บททั้งหมดของ The Billionaire's Entrapment : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

"Greetings, Mr. Winter. I apologize for our impoliteness."Elisha bowed in a smooth motion and spoke softly. It was nearly impossible for anyone not to be too impressed with her."I was just a little surprised because since we arrived, no one has come to greet us or even say hello. Even the servants didn't care about us, which made me think we had come to the wrong place. As I know, it is impossible to think that the residence of the Winter family, which is famous for its prowess, could not properly educate its servants."Elliott's eyebrows were twitching. He didn't feel pleased with the words that the servants in his residence had been misbehaving."Then, who are you? Why did you come when I didn't invite you?""I—""I was the one who brought her here, Sir."Alex stood beside Elisha. He was back, hugging her waist as if it was automatic."I did invite her on purpose because I thought you would be happy to meet my lovely wife.""Wife?"Even Elliott's words trembled.There was a noise.

"Don't throw yourself in front of me, Elisha." He whispered, touching Elisha's hair again. "Or I won't be able to think logically anymore." Elisha blinked. She didn't understand what Alex was saying at all. "Please, don't betray me. If you cheat on me, you’ll face a terrible fate.” Alex saw that Elisha instantly held her breath. “Alex, are you going to kill me?” “No way. How could I kill a lovely woman like you.” Alex had a very sarcastic tone. "I'm going to break one of our agreements, Elisha." "Wha—" “Follow common sense. What do a bride and groom do when they get married?” Elisha shut her mouth. Alex then spoke in a sweetly friendly tone. "But the situation will certainly be different. You will continue to be trapped above my bed, Elisha. Your body will completely belong to me without you being able to think about anything else." Elisha’s eyes shook. It was visible she was trying to calm down. "So, I hope we will always be in the same boat. Hm?" Elisha nodded. She d

As Elisha had expected, her dinner with the Winters had been atrocious. How could she swallow food when the main course served was hatred and suspicious glances? "So, you are, er— 'Miss I don't know who'?" Diora smiled slyly and talked to Elisha. "Shouldn't you have introduced yourself earlier? Well, that is, if you understand manners." 'Clang!' "Manners?" Bellona certainly didn't miss the chance. "Oh, Diora. Dear. What do you mean by manners?" Diora chuckled for no apparent reason. "The Winter family is very decent. So, all his family members must have understood the concern of manners well. But—" She glanced at Elisha, still smiling. "Of course, it is impossible to generalize with someone who is not a family member. So, there's no need to compare." Diora would probably still be laughing if only Alex didn't interrupt her. "I wonder how old Auntie is?" Diora's forehead creased, and her expression of displeasure was on her face. "What do you want? Why are you suddenly

Elisha restrained herself from turning and looking at Alex. But from the firm grip on her hand, it was clear that Alex was also trying to be patient. "Thank you for your attention, Ms. For me, it was the most heartfelt thing today. I'm so touched by it." Elisha decided to end this drama that was increasingly draining her patience instantly. She answered with a calm voice and a detached manner. Elliott's eyes became sharpened. He felt it could not be wrong to observe how this would all play out. He then glanced at Alex. Elliot was also surprised by Alex, who could stay calm like now. He knew that Diora's words were very far from reality, and usually, Alex would be emotional in response. 'It's impossible, isn't it, if Alex behaves because he has his wife?' Elliott thought about it more deeply. 'I knew that he wasn't someone who would do anything for a woman. So, my thinking just now is very unreasonable.' "But— but I—" Diora was still sobbing and sobbing again. "What else th

"I need you because I need a wife, Elisha.""What?""For my grandfather, the ability to lead a person can be seen from how he manages his family. Therefore, one of the requirements to participate in the competition to become the next heir was that person must be married.""But, Alex—""I know you just want to say I could have chosen another woman, right?""Sure. You have a bunch of lovers that you can choose—""There are, indeed, many women around me, but I can't have a simple preference for any woman to be my wife.""That's—""Many of them were women sent by my uncles and aunts. They sent some to spy on me and others to kill me. Elisha, how would you feel if, after making love, it turned out that your partner intended to stick a knife in your heart?""I don't know— I mean, I never—""I know that you are not that kind of girl. When holding a knife, you prefer to aim it at your neck.""Alex, that's not what I'm meaning. It's just—""I've started to forget my desire to be heir to this f
