Trapped by the cold billionaire Chapter Fifty eight
Eliana Brown ~•~I hated William Caddel.Well, I didn't hate hate him. I just hated the situation I found myself in. I had only spent three hours at the hotel but they'd already figured out I was there. I couldn't continue living like this. With the crowd outside, I couldn't go anywhere. I couldn't go to work because my boss was obsessed with my husband. I couldn't step foot outside because the media was also obsessed with my husband's life. Why did I bring this upon myself by making him my husband?And William hadn't even tried to reach out. Sure, I blocked him, but I had other social media accounts. I was certain he had my email too. He could reach out if he wanted to. Was he really going to leave me to bear all these alone?This was precisely why I kept this union a secret, no matter how much I liked him, no matter how much I could have taken advantage of the title of being his wife. I was just a girl from a small town. I wasn't used to being in the spotlight and I definitely was

William Caddel~•~“Are you following me upstairs?” I asked when Duke followed me into the elevator. When he entered the apartment complex with me, he had insisted he just wanted to see me off but he stayed rooted in place as I swiped my keycard against the elevator and it started moving.“It's late at night. I thought it would be best for me to crash here.”I sucked on my teeth. “And why would that be?”“You're lonely anyway and you have had a hard time sleeping since your wife left you.”I let out a sigh. He got dramatic sometimes and made a big deal out of nothing. “What makes you say that?” Sure I was sleeping less and less each day but I didn't mention it to anyone, not even George.“Come on, Will. I'm your secretary and your friend. Of course, I'd notice these things.” He responded confidently. Then again, it was my fault for giving him too much access to my life.I kissed my teeth but didn't respond to him. His stupid ass thought that sleeping over would make me sleep better. H

Eliana Brown ~•~Immediately I woke up, I realized I fucked up.I was supposed to stay awake until he arrived, then confront him directly but my stupid ass dozed off and my enemy most likely tucked me in bed. I was a bit embarrassed, which was why I waited for a long while before standing up from the bed. After I was sure he would have left for work, I went into the bathroom and got freshened up. Hungry, I stepped out of my room and went down the stairs, only to come to a halt when I reached the foot of the stairs. William hadn't gone to work. Even worse, he was sitting on a stool in the kitchen and having breakfast. He didn't look up so I assumed he didn't see me. However, just as I was about to turn around and leave, he spoke. “Don't let me stop you.” My cheeks heated up. “Or are you avoiding me?”I turned around sharply. “I'm not avoiding you!” I denied it even if I had good reason to avoid him.“Really?” He lifted his gaze briefly before looking down at this food. “I made brea

Eliana Brown ~•~“Do you love me?”William kept his eyes on me and didn't even hesitate when he answered. “More than you'd ever know.” I shook my head.“I'm serious, baby. I'm not lying to keep you with me or anything. I'm being honest. I've never lied to you, I promise.” His voice was taking on a desperate tone. “I may have tricked you indirectly but I've never uttered a word of lie to you. I always tell you the truth whenever you ask so ask away. Ask whatever you want to know. I'll answer.”“You don't love me, William. If you did, you wouldn't force me into your life. You gave me no choice but to be with you. That's not how you treat the girl you love.” He tested me like I was a toy he wanted that he was going to get no matter what he had to do for it. I had no choice in the matter. “What you feel for me is something far more sinister than love!”“Don't I know it?” He kissed his teeth. “I'm very self-aware. I know what I feel for you. I know I am obsessed with you but I also know

Eliana Brown~•~Despite still being angry at William, I heeded his advice.I didn't know what Miss Smith thought about me at the moment, but I was certain she wasn't happy with the situation. She could fire me for missing work and it would affect my chances of getting employed somewhere else.I was having breakfast in the kitchen when William walked in. “Your driver is waiting downstairs whenever you're ready.”“I can take a cab.”“You might end up inconveniencing the cab driver.” He pointed out. “They haven't gotten any information from you yet and they are going to keep trying.”I stayed silent, not responding. He opened the fridge and took a bottle of water, keeping his back to me as he gulped it down. On a usual day, we'd be having breakfast together but I didn't even bother to make him food. He didn't complain though, knowing he did something wrong. “Uh…” I trailed off, making him turn toward me.“Anything?”“Should I confirm or deny?”He stared at me for a few seconds, then shr

Eliana Brown~•~After those words, she walked away.Bianca and I shared a look. “What do you think she wants to say?” I questioned.She shrugged. “All I know is that you're in trouble. Don't annoy her further by keeping her waiting.”“Oh right.” I scrambled to leave my cubicle.Bianca was right. I was in trouble. Miss Smith had openly liked William. Everyone in the office knew that. Even people outside the office knew of her feelings for him. If I were her, I'd feel humiliated but I doubt I'd take it out on the poor girl (me). I was suffering enough from public ridicule. I didn't need her to add to it.When I got to her office, I knocked softly and waited for her to permit me in before I went inside.“You wanted to see me, ma.”“Sit.” She instructed, arms folded as she leaned against her desk. I looked at the chair in front of her and the sofa that was a bit further. I chose the sofa. I heard her chuckle but it was only for a split second so I could have imagined it.“Are you going

