TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN FRIEND OR FOE
Reynolds sat in his seat, swiveling from side to side. After leaving the office last night he had assigned two guards to trail Luke and keep an eye on him. Reynolds knew he had to do more than just watch him but he couldn't trust himself not to go into blind fury and beat the crap out of Luke.He hated sympathy, he was ruthless to his enemies, surely Luke was an enemy now and he was going to deal with him as such. This was why he did not fancy the idea of keeping friends. After what Nicholas and Ann did to him, he decided not to let anyone in but Luke was easy, he was always there, even with his occasional spells of anger, he was still stuck and he had come to love being around him and his wife.Not anymore, Luke had taken a document very crucial to the survival of his father's company, something that could destroy the company if it landed in the wrong hands. At that point Luke was dragged into the office by two bodyguards. "Let go of me!' he struggled."Luke, have a seat, ' Reynol

Amy looked at Reynolds sitting pitifully on the floor and realized she would never get to see him in such a situation after now. As much as she relished seeing the high and mighty Reynolds in such condition, it scared her a little bit that he could be normal like the rest of them, be drunk and throw caution into the wind."Reynolds let me help you up". Amy said and grabbed his hand, pulling him up to his feet. Unfortunately she did not properly judge the distance between them and as she pulled him up, his body plastered against hers, making her reel backwards. The feel of his body on hers sent tingling sensations to various parts of her body making her stagger backwards again.Reynolds put his hands around her waist holding her steady, preventing her from falling. "I'm the drunk here or am I not?" Reynolds asked her as his eyes roamed every inch of her body, making her terribly aware of herself. Amy shook her head as though to dispel the terrible thoughts making their way into her he

Amy groaned and turned her face the other way as a fragment of sunlight shone on her face. The bed didn't feel familiar and her eyes shot open. The events of the last night came back to her and she looked down into the duvet and sighed. She looked around the room but didn't see any sign of Reynolds. Was she even expecting him to still be there waiting for her?She questioned herself. Typical of him to bolt, was she so bad that he couldn't wait to get away from her, she thought.She untangled herself from the duvet and made her way to her nightie which was slung over the chair. She put it on, looked at the bed one more time, thought of making the bed but decided not to. Opening the door, she peeped outside to check if anyone was outside. When the coast was clear, she closed the door behind her and walked back to her room.She picked up her phone from where she left it plugged on the nightstand and put it on. "12pm!It's midday already?" Amy screamed. There were calls on her phone, cal

Ann pulled out the seat opposite Reynolds and sat, placing her Gucci bag gingerly on the table. "What do you want Ann?" Reynolds asked. Ann searched his face for some form of emotion but was met with his blank consistent stare. "That is no way to welcome me Reynolds" Ann said and smiled sardonically. "You have no right to come to my office and demand a warm welcome or any form of welcoming at that"."I'm here to get you back, I left Nicholas 4 months ago". Reynolds smiled a tight lipped smile and cocked his head to one side. "Are you really stupid enough or delusional enough to think that there is any chance for you in my life?". "Oh come on Reynolds, people make mistakes, cut me some slack here". "You have some nerve coming here Ann, if you are done you can leave"."I sacrificed everything for you Reynolds, I left my job, ended my modeling career for you, for our relationship". "No Ann you left your job for yourself, because you were too lazy and more of an entitled brat to work,

Amy took extra time with her appearance today, she had on a gray cashmere sweater paired with black wide leg pants. Today they were going to pay a visit to Reynolds grandmother who couldn't attend the wedding because of her health. Apparently the proper thing was for the couple to pay her a customary visit together. She chuckled at the word couple, it sounded surreal to her. She looked at her makeup kit, thought for a while and decided to settle with less makeup for today, although heavy under her eyes to hide her freckles.Reynolds had left the house early after his morning jog, he had something urgent to sort out in the office. She had canceled all her appointments for the day and told Jane to take care of any other important thing. Apparently Reynolds thought she needed the whole day to get ready to visit his grandma. Surely she wasn't that bad that she needed to take extra time to ponder on which clothing to wear. She stood in front of her shoe rack and debated on which heels t

