Trapped By The Cold-Hearted Billionaire Chapter 1 ~ A competition
Easton Kade Black, CEO of Black Enterprise, sat in his chair, Ocean blue eyes giving nothing away as he listened to Kai present to him the biggest plan of the quarter.“This fashion design competition, sir, will be the talk of the town for a long time. It will also gain us many followers as we stream the final day because we’ve designed it to attract a wide pool of fresh, innovative designers to work with us. The publicity we will generate will be like nothing we have seen so far.” Kai continued, pushing his round reading glasses up the bridge of his nose.Easton listened attentively, his long fingers drumming against the table. “Go on.” He urged Kai who nodded and gave Amanda a go-ahead to present her part of the plan. The rest of the employees followed keenly as they waited anxiously to see his reaction. Easton was extremely picky and he usually left his right hand, Kai, to review most of the plans and only present to him final drafts due to how busy his schedule was.But for som

“Mama, this is beautiful!” Jasmine’s eyes brightened as she looked at the dress Scarlet was holding up.“You think so?” Scarlet smiled, her heart warming at her little cheerleader. Jasmine nodded vigorously, her brown eyes widening even more, “Your clothes are always the best!”‘Hopefully, my clients love them too. We really need the money.’ Scarlet thought internally as she smiled at her daughter walking up to her and kissing her head before walking back to her sewing machine.Scarlet spent the hours that followed focused on making more and more designs so she could sell them at a cheaper price to help their financial situation. She had just placed the piece she was working on, on the table when her phone vibrated and her heart froze.Fear gripped her as she wondered if it was her Landlord again, ‘But it’s only been a day.’ She mumbled to herself as she watched the phone ring, afraid of checking the ID.“Mama? Your phone is ringing.” Jasmine pointed out.Scarlet sighed, as she lean

“How are we doing?” Easton asked Kai.Kai pulled down his tie slightly as he looked up at his boss. “Overwhelming. We have hundreds of applicants. We made sure word reached every corner of the country as you wanted, Sir.”Easton nodded, “Good. Have Amanda hand over all the designs to you, I need to take a look.” He instructed.“Yes sir,” Kai responded.And overwhelming it was indeed. Every person in the country applied. It was the talk of the city and the first thing the media talked about each morning. From talented to aspiring designers, they all wanted to work for the Black Enterprises knowing that would change their lives forever. Even cleaners and cooks earned more than an average person in Bayern so you can only imagine how much a designer would make. Seeing that everything was falling into place, Easton turned to walk towards his office. His heart couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. He was getting closer to finding her.But had she seen the advert?What if she didn’t

Easton’s car cruised through the streets, he tapped his long fingers on his thigh absentmindedly as he imagined the first thing he would say once he was face to face with Scarlet.Five years had passed since they last saw each other, but even after so long, no one had such an effect on him as she did. A painful memory he’d kept buried resurfaced.The image of her walking out on him, her cold words lingering in his mind like a wound that refused to heal. Her beautiful brown eyes which always sparkled when she looked at him looked dead.Was money her only goal from the beginning?“Easton! There’s been an accident!” Jade’s frantic voice echoed in his mind, pulling him deeper into his storm of emotions and opening the Pandora's box that held all his memories. One he held onto as a reminder of why he was going to make the two people who ruined his life pay! He clenched his jaw, resentment coursing through him. The woman he once loved had shown him how easily love could be twisted into be

"Mom, please let me come with you!” Jasmine’s small hands clung to her arm, eyes teary as she pleaded. “Sweetheart, we talked about this. It’s better if Aunt Aria stays with you today. I’ll be back soon,” Scarlet replied gently, brushing a stray curl from her daughter's forehead. Jasmine pouted making Scarlet’s heart shred into pieces. She also wanted her daughter to tag along but she couldn’t.What if she didn’t win and they were thrown out of the building? She had stayed up the previous night thinking of all possible scenarios and none of them ended with her walking out with a smile on her face.‘Then why are you going?’ An annoying voice taunted her.‘Because I’m desperate and I can’t mooch off Aria forever!’ She snapped.“Mama?” Jasmine’s melodic voice voice pulled her back. “Yes, honey.”“Are you going to wear that makeup, Mama? You look beautiful, but it has changed your face!” Jasmine pointed out, making Aria laugh so loudly that she choked on her coffee.“Mama just wanted t

