TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 28_ Selfish decisions
As I stepped into my childhood home, I was surrounded by the familiar faces, yet I was still feeling out of place. Everyone was dressed in mourning attire, their faces filled with grief. My heart ached as I spotted my stepmother, her eyes red-rimmed, standing beside Anna's dugged grave.Anna's grave nestled closely to my mother's and it brought back memories.I wrapped my hair carefully into the black linen scarf that laid on my shoulders. My mind wandered, at the same time, observed the minute silence given to Anna_ and mama. For me.I took a deep breath for what felt like the hundredth time and joined the rest of the family, ready to say goodbye to Anna.At that moment, everything was over and everyone was busy offering condolences.I moved to the other side of the cemetery where my mom was buried.And I was shocked to my bones. My mom's ashes were staring back at me. I knelt down, eyes teary. Speaking to her as I held the ashes. Mom, I don't know what's happening in my life anymor

As I walked into the club, I felt like a spectacle. Everyone's eyes were fixed on me, their whispers and pointing fingers were unmistakable.I tried to ignore the stares, but my face burned with embarrassment. Eva approached me immediately with concern written on her face. "Quinn, honey, you look horrible. What happened?"She guided me to a quiet corner, away from the prying eyes."I had a fight with Clark," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper.Eva's expression became pitiful "About Bryan?"I nodded, and Eva's eyes widened."But I insisted to accompany you and you refused. Quinn, people are talking. They know you're dating him."I sighed, confirming her suspicions. "It's true."“Especially our co workers, they feel you’ve been away for so long and over using the privileges you have.”Her voice dropped to a whisper. "All I can say is, you really need to Be careful, Quinn. Bryan's reputation... it's complicated."Just then, our boss, Mr. Jenkins, emerged from his office. "Quinn

QUINNS POVJasper's eyes sparkled with amusement as I approached. "Took you long enough," he teased.I smiled, taking the seat across from him. "Sorry, I was busy."Jasper chuckled. "I had to plead extra with Eva to get you here. You know I don't ask, I make it happen."My skepticism must have shown, because Jasper held up his hands in mock defense. "Just joking, Quinn. Don't look so serious."My skepticism must have shown, because Jasper held up his hands in mock defense. "Just joking, Quinn. Don't look so serious."He gestured to the empty chair across from him. "Sit, please."I looked around, searching for his guards. Looks like he came alone today. I hesitated for a moment before taking a seat next to him."So," he continued, leaning back in his chair."As friends, since that's what we agreed to be. Why haven't I seen you around in a while?"His tone was casual, but I sensed a hidden undertone."I've been busy," I repeated.Jasper's eyes crinkled at the corners. "Busy avoiding me

I had spent that evening lost in my favorite novel, curled up on the couch with a warm cup of tea. The words on the page blurred together as my mind wandered to the upcoming school resumption.My phone buzzed, breaking the silence. I hesitated, wondering who could be messaging me at this hour.It was Bryan's assistant."Hello, Ms Quinn, The boss would like to invite you to a special evening event. He'll pick you up at 7 PM. Dress code, informal."I frowned, unsure.Was this another date? I was actually tired of going on dates with Bryan. You can never tell how it's going to end.Or could it be another business event?The uncertainty made me uneasy. I tried to push the thoughts aside, focusing on finishing my book.But my mind kept drifting back to Bryan and what he had planned. Before I knew it, 6:45 PM arrived.I set aside my book, taking a deep breath.Time to get ready.I slipped into my little black dress, smoothing out the fabric. A quick glance in the mirror confirmed I looked p

BRYAN'S POVI watched Quinn's reaction, her eyes wide with concern as Matt stumbled in the ring. My plan was unfolding perfectly.It started months ago, when I discovered Matt's boxing talent. I saw potential, not just in his skills, but in his connection to Quinn.My Quinn.The one person who'd never seen me for who I truly was.I manipulated Matt's career, pulling strings to get him this fight. He was a fighter, so I picked a stronger opponent, the venue, the timing – all carefully planned out.My goal was to break Quinn's resistance and, most especially, teach him a little lesson due to the way he totally ignored me during our last encounter.She'd been slipping away, drawn to Jasper's charm and Matt's kindness. But I wouldn't let that happen.Tonight, Quinn would see Matt's vulnerability, and I'd be the one to comfort her.As the referee counted down, Matt's eyes met Quinn's. I saw the spark of recognition, and the desperation.But my grip on her hand tightened, reassuring her th

FLASHBACK_Before the wrestling event, I thought Matt and I had something real.But Quinn's arrival changed everything.As soon as she got back to work, Matt's affectionate touch disappeared. There were no more stolen glances or flirtatious smiles. In fact, it was as though our connection never existed.I tried to brush it off, thinking he was just busy.But the silence grew thicker, day in day out.I initiated conversations numerous times after work, hoping to reconnect with him yet it yielded nothing."Hey, Matt, how did your day go?" I would ask.And he would grunt, with his eyes fixed on his phone."Matt, did you see that new project briefing, Mr Jenkins has in his budget for the club?" I'd try.He would still nod, acting distracted.It hurts.It became obviously clear that he didn't want to speak to me and I felt like I had lost him.One day, I cornered him in the break room."Matt, what's going on? You're ignoring me," I said.He only shrugged, dismissing me "Just stressed, Eva.

