The Billionaire's Trap CHAPTER FIFTY TWO
CHAPTER FIFTY TWO**Faith was discharged from the hospital three days later. It was simply difficult to comply with the doctor's orders to get sufficient rest, not with Sterling's threats constantly replaying in her head. Her heart managed to leap to her throat each time she recalled his exact words about her not seeing Maya again. He had sounded so confident that she would lose her rights to Maya.It upset and sickened her to think about the deceptive measures he might do to ensure she lost her daughter. She had to be prepared, but his actions like most times were unpredictable. She didn't have a clue what he might do next and it made her nerves squeeze in frustration. She would appear in court in two days after having complied with everything related to the drug testing requirements as was ordered by the judiciary. She had never done drugs in her entire life, the tests result would definitely turn out negative. Her lawyer, Mr. Sullivan had guaranteed her that once the evi
The Billionaire's Trap CHAPTER FIFTY THREE
CHAPTER FIFTY THREE**"Are we ready to begin?" The Judge asked, she was a woman who appeared to be in her early fifties or thereabouts. Faith released the deep breath she had been holding, she met Mr. Sullivan's stare who whispered solemnly."Do you remember all that I've told you? Seeking sympathy will boost your chance to win this case. You don't have to be scared." Faith swallowed nervously, trying to smile but it wobbled off. Mr. Sullivan had reminded her this morning that she might as well do anything that would help her win the case.Tears were her last weapon, he had told her to think about her daughter if she couldn't cry aloud. She didn't think she would be able to survive if she never saw Maya again. Her eyes chose to glance at that particular area of the courtroom. Sterling had arrived more than a few minutes ago after she did. She hated that she looked nervous while he appeared as though this was another business deal for him. Dressed in a charcoal grey suit, hi

CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR**Her brain refused to process the words.Faith's eyes remained stuck to the cold smile of her ex-husband. From the corner of her eyes, she saw that the Judge had already left, and most of the people were starting to disappear one after the other until the courtroom was already almost empty. That was when it sank deep into her brain. The court was dismissed. She'd lost. Jerked her fingers that had been grasping Sterling's shirt as though just being near his presence burned her skin. She couldn't lose everything just like this! She spotted Mr. Sullivan already walking towards the exit. Faith forced her legs to move to chase after him. He turned towards her, wearing a weary expression. "You assured me we were going to win! I_ I did exactly what you asked me to do, why did it turn out like this!" She voiced harshly. "I should ask you why you behaved like that earlier! It didn't matter how unfair you feel, you should have composed yourself! There was no need
The Billionaire's Trap CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE
CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE **Sterling ended the phone call and met Faith's glare from the rearview mirror, if looks could kill, her dagger-like gaze would have sent him six feet under. The tension in the car was intense, it was a realistic reminder of what he'd just done.He had his woman and their child with him, but at what cost? Was it pitiful that he had to use their newborn child to force his wife to return to him?He'd never always play fair, but he'd never felt so much like a bastard as he did right now, even knowing for certain that he would probably make the same decision again if the situation was repeated. The driver made a turn and Sterling watched Faith suddenly jump, she was staring outside the window before returning her glare to him. "Where are you taking me? This isn't the way to your house.""That's because we are not going to my house, at least for now, Maya is at my mother's place."Sterling recognized that look in her eyes, relief, and something else. Now that she
The Billionaire's Trap CHAPTER FIFTY SIX
CHAPTER FIFTY SIX**Her scent.Her taste.Her full breast pressed against his released the feral creature within him that had been starving to break free. She was curvier in more than one place than he remembered. Pregnancy had done this to her. And he hadn't been there to witness it. He sucked her lips hard, burying his fingers into her curls, as his tongue avenged all those nights he'd spent without her. Then, she bit him. She sank her teeth as hard as she could, hoping to hurt him enough to stop.He groaned, deepening the kiss. And she could feel the metallic taste on her tongue. Sick bastard! Faith tried to twist her head away from the force of the kiss, but it seemed impossible when he grabbed a fistful of her curls before he gave her another hungry kiss that completely knocked her breath awayHe knew the moment the fight slowly left her, a soft moan of surrender tore from her mouth, the grip her fingers had on his shirt loosening. Hot pleasure pumped through his vein
The Billionaire's Trap CHAPTER FIFTY SEVEN
CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN* *Nothing changed over the next few weeks. Faith tried as much as possible to avoid being alone with Sterling. It hadn't been that difficult when they had stayed with his mother. The more time she spent with him, the harder she had to fight to remain indifferent and cold. Her heart managed to clench each time she caught him playing with Maya. It made her crave for things she shouldn't. She would be a fool to give in to the illusion that they could ever be a normal family. The resentment she held towards him was the only thing she had. She would grasp onto it, she couldn't allow herself to forget the monster he could be. He might be a good father, but that didn't necessarily make him a decent human being. He was only nice when he wanted to be. He hadn't held any objections when she had informed him that she wanted to visit her mother but hated the fact that he had insisted on coming along with her. She didn't even have the freedom to visit her mother
The Billionaire's Trap CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT
CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT**Her breath quickened when her eyes locked onto Sterling's. His presence made everything else but him disappear from her head.Why was he here? His gaze held something as it shifted from her and then to Michael. She had left dinner early, did he follow her? How else did he know exactly where she was? Her uneasiness at his presence couldn't be compared to the dissatisfaction that spiked through Sterling at the sight of her carrying a toddler that he didn't recognize. He realized that he didn't want to see her with any other kid but his. ' My biggest regret is the fact that you are Maya's father, I could have done better for her! ' These words still rang in his mind, every day, it was almost like an alarm. She was so gentle with the toddler she was carrying, as though it was natural, As Sterling stared at Michael, he couldn't help but think if Faith thought Michael was a better father than he could ever hope to be. The thought fuelled his resentment towar
The Billionaire's Trap CHAPTER FIFTY NINE
CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE**They returned the next day.The weather outside was dark and cloudy as it had been raining all day. Maya had been crying all evening, Faith didn't know what was wrong with her, not even changing her diapers or breastfeeding her helped, her body temperature was quite normal and Faith couldn't get why her baby was so irritated, it took a lot of effort to finally get her to fall asleep. She was already so exhausted, it was dark and starting to rain outside, she had just taken a warm bath and all she wanted at this moment was to collapse on the inviting looking large bed.A brief flash of lightning was followed shortly by a rough chorus of thunder. "Oh no, not again!" Faith sighed, burying her face into the warm covers, soon enough, she could hear Maya's faint wail coming from her nursery, no doubt the sound must have woken her from her slumber.Sighing heavily, She slipped on her flip-flops and hurried out of the bedroom. The nursery door was partially opened
