Trapped by the cold billionaire Chapter Twenty five
William Caddel~•~Eliana was officially my wife. She didn’t change her last name for obvious reasons but that didn’t take away the fact that she was legally mine. Well, she was mine in every sense of the word. She just didn’t know that yet.Since it wasn’t a huge ceremony, she had spent the previous day moving into my penthouse. It was a Friday and I had work but for the first time in a while, I took a day off to be able to help her with moving in.She didn’t have to buy furniture for the apartment downstairs so moving wasn’t much of a problem for her. The only things she had to pack were her personal things like clothes, body care, flowers, and the rest. She didn’t sleep in my house that night though. She slept at her apartment and went straight to my grandfather’s house this morning to start getting ready for the wedding.It was our wedding night and the first day we would be living together as a married couple. We sat across from each other, staring. I knew it was awkward for her

William Caddel~•~I stared at her. Her cheeks were flushed and her nose was beginning to turn red. Her eyes were hazy but she was able to maintain eye contact with me.I wondered what kind of drunk she was. Would she remember what happened the next day? Or would she forget everything? I didn’t know exactly how many glasses she had taken but it was enough to give her liquid courage.She reached up to poke my cheek, surprising me. “I’m talking to you, Will.” Her voice was slow and lazy. It was also the first time she was calling me Will. “Why did you marry me? Do you like me?”“What if I do?”Her drunk ass totally ignored my words. “Are you using me just like the movie? Hmm? Tell me.” She didn’t even wait for me to speak. “What’s going to happen now that we’re married? What’s going to happen tonight? It’s our wedding night right?”I wasn’t quite sure what she meant by those questions and I didn’t want to assume because I had a dirty mind. “Why don’t you tell me why you married me inste

Eliana Brown~•~I didn’t think things through when I jumped away from William.I was so close to falling and hitting my head on the table when his hand came around my waist and pulled me even closer to him.My scream faded into a gasp at our proximity. Had he been awake all this while? Why did he pretend to be asleep? I needed to dig a hole and bury myself as soon as possible! I was mortified. My cheeks were flaming red. How did I find new ways to embarrass myself in front of him every time?“Are you good?” His morning voice was even deeper than his normal voice and the raspiness caught me off guard.I nodded ferociously and moved away from him, still sitting on the couch because my legs were shaky as fuck.I stared at the table and saw the bottle of wine we had shared last night. I had drank most of it. Was that why I ended on him last night? Who slept off first? What happened? Did I do anything stupid?I looked at him, wanting to ask what happened last night but I didn’t want to em

Eliana Brown~•~For the second time that morning, I almost fell over but I quickly held on to the wall to prevent my ass from kissing the ground.I turned around to see that William was inside the kitchen, cooking. Didn’t he say he didn’t know how to cook? “Uh, yeah, I have plans with my friends.”“So you’re not having breakfast then?”I tried to look past him but I couldn’t see anything. After drinking a lot last night, I woke up hungry. “What are you making?”He shrugged. “Come find out.” Then he turned around to focus on the stove.My mouth fell open. Was he tempting me with food now? On purpose? Or did he want me to approach him so he could scold me about last night?I never liked going out to eat alone and breakfast was right in front of me. I was still contemplating going downtown but when my stomach rumbled in protest, I knew I had no choice but to go back where I came from.With a relenting sigh, I went back inside and dropped my bag on the couch on my way to the kitchen.

Eliana Brown~•~After six weeks at my workplace, my superior no longer thought I didn’t deserve the job. Well, he still thought the same but he was killing me with work so that had to mean something, right?The company had been in existence for almost five years and I was told to sort out the files of all the hospitals we had worked with. I didn’t know why and I wasn’t very certain it was in my job description but I couldn’t outrightly say no.There were heaps and heaps of files and I wasn’t sure I would be done anytime soon. It was times like this that I regretted working in such a serious company. At a department store, I had nothing to do with files. Then again, that was the reason the pay was so high, wasn’t it? When I received my first paycheck at the end of my first month, I was astonished. I knew what the salary would be like but somehow it still surprised me when it hit my bank account.It was already six o’clock, an hour past closing time yet I wasn’t close to being done. Mo

