Cathan was getting worried. Casper must be hallucinating about that girl he claims to save his life, taking her for Jenna. "Casper, have you asked her? You were unconscious when we brought you to the hospital. It's possible that your suspicions were inaccurate," he said carefully. They were cousins and best friends but he was still his bodyguard.

"What are you implying?" There was agitation behind Casper's calm tone but Caleb has been busy with something on his ipad, paying them no attention.

"That you ask her before showing appreciation to the wrong girl," Cathan advised. He still felt that Casper was mistaken but his next words gave him assurance that he was well aware of his words and actions.

"I'm not stupid Cathan, and I won't do anything till she admits it. Who knows, she might know about the surveillance too. Do you think that the old man will give up just like that?"

"Ahhh, at least you are still in there. I was beginning to think that you lost your mind," Cathan said casua

  • Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire   10 - Don't keep him waiting

    Jenna woke with a startle. Checking the time, it was almost midday. She could feel her heartburn with fear. "I'm so sorry Cathan. I found it difficult to sleep before...." "Casper has limited patience, don't abuse it," Cathan spat before the call ended. Jenna was deflated. She didn't intend to oversleep. Next time, she would have to set her alarm. She had a quick shower and put on a simple office dress, rolled her hair up into a bun, securing it with a hair clip, slipped on her nerd glasses, then her less than two inches shoes. In less than ten minutes, she was panting in her office. She checked her handbag for the videotape to give Casper as proof when a knock was heard on the door. She jumped with both shock and fright when she saw Casper standing there with that emotionless mask. "Come with me, Miss Nova," the calmness in his voice scared her, recalling what Cathan had told her. The man was both attractive and dreadful. Somehow, she began to think of perfect revenge on Drak

  • Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire   11 - Thank you for saving my life

    Casper left Jenna in a state of confusion, as she walked back to her office. The two bodyguards at the door couldn't take their eyes off her, wondering what had happened in Casper's office. Jenna had entered as a nerd but came out looking like a superstar. They couldn't draw a link between their cold and aloof boss with this manager who had gotten into trouble just yesterday. She felt their curious gazes on her back but couldn't care less. She had faced the worst gaze ever and survived, thereby being grateful for the relocation of her office; if not, voices would have accompanied the gazes, as she felt different from her usual self. That frosty Casper had a knack for beautiful things which was unexpected. Jenna couldn't comprehend how she felt over what he had just done to her, having admitted that she was the least dressed in the company but her look now, only brought back memories of her past she wasn't pleased about. When she opened the door to her office, she was met with her te

  • Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire   12 - So my question is, will you do it?

    Casper was testing her. All along, he watched how she fringed with fright, increasing the distance between them. Her behavior betrayed her. As expected, Jenna began to speak without thinking. "It was you?" Her brows were lifted in both shock and panic. All this while, she succeeded in convincing herself that Casper's resemblance to the dying man was a mere coincidence. Casper nodded his head in the affirmative, her heart rate erratic. "But how did you know? That man was unconscious. Even when he opened his eyes, the room was dimly lit. There's no way he will recall and there's no way he could be you," she ranted on, then stopped suddenly as if recalling something. "Wait, he said his men were going to send him to the hospital in the morning. Are those your bodyguards?" She asked but more of self-realization. Casper kept on nodding. "Well, I wasn't sure before but I am now," he maintained the usual calmness. Jenna felt like a fool. She should have denied it but went on blabbing. Wh

    Confusion apprehended Jenna, her mind went blank. Casper knew all along that she saved his life so that explains all his kindness towards her but right now, she didn't know what to do. He was attractive but what next? They were both single anyway so did it make it right for him to get into her pants? What about Eve and even Drake? And oh, the hit and run driver who was never caught, her father's body which was also not found. "I..." "Before you speak, I have something else to tell you." Casper didn't want to leave any stone unturned. He was very honest. "What is it?" Jenna was getting more bizarre. What could be worse than what he just said? "We can't have anything to do with each other afterward. Grandpa has a woman arranged and I have to get married in six months. Therefore, I can't promise you a stable relationship but I promise to keep you safe and do anything you want, so what do you say?" Why did those calm words hurt her so much? She needed him to make Eve and Drake jealous

