Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 34 - So what exactly are we?
Casper knew that Grandpa had pride. Calling him broke was his way of making the old man regret taking the money and to return it. He also expected Grandpa to invite him to his villa for speaking to him in such a manner but when Grandpa didn’t do as expected, his suspicions grew. As for the offense committed, he had to handle it tactically, since Grandpa’s job wasn't completed until Casper was married. He could still use that to meddle in his life and just as expected, he did."Have you lost your manners because of power? Don't forget that I still have the right to interfere in your life for as long as you aren't married. You haven't made a move to acquaint yourself with the Wreaths, have you?" Grandpa hid his embarrassment and the fury boiling inside of him, while he straightened himself and walked towards the balcony. Caesar was upset. He knew it was Casper again. He was the only trouble his father had and if he had his way, he would take him out of the way.Casper clutched the phone
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 35 - Casper meets Anna
What exactly were they? Casper hadn't thought about it. He only knew that he would never let her go but never thought of a title to give her. He only asked her to be his friend so she wouldn't be afraid of him. But she was always more than that. He didn't know how deep his feelings were for her so her question baffled him yet, he couldn't lie to her. "I haven't thought about that part." There were complicated emotions in his gentle voice but Jenna couldn't help being disheartened with his words. "I guess it's complicated." There was remorse in her tone as she lowered her head to avoid his intricate gaze.Casper pulled her to him and lifted her chin to meet his dark gaze. "No." He paused and stared at her. He felt an aching heart when he saw the sadness in her eyes. He wanted her to be happy but that happiness should only come from him. He didn't care that he was being selfish. For as long as he had her, then everyone should be happy. He didn't hide the conflicting emotions in his to

“Jenna, why are you so busy, it's time for lunch.” Peggy had finished admiring Jenna's office and finally said. Jenna lifted her head, rubbing her temple tiredly. She really needed a break. “Casper said he'll take me out for lunch later.” Peggy's eyes narrowed at the remembrance of the rumours. She had even realized that Jenna, as a manager, was on the same floor as the CEO. No matter how she tried, she was tempted to believe that something wasn't right. “Are you talking about Mr Blade? Why do you address him so casually?” Peggy asked with an air of novelty.Jenna forced a smile. She couldn't tell Peggy everything like Kate since they hadn't been in touch for long. It was better to be cautious than to cry later in regret. “We were friends before I started working here,” she pressed her lips and said.She wasn't lying even though it wasn't the main reason. She met Casper before she knew he was her boss so she was still telling the truth. Peggy nodded her head thoughtfully.“No wonder

