TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 113_ Shattered Much
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

QUINN'S POVI pulled into the driveway, my heart still heavy with emotions. I had nowhere else to go, no one else to turn to. Eva's house was my only refuge, and my sanctuary.I grabbed the spare key from underneath the mat and let myself in. The silence was deafening. Eva was always home, always waiting for me with a warm smile and a listening ear.But today, the house was empty.I walked through the rooms, calling out for her, but I got no response. I checked the kitchen, the living room, even the backyard. She was nowhere to be found.I realized that she was probably at the club, working her shift. I just hadn't been lucky enough to catch her at home today. I felt a wave of disappointment hit me, but I knew I could try to reach her later, or she could turn up soon, with a reasonable explanation and a warm hug.But until then, I was alone.I wandered around the empty house, feeling lost and angry. I had never felt so disconnected from everything and everyone. The silence itself was w

JASPER'S POVI stood outside Quinn's house, my eyes fixed on the door. I had been trying to apologize, to make her understand what really happened. But she wouldn't listen.Just as I was about to give up, Eva appeared beside me. "What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice firm.I turned to face her, but her eyes weren't on me. They were on Quinn's car, parked in the driveway. Her expression suddenly changed, as she stared point-blank at me. "What did you do to her?" she demanded.I opened my mouth to explain, but Eva wasn't interested. She pushed past me, rushing toward the front door. "Quinn!" she called out.I followed her, my heart racing. Eva burst through the door, and a few seconds later, her scream filled the air. I rushed inside, my eyes scanning the room.That's when I saw her. Quinn was slumped on the floor, her wrist... I felt a wave of horror wash over me.I rushed to her side, as we both tried to suppress the flow of blood. We couldn't do much, she was losing conscious

QUINN'S POVI slowly opened my eyes, grogginess clouding my mind. Where was I? The last thing I remembered was...was Jasper's face. And then everything went black.A gentle voice spoke beside me. "Quinn, can you hear me?"I turned my head, wincing at the pain that shot through my temples. Eva's face came into focus, her eyes filled with concern."Wh-what happened?" I stuttered, trying to sit up.Her hands gently pressed me back onto the bed. "Don't try to move, Quinn. You're in the hospital. You were hurt pretty badly."Hurt? Hospital? Memories began to flood back – the house, the fight, Jasper's desperate eyes...Eva narrowed her eyes slightly. "If you weren't still recovering, I'd be tempted to slap some sense into you," she snapped, her voice firm but laced with worry. "What were you thinking, pulling a stunt like that? You scared me half to death."I looked down, feeling a sting of guilt. "I'm sorry, Eva," I mumbled.Her expression softened a little bit, but her tone remained stern

MATT'S POVI slowly opened my eyes. Everything hurt. My body felt broken. I tried to move, but the pain shooting through me was unbearable.I remembered the beatings. I also remembered the sound of my bones cracking, the feel of my skin tearing. I was lying in a dark room, chained to the wall. I struggled to sit up, but it hurt too much."Jasper..." I whispered. I was angry, but I couldn't do anything.I waited, hoping someone would come and help me. But I knew I couldn't trust anyone. Not even myself.I slowly sat up, wincing in pain. One of the men soon stepped in, bringing me a bottle of water. "Hey, Man, you're finally awake? you've been out for days," he announced.I took the water, my hands shaking as I unscrewed the cap. I took a sip, feeling the cool liquid soothe my dehydrated throat.Just as I was starting to feel a bit better, another guard, Jake, spoke up. "I'll go tell the boss that he's awake," he said, as he made his way to exit the room.I shot them both a cold stare.

