TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 14_ The secret
I remained outside the hospital room, watching through the glass window. She seemed to be having a nightmare. Her face contorted, her body twitching underneath the sheets. Matt's eyes were filled with concern, he was almost panicking. He was holding her hand and speaking softly to calm her down as he stroked her hair. Such care and compassion. Very touching.He didn't even realize I'd been all by myself sitting right here.I took a deep breath, I couldn’t bring myself to go in. So I remained outside, resting against an arm pole besides me. A few minutes later, Matt stepped out, looking around. "Hey, Bryan's gone?," he asked, taking a huge heave of relief."I know," I replied. "He probably has an emergency.”Matt's expression turned thoughtful. "Okay, so…I’m curious. How does she know Bryan and Jasper? He eyed me intently. “It doesn’t look like it’s all about that day.”I hesitated, chuckling a little bit. “Things are actually more complicated than you think, Matt.”He stared at me,

QUINN’S POVI walked through the front door of my apartment, exhausted from my hospital stay. The past twenty four hours had been a blur of tests and treatments.Before leaving the hospital, I had been bored out of my mind, flipping through TV channels and scrolling through my phone.As I entered my living room, I dropped my bag onto the couch and collapsed beside it, letting out a deep sigh. I closed my eyes, feeling the softness of the cushions envelop me. Suddenly, my phone buzzed on the table.I reached for it, unlocked the screen and saw a message."Congratulations, Quinn! We are pleased to inform you that you have been awarded the prestigious Academic Excellence Scholarship."A mix of emotions swirled inside me.This scholarship is a gift, an attempt to buy my forgiveness just like when we’re kids. Just then, Eva emerged from the bedroom looking all concerned.“I didn’t think you were home.” I said, surprised.“Why didn’t you let me pick you up?” She asked as she settled beside

I set her down on the edge of the tub, quickly stripping off her wet coat and shoes."Get undressed," I ordered, handing her a towel.Her eyes were fixed on mine, holding a mixture of resistance and desperation."Please, Bryan," she whispered.What was she pleading for? But something in my chest twisted.I helped her out of her wet clothes, my fingers brushing against her chilled skin."Get in the shower," I said, adjusting the water temperature.She stepped under the warm steam, her eyes closing in relief.I stood there, lost watching her, my mind racing.What was I even doing, taking care of her?But I couldn't shake off the feeling that I needed to protect her. As Quinn showered, I fetched a change of clothes from my room and placed them on the bed.Soon she emerged, wrapped in a towel as I handed her the clothes."Put these on when you're done" I said, trying to sound detached.Her eyes met mine, and for a moment, I thought I saw something there. Something like longing but it quickl

QUINN’S POVI woke up to the sound of Bryan's gentle humming in the hallway, but my pounding headache and heavy body weighed me down. The memories of last night came flooding my mind, making my stomach twist and filling me with great regret.How could I have been so reckless? I thought, tossing my hands over my face, trying to hide them in shame.Bryan walked into the room, with a tray in his hands, and a warm smile."Good morning, beautiful," he added, setting the tray beside me.I blushed, shyly accepting it.It was a plate of scrambled eggs, bread and sausages."Did you have to?" I asked while savoring the scrambled eggs."I wanted to," he replied, gently stroking my hair as he laid a peck on my forehead.I felt the heat burning within me. Bryan’s constant stare only made things worse.I munched slowly, expecting him to get up soon and prepare for work, but he didn't flinch.He held onto the TV remote, switching channels." Aren't you working today?" I asked, attempting to deflect.H

Just another evening at the club, I silently cleared out the drinks someone ordered. The evening was just getting started and everyone was getting ready. Eva walked past me. We stay in the same house but somehow haven’t managed to hold a conversation for a while now.“Hey baby girl” she walked past, tapping me lightly.I hugged her. I’ve missed her.“You’ve been away, at home, working! What’s happening?”“Yes I have, and I’m back now.”“Busy with Bryan? She giggled and I nudged her playfully to behave. “He arranged your day off with Mr Jenkins yesterday. It’s quite fortunate.”I countered. “Not entirely. These few days haven’t been the most amazing. You did see the news, right?“Yes I did, they found him guilty.” Eva added and I nodded.“I feel bad, no matter what, they’re still family. In the space of two months, a lot of things are going down""And he hasn't admitted anything to you?" Eva asked.I shook my head vehemently. "Worse, he's still that gentle Bryan I know, yet he shows no

BRYAN’S POV"It's that time of year again - the winter vacation, finally! I exclaimed, leaning back in my office chair.A period where everyone's stress melts away.My mind drifted to Quinn. She's been overwhelmed lately, and this break would be exactly what she needs.And she'll be spending it with me.My business trip to Paris aligns perfectly. A time to seal crucial deals, and make unforgettable memories with her. Where Days of luxury, art, and romance awaited us. I’m sure my assistant has everything in check.I picked up my phone, dialing my assistant.“Come to the office. Now.”He arrived promptly. “Sir?”“Have you confirmed the Paris arrangements?," I instructed."All set, sir," he replied. "Villa, art studio, Louvre tour, transportation."I nodded, satisfied. “Good! Send a message to Quinn’s boss, confirming her extended leave.”“Her boss has already received my discreet call; her absence is approved. There will be no distractions tonight.I nodded, urging him to go out.I know

EVA’S POVI heaved a sigh of relief the moment I settled on the couch. It was such a hectic day, not having Quinn around.I needed to know how the trip went, so I dialed her number eager for an update. The phone cradled between my ear and shoulder. Her voice chimed in, sounding delighted."Eva! I'm so glad you called. We have just arrived, and Paris is stunning!"I grinned, envisioning Quinn's excitement. "I'm glad you're having a great time! Don't forget to take lots of pictures.""Already on it," Quinn laughed. "Bryan's been amazing as well”, she whispered, and I laughed."Make sure to spoil yourself rotten”"Will do," she promised. "What about you? How's life without me?"I laughed. "Same as usual, already missing you.She scoffed. “With my recent disappearance, I’ll probably lose my job after this trip.”“Our boss fears Bryan, he’d do literally anything he requests”, I reassured her."Nevertheless, I miss you too," Quinn said, her tone softening. "But I'll make it up to you with st

QUINN'S POVAs the plane touched down in Paris, I felt a thrill of excitement. Bryan, sitting beside me, smiled."Welcome to the City of Light," he said with sparkling eyes.Stepping off the plane, the crisp Parisian air refreshed me. I looked up at the majestic airport architecture."Wow," I breathed.Bryan chuckled. "You're going to love this city."My eyes widened as we stepped into the luxurious apartment. The sprawling living room, adorned with modern art and floor-to-ceiling windows, offered breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower."Welcome to our Parisian retreat," Bryan said, his eyes sparkling.I explored the expansive space, discovering a kitchen, a library, and a private balcony.I saw a small walkway, leading me to a stunning bedroom. My jaw dropped. The spacious room boasted an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a majestic gigantic bed.Bryan walked in minutes later with them, carrying our bags behind him. He gestured to the luggage. "I took the liberty of packing for

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

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

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.