William Caddel~•~“Do you think she’ll come down?” Duke asked me five minutes after my last call with Eliana.“She will,” I assured him. I knew Eliana quite well and even if she was avoiding me after I caught her caressing my face, she was going to come down anyway. She was one to give in easily, especially when she didn’t have a good enough excuse to do otherwise.True to my words, I saw her step outside and look around before her eyes landed on my car. I couldn’t hold back the smile that appeared on my face as she approached the car. Just like the other day, she didn’t know whether she should sit at the back or not. I locked eyes with Duke through the rearview mirror and he sighed dramatically, getting out of the car to open the back door for her.She smiled at him nervously and thanked him, avoiding my gaze as she sat beside me and closed the door.I hadn’t seen her this morning. Well, I’d barely seen her this past week but as always, she looked beautiful with her formal wear and

Eliana Brown~•~“Can you teach me how to drive?”Catherine burst out laughing at my random question but I couldn’t even be bothered because a week after taking lessons from a tutor at a driving school, the only things I knew were the names of the car parts.“Stop laughing.” I gritted my teeth. “Are you teaching me or not?”“Didn’t your husband offer to teach you?” She asked while she was still laughing. I wasn’t used to people calling William my husband so it always caught me by surprise. “You declined such a good offer yet you’re here asking me to teach you again.”“Is that the point?”“It is, of course.” Her laughing fit died down slowly. “You had the opportunity to get closer to this man and you threw it away because of your shyness.”“Opportunity?” My cheeks flushed red. “I don’t want to be closer to him. Why would I want to be close to him?”“I don’t know, Eliana.” Her tone dripped with sarcasm. “Maybe because you liked him?”Instinctively, I looked around to make sure no one co

William Caddel~•~Eliana was back home early and it was weird because I was expecting her to come back sometime later, which was why I didn’t refuse Duke and George’s visit. Since the only two other people who had access to my house were already present, it meant she was the one using the private elevator at that moment.Her lesson was supposed to last for a few hours but she was already back so soon. Did something happen? Or did her instructor cancel on her?As soon as Camilla noticed that someone was coming up, she ran to the elevator to find out who it was. She was a nosy little thing that couldn’t be stopped. Lately, the seven-year-old had gotten more curious than ever.One minute later, both Eliana and Camilla came into the living room. Eliana’s eyes immediately sought me. Her gaze strayed to Duke and George who were in the kitchen. “Hi.” They both greeted in unison.However, she didn’t respond to them and returned her gaze to me. She looked down at Camilla, then at me. “You ha

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

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~•~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

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

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~•~I was in my office, working when Duke suddenly came in. “Olivia is here to see you.”I frowned. “She didn't inform me beforehand.”Duke shrugged. “She looks angry though.”I let out a sigh. She was difficult to handle whenever she was angry. I could only hope she wasn't making things hard for Eliana. Eliana would never let me know even if she was being bullied. “Let her in.”As soon as I said those words, Olivia came through the door, not waiting for Duke to send her in. Duke bit down on his lip, holding his laugh as he exited the office, leaving us alone together.“Is there a problem?” I questioned, not looking up from my work.She stomped toward my desk and banged something on it. It was my birthday invitation card. What had Eliana done? Why did she invite her?“I would have thought our years of friendship would mean something to you.” She hissed. “You couldn't even invite me yourself. A simple text or call would have sufficed but you just had to go through your w

Eliana Brown ~•~I placed a knock on my boss’s door and waited for her to permit me before I walked in.She was surprised to see me in her office but was also quick to mask it and look away.“I'm sure whatever you need to tell me can be passed down from your department head.” She spoke, not caring to look at me. She didn't try to hide her hatred for me. She hated me even more for the fact that firing me would be directly going against William; her investor and the man she loved.I didn't know if it made me a bad person but I didn't try to sympathise with her. If anything, I was here to rub my marriage in her face. She would fire me if she could. Why should I try to coddle her feelings?I walked closer to her desk and placed the envelope on it without you saying anything.She stared at the envelope, then at me, and back at the envelope. Slowly but surely, she took hold of it and opened it to reveal the invitation inside. When she saw what it was, she laughed humorlessly. “You've bee

Eliana Brown~•~William had taken me out to hang out with his friends. I didn't even know when I agreed to follow him since I lowkey resented his friends.They all knew all that he had done. They watched me fall for the man stupidly. They most likely thought I was a naive fool stupid enough to fall for someone like their friend. I was especially angry at Duke. He was with us almost every weekday. He even helped William make plans for us. I wondered what he was thinking each day when he saw me.However, hanging out with them wasn't so bad, especially with the presence of Camilla, who claimed all three men as her fathers. There was a bit of tension but Camilla and her new nanny eased it.When Camilla got tired, it was time to go home, but instead of going home, William suggested we visit his grandfather.“He's getting weaker by the day but refuses to admit it.” He had told me. It was enough to convince me.I didn't see the man much since he was always in the hospital but he was genuine

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
