CHAPTER 111_Off guard

I walked into the café, fresh from my morning classes, as I scanned the room for Matt. And there he was, already seated, right on time.I made my way over, and he stood up to greet me with a warm hug."It's harder to see you lately, Quinn," he said, holding me at arm's length.I nodded sympathetically and took a seat."What can I get you to drink?" he asked."I'll have a caramel latte, please," I replied.Matt ordered for us, and as we waited for our drinks. I asked him, after noticing he wasn't going to speak. "How's work been treating you?"His expression turned grim, and he shook his head vigorously. "That's actually why I wanted to meet with you. I hope I didn't scare you by being so forward?""No, you didn't," I replied, my voice laced with concern."I just got worried. Is everything okay? Is it Eva?" I asked, my mind wandering.He paused for a moment, staring intently at me. "No, Quinn. What I'm about to say, I wouldn't want you to question me," he added, his eyes scanning the su

CHAPTER 112_ Checkmate

BRYAN'S POVAfter the big fight that ended with her slapping me, I decided to give her some space. I figured she needed time to calm down and think things through. But what I didn't know was that she had already moved on and started spending time with Jasper.I have to admit, I was caught off guard when I found out. I had one of my guys follow her car, and when he sent me the pictures, I couldn't believe my eyes. There she was, laughing and smiling with Jasper. It was like a punch to the gut.Since then, I've been keeping an eye on her from afar. I want to know what she's up to and who she's spending her time with. So when I found out, she had another hanging out with him.I personally assigned that project to her desk today. I don't care about protocol, I'm her boss, and I can do what I want. And I know she wouldn't try to get out of it.I become lenient and Jasper tries to play on my intelligence? I scoffed. I'm not going to let that happen.Just then, my phone buzzed, breaking my th

CHAPTER 113_ Shattered Much

Revealing Quinn. She was back.Her eyes widened with shock, as though she stumbled upon something she couldn’t believe."What did you just say? You placed a bet on me?…" She asked as she moved forward."Ugh?" Quinn repeated, her voice trembling with anger and hurt. "You used me as a tool in your game?"Her eyes moved between Jasper and me, as if searching for answers. But I could see the accusation and betrayal already written all over her face."How could you, Jasper?" she whispered, her voice cracking with emotion. "How could you do this to me?"Jasper's smirk disappeared. He took a step back, realizing he had been overheard. "Quinn, let me explain—" he started.But she wasn't having it. She cut him off, her voice rising in anger. "What am I to you? Some kind of prize to be won?"The room fell silent. I knew I had to say something, but I didn't know where to start.She wiped the tears that were threatening to fall." I came to pick up my phone" she announced. The phone was right on

CHAPTER 114_ A cry for help

QUINN'S POVI pulled into the driveway, my heart still heavy with emotions. I had nowhere else to go, no one else to turn to. Eva's house was my only refuge, and my sanctuary.I grabbed the spare key from underneath the mat and let myself in. The silence was deafening. Eva was always home, always waiting for me with a warm smile and a listening ear.But today, the house was empty.I walked through the rooms, calling out for her, but I got no response. I checked the kitchen, the living room, even the backyard. She was nowhere to be found.I realized that she was probably at the club, working her shift. I just hadn't been lucky enough to catch her at home today. I felt a wave of disappointment hit me, but I knew I could try to reach her later, or she could turn up soon, with a reasonable explanation and a warm hug.But until then, I was alone.I wandered around the empty house, feeling lost and angry. I had never felt so disconnected from everything and everyone. The silence itself was w

CHAPTER 115_ A cry for help 2

JASPER'S POVI stood outside Quinn's house, my eyes fixed on the door. I had been trying to apologize, to make her understand what really happened. But she wouldn't listen.Just as I was about to give up, Eva appeared beside me. "What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice firm.I turned to face her, but her eyes weren't on me. They were on Quinn's car, parked in the driveway. Her expression suddenly changed, as she stared point-blank at me. "What did you do to her?" she demanded.I opened my mouth to explain, but Eva wasn't interested. She pushed past me, rushing toward the front door. "Quinn!" she called out.I followed her, my heart racing. Eva burst through the door, and a few seconds later, her scream filled the air. I rushed inside, my eyes scanning the room.That's when I saw her. Quinn was slumped on the floor, her wrist... I felt a wave of horror wash over me.I rushed to her side, as we both tried to suppress the flow of blood. We couldn't do much, she was losing conscious

CHAPTER 116_Fractured Trust

QUINN'S POVI slowly opened my eyes, grogginess clouding my mind. Where was I? The last thing I remembered was...was Jasper's face. And then everything went black.A gentle voice spoke beside me. "Quinn, can you hear me?"I turned my head, wincing at the pain that shot through my temples. Eva's face came into focus, her eyes filled with concern."Wh-what happened?" I stuttered, trying to sit up.Her hands gently pressed me back onto the bed. "Don't try to move, Quinn. You're in the hospital. You were hurt pretty badly."Hurt? Hospital? Memories began to flood back – the house, the fight, Jasper's desperate eyes...Eva narrowed her eyes slightly. "If you weren't still recovering, I'd be tempted to slap some sense into you," she snapped, her voice firm but laced with worry. "What were you thinking, pulling a stunt like that? You scared me half to death."I looked down, feeling a sting of guilt. "I'm sorry, Eva," I mumbled.Her expression softened a little bit, but her tone remained stern

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.

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

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

CHAPTER 120_ Locked Cupboard

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. "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 m
