TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 47_ A debt to pay
MATT'S POVMy eyes remained on the small, silver watch on my wrist. It was an old one, one that brought back memories of my past. The watch had been a gift from my late father, a reminder of the life he'd left behind.As he stared at the watch, my mind began to wander. I thought about my dad, and about those arguments we would have, and the choices he ended up making. The memories came flooding back, and i felt that familiar pang of guilt and regret. It was a feeling that I’ve grown accustomed to over the years.I stood up, walking over to the window as he tried to shake off the emotions. But the memories lingered, haunting me like a ghost. I paused to wonder how different my life would have been if my dad had been around. Or not.I certainly did not grow up having things easy. I grew up having to work my ass off, and till date I’m still doing just that. Did things become easier? No. They only got complicated. How do I explain that the lady I’m asked to gawk over has become one of my

QUINN'S POVToday was a really busy day at Eclipse. I couldn't help but notice the buzz of excitement in the club. The VIP section was packed with dignitaries and celebrities, all of whom were there for the special event. "Lucky me" my subconscious scoffed, excited that I wasn't assigned to that section. I wasn't done dealing with the fame and the protruding eyes Bryan's involvement left on me. Any appearance in that room might result in another scandal that I wasn't prepared for.I leaned in to Rachel, who was busy mixing drinks behind the bar. "What's going on tonight?" I asked her. "The VIP section is packed."she responded.Rachel nodded discreetly. "It's Marcus Thompson's birthday party," she whispered. "A wealthy philanthropist, he's a well-known entrepreneur in the city, and many of the city's elite have come out in numbers to celebrate with him. He's also invited all of his closest friends and allies, and they're all gathered in the VIP section."I raised an eyebrow. "No wonder

I stood in front of my closet, scanning the rows of dresses and tops, trying to decide what to wear for my date with Jasper. We had plans to meet at 7 pm, and I wanted to make a good impression at least.As I rummaged through my wardrobe, trying on several dresses, I finally settled on a red evening gown that hugged my curves in all the right places. I felt confident and beautiful as I slipped on my heels and grabbed my clutch.Just as I was about to leave the house, I heard a knock at the door. Right on time. I smiled, knowing that it was Jasper. I took a deep breath, smoothed out my dress, and made my way to the door.When I opened it, I was surprised to see Jasper standing in front of a sleek, black limousine. He was dressed in a pair of light blue pants and a white shirt. His shirt had three buttons opened, slightly revealing his shirt.And I must admit he looked hot. His eyes sparkled as he smiled at me."Wow, you look stunning," he said, his eyes roaming over my dress. I blushed

Jasper nodded, a faraway look in his eyes. "Yes, really," he said. "My family has a home there, and I spent most of my childhood running around the streets of Paris."I leaned in, my curiosity piqued. "What was it like, growing up in Paris?" I asked.He smiled. "It was amazing," he added. "My family is...well, they're quite wealthy, and we had a beautiful home in the heart of the city."His eyes seemed to glaze over, lost in thought, as he began to tell me about his childhood. "I grew up in a wealthy family, but we weren't among the richest in Europe.I leaned in, getting fascinated by the story. "What was it like, growing up in wealth then?" I asked."It was...complicated if I must say," he started. "My family had a lot of money, but my parents were always distant. They were more interested in their business dealings than in raising me.""So, you basically raised yourself?" I asked, laughing.Jasper nodded. "No... Yeah, something like that. He smiled, showing his perfect white set of

I walked out of the supermarket, my hands filled with bags of groceries. I decided to use my weekend to do some shopping for the house.As I walked out into the sunlight, I didn't notice the figure standing in front of me until I bumped into him."Sorry!" I exclaimed, and stumbled backward, trying to grasp the items that fell off. He beat me to that, picking them up and stretching his arms to give them. That was when our eyes met. I was surprised to see Matt standing in front of me. We hadn't spoken in a while, and I had been avoiding him all week at work. Well, because of our last encounter. But now it seemed like fate has brought us together.Matt seemed to sense my unease. "Quinn, hey," he called in a low tone, trying to grab me.I hesitated, unsure of how to respond. I just stared at him. He looked at the bags in my arms. "Need some help?" he asked.I shook my head. "No, I'm good."Matt nodded, but he didn't move. Instead, he looked at me with a serious expression. "Quinn, can I t

