TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 31_ A dance
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."He 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."He gestured to the empty chair across from him. "Sit, please."I looked around, searching for his security guards. But they were no where to be found. 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?" He asked.I laughed, trying to ease the tension. "Maybe."His gaze fell on me as he

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 po

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. "You're n

Quinn's POV:I woke up, feeling utterly drained and exhausted, both physically and emotionally.The events of the past few days weighed heavily on me.I needed a chance to escape.

Bryan's POV:I watched Quinn from the security feed in my room as she stormed upstairs in annoyance.Every step seemed to be calculated to kill. Her anger was so obvious that even through the screen I shuddered, feigning fear.“Oh… I’m so scared” I whispered sarcastically.She should be thankful that my driver had arrived just in time, whisking her away from the chaos outside her workplace.Now, as she approached my location, I composed myself, settling my scotch on the table. I knew Quinn's temper very well and her anger could be explosive, so I needed to thread carefully.I took a deep breath, preparing for the confrontation. My eyes never left the door as it swung open.She stood before me, her eyes blazing red-hot from anger. She stood silent for minutes just observing me, so I proceeded to pour her a glass.I handed her the glass, my eyes locked on hers."Scotch," I said, my voice neutral. "It'll calm your nerves."Quinn's gaze never wavered as she took the glass. She gulped the h

QUINNS POVI woke up to the usual gentle caress of Bryan's fingers on my skin. I felt a shiver run down her spine as his touch sent waves of pleasure throughout my body.At first, i thought it was just another one of Bryan's romantic gestures. But as she opened her eyes, she realized that something was different. Bryan was lying beside me, with his eyes fixed on mine.Without a word, I reached out and gently pushed Bryan onto his back. I straddled him, her legs wrapping around his hips as she took control.Bryan's eyes widened in surprise, but he didn't resist. Instead, he let out a low groan as I began to kiss his neck, my lips tracing the path down to his chest.I continued to roam my hands over Bryan's body, exploring every inch of his skin. It was incredulous because I felt a sense of power and freedom that I had never experienced before.As I kissed and touched Bryan, I realized that I was unleashing a part of herself that i had kept hidden for too long. It was exhilarating and

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 profusely for his lateness, explaining that they had trouble finding a cab. I nodded, although I still felt a bit annoyed at the delay."I had to reschedule all my appointments today," I announced, my tone a bit sharper than I intended. "The last thing I want to think is that this is a waste of my time."The old man looked up at me, with his eyes locking onto mine. "No, sir, it isn't," Lucas shot him a nervous glance, as if urging him to continue.He took a deep breath before speaking, his next words sent a shiver down my spine. "I was a witness that day, sir. Sutherland was not responsible for the death of Braxton."----------------He paused as though he was reminiscing on the past and walking on that memory. "Your dad was
TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 157_ Taking Over
JASPER'S POVI couldn't help but jubilate as I sat in my office, the thought of my newfound power clouding my image. Bryan had just handed over the companies to me, and it was almost laughable at how easy it was. I had expected a fight, some resistance, but in the end, it was just a mere formal agreement.Quinn, oh Quinn. She was a peculiar one, I scoffed. Indeed, a woman has power, always so caught up in her own little world. I can't believe I played her this long, and she never even suspected a thing. Her obliviousness was nearly unbelievable - she had no idea of the danger she was in.Crazy girl who thinks everyone loves her.But I took care of that. I remember the night I spiked her drink, watching as she succumbed to the sedative. She talked herself to sleep immediately after the intense make-out, unaware that I had plans to bind her. And then, to cover my tracks, her phone wouldn't stop ringing. I picked up the next call, listening to her best friend's frantic worries and pleas
TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 156_ Far away
QUINN'S POVThe drive home was a quiet one. The moment Bryan stopped in front of my house, I quickly got out of his car, hurrying towards the door. I rang the bell repeatedly, knowing Eva would be annoyed by the late-night disturbance, but I didn't care.When she opened the door and saw me, her smeared expression of anger and irritation quickly changed to a broad smile as she swiftly enveloped me in a warm hug."Don't let him in," I whispered urgently, breaking free from her embrace and stepping inside.Bryan kept calling out to me behind me, but I refused to acknowledge him. I trusted Eva to handle the situation, so I collapsed onto the sofa. Overwhelmed with my emotions, I let the tears flow. Eva swiftly shut the door behind me. I could hear her consistently tell Bryan, "You need to leave. Now."I didn't hear his response, but Eva's firm tone made no room for argument. She turned her attention to me with concern written all over her."Quinn, oh my god, what happened?" she asked, ru
TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 155_ Stay away
I stared at the document in my hand, my eyes widening in shock. "Jasper Brown" was typed clearly on the signature line."Jasper?" I gasped aloud, my voice echoing through the warehouse."Yes?" I heard the sound of footsteps, followed by over six men who were walking towards me. Jasper was in the middle, a smug grin spreading across his face.Without thinking, I quickly lunged at him, but was held back by the masked man. "You scumbag!" I shouted. "How could you be the one behind all this?"Jasper chuckled. "Slow down, Bryan. You look like you're about to have a heart attack. Give him some water," he urged, nodding to one of his men.I scoffed. "You're sick, Jasper. I thought you claimed to love her?"He mimicked me, taunting. "I did? I don't have any business with your love life, Bryan. My only business is with you." He stressed my name, his expression changing from mocking to serious.I was stunned, standing there just staring at him. Jasper laughed, clearly enjoying himself. "You're
TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 154_ Who’s behind?
QUINN'S POV I've quite lost count of the days. Time feels so endless in this dark, cramped space, it's as though I've been trapped here for like an eternity, with no escape in sight.My mind is foggy, but I remember how my life used to be before this. Bryan, Eva, the shared laughter, and tears... it all feels so far away now. Things that I casually took for granted are what I desperately pray to have the chance to experience again.The only person I've seen since I've been here is him. My captor. He's always masked, always gloved. I've never seen his face, but his eyes... they're laced into my memory forever.He's been treating me... differently. Sometimes he's gentle, almost kind. Other times, he's cruel, taunting me with hints of freedom and snatching it away before I even grasp it.I tried to escape once. I waited until he was distracted, then made a run for the door. But it was locked, and he caught me easily. The punishment I received was... severe and my back still aches.I've

I 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 had been punch

I looked up from my laptop as my housekeeper entered the study. "What is it, Mrs. White?" I asked, my brows furrowed in concern."Two police officers are here to see you, sir," she replied, stepping aside."Two officers?" I wondered out loud, but quickly followed her anyway. We got downstairs and one of the officers, a tall, imposing figure with a stern expression, flashed his badge. "Officer Thompson, badge number 1456. This is my partner, Officer Lee. We have a search warrant for the premises, Mr Brown."I raised an eyebrow, interested. "What's this about?"Officer Thompson, whose eyes were fixed on mine, replied, "We believe one Ms. Quinn, a young woman reported missing, may be in your company, Mr. Jasper Brown."I looked at them, still confused. "With me? She left that night."Eva, standing beside the officers, her eyes blazing with accusation, snapped, "That's a lie! Check the whole house." I hadn't noticed her until she spoke.Officer Thompson's expression remained neutral. "I'm

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."
