All Chapters of Trapped By A Billionaire: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Gossip was spreading like wildfire. Now the office was in shamble. The staff caught the news about the plan for Alex’s dismissal only several minutes after the meeting concluded this afternoon. They were aware now that the office politics would likely take place several months ahead. And they were waiting anxiously on who would come up as a winner. They only knew how much the rivalry between the company's father and son could affect their work. Alexander understood the sentiment. But he acted stoically and put on his best poker face. He would compensate the employees once he rose as the winner and successfully put his father behind the bar. Rlex was in his office with Brandon and Sheila in tow. They were discussing the impact of today’s meeting and mapping out who could support Alex in

IRIS Iris felt a bit headache after the catfight with Julianne today. Her scalp throbbed because of the hard yank of her hair. Thankfully, her hair was fine. But not her pride. It was bruised because she–for the love of God–experienced the catfight because of man! Ridiculous! So, when she was finished for today and closed her shop, she planned to have a hot bath with chamomile tea to lessen the dull headache. She was startled when she got Sebastian leaning on his sports car and waited for Iris there. “What are you doing here?” She might sound ungrateful to him, but she was exhausted and wanted to go home. “C’mon, I will send you home,” he said while opening the passenger door. She frowned. “Thank you, but you don’t have to do that. I have my car.” Iris refused. She jiggled her key car before him and tried to bypass his big body. “No, let me,” he insisted. He took Iris’ forearm gently, asking her to stop and talk to him. “Then how about my car?” she asked in confusion.

Her head pounded so hard Iris had to wince and close her eyes again to lessen the pain. It took her several minutes to refocus and get in touch with what was happening to her. “Sir, she is awake,” she heard a voice from a distance. “Bring her in,” a hoarse, gritted voice replied, and in a minute, she was yanked from the soft cushion where she was laid. Her throbbing pain intensified when these men forcefully pulled her. “Hey!” But her mouth was closed by rough fabric and cutting off her voice. Iris’ body aches everywhere. Her shoulders, her hips, and every joint in her body hurt. Her eyes also blared, but she tried to focus and looked carefully at who dared to kidnap her. And now she had a clear look at who the culprit was. Jonathan Browning. Father of Alexander Browning. “Ms.. Denvier, sorry to take you by surprise like this,” his voice grated in her ears. Iris did not speak at all, only staring back at him defiantly. His henchmen put Iris down on the hard chair before Jonat

There was a slight display of stubbornness between Iris and Alex about where Iris should rest after the kidnapping. Iris was strong-willed and adamant that she returned to her home and let her friends warmly tend to her bruises. She was arguing with him when Sebastian’s men drove her. At first, those men followed Alex’s instructions, and they went in the direction of Alex’s penthouse. But she was livid and stubbornly against the idea. Iris even trashed in the car like a petulant child. “Either you take me back to my place, or I will jump out of this car!” she threatened the driver. The big guy did not like the threat but agreed and rerouted to Iris’ place. Rose and Elena only looked at each other when Iris acted

Alex won the debate with Iris about a bodyguard who now shadowed her 24 hours, seven days a week. He said no more catfights with Julianne nor kidnapping by his father. He had had enough, and he did not want to compromise for her safety. Of course, at first, Iris refused his idea. She thought that was a backward idea, and it felt stifling to have someone put an eye on her for every move. But that morning in her store, Sebastian backed him up and said she needed extra precautions. He finally won her, and he was a bit relieved and left Iris in her store and let her work as usual after the series of unfortunate events she had because of his insistence to make her his wife. “Can you close earlier, babe? I need you to come to the office. Sheila will pick you up later,” he said before he returned to the office and had a serious talk with his father. And also had to devise a mature plan with Sebastian to collect evidence more quickly on his father's involvement in the murder case that his