QUINN'S POVI watched Matt.A million questions flowed through my mind. He was lying. I didn't know how, but my instinct told me he was hiding something.Seeing his battered body made me want to puke. Who could have possibly done this to him? I thought back to our previous discussion.Could it be Jasper... or Bryan?Just because his story wasn't adding up, it seemed too convenient and too rehearsed.He tried to speak, his voice low, almost coming off as a whisper "Concerning our previous discussion, Quinn... permit me to take that back?"I narrowed my eyes, my grip on the ice pack tightening. "What are you talking about, Matt?" Matt's gaze fixed on mine, his eyes pleading. "About... what I said. I was mistaken. I didn't mean to—"My anger boiled over. "Mistaken?" I repeated, my voice rising. "You showed me a picture, Matt. You told me things. What are you trying to take back?""I…I just didn’t want you to end up with him." He stammered, his eyes darting between Eva and I. "Yes, I got

I stood outside the sleek, modern building, checking the address on the piece of paper for what felt like the hundredth time. This was it – the office of Mrs. Stone, Jasper's lawyer.I took a deep breath, smoothing out my dress and mentally preparing myself for the meeting.As I pushed open the door, I stepped into an elegant lobby. The receptionist looked up from behind the desk, smiling politely."Can I help you?" she asked."I'm here to see Mrs. Stone," I replied, trying to sound confident. "I have an appointment."The receptionist nodded, typing something into her computer. "Of course, Mrs. Stone is expecting you. Please, take a seat, and I'll let her know you're here."I sat down in one of the plush chairs, flipping through a magazine I saw on the desk to distract myself. I came for something important – something that could change my entire life.After a few minutes, the receptionist called out to me. "Mrs. Stone will see you now."I stood up, taking a deep breath as I followed

MATT'S POVI navigated through the crowded hallway of Eclipse, scanning the area for Eva. We needed to talk, and I'd been waiting for a chance to grab her attention.As I spotted her, I caught her eyes and nodded subtly towards the backyard. She nodded back in understanding as we both slipped away from the crowd.Once we were outside, Eva turned to me, her expression serious. "I've been waiting for you to resume work for the longest," she said as her eyes scanned me with a mixture of concern and curiosity.I let out a small laugh, trying to downplay the severity of my injuries. "I'm better, Eva. Just a few bruises here and scratches."But she wasn't buying it. She rolled her eyes, and took a step closer to me. "Are you ready then to tell me what's happening? Who did this to you?" she demanded, her voice firm.I tried to brush it off, resorting to the same excuse I had given them earlier. "I had already told you guys, I got into a fight..." But Eva wasn't having it.She cut me off m

She crossed her arms, her eyes flashing with annoyance.I raised my right hand in t

"Sir?" she called, poking her head into the room.I turned my attention towards her. "Yes? You can come in."She stepped inside, with a discreet envelope in her hand. "A courier just dropped this off, sir. It's marked 'urgent' and 'personal'."My eyes narrowed slightly as I took the envelope from her hand. It had my name typed on the front, but there was no indication of who had sent it or what it might contain."Thank you. That's all for now." I announced, dismissing her. She nodded and backed out of the room, closing the door softly behind her.I scanned the contents of the envelope, my expression darkened. "This is highly unacceptable. No, I wouldn't let her walk away from the agreement so easily."I picked up my phone and dialed my lawyer. "I need you to come to my office, right now.""Is everything okay, Mr Braxton?" His calm tone replied along the line."Well, if you get here now, you'll figure that out." I dropped the call.-----------------I spent the remaining few minutes pa

I finished gathering my belongings, rolling my box out of the house. Eva had the most pitiful face on. She wrapped me in a tight hug. "Promise me you'll often call and stay safe," she whispered, her voice trembling.I nodded, trying to reassure her. "I will, Eva. Don't worry."It's another morning, except that this is a not so bright one. I looked around Bryan's bedroom, my temporary prison.As I began to pack the few belongings I'd be taking with me. I was doing this. I was staying there, in this gilded cage, until I figured out my next move."I can do this," I said to myself, trying to sound convincing. "Maybe, I can stay here, play the part, and bide my time. It's not going to be forever. Just until I figure out what to do"But the truth was, I had no idea how to escape Bryan's grasp. He had eyes and ears everywhere, and if I tried to run, he'd find me. Underneath the moon and the stars, he'd find me.I shuddered at the thought, pushing it aside as I lifted the carton, moving it to
