The Billionaire's Trap

Chapter 20

Sophia's Pov

"Going somewhere?" An amused Theo asked as I was trying to sneak out of his room... unsuccessfully.

"No, no, I, I just was... you know" I had no clue what to add especially since he was looking at me with a barely held laugh.

"You look cute when you get embarrassed" he winked and wrapped his forearm abound my waist pulling me back.

"I'm not embarrassed" I hissed annoyed that I was caught and my clean escape was gone...

"Ok, ok my bad. You look cute when you try to sneak out of my bed half naked" his voice was starting to get laced with lust.

He started nibbling across my neck and shoulder, kissing and sucking between my breasts when he got a hold a nipple and bit it roughly.

"Ahhh, Theo please I can't I'm still sore" I begged but my body was responding to his magical touch.

To answer me he smirked and started to lick my skin and rub his lips on my heaving breasts...

"Ugh! It's not fair" I said frustrated since by now I was a quivering mess.

"Baby all is fair in love and war" I stiffed in his arms and just like that the spell was broken.

"You know what I mean" he compensated I just snorted unladylike.

"It's cool Theo, don't sweat it. It's not like I came here expecting a ring or your never ending love's confession for me" I explained sarcastically.

"Soph don't-" I stopped him with a sweet and sad kiss.

"It's really okay. Please don't make it awkward between us" I pleaded to which he nodded and messed my hair while his other hand started to tickle me.

"The shower is yours and then come down for breakfast." he threw me a sleeveless sundress.

"You went through my stuff" I faked anger.

"Ha, more like I acted as your loyal servant and got you something to wear, your majesty" he added with a dramatic bow.

I just laughed and took the dress from him.

"I am sure you would also like to get to know Diana" he said tensely I raised my eyebrows.

"I'm not that sure but hey since I'm staying in her house-"

"My House" he interrupted

"You know what I mean. Anyways sure whatever I'll just be done in a few minutes" I reassured him because the moment he brought her up he was sulking like a child.

The shower really freshened me up. Now I was ready to face the day with more zest than I thought I possessed.

************

"It's not safe for her" I heard Diana tell Theo but I couldn't figure out what he was telling her.

Why the Fuck wasn't it safe for me?

I didn't mean to eavesdrop but this was about me and I don't think anyone would do anything other than what I was doing.

"Keep your voice down" Theo was getting angry and I could easily imagine the vein on his neck throbbing whenever he got really pissed off.

"Really Theo? This is too much. I didn't want to say something earlier but this, this is too much and you know better than that" she was whisper yelling.

"Don't you think I fucking know that" he barked at her but she didn't back down.

"Oh yeah, and what are you doing about it? Huh? Sleeping with her" She accused.

"Diana my personal life is none of your fucking business" He said too calmly.

She grunted and I heard her footsteps. She must be pacing around anxiously.

"I really don't care whom you are screwing but what I do care about is the safety of this mission. Now you tell me how the fuck will they react when they find out that you have a girlfriend or how about how the fuck will she react when she finds out that you are a killer?" She attacked him viciously.

Did I hear her correct or does that have another meaning. Surely it must have meant like a killer in the business world, right?

Like slaying your business rivals? Killing the opposition?

It's figuratively right?

"Me being an assassin has nothing to do with her" he deadpanned.

Oh so it's literally...

Fuck! Why does my life always throws me curve balls that I never seem to be expecting... Ever!

Take a deep breath all is cool, nothing is wrong.

Breath in breath out, you can do it breath in breath out, yes I can do it.

Shit I can't do this. No, no, no, not now. That's when I started to have a full blown attack.

I couldn't breathe, my airway was blocked with all the anxiety that I was feeling. I couldn't even ask for help. My hands were on my neck rubbing and gasping slowly and steadily I was losing consciousness...

I woke up to the voice of Diana saying something. I still couldn't figure it out but soon things started to become clear.

"And here I was wondering why we had inhalers stashed up in the house" she was teasing Theo but I could feel him just grunt while cradling my head and holding the inhaler to my mouth.

Ohhh, so that's why I could breathe easily.

I stirred a bit to let them know I was conscious.

"Hey you okay?" My eyes met a very anxious Theo who was rubbing my arms rhythmically.

"Yeah I'm fine" I said in a hoarse voice. He didn't believe me.

"What happened?" He asked but I was not ready to answer truthfully so I just turned my head away.

"How much did you hear?" He stated more than asked.

"Enough" I replied honestly.

"Soph you know I would never hurt you right?" He pleaded but right now I couldn't answer him what he wanted to hear.

So I stayed silent.

"You should have told her" Diana put her two cents in.

"Fuck off" he growled at her.

I flinched at his tone when he noticed what he did, I could see sadness written all over his face.

"Leave us alone Diana" he asked curtly.

I froze which both of them saw.

"I think I'd rather not" she retorted as she took a seat beside me.

"Diana" He warned darkly.

"Do you want me to leave?" She asked worriedly and I never thought I'd see the day where I saw some compassion from her.

"I'll be fine" I smiled. Somehow in these past few minutes something changed between me and her.

"So now you both are bffs?" He scoffed as she left us alone.

"You are to speak?" I accused.

"I know what you are going to say, but at least hear me out" he said frustratedly.

"What could you possibly say that would change what you are" I was disappointed in him and both of us knew no matter what he was going to say he won't change that.

"I know I should have told you before but I honestly thought my past was just that past and it was a closed chapter for good" he tried to explain but he could see how I wasn't believing him.

"Well, you do know what they say about the past... it always finds a way to haunt you since It never stays in the past ".
