The Billionaire's Trap TWENTY NINE
CHAPTER TWENTY NINE**It was Jeb who walked inside. Faith recognized him, he was a senior in the marketing department. He was a cool guy and one of the few people who treated her sincerely. Faith had adjusted her clothes and hair as best as she could, she silently prayed that Jeb hadn't noticed anything. "You wanted to know when the product will arrive from LA, I think this will help to boost the supplies." He handed some files to Sterling, whose features were still hardened in a scowl. Faith watched as Jeb stared at her, the poor guy probably wondering what he had done wrong. The telephone rang and Sterling started to make some calls and Jeb walked over to Faith."Great to see that you're back to work again!" He whispered, smiling broadly. "Thank you!" Faith returned his smile, she felt a little more relaxed and less anxious that they were at least some people positive about her return."You've got some lipstick stains here."Faith's eyes widened at his words and she flushed
The Billionaire's Trap CHAPTER THIRTY
CHAPTER THIRTY**The gentle breeze stroked Faith's face as she mindlessly roamed the street where she used to live. A sigh escaped her mouth when she recalled how Dan used to be insecure and get jealous of Sterling. Now, Sterling was just the same, or perhaps even worse? Was this a men's problem? Faith wished she had enough experience to know. All day in the office, she had ensured that Sterling knew she was upset with him. She didn't speak to him unless it was work-related. Still, his stubborn heart wouldn't budge, it irked Faith so much that he even pretended not to notice that she was angry at him.Didn't he understand how restless and guilty her heart felt that an innocent man lost his job today because of her?Faith was walking aimlessly, she didn't expect to suddenly bump into a familiar face.It was her old friend, Natalie.The air suddenly turned awkward as Natalie approached. "You seem to be living well, after all." Faith didn't know how to respond to that, she also
The Billionaire's Trap CHAPTER THIRTY ONE
CHAPTER THIRTY ONE**"Sterling?" Faith was on the verge of sleep, but this conversation had been held back for too long, it was time they finally talk about it. Once again, they've had sex. Raw. She knew she was on the pill, but how could he be so careless to not have asked about it?She found it scary because Sterling had always been a thorough man, why did he forget such an important aspect of their lives this time?"Hmm?" His deep voice resonated. Faith stared at him, bare-chested as he was, he met her gaze. "This need to stop!" Faith whispered in a low but firm tone, for a moment she saw the confusion displayed on his features. "I mean, I don't think we're being careful enough, y_you've never used protection and even though I'm on the pill, there is still a slight chance of me getting pregnant!" Faith rushed out the words in one breath. A pause of silence followed and an awkward sensation trickled down her spine, this was not a conversation she loved to discuss with anyon
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
The Billionaire's Trap CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR
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
