Trapped by the cold billionaire Chapter Sixty nine
Eliana Brown~•~“So you've completely forgiven him then?” Catherine asked over the phone.“When did I say that?”“You just came back from having dinner with him, babe. Do you even need to say it?”I bit down on my bottom lip, feeling stupid. I had made a fuss about how he had behaved, even went as far as running away from his place, only to come back to him without hesitation. “I'm such a fool, aren't I?”I didn't just come back to his house. I was even helping to plan his birthday. I was going out of my way to do something for him despite being angry at him and when he asked me out for dinner, I couldn't help but say yes.In my defense though, I was happy that my boss came back from his office angrier than she was when she left. It meant that he didn't try to coddle her feelings when she went to complain about me. William had always been a straightforward man but it seemed like he never explicitly rejected her. I assumed he did so, which was why she came back angry. My stupid ass sa

William Caddel~•~As I brainstormed on ways to make my woman forgive me, I was interrupted by a call.It happened to be Duke. I frowned, wondering why he was calling. We just parted ways a few hours ago. I answered the call and brought my phone up to my ear. “Yeah?”“I came over to drop some files before I take my leave.”I rolled my eyes. “You could have dropped them at the office. Also, why are you calling me? Can't you just head up?” He had unrestricted access to my house and could come and go as he pleased.“Well, that's the thing. I saw a familiar face lurking around the complex.”“Who?”“Eliana’s ex.” He answered. “I'm not sure what he's trying to do but he's not going in or leaving. He's just there.” How he managed to figure out where she lived wasn't my problem, but didn't he know that a woman typically lived with her husband? He was getting close to stalking at this point and I only needed one mistake from him to throw him in jail. I didn't mind if it made me sound like a b

William Caddel~•~I kissed her immediately and I could feel it when her defenses fell. She melted against me and kissed me back with equal fervor, wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me closer to herself.I groaned against her lip in satisfaction but for some reason, the sound had her pulling away to stare at me.I didn't give her time to reflect on her actions as I pulled her in for another kiss. This time, she wrapped her legs around my waist, eliminating any space between us. I was pressed up against her and my hands were running up and down her body, trying to touch her everywhere at the same time.“Will.” She whispered against my lips.“Hmm?” I captured her bottom lip in my mouth once again, sucking without restriction. When I pulled away, her cheeks were flushed and her lips were swollen. “Yes?”“I- I missed you.”I felt my chest tighten with excitement. When I first saw Eliana, I had thought it was just a minor obsession that would eventually pass. I thought she was j

Eliana Brown ~•~I was crazy.I had told myself to do a lot of thinking before I approached Will but as soon as he cornered me, I melted into his arms immediately. It was scary. He had so much power over me and he didn't even know it.It wasn't the first time we were kissing but unlike the first time, I felt really embarrassed. I didn't even know how to leave my room, but if I didn't do that soon, I was going to be very late.Taking a deep breath, I finally arranged my bag and opened my room door quietly. When it was open, I looked around the hallway. Thankfully, it was all clear.I held my heels in my hand and tiptoed down the stairs. I didn't dare go into the kitchen no matter how thirsty I was. I kept my gaze on my focus as I slowly approached the corridor.So close to teaching my target, I was beyond shocked when I felt an arm around my waist. I didn't even have enough time to be surprised before I was suddenly lifted up.“What are you doing, Will!?” I yelled in horror as he plac

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

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 ~•~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

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

Eliana Brown ~•~ I was having the best time of my life. After going on this trip with William, I finally understood why people always suggested traveling. It was well worth using my annual leave. Aside from the fact that William didn’t hesitate to initiate sex whenever he could, it was nice just walking around with him. However, the sad part about it was that it was already coming to an end. It seemed too soon but I had already spent six days touring the city. “Why are you pouting? What are you thinking about?” I sighed. “I don’t want to go back.” “Should we stay another week?” I laughed at his suggestion. “Your mistress will fire me.” William rolled his eyes at my joke. “Olivia is not my mistress.” “She still likes you, doesn’t she?” “At least, she doesn’t act on it anymore. She knows her boundaries.” I nodded, agreeing with that. No matter how much she liked him, she knew when to step back. That was probably why her relationship with Sandra, William’s ex, was

Eliana Brown~•~My leg immediately stopped shaking when a heavy hand was placed on it.Looking away from the scenery, I focused on William.“You haven’t sat still since we landed here. I’m afraid you’d exhaust your energy before we get to do anything.”My cheeks heated up at William’s teasing but I still ignored it. “It’s my first time here!”“Yeah? I could never tell.”I swatted his hand away from my leg. He wouldn’t get it. He grew up rich and had the opportunity to visit several places. I never even got to leave America. I grew up in a small town and managed to break free and travel to the big city immediately after I turned eighteen. Then I had to focus on working to feed and accommodate myself. Even worse, Harry was living off me at some point. I had no time or money to travel and enjoy the finer things in life.It was why as soon as William mentioned a vacation, I was more than excited. I'd read about Paris and I’d seen it a lot in movies. Even when William mentioned Paris, I m

Eliana Brown~•~I stared at William warily. It seemed like he was up to something. As promised, his meeting didn’t take long but the smug look he had on his face as he came out had me really suspicious. “What was the meeting about? Why do you look so happy?”He chuckled. “Wouldn’t you like to know?”“Yes, I would, and I’d appreciate it if you told me about it.”“Why not just see for yourself?”“See what?”“Just wait and see.”Even if Duke entered the car, he didn’t start driving immediately, letting me know that whatever I had to see had to do with the restaurant they just came out from. I stared at William, then at Duke through the rearview mirror, but their faces weren’t giving me any clue as to what I was waiting for.As I waited, I recalled something else. “By the way, what’s in the briefcase?” When they came back, Duke had put the briefcase on the passenger’s seat.At my question, William nodded at Duke and Duke handed the briefcase to me. I was taken aback by its heavy weight

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
