Trapped By The Cold-Hearted Billionaire Chapter 31 ~ Wrong question
Sky walked into the office building, her usual bright mood nowhere in sight. She was feeling so low after the hospital visit and even though they were not telling her everything. She knew something wasn’t right. She wanted to call in sick but she had already been away for seven days. Knowing her newly found bestie would be there, she looked forward to seeing her designs. Being with Scarlet always put her in a good mood because watching her design felt like she was closer to her mother who was the best fashion designer in Haybern and beyond. When she reached the office seat Scarlet always occupied, her frown deepened. The desk was empty.Sky looked around hoping she was just grabbing a coffee mug she loved or something so she sat and ten minutes later, there was still nothing!“Where is she?” Sky muttered under her breath. Scarlet was always early, always the first to arrive. The absence gnawed at her. Pulling out her phone, Sky dialed Scarlet’s number. It went straight to voicemail.

Easton’s jaw clenched as unease gripped his chest. He straightened, motioning for Kai to stay as he pressed the phone closer to his ear. “Who do you have?” he demanded, his voice cold but low...A low chuckle echoed through the receiver. “Smart man. Saves us both time. Let’s say... someone you wouldn’t want to lose.”Easton’s grip on the phone tightened. His mind raced. Sky? It couldn’t be Sky—she had just stormed out. “What do you want?” he asked, forcing himself to remain calm.“Ah, you catch on quick. I need a favor from you, Mr. Black. It’s a small one, really. A little trade.”Kai’s brows furrowed as he watched Easton, concern evident in his eyes. Easton held up a hand to silence him.“I don’t deal with cowards who hide behind threats. Be clear, or I hang up,” Easton said, his tone venomous.“Oh, you’ll want to hear me out,” the voice purred. “I have your precious Scarlet Frost, and she doesn’t look so... good right now. Loss of blood can be a terrible thing you know." Easto

“Give me Scarlet,” Easton responded without thought and Dante burst into laughter.“She has you whipped, eh? I thought my eyes were deceiving me at the club that night,” Dante taunted, stepping closer. “But are you sure about this? What will you tell your brother, Easton? That you sacrificed the woman he loves? That you chose your obsession over loyalty? That’s cold, even for you. Especially that she’s the reason he’s in a comma!” He laughed again, his tone filled with mockery...Before the words could fully settle, Easton moved at the speed of light and Dante didn’t see it coming. His fist brutally connected with Dante’s jaw, sending the man staggering back. The sound of the impact bounced against the warehouse walls, silencing even the guards for a moment.Dante groaned, touching his jaw as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Despite the pain, his smirk didn’t drop. “Well, well. There’s the Black family temper.”Dante’s men immediately raised their weapons, aiming at Easton

Scarlet jolted awake, her breath caught in her throat as her body surged upright. Her heart thundered in her chest, her hands gripping the soft sheets beneath her as she scanned the dimly lit room. The air smelled faintly of cedarwood and something unmistakably masculine. She swallowed hard, trying to make sense of her surroundings.Her heart slowed as she noticed the plush bedding and the soft light filtering through thick curtains. For a fleeting moment, she thought it had all been a nightmare.The kidnapping.Jade, the ropes, the blood, the desperate escape. She inhaled deeply, trying to convince herself it was just a bad dream until it all came crashing back down. This wasn’t her room!In fear, she lifted the bedsheets to check herself and noticed that she was wearing men’s clothes.Fear gripped her as she imagined the worst. Was she taken and sold?The Memory from earlier came flashing back like a wave: Easton, her unreadable expression, and the pounding in her chest.Did he ta

Scarlet's eyes widened in disbelief, her throat still burning from the water she'd just choked on. She coughed, turning her head slightly to avoid his penetrating gaze. "What?" she croaked, staring at the fork of pasta he held so casually as if this were the most normal thing in the world.Easton's expression was unreadable, "I said, open up, do you have a hearing problem?" he taunted.Scarlet leaned back against the couch, shaking her head. "I can feed myself," she said, her voice steadier now, though her hands were trembling. She felt cornered—not just by his looming presence but by the strange mix of tenderness and malice he carried.It was like he was hot and cold which was driving her insane and was finding it a little too hard to keep up with his constant switches. Easton leaned forward, closing the gap again, his broad frame making her feel even smaller. "I didn't ask if you could," he said, his tone dropping to a dangerous deep low. "Let me remind you—you're in my home, we