Eliana Brown~•~Work was tough. Miss Smith walked past me a thousand times today, making sure I felt her glare. Everyone around me could feel it too and they shared glances with me whenever she left.I was more than happy when the clock struck five and I was ready to leave. I was the first person out of my desk. Thankfully, I was done with all my work by then.I went downstairs, hoping to see my driver waiting for me as usual. My driving lesson with William had been cut short so I was still stuck and didn't know how to drive yet.However, when I stepped out of the building into the parking lot, the first face I saw had me turning back around.Harry reached out and grabbed my hand, pulling me closer to him. “Where the fuck do you think you're going?” He dragged me away from the entrance and settled at the corner. “You were ignoring my calls and texts. I had no choice but to find you here. When did you start working at such a big company?”“Leave me alone!” I tried to snatch my hand aw

William Caddel~•~Eliana was lowering her guard against me and I couldn't be happier.She was not going out of her way to speak to me but she wasn't avoiding me anymore either. It could only get better from there. She answered my questions politely rather than being sarcastic or making a snarky remark. I was happy about that.After her crazy day at work the previous day, it was finally the weekend. “How do you want me to deal with your ex?” I asked as I joined her on the couch. She shifted to the edge a bit but I pretended not to notice.“Must you?”“How persistent is he?” “Quite a lot.”“Then I must,” I told her honestly. He looked violent and it seemed like he might have truly hurt her the previous day if I hadn't intervened in time. I couldn't just sit still and wait for him to attack her. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I didn't know that he was tamed yet. “So tell me how to deal with him.”Her cheeks heated up. “Why are you asking me that? How would I know?”It was cut

William Caddel~•~Eliana was a lot clingier than usual.I didn’t know if she just wanted to keep an eye on me or if she was actually suspicious of my movement but she insisted on following me when I told her I had somewhere to be.Not wanting to directly lie to her, I just told her I had to meet with someone but according to her, it was the weekend and she was meant to spend it with me. When I told her it was important, she insisted on accompanying me. Denying her would either lead to more suspicions or make her mad so I accepted it.Duke was driving me today even if I had given him time off. The last break I’d given him wasn’t used to completion because he came back for my birthday and my grandfather died the morning after. He didn’t want me to handle Eliana’s ex alone so I also had no choice but to let him come along.On our way to the restaurant I told him to meet me at, my phone rang.I brought it out of my pocket only to see that it was Sandra calling. I let out a sigh. I had be

Eliana Brown~•~I knocked on Mr. Edward’s office once before I opened it and stepped in. “You wanted to see me, sir?”Without saying a word, he handed a document to me. I opened it to see that it was the sales report for the last month. “Uhhh…” I trailed off, not knowing what he wanted from me.“You’re doing the report again and you have…” he looked at the watch on his wrist. “About five minutes to get there.”My eyes went wide. I was surprised he was letting me report to William even if Bianca was present. Mr Edward had never liked me and even after finding out I was married to the boss of his boss, he still didn’t care. According to him, it made sense why I was hired. However, he thought I was capable so he wasn’t too bothered by my presence.“Really?”“Four minutes, fifty-two seconds.”“I’ll be on my way immediately!” I exclaimed and rushed out of his office. It seemed like he was finally warming up to me. The other day, he allowed me to meet a client on my own. Thankfully, the c

William Caddel~•~One week later I was finally back at work.Eliana resumed work way before me since her boss already didn’t like her. She didn’t want to give her reasons to fire her.The news of my grandfather’s death had hit the internet and every call I got these days was to offer condolences to me. I wouldn’t lie. It was quite tiring but I understood that my grandfather had a lot of friends and business partners before he retired and left the company for me.I had been tempted to have a private funeral but I wanted his friends to be able to say goodbye to him one last time, which was why I announced his death and the funeral to the public.The funeral happened two days ago yet people were still calling to sympathize with me.A knock on the door interrupted me from my thoughts and without waiting for permission to enter, Duke came in, slamming the door close behind him.I cocked my head at him. “Is something wrong?”“You have an unwanted visitor.”“Who?”“Eliana’s ex.”I frowned.

