All Chapters of Trapped by the cold billionaire: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Eliana Brown~•~“What the hell, James?” I spat out, feeling even worse than I felt when I left the house this morning. “You said you were certain I’d get it.” Everyone was sure it’d be me. I’d gotten congratulations this morning and it made me take my mind off the fact that Harry was cheating.James, our department manager, winced. He felt guilty but that wasn’t good enough. I was still a sales associate and a random person was the assistant manager. “I know, Anna, but this was out of my control as well. She knows our boss.”I gritted my teeth. James wasn’t a bad person. In fact, he was friendly with us all, but I’d been looking forward to this promotion for months. I’d been working harder than ever to make sure the spot was mine. Everyone else thought I deserved it, apart from the said boss, apparently.I had never seen the boss. With a department store as big as the one I was currently working in, it was only natural she had other business that required more of her attention, but I

Eliana Brown~•~We were on the side of the road and passersby stared at us like we were crazy. The tears flowed freely and my sobs became harder that it was even hard to breathe. I tried to stop but I only ended up crying even more. I tried to level my breathing but it was no use. It felt like the world was closing in on me.I leaned against the wall, trying to steady myself since it seemed like my legs couldn’t carry me anymore. “Are you okay?” The stranger asked.I looked at him through my lashes but I could barely make out his face through my blurry vision. I inhaled and exhaled. I tried to count. I tried to list what I could see, and what I could feel, but my brain was blank. It was only good for replaying every bad thing that had happened to me today; my five-year-old relationship was gone, and my five-year-old employment was gone. I was forced to apologize to a thief. All in one day.I crouched to the ground and covered my ears with my hands. It was too loud, but I couldn’t h

Eliana Brown~•~“What the fuck?” Catherine exclaimed. “You can’t be serious. All those bad things can’t happen to a person in one day.”I sighed and collapsed on the couch. “I thought the same.”After leaving my former apartment last night, I’d come straight to Catherine’s house. While I had other friends, they weren’t close enough for me to show up to their place unannounced, but the problem was that Catherine lived with her boyfriend so I had to crash on the couch.She allowed me to have a good rest before waking me up this morning to question me.“What are you going to do now?” She asked, looking concerned.“I don’t know. I have to find a job and an apartment as soon as possible and I don’t even know where to start.”Finding a job was hard as hell and finding a cheap apartment was even harder. Even the smallest apartments were very expensive and it was rare to find a landlord that wasn’t greedy.I inhaled deeply. I fucked up by letting Harry take advantage of me like that. He shou

William Caddel~•~“I don’t think the wheelchair is necessary.”“Shut up,” I said easily. Her knee was hurting badly and she was limping. If the wheelchair wasn’t present, she’d have to lean on me and I didn’t want her to touch me.She remained quiet as I rolled her wheelchair out of the hospital. When we got to my car, I stared at her and she stared back at me. I exhaled. I guess I’d have to touch her anyway?However, before I could carry her out of the chair and into the car, she held onto the side of the car and stood up by herself. I breathed in relief as she closed the door after entering the car. It wasn’t like she repulsed me or anything. I just couldn’t afford physical contact with her. It was dangerous for me.As I rounded the car to enter from the other door, my driver came out to take the wheelchair back in.“No offense but, you’re pretty rude, you know that, right?” She asked while we waited for George to come back.“If you think it’s going to be offensive, then it’s best

Eliana Brown~•~“I don’t ever want to leave, Anna,” Catherine said dramatically.“Well, you are coming with me whether you like it or not.” I continued dragging her by the arm.She dug her feet into the ground, making it harder for me to pull her along with me. I hissed and pulled her even harder. “No, Eliana. I don’t want to leave.”“Girl, you’re coming back anyway! It’s just groceries.”Catherine smiled sheepishly. “Fine.”I rolled my eyes at her and finally let go of her hand when she didn’t seem reluctant to leave anymore. Catherine had helped with packing my things and unloading them into the new apartment. The problem was that she was in love with the apartment which was why she started acting dramatic when I told her to follow me to get groceries.Since I didn’t have much to offload, I spent less than two hours on it. The apartment was already nicely furnished so I didn’t have to do too much to it. I just made a mental note to add a few flowers and paintings to make the place
