The auditorium glistened with excitement, no one could foresee the tension going on. “Let’s go to him,” Caleb told Cathan. Cathan was a bit edgy at the moment. If they went to greet the old man with the girls, he would ask so many questions that might expose their relationship.

“No, let’s get the women settled first,” Cathan disagreed and suggested. Caleb looked around. The extremely large auditorium was already filled. Most people came earlier than expected.

“Hunter is there,” he pointed out at the table where Hunter sat alone. It could take six people which meant he had reserved the seats for them.

“Good, let’s go there,” Peggy chipped in when her eyes met Hunters'. She instantly went around, hugged, and planted a long loving kiss on his cheek, leaving a rosy lipstick mark. Caleb suddenly felt uncomfortable with the sight and said,

“I’ll greet grandpa first.”

“We’ll go together.” Cathan wanted to give Kate a kiss but with the piercing gaze on them, he swallowed the urge and walked t

    The auditorium fell into a dead silence, as grandpa glanced at Jenna’s direction, one corner of his lips lifting into a taunting smile. Not only Jenna but the whole squad caught it.“Is he targeting you? Was Casper aware?” Peggy asked with innocent dove eyes. She didn’t know the details of Jenna’s relationship with Casper but from what she saw in Rome, it was more than friendship.“Does Casper look like someone who can be easily manipulated? Of Course he’s aware,” Kate said, adding salt to Jenna’s already injured heart. The day she dreaded arrived earlier than she anticipated. Kate knew it would hurt Jenna but also felt that that was the truth.“Casper didn’t know.” Hunter said to Casper’s defense. He knew that all the investigation Casper burdened him with was because of Jenna. Why would he care so much if his intentions were to hurt her? It didn’t make sense to him but Kate was irritated. For as long as Jenna was hurt, she would hate Casper for it.“Stop defending him because he is

    Casper confessed. Grandpa was elated. This was the opportunity for him to kick Casper out of the Blade family like his father. Only his love child would inherit the Blades' fortune. As to how he intended to get it done, it was only up to him. "Are you going to let him go like that?" Grandpa was sparking another fire as soon as Casper stepped out, thinking that Casper was avoiding being reprimanded by the seniors. "Of Course not. I'm going to get him to come and sit for us to continue this meeting," Rex assured him. Grandpa smiled internally. Finally, the Blade Towers would be his again till he finds ways to bring Caesar into the company.They both walked through where Casper just left and saw Cathan and Caleb running after Casper. Eyes turned in the direction of the intimidating men strutting about in a haste around the walkways through the round tables. "Hey, leave now," Hunter warned Gibson when he saw Casper’s cold figure ambling towards them with two stoic men running after him.

  • Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire   64 - Casper danced with Jenna

    Jenna stared back at the old man and smiled. Even if Casper danced with Donna, she would understand because it wasn't his fault but deep down, it would hurt real bad. Yes, she was also possessive. "You don't think he will do it do you?" Hunter asked after seeing her silent response to the old man's taunts. "He is under pressure. He has to do the needful," Jenna sipped a little wine. She had to be strong. The excitement she expected had turned to something else. "He will find a way out. He won't do it." Hunter’s confidence made everyone chary."You haven't known him for long so how can you be sure?" Peggy asked Hunter. Even she couldn’t believe that Casper would pull through this one."That's what makes me different. To succeed in a job is to understand the person you work for. It makes your work five times easier. I began to study him from our first introduction. Mr Blade hates to feel manipulated." "There's no way for him to get out of this one." Jenna stared at the high table an

  • Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire   65 - Donna confronts Jenna