"Why did you purchase a new set of contraceptives?" Kate had dropped off Peggy and together with Jenna, they had just gotten to the living room when Kate saw the items and asked. She didn’t understand the reason why Jenna would still buy more when there was still some in the medicine cabinet."Do you think I don't know that Cathan sneaks in here? How can I be sure that you still have some left?" Kate crimsoned slightly at being caught. Cathan hardly shows up during the day but at night, he was sure to come. Kate thought that Jenna didn’t know but now, she proved otherwise. But the content of Jenna’s purchase was still too much, which made Kate curious."But you bought a lot. Does it mean?" Jenna’s cheeks were heating up at Kate’s teasing so she shifted her attention back to the purchase in her hand. "It means nothing. I'm just taking precautions." Kate’s brows knitted with worry. "You know he's not yours but you want to enjoy the little time you have with him?" "Is that wrong?" Jenn
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 38 - Tell me everything
Drake's shoulders hunched in anxiety, as he awaited her response. "I am not in the position to tell you the reason, I'm sorry." His countenance fell, as his fears began to surge through him. However, he had to feign some confidence to get the answers he craved. He straightened up, his voice laced with confidence. "But you can't do that. As a citizen, I have the right to know." The person at the receiving end didn't sound shaken. She seemed to know what she was saying. "The reason will be made known to you but not by me. I might as well inform you that the same rule applies to all ticketing offices." Drake could feel a blanket of hot waves covering him at the moment, he began to sweat profusely. "Wait, you...." The beeping sound was a clear indication that the person on the other side had hung up the phone. Drake ruffled his hair and went to wake Eve. They were in this together and as much as he now hated her, he needed her help. "You can't be sleeping. Wake up," he tapped Eve on
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 39 - Anna Strikes
At Drake’s apartment, he was oblivious to what had happened to Jenna, seemingly worried. The line disconnected by itself. Does it mean she was angry? Was she going to plead with Casper?Just as he was about to dial Jenna’s number again, he heard the sound of keys turning in the keyhole and hid the phone. When the door flung open, a woman wearing a black pair of skinny trousers, a black top, and a black jacket with her hair held in a ponytail walked in.Seeing how young she looked, Drake laughed internally. It won’t be difficult for him to escape. Somehow, he wondered why Casper would send such a feeble woman. After all, she didn’t look tough.The woman didn’t utter a word and walked directly to Eve with a bottle of cold water in her hand, pouring it on the sleeping woman. Eve woke up shivering from the cold. “Drake, what’s going on, who is she?” She asked when her eyes met the familiar figure before what happened an hour ago came flooding in. Drake turned his attention toward the woma
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 40 - Her name is Donna Wreath
Grandpa seemed to be in a good mood in contrast to Casper. He delivered the news as if it was a business deal worth billions of dollars. "The Wreaths have made a move. They want to see their son-in-law-to-be and become acquaintances." Casper felt a sharp pain, close to that of a terrible headache at what grandpa had said. He always assured himself that he had enough time but the Wreaths seemed to be in a hurry. He closed his eyes in frustration and opened it. An unfamiliar air of superiority circulated the dimly lit office when he looked at the sleeping figure on the sofa. He wouldn’t do anything to harm her."Why should they be the ones to make the move? They are paid by the Blades so they should lie low till we give the go-ahead,” Casper said insipidly.Over time, tradition never forbade the Wreaths from making the first move but Casper was using his authority to suppress the meeting between both parties. If Jenna found out that preparations were being made toward his marriage, he
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 41 - Caleb messes with Hunter again
“Yes, it’s all in here.” Hunter handed over a big envelope to Casper as soon as they entered his office together. His voice was hoarse from fatigue, as he suppressed the urge to give in to a nudging yawn. There were dark circles under his eyes and he looked slightly disheveled in his jeans and t-shirt. Since he was a shadow bodyguard, he didn’t dress in a suit like the others. Before Casper opened the document, his desktop phone rang. He beckoned Hunter to sit while he answered it.“Mr Blade, Grandpa’s seventieth Birthday is in a month. Should I announce a grand event?” The HR manager asked politely. It used to be an annual event but since Grandpa had retired, Casper needed to give her affirmation. Casper wasn’t completely heartless. Paving the way for the great was a way of paving the way for his own greatness. After all, it was also the opportunity for more business collaborations because grandpa was connected. Casper was now building his network while acquainting himself with the

Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 98 - Pregnant again.
Rex was eager to watch what was on the Pendrive because he wanted to know how grandpa died. Casper wasn’t ready to give any verbal explanation since he was anxious to go home and rest. He still had a lot to do so the earlier his body recovered, the better. The delay of the seniors while they contemplated on how to watch whatever was saved on the Pendrive annoyed him greatly, his countenance turned cold. He was about to speak when Rex noticed the change in his aura, quickly asking,“Can we go somewhere to talk about the amendment?”“No, my body needs rest.” His wounds were still fresh and though he felt minimal pain, he knew that stress would still affect the healing process. “Of course, you are still recovering. Let’s speak in my car then,” Rex suggested. Casper agreed.“Okay.” Then he turned to Jenna.“Please wait for me in the car.”Jenna didn’t argue and went to wait for him, while Casper entered Rex’s car, making himself comfortable in the passenger seat. Rex sat in the driver sea
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 97 - Grandpa died from his own poison
The next morning, Casper woke up to the delicious aroma of French toast, bacon, scrambled eggs, caramelised Bananas and a glass of warm milk. “Breakfast in bed,” Jenna was as bright as the morning sun and her smile was dazzling, melting the coldness of his heart. He smiled warmly.Jenna was amazed because this smile was a full blown one she had never seen before. She went ahead to ask him, since Casper kept admiring her and hadn’t spoken. “Good morning and how do you feel?” “This is the best day of my life,” Casper admitted, while he continued to stare with heavy emotions, into her grey eyes. Jenna let out a shy smile and said, “wrong, you might feel good but our best days are yet to come.” She was planning ways of making him the happiest man on earth. She picked the cutlery, pressing the fork to the egg and cutting through with the table knife. She lifted a piece of scrambled egg to Casper’s thin lips that parted to receive it. “Here, I’ll feed and give you your medication.”Casper
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 96 - I love you with my life, Casp.
Soon, Hunter arrived with a doctor. He wasn’t a Blade Doctor because grandpa had sent his bodyguards to kidnap the Blade doctors living close by. His whole motive was directed at Casper not being able to survive the whole ordeal. The two love birds broke from the kiss at the intrusion. Jenna was slightly flustered at Hunter’s complicated gaze, which was contrary to his smile.“Jenna, you are here.”“Is it a compliment or reprimand?” Jenna smiled shyly and asked. She was the only woman around so it felt weird and the environment was new to her.“I’m just surprised to see you,” Hunter pursed his lips and said. He wanted to erase any suspicions that he had been spying on her.The doctor was about to attend to Casper when Hunter went to lock the door. Jenna, the doctor and Casper were all surprised but faintly understood when Cathan and Caleb drew closer, peeling off the fallen and lacerated skin from Casper like a Plaster.Casper winced but was most surprised when the fake skin was dump

