Trapped By The Cold-Hearted Billionaire Chapter 81 ~ A piece of her mind
“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.” Sky

“No, I just need to go back to work,” Danielle responded as she gave Sky a small smile which she didn’t return.“Then-” Before Easton could speak, Scarlet was standing before him,“Hey, can you spare a minute?” She asked, keeping her hands in her pocket as her heart pounded hard in her chest. It was like they were back to their first encounter where she was walking on eggshells. This is the man who couldn’t keep his hands off her even when he hated her so what changed so much that he was avoiding her like a damn plague?“I’m sorry, I have to go.” He responded, about to turn when Scarlet held his hand.“Then, I’ll just say what needs to be said right here. Is that what you want?” She crossed her arms.“We can speak outside,” Easton responded and turned to walk out.“Don’t you dare follow them!” Sky leaned in and whispered to Danielle.“You don’t understand, Sky. He-”“I don’t give two shits what you’re working on. Stay away from him out of office.” Sky responded, “And to think I stood

“This is it. Are you ready?” “Is anyone ever ready for this?” Scarlet asked as she took a deep breath.Dante chuckled but nodded as he stepped out. “You’re right.” He walked around to the side of her door and hed it open. Scarlet stepped out and stood before what looked ike a castle rather than a house.“This is my parents' house?” She gasped.“Yep. Now come, I’m sure they’re anxious to meet their long-lost princess.” Scarlet nodded as she followed him inside. Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest as she walked forward. Near the fountain, about seven women were dressed in the same green dresses with a stripe of white. “Welcome back home, Miss Hartwell.” They all said in unison with a bow which took Scarlet aback for a moment until it dawned on her that Hartwell could be her real surname.“I ..uhm.. Thank you.” She held on tighter to her bag as Dante held her by the waist taking her inside. “Come on, they are some people dying to meet you.” He whispered, but the closeness mad

“Grab all the medications he once received. I want them tested in the lab.” Kai instructed the workers.“What do you think you’re doing?” Danielle asked, looking around the way they had turned Easton’s bedroom upside down in search of what she didn’t know about.“The best person to ask is the one behind you.” Kai responded and continued what he was doing.Danielle turned, but before she could speak a word, a slap landed on her cheek, followed by the puling of her hair.“Sky!” She cried, “Why are you-”“We know what you did. How you faked the diagnosis and every little shitty thing you did. Pray that no permanent damage has been done to my brother because I will cut you from limb to limb.”“Let her go, Sky.” Micheal demanded. “For now I will!.” She pushed her hard, sending her body against the wall, breaking her shoulder in the process. Danielle held onto it as she cried in pain.“Why are you doing this?” Tears rolled down her face.Micheal threw a number of documents in her face. His

Three weeks later…Kai adjusted his glasses, deep in thought, as Michael paced the room. Sky sat with her arms crossed, visibly agitated."Michael, we can’t just sit back while Scarlet gets tangled up with Dante. It's been three weeks, and i've been dying to tell her about Easton. Maybe that will change her mind.” Sky argued, her voice laced with frustration. "If you’re not going to stop the wedding, I will.""Sky," Michael said firmly, halting his pacing to face her. "Interfering without solid evidence will only make things worse. We need to be smart about this. Do you want to help Easton? Then, stay focused. Using his state as a weapon is manipulation, and I won't stand for that.”Before Sky could retort, Alex returned with a grim expression and a thick folder in hand."Sir," Alex began, handing the file to Michael. "You were right to suspect Dante. His background is as dirty as they come. Illegal arms deals, money laundering, and a string of disappearances linked to his name. But on

A week earlier...Easton groaned as he opened his eyes, the sterile white of the hospital room coming into focus. His head throbbed, and his body felt like it had been hit by a freight train. He struggled to sit up, but a firm hand on his shoulder stopped him.“Take it easy,” Michael’s voice was leveled, but you could hear how relieved he was that his brother was now awake. Micheal, Sky, and Henry all stayed in the hospital without leaving, waiting for Easton to wake up. “You’re lucky to be alive, Easton. You need to rest.”Easton ignored the advice, his mind racing. “Scarlet...” he rasped, his voice hoarse. “Where is she? Is she okay?”Michael’s expression tightened, a flicker of hesitation crossing his face. “She’s fine, Easton. Physically, at least. But... a lot has happened.”The tension in Michael’s voice made Easton’s stomach churn. “What do you mean? What happened? Fuck! My head is spinning. How long have I been out?” He reached upwards and touched the band aid that had bee