    Tino had arrived at the party a little late because of a feud among the mafia organizations within these few days, which means that Tino also brought bad news. "Mr Fiumara, you came." Casper shook his hand vigorously. He and the elderly man were now friends because they stood for the same things for different reasons. "I wouldn't miss it for anything. Your grandpa and I are good friends," Tino spoke politely, in contrast to his intimidating aura. Casper could tell there was more. "And?" Casper lifted his head slightly, his jaws pointing to the two men behind Tino. Tino smiled. "The new Godfathers to replace Mattia and Angelo. If we can go somewhere private to talk, then I can explain more." "Of course," Casper said and led them away. When grandpa saw that the godfathers had directly gone to Casper without as much as greeting or wishing him a happy birthday first, his face turned gloomy, and not able to hold it in, he followed them. Donna was bitter after Casper's dance with Jenna

    Casper was about to close the door to a private room when he saw grandpa walking towards them and opened it wider, allowing the old man to enter. Tino smiled and walked to meet Grandpa halfway. "Grandpa, happy birthday." Grandpa didn't hide his displeasure and said, "I see you are now so fond of my grandson that you push me away." Tino was slightly contrite but his domineering personality hid it well. It was true that he and grandpa were good friends but this was a matter of urgency and knowing Casper's shoot-to-kill method, he was the right person to handle it. "No. It's because we have an emergency. Sam Cigar is back and he is causing so much trouble." "Sam?" The old man's eyes darkened. Sam was his boy and did a lot of secret errands for Grandpa back then. In return, Grandpa had given him anything he ordered without as much as investigating him. By the time they realized his shady deals, it was too late and Sam was too powerful. Back then, they could only send him into exile a

    Casper saw through the pretentious girl lying unconscious in her mother’s arms and was hovered over by her family members, and some Blade seniors, trying to revive her.Her eyes snapped open at Casper's words to the amazement of all and sundry. Her pretense was useless since the man had threatened to even take revenge on her dead body. It was better for her to take responsibility for her actions. Without thinking, she ran to kneel before Jenna. "I swear Jenna, it was an accident." She knew it would be useless to try appealing to her soon to be husbands' cold heart so, it was better to use the weaker vessel but Jenna wasn't as naive as she thought. "An accident? Tell me about it," she asked. Thanks to the painkillers, the ache was gradually subsiding. "Ehm,” Donna was looking everywhere except Jenna. From how gorgeous looked in her outfit and her knees on the marble floor with red eyes, it was a contrast. Casper had moved away when she arrived, as he delicately accessed Jenna's swol

    “She has to begin her training all over again during this period, and be of a good character,” Casper concluded. Not only the Wreaths but the Blades all knew that Casper would not marry Donna. He was just buying time. However, since he hadn’t said it plainly, no one could accuse him. It wasn’t in the nature of the Blades to criticize something they wanted therefore, Donna was out of the question."I don't have any objection to that. Does anyone have something to say?" Rex asked. Casper was too smart to argue with so he wanted to end everything quickly. Donna brought it upon herself but Rex was yet to see what Casper had up his sleeves. He was secretly amazed about Casper’s intelligence. Just when they thought everything was over for him, things turned around again. If he had a way, he would just let Casper be. Afterall, he was the smartest the Blades ever had. Before then, it was his father but even he gave everything up for love but Casper was fighting tradition differently."Yes,"

    Cathan watched in despair, as Casper's car disappeared in the distance, followed by that of Hunter and the other Blade bodyguards. Realization dawned on him too late. If even Casper misunderstood him, then Kate must be going through hell. He sat in his car and drove to Kate's house. Everywhere was quiet and dark. The security told him that no one had returned. He got desperately worried and called Kate's number but it was switched off so he called Peggy but it was also switched off. Then, he called Caleb. The line went through but there was no response from his end. He vented his frustration on the steering wheel, hitting it like an opponent in a boxing ring. Making a U turn, he drove to Casper's manor. The doctor had finished treating Jenna and was leaving when he bumped into Cathan. Cathan apologized and knocked on the door. It opened to meet an indifferent Casper in his boxers, which meant he was going to sleep. "Casper, please you have to help me," Cathan begged. He was depres

    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

    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

Unfortunately, another announcement was made by Donna and grandpa knew that it was because of the unfortunate girl because, he also heard that she attended the engagement party. 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

    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.
