Chapter 5 Damn...It's indeed a trap...!!

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-08 22:17:59

Ericka's point of view...

It was a risky plan, but I was desperate enough to take the chance. If Logan, the young master of the Davis family, was smitten by Elvira, perhaps I could escape the fate I so dreaded.

"Ma'am...I was asked to bring only one guest..." the driver said, his tone a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

Something was off...! The driver behaved so oddly.

“We are sisters, do you have any objections?” I protested, trying to play it cool.

“I thought I was the guest of honor today, but I think I need to ask Mr. Davis send me another car...." I picked up my phone scrolling down the screen, pretending to be calling someone. And as I expected, it did intimidate him.

"Ma'am, that's okay. No need to disturb Sir. We are already running late..." the driver said, respectfully and opened the car door for us.

Elvira smiled sweetly, her earlier resentment replaced by an eagerness to impress.

"Thank you," she said, her voice sweet and gentle.

What a gentle butterfly...! I controlled the urge to roll my eyes.

With that, we climbed into the car, and as I settled in, I felt a flicker of hope. Maybe this plan would work. Maybe I could escape this marriage after all.

I shot a glance at Elvira, who was now giddy with excitement, and I couldn’t help but smirk.

“You look incredible!” I exclaimed once again when we finally settled in the car.

Elvira blushed, preening down at herself for a moment, she seemed to forget the resentment she held towards me.

“That color really suits you, little sis” I added, hoping to stoke her vanity even further.

“Do you really think so?” she asked, turning to me, her eyes bright with excitement.

“Absolutely. You should wear black more often, that suits you so well." I smiled, my voice light and encouraging.

I need to build a friendly atmosphere here because I have to spend this evening with her, after all.

"I bet he’d be taken with you,” I murmured under my breath but she heard me.

I just wanted to see the reaction she would give to me. It was the bait I needed to reel her in.

Elvira’s expression changed as the allure of my suggestion sunk in.

“Are you sure you want to do this?" she asked bitterly, looking straight into my eyes, and I smiled assuringly.

Of course, I am sure. I want this darling...! More than anything else. I wasn't this sure in my life.

“Yes, I am. Why not? You’re beautiful, and you have that charm in you," I said, emphasizing the truth behind my words, though I meant them in a different context.

She smirked proudly. She always believed that she was more beautiful than me and I am glad she does.

"It's good to have someone for this. He won’t be able to resist,” I thought to myself.

"You won't be having a chance with Logan if he sees me," she added, and I literally wanted to laugh out loud but controlled myself.

I don't want that damned chance with him, darling. I wish I could just disappear somewhere.

"I will be happy for you if that happens, dear," I said, being as friendly as I can ever be.

"It's your choice then. Don't blame me...” she said proudly, her voice filled with narcissism. This girl knows how to get on someone's nerves.

It's not like I want her to suffer. I just gave her a chance and it's completely her own choice.

I just hope that Logan would choose her instead of me, as he isn't pleased with me.

“You look too good, of course, better than me in every aspect. You deserve it.” I said sitting quietly after that.

Her face lit up at my words, and for a moment, I saw the glimmer of ambition ignite in her eyes.

She never saw him, I wondered what she would do after seeing that damned handsome face of his.

She was already picturing herself with a wonderland prince, perhaps even imagining what it would be like to be a part of the prestigious Davis family.

Good for her...! I just wish her the best of luck..!

We drove through the twinkling city roads straight to the address that Dad had forwarded to me. I looked outside the window and my jaw dropped.

"Heavens Garden..."

"Isn't it a nightclub? Why did you bring us here?" I asked the driver and he didn't respond.

According to what Dad said, Logan threw a party for youngsters and after the party, there will be a family gathering at the Davis Mansion. But he never told me anything about where the party was being held.

Looking at the sparkling nightclub, I felt a bit awkward. I never stepped into a place like this before. Elvira, on the other side was jumping in excitement as we got down.

"Wow..."

"Is the party here? No doubt they are the richest family in the city" she exclaimed and I looked at her, she was so excited.

"I was asked to escort you here, Ma'am," the driver finally said, bowing respectfully, indirectly asking for his leave.

I nodded and he left us before the closed doors of the nightclub.

"Let's get in..." Elvira rushed over but I stopped as my phone buzzed in my purse.

"Wait here, Elvira, let me take this call," I said while taking out my phone to see. I thought it was Dad who called me to ask where I was, but the name flashed on the screen, almost jolted me.

Mr. Nathan Davis...! My ex-boss.

Why is he calling me, now?

Without letting him wait any longer, I answered.

"Hello Sir" Ignoring my greetings, he barked instantly.

"Where are you?" his cold tone echoed in my ears.

"I...I...am..." I stuttered, unable to say where exactly I was. I don't know if he is inside the nightclub, too, because with his personality, he would never enter a filthy place like this.

Why did he call me by the way?

"Sir..." I was about to ask him but he cut me off,

"Do you remember, the Arizona project"

He called me because of work, of course. A workaholic like him would only think about the projects and deals all the time.

"Yes, Sir" I retorted immediately.

"Do you have any files with you?" he asked.

I paused recalling about the project. As I left the job at a very short notice, he couldn't hire a new secretary, and I couldn't hand over the work to someone else entirely.

"I still have the files in a pen drive," I replied.

"Good, bring it to me" he commanded and I was dumbfounded.

Wait...! What...! Now?? I literally wanted to yell at him for the very first time that I am not his employee anymore, but I don't know why my words always get stuck in my throat when I am talking to him.

"But sir...!" I tried to protest but he, of course, didn't let me complete.

"Right now..." he yelled a command above his lungs and I didn't know what to do. Sighing internally, I replied.