“Oh no! Are you okay?” Aria’s voice came in shock as Scarlet told her what happened.“Yeah, I guess so. I'm a little shaken, but I’m okay.” Scarlet sighed as she whispered into the phone.She was back to work on her own accord even though Easton told her to take some time off. She didn’t trust his softness and assumed he’d just call her back again, and it would annoy her, so if she was going to come anyway, it was better that she reported on time.“I’m so sorry. Damn, should I come over today? I have some free days since I made some great sales “ Aria offered with a sigh.Hearing how her best friend almost died and she had no idea made her heart clench painfully and tears filled her eyes. “Yes please. I don’t want to be alone. Should we work overnight to get the stress away?” She asked.“Overnight work session? Do you really think that’ll help?” Aria asked worriedly. “You went through hell, babe. Maybe we can do something else that doesn't involve working.”“Like what?” “I don't kno

"The family didn’t even know what happened at first," she started, her voice dropping to a near whisper, as if sharing a well-guarded secret. "All they got was a call saying Alex—uh, Michael—was in a terrible accident. It was chaos. He was not only Easton’s older brother, you know, he was a warm CEO and a great son, although rumor has it that Easton is the father’s favorite. Story for another day." She waved it off before she continued, “So, the news broke hearts. It was all over the news. Stocks dropped, you know the drill.”"That's how Easton became CEO?" Scarlet asked.Sky nodded, "Yes. He was pressured to. He didn't accept at first, but the shareholders threatened to pull out if they employed someone other than him. Which is crazy because he told them he'd cut the company into pieces and sell it off. But that went down the drain because he was announced as CEO the next day. No one knows how he changed his mind so quickly. "Scarlet nodded slowly, trying to mask her unease. How

“What are you talking about?” A confused Scarlet frowned. Victoria scoffed and stepped into her space, fighting the urge to smack her but she knew it was against the work ethic and would get her fired.“Viky, what have you worked up?” Her colleague asked.“I went to collect the design theme from Amanda but guess what, I’m not the lead designer in this project. Scarlet is! How is that possible?” Victoria fumed. “Technically, she’s more talented than you so that shouldn’t be a shocker,” Sky commented.“Scarlet, is this true?” Grace stepped in, the room which was empty suddenly became full and all eyes were on her. Scarlet had no idea what they were talking about because unlike them who had a pretty good night's sleep, she was kidnapped and fighting for her life. “What project are you talking about?” she asked, her voice laced with confusion and exhaustion.Victoria scoffed, stepping into Scarlet’s space, her frustration barely contained. “You know exactly what I’m talking about,” she

Ten years later…The Black estate was alive with laughter and warmth, a stark contrast to the cold, intimidating mansion it had once been. “It wasn’t me!” Michael Black, once known for his gruff and no-nonsense demeanor, had long since abandoned any illusion of control in his household. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, sipping his morning coffee, and watching the chaos unfold in the garden below. His ten-year-old daughter, Sophia, a whirlwind of energy with her mother’s stubbornness and his sharp mind, was currently chasing her younger brother, Eli, around the backyard. Eli, at six years old, was just as mischievous as his sister, but with a charm that let him get away with just about anything—especially with his mother. Vivian had always been a force to be reckoned with, but as a mother, she was even more terrifyingly devoted. Michael smirked as he watched her from the window. She was standing with Scarlet, laughing as she scolded Sophia for attempting

“What is going on?” Vivian asked, her voice laced with curiosity as Michael carefully led her outside, his large hands covering her eyes. “Just trust me,” he murmured near her ear, his deep voice sending a familiar shiver down her spine. Vivian huffed but didn’t argue. She could feel the cool evening breeze against her skin and the soft sound of music in the background. The scent of roses filled the air, mingling with something delicious—her stomach grumbled in anticipation. Finally, Michael stopped his hands slowly slipping away from her face. Vivian blinked as her vision adjusted, and when she finally took in what was before her, her breath hitched. The backyard had been transformed into something straight out of a dream. A large mattress covered in rose petals was nestled under twinkling fairy lights, and a beautifully set dinner table stood nearby, illuminated by the soft glow of candles. A huge screen was set up, ready to play what she assumed was one of their favorite

The grand estate was transformed into a dream-like setting, decorated in soft hues of pink and blue. Fairy lights twinkled in the trees, and elegant floral arrangements adorned every corner of the sprawling garden. A large "Baby Black" banner hung over the beautifully arranged dessert table, where an assortment of sweets and a magnificent tiered cake waited to be cut. Michael had spared no expense, ensuring the event was perfect. Vivian, of course, had demanded something extravagant, and he had gladly complied. Vivian stood in the center of it all, glowing, her six-month baby bump accentuated by a flowing satin dress that curved just below her bust. She had chosen a shimmering gold gown, refusing to blend into the pink and blue theme. Her hair had been turned into soft curls, and her eyes sparkled with excitement. Michael, ever the grumpy billionaire, stood beside her in a white shirt and black pants, looking both inpatient and ridiculously handsome. Vivian had complained a

