All Chapters of Trapped In Shackles : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The female manager glared at the woman who she assumed to be talking nonsense. Her eyes darkened as her lips pursed in annoyance. She darted her gaze to the handsome man hoping he would help her but his words literally made her dumbfounded."Manager," Terrence mumbled, eyeing her name tag on the right side of her chest."Torres," The manager chimes in with a seductive smile."Yes, Manager Torres, I would really like to know how you end as the manager of this store?" He huffed, harboring a huge breath as he said. "As far as I could remember, all the branches of our stores are equipped with men managers, so tell me who put you in this position?"*I… I…" Miss Torres stammered nervously, lowering her head. How could she tell that she managed to get into the position by using a woman's trick?Athena frowned and looked at her husband. "So the branch belongs to you too?"He nodded. "Yeah. We

Two days had passed since the couple isolated themselves from the city and stayed in the beach house. It seemed that their lives were peaceful as no occurrence of nuisances managed to ruin their quality time together. Hannah didn't call him and Mike didn't call her either. It's strange that those people both went just silent like they had forgotten their existence the whole time.Aside from cooking and eating sumptuous meals numerous times within the day, Terrence and Athena were enjoying strolling on the beach during sunset while holding each other's hands. Since Athena was suffering constant headaches, Terrence took his full time to tend and assist her to whatever she desires to do. He also multiplies his time to tend to important documents at the study when she's taking a nap in their room during the afternoon.Today was the third day of their stay in the beach house and Athena seemed to be fine in his observation which makes him feel at ease. After having their breakfast together,

Athena was sent on her ward for further observation later that night. Anton and Pamela stayed with her whilst Ashley and Sam were sent home by Anton's driver to secure their safety but before that, he talked to his sister's best friend and pacified him. Telling him that the accident was nothing to do with him and that he shouldn't blame himself for it. He also told the two that he would send his men to look into it and investigate the whole matter secretly to discover the culprits behind it. He tried to call Terrence but the latter's mobile phone was off and couldn't be reached. It was then that he recollected that his friend was out of the country for an urgent business trip.The following day…"Ugh!" Athena started to groan in pain while clutching her head. She finally regained her consciousness but her eyes were tightly shut. She tried to move but her body seemed to be so heavy that she failed to shift into another position.Pamela is closer to Athena's bed thus the latter was qui

A country…The sky was clear yet the surroundings remained freezing cold. Last night, it was snowing heavily. The streets were covered with frost. Terrence stirred into another position, reaching for his blankets to cover himself. His eyes snapped wide open when his palm touched something warm. His head jerked to his side and found a woman. Her creamy back displayed in his view. He suddenly jumped out of his bed, alarmed and baffled. He looked down, checking on his lower part of the body. He was still wearing his jeans. He sighed in relief. He was certain that nothing had happened between him and the woman but her appearance in his room still made him confused.'Where the hell did this woman come from?' he thought furiously to himself.He tried to recall what happened last night.*** flashback ***After his hours of flight, Terrence directed himself to ADAMS International branch without further delay. The agreement between him and his wife was pushed aside as he planned to call her w

The following day at around afternoon, Athena was discharged from the hospital. Assisted by Ashley, she went to her godfather's mansion to see him and might as well stay for her full recuperation.She was still looking weak and pale but her emitted aura seemed off. She exuded a cold and intimidating stance when her eyes swept over the entire living room where Mr. Monroe's bodyguards are currently stationed. She had an indifferent look showcased on her face as she stormed into the massive room."Where is he?" She asked, facing Ashley, with a slight frown in her face."He was probably somewhere dealing with some other stuff. Why don't we go upstairs first and let you rest for a while?" Ashley suggested."Okay. Let's go up." She mumbled shortly then they proceeded to go up. They arrived in her usual occupied room after a few minutes.Athena dragged a strangled breath upon entering her room. Everything inside was new to her sight but it was refreshing. She finds the room's ambiance relax