"Okay sir, I will be right there"

Hanging up the phone, I turned to look at Elvira only to find her gone already.

That girl was so desperate to show off. I called her but her phone was out of reach.

I was so annoyed that I wanted to smash that girl's face.

Didn't I say to wait here for me?

Why did she go in, all by herself?

Stupid girl...!

Should I just leave her here?

Damn it...! I have to inform her, at least.

Slamming my foot on the floor, I walked inside, hesitatingly.

There wasn't a single soul let alone any guards at the entrance. I stepped inside, supeciously. The way to the dance floor was dark and I couldn't hear anything from there.

I walked in further, and soon, my whole self shivered when I saw the scene unfolding before me.

"Damn...! It's indeed a trap...!!"

    Author's point of view... The morning sun slipped in through the half-open curtains, casting warm stripes across the silky white sheets. Birds chirped faintly outside the window, but inside the room, everything was still. Ericka stirred slightly, her lashes fluttering open. Her head ached faintly, her body heavy as if she’d just come out of a dream. She blinked several times, trying to register where she was. "Soft sheets… expensive scent… wait… silk robe?" Her eyes widened as she slowly sat up, finding herself wrapped in nothing but a man’s black silk robe that hung loosely around her shoulders. "What the—?!" before she could realise, the words slipped out of her mouth. She stared at her arms, at her bare legs peeking from beneath the robe. No clothes…! A drop of cold sweat dripped down her forehead. As she tried to remember, her head spun but still... no memory of changing into these by herself… Her mind raced, still foggy from the night before. Then she turned her head.

    Nathan gritted his teeth. He had only looked away for a minute and now the woman in his arms was drunk. Completely, utterly drunk. And it was clearly his fault for not being quick enough. “Hi handsome!!” Ericka giggled again, poking his cheek this time. “Your face… it’s so… sculpted… Did someone carve you from marble?” she mumbled, half awake and half asleep. Nathan cursed under his breath. He glared daggers at Luke who was chuckling at his predicament. “Luke, what the hell did you give her? What did she drink?” he snapped, his arms tightening protectively around her as she swayed forward again. She grabbed his chin and tilted his face on either sides. "You are so handsome! But why would you carry that poker face everywhere?" Ericka asked, pouting. Luke couldn't hold himself back and burst into laughter. Nathan's glare intensified and Luke immediately grasped the situation. He held up both hands in mock innocence. “I swear I gave her a mocktail. But she must’ve grabbed

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 92 Jealous!!

    Author's point of view... Just as Ericka wanted to leave, Luke appeared beside her, having just come out of the restroom. His face beamed with excitement when he saw her. His plan was on its way to success. But something seem to be off. He saw her frozen by the door. “Ericka…” he said excitedly but the woman before him was so shocked to respond. He followed the line of her gaze and was stunned. A blonde was sitting on Nathan's lap. "Wait!! What?? A stripper on Nathan's lap??" he was as stunned as Ericka because this never happened in the past. Though there were many girls around them, Nathan never let any of them near him. Then what was going on?? "Ericka... that....was...." he muttered, panic rising in his voice. He never expected that his friend might be engaged in something like that when his wife finally showed up. He immediately stood before her, blocking her view. “You—You’re here already.” He looked at the expression on Ericka's face and his mind concoqeted anothe

    Author's point of view... Ericka was so tensed that she ran out of the auditorium and started looking for a cab. She didn't even bother asking for her payment either. She thought she could just ask Paul afterwards. As she waited for any means of transport to arrive, she nervously tried to switch on her phone at least once, to send a message to inform her whereabouts. At least, she could send a text to notify Nathan that she is coming back. Last time, when she ignored his calls, there were consequences that had to face. She wasn't ready for another tragic encounter with him. But just as she stood there, a voice jolted her from behind. “Texting your boyfriend to pick you up?” Startled, she spun around. “Mr. Grant!” He stood right behind her with his hands in his pockets, his eyes scanning her. “I’m surprised a woman like you actually has a boyfriend..." he added sarcastically, Ericka held back her urge to roll her eyes. "I suppose men have a weird taste these days

    Author's point of view... Robert Grant remained silent for several long seconds increasing the tension in the air. Time seemed to stretch as everyone stayed frozen, waiting for his verdict. Then finally, his eyes darted from the models to the girl standing there nervously and as if surprising everyone around him, he chuckled. A pair of slight dimples graced his cheeks, adorning his handsome features even more. If he was handsome before, he looked other worldly with that smile. “I honestly didn’t expect you to have any real skills.” he commented and everyone was dumbfounded. That wasn't just a comment but a praise coming out of that arrogant man's mouth and this might be their first time in their entire life that Mr. Grant, the famous Robert Grant, praised someone. “Huh?” Ericka blinked in confusion. Is he really smiling? Did he just admit his defeat? Paul let out a loud sigh of relief as he walked over with his hands flowing upwards. “Bravo!" his dramatic yelp brought e

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 89 They were so much alike!!

    Author's point of view... Robert Grant smirked. "Don't be so eager to agree!" he said with a warning in his tone. Ericka frowned. Paul was so taken aback by her attitude that he turned pale and quickly pulled her back, whispering urgently, “Erika, You can’t talk to him like that. You must not. He once fired more than a dozen makeup artists in a single month and those who offended him are still suffering a great loss!” “I don’t care.” she smacked without thinking. Ericka looked back at Mr. Grant. He raised an eyebrow, amused. "Fine! If you are desperate to accept this challenge, I can't help it" Ericka was starting to get annoyed. That arrogant man was willing to lose his precious event just to win over her. What a fool! She didn't say a word which made him grit his teeth. He thought she would be terrified by now and would beg him for mercy but she didn't budge. He continued his warnings, "If you lose you would have to work as a janitor for me for your entire
