Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 71 - His love was so hot that it burned her badly.
Propose? The word sounded strange in Cathan's ears. He hadn't even thought about it. Most marriages among the Blades were arranged. He knew nothing about relationships, marriage and all but he knew that he didn't want to lose the only woman he ever loved. Proposal meant setting a date for marriage as well, which meant that he had to inform grandpa first and see if Kate will be comfortable with the conditions. The Blades were weird. "I will do that but I have to introduce her to my family as well before," he said thoughtfully. What if he proposed and the Blades condition wasn't favourable to Kate? "That is well understood. In case you don't know, her father is still unwell. You have to convince her to take over the business. My husband's skills are very poor and the company is dying," the woman's expression saddened at the mention of her husband. Cathan was somehow happy with the arrangement. If Kate agreed to manage the company, then she wasn't going to be flying around the world.

The next day, Casper received a call from Cathan. After answering the call, he left Jenna sleeping and went to the study. There, he dialed Hunter’s number. From what happened between him and Jenna last night, he had to hasten things up. He didn’t want to leave her in the dark and end up losing her. It was too painful for him to hear it from her mouth that she wanted to leave him. A seething anger surged through him after recollecting everything.“Don’t come back without getting the man,” he said sternly. Then he continued, “use all the resources you can. If you need anything, just ask,” he concluded.Hunter understood that he was talking about the mysterious Blade. He couldn’t refuse though he knew that the chances were slim.“I will try my best.”He was about to hang up when Casper said, “keep an eye on Caesar.” Aside from the Wreaths, Caesar was Casper’s next bait, for what reason he didn’t use it at the party. Casper’s expression was terrible. If he could get the Wreaths out of th

“Yes, a prenup to prove that you won’t kill my grandson and take his wealth,” Grandpa let out a sinister smile, Kate felt taunted. Cathan was upset. He expected certain conditions but not this.Even when she didn't know he was rich and even thought he was going to borrow money from Casper to help her, she still loved him unconditionally, which was why she was upset when he denied her the last time.“Grandpa is that necessary.” Cathan didn't know where to start. How could he convince the old man?“Do you think that we Blades will allow a woman to take our assets? Have you thought about how our wealth has been preserved for generations? If she doesn’t agree, I can find you a wife who isn’t greedy for your wealth,” the old man snarled and puffed his cigar again. Cathan ruffled his hair in frustration. He couldn't let this happen. He had to buy time to seek Casper's advice.“Grandpa, you are not being fair. If she becomes my wife, then she’s my responsibility. How can my wife have nothing

From the deadly look on Casper’s face, Jenna could tell that something was wrong. “What’s the problem?” She was worried and asked but there was no time for him to explain. “I’ll be back,” Casper said and rushed out of her office. By the time he got to his office, the screen of his laptop was black but there was an encrypted message waiting for him. [If you don’t call back your spy, I’ll kill him. I have a personal score to settle with the Wreaths and will only give you information about them when I’m in a good mood.] Casper balled his hands into fists as the content of the message sank in. Good mood? He needed the fucking information urgently and the sender was operating with moods. How the fuck was he supposed to understand his mood It was also as if the sender of the message knew that Casper had read it because the message disappeared and everything on the screen returned to normal. Casper felt that the person was a Blade assassin gone rogue. If that was the case, then he couldn'

Caleb picked up Peggy after work. He was slightly nervous because of what Casper asked him to do. Will things turn out different between them if he obliged?He was conflicted, thinking of making his feelings known to Peggy but also fearing her feelings for Hunter. He was like her second skin and there was never a smooth conversation between them without the mention of him. “You look nervous.” Peggy looked at Caleb and said. She was equally anxious to visit his house for the first time though he has been at hers several times. When it got late and he had to sleep over, he'd curl up on the couch so Peggy understood that he also saw her as a sister. Caleb never made any sensual advances toward her.She was afraid of drooling over the attractiveness she felt towards him, only to be disappointed again. Dealing with her feelings for Hunter was already draining, she didn't want another hurdle. “Am I?” Caleb asked rhetorically, wondering how his cousins pulled through around the women they l

“I have something to show you,” Grandpa ambled majestically to Jenna. He looked so elegant in his all-white that Jenna couldn’t see the frustrations in his eyes. She was passionless about what he wanted to show her but when she saw it, her reflexes fell and her breathing hitched. “What do you want?” She gritted her teeth and asked, her hands balled into fists. He must want something to show her that video. The old man sat majestically on the chair in front of her with his legs crossed. Too bad he couldn’t bring a cigar because he was in a hurry. He had monitored Casper very well before entering Jenna’s office. Since they just arrived, it wasn’t likely that Casper would immediately come to check on Jenna. Whichever way, grandpa knew he had to leave before he came here. “Just imagine this video playing on all LED tv screens to welcome all staff in the morning." Jenna could feel her heart tightening in her chest. She was aware that Casper had shown the old man the video but had no i

Jenna had thought through everything in the night and this was the only way to keep her dignity and her friends safe. She knew Casper won’t allow her to go so after arriving at the office, she hastened through her meetings to not create any suspicions after checking the airlines. She didn’t have any destination in mind, just a plan of escape for as long as she could leave the soil of Manhattan, she’ll be fine. The quickest flight was going to France but she booked it. From there, she could plan her life and find a place to settle. She passed by the staff quarters and luckily, Kate had gone to work. After packing a few clothes from there, she set off since she couldn’t pick anything from Casper’s manor without raising suspicion. Luckily, there wasn’t much traffic but the weather was getting cloudy when she arrived at the airport. She made it to the terminal and had the ticket checked but just as she was about to go through the departure terminal, an announcement was made through the

Casper was always sure to never give her a way out. How was she supposed to return his heart? Even if the possibility knocked on her door, she wouldn't. Even if Casper were to marry Donna, Jenna wanted to remain in his heart forever. The selfishness was mutual. In a situation like this, she could only beg him. “Casp, please don’t do this,” she pleaded but Casper was upset. While he was finding a way for them to be together, she was planning on leaving him, which didn't go down well with him and he lost his patience.“Enough already. I can carry you if that’s what you want. Haven’t you created enough scene?” Jenna’s cheeks turned red as she looked at all the cars packed around them and the people staring, not minding how heavy the rain was getting. Some were even taking pictures. Instantly. She slid into the back seat. Casper asked Caleb to drive and sat beside her. He was afraid she might disappear or something if he wasn’t there.She began shivering slightly from the cold so Casper

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
Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire 93 - Fighting for his son and woman
Grandpa had decided to stay away when Casper announced to get married to Donna. It was going to be a miserable marriage so grandpa was happy. The unfortunate girl loses after all. 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
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
