The Billionaire's Trap THIRTY TWO
CHAPTER THIRTY TWO**Faith frowned at her reflection in the mirror, her palms cupped her cheeks as the crease lines on her face grew even deeper. Why did it feel as though she was gaining some weight lately?Perhaps she'd had a healthy appetite for the last few weeks? Squeezing herself earlier into the lacy black gown had been a little tough and she had made a mental note to start dieting, or maybe it was time to hit the gym. Reapplying some lipstick to enhance her lips, she arranged some strands of hair that had fallen out of place. Faith walked out of the bathroom, she couldn't go missing for too long. Tonight was the celebration of the company's thirtieth anniversary and there were a lot of important guests. She'd always accompanied Sterling Hunter as his assistant, and this year was no different. She returned to the slightly crowded hall, her eyes spotted Sterling, he was speaking with some business associate. The waiter started to pour her a drink which she gladly accep
The Billionaire's Trap CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
CHAPTER THIRTY THREE**Mondays were exhausting as usual, it always seemed to be the longest of all the days.Frequent meetings, fixing appointments, and summing up the previous week's data. It was something Faith would never get used to despite her years of working at the office. She hurriedly walked towards the cafeteria, even though it was her coffee break, she still had a lot of workload to be completed. "___ you might be w_wrong! Tell me you're joking!" Faith heard Darla's familiar high-pitched voice. "I certainly heard it right! Remember, that famous reporter? I told you I overheard some parts of their conversation, do you think she really got married to the boss?"Faith froze at the doorway. She stared from Darla to Yvonne, there were some other colleagues present as well. There were gossiping openly about the one thing she had strived the most to be kept hidden."Now, you are reaching! Why would Mr. Hunter tie the knot with that ugly slut! I don't believe you and I also

CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR**"What did you do! Why did you say that back there!" Faith yelled, shock and disbelief coursed through her. After Sterling had dropped the bomb, he'd led her more like dragged her out of the cafeteria, he didn't head towards his office, but rather, to his car which was parked outside. "Where are you taking me?! You haven't answered me! He led them to the back seat of the unmoving car, and she tugged her hand free. Faith held his stare, still demanding an explanation. His response came, but it wasn't the answer she needed."Did you always tolerate them speaking to you like that? You didn't appear very surprised, today isn't the first time, is it?" "That's not what I'm talking about__" She started but was cut short when Sterling inched closer so their thighs were just brushing. The entire car was too small. She was all but surrounded by his presence. He grabbed her hand once again and she winced. "Well, this is what I want to talk about, and you will answ
The Billionaire's Trap THIRTY FIVE
CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE**Faith splashed cold water across her face repeatedly, her eyes met her reflection in the mirror, and a crease formed between her brows. . Mornings were always a delight for her because she was always so energetic, but for the last couple of days, it didn't seem to be so. She always woke up with a headache and seemed to lack the appetite for anything. She cupped her face with her palms, she wasn't sick but at the same time, she wasn't feeling alright. Her eyes spotted the glittering necklace on her neck and lingered. Even though Sterling was away, he'd never failed to daily send all sorts of gifts to her, while she loved and cherished everything he gave her, she wasn't quite satisfied. She needed the man himself. Was she falling only ill because she was missing him terribly? Was that even possible? For the first time since they got married, Faith had to experience how lonely the huge house could be. It felt so cold.Maybe it was he who ruined her, n
The Billionaire's Trap THIRTY SIX
CHAPTER THIRTY SIX**She had stared at the pictures and phone number almost for the rest of the afternoon. The decision on what to do had been made for her when Julian returned from the university that evening. Faith told him everything and he'd been hell-bent on finding out who it was."Have you tried dialing the number?""No, not yet." Faith replied. "I guess that's where we have to start from, put it on speaker." Faith held her breath as she grabbed her phone and punched the numbers, seconds later it started to ring. She met Julian's stare, wondering if she had made the right choice as he had suggested. Her heart gave a slight pound when the answer came from the other side. "Hello?" The feminine voice greeted. For some reason, Faith hadn't expected it to be a woman, not only that, but the voice also sounded kind of familiar."Why did you send those pictures to me?" She decided to go straight to the point. "I knew you'd definitely call, I just didn't think you would wait
The Billionaire's Trap THIRTY SEVEN
CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN**Faith slowly regained consciousness, the first thing her brain registered was the strong nauseating smell of antiseptics. Her eyes fluttered open and she slowly looked around. Confusion kicked in as she realized she seemed to be in a hospital. She tried to suddenly sit up and had to wince at the prickling pain, an IV needle was connected to her hand. How the hell did she end up here? She thought. It took only three seconds for the memories to come rushing. She stiffened on the bed, the coldness spreading across her skin, penetrating through her bones. She had found it weird that in all the banks she approached, none had agreed to grant her the loan, she had also failed to acquire a new job, but why would all these be related to Sterling? Faith bit her lips sharply, she desperately wanted to trust Sterling, he'd been the only person to arrange her crumbling life, always had been there when she needed him. She stared at the wedding band around her finger,
The Billionaire's Trap THIRTY EIGHT
CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT**The mansion was grave silent when Sterling returned.It wasn't the welcome Sterling had expected when he decided to return some hours earlier, he'd wanted to give Faith the surprise, and also because he fucking missed her!He was impatient to know her response, she should have gotten enough time to think about it so it would appear as though he was pressuring her. Sterling roamed around the large empty house wearing a deep frown. She was nowhere to be found. He was restless with the feeling that something wasn't right. The air exhibited a sort of coldness that only accelerated his distress. He decided to dial her cellphone once again, the result was the same. Her cellphone was turned off. Anxiety made his heart pump faster, he inhaled deeply and tried to convince himself that he was overthinking, that she was probably just gone for a stroll or something, but none of the means to divert his thought seemed to be working. A low frustrating curse escaped h
The Billionaire's Trap THIRTY NINE
CHAPTER THIRTY NINE **"Yes, you heard me, I want a divorce!" Faith heard his sharp intake of breath, the bedside lamp allowed her to see the hardening of his jaw, but her decision was made. Even though she wasn't sure if she was going to be alright without him, this was probably the better option for the both of them. "You are not allowed to casually say things like that, whatever that is wrong, we can both calmly sort it out?""Did you just say sort it out?" Faith flamed, getting off the bed to glare at him. "Where exactly do we start to sort it out? Perhaps all the lies you told me or the things you did behind my back, how dare you! You played me like a complete idiot!" Faith breathed angrily extending a hand to block him when he tried to step forward. "You turned my life upside down as you pleased, Who exactly do you think you are, Mr. Sterling Hunter!" She yelled. Sterling inhaled deeply, it was as he suspected. She found out something, he didn't know how much but conside