Scarlet’s feet felt rooted to the spot, her pulse hammering against her ribcage as Easton took a measured step toward her. The air seemed to shift, crackling with unspoken emotion and unresolved tension.“What… what are you doing here?” she managed, her voice trembling despite her attempt to sound composed. Even though she couldn’t admit it, she had missed him and it hurt to look at him without being able to touch him. Easton stopped a few feet away, his piercing gaze locked onto hers. “I could ask you the same thing, Scarlet. But I think we both know the answer.”Her chest tightened at his words, the memories of their shared past crashing over her like waves.I hate you Scarlet, Youre nothing more than a mistake…Did you realy think this thing between us would last?Think of it as payment for the sexThe cold words hit her like a cold stab in the heart as the words played over and over again. Tears welled, her old wounds re opening like someone had ripped her bandaids open and in a

“You really don’t have to do this, I feel so terrible for doing this to you, my dear.” Matilda said, holding out the crown to hold her veil in place. She sat next to Scarlet on the bed, both facing the mirror standing in front of them. “We didn’t search high and low just for you to end up in a loveless marriage, Scarlet.” “It’s okay.” Scarlet forced a smile. “There was no one before Dante anyway, so loving him will be easier, right?” She lied, but she didn’t know if she was saying that outloud for herself or for her mother.The line of who she was trying to convince had blurred. She felt like her parents were good people, and although they abandoned her, she understood why they had no other choice but to do it. They had made some bad financial decisions and had to make up for them. The crime family they ended up entagled with was Dante’s enemy, so if they could unite through marriage alliance, their powers and influence would be ten times more effective. It’s why Dante started sear

Scarlet hurried alongside Easton, gripping his hand as they made their way from the parking lot to the auditorium. Her breath came in shallow gasps from their quick pace, and she tugged lightly at his arm. “Easton, slow down,” she said, laughing between breaths. “We’re not late yet.” He glanced at her, his lips curving into a faint smirk. “You’re the one who said you didn’t want to miss anything.” Scarlet rolled her eyes, though her smile lingered as they slowed their steps. She smoothed down her sundress, the soft fabric swishing lightly against her legs as they neared the building. She felt her nerves increase because it had been so long since she was here and it made her heart ache.“I’m such a terrible mother.” She whispered making Easton turn to face her, “Darling, you’re the best mother in the world, and believe me when I say that because I had a wonderful mother. You’ve been through so much shit, so don’t dwell on those feelings. Focus on how much Jas and I love you.” “

Six months later….Scarlet stood before the mirror, adjusting the delicate silver earrings that complimented her beautiful sundress. The soft red fabric hugged her waist perfectly like a corset and slid down her waist until slightly below the knees. For the first time in months, she felt alive—hopeful even. For five months, Scarlet underwent physiotherapy to help her regain her normal self and walk again. The doctors were amazed by her quick recovery, and by the sixth month, she was back to her old self—healthy and able to do everything she used to do. “I’m so excited. It has been so long since I saw my precious angel dancing,” she exclaimed to Easton, who stood behind her watching her retouch her lipstick with his arms crossed on his chest. “You look beautiful,” he said, stepping closer to press a kiss to her temple. “Jasmine’s going to be so happy to see you there.”“I feel like she loves her father more and forgets about me sometimes.” Scarlet teased as Easton slowly trailed

"You look like shit," Scarlet teased weakly, her voice still hoarse but carrying a playful glint. The doctors had checked her and ran through tests. They called her recovery a complete miracle because despite the pain. She could feel it when they touched her feet and She could move her finger although she couldn't sit or walk yet. Easton chuckled, running a hand through his disheveled hair. "Bullshit. I always look hot." Scarlet's lips twitched upward in the faintest of smiles. "If by hot you mean utterly exhausted and in desperate need of a shower, then sure." "Watch it, Darling," Easton quipped, leaning in closer, his grin softening into something more vulnerable. "I’ve been through hell these past few days. You scared the crap out of me, you know that?" Her smile faltered, replaced by a look of quiet guilt. She opened her mouth to speak, but Easton cut her off gently. "Hey, don’t. None of this is your fault." His thumb brushed over her knuckles, grounding both of them.