Scarlet’s heart pounded hard as she fought to steady her breathing. His gaze was fixed on her, those ocean-blue eyes showing a mix of curiosity and something unreadable.Her mind raced, wondering how he’d recognized her. ' Maybe it was a guess,’ she thought as she decided to ignore him and pretend she didn’t hear him. But he only stepped closer, his tall frame towering over her,“Did you lose your hearing?” He taunted.For a brief second, she considered not responding, pretending to be someone else. But she knew Easton too well. He was the kind of man who noticed every detail, and it seemed makeup couldn’t save her either.Slowly, she dragged her eyes to meet his, biting her lip as her heart pounded hard against her chest..."Easton," she finally breathed, lifting her chin slightly, hoping her voice didn’t betray her nerves. "I didn’t expect…to see you here." “Where else would I be?” He placed his hands in his pockets.Scarlet was tempted to say, ‘Anywhere but here.’ But she remained

“Scarlet! Congratulations on winning! This calls for a celebration!” Aria said, throwing her arms around Scarlet the moment she walked through the door but Scarlet felt like her heart had been ripped out and burst into tears in her friend’s arms.Aria frowned worriedly but waited until she was composed again before taking her to the couch. The competition was being streamed live so everyone saw the winner and the new top designer of the Black Enterprise.“Are these tears of joy?” Aria asked once they had sat down.“I wish!” Scarlet sniffed as she leaned back on the couch before her eyes found Aria’s again, “Where is Jasmine?”“She was so excited when she saw you win and tried the best she could to stay awake but she just couldn’t, she’s asleep now. But don’t change the topic. Did something happen?”.Scarlet forced a smile,"Scarlet, talk to me, babe. You’re making me anxious!” Aria pushed on until Scarlet finally gave in with a heavy sigh.She took a shaky breath, struggling to find th

Scarlet’s eyes widened into saucers as she leaned closer like she didn’t hear him correctly, “You want me to pay Five million dollars? How is that even legal? This is ridiculous! No one said anything about me having to join your company Automatically.”Mr. Callahan held up his hand and spoke calmly which was even more annoying for Scarlet. “I understand this may be unexpected.”“You have no idea,” Scarlet held back the urge to roll her eyes. “However,” Mr. Callahan continued, “The company’s policies are clear, Miss Frost. If you refuse the position, you are liable for the liquidated damages. That’s why we highly recommend that you read through a document before signing it.”Scarlet's heart pounded as rushed upstairs to grab the confirmation letter and rushed back down with it. She stared at the confirmation letter in her hands and couldn't believe it; in her panic after seeing Easton, she had missed the hidden clause binding her to the company. “That bastard!” She muttered under

“Jasmine! This is not your father!” Scarlet.was horrified as she peeled her off Easton. “But I heard you that night when you were talking with Aunt Aria-” “Woah! Okay, big girl. We gotta Go!” Aria pulled her softly When they were out of earshot, Easton turned to Scarlet, “Who is the father?”Scarlet met his eyes, her expression blank but her tone colder than ice. “It’s none of your business.”Easton’s jaw clenched, his hands curling into fists at his sides. He stared at her for a long, suffocating moment, the muscles in his jaw twitching. Without another word, he turned on his heel and walked away, his footsteps echoing like thunder in the heavy silence.Scarlet watched him go, her chest tight as she exhaled a shaky breath. “What a mess,” she whispered to herself before forcing her feet to move toward the car.“Shoot me now!” Scarlet leaned her head against the headrest.“Mama?” Jasmine’s soft voice pulled her back, making her turn to face her.“Yes, baby?”“Are you mad at me?”

“Do you have a hearing problem, Chief?” Easton raised his brow in question.“Ah- Yes- No. No sir.” He chuckled in embarrassment. “It’s just that I didn’t know we had someone who is important to you in our custody. This employee must be extremely hardworking for you to come down here yourself.” The chief grinned but coughed to mask it when he saw that Easton’s face was as cold as ever.The chief gulped as he adjusted his collar, sweat forming on his forehead. “I… uh… I’ll just check the records, sir. What was the name again?”Easton’s eyes narrowed dangerously. His tone was sharp, like a blade slicing through the room. “Scarlet Frost.”The chief blinked, caught off guard. “Scarlet Frost?” he repeated, his voice rising slightly in confusion. “As in... a woman?”Easton’s jaw tightened, and his gaze darkened further. “Yes, Chief. A woman. Do you have a problem with that?”The chief swallowed hard, realizing he had stepped into a minefield. “No, sir. Absolutely not! I’ll have her released

“She's late!” Easton checked his watch for the fifth time, his jaw tightening with every passing second. Scarlet was never late. Although she was annoyingly punctual, she would complain and have a bad temper, but she was never late. Did she change her mind or did something go wrong? Easton couldn’t help but wonder. He pulled out his phone and redialed her number. It rang once, and twice, then went to voicemail. He paced back and forth. Frustration slowly started to build up.“Maybe she forgot,” Kai commented seeing his boss look like he was about to blow the room up.“She had better not.” He growled. He dialed her number again.Kai, pushed his glasses forward as he looked at the cameras. “Still no answer? Maybe the call she received was urgent.” Kai said, making Easton pause to look at him. “What call?” Kai hesitated.“Kai.”“I don't know. When I met her outside, we joked, then she received a call and rushed out.” “And you're only telling me this now because?”“I didn't thi

