All Chapters of A Game Of Deceit with the Billionaire: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

A groan slipped out of my lips, and I furrowed my forehead when I felt a burning sensation on my face. I tried to open my eyes, but the sunlights peeking through the glass windows caused me to shut them instantly. "What the heck?" I slowly opened my eyes to get them accustomed to the light while I rose with a banging headache. "What the fuck happened?" I asked with a foggy sight, and managed to make way to the counter where I dropped my phone."What?!" My eyes bulged when I looked at the time. "Why the fuck did no one wake me up?!" Ignoring the throbbing headache that threatened to split my head into two, I dashed into the bathroom. I didn't waste time in the shower, and the moment I came out, I picked out a white sleeved shirt and a royal blue trouser with a waist coat.After dressing up, I picked up my briefcase and latched a gold watch around my wrist."Why didn't anyone make me up?!" I yelled as I stormed out of the room and pulled up short in front of my butler, who only fidg

The question echoed in my head, putting me in a deep state of confusion. His gaze burnt my skin, causing me to lower my head."Can't you respond, cat got your tongue?" He asked, causing my head to move in his direction, and my eyes went straight to meet his grey orbs."You are, sir." I shivered on the spot as cold beads of sweat trailed down my head. My fingers folded against each other, and I felt a fat lump sitting in my throat. "You got us on the news." His hardened tone was now soft, but his glare made my skin to crawl. "I-" "Do not utter a word. You can not defend yourself." He rested his back against the pillow and picked up the remote, surfing through channels. "We are on every damn channel, Vanessa!" His eyes widened, and I could tell all hell broke loose as he spoke through gritted teeth."You were in need of medical attention, I couldn't let you die." "So you wanted me dead?" Tension hovered over us, thickening the air in the room."It's-It's not like-" I stammered; my

Another task?! I screamed inwardly, shooting stare daggers at him. "What? Can't handle it?" He teased with the upward tilt of his mouth. I dropped the basket on the table beside his bed, and with a sudden burst of courage, a smirk played at the corners of lips as I engaged him in an intense stare. "Trust me, my boss, before you was crazier than you are, and she didn't dare cross my path," I said through gritted teeth.Two can play this game. I thought to myself.He released his facial muscles and slightly enlarged his eyes for a millisecond."Is that a threat, and are you calling me crazy?" He glanced at me with a smirk now plastered on his face. "No, just telling you what I can do." I smiled even in my weak state."Good. I knew you were hardworking, that was why I employed you." He went back to eating his chicken, and I frowned."You'll pick up Snow from school and watch her the whole day till I'm discharged, which is probably in the evening. Also, you'll help with the arrangeme

"Snow, that was a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to -" I paused, taking in a deep breath and exhaled to calm down. "When you are all grown up, you'll understand." I rubbed her hair gently, but she was still wearing her frown."I'll tell Daddy you're disobeying his orders." She crossed her hands across her chest.Was I that stinky that this little child wanted me to go bath? I asked myself in my head, sniffing the air. "Daddy tells me to always freshen up after a long journey before we eat," She explained, and I nodded slowly."I will not eat unless you have your bath," She stated, and I gulped. She needed to eat before her Cole's arrival. I had no choice but to accept her proposal. "Okay. I'll bathe, but you will have to wait for him in the room." "Deal." She rushed into the bathroom.As soon as I heard the shower had been turned on, I rested my back on the pillow, and I drifted into sleep."Butterfly, butterfly." A small pair of hands rubbed gently on my stomach. I peeled my ey

"Clothes?" I shivered as I spoke,"Umm..." I was lost for words and didn't know what to say."Dad, I gave her your clothes. She had a bath and..." "It's okay, darling." He kissed his daughter, walking up the stairs.As he moved on the stairs, he paused and without looking at me, he asked me to meet him in his study after he was done taking his bath. "Wait for me in the living room that is up. I'll call you," He ordered before disappearing into the hallway.It was like I felt a blow in my stomach and I couldn't stop myself from over-thinking."Yes-yes, sir," I stammered, gazing at the driver who gave me a look that said, 'it's gonna be alright.'I nodded and gulped before slowly going up the stairs to wait for him. I didn't care what was going to happen, I was tired of everything-the punishments, the embarrassment, and just everything.***When I got into the study after his call, he was already seated behind his desk."Sir..." I spoke when I entered the office, but his hands indicat