Reynolds parked in the garage, Amy stepped down and took a good look at the house, flowers were everywhere. The house had the look of a 90s Victorian house. "Welcome, welcome" a voice said. Amy turned and saw a woman coming from around the back of the house, wearing rain boots. "Grams," Reynolds said and walked into her outstretched arms. Amy stood there looking at them, She did not expect to see such a vibrant woman. "Wonderful, wonderful girl, come here" Reynolds grandma said and pulled her into a hug."You are so pretty," she whispered into Amy's ear.. She released Amy and spun her 360 to get a good look at her. "You got yourself a good one here" she said and winked at Reynolds. "Let's go in" she said and led them into the house, still clutching onto Amy's hand. They sat in the living room, "We got these for you ma" Amy said and handed the bag of gifts to her. "Just call me grandma" she said and smiled at her. "I hope my grandson has not riled you up, forgive him if he has, it's

Reynolds led Amy back into the house with his grandma following behind. "Let me get the first aid box" his grandma said and disappeared. Reynolds held Amy's hand, using his finger to apply pressure on the bleeding site. "Your grandma isn't here, you can let go of me now, don't worry about the couples show". Amy said and tried to wrench her hand free from his grasp but he wouldn't budge. "Keep still," Reynolds muttered through his teeth. Amy looked at him and seeing the seriousness in his eyes, she decided to keep still.His grandma hurried back with an old, white first aid box, the red cross already fading off it. She opened it and took out an antiseptic, cleaned the wound with it and covered it with a band aid. "There you go, nice and clean". She said and took the box back. Amy put the finger in front of her face and looked at it like an offending object for a while. "They didn't teach you in school to avoid rose bushes?" Reynolds asked her, staring her squarely in the face. "Or di

Blood drained from Reynolds face as he heard what the other person was saying hurriedly. His wife was involved in a car accident and she had been rushed to the hospital. "What's the name of the hospital?" Reynolds asked still trying to maintain his composure. "Elena Grey's memorial hospital" the caller said. Reynolds hung up the call and rang Luke, "get my car ready now" he barked into the phone and hung up the line before Luke could say anything.He picked some documents and walked out of the office, into his car and barked the name of the hospital at his driver. "Can't you go any faster than this?" He screamed at his driver and the man increased the speed of the car. In no time, they arrived at the hospital and he jumped out of the car before it could even stop and ran into the hospital. "Amy Bennet" he said to the receptionist who was staring at him as if she had seen a ghost. "Are you dumb? I said, "Where is Amy Bennet?" He shouted at her."Sorry...erm... she is in the emergency

TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN INTERLUDE
"How could you tell that detective that I had issues with Amy?" Sarah screamed at Jessie. Without waiting for her to reply she launched again, "and you eavesdropped on my phone call? Jess you eavesdropped on my phone call with my husband and went ahead to snitch on me to make yourself look good". "I did not snitch on you Sarah at least it was not my intention to, he was just so persistent and made me say it" Jessie said slowly. "How could you throw her under the bus to save yourself Jessie?" Ava asked and shook her head in disappointment.The first day of the interrogations had ended with only Jessie and Sarah being the first two to be interrogated. Ava had asked everyone to meet after the whole day to get to know what happened and as a form of emotional support but things were gradually going South between Sarah and Jessie. "I…I didn't know what to say Sarah. It was like he was seeing into my soul and I couldn't shake the feeling off that was why I told him the first thing that
TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN SARAH
Detective Jones picked up the next file in front of him; the name on it read Sarah O’Brien, she was Luke's wife. Luke who happened to be the personal assistant to Reynolds Bennet and his close friend too. In a way she was the closest to the Bennet’s and would probably have more information than any other person could. He flipped open his note to where Sarah’s name was scribbled and peered at it, so far he had not been able to deduce any falling out or argument between her and Amy but that was the scary thing. The hidden resentments were usually the worst because when it manifested it usually was fatal. A knock sounded on the iron door and he pushed his chair back and rose to his feet, it was time for the next person.“Sarah O’Brien right?” detective Jones asked and stretched his hand to the woman at the door. “Yes,” Sarah said and took his hand. “Please step into the room” he said and moved to one side, giving her just enough space to go in. He watched her walk into the room and
TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN JESSIE
Detective Jones stood behind the door of the compact sized room used as storage for the numerous files which harbored the cases that had been brought to the station since it had been erected. Cases some of which had been investigated properly while some cast away and long forgotten, their files now accumulated with dust and fraying at the edges. They filled the room at one end and spilled into the other end at one side. Detective Jones had spent half of the night moving and shoving things to one side of the room, leaving the other side of the room bare but which now had a small table with two chairs one on each side of the table sitting in it. He planned to convert the room into a makeshift interrogation room just like the one they had and used in the headquarters when they brought in people for questioning.Detective Jones yanked the cranky door open and strolled into the room, he walked towards the only window in the room and pushed it open, letting the slant ray of sunlight fil
TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN ENEMY IN DISGUISE
Amy weaved through the throng of people as she made her way to the table where her friends sat. Sarah stood up and hugged her as well as she could, given that the size of her stomach had increased by 3 since the last time they had met, which was at her baby shower. “How are you doing Amy? You refused to see any of us for almost a week since that incident” Sarah said and led her to a seat. “Are you finally out from your hiding?” Carie said and placed her hand on Amy’s lap. “I wasn’t in hiding, I just needed to get some things straight” Amy said to them.“We were all so worried about you Amy, we called your office but your secretary said you were not yet on seat. You refused to take our calls or respond to our messages, I hope you don’t blame us for what happened that day” Ava said. “I am fine guys but there is a problem, I am not allowed to speak or talk to anyone who was present during the baby shower because there is going to be an investigation because I was obviously framed fo
TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN A NEW DETECTIVE
Reynolds sat in the waiting area waiting for the police superintendent. It had been 3 days since Amy's arrest and their last meeting and he couldn’t let it pile up any longer, he came in early in the morning because he needed to do something about the whole situation. He had contacted Luke the night before and they discussed strategies and plans to go about Amy’s case and how to prove that she was not guilty and they had come up with plans which he was here to try out.The door to the office opened and the man stepped out and gestured for Reynolds to come in. “Mr. Bennet please come in” he said and Reynolds followed him into the office he had been in for like the 5th time in one week. “I want to know what types of investigations are being carried out on my wife’s case,” Reynolds asked. “Well Mr. Bennet, we have not yet commenced investigations on your wife’s case” the superintendent said and rapped his fingers on the table.Reynolds was having a feeling that at this point this cou
TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN RELEASED BUT NOT FREE
“Mr. Bennet I’m sorry but that will be quite difficult to achieve at this moment. We don’t take it likely with drug offenders and the case has been transferred to the DEA’s table” the police superintendent said to a grim faced Reynolds who was sitting in front of him. “How is that even possible? You arrested my wife last night and in the space of less than 24 hours the case has been transferred to the DEA’s table? I know the amount of paperwork involved in transferring cases Mr. Superintendent so do not try to fuck with me. I want my wife’s case transferred to the headquarters” Reynolds said again. “Mr. Bennet I’m afraid that cannot happen, this is my jurisdiction and it is a sensitive case which…” “Don’t tell me it’s a sensitive case Goddammit” Reynolds shouted and banged the table in front of him with a clenched fist. “I want my wife out of that cell this minute and for her case to be transferred to the headquarters or else I will subtly fuck you up in ways you cannot imagine