As I sat in class, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. The rumors and gossip that had been circulating around school after my encounter with the media seemed to have finally died down. The constant stares and whispers had been getting to me, but now, I was finally able to focus on my schoolwork without feeling like I was under a microscope or people watching me like a hawk. Everyone wanted to sound trendy or even make an interesting story line out of me.I pulled out my notes and began to review them with the ones I borrowed from the class representative. She gave it to me without much hassle. It was nice to be able to blend in again, to be just another student in the classroom.A normal life was all I wanted.Just as I was starting to get into my studying mode, my phone buzzed with an incoming text. I glanced down, trying not to draw attention to myself.The text was from Jasper. "Hey Quinn, hope you're having a great day. I was thinking, would you like to go out again someti

Friday afternoon at the club.I stood alongside my coworkers in the cramped back room of Eclipse, listening to Mr. Jenkins addressed us."Tonight's party is a big deal, people," he said, in a stern voice. "We've got a VIP guest hosting a party to celebrate a major business deal, and I expect nothing but the best service from all of you."He paused, scanning the room before his eyes landed on me."I've also selected a special team to handle the VIP table. Quinn, Rachel, and Emily, you three will be responsible for making sure our guest and his party are well taken care of."I felt a surge of regret about being chosen, but also a little nervous. I had heard rumors that the VIP was one of the city's elites, and they were known for making incessant demands. I just wasn't ready to be on someone's door mat tonight.Mr. Jenkins handed us each a folder containing information about the VIP's party, including the menu and drink preferences."Remember, that this is a high-stakes get-together," he

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 me

TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 125
I woke up to an empty bed, my hands searching for any sign of Bryan. I had been so exhausted the night before, after showering and collapsing onto the bed. My body had been screaming for rest, and I had finally given in.As I lay there, I had felt Bryan come in later that night. He had pulled me closer to him, wrapping his arms around me and holding me tight. I had felt a sense of safety and security in his arms, and I had finally been able to drift off to sleep.But now, as I woke up to an empty bed, I felt a pang of disappointment. I had been hoping that Bryan would still be there, that we could spend the morning together.As I searched the bed for any sign of Bryan, my hands suddenly stopped moving. I looked up to see Bryan standing in front of me, a smile on his face."Good morning," he said, his eyes sparkling with amusement.I opened my eyes in shock, springing up from the bed. "Bryan!" I exclaimed, my heart racing with surprise.Bryan only laughed, his eyes crinkling at the cor

lSoon the driver arrived, and I got in, my mind still reeling from the event that had just happened.I pulled out my phone and started to dial Bryan's number. I was going to confront him but hung up on second thought.Maybe I should go to Eva, except that I didn't want to disturb her either. Besides, I'm not sure if she's ready to talk to me yet.I needed a distraction, something to channel this anger and frustration into. I spotted a small art studio nearby and quickly asked the driver to stop. I made my way inside. The smell of paint enveloping me, and calming my racing thoughts. It looked like a paint and sip recreational center, but it seemed quiet today.I settled in at a stand, picking up a brush and dipping it into a bright shade of blue. As I began to paint, I felt my tension slowly began to ease, replaced by a sense of calmness and focus.Just as I was getting lost in the creative process, my phone buzzed again. I hesitated, wondering if it was worth it. But as I looked ove

As I spotted her, I caught her eyes and nodded subtly towards the backyard. She nodded back in understanding as we both slipped away from the crowd.Once we were outside, Eva turned to me, her expression serious. "I've been waiting for you to resume work for the longest," she said as her eyes scanned me with a mixture of concern and curiosity.I let out a small laugh, trying to downplay the severity of my injuries. "I'm better, Eva. Just a few bruises here and scratches."But she wasn't buying it. She rolled her eyes, and took a step closer to me. "Are you ready then to tell me what's happening? Who did this to you?" she demanded, her voice firm.I tried to brush it off, resorting to the same excuse I had given them earlier. "I had already told you guys, I got into a fight..." But Eva wasn't having it.She cut me off mid-sentence. "Na-uh. You can tell that crap to Quinn, not me, Matt. I'm not daft!" She crossed her arms, her eyes flashing with annoyance.I raised my right hand in t

