The knock on my door came at 2 a.m.

It wasn’t a polite tap. It was firm. Measured. Like the person on the other side already knew I was awake.

I froze.

For a second, I thought about pretending I wasn’t in. But then a voice slid through the wood like smoke.

“Open the door, Lena.”

Zane.

My pulse kicked up. That kiss was still seared into my skin, and now here he was, in the middle of the night, at my door, like some unfinished sentence.

I opened it just enough to see him leaning against the doorframe, shirt unbuttoned at the collar, tie hanging loose. His hair was a little messy, like he’d been running a hand through it for hours.

He didn’t smile.

“Can I come in?” he asked.

I hesitated. “It’s late.”

He stepped in anyway.

The air in my room changed the second the door shut behind him. It was heavier. Charged.

He didn’t look at me right away. Just walked to the window, glanced out at the city like he was checking for ghosts, then turned back.

“You shouldn’t be here alone.”

I folded my arms. “I’m fine.”

“No,” he said, his voice a quiet blade. “You’re not. Liam’s been asking about you.”

My stomach tightened. “Asking what?”

He moved closer, slow, deliberate. “What you’ve seen. What you know. Why you’re here.”

“I already told you”

He cut me off. “Lena, you think you can outplay him? He’s not like me. He won’t flirt with you, or warn you. He’ll gut you while smiling.”

“Then why are you warning me?” I shot back.

Something flickered in his eyes, something raw, almost painful. “Because I know what it feels like to be hunted in this house.”

I swallowed, my voice softer now. “By Liam?”

His jaw clenched. “By all of them.”

I didn’t realize how close we were until his breath touched my cheek. My heart hammered, and I hated that part of me wanted him to close the space completely.

Instead, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box.

“What is that?” I asked.

“Something you’re going to wear tomorrow,” he said, opening it to reveal a diamond pendant, elegant, understated, but clearly expensive enough to buy a small car.

“I can’t accept this”

“It’s not a gift,” he interrupted. “It’s protection.”

I frowned. “From what? A bad fashion review?”

His lips twitched, but his eyes stayed serious. “It has a tracker. If something happens, I’ll find you.”

A chill slid down my spine. “You make it sound like something’s going to happen.”

He didn’t answer.

Instead, he stepped behind me, brushing my hair aside as he clasped the necklace around my neck. His fingers grazed my skin, and I shivered despite seeing myself.

“There,” he murmured near my ear. “Now I can breathe.”

I turned to face him, ready to ask a thousand questions, but his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen, his expression darkening instantly.

“What is it?” I asked.

He looked up at me. “Stay in your room. Lock the door. Don’t open it for anyone but me.”

And just like that, he was gone.

  • Three Hot Billionaires Brothers wants Me    chapter 92

    The Carter mansion didn’t look like home anymore. It looked like a warzone. Well it has never looked like one anyway.Floodlights cut through the night, painting the marble steps in harsh white. Journalists crowded the gates, cameras flashing like lightning, microphones shoved through the iron bars. Police held the line, but even they looked nervous as the mob surged against them.Inside the gates, a red carpet stretched across the drive like a vein of blood. At the far end stood Mr. Carter himself, flanked by lawyers, board members, and security. He had turned the mansion into a stage, and tonight’s performance was ours to lose.Liam’s jaw tightened. “He planned this down to the second.”“No,” Zane muttered darkly, tugging at his cufflinks. “He planned this to bleed us dry.”Kai didn’t speak. His eyes flicked across the scene, cold, calculating. And then he looked at me.“Stay sharp, Lena. This isn’t just about us anymore. He’s dragging you into it.”My pulse thudded against my ribs.

