Trapped By The Cold-Hearted Billionaire Chapter 86 ~ Awake
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 out loud for herself or 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 entangled with was Dante’s enemy, so if they could unite through a marriage alliance, their powers and influence would be ten times more effective. It’s why Dante started search

Scarlet has always dreamed of marriage and a home. She lived a lonely life and hoped she wouldn't have to grow old alone. But standing here about to become a stranger's wife wasn't in her wildest dreams; Sadly, it was inevitable. They had come so far and she had to go through with it. Back in the dressing room, it seemed far away, like it was just a gloomy day with a bad dream. But now that the officiator had begun the ceremony, it felt more real than anything. Scarlet’s heart thudded painfully in her chest as the officiator continued, his words blurring together as the weight of the moment pressed down on her. She felt the guests’ eyes boring into her, a sea of expectant faces waiting for her to fulfill a role she didn’t want to play.The officiator turned to Dante. “Do you, Dante Modane, take Scarlet Hartwell to be your lawfully wedded wife? To love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, forsaking all

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 v

“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 pi

“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 doctor

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

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
Trapped By The Cold-Hearted Billionaire Chapter 9 ~ To love and to hold
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
