All Chapters of Trapped By The Cold-Hearted Billionaire: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

“No, I just need to go back to work,” Danielle responded as she gave Sky a small smile which she didn’t return.“Then-” Before Easton could speak, Scarlet was standing before him,“Hey, can you spare a minute?” She asked, keeping her hands in her pocket as her heart pounded hard in her chest. It was like they were back to their first encounter where she was walking on eggshells. This is the man who couldn’t keep his hands off her even when he hated her so what changed so much that he was avoiding her like a damn plague?“I’m sorry, I have to go.” He responded, about to turn when Scarlet held his hand.“Then, I’ll just say what needs to be said right here. Is that what you want?” She crossed her arms.“We can speak outside,” Easton responded and turned to walk out.“Don’t you dare follow them!” Sky leaned in and whispered to Danielle.“You don’t understand, Sky. He-”“I don’t give two shits what you’re working on. Stay away from him out of office.” Sky responded, “And to think I stood

“Grab all the medications he once received. I want them tested in the lab.” Kai instructed the workers.“What do you think you’re doing?” Danielle asked, looking around the way they had turned Easton’s bedroom upside down in search of what she didn’t know about.“The best person to ask is the one behind you.” Kai responded and continued what he was doing.Danielle turned, but before she could speak a word, a slap landed on her cheek, followed by the puling of her hair.“Sky!” She cried, “Why are you-”“We know what you did. How you faked the diagnosis and every little shitty thing you did. Pray that no permanent damage has been done to my brother because I will cut you from limb to limb.”“Let her go, Sky.” Micheal demanded. “For now I will!.” She pushed her hard, sending her body against the wall, breaking her shoulder in the process. Danielle held onto it as she cried in pain.“Why are you doing this?” Tears rolled down her face.Micheal threw a number of documents in her face. His

A week earlier...Easton groaned as he opened his eyes, the sterile white of the hospital room coming into focus. His head throbbed, and his body felt like it had been hit by a freight train. He struggled to sit up, but a firm hand on his shoulder stopped him.“Take it easy,” Michael’s voice was leveled, but you could hear how relieved he was that his brother was now awake. Micheal, Sky, and Henry all stayed in the hospital without leaving, waiting for Easton to wake up. “You’re lucky to be alive, Easton. You need to rest.”Easton ignored the advice, his mind racing. “Scarlet...” he rasped, his voice hoarse. “Where is she? Is she okay?”Michael’s expression tightened, a flicker of hesitation crossing his face. “She’s fine, Easton. Physically, at least. But... a lot has happened.”The tension in Michael’s voice made Easton’s stomach churn. “What do you mean? What happened? Fuck! My head is spinning. How long have I been out?” He reached upwards and touched the band aid that had bee

“You really don’t have to do this, I feel so terrible for doing this to you, my dear,” Matilda said, holding out the crown to hold her veil in place. She sat next to Scarlet on the bed, both facing the mirror standing in front of them. “We didn’t search high and low just for you to end up in a loveless marriage, Scarlet.” “It’s okay.” Scarlet forced a smile. “There was no one before Dante anyway, so loving him will be easier, right?” She lied, but she didn’t know if she was saying that out loud for herself or her mother.The line of who she was trying to convince had blurred. She felt like her parents were good people, and although they abandoned her, she understood why they had no other choice but to do it. They had made some bad financial decisions and had to make up for them. The crime family they ended up entangled with was Dante’s enemy, so if they could unite through a marriage alliance, their powers and influence would be ten times more effective. It’s why Dante started search

The church fell silent, and everyone remained glued to their seats. No one dared to move, and everyone held their breaths. Scarlet’s heart raced, her palms sweaty as she stared at him, standing there like he owned the world even in a hospital gown.Her mind went wild, and she couldn't for the life of her understand what came over him. Her father was now standing, looking at Scarlet waiting to hear from her. “Security !” Dante growled. But no one dared to move. No one would dare lay a finger on Easton black. They remained stationed, and this angered Dante even more. Easton smirked as he walked forward. “Scarlet, Darling. ” Easton began, his voice soft and pleading, “I know I’ve messed up before. I know I’ve hurt you in ways I’ll never forgive myself for. But I can’t let you go through with this. Not when I love you.”Gasps rippled through the crowd, followed by a hushed buzz of murmurs. Dante’s lips twisted into a sardonic smile, his composure beginning to crack.“Love?” Dante’s v
