The Billionaire's Entrapment Chapter 75 - Three Madmen
"Haa... So, in the end, Airland fell into the Wincorp's hands."Maximilian Myers poured three glasses of whiskey at a time while complaining."So, after a long and tiring battle, MAC finally lost. Ha!"He put down his whiskey bottle with more force, then lowered his head.For a few moments, Max was silent while Alex and Caleb exchanged questioning looks.Currently, the three founders of MAC Capital Management are sitting on the roof of their office building. They spend time here after work.They sat around a small table with a crystal whiskey decanter, a small bowl of nuts and dried fruit to snack on, and three glasses.Not far from where they sat, there were their used dinner plates piled up."I didn't think that I would be able to lose to Aramis Winter."Max muttered to himself. He sounds so pitiful."I, Maximilian Myers, lost to someone like Aramis. He, who has always been known not to have enough brains to think that way, was able to beat me.""Max?""Oh, Lord. My pride. How's it
The Billionaire's Entrapment Chapter 76 - Authority Without Ability
Aramis' spoon almost fell.His hands were shaking so severely that he could barely hold the spoon properly.He didn't dare to raise his head. Aramis did not have enough courage to look at his father.Elliott's gaze was intimidating, and Aramis knew his father was waiting for him to explain.There was no sound of spoons or forks clinking against plates. No one else had the urge to continue eating.Everyone was silent, waiting, and that depressed Aramis even more."Sir, i—it's… I—I can explain."Even after swallowing several times, Aramis still felt dry throat. He has difficulty speaking."Sir… I—I didn't mean it badly. I—I just—""Yes, Aramis. Just what?"Elliott's voice that interrupted him felt like a knife sharpening, ready to slice him alive."Since this afternoon, I've been busy thinking. What exactly do you want to do something like this? What exactly was on your mind when you decided to do this? And what exactly have you been doing behind my back?"Aramis swallowed hard.He then
The Billionaire's Entrapment Chapter 77 - Smart but Stupid
Aramis felt that he has a bone to pick. "You son of a bitch! Ten years—I fed and clothed you—curse you! Repaying my grace with enmity?” What Aramis said was, of course, a load of bullshit. It wasn't him who cared for and raised Alex. If Elliot had said that, then Alex could still accept it. But Aramis? Ha! "It must be you who cost me a fortune to win Airland's bidding! All of this must be your doing! Fucking cunts. Go to hell!" Alex's brow furrowed. Right now, Aramis was behaving like a drunken man. Aramis’ anger exploded when he saw a smile grace Alex’s face. ‘How dare you smile, you lowly thing, making me sick to my stomach!' "Good afternoon, Uncle Aramis. How are you today?" Alex greeted him kindly, and this made Aramis even angrier. "I also wanted to talk to you, but it's too bad because I have to go now. Well, what else can I do? There are many things I need to do well." "You— you—" "I'll take my leave first. See you tonight, Uncle. Have a nice day." Alex smiled an

"Let's go."Alex whispered. He traced Elisha's hair, like willow leaves in autumn, and kissed it."Everything is ready, and we can leave immediately.""Right now?""Yes, Elisha. Right now. Is there anything else you require? No need to overthink. I’ll pay for the rest and everything you need."Elisha didn’t even have time to change her mind.However, it didn't mean that she was utterly calm.They were going to visit the Winter estate to meet Elliott. She had no idea what Alex had been up to until Elliott suddenly invited them tonight."What are you thinking about?"Alex touched her chin, making Elisha look into his deep blue eyes."Elisha, are you thinking about another man even when you're with me?""Of course not, Alex. I only feel worried.""What are you worried about exactly?""Aren't we going to your family's estate?"Alex raised an eyebrow, waiting for Elisha to finish her sentence."So, I feel anxious because I will meet them.”It's not too difficult to guess who the 'they' th

