Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 48 - Hunter's secret, Caleb's trouble
"What happened? Caleb asked Cathan after he hung up. Cathan was as murky as a cloud of rain, making Caleb disturbed."He doesn't seem to need our services. From the looks of it, we will soon be jobless," Cathan voiced with a grim expression. The three of them used to be inseparable but it seemed that things had changed a lot since Jenna came into the picture. Casper spends every free time he gets with her. "That's Impossible. Our job is always secure." Caleb didn't know what was going on in Cathan's mind and responded with his understanding but when Cathan clarified, he was struck with a realization. "Well, we might be moved to guard somebody else if Casper continues to ignore us." There were other Blade seniors they could be transferred to but of course, Casper would still be assigned bodyguards whether he liked them or not. Caleb didn't agree totally and was about to respond when Hunter interrupted them. "Let's get this mess cleared guys, stop talking like women." He was a man of
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 49 - Armando is on the run.
Caleb had to think fast. He knew nothing about love and relationships. If he told Hunter that he lied, the raging man would fight him until somebody died, which would be another problem because if he killed Hunter, he would be in trouble with Casper and was certain that Hunter wouldn't match up to his level in a fight. Hunter was intelligent and strong but there is always somebody stronger than the other.“Thanks for giving me the chance. I’ll pursue her and make her fall in love with me.” Caleb was careful enough to not mention that he was in love with her this time. That way, he would have a means of escape. Thus, If Peggy didn't fall in love with him, then he was free. That was Caleb’s plan. But what if she fell in love with him? Judging from how the girl was crazy about Hunter, it was impossible. Hunter was satisfied that Caleb kept his word.“Good, and remember, I have never shared with anyone what I just shared with you.” There was a stern warning in his tone. He just gave his p
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 50 - Do you have proof?
Casper changed his mind. He ordered some food and headed to the car park with the other bodyguards instead of cooking as planned. Hunter had alerted Cathan, the latter joining them too. It took a while for Armando to get to the underground car park since he was using the stairs and being with Amber, he was delayed. What he didn't expect was seeing the devil himself, waiting for him beside his car. He froze. The pale, yet terrifying look on his face was all Casper needed for satisfaction. Armando recalled what Casper did with his brother. Cupping on that, he was tight-lipped but Casper loosened the air around them."Mr Ciro, we meet again." This time, Casper was the one who addressed him with his usual style of greeting. The irony of the situation got Armando confused. ‘Casper looks calm and calculated, it’s as if he doesn’t know. I'm I just imagining things?" Armando's bodyguards wanted to pull out guns but Armando stopped them. It would just be useless since Casper could even catch
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 51 - Mattia looks for trouble
Jenna took Angelo’s silence as a confirmation that he didn't have proof which gave her the needed satisfaction. It wasn’t that she believed Casper didn’t have a hand in it but it felt strange. If Casper indeed had a hand in it, then she would understand that the guy was too smart to mess with but at the moment, she couldn’t sit and watch the guns pointing at him without proof, when she had been with him since they arrived in Rome. Even when she slept and woke up, he was right there. No way, it wasn’t him.Nobody spoke anymore until meals were served. Casper only spoke with the Grandfathers while he sipped his wine, his food untouched. The hall had turned a little lively and people were relaxed.Mattia excused himself and went to speak with a waiter. He wasn’t so interested in what was being discussed because he was enjoying his grandfathers' honor. From how Jenna’s question silenced Angelo, he foresaw that she wouldn’t be an easy target. Unlike the other girls, a greater part of Jenna’
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 52 - Mattia's lucky day
Their short time in Rome was making her get to know Casper better. He was dangerous but also smart, intelligent and a skillful fighter. There was always a reason behind his actions so Jenna foresaw that he knew something she didn't. Casper didn't want her to be frightened but he also had to tell her the truth. Everyone in this gathering had ulterior motives. "I didn't know." Jenna was confused, having a gut feeling that Casper might be lying to her. "You didn't know? Then how…?" Casper was upset about the two men he just caught. So if he hadn't followed his instinct to lead him, then what would have happened? The imagination of it made his heart tighten painfully in his chest. His tone sounded bitter, coated with a desire for vengeance. "My instinct told me that something was off with Mattia and that special drink." Jenna frowned, perplexed. She only took interest in that drink because she hadn't seen it before, curiously trying to have a taste of it. "Special drink? Wasn't all dr
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 53 - Girls talk
Hunter stayed at the door, giving the girls some form of privacy, or so he made them think. He was secretly recording their conversation because of how worried he was of Peggy. Inside the presidential suite, Kate had gotten the perfect opportunity to question Jenna about her suspicions. “Jenna, you've been avoiding us,” she accused her.Jenna shook her head. She didn’t know how to explain. “No, Casper doesn't let me out of his sight. It's like he's scared I'll go missing or something.”“That's good. I heard that you almost got kidnapped by one of the dons,” Kate carelessly revealed while making herself comfortable on the sofa beside Jenna. Peggy was already seated at Jenna’s left side.Jenna froze slightly, her mind combing for answers, as she began to piece everything together. The confusion on her face spoke volumes. “So that's what those guys wanted with me. What did I do to them?”Kate realized that Jenna didn’t know and began to curse herself internally. She felt like the gossip
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 54 - the fall of Mattia
Jenna was amazed at Casper’s psychological tactics. He wouldn't deny nor accept it, rather allowing her to form her own opinion of him, which was even more profound. Thinking carefully and in order not to sound accusing. She glared at him while she spoke, searching for something to stand on.“Rumours said that you went to the car park with Cathan. When I confirmed the time, it was around the same period I was asleep, which was the reason why I didn't know,” she responded tacitly, giving him no room to deny it.Casper wasn't upset with her accusation, her smart thinking was even more admirable. His practiced smile was flawless this time and he looked even more attractive, Jenna found herself falling for him again. “Great analysis but the point is, I only asked someone to tamper with his brake. Faced with danger, he could have jumped out of the car after realizing his brakes had been tampered with but chose to die. In that case, the decision was his.” He didn’t add the part where he as
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 55 - Surviving the attack
What terrified people wasn’t about Casper shooting Mattia but how skillful it was done. Mattia laid lifelessly on the floor in a pool of blood. Due to the blood oozing out of his orb, it was as if his eyes were plucked out. Another part of his body that drew attention was his manhood. The three shots were well planned and calculated. Two to his eyes and one to his balls. Even if he survived, he would just become an air head. Thinking through it, Casper was learning quite a few things from Jenna. For instance, he could have driven a bullet through Mattia’s head and killed him on the spot but what would he stand to gain? Leaving him in such a vegetable state would make him a scapegoat to all. Just like Drake and Eve going to prison, their lives would never be the same even after they served their term, which was worse than death.Casper never left Jenna but only hid from the open when Angelo approached him. He spoke and discharged the man while watching Mattia’s every move. As soon as

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

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
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 91 - I’m not going.
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
