Trap of the Billionaire

The Wedding

Hazel didn't know how the entire week was gone by and suddenly it was Sunday. Their 'wedding' day. It was all a Business and nothing more. She wasn't excited like she thought she would be on such important day but again, it was just pure business.

Austin never called her to discuss anything. It was as if he didn't remember that she exist. Every information or instruction was given by Daniel , the cat like secretary of Austin who would instruct her in his usual clipped tone. Whenever he talked to Hazel, she always thought that he was mad at her for some reason but that wasn't the case, it was just Daniel's personality.

Yesterday, a white dress was delivered to her by Daniel and Hazel didn't even glanced at the dress . The guilt so high that the dress feels as if it was choking her. She was fooling everyone .

Today, she wore the dress. It was nothing sort of fancy, just a tight off-shoulder white dress that reached upto her knees. It was plain and simple. Hazel already was in love with it. It was comfortable and looked expensive. It was, in fact expensive. She did a bare minimum make up and let her thick black hair fall gracefully on her back. She decided to wear a diamond earrings that were given to her by Austin.

Soon Austin picked her up from her apartment. He say there looking as handsome as ever. He was wearing a black dress shirt and black pants. His jet black hair were slicked to the side .

The 'wedding' took place in a beautiful ornate building. Hazel gazed around , fascinated by the beauty. On the other hand Austin was calm. He had already instructed that their marriage news shouldn't be out to the media .

It took exactly three hours for for registration after applying for the marriage and providing them all their personal information. The process was tiring.

Afterwards, they stood side by side to each other as they posed for the photo. They kept their expression as neutral as possible. Austin was already good at his poker face but it was difficult for Hazel who thought that she will pass out any moment now. She was married! And that too with a handsome jerk who happens to be the heartthrob of the nation.

The officer gave them their marriage certificate.

What will fans think if they knew that their idol is now married? They will probably run to kill her.

Elio and Georgia were present there too. They both hugged them tightly, giving blessings to both of them.

" I hope that we will soon be able to meet our grandchildren." Georgia commented with a sly smile. Hazel so badly wanted to tell her that there were no kids in the equation.

" Don't worry , grandma. I will start working on it as soon as possible." Austin Replied , shamelessly and gained a light slap on his arm by Georgia who was laughing , he just chuckled and hugged his now wife.

Hazel blushed at their conversation. Grandchildren weren't happening anytime soon, she wanted to tell that to everyone.

" Take care of him for me , sweetheart. He needs someone who can love him. I am glad that he found you." Georgia whispered as she hugged Hazel again and Hazel wanted to cry. She was deceiving everyone. Everyone.

Elio and Georgia left the married couple alone in the office with the promise that they will arrange their honeymoon soon. She didn't wanna go to honeymoon. Luckily, Austin has a movie project and so he won't be able to leave the city.

Once they left, Austin gestured her to follow him. Hazel was quite relieved when she finally stepped out of the registration office. The process had tired her to the bones.

A driver was waiting for them by a red car dressed in white shirt and black pants. The car was probably prepared for them by his grandparents. Austin shake his head at that. They always exaggerate. They walked the steps side-by-side and Austin opened the car door for her once they reached the car before walking to the other side and sitting wordlessly.

The driver started the car and Hazel turned to gaze out of the window.

What has she done? Why did she agreed to this marriage mess?

But now is not the time to think about her decisions. What done is done. She can't change anything now.

The car ride was as awkward as always. Austin was gazing out of the window and so was Hazel, the gushing scenery was way better than facing eachother and feeling the awkward tension between them.

" Were are we going?" Hazel asked after twenty minutes of car ride filled with complete silence.

" To our house." Austin Replied, voice as stern as ever

" Our house?"

" Grandpa gifted as an penthouse in the city as our wedding gift." He explained and Hazel nodded. So that is why a driver was arranged for them.

" And what about my stuff?" She asked, she had brought nothing with her except a white clutch and her mobile phone.