"Sir?" she called, poking her head into the room.I turned my attention towards her. "Yes? You can come in."She stepped inside, with a discreet envelope in her hand. "A courier just dropped this off, sir. It's marked 'urgent' and 'personal'."My eyes narrowed slightly as I took the envelope from her hand. It had my name typed on the front, but there was no indication of who had sent it or what it might contain."Thank you. That's all for now." I announced, dismissing her. She nodded and backed out of the room, closing the door softly behind her.I scanned the contents of the envelope, my expression darkened. "This is highly unacceptable. No, I wouldn't let her walk away from the agreement so easily."I picked up my phone and dialed my lawyer. "I need you to come to my office, right now.""Is everything okay, Mr Braxton?" His calm tone replied along the line."Well, if you get here now, you'll figure that out." I dropped the call.-----------------I spent the remaining few minutes pa

I finished gathering my belongings, rolling my box out of the house. Eva had the most pitiful face on. She wrapped me in a tight hug. "Promise me you'll often call and stay safe," she whispered, her voice trembling.I nodded, trying to reassure her. "I will, Eva. Don't worry."It's another morning, except that this is a not so bright one. I looked around Bryan's bedroom, my temporary prison.As I began to pack the few belongings I'd be taking with me. I was doing this. I was staying there, in this gilded cage, until I figured out my next move."I can do this," I said to myself, trying to sound convincing. "Maybe, I can stay here, play the part, and bide my time. It's not going to be forever. Just until I figure out what to do"But the truth was, I had no idea how to escape Bryan's grasp. He had eyes and ears everywhere, and if I tried to run, he'd find me. Underneath the moon and the stars, he'd find me.I shuddered at the thought, pushing it aside as I lifted the carton, moving it to

MATT'S POVI navigated through the crowded hallway of Eclipse, scanning the area for Eva. We needed to talk, and I'd been waiting for a chance to grab her attention.As I spotted her, I caught her eyes and nodded subtly towards the backyard. She nodded back in understanding as we both slipped away from the crowd.Once we were outside, Eva turned to me, her expression serious.

TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 119_ Making Amends
I stood outside the sleek, modern building, checking the address on the piece of paper for what felt like the hundredth time. This was it – the office of Mrs. Stone, Jasper's lawyer.I took a deep breath, smoothing out my dress and mentally preparing myself for the meeting.As I pushed open the door, I stepped into an elegant lobby. The receptionist looked up from behind the desk, smiling politely."Can I help you?" she asked."I'm here to see Mrs. Stone," I replied, trying to sound confident. "I have an appointment."The receptionist nodded, typing something into her computer. "Of course, Mrs. Stone is expecting you. Please, take a seat, and I'll let her know you're here."I sat down in one of the plush chairs, flipping through a magazine I saw on the desk to distract myself. I came for something important – something that could change my entire life.After a few minutes, the receptionist called out to me. "Mrs. Stone will see you now."I stood up, taking a deep breath as I followed
TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 118_ A change of heart
QUINN'S POVI watched Matt.A million questions flowed through my mind. He was lying. I didn't know how, but my instinct told me he was hiding something.Seeing his battered body made me want to puke. Who could have possibly done this to him? I thought back to our previous discussion.Could it be Jasper... or Bryan?Just because his story wasn't adding up, it seemed too convenient and too rehearsed.He tried to speak, his voice low, almost coming off as a whisper "Concerning our previous discussion, Quinn... permit me to take that back?"I narrowed my eyes, my grip on the ice pack tightening. "What are you talking about, Matt?" Matt's gaze fixed on mine, his eyes pleading. "About... what I said. I was mistaken. I didn't mean to—"My anger boiled over. "Mistaken?" I repeated, my voice rising. "You showed me a picture, Matt. You told me things. What are you trying to take back?""I…I just didn’t want you to end up with him." He stammered, his eyes darting between Eva and I. "Yes, I got
TRAPPED BY A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 117_ Broken bones
MATT'S POVI slowly opened my eyes. Everything hurt. My body felt broken. I tried to move, but the pain shooting through me was unbearable.I remembered the beatings. I also remembered the sound of my bones cracking, the feel of my skin tearing. I was lying in a dark room, chained to the wall. I struggled to sit up, but it hurt too much."Jasper..." I whispered. I was angry, but I couldn't do anything.I waited, hoping someone would come and help me. But I knew I couldn't trust anyone. Not even myself.I slowly sat up, wincing in pain. One of the men soon stepped in, bringing me a bottle of water. "Hey, Man, you're finally awake? you've been out for days," he announced.I took the water, my hands shaking as I unscrewed the cap. I took a sip, feeling the cool liquid soothe my dehydrated throat.Just as I was starting to feel a bit better, another guard, Jake, spoke up. "I'll go tell the boss that he's awake," he said, as he made his way to exit the room.I shot them both a cold stare.
