TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 139_ The price
LUCAS'S POVWe were able to get the directions to Bryan's floor and office number. I turned to my dad, who was busy hovering anxiously beside me. "Dad, could you please wait outside for a minute? I'll just go and... uh... drop off these documents."My dad nodded, though his eyes betrayed him. He still looked scared. "Okay, son. Be careful."I watched as he stepped outside, then I turned my attention back to the receptionist. She looked up from her desk with a polite smile on her face. "Hi there, can I help you?""Hi," I replied, trying to sound confident. "I'm here to drop off urm... some documents from City Audit Services."The receptionist's eyes lit up with interest. "Oh, great. Let me just take those from you."I hesitated, realizing that I didn't actually have any documents to hand over. Due to my find-outs, I noticed his company had a thing with the city audit service, and didn't even know when I blurted it out. Luckily, it worked for me."Uh, actually... I think I might have le

BRYAN'S POVMy mind was traveling as I tried to process the information Lucas had just dropped on me. I thought back to my childhood, to the countless times I asked my mother about my father's death. She always told me the same story: Sutherland had betrayed my father, and his death was no accident. She would whisper it to me in hushed tones, her eyes always filled with tears, sadness and fear whenever she remembered. It became a really difficult topic that I dreaded ever mentioning to her.But now, Lucas is telling me that Sutherland wasn't responsible? It didn't add up. I felt this sudden feeling of anger and confusion. I was supposed to have a meeting with fucking Jasper, but anything could wait right now.I quickly picked up the phone and dialed my assistant's number. "I need you to come to my office right away."As I waited for him to arrive, I paced back and forth in my office, trying to make sense of everything. Lucas's words kept echoing in my mind. Shortly after, there was a

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

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

MATT'S POVI 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 bee

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

MATT'S POVI 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 chatter 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
TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 137_ A bluff and a prayer
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. "

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