  • Three Hot Billionaires Brothers wants Me    Chapter 91

    Liam’s lips hovered above mine, a whisper away. His eyes were raw, desperate, filled with nothing but me. My heart thundered, one breath more and I would have let him in.And then the world shattered.His body jolted violently against me, eyes flaring wide with shock. A brutal impact had struck him down from behind. I gasped, clutching his weight as he staggered, blood already trailing from his temple.Out of the shadows stepped Zane. No grin. No charm. Just wildfire in his eyes and a weapon dripping menace in his hand.“Get your hands off her,” he spat, voice like venom.“Zane!” The scream ripped from me. “What the hell are you doing?”“What I should have done a long time ago,” he snarled, pointing the blade toward Liam. “He doesn’t get to use you as his damn confession booth.”Liam caught himself on the stone wall, fury tightening his jaw even as blood trickled down his face. “You’ve lost your mind.”“No,” Zane hissed, gaze snapping to me. “I’ve found it. And it’s her.”The heat bet

  • Three Hot Billionaires Brothers wants Me    Chapter 90

    The next morning, my head was still a battlefield. Sleep had done nothing to quiet it,if anything, the silence had sharpened every thought until they cut me from the inside out. I felt feverish, my body running hot with anger, disappointment, and the ache of questions I couldn’t stop asking myself. I needed air. No, more than air. I needed something cold, something that could freeze the storm under my skin. A freezer, an ice bath, anything that could quiet the fire I was burning in.I slipped out quietly, hoping no one would notice. The walls of the mansion felt too close, too heavy. My bare feet carried me across the hall and out toward the terrace where the morning breeze pressed against my face, cool but not nearly enough.“Lena…”The sound of my name broke across the silence. His voice. Liam’s.I froze but didn’t answer. Not the first time.“Lena…” He tried again, lower this time, coaxing.I clenched my jaw and pulled my shawl tighter around me, refusing to give him the satisfacti

  • Three Hot Billionaires Brothers wants Me    Chapter 89

    The scarred man’s name still rang in my ears like a summons. Lena. One syllable, and the room had turned into a courtroom where I stood accused before I’d even had a chance to breathe.That night, nothing made sense. Every whisper of wind across the villa’s glass sounded like a footstep. Every distant door closing was someone's voice, plotting. The brothers moved like caged animals, sharp, watchful, circling. I could feel them like pressure points: Liam’s protective heat at my shoulder, Zane’s hungry tension in the air, Kai’s cool watchfulness at the edges.Sleep fled me. I lit a cigarette I didn’t want and watched the smoke ghost the room. The photograph of my mother lay on the bedside table, a quiet accusation. I touched it like a talisman and felt only brittle paper.Then the house screamed.Glass shattered with a violence that knocked the breath from me. My heart shot up into my throat before my body even registered movement. Adrenaline made my limbs move on their own, toward the

    “What… What… What…”The three of them shouted at once, voices colliding like broken records stuck on the same jagged note. The sound wasn’t just surprise, it was fury, disbelief, and fear tangled into one violent chord.Liam’s eyes burned into me, blue fire laced with betrayal. Zane’s jaw dropped before curving into a dangerous grin, madness flickering at the edges of his smirk. And Kai, steady, unreadable Kai, his calm finally cracked, a storm brewing beneath the silence he wore like armor.They were shaken. Shattered.I looked at them, then looked away. Not because I was ashamed. No, because I knew exactly what they were thinking. I knew the war was tearing through their heads. They still wanted to protect their own. To protect the Carter empire, the Carter name, their perfect glass castle built on lies. And me? They wanted me buried inside that silence, swallowed whole, erased like my parents.Well, not anymore.My throat tightened, but I forced the words out, each syllable steady,

  • Three Hot Billionaires Brothers wants Me    Chapter 87

    My hand trembled as though it too carried the weight of his words. For a moment, I couldn’t even blink.Liam’s fists clenched at his sides, jaw tight. His voice came out rough, raw. “Wait, what was her concern in all this? Why go after my father for having an affair with Mrs. Hills?”The man’s lips curled into something between a sneer and a sigh. His gaze flicked between us, lingering on me. “Because, kid… Lena’s mother and Mrs. Hills were once like sisters. Best friends. Until Lena’s father entered the picture. Mrs. Hills claimed he was hers, like property, and your mother stole him. That seed of envy never died. It rotted and spread, until it became an obsession.”A shiver ran down my spine. My heart ached, not just from the betrayal, but from the thought of my mother unknowingly carrying a target on her back all those years.He continued, voice tightening. “Your father didn’t help matters. Even before your mother died, he began sneaking around with Mrs. Hills. Imagine what that d