Michael unlocked the door to their home. A cake in one hand and flowers in another.His mind still running through his conversation with Easton. Foot rubs, space, asking what she needed—it all felt a little… too simple. But he’d try. He needed to try. The moment he stepped inside, he was hit with the scent of freshly baked cookies. He paused, taking a slow breath. His heart rate quickened. Was she really baking? Vivian didn’t exactly strike him as the domestic type. His curiosity led him further into the house, and that’s when he saw her. Vivian stood by the kitchen counter, a wide grin on her face, clearly waiting for his reaction. Her apron was askew, flour streaked on her cheek, but she looked happier than he’d seen her in days. “Michael!” she exclaimed, her voice laced with excitement. “I made cookies! I thought you’d like them.” “Really? I got you your cake and some flowers.” Micheal responded, hesitation filling his voice as he searched for a reaction.Vivian’s smil

Michael sat across from Easton at a secluded café, nursing a cup of coffee. His eyes were bloodshot, and his hands kept fidgeting as if he had no idea what to do with them. His mind was racing, but he was at a complete loss. Easton sat back in his chair, eyes scanning the menu as if Michael wasn’t about to have a mental breakdown in front of him. Finally, he looked up, raising an eyebrow as he studied his older brother. “You look like shit,” Easton said with a smirk, clearly not concerned with Michael’s state of mind. Michael glared at him. “You always have a way with words, don’t you?” Easton chuckled and leaned forward, folding his arms across his chest. “So, what’s going on? The great Michael Black losing his cool over a pregnancy?” Michael huffed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. “I can’t do anything right, Easton. She cries all the time, and I don’t know how to handle it. Everything I do seems to upset her. I just want her to be happy.”Easton raised

Michael’s grip tightened on his pen as his phone vibrated again. He ignored it. For the past thirty minutes, Vivian had been bombarding him with messages—most of them utterly useless. Vivian: [Where’s the cup?]Michael: [Kitchen.] Vivian:[Where are the plates?]Michael: [Same place as the cups.] Vivian:[Should I bring you lunch?]Michael: [No.]Vivian:[Why not?]Michael inhaled sharply, fighting the urge to rub his temples. He was in a high-stakes meeting with top executives, discussing a billion-dollar deal, and his wife was acting like a toddler. They had moved into a new home because she hated penthouses and apartments. So he had built her a house she could turn into a home but now he was regretting having had everything done. He should have let her decorate to keep her busy. Another buzz. Vivian:[What are you doing?] Michael clenched his jaw. [Working.]Vivian: [Boring. Want me to send you a funny picture?]He didn’t reply. Two seconds later— Buzz.He g

6 months later….“Vivian, please! You have to talk to your husband!"Vivian held the phone away from her ear, staring at it like it had personally offended her. She sighed, reclining further into the oversized armchair, her silk nightgown draping over her six-month belly. Her father’s frantic voice continued. “He’s taken everything! The company, the house—do you hear me? I have nothing left! Your sister's savings for her tuition!" Vivian swirled the fresh orange juice in her glass, utterly unimpressed. “Mmm. That does sound like a problem.” "Vivian Chen!”“It's Mrs Black. Don't make me lose my temper this morning.”“Right. Right. You see you're his wife make him reverse it!” Vivian had no idea what Micheal had done but she was bored and would enjoy every moment of it. She sighed dramatically. "Oh, I’m sorry. I should be more understanding. After all, when I needed help, everyone rushed to my aid, didn’t they? Oh wait—no one did.” "This isn’t funny! Tell Michael to stop this

The room felt impossibly small despite how grand the ceremony was. Vivian’s pulse thundered in her ears as the priest began speaking, his voice a distant sound compared to the storm of emotions within her.So this was happening. Instead of being sold to an old hag, she was now marrying a stranger who she had a one night with. It's not the best option, but it's definitely the lesser evil. Michael’s hand remained wrapped around hers—firm, warm, unshaking.He looked like he was sure about this. Calm and collected while her mind was going wild, and she was about to go insane from the number of thoughts that were spinning in her head. Doubts. Fear. Uncertainty. He had always been a mystery, with a strong aura she folded to. Yet, standing here, the certainty in his eyes sent a shiver down her spine. This was real.The priest cleared his throat. "The couple has chosen to exchange personal vows. Michael, you may begin."“We have?” Vivian blurted out, making everyone chuckle. It was li
