TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 130_ A call for support
As I stepped out of the building, I decided my next stop would be Jasper's office. I had no idea where it was located, so I pulled out my phone and sent him a text. I waited patiently for his response, my eyes scanning the crowded street. A few minutes later, my phone buzzed with an incoming text from Jasper. He provided me with his address, office number and instructed me to head to the top floor.A few minutes later, I was in front of his building. I slipped on my sunglasses, using my hair to shield my face, aware that this was another public space where I didn't want to draw attention.With Jasper's directions in mind, I made my way to the specified location. When I arrived, I was greeted by a lady who looked like she had just stepped out of a fashion magazine. She was dressed in a sleek, high-end outfit, but her expression was far from welcoming. In fact, she looked downright unhappy to see me."Good day," I said, trying to sound bold and confident. "I'm here to see Mr. Brown."The

BACK TO MY APARTMENT_Eva flopped onto the couch, exhausted from her long day at work. I joined her, and we spent the next hour together chatting about everything and nothing. Eva filled me in on the latest gossip at Eclipse. I've honestly missed that environment and I shared some funny rumors ongoing about my classmates.As we talked, she suddenly paused. "What's wrong? I asked,"You've not been to school in a while, Quinn."I shrugged at that information, but Eva's face held a stern look. "W_hat? Honestly, Eva, I don't know if I can do this anymore."Her eyebrows furrowed in concern. "What do you mean? Does this mean you're considering dropping out of school?"I sighed, feeling a mix of emotions. "What do you think? I just don't have the zeal for it anymore. Dealing with people, always being in the public eye...it's just too much."Her face fell, as she reached out to grab my hand. "Listen Quinn, you can't give up now. I know how hard you've struggled to get here. You've come so far,

As we arrived at the hospital, a swarm of paparazzi descended upon us. It's crazy how widely bad news ends up spreading, and the way they were so eager for any scoop on the tragedy. They bombarded me with questions, but thankfully, Eva took the lead as she swiftly intervened, pulling me through the bulging crowd.“She’s such bad luck” someone from the crowd sneered, and I couldn’t help but agree.I’ve never had the smoothest part of living. Was there a word worse than "unlucky?" because that’s exactly what I was.Eva continued to guide me, her firm grip on my wrist as I stared blankly ahead, allowing her to take charge.-----------As I stood in the hospital's cold hallway, the detective's words still echoed in my mind. I had just seen Catherine's lifeless body, and the reality of her death hit me like a ton of bricks.The detective handed me a card. "Come to the station whenever you're ready, Ms. Quinn. We need to discuss some things."I nodded numbly, my eyes fixed on the card. Eva's

I 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. "Are you

QUINN'S POVI sat on the kitchen island, watching as Eva expertly piped icing onto a new batch of freshly baked cupcakes. The aroma of sweet vanilla and melting chocolate filled the atmosphere, transporting me to those happy times when we just stayed home and baked all day."I'm finally considering your option of relocating," I said, breaking the comfortable silence between us. Eva's eyes shined with excitement as she turned to face me."Really?" she asked. "I've been thinking it's actually for the best, Quinn. You deserve a fresh start, away from all this drama and stress." I nodded in agreement, feeling a gush of determination wash over me. "Once this case is settled, I want nothing to do with this environment any longer," I declared.Eva smiled warmly, her eyes crinkling at the corners as she dragged my cheeks with her cream-stained hands. "I'm glad you're finally seeing reasons with me," I shrugged, watching her as she paused and placed her hands over the cupcakes to smooth them

QUINN'S POV--------------I arrived at Bryan's estate in no time. I assumed he would be home since it was the weekend. But little did I know, I was in for a surprise. The security men refused to let me in."I'm sorry, ma'am, but I need to confirm with the boss," one of them said, his words very blunt. I watched as he moved away to make a quick phone call.I didn't back down. "I don't care about your protocol," I snapped. They knew exactly who I was, so hindering me from entrance made me fuel up even more. "I need to see Bryan, now."The security men exchanged uneasy glances, clearly intimidated by my outburst, but after a few minutes of chattering on top of my voice, they finally let me in."Ma'am, you can proceed," one of them said, stepping aside.I drove through the gates, my heart racing with anticipation as I pulled up to the main house and stomped out of the car in annoyance.I marched into the house, my footsteps echoing behind me as I quickly made my way upstairs.

I walked back into the hospital, my feet just moving on autopilot. I approached the nurse's station where a friendly face disclosed that the children were awake.My heart skipped as I followed her to the children's ward. As we entered the room, my eyes landed on two tiny bundles of joy, sitting up in their beds and looking around with curious eyes as Maya made descriptions in the air like she was telling them a story. My eyes welled up with tears just from watching them.Maya caught my gaze and said, "Okay, kids, I want you to meet someone special. This is your Aunt Quinn." The little boy, with his messy brown hair, looked up at me and grinned. "Hi, Aunt."Avery, with her big brown eyes and curly pigtails, looked up at me and said, "Aunt Quinn, Mama says you're a fighter."I chuckled, taking a seat between their beds. "Well, I try my best to help people feel better and you guys have to be strong, okay?."They nodded as I took Avery's hand in mine. "I'll do my best to make you feel bet

