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

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

TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 144_ In my head
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
TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 143_ Fear
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
TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 142_ Another Life
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
TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 141_ Before the disaster
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
TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 140_ The search for truth
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
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

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. "
TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 136_ Reconsideration
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
