TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 106_ Too much to ask
MATT'S POVI stepped out into the cool evening air, desperate to clear my head. I lit a cigarette, taking a long drag as I paced back and forth. But my frustration got the better of me, and I muttered under my breath, before smashing it to the ground and dusting my hands.Just as I was starting to calm down, I felt a light tap on my back. Startled, I turned around to see Eva standing behind me."Hey," I called out softly, my eyes searching hers for some sign of whatever had brought her out here. Over the past few weeks, I had given up trying to apologize to her. Some people, you just don't get off their bad books, you know.She handed me a spare cigarette, and I took it gratefully as she lit both our smokes.She took a long drag on her cigarette, blowing out a stream of smoke that wafted into my face."Saw you making a quick exit, so I followed," she remarked.I nodded, relieved that she was talking to me again. "Just needed a little space to clear my head.Eva raised an eyebrow, her e

QUINN'S POV"It's been a week since I started this new job, and I'm still trying to get the hang of it. Balancing work and school is no joke. Thankfully, my assistant, Alex, was my lifesaver. He's been super helpful and easy to work with, assisting me with everything I needed to know.But then there's Miss Clara. She's always popping up, asking for this and that. It's like she's trying to remind me that I'm under her thumb. Newsflash, Clara: Just because I decided to work doesn't mean I'm stupid. I scoffed, watching her walk away from my office.I've managed to ignore her twice today, and it felt amazing. She should just stick to her own territory and leave me alone. I'm not afraid of her or her condescending attitude.And as for Bryan, ha! If she thinks he's the prize, I'll show her what I'm capable of. I'll snatch him away before she even says Jack. She has no idea who she's trying to mess with.I refocused on my work, scrolling through the documents on my computer screen. I was resp

Jasper let out a triumphant yell. “YES ! Finally”I laughed as he pulled the car away from the curb, driving and all excited.He looked like a puppy who had been given a bucket of chicken bones to consume and couldn't wait to do so. It was cute.Soon as we arrived at his place …… I was struck by the grandeur. It was a magnificent building as well.“Welcome home," Jasper announced with a smile. "You’re free to stop by anytime” he turned around to help me out of the car. My cold feet touched the cold ground. "Hold on here", he signaled one of his staff. They quickly brought a pair of flip-flops for me.Glancing at my watch, I realized it was already past six. "He wouldn’t even care if I stayed past my time at work", my subconscious scoffed and I quickly put the thought behind me.Not going to lie. The fact that Bryan wasn’t speaking to me, kind of had an impact on me. But it was an impact I was willing to let go off.Jasper handed me a glass, the strong scent of the liquor wafted out. I

MATT'S POV:I stood outside Jasper's office, my heart racing with anticipation. I hated coming here, hated the feeling of being under Jasper's assessment. But I had no choice.I took a deep breath and pushed open the door. Jasper looked up from his desk, his piercing eyes made my skin crawl."Ah, Matt. Right on time," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.I felt a shiver run down my spine. I hated the way he made me feel - like a pawn in his game."Yes, sir," I replied, trying to keep my tone even.He gestured for me to come closer. I hesitated for a moment before walking towards the desk."What do you need me to do, sir?" I asked.He leaned back in his chair, a sly smile spreading across his face. "I have a little task for you, Matt. One that requires your ability""I want you to take care of a little problem with one of my business associates," he continued. "He's been getting a bit too big for his britches, if you know what I mean."I nodded. "I understand, sir.""I knew I could

QUINN'S POVAs Jasper's car drives into Bryan’s estate, the security guards, already familiar with him, nodded in recognition, allowing us to pass. We finally came to a stop in a quiet corner, away from the main entrance.I turned to Jasper, “I’ll be fine from here."He let out a huge sigh, his eyes scanning the environment. “I didn’t know he was making you stay here.”“It’s no big deal Jas," I said, trying to downplay the situation."And the car? Again, I've never seen you drive it." He inquired and I grew short of words."Honestly, Jasper...I don't know where it is, Bryan got me a new one and that was all I saw about it."He stared at me for a while, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I see, Well, no matter. You'll have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the finest things in life. I'll make sure of that."I mumbled a little "I'm sorry" before staring down at my watch. "I really should get going though. It’s getting late."Jasper opened his arms, inviting me for a hug, and I leaned in. He he