"What exactly have you been doing, Alex?""Hmm? What do you mean? Elisha, what have I done?”Elisha rolled her eyes."Don't feign ignorance. Your Grandpa couldn't have changed that drastically without a cause for it.""So, you mean my Grandpa, Elisha? Wow, I'm a little disappointed. I thought you wanted to talk about me."Elisha took a deep breath, trying to increase her stock of patience."I don't need to talk about you, Alex.""Why? Does that mean you don't feel the least bit attracted to me?""Because I already know about you."Alex's forehead creased. He even turned his head to look at Elisha, even though he was driving."Really?" he asked with a chuckle."Elisha, I would be very impressed if you knew about me.""Would you like to hear?""Try me.""Alexander Winter. Twenty-eight years old, and your birthday is on the twentieth of December. The only son of Adrianus Winter and Willona Garcia. Their marriage did not get the blessing, thus driving them out of the Winter family. Origin
The Billionaire's Entrapment Chapter 80 - Their Bad Intention
"I'm so disappointed, Aramis! Elisha— Did you see what that woman has done?" Bellona immediately shouted in rage when she entered her bedroom. Elliott was in his office, which was far from Bellona's bedroom. That was why she dared to be angry like this. She sat up, annoyed, on the edge of the bed. She folded her arms and made a sullen face. "I just saw what gifts your father gave to that slut! Your father gave her a set of jewelry! Just imagine that! Aramis, shouldn't everything in this family has belonged to me? I am your wife, Aramis—the wife of the first son of the Winter family. I am the wife of someone who will be the successor of this family. But now, look at what treatment I received! Aramis, I don't deserve to be treated like this!" Bellona hugged Aramis' arm and sulked. "How dare she bother me like this. How dare she want to be on par with me? That slut, she treats us without the slightest bit of respect! How dare she!" Bellona started to cry, making Aramis' heartburn
The Billionaire's Entrapment Chapter 81 - Wish You Were Here
The next day, in early morning.Bellona went to her family's residence. Her purpose was none other than to meet her father, Richard Quinn.There, she whined and stomped her feet in annoyance."I'm so sad, Dad. During this time, Aramis and I have done a lot for the sake of the Winter family. We have sacrificed a lot for the Winter family. But we get contempt as well in return."Richard Quinn is a man with such high self-esteem. He comes from the prestigious Quinn family and could never accept someone looking down on him and his family.Of course, Richard Quinn's power was no match to Elliott Winter with his might. Nonetheless, except for the Winter family, Quinn was one of the most dominant families in Chicago."Dad, I'm so, so upset. All our hard work has turned out to be completely useless."Bellona was the apple of the Quinn couple's eye. When their only daughter returned to their estate, the Quinn couple did everything to appease her with doting affection."Oh, my Dear Bella. How

"I haven't seen you this happy in a long time, sir."Harris Hilton said, flashing a smile.He was in Elliott's office at the Winter family's main residence. As usual, it was just the two of them."If I observe, you also often stare at the painting. You seem to like it."Elliott snorted in response.But when Elliott turned to face him, Harris saw a smile on the older man's face."This painting is not made with high technique. When compared to other famous paintings, this painting is inferior.""But you like it, sir. Doesn't that mean that this painting has more value?""Yes."Elliott nodded."You're right, Harris. There's something about this painting that intrigues me."Harris didn't say anything, but there was interest on his face."Come here," Elliott said. "Come closer. Look at the painting with me."Even though he felt awkward, Harris still complied with Elliott's request earlier."Take a good look at this painting, then tell me, what do you think about this painting?"Harris look

'Alex gave me twenty million dollars to stop trying to contact you. He also put pressure on Dudley Baker with the help of a woman named Nora Hawk, if I remember correctly.' Elisha rubbed her sweaty forehead. She had never expected to hear such a thing. Alex had lied to her. He lied to her from the start. "If so, is it possible that everything he's said all this time is also a lie?" she whispered. "He said he loves me and that he needs me... Those are all lies?" Elisha's head throbbed painfully. Being in a relationship with someone who couldn't tell the difference between lying and not wasn't something Elisha could hope for. "Madame, are you all right?" "What?" "Since you were in prison earlier, you've been more silent." Elisha smiled faintly. "It's okay, sir Evan. I'm fine. But can you take me to my dad's? I want to see him." "Of course, madam. But don't forget that later you have lunch plans with Sir Alex in his office." "Ah, about that, I'll meet Alex with my family's dri
The Billionaire's Entrapment Chapter 123 - After The Storm
After the storm, there will be a rainbow, which suits the current situation.Elisha woke to the morning sunshine. She stretched a little, enjoying the sensual feel of the sheet against her naked body. And she saw him.Alex was sitting in a chair near the window, wearing only his shorts, reading something on his cell phone. She came to him.Elisha climbed into his lap and curled herself against him as he wrapped her in his embrace."Good morning," she whispered.Alex put down his phone and looked at his wife intently.He felt the soft heat of her breast against his chest, the gentle touch of her hand on his cheek. He closed his eyes when her lips were soft against his as she kissed him."It's killing me," he said gruffly. "I feel like my sanity depends on you, Wife.""What?""My desire for you is a burden on my soul. I'm desperate for you. I want to have you completely. Your mind, your heart, and also your body. I want to have all of that, Wife.""Alex, I—""Would you believe me if I s
The Billionaire's Entrapment Chapter 122 - Karma
It's been a month since Aeron's funeral.Today, Elliott decided to visit the graves of his wife and two sons.First of all, he visited Natasha's grave. There, Elliott spent half an hour recounting what had happened.He tells about Aramis, who is now in jail. Elliott also expressed his great disappointment towards Aramis, whom, although he was not his biological son, he had raised well."I feel guilty towards Aeron because all this time I hardly ever paid attention to him, Natasha," he said in a very low voice. "All this time, I thought of him as a useless child without me first trying to teach him well."Of course, Elliott's regrets didn't stop there. There was another, even greater regret he felt."Adrianus." He whispered. "Even though our son was innocent, I kicked him out cruelly. I never even wanted to meet him and his family, not until he and his wife died in an accident. Then, Natasha, do you know what more terrible things I have done?"Elliott looked at his wife's tombstone. Th