LUCAS POVI sat in the dining room, surrounded by papers and files. Vic had managed to get his hands on some documents, but not everything I had asked for. I was amazed as I read through the papers - every detail, every story I had been told, was true.But I knew I had to be careful. Vic had warned me that if I presented this evidence, I could be in trouble for trespassing. I didn't want to risk it, so something else had to be done. I sat there, lost in thought, as my dad walked into the room. "What's going on, Lucas?" he asked, when he noticed the look of concern on my face."I have been trying to get in touch with B. Bryan for weeks now, but I just can't seem to get an appointment," I said, expressing my frustration.My dad raised an eyebrow. "Oh well, I can't help you with that," he added, as he proceeded to pour himself a glass of water.I nodded, trying to appear cool. "Yeah, I was thinking, maybe you would know someone who could help me get an appointment?"He shook his head. "

It hurts so much that I blame myself for being so hard on him all this while. The times he’d drop gifts and letters at my doorstep consistently every day. It might not have been a great ride, but Bryan loved me more than anyone else in this world would have. No words, no whimpering, just my eyes flowing with unending tears. “Quinn, you need to stop crying,” Eva advised, breaking the silence.“But I couldn't. "I will never get over this pain I’m feeling” I confessed. “He’s all that I have.”“Now I feel bad that you never acknowledged me. I’ve been with you through what, thick and thin and Bryan’s all you have?” Her words struck me and I could feel the hurt in her voice.“I’m sorry Eva, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that…." My tone was apologetic but she quickly hushed me.“Shhh_ I’m still here for you and I will never leave you, Quinn. I’m sure Bryan wouldn’t want you crying this way. You need to be strong.”I nodded in approval, as she drew closer to me, placing my head on her

-----------------"Whose child?" Quinn pressed, her brow furrowed in confusion.Thornton hesitated before speaking. "Your father, Sutherland, had a romantic affair with his second cousin, which resulted in your birth."Quinn and I gasped in unison. "What?" we exclaimed, shock and disbelief laced on our faces.Thornton continued, his voice filled with sadness. "He did marry your mother, despite the families being against them. I suppose it's because he loved her. I found out about their relationship because my first wife was a friend of your mother's."Officer Maddie's eyes widened in surprise. "What in heaven's name is going on here?" she asked, her voice firm, but I could tell she was confused.Thornton's expression turned cold. "When I threatened to expose Sutherland's secret if he dared to speak a word about Braxton's murder, he was terrified. He feared for his reputation and kept quiet all these years."Quinn's face twisted in anger and hurt. "His reputation? That's all he cared a

BRYAN'S POVWe walked into the police station, hand in hand, with Eva following close behind. "Excuse me," I said to one of the officers, "we'd like to speak with the officer in charge of Jasper Brown's investigation."The officer looked at us, obviously recognizing me, and asked us to wait. He stepped away for a minute before returning to escort us to a private room.Eva opted to wait outside, so we left her in the lobby. Inside the room, we met a lady who looked barely above middle age. "Hi, I'm Bryan Braxton, and this is _"Quinn Sutherland." She continued."We have information about Jasper Brown and his accomplice, Mr. Thornton that we would love to share with you."The officer, whose name tag read "Officer Maddie," looked at us with interest. "What kind of information?" she asked.We stared at each other and I spoke up. "We would like to be recorded."Officer Maddie nodded. "I see. Well, we've had Mr. Brown in custody, and we could use any additional information you can provide.

QUINN'S POVEva and I were still reeling from the shock of Matt's betrayal, lost in our own thoughts, when the doorbell rang again. I let out a frustrated sigh and made my way to the front door angrily."I thought I asked you to leave, Matt!" I yelled, but my voice trailed off as I took in the figure standing before me. It was Bryan."Matt?" he repeated, his brow furrowed in confusion. "Matt was here?"I nodded silently, still trying to process the sudden change in events. As I gazed at Bryan, I couldn't help but notice how worn out he looked. His eyes seemed sunken, and his face was laced with deep lines. This wasn't the stern, looking Bryan I had grown accustomed to; this was the Bryan I remembered from my childhood.I gulped down the huge form of saliva in my mouth. It took everything in me to not jump on him right now and hug him so tightly. I missed him so much. Bryan's eyes scanned me from head to toe, taking in my almost invisible baby bump. I felt a flutter in my chest as our

BRYAN'S POVI lounged on my couch, crunching on a crispy snack, when my attention drifted to the TV screen that flickered with breaking news. The anchor's serious tone caught my eyes."Breaking news: A high-profile sting operation has led to the arrest of Jasper Brown, the newly appointed CEO of Aurora's conglomerate, on charges of sex trafficking and distribution of hard drugs. The investigation carried on by a journalist, spanning several months, has uncovered a complex web of illicit activities involving some of the city's most influential figures."The anchor's words hung in the air, as the screen behind her displayed a mugshot of Jasper, his usual smirk being replaced by a scowl followed by blurry footage and photos from the club, taken by the undercover photographer. "The evidence, obtained through a daring undercover operation, reveals shocking scenes of exploitation and abuse. Photos and videos, taken from within the club, show victims being coerced into sex work and patrons
