All Chapters of Trapped by the cold billionaire: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Eliana Brown~•~My first day of work was quite bland.After they showed me around, they took me to my desk and left me there for the rest of the day. I felt like an intern all over again. Everyone was busy and I just had to sit there and stare.Not wanting to look idle, I turned on the computer in front of me and started browsing through several sites, trying to learn more about 3D printing.Before five, the desks started to empty one after the other. It was the end of the day but I didn’t know whether I could leave or not. The head of the sales department was still in his office and I hadn’t been productive throughout the day.I let out a sigh and shut down the computer, looking around when I got a text on my phone. Grateful for the distraction, I quickly checked it.[William: you done?][Me: I guess][William: you guess? I have to work for one more hour. I’m in a meeting. I’ll come pick you up when I’m done. Can you wait?]We just talked about the possibility of being seen earlier

William Caddel~•~“We are all friends and we share everything with each other, but somehow, Will made the decision to get married without telling any of us.” “If he hadn’t spoken about it in front of me, I never would have known.”“And if you didn’t tell, I’d be in the dark up till now.”The two of them paused and stared at me, waiting for me to say something. When I didn’t, George scoffed. “Of course, he doesn’t even care that he hid it from us.”I let out a breath. I didn’t hide shit from them. Duke was my secretary and George drove me around sometimes. They knew almost everything going on in my life and I never had to relay it to them. I wasn’t used to telling them my business because I knew they would find out about it eventually.“Are we invited at least?”“No.” I finally spoke up.“Why the fuck not?” Duke exclaimed.“I told you it’s not a big deal. Grandpa is the only one invited. We’re only getting married because of him.”“Not a big deal?” George snorted. “The woman you’ve b

William Caddel~•~Eliana was officially my wife. She didn’t change her last name for obvious reasons but that didn’t take away the fact that she was legally mine. Well, she was mine in every sense of the word. She just didn’t know that yet.Since it wasn’t a huge ceremony, she had spent the previous day moving into my penthouse. It was a Friday and I had work but for the first time in a while, I took a day off to be able to help her with moving in.She didn’t have to buy furniture for the apartment downstairs so moving wasn’t much of a problem for her. The only things she had to pack were her personal things like clothes, body care, flowers, and the rest. She didn’t sleep in my house that night though. She slept at her apartment and went straight to my grandfather’s house this morning to start getting ready for the wedding.It was our wedding night and the first day we would be living together as a married couple. We sat across from each other, staring. I knew it was awkward for her

Eliana Brown~•~I didn’t think things through when I jumped away from William.I was so close to falling and hitting my head on the table when his hand came around my waist and pulled me even closer to him.My scream faded into a gasp at our proximity. Had he been awake all this while? Why did he pretend to be asleep? I needed to dig a hole and bury myself as soon as possible! I was mortified. My cheeks were flaming red. How did I find new ways to embarrass myself in front of him every time?“Are you good?” His morning voice was even deeper than his normal voice and the raspiness caught me off guard.I nodded ferociously and moved away from him, still sitting on the couch because my legs were shaky as fuck.I stared at the table and saw the bottle of wine we had shared last night. I had drank most of it. Was that why I ended on him last night? Who slept off first? What happened? Did I do anything stupid?I looked at him, wanting to ask what happened last night but I didn’t want to em

Eliana Brown~•~After six weeks at my workplace, my superior no longer thought I didn’t deserve the job. Well, he still thought the same but he was killing me with work so that had to mean something, right?The company had been in existence for almost five years and I was told to sort out the files of all the hospitals we had worked with. I didn’t know why and I wasn’t very certain it was in my job description but I couldn’t outrightly say no.There were heaps and heaps of files and I wasn’t sure I would be done anytime soon. It was times like this that I regretted working in such a serious company. At a department store, I had nothing to do with files. Then again, that was the reason the pay was so high, wasn’t it? When I received my first paycheck at the end of my first month, I was astonished. I knew what the salary would be like but somehow it still surprised me when it hit my bank account.It was already six o’clock, an hour past closing time yet I wasn’t close to being done. Mo