“Mummy!” Jasmine giggled as she rushed into Scarlet’s arms. Scarlet kneeled down with her arms open as she smiled at her little angel. “Baby, I missed you so much!” Scarlet held her tightly. The school had called her and she thought there was an issue. But all they wanted was for her to pick her daughter up like every parent because they had returned one day before the day they were scheduled to come back.“I missed you too!” Jasmine giggled as Scarlet lifted her off the ground. “Well, how about some shopping? Mummy got paid and would love to get her princess those pretty dresses she has always wanted.” Scarlet smiled with so much warmth in her heart.She was finally able to afford good things for her daughter after struggling all her life, surviving on one poorly prepared meal a day. It was a miracle that Scarlet wasn’t skinny.“Yay! I knew that competition would make our life better.!” Jasmine teased with a smug look as she jumped into the back seat.Scarlet laughed, remembering

Her gaze drifted back to the designs, each one more beautiful than the last. The room felt sacred, a tribute to a woman she didn’t know but suddenly felt deeply connected to. But as she stepped into the room further, she noticed a pattern she had seen before but couldn’t remember where. “Easton… I don’t know what to say. This… this is beyond words.”“You don’t have to say anything,” he said, his voice quieter now. “You’re the first person I’ve shown this to. I thought… maybe you’d get inspired. I know how much pressure I’ve put you through by throwing this show in your hands..”Her heart softened at his admission, melting the icy wall she’d built around herself after everything they had been through. For a moment, she forgot the tension between them, the arguments, and the pain of their past. She saw a side of him she hadn’t seen in years—one that reminded her of the man she once knew.The man she was hopelessly in love with.Scarlet shook her head, her voice full of emotion. “I don’

“I don’t think being here is a good thing after what just happened.” Scarlet pointed out as she stood in front of Easton.“After what happened?” He asked like he wasn’t present when the chaos was unfolding. Scarlet was about to respond when he cut her off. “Don’t tell me you were offended.” He smirked, “What we had wasn’t a relationship. So I wouldn’t exactly call you my ex.” “What?”“You seem to have a hearing problem lately. Remind Kai to connect you to our doctor. Now come, " he said as he began walking towards the door, but Scarlet remained glued to where she was standing.“Haha. Very funny. You should consider being a part-time comedian. Your jokes are getting better by the day.” Scarlet rolled her eyes.Easton paused. Turning to face her, “Let’s go. Or do you want me to take you on my shoulder?”“You wouldn’t fucking dare.” Scarlet stepped back.“What a foul mouth for a lady,” Easton said, his brows meeting.“What? You can curse and I can’t?” Scarlet raised an eyebrow, “I mean

“Miss Frost is not my ex. I have taste Sky, don't insult me.” Easton said in a cold voice making everyone choke.“Then how do you explain what Jade just said?” Sky fumed. Everyone was quiet and holding their breaths as they watched the scene unfold. Easton placed his hands in his pockets, looking as unbothered as ever, “Jade is delusional from the pain of seeing Micheal remain in that state for five years, so when she heard that I put Scarlet in charge, she assumed she was my ex. Which is ridiculous, not that it's any of your business. ” Easton explained coolly turning to face a pale Jade who knew she had fucked up. “He’s lying! She is the gold-digging slut from five years ago.” Jade fumed. “Kai, take care of this. Miss Frost proceed as earlier discussed,” Easton said and walked away. The security detail walked in to escort Jade out. Her face was red in anger as she walked out. “This isn't over!” she spat, walking away. Scarlet stood frozen on the spot. She should have felt r

Jade stormed into Easton’s office like a hurricane, her heels clicking sharply against the pristine floor. Her fury radiated off her in waves, and the tension in the room thickened as Easton glanced up from his desk, his face cold and impassive.He watched as she stomped in, without bothering to knock, and crossed her arms on her chest. “Easton, how could you?” Jade seethed, her breath laboring. She knew how much he loved his mother. If the show turned out to be successful, Scarlet would have the world on her side. “You gave her the lead? After everything that’s happened? After what she’s done?”Easton leaned back in his chair, exuding a calm that only seemed to infuriate her further. “It's funny how you delude yourself into thinking you have a say in this company or decisions I make,” he replied, his voice a cutting edge of ice. "It must be painful living in delusion all the time.”What?” Jade’s voice cracked as her anger boiled over. “This is about more than just business, Easto
