Mrs. Hills appeared at the doorway, her silhouette framed by the soft glow of the corridor lamps. Her voice was even, steady, but carried that quiet authority that never needed to be raised.

“Miss Lena, your presence is required upstairs. Mr. Carter has summoned you.”

My stomach tightened at the sound of his name. Mr. Thomas Carter.

I turned toward Mrs. Hills, searching her face for a clue, any hint of why I was being called, but she gave me nothing, just a polite nod, her hands folded neatly in front of her. She was loyal to the family first, always.

Behind me, I felt Zane’s eyes. The sharp pull of his silence. He leaned back releasing his grip tightened on my arm, his jaw flexing, but he said nothing.”

And yet, I felt him on my skin as I turned away, the silence heavy, pressing at my back with every step I took down the corridor.

My heels clicked against the marble floor, echoing louder than they should have, each sound punctuating the hush of the house. My mind wouldn’t still. What

  • Three Hot Billionaires Brothers wants Me    Chapter 19

    The silence after Liam left was crushing, like the house itself was holding its breath.Zane still stood there, chest heaving, his fists trembling at his sides. His eyes burned on me, not on the necklace, not on the chain still heavy against my throat, but on me.For a moment, I thought he might speak, might say the words I was too afraid to hear. But instead, his jaw locked tighter, and without another word, he turned and walked out.Just like that.The echo of his boots down the hall felt like thunder cracking my ribs. I wanted to call after him, to beg him not to leave me standing there, shaking, with Liam’s claim still burning against my skin. But no sound came. My lips moved, my chest heaved, but all that came was silence.And so I was left with the necklace—the star charm pressed against my chest like a curse, like proof that I was nothing but a rope in their war.I didn’t sleep that night. How could I? Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Liam’s smirk. I saw Zane’s fury. And wors

    Liam’s smirk didn’t falter. If anything, it curved darker, more dangerous, as if he was feeding on the tension clawing at the air. His hand rose, unhurried, deliberate, and then his fingertips brushed the hollow of my throat.The touch was maddeningly slow, like a deliberate claim, like he was daring Zane to tear him away from me. His fingers lingered there, warm against the most fragile part of me, a place no one touched without meaning something.A shiver tore down my spine. My knees buckled, traitorous, and my chest seized like my lungs had forgotten how to breathe. Every nerve screamed at me to push him back, but my body betrayed me, caught in the fire of his touch. My heart slammed against my ribs, wild and frantic, as if it didn’t know whether to fight or surrender.I turned, desperate, needing to break free before I shattered completelyBut he was already there.Zane.Blocking my escape, filling the space with his storm-dark gaze. His jaw was tight, his fists curled, his presen

    I didn’t sleep that night. Not really.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Zane's burning stare, Liam’s razor smile, and Kai’s whisper searing into my ear like a brand: Tomorrow. Nine o’clock.The thought twisted in me, gnawed at me, made my body hum with something I didn’t dare name. Half of me wanted to slam my door in his face, the other half… wanted to open it wide.By morning, my head felt heavy, my heart restless. I sat at the edge of my bed, towel-damp hair spilling down my shoulders, staring at the clock like it held all my answers. Should I go? Should I even think about going? Every sensible part of me screamed no. But my body remembered the heat in Kai’s eyes, the command in his tone, and the way my knees almost buckled when he leaned in.I pressed my palms against my thighs, grounding myself. Don’t be stupid, Lena. Don’t let them pull you deeper into this madness.A knock shattered my thoughts. Three sharp raps against the door.I jerked, breath caught. Him? Already?But whe

    The door flew wide open, steam spilling out like smoke from a crime scene.And there he was. Zane.His sharp eyes locked on me, then shifted, past me, to the shadow standing in the mist. His lip curled.“Kai,” he said, voice low, lethal. “What the hell are you doing in Lucy’s room?”My breath snagged. Kai stepped forward, chest bare, water dripping down his skin, but his face was stone.“The lock was broken,” he said smoothly. “I came to check on her.”Zane’s laugh was harsh, cruel. “Check on her? Half-naked? In the steam?” He tilted his head, eyes narrowing, fire flickering in them. “Try harder.”My chest squeezed. I opened my mouth to speak, but before I could, another voice cut in.“Enough.”Liam.He stepped into view, hands in his pockets, with that usual mocking calm in his tone. But this time, there was something else too. Something heavier.“Don’t waste your energy, Zane. He’s not the only one you should be questioning.”Zane’s head snapped toward him. “What the hell are you ta

    “Kai…” His name tumbled from my lips like a secret I wasn’t ready to confess, fragile and trembling in the haze.His eyes burned into me, unblinking, pulling me into their storm. I expected him to move, to look away, to flee the way any sane man would, but he didn’t. He stepped closer instead, the steam curling around him like smoke feeding a fire.The air thickened. My chest rose and fell too fast, too shallow. He was so close now I could feel the weight of his presence pressing through the glass, heavy and intoxicating. My body, traitorous and wild, leaned toward him, as if his gravity had claimed me.“You think I wanted this,” he said at last, his voice low, jagged, like it had been torn from his throat. “You think I came here on purpose?”I swallowed, the words stuck in my throat, my skin prickling with heat. “Didn’t you?”His jaw clenched, his gaze dragging down my body before he cursed under his breath, looking away for the first time. “God, Lena… you have no idea what you’re do

    “Who’s there?”My voice trembled against the hiss of water, swallowed by steam and nerves. Soap clung to my lashes, blurring the world, my heart hammering as though the walls themselves were closing in.No answer.Only the whisper of the door as it creaked wider, the sound slicing through the silence like a secret being spilled.Panic surged down my spine. The lock, I had never clicked it. My throat went dry, lips parting as I struggled to steady the air thick with tension.“Who’s there?” I tried again, sharper this time, though it cracked at the edges.Still nothing.Just the scrape of shoes against tile, slow, deliberate, unhurried.Not the careless shuffle of a passerby.Not the quick stride of someone in a rush.No. Whoever it was wanted me to hear them. Wanted me to know they were here.The sound echoed off the bathroom walls, sharp and steady, each step a countdown that made my pulse hammer harder. My skin prickled, goosebumps rising even though steam swirled thick and hot aroun