    Cathan left the interrogation of the old security team in the hands of Caleb. He drove as fast as he could to the staff quarters to send Casper's message across. There was also that hidden desire to see Kate because he missed her. What she didn't know was the fact that she was his first. That was the reason why he lost it and kept spitting secrets mindlessly. He understood why grandpa was against loving one woman. Love could make one act senselessly. He encouraged being with different women but the three Cs never had time for women. As soon as he arrived, Kate went to open the door. Jenna had gotten tired of waiting and gone to sleep. At the sight of Kate, Cathan’s desires rose again. Without any formalities, he plastered his lips on hers in a deep passionate kiss. He was rough, just as Kate liked it. His strong right hand gripped her hair tightly while his left hand wrapped tightly around her waist. She yelped with pain, from the wound on her waist as the painkillers had begun to wea

  • Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire   15 - I like this car, can I keep it?

    "Jenna, I have to go shopping." Kate had foraged through her things in the closet and didn't see anything presentable for tonight. "We are almost the same size. Just pick anything from my closet."Kate shook her head, her face gloomy. "Aren't they gifts?" "Pick anything you like,” Jenna insisted. Kate has given her more than she's given. Even after inconveniencing and forcing her to live in the staff quarters, Kate never expressed any form of displeasure therefore, whatever Jenna had, Kate could freely have it. After Kate picked an outfit that was hand-designed by the famous Vetta Hart, similar to what Jenna wore, they took turns making each other up. When they were halfway through, they heard a knock on the door. Jenna went to get it and was amazed to see a middle-aged man at the door, neatly dressed in a dark brown suit. Before she could ask any questions, he introduced himself. "I'm Justice Ford. Mr. Blade sent me to be your chauffeur for the night." Jenna almost choked on lau

  • Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire   16 - He is my boyfriend and the new CEO

    "What are you doing here?" Eve asked with a dark expression when she saw the dress Jenna wore. Having frozen her accounts, how could she afford a dress worth thousands of dollars? "I should be asking you that question, This is my territory." Jenna expected to meet many people today but Eve wasn't one of them. She wasn't a staff of Blade Towers so what was she doing here? "Jenna, you have never stopped being bossy." Eve has always envied Jenna's bossiness. The fact was, even if Jenna was scared on the inside, it never showed on the outside unless she was guilty. Now all she wanted to do was taunt Eve. "How can I? I was born to rule so what do you want here?" She suddenly recalled Kate. In as much as she enjoyed watching the color drain from Eve's face, she couldn't stay any longer and added, "anyway, don't bother. I don't have time to listen." She walked around her and back to the hall. ****** In one of the Presidential suite, Casper and the old man were having a heated argument.

    Eve screamed after Drake. "Are you leaving just like that?" It was embarrassing to see her man flee from another, even if he was a dracula. If it were true that that CEO was really Jenna's boyfriend, then the latter caught a big fish this time. Eve couldn't stomach it and pulled Drake's suit sleeve, pinning him at a standing position. Drake stared at her blankly. "Thank you Eve, I just got fired," he loosened his tie and said. Eve was perplexed that he was blaming it all on her. Wasn't a man supposed to protect his woman? Drake didn't and now he was blaming it on her, she felt resentful. "What? Are you blaming me? I didn't tell you to touch her." "I told you not to come but you forced yourself and embarrassed the new CEO." Drake had gotten the job by pulling some tight strings. It wasn't easy to be employed by the Blades but the person owed him a favour and got the position for him. He wasn't completely oblivious to Jenna's presence. He had seen her in a flash when he went to mee

    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

    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

    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.
