Trapped by the cold billionaire Chapter Fifty four
William Caddel~•~The consequences of my actions were coming back to bite me in the ass and I wasn’t too surprised.I’d manage to assure my grandfather that all those things were rumors. He was getting weaker each day and I didn’t want him to be stressed with my supposed love life. I wanted him to rest and get well as soon as possible.However, the articles didn’t stop. There was even one, comparing the four women I was recently seen with. It seemed deliberate; as if someone was attacking my character on purpose.I confirmed that it was an attack when they stopped questioning my morals and started questioning my tech devices. I specialized in medical tech, which meant if something went wrong with one of our creations, it could cause harm to people.I knew damn well everything was fine with it, but all they needed to do was to make a video with a mask and a fake detector, trying to prove to the world that we used fake materials.Duke barged into my office without knocking. “Have you s

Eliana Brown~•~William had been under fire for the past week because of his supposed involvement with several women. It served him right but I felt bad for him, especially because someone had started spreading rumors about his company.They weren’t just attacking his character, but his hard work too, but that didn’t mean I was going to let him in my life because of pity.William had the power to break down my walls with just one look. I had underestimated just how much I liked the man. Seeing him again the previous day totally rattled me and if I spoke with him, I was certain I would forgive him immediately.Thinking back, he didn’t actually hurt me. He helped me get out of uncomfortable situations and made my life better but the way he went about it scared me. It showed me just how much he could control my life without my knowledge. Sure I had a better home and job because of him, but I just couldn’t believe he was that calculating.Then again, he was a businessman. He was a billio

Eliana Brown~•~Reporters were scary. Since the day William announced that he had a wife, they began camping in front of the office building, hoping they could fish out answers from him each day. It was hard to get in and out of work and it was starting to take a toll on everybody.Our boss was irritated as fuck and was firing her employees at the smallest mistakes. Everyone was walking on eggshells around her, not wanting to offend her and lose their job.I was even getting tired of working because it was a hassle to push through the reporters every day. Catherine and I were busy having breakfast when Peter suddenly came inside the apartment.The door closing behind him caught our attention and we turned our gazes to him.“What's wrong, babe? Did you forget something?” Catherine asked her boyfriend. He had been on his way to work before suddenly turning around.“The way out is blocked.”I frowned. “What do you mean?” I didn't want anything to stop me from going to work early. My bo

William Caddel~•~As soon as I entered my grandfather’s room, he looked the other way.I sucked on my teeth but the subtle dismissal didn't stop me from walking toward his bed. He had been the one to summon me anyway. I wouldn't leave without meeting him.I dragged out a chair and sat beside his bed. That was when he faced me. “Did I ask you to sit?”I bit down on my bottom lip and stood up. “My bad.”His teeth clenched at my words but he was quick to shake his head, not having the patience to deal with me. “What is going on with your wife? Why did she move out? Did you do something stupid? Did she leave because you announced your marriage in public?” He passed and thought for a second. “No, she definitely left before that. You did that as a way to bring her back to you, didn't you?”I stayed silent.“Why did you announce it? I thought it was supposed to be a secret?”“There was a new rumor each day about a different woman. I had to put an end to it or it would ultimately affect my

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

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