" Everything you need is already placed in your new house and if there is something you want from your previous belongings, we can drive to your place tomorrow to get them." Austin said as he opened his mobile phone and began scrolling through social media.

Hazel sighed and looked away. The area they were heading to seems to be a place where elite people live. The roads were clean and there was much of traffic around. The building were tall and looked sophisticated.

Hazel was well educated but the life of Austin seemed to be exactly opposite to her own. She wandered how she will cop up with Austin without feeling inferior. She hates this life already.

Soon the driver pulled the car in front of a bungalow. Austin stepped out and so did Hazel.

" I thought that they brought penthouse." Austin chuckled as he looked at his new place. " This is fine too. We will have our own space and desired privacy." He added .

Hazel nodded .

She too walked closer to the bungalow and stood beside Austin who was still eyeing the building.

The bungalow is big, extremely big for just two people but it was perfect for someone who wants to start a family. It was painted with white and brown colour. A huge glass wall was displaying the living room, it gave the bungalow a quiet aesthetic look. It was surrounded by garden around it and the compound wall was high enough to block any view of what is going inside.

" I'll take my leave, sir." They heard the driver say. " Also congratulations ." He said . Austin turned to look at him with a smile on his face.

" Thank you." He replied softly and watched as his driver bowed at left them alone.

Austin gestured Hazel to walk in and he walked just behind her. Once they were inside the gate, the turned and locked the gate with a pincode.

" It's beautiful." Hazel commented as she glanced at the garden. Various flowers were planted there of different colours. Maintaining them would be hard. Tall trees were towering over the place. It was beautiful and private.

" It is. I will hire someone to take care of the garden." Austin said as he walked further. It was impossible for them to take care of such a garden on their own. A stone way directed them towards the the door of the building.

Austin pushed the wooden door open as he walked in the bungalow. Hazel followed closely him.

If the exterior was beautiful, the internal space was even more beautiful. The living room was coloured with brown walls . There was a sofa placed in the middle of the living room, a teapoy made up of wood was placed before the sofa. Sophisticated was the world that came in her mind. A huge flat TV was placed just in front of the sofa.

They walked upstairs where they thought the bedrooms were supposed to be.

"Choose any room you want." Austin said as he pushed open the door of one bedroom. Hazel walked in. The bedroom was beautiful.

There was a huge queen size bed placed in the middle of the room, headboard against the wall. A bedside table was placed on either side of the bed where two lamps were standing. There was a book shelf at the left side of the bed. There was a door attached that she assumed was for bathroom. There was a huge wardrobe placed at the tight side. The place was grand yet cosy.

" You can take this if you want ." Austin said and hazel turned to look at him. " I will take the room just opposite to yours." He gestured towards the wooden door that was standing facing opposite to her bedroom.

" Okay." She said with a quick nod.

Austin nodded

" You take a bath or something, till then I will bring your clothes from downstairs." He said and walked out of the room, leaving Hazel alone in this huge room.

When he left, Hazel thought that she could finally breathe. She walked towards the bed and sat on it. She then removed her high heels that were irritating him since the beginning. Once done, she let herself fall limp on the fluffy soft bed.

So this is her life. She wasn't used to the luxury. She had slept on bunk beds almost all her life. So this queen size bed feels like heaven.

Groaning, she reluctantly made her way towards the bathroom. It was huge just as she has expected. There was toilet, huge white sink and a separate shower but what caught her attention was a huge bath tub.

She instantly imagined herself taking long baths in there. But right now, she opt to take a quick shower and hit the bed.

After somewhat fifteen minutes later, she walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe and a towel around her hair.

The room was just the way she had left . She opened the wardrobe and was surprised that all designer clothes were now placed in the wardrobe. The wardrobe was empty before. Did Austin filled this up? The size was just perfect . Each item of clothing was placed so perfectly as if it's on a display in the boutique.

All her undergarments were placed in a bucket, folded properly. A blush adore her face when she noticed that many of them were made up of lace.

Did Austin placed this too?