QUINN'S POVI stood outside Matt's hospital room, watching him from the transparent mirror.With my concuence pricking me, I felt guilty.If it wasnt for me, Matt would have been hale and hearty. I took a deep breath before entering. The past few days had been a blur, but I needed to see him.As I walked in, Matt's eyes locked onto mine, a mixture of warmth and concern."Quinn," he called, his voice weak but genuine. "I'm glad you're here."I approached his bedside, feeling a sense of relief wash over me."I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to talk to you properly," Matt said, his eyes never leaving mine. "Not since I walked you to that cab that day"I smiled softly. "You've been busy recovering, I should be the one apologizing for not coming to see you yet"Matt's gaze intensified. "I had no idea you were into boxing. Seeing you at the ring that night with Bryan... I was shocked."I shook my head. "Nah, I'm not into boxing. Bryan invited me."Matt's expression turned curious.

BRYAN’S POV"I want to go home," she whispered.Exactly what I had imagined.Always running away when necessary, my grip on her tightened. I couldn't let her go. Not now, not ever."I'll never let you go," I muttered, my voice barely audible.Quinn's eyes widened, and she tried to push away, but I held firm."Bryan?" she muttered, her voice low and soothing.I didn't answer. I couldn't. My mind was racing with thoughts of losing her again.Why did she always want to leave? Didn't she understand that I have suffered enough, waiting so long for her?I knew her family had come to her for help. They have no option but Quinn. This time, I am ready. I will clear all obstacles, and make sure nothing stands in our way.I'll show her she's mine.

I watched as Bryan made his way over to a tall sleek man who looked like he was in his late twenties, clapping him on the back and saying something in his ear.The man nodded in approval, looking like he was trying to make a quick escape. But before he could, Bryan grabbed the microphone again."And now, ladies and gentlemen," he called, "It's time to bring out the real entertainment."The room erupted into another round of cheers and catcalls as a group of strippers appeared from the shadows, dressed in lingerie and thong outfits. They made their way to the stage, where they began to dance and perform.I watched in disgust, feeling like I was trapped in some kind of bad dream. This was not the kind of place I wanted to be, and I definitely didn't want to be here with Bryan and his sleazy friends. It reminded me of the reason I avoided the VIP lounge on most occasions.But I was stuck there, at least for the rest of the night. And who knew what other surprises Bryan had in store for

QUINN'S POVI sat in the car, fiddling with my black glasses as I stared out at the sea of mourners gathered outside. Today is the day we say our final goodbyes to my father, the man who had once been the head of Sutherland Corporation.The company that Bryan now owned, and it is ironic that its investors had come crawling back after the ownership had been passed. The company was now one of the top three influential private businesses, and it seemed that his efforts would live on, even if he wasn't around to see it.I sat there, I couldn't help but think about mom. She is the reason I decided to attend this funeral, despite my reservations. She loved him, despite his flaws and all, and I knew that she would want me to be there for her today.I adjusted my scarf, making sure that it was securely in place. I managed to keep a low profile over the years, avoiding the blogs and the prying eyes of the public. Only a handful of people knew that I was my father's half-daughter, and I intende

I gasped, my eyes snapping open in surprise. "Bryan, what are you doing?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.He looked up at me, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Just relax yourself, my love," he urged.I felt a shiver run down my spine as he continued to suck on my toes. It was a strange sensation, but it was also strangely erotic.As he moved his mouth up my legs, I felt my desire growing. I reached out and grabbed his hair, pulling him closer to me."Bryan, please," I whispered, my voice urgent with need.He looked up at me, his eyes burning with desire. "Please what, my love?" he asked, his voice low and husky.I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I looked at him. "I need you," I whispered, my voice barely audible."No! I need you to be my bride." He spat, and I wondered if we weren't already together. Is he requesting my approval right now ?--------------Bryan's eyes grew aggressive as he pulled me closer. His mouth went straight to my neck. I shivered from the effect."

MATT'S POVShe nodded, "Sure, we can, Matt. I'll see you around."I gave her one final hug, holding on a little tighter than necessary. "Take care of yourself, Quinn," I whispered.Quinn smiled and pulled back, her eyes sparkling. "I will, Matt. You too, okay?"I forced a smile, feeling a pang of guilt. "Yeah, I will."With one final glance, she turned and walked out of the club, leaving me to my thoughts.As I watched her, I felt this wave of sadness over me. It's been a while I've seen her lately, ever since that incident. Bryan was doing everything in his power to keep her safe, hidden away from prying eyes like Jasper's reach.I let out a deep sigh, the weight of my own secrets crushing down on me.How about me?I've been working for Jasper, but my interest in Quinn has never been about the job. It's always been about her. I took this job seriously after I got to know Quinn, and it's been her all along.If only she could see that I'm not like Jasper. If only she could learn to leav

She sat up immediately staring deadly into his eyesJASPER'S POVEarlier today, I got a call that she was finally awake. But Bryan was always hovering around, so I had no time to make a quick stop.

Did he forgot who he was?"Bryan Braxton" I chuckled.As I walked into the hospital room, I was taken aback by Quinn's fragile appearance. She looked like she'd been through a war. I felt guilty and concerned, knowing that I had a role to play in her current situation.