...as if the words themselves were choking him. "She’s gone. She has to be alive, Michael. She just has to be." Michael’s jaw tightened, his own emotions threatening to surface as he held his broken brother. "She’s a fighter, Easton. You said it yourself. Now let the doctors do what they can." Time seemed to slow to an agonizing crawl. The muffled voices of the medical team could be heard but it was sounding so far away. "Increase to 300!" "Clear!" "Still no pulse. Again!" Every word was a dagger to Easton’s chest. He sank to the floor, his knees giving out completely, and Michael crouched beside him, one arm still firmly around his shoulders. Minutes felt like hours until the door finally opened. The doctor emerged, his expression unreadable but serious. Easton shot to his feet, his hands trembling as he grabbed the doctor’s arm. "Is she—did you—" He couldn’t finish the sentence. The doctor sighed, exhaustion evident in his face. "We managed to stabilize her. She’s

Aria was about to argue with him but knew he wasn't in his right mind so it was no use arguing with him. “Fine. I'll be back later tonight.”Easton nodded at that. More days passed and Scarlet remained unresponsive. They left meals outside the door, most of which went untouched. Kai brought him clean clothes, but Easton barely acknowledged him. The room became his world, the beeping of the machines a cruel reminder of the fragile thread holding her to him. Every night was the same. He sat by her side, whispering things only she could hear, his voice breaking at times. Promises. Apologies. Desperate prayers. Tears. Pleas. And every morning, he woke in the chair, stiff and aching, only to start the cycle again. Days blurred into weeks, but Easton didn’t care. Until she woke up, this was where he belonged. This was where he would stay. ……. Easton stirred awake in the chair, his neck stiff and his body aching from another sleepless night. He stretched his sore limbs, his

“What do you mean by that?” Sky stepped forward her heart pounding hard in her chest. She looked at her brothers whose focus was on the doctor and panicked. She feared what he would say would ruin her brother's life forever. “Good news.” Easton’s Voice echoed through the Vip hall. The doctor nodded. Removing his mask as he faced the people standing before him.“She’s alive,” the doctor began, his tone light and calm. “That’s the good news.” He paused, eyes scanning Easton’s face, searching for a reaction. “But she’s unresponsive. The machines are keeping her breathing. The bullet grazed her spine and caused significant damage. We’ve done everything we can... but it will take a miracle for her to wake up. And if she does...” He hesitated, the weight of the words heavy in the air. “The chances of her walking again are slim to none.” Easton’s face remained unreadable, but the storm in his eyes spoke volumes.“Can I see her?” He asked. “Well, yes but-” He ignored whatever the docto
Trapped By The Cold-Hearted Billionaire Chapter 91 ~ A bullet for you
“No!” Easton's voice cried in pain as the bullet that was meant for him hit Scarlet. The moment Scarlet walked towards Easton, Dante lost it and wanted to risk it all. Kill the one person he couldn't defeat and kill himself too. But to his shock, Scarlet ran forward and took the bullet for him. "Get down!" Voices of chaos echoed in the church as people began to scream and panic not knowing where to go. Easton blinked, hoping he had just imagined it but unfortunately for him, it was real. “Baby, please, please.” He pleaded as she wobbled into his arms. “Scarlet!” Matilda screamed as she rushed over.Dante still had a shocked expression as he watched Scarlet slide down in Easton's arms. He never wanted to hurt her. She was his key after all. "Drop the gun or we shoot!" One man shouted over the noise.Dante remained unmoving with the gun in his hand. Another one of Easton's men rushed forward and grabbed the gun from his hand. But he didn't get a chance to react because men were p

The church fell silent, and everyone remained glued to their seats. No one dared to move, and everyone held their breaths. Scarlet’s heart raced, her palms sweaty as she stared at him, standing there like he owned the world even in a hospital gown.Her mind went wild, and she couldn't for the life of her understand what came over him. Her father was now standing, looking at Scarlet waiting to hear from her. “Security !” Dante growled. But no one dared to move. No one would dare lay a finger on Easton black. They remained stationed, and this angered Dante even more. Easton smirked as he walked forward. “Scarlet, Darling. ” Easton began, his voice soft and pleading, “I know I’ve messed up before. I know I’ve hurt you in ways I’ll never forgive myself for. But I can’t let you go through with this. Not when I love you.”Gasps rippled through the crowd, followed by a hushed buzz of murmurs. Dante’s lips twisted into a sardonic smile, his composure beginning to crack.“Love?” Dante’s
