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

“What do you mean he’s been avoiding you? My brother loves you, Scarlet.” Sky placed the bubble tea on the table as she joined Scarlet at their booked table. “Yeah, and everyone knows that.” Jules pointed out.“I mean the man did trap you with a contract to keep his eyes on you. That’s love.” Aria added when Sky rolled her eyes.“That’s a crime, Aria. Not Love.” “Speak for yourself, woman!” She argued right before Scarlet leaned back with a small smile on her face as she watched the three women who had now become a huge part of her life.“I’m not doubting his love guys but I’m just feeling like we are drifting apart. Ever since-”“Danielle came back?” Sky raised her eyebrow.Scarlet sighed. “It’s been two months since they promised each other God knows what. I may sound jealous and honestly, I don’t care if I do but he doesn’t seem the same anymore. He always avoids me at work.”“Because you’re both busy now. You’re now in charge of four huge fashion houses under Black, Scarlet.” Sk

“What do you mean?” Easton asked, feeling like his ability to hear clearly had vanished into thin air. His body ached and he felt dizzy as he laid down on the bed. It had been a few hours since he woke up and Danielle let his family visit him before asking them to leave so they could run more tests but initially she already knew what was wrong with him.Danielle sighed, “You have a clot in your brain, Eazzy. When last did you do a full body medical check up?”“I haven’t had the time Danielle. Just like I don’t have the time to be sick in bed. Micheal is not fully recovered so I have to work until his better.” He started to push the cover off him but Danielle stood and covered him“Easton, this is very serious and I can’t let you leave. The clot has turned into a tunour and it has very serious side effects, so I have to run more tests. As for the company let someone else run it.”Easton froze, his whole being not making a single move as he looked at her like she had grown two heads.

“What? Do I now get your attention?” Dante smirked, his brown eyes full of mischief Scarlet froze. Her grip on the flowerpot tightened as Dante’s words sank in.“My real parents?” she repeated her voice barely a whisper. The anger in her eyes was quickly replaced by shock and suspicion.Dante stood, his towering frame making the kitchen feel even smaller. He dusted off his jacket, his tattooed arms flexing casually as he took a step toward her. He was a good-looking man that was a fact she couldn’t deny. But there was something about him that told her not to trust him.Was it the constant warning of Easton warning her to stay away from him that was burning in her brain?“Yeah. You heard me,” he said, his tone nonchalant like he didn’t just drop a bomb on her. “Thought you’d want to know, but maybe I was wrong.” He stood and walked towards the door. Scarlet’s heart raced, torn between the overwhelming need to protect her daughter upstairs and the temptation to hear what Dante had to

“Easton!” Daniella screamed, losing her composure in the process. She held him in her hands while his head rested on her lap as she shouted for him to wake up. But he wasn't responding and his tall frame became even heavier as his eyes rolled to the back of his head. Seeing this made Danielle look around and scream for help. “Someone get a stretcher!” Danielle shouted. Her hands moved instinctively, checking his pulse and then his breathing. Both were weak, far too weak for someone who was standing so perfectly well and talking. Nurses and other doctors rushed to the scene.Six male nurses appeared with a stretcher, and together, they carefully lifted a heavy Easton onto it. His usually flawless skin was now pale and his lips a little white like someone gave him white soil to chew on.“What happened-” One doctor attempted to ask when she cut him off. “VIP room, now!” Danielle barked. The hospital staff obeyed without hesitation, wheeling Easton into the nearest elevator. Daniell

“Mr. Black? You look shocked. Were you unaware?” The doctor asked.“Doctor. That’s not important! Can we find a donor or do I have to outsource? She may not be my blood, but she is my whole world. I can’t lose her.” Scarlet interrupted him.“I understand, I’ll check through our records for her blood type.” The doctor announced and walked away leaving them just the two of them.“I know you must be angry. But I did tell you she wasn’t yours.” Scarlet whispered.Easton didn’t even get a chance to respond when his phone vibrated. It was his long-time childhood friend who was now a doctor. “I have to take this,” he said to Scarlet as he slid right to answer.Scarlet nodded and walked back to the hospital room. “I’m shocked you picked up.” Danielle teased.“It’s good you called. I actually need you to help me with something. My daughter needs a blood transfusion.” Easton said, getting straight to the point.He didn’t expect that she would call but now that she did, he might as well call in

The drive to the hospital felt like an eternity for Scarlet as Easton drove. No matter how fast he went, it still felt like they were moving at a snail's pace. “How much more distance do we have to cover?” Scarlet asked.“Darling, you need to get to the hospital alive to see her so please let me drive at a safe speed,” Easton responded as he swerved at a corner.Scarlet felt her breathing become even more difficult as she wrung her hands feeling guilty. “I’m sorry.” She said under her breath.Easton reached over with one hand and pressed on her knee squeezing it in reassurance. Soon, he turned to the hospital where the caller had told them to go to. It was in the outskirts where Jasmine was participating in a ballet dance. He didn’t even park well when she ran out of the car and rushed to the hospital reception her heart pounding hard in her chest as fear gripped her chest like a powerful vice. “Scarlet Frost. My Daughter uhm, Jasmine Frost was admitted earlier.” Scarlet spoke in a

Easton found Scarlet sitting on a wooden bench in the small garden outside the hospital. He walked carefully, avoiding the soft rustle of leaves.“Hey,” Easton said, his voice low but shockingly warm.Scarlet looked up, startled, and then quickly averted her gaze. “Hi,” she responded, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her sleeve. She glanced at him again, searching his piercing blue eyes for any trace of anger. But his face, as always, was unreadable, leaving her unsure of his mood.She sighed, deciding to speak first. “I’m surprised to see you. I thought… you wouldn’t want to after I went behind your back again.” She paused, gauging his reaction, but he said nothing, waiting for her to continue. “If you must know, it was all Michael’s doing. I just came in with the officers after he texted me. Easton, I know how much—”Before she could finish, Easton leaned in, his hand gently cupping her cheek, and pressed his lips to hers.The kiss was soft but charged, pouring in all the emoti

“I asked you a damn question!” The room fell into an unbearable silence as Michael’s question hung in the air. Easton stepped forward, his usual composed demeanor cracking under the weight of his brother’s glare. He glared at Jade who looked like she didn't care about what she had done as long as she won Easton over not knowing this Made him dislike her even more.“Michael, listen to me—” “No!” Michael’s voice thundered, his knuckles whitening as he gripped the arms of his wheelchair. “I don’t want your excuses. I want the truth, Easton. Were you in love with her? Are you still in love with her?” “You know I don't. I grew up with her and was fond of her, but that wasn't love. Common now!” “So you're saying she's below your league but good enough for me?” Micheal raised his brow.Easton’s jaw tightened, his lips pressing into a thin line as he looked between his brother and Jade. He debated telling his brother the truth but was worried that he was too in love and wouldn’t believ

May this love find me!” “This is like a fairytale come true! Real-life romance!” Scarlet read the comments on the post with a smug look. She knew Jade wasn't a good person, and at the back of her mind, she was worried about Micheal’s choice in a wife. “What has you staring holes into the phone?” A deep voice asked. Scarlet looked up, her brows furrowing in confusion. “Damn girl, am I that easily forgettable?” Dante flashed her one of his perfect smiles. “I'm sorry… I…” Scarlet couldn't remember him because she was drunk at the club when they met. “It's okay, beautiful. You can forget me anytime.
