Trapped: A Billionaire Romance (Love, Lust and Lies Series) Book 1

Chapter 13

Hey guys, I am sorry to re-establish this but the contract between Anitta and Jared would be 1 year since it sounded the most realistic to me. I will go back and edit the book when I have a chance. Also, since my school year has already started, it would take a while for me to upload each chapter but here are chapter 13. Enjoy! 

Anitta's POV 

When I woke up my body was aching all over like a truck just ran over me. I could feel a hand and leg pinning me down as if protecting me from all dangers and a very protective position. Looking over, I could see Jared and his head in my neck trying to comfort there. I didn't want to wake him up but we got work to do. I laid there as Jared's grip started to get harder and stopped me from moving anywhere. For once, I felt protected but I knew this feeling wouldn't be for long. It would be long gone after the contract was finished. 

"Jared, it is now seven thirty, come on wake up or we are going to be late for work." 

"Don't move, we can always call in sick you know." 

"But you can, not me. Come on, I have work to do. We need to get up now." 

He scowled but then he had no choice but to wake up with me. With his smirk and wicked smile, we ended up in the shower longer than I have intended to. 

This morning, Jared was very protective of me and he always kept a hand on me every single time. He was now more protective than ever. He would open the door between his office and mine and would usually come in and check in on me like I am a piece of paper that could vanish easily into thin air. 

Today, dad would come pick Rosie and I up and she would officially move into his house. Since Rosie has never met him before, she was really excited but also felt confused on why he left her. I had to come up with a story that mommy actually divorced daddy so she wouldn't know the whole story. I usually keep her in the dark so she wouldn't interfere with anything and would live a happy life. 

As I was deep in my thoughts, I felt two strong arms holding me in a tight embrace. 

"Don't you have work to do Mr. Dimitrou?" I asked Jared hoping that he would give me some free space. To be honest, I didn't want him to go but I also didn't want any emotions attached to this fake relationship that we were having. 

"I like holding you close. I have always wanted to do this for a long time. Don't mind me. You can do your work while I hold you close." 

"Come on. I have to pick Rosie up and put her to dad's house you know that." 

"Yes, I do remember that. It amazes me how you are one of the strongest mafia's leader daughter and you are working at my company. You can literally break free from work and be at home you know." 

"I know but I like working and I don't think I can give this up." 

Jared let me go for a while but then came back to pick me up and drop me off of dad's house. I though for a while about how the arrangements are going to work between us. I absolutely trust dad on being a great dad and keeping Rosie from all the mafia business but eventually she would have to know but she is too young to know that. Rosie is just 16 and I would have to wait until she is 18 to fully tell her. I think dad would work on that since he would be living with her for a few months before I move in after the contract is over. 

"What are you thinking about? Come in. He's waiting for you and Rosie." Jared cut me off from my thoughts. He's right, dad's waiting for me and Rosie and unite us as one. Finally. 

"Rosie, come. The butler and housekeepers would bring your things up for you. Don't worry about it." Dad announced himself as he made his way to us. The house was nothing smaller than Jared's house. It was way bigger and more majestic. I guess people in the mafia gang like their possessions powerful.
