Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire novel Chapter 3

"Jenna, why are you shivering?" Kate was worried. Throughout the drive to her apartment, Jenna has been quiet and visibly shaking. She offered Jenna a glass of water after making her comfortable on a stool beside the Kitchen Island.

Jenna clung tightly to the glass of water. She swallowed tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks,

"I lost everything Kate and I got involved in some mafia shit. I shouldn't have gotten involved. I shouldn't have drunk so much and missed my room." Tears run down her cheeks in remorse. Everything that happened last night kept playing on her mind throughout the drive.

"You shouldn't have done what?" Kate was lost and didn't know how to help her best friend. Jenna drank the water and gave her a rundown of everything. Kate was shocked.

"You did the right thing," she expressed with a rather contrasting excitement. Jenna was wide-eyed. She expected Kate to rebuke her and advise her on what to do.

"From everything you said, you saved his life. Maybe he was a foreigner who fell into trouble. That should explain why his men weren't with him," she shrugged and sat on the next stool beside Jenna.

She was just amazed but Jenna was feeling awful. Kate saw the whole thing as a coincidence.

"Kate, I'm serious," she said helplessly. What if they checked the surveillance cameras later?" She didn't want to get involved in any mafia drama.

But then again, earlier, the man said she would die if she stepped out but later told her to run and not look back. Perhaps it was safe then. Yet, if he was unconscious and in pain, how could he know? Thinking through everything was making her go crazy.

"So I'm I. Maybe I'm just tired from work, okay but from how I see it, you did nothing wrong," Kate reiterated. Seeing Jenna disturbed, she didn't want to continue talking about it and so did Jenna.

"How was your trip?" Jenna asked to take her mind away from everything. At least her headache had reduced and her stomach wasn't too bad. Her question made Kate's eyes lit, a smile adorning her already pretty face. "The best I ever had."

Jenna drew her stool closer to her. "What do you mean?"

"I met a guy, Cathan Blade is his name. We did it in the washroom," she said with a flawless smile.

"Kate…" Jenna found it weird and wanted to ask if she was insane but Kate continued to speak passionately.

"He was so strong, lifting and pinning me on the wall while he possessed me. We came together," she said, running her fingers through her long blonde hair.

Jenna was at a loss for words. Kate has always had a crazy sex life but this was the craziest she ever heard. She barely knew the guy and they did it in the washroom on the plane.

"So where is he?" She curiously asked.

"He went to work. He's a bodyguard, trained to protect his cousin, the heir of the Blade Towers. He's the one I dropped at the hotel when I saw you coming out as if you were scared of putting your feet on the ground," she explained. She got attracted to the guys' honesty. He said to her in confidence that those things were secrets but he didn't know why he told her. It created an instant bond between them because he trusted her with that information.

Hearing the name Blade, Jenna stiffened slightly. Operating her father's company for a while now, she knew about the best and also the most dangerous companies. Her father had deliberately avoided any business with the Blades. 'It's suicidal to be their enemy and good to be their friend but it's even better to avoid them.'

Those were her father's words. "Blade Towers is managed by a ruthless old man. You should have nothing to do with the Blades. They are dangerous," she warned Kate seriously but Kate was already smitten by love at first sight.

"It's too late for that. I'm ready to face danger with him. Even a ride with him through hell will be like heaven," she continued to smile like a teenager in love so Jenna gave up.

"Whatever, I have to start searching for a job or I'll go crazy." She caught Kate's attention and she was serious this time.

"Are you going to leave everything for your stepmother?" She asked but seeing the frown on Jenna's face, she said, "Sorry, Eve."

"No, but I need to start from somewhere. I realized this morning that she froze my accounts. I wonder how she managed to get the board members to support her," she said, tossing her phone to Kate thoughtfully.

"We all have one pussy but I think she has a hundred," Kate went back to her non-serious attitude.

"You aren't making sense."

"And you aren't thinking straight. What brought the fall of Troy? A woman. What brought the death of Sampson, a woman," Kate explained her suspicions to Jenna, who was slowly absorbing the meaning of her words.

"You mean she slept with them?"

"Be my guest."

Jenna frowned with contempt. "Her pussy must really be rotten then."

"How about I ask Cathan to help you get a job with Blade Towers?" Kate got serious and asked, not making her real intentions known.

"With that old man? Never and ain't

you afraid that I'll snatch Cathan from you?" Jenna asked in a Jovial tone, recalling how Peggy didn't want to accommodate her because of her boyfriend. Peggy had always been reserved but now, Jenna realized that she was also pretentious.

"Come on, you are too innocent for him. He likes my kind and Peggy, let's just wait," Kate let out a vengeful smile.

"Thanks but I can't work with the Blades," Jenna refuted. Aside from the fact that the Blades were dangerous, they also had weird working clauses. Jenna didn't have the details but she was certain to not work with them.

"Because of the old man? Don't worry. His grandson will soon be taking over. He is still undergoing training but should take over in two months," Kate revealed. She and Cathan had spoken at length at the airport coffee shop and she was certain but Jenna was unmoved.