"Sir, this— Is what you said just now true?"Harris Hilton's voice sounded so surprised. Not long after, he hurriedly apologized for speaking in such an exclamatory tone."That's right, Harris. Please keep this secret to yourself. My children can't find out just yet. I'm telling you this so that I don't explode.""But why? How could you keep something this big a secret even for so many years?""I had to, Harris! Do you think I would do it if I still had a choice? The Winter family's reputation is at stake, and there is no way out.""But, this— Excuse me, sir. I didn't think that—""My younger sister, Maura, attends a boarding school in Switzerland. But one day, she suddenly came home pregnant. We are, of course, shocked by a situation like that. Moreover, Maura didn't want to tell who the man who had made her pregnant was. She carried the secret even to the end. She died in childbirth."There was silence for a few moments until Harry finally found his voice again. "So how— Ah, apologi

Aeron's funeral took place on a beautiful day.The sky looks so blue, decorated with white clouds. The sun was shining brightly, and the air was refreshing. Truly a perfect day to spend on vacation.Alex frowned.This pleasant weather seemed to mock those who were grieving.Many people attended Aeron's funeral, including Diora, his ex-wife. Alex could see Diora standing a bit away and alone. She looked like she didn't want people to recognize her.Neither Pamela nor David accompanied Diora because Alex knew that his two cousins were with Elisha, his wife.Alex snorted in amusement while one corner of his lips pulled upwards.Now, he felt ridiculous about himself. It didn't feel long ago that he had been irritated that David was clinging to Elisha like a kitten following its mother everywhere.But now, Alex was grateful.He was grateful for having Elisha because it was thanks to his wife that his two cousins could be stronger through this terrible storm."Wife, I miss you.""I'm he
The Billionaire's Entrapment Chapter 119 - The Horrible Night
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.Alex was sitting looking at Elisha, who was making up. All the movements that his wife did seemed to be inseparable from his pair of deep blue eyes.He watches her when Elisha looks up when wearing eyeliner or when her lips are slightly parted when Elisha applies lipstick, and he doesn't feel bored at all.This was crazy.Ever since Alex realized his feelings for Elisha, he didn't want to leave his wife. Even to go to work, he felt so lazy, whereas before, Alex was a workaholic. He didn't seem like he was, but surprisingly Alex didn't mind.This was weird."Is there something weird?""Pardon?""Alex, since earlier, you have been looking at me incessantly. So, what's wrong? Is there anything strange about my appearance?"He smiled. "I think you have caught me, Wife," he said.Alex approached Elisha, hugged her from behind, then rested his chin on Elisha's shoulder. He looked at himself and Elisha in the mirror and was amazed by how perfect th

"Of course, we'll come, Aeron. Don't worry. Anyway, please prepare lots of delicious food for us."Aeron heard a soft groan which was followed by a chuckle. He smiled, too, because he could imagine that on the other side of the call, Adrianus was being beaten by Willona."All right," he said with laughter. "See you tonight.""See you tonight. Oh, and Aeron.""Yes?""I'm glad you invited us. Thank you."Aeron was silent for a few moments. He, too, felt so moved.It had been quite some time since Adrianus had been chased out of the house by Elliot, and finally, tonight, they would gather again for dinner together."I feel happy too, Brother," he said then. "See you tonight."Their phone call finally ended. Aeron then informed Aramis that Adrianus and his family were coming. After that, he waited happily but impatiently for dinner.But in fact, everything ended not according to Aeron's expectations.That night Adrianus had an accident that killed him and his wife, Willona. And the dinne

Aeron was very shocked when he found out how Pamela was.His daughter needed treatment to remove all the effects of the drug in her body. On top of that, Pamela was clearly under a lot of mental stress.Aeron sat hunched over and covered his face with both hands.He was relieved already that David had regained consciousness after undergoing various treatments for the concussion he had. But now, he again felt worried about Pamela's condition."Oh, Lord. Why is everything getting messed up like this?"Aeron groaned and wailed. He felt that the happiness that he had, now shattered in the blink of an eye.Hadn't his life been nearly perfect all this time?Even though he is not the main heir in his family, Aeron has more than enough wealth. He has a magnificent house and all kinds of other luxuries.Aeron also has a beautiful wife and two children, a daughter, and a son.Her life is perfect. He has everything. But now, everything seemed to be turned upside down."Why am I going through all
The Billionaire's Entrapment Chapter 116 - Shameless
In the quiet bedroom, only the sound of two people breathing could be heard.Elisha was breathing, calming down to an even pace, and Alex lowered his head, turned her body sideways, then wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into his arms.He embraced her for a while, then covered her lips, eyes, and forehead with kisses."Alex, I think we should get up now.""Mmhh."Elisha laughed. Alex's kisses amused her."Stop it. Ha-ha. Alex, please. That’s ticklish.""Then, how about I make it not ticklish?""No! Alex, it's already morning.""We can still make it. Wife, there is plenty of time."Alex whispered, then bit her neck and left another hickey there.His hand stealthily slipped from her back to her waist, but Elisha twisted her body and naturally pushed his hand away.When the smooth sensation of her skin disappeared from his palm, he reached out stubbornly and grabbed her buttocks.This time, Elisha pushed away from his chest."Wife?""We can’t, Alex. Don't you have to go to w