Eliana Brown~•~After being recognized as William’s wife publicly, it was a lot easier to navigate expensive places.Back when I was just Eliana Brown, it was very hard to even book a reservation for places like this. If my friends and I wanted to dine in such a nice restaurant, we had to book several months ahead, but this time, I could just waltz in and get what I wanted without any stress. I wouldn’t lie. William’s connections were quite good. It was precisely because the owner knew William which was why the staff prioritized me as soon as I got there. It felt good. Also, I didn’t have to keep William waiting. He finally wanted to eat something. If I took too long, he could change his mind. I couldn’t have that.They boxed my order and the owner handed it to me personally, telling me to send his regards to William. I nodded and assured him we’d visit soon before I left and flagged down a taxi.The ride back home wasn’t long but I was impatient and kept bouncing my leg each second

William Caddel ~•~Fate was playing a cruel trick on me.I lost my parents a long time ago at the same time. At the time, I thought my life was over, but my grandparents took me in. Since I was young when my parents died, I didn’t have many memories of them.I didn’t have any uncles, aunties, or cousins that I could lean on. I only had my grandparents.Twenty years ago, my grandmother got very sick and passed away, so it had just been me and my grandfather for the past twenty years.He got older each day and even more weaker as the days went by. I saw this coming. I knew it would happen soon but I still wasn’t prepared for it.Even after the official announcement of his death, I still couldn’t believe he was gone. As though I was in a trance, I dealt with all the paperwork and did all the necessary things to transfer his corpse to the mortuary.Eliana accompanied me every step of the way, staying close by as though she was scared I would snap.I wouldn’t. I felt numb. It hadn’t prop

Eliana Brown~•~I woke up to the sound of rustling on the bed.My head was aching from all the alcohol I had the previous night, but William’s footsteps were too heavy to ignore.I rubbed my eyes as I sat up on the bed, wondering why William was up. It was four o’clock in the morning. Even if he was an early riser, he didn’t wake up so early these days.I watched as he dashed into the closet and came back out dressed in less than a minute.“What’s going on? Where are you going?”He turned to look at me when he heard my voice. “The hospital.”Every atom of sleep cleared from my eyes immediately. “What? Is something wrong with Grandpa?” As I asked that question, I was already getting out of bed. Thankfully, William hadn’t taken off my clothes last night so I didn’t have to bother about finding clothes.He nodded as he grabbed his car keys from the nightstand as well as his phone.“I’m coming with you.”“You had a stressful night. You don’t have to.”“I will.” I rushed into the bathroom

William Caddel ~•~It didn’t matter that we just had a bunch of food and snacks with my grandfather. Eliana took me to dinner again.Well, we went roller skating first, which was chaotic because she had never done it in her life, but after that, we went to a restaurant.I was forty, but apart from my parents, no one had put in this much effort to celebrate my birthday. They died pretty early, which meant I hadn’t been celebrated like this in more than thirty years.If I wasn’t already married to Eliana, I would propose to her again. I didn’t regret any of my actions because she was the best thing to ever happen to me.I looked at my watch. “It’s already past ten. Do you have something else in mind or is this the end?” I couldn’t help but question because it felt like she wanted to celebrate every second of the day with me.Eliana giggled, already feeling tipsy from the one glass of wine she drank. She was such a lightweight. “One more once we’re done here.”I was intrigued, wondering

William Caddel~•~I was still surprised as Eliana opened the door and exited the car. I followed suit anyway.“Happy birthday, dude. Have a nice day.” Duke waved to me and started the engine again when we were out of the car.I didn't even have the time to answer him before he drove off, leaving me and Eliana alone. She was struggling with the bag and the box of cake, but when I offered, she slapped my hand away. “I can do it.”“I know.” I humored her. “I just want to help.”“You're the birthday boy, you shouldn't have to do anything.”My face scrunched up in displeasure. “Don't call me that again. It's insulting.”“My bad.” Eliana laughed. “I forgot the age you're turning today.”“Let's just go in.” I took the beg from her and headed for the hospital doors. She ran behind me and tried to take the bag from me but I didn't let her.Knowing we were obviously going to my grandfather's room, I went straight there. For years, I had spent my birthday with my grandfather, but I never expec

William Caddel~•~As bright and early as six o'clock in the morning, Eliana knocked on my door and pulled me from sleep.I had woken up but I didn't move from the bed. When she got tired of knocking, she pushed the door open and walked in. “Wake up, Will. It's your birthday today.”I kept my eyes closed. She was announcing it like I didn't know that as well. “Will? William?” Her voice got closer and soon I could feel her presence right next to me. “Wake up, William. You are not usually a deep sleeper.” At this point, her face was right next to mine. “Are you doing it on purpose?”I responded by pulling her onto the bed and wrapping my arms around her. I let out a satisfied sigh, loving the feeling of her body mashed up against mine.“Will!” Her voice was muffled since her face was buried in my chest.“It's my birthday today.” I reminded her of what she said just a few seconds ago. “Let me enjoy this for a moment, please.”“Will.” She mumbled for the last time before she eventually g