I walked into the café, fresh from my morning classes, as I scanned the room for Matt. And there he was, already seated, right on time.I made my way over, and he stood up to greet me with a warm hug."It's harder to see you lately, Quinn," he said, holding me at arm's length.I nodded sympathetically and took a seat."What can I get you to drink?" he asked."I'll have a caramel latte, please," I replied.Matt ordered for us, and as we waited for our drinks. I asked him, after noticing he wasn't going to speak. "How's work been treating you?"His expression turned grim, and he shook his head vigorously. "That's actually why I wanted to meet with you. I hope I didn't scare you by being so forward?""No, you didn't," I replied, my voice laced with concern."I just got worried. Is everything okay? Is it Eva?" I asked, my mind wandering.He paused for a moment, staring intently at me. "No, Quinn. What I'm about to say, I wouldn't want you to question me," he added, his eyes scanning the su

BRYAN'S POVAfter the big fight that ended with her slapping me, I decided to give her some space. I figured she needed time to calm down and think things through. But what I didn't know was that she had already moved on and started spending time with Jasper.I have to admit, I was caught off guard when I found out. I had one of my guys follow her car, and when he sent me the pictures, I couldn't believe my eyes. There she was, laughing and smiling with Jasper. It was like a punch to the gut.Since then, I've been keeping an eye on her from afar. I want to know what she's up to and who she's spending her time with. So when I found out, she had another hanging out with him.I personally assigned that project to her desk today. I don't care about protocol, I'm her boss, and I can do what I want. And I know she wouldn't try to get out of it.I become lenient and Jasper tries to play on my intelligence? I scoffed. I'm not going to let that happen.Just then, my phone buzzed, breaking my th

Revealing Quinn. She was back.Her eyes widened with shock, as though she stumbled upon something she couldn’t believe."What did you just say? You placed a bet on me?…" She asked as she moved forward."Ugh?" Quinn repeated, her voice trembling with anger and hurt. "You used me as a tool in your game?"Her eyes moved between Jasper and me, as if searching for answers. But I could see the accusation and betrayal already written all over her face."How could you, Jasper?" she whispered, her voice cracking with emotion. "How could you do this to me?"Jasper's smirk disappeared. He took a step back, realizing he had been overheard. "Quinn, let me explain—" he started.But she wasn't having it. She cut him off, her voice rising in anger. "What am I to you? Some kind of prize to be won?"The room fell silent. I knew I had to say something, but I didn't know where to start.She wiped the tears that were threatening to fall." I came to pick up my phone" she announced. The phone was right on

I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed Eva's number, my mind on edge with anticipation. When she answered, I could hear the faint sound of chattering and music in the background."Hello, Eva. I need to see you right away," I said, trying to convey that it was urgent without alarming her."I'm in the middle of an event, Matt. Can we reschedule for later?" She asked, almost screaming into the phone.I hesitated for a moment before responding. "I'm afraid it can't wait, Eva. Is Quinn with you?" I asked, in hopes that Quinn's presence might make her more willing to leave."No, she stepped out a while ago, saying she had somewhere to go. What's going on, Matt? You're beginning to get me worried," she asked, her tone laced with concern.I took a deep breath before responding. "There's someone I want you to meet, Eva. Someone who has information that might be...enlightening. Please, just trust me on this. I'll text you the address. Can you get here as soon as possible?"Eva hesitated for some

I tapped my foot impatiently on the dusty floor, my eyes fixed on the entrance of the abandoned warehouse. Lucas was running late, and I was starting to lose my patience. I glanced at my wristwatch for what felt like the hundredth time."Five more minutes, and I'm leaving," I muttered to myself, already mentally preparing to walk away from this whole ordeal. But as I looked at my watch again, I realized that those five minutes had flown by faster than I expected, and Lucas was still nowhere to be found.I let out a deep sigh of frustration. "This is ridiculous, what was I even thinking believing all that bullshit" I said aloud, shaking my head. I pulled out my cell phone, signaling to my assistant that it was time to leave.Just as I was about to turn away, my assistant spoke up, "He's here, Sir." I turned to see Lucas hurrying towards us with an older man behind him. The man looked weak, with an emaciated face and sunken eyes that seemed to hold a very deep sadness.Lucas apologized

