TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 39_ Confrontation too far.
QUINN'S POVAs the day wore on, the lounge area grew busier. I was typing away on my computer when a woman walked in with her friend. She was dressed to the nines in designer clothing and jewelry, exuding an air of confidence and wealth.As I watched the woman settle into her seat, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. There was something about her that didn't sit right with me. She scanned the environment until her eyes landed on me.They settled in, and I cleared my table, moving to attend to her."Hello," the woman called, her voice dripping with disdain. "I need to place an order.""Of course," I replied, my tone neutral. "What can I help you with, ma’am ?"She scanned the menu, her eyes settling on every item before she finally settled on a drink. “Oh, I'll have a cosmopolitan.”I nodded, taking note of their order. As I handed her her drink, our hands slightly met, with her eyes fixed onto mine."You're quite familiar, aren’t you?" She asked. “You’re the lady who’s been s

I stood before Mr. Jenkins, feeling awful.knew I was in for a scolding, and I wasn't sure if I was ready for it. I looked down at my clothes, which were still damp from the drink the woman had poured on me. The memory of the incident is still fresh in my mind."I see you're still wet from the incident," Mr. Jenkins added. "I'm surprised you didn't think about changing your clothes before coming to see me."I shrugged, feeling a sense of embarrassment. "I didn't have time," I explained. "You asked me to come see you right away."Mr. Jenkins nodded, his expression unreadable. "Yes, I did. Because I wanted to talk to you about what happened. I've received complaints about your behavior today, Quinn. Complaints that you were rude to a customer, and that you seemed completely unprofessional."I felt a surge of defensiveness, but I tried to keep my cool. "That's not fair," I said, trying to explain. "The woman was being completely unreasonable. She was insulting me and making terrible com

TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 44_ Desperate plea
QUINN'S POVI glanced at my watch for what felt like the hundredth time, my eyes widening in surprise as I realized I'd been waiting for Bryan for four whole hours. This was unheard of - Bryan never kept me waiting for so long. In fact, it was usually the other way around; he'd often show up at my doorstep unannounced with a charming smile spreading across his face.But today was different. Today, I was the one waiting, and waiting some more. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, my eyes drifting towards the secretary who was typing away on her computer with a look of blatant disinterest on her face.I couldn't help but notice the sarcastic glint in her eye when she mentioned that he would be with me shortly earlier. It was as if she knew a secret I didn't, and it made my skin crawl. I began to wonder if she really told Bryan I was here. I sighed, my mind wandering back to the events of the past few days. It had been a whirlwind, to say the least. After appearing on TV to debunk the ru

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 37_ Surrender
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