As the days went by, Casper took a leave of absence from the office, and spent time with his son. They would play basketball together, visit the park, practice their fighting skills and even eat ice cream. However, he made sure to have dinner together with his son and Jenna, no matter how tired they were. As the subsequent days passed, Jenna only saw less of Casper because he never slept in his room. He would sneak into his son's room, sit on the small sofa and watch him sleep for hours till he dozed off. He would also ensure to sneak out before his son woke up. On the third day, Jenna was tired of it because she felt that Casper was avoiding her since she kept asking about what was decided on by the seniors. Casper was about to meet Caddaric in the gym when Jenna blocked his way. "Casp, what happened with the seniors?"Casper paused for a while, his eyes darkened slightly. "Nothing I can't handle. Rex will be coming for Caddaric in two days. There's a lot he has to learn,” Casper a

Casper saw his guests off. When he was about to return to his room, Hunter approached him. “I sent Denzel to Caleb.”Casper Could only assume that Hunter thought the Blade seniors were coming for his son, thereby letting Caleb come for him. However, there was one thing he didn't like. He spoke coldly. “His name is Caddaric Blade. Get him back.”“Okay,” Hunter said and turned to go back to the bodyguard's lounge, where he would put a call through to Caleb, when Casper asked behind him.“Can I ask you a question?” His tone was slightly softer than before.“Anything,” Hunter turned around and faced him.“Do you think that she loves me?” Casper asked hopefully. Hunter had a better experience with women. His advice also brought Jenna back. Whichever way, Hunter knew better than not to raise Casper’s hope or break it. Their relationship was the most complicated he had ever seen.“There is a way to find out but that would be after this ordeal is over.” Hunter wasn't going to respond with word

Grandpa was displeased. Casper killed his son because of that girl and now, he wanted them to be married? Over his dead body would that happen. As soon as he heard the news, he sat in his jet after keeping his wife in a safe place, arriving just in time for the meeting to commence. This time around, he was going to break them apart with death. Not killing Jenna because that would only allow Casper to get revenge for her. He would kill Casper and take back everything. Grandpa was back to get revenge. He looked a little thinner and his long gray hair had been trimmed together with his beard. He wore a casual all-white shirt and trou
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 92 - I still love you
Casper was jumbled. Since when did Jenna become obsessed with him? He was granting her wish and yet, she won't leave. Whichever way, he was done with her. “Yes, you are. Unless you want me to call the guards.”Jenna was startled by his seriousness but then, what did she have to lose? She would just provoke him if begging wouldn't work. Afterall, Casper would never hurt her. He owed her his life. “You’ll call the guards on me?” She smirked and asked.Casper was baffled by the quick change in her conduct but responded curtly, “yes.”“Alright,” she nodded her head.Casper was surprised when she walked around his bed and pulled open the drawer. Indeed, he had changed the bed last year but still had drawers made at the side. “What are you doing?” He asked in irritation. She didn't respond and brought out a gun. She took her time and began loading it with bullets. Casper felt a strange fear in his heart, that wiped the anger he felt before.“Put that down,” he strutted towards her and tri

On his way home, Casper received multiple calls from the Blade seniors and the Wreaths but didn't answer any of them. He couldn't face them until he made a decision since his guts told him that Jenna wasn't who he thought she was.Denzel kept asking questions till they arrived at the manor. Casper went to his room with Denzel while Hunter waited with the bodyguards in their lounge. As soon as Denzel saw Jenna, disappointment flashed in his eyes.“You stayed with Mr Blade and left me. Dad isn't answering my calls either.” He felt neglected ever since they got to Manhattan. The guilt-stricken Jenna walked to the boy and cupped his cheeks in her palms but he moved away. He hated that and she knew it but couldn't hold back because he was too cute.“Don't do that. What are you doing here? Does dad know that you are with another man?” Denzel asked and Jenna glanced at Casper, instantly lowering her gaze. He had taken off his sunglasses and his eyes burned like fire, it was scary. Jenna’s hea