I rushed back to the hospital as soon as I got Eva's text saying Quinn was awake. My mind traveled back to when the doctor had shared the news about her pregnancy. The room went silent. I grew numb for a few seconds, my eyes fixed on her pale face. We all knew who the baby belonged to, and the thought of it pierced through my chest. I could feel Eva's eyes on me watching my every move, but I just couldn't bring myself to look up at her.I have no chance with Quinn now that I think of it.And maybe that's okay. I'm just glad she is awake and safe.I approached Eva, who was standing by the door with worry on her face. "Where's Quinn?" I asked while scanning the room."She's asleep," Eva managed to mutter.I nodded, feeling a bit relieved. "I had to finish up some work, but as soon as I was done, I rushed over here," I explained, though Eva didn't seem to be interested."It's fine, Matt," Eva cut in, her eyes fixed on Quinn's sleeping form. "It's been four hours, and she's been sleeping
TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 146_ All Words
QUINN'S POVWe stepped into our apartment, the familiar scent relieving every bit of exhaustion that I felt. Eva followed closely behind me, helping me settle onto the couch. We had just gotten back from the hospital."Hey, how are you feeling?" She asked, handing me a glass of water.I took a sip, taking a deep breath as I stared blankly into space. "I really do not know, Eva. Maybe lost?"She wrapped her arms around me. "You're not alone, Quinn. You have me, and you have that little baby inside you to think about. You're going to take care of yourself and that baby, that's all. Remember what the doctor said? You need to rest, eat well, and avoid stress."I nodded, taking in all of her words. "Eva smiled, standing up. "I know you can. Now, I'm going to go grab some groceries. We need to stock up on healthy food for you and the baby."I smiled weakly. "Thanks, Eva."Watching as she headed out the door, I leaned back onto the couch, my hand instinctively resting on my stomach. I would

QUINN'S POVI lay in the hospital bed, my eyes fixed on the ceiling as the doctor's words echoed in my mind. Pregnant. I'm pregnant.The door creaked open, and Bryan walked in, his eyes scanning the room until they landed on me. He looked...different. He approached me, holding out a bouquet of flowers. "Hey," he called softly. "I brought you some flowers."I had no response. I was still trying to process the news, my mind reeling with questions and fears.Eva stood up, eyes fixed on Bryan like she was issuing out a warning to be gentle. "She's not said a word to me since she got up." She explained to Bryan."Quinn honey, are you okay?" she asked, in a soft voice, and I managed to nod, feeling a lump form in my throat. I still couldn't speak or express the emotions piling up inside of me. Bryan reached out to touch my hand, and suddenly my body sprang to life. It began shaking tremendously, my eyes wide with fright as the words tumbled out."Get away from me, you monster! You're a mon

BRYAN'S POVI walked out of the hospital room, bumping into Doctor Lee. He was a familiar face from my previous visit to his hospital when one of my workers had an emergency."Ah, Mr. Braxton! Good to see you again," he called in a friendly tone.I nodded curtly, my mind still reeling from the emotions that had overwhelmed me in Quinn's hospital room. "Doctor Lee.""What brings you here?," he asked."Oh, my girlfriend Ms Quinn. She was admitted here.""Oh really? I didn't know that." He remarked as he leaned in closely, giving me a brief update on her condition. "In that case, I have to share something with you, Mr. Braxton. Something that I think you should know."My gut tightened, seeing that he looked off. "What is it, Doctor?" I asked in a calm tone.Doctor Lee hesitated for a moment before dropping the bombshell. "Ms. Quinn is two months pregnant. Mr. Braxton."My world stopped.Pregnant? Quinn is pregnant?The doctor's words hung in the air, refusing to compute. I felt like I ha

QUINN'S POVI walked into the living room, carrying a tray with a fresh drink for Matt. He had stopped by unexpectedly, and we chatted for a bit till I got thirsty and disappeared to get water.When I returned, I noticed that Matt and Eva were engaged in a heated discussion. They were speaking in hushed tones, but their body language told me something was wrong. Eva's arms were crossed, and Matt's looked all tensed.I set the extra cup of water on the table, turning to them, "What's going on?" I asked.They paused, looking at each other uncertainly. Matt opened his mouth to speak, but Eva quickly covered it with her hand.Matt looked at Eva, then back at me. I could sense his frustration."Okay, Eva, enough. Let Matt speak." I said whilst folding my hands. Eva finally removed her hand, and Matt took a deep breath of relief.Eva and Matt exchanged another glance, and then Eva nodded. The room fell silent for a moment before she spoke up."We found your dad's former secretary," she anno
