ALYANA POV

I didn’t go back to the meeting room.

I told myself I would. That I’d act like nothing shifted, like everything was still under control. But my feet had already made the decision for me before my mind could catch up.

Instead, I found myself standing in front of the restricted records office.

The hallway here was quieter than the others—less polished, less watched. Fluorescent lights instead of chandeliers. Plain walls. No glass panels. No unnecessary design.

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 131

    ALYANA POVThe next morning felt strange.Not bad.Not tense.Just… different.I noticed it the moment I walked into the dining room and saw Julian already there, reading something on his tablet while black coffee sat untouched beside him.Normally, the silence between us would’ve felt sharp. Careful.Now it felt too aware.Like both of us remembered exactly what happened in the study last night and were pretending not to.“You’re staring again,” he said without looking up.I immediately reached for the coffee pot. “You’re becoming irritatingly observant.”“I’ve always been observant.”“Yeah, but now you keep announcing it.”That finally made him glance up at me, and there it was again—that faint almost-smile that appeared more often lately.It still caught me off guard every time.I poured coffee into my cup before sitting across from him. “You’re in a suspiciously good mood.”“I’m drinking coffee.”“That’s not enough to explain it.”“Maybe you’re overanalyzing.”I gave him a flat lo

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 130

    ALYANA POVI stayed in the study longer than I meant to.At some point, the sky outside the windows had turned completely dark, the reflection of the room replacing the gardens beyond the glass. The only sounds left were the occasional turning of pages, the quiet hum of the air conditioner, and Julian moving around somewhere behind me.Not interrupting.Just existing in the same space.Which somehow felt more distracting.I sat cross-legged on the couch now, several folders spread across the table in front of me, my concentration starting to blur from staring at timestamps for too long.“This company keeps too many records,” I muttered.Julian glanced up briefly from where he stood near the bar cabinet. “That’s usually considered a good thing.”“Not when half of them contradict each other.”“That’s not the records’ fault.”I narrowed my eyes slightly. “You sound defensive.”“I sound realistic.”I let out a quiet breath through my nose before looking back down at the documents. “There

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 129

    ALYANA POVBy the time I got back to the mansion, the noise from the outside world hadn’t faded—it just followed me in a different form.Less obvious.More controlled.The staff greeted me the same way they always did—polite, composed—but there was a shift in their eyes. Not judgment. Not exactly curiosity either.Awareness.They knew.Of course they did.News like that didn’t stay outside the gates.I walked past them without slowing down, keeping my expression neutral, my steps steady. If anything had changed, I wasn’t going to let it show like it mattered.Not here.Not where everything already felt too… observed.The moment I reached the stairs, I heard it.“Alyana.”I stopped mid-step.I didn’t need to turn to know it was him.But I did anyway.Julian stood at the far end of the hallway, just outside his study. His sleeves were still rolled up, his posture relaxed but deliberate, like he had been waiting there long enough to look natural.Like this wasn’t a coincidence.“You’re h

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 128

    ALYANA POV The statement went live before lunch. I didn’t have to check. I felt it. The shift was immediate—like the entire building adjusted around it. Conversations changed tone. The looks I got weren’t just curious anymore. They were calculating. I sat at my desk, staring at my screen without really reading anything. My phone buzzed for the fifth time in less than a minute. Notifications. Messages. News alerts. I finally picked it up. “Vance Confirms Marriage—Alyana to Remain by Julian’s Side.” Short. Direct. Just like he said. My jaw tightened slightly as I scrolled through the reactions. Some were neutral. Some supportive. But most of them— Speculative. “Power move.” “Strategic wife.” “Temporary turned permanent?” I locked my p

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 127

    ALYANA POV By the time I stepped into the company building the next morning, something already felt off. It wasn’t obvious at first. No alarms, no loud whispers. Everything looked the same—employees walking, conversations happening, the usual rhythm of a normal day. But the way people looked at me? That was new. It wasn’t subtle anymore. They weren’t trying to hide it. Eyes followed me as I walked past. Conversations paused just a second too long. Even the receptionist, who usually greeted me like nothing fazed her, hesitated before forcing a polite smile. I slowed my steps slightly, my chest tightening. “What?” No one answered, of course. They just looked away too quickly. That was enough. I kept walking, my pace steady even if my thoughts weren’t. Something happened. And I w

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 126

    ALYANA POV The next morning didn’t feel new. It felt like a continuation of something I hadn’t finished. I arrived at the company earlier than usual, the city still settling into its rhythm, the lobby quieter, less crowded. But even with fewer people, the atmosphere didn’t feel lighter. If anything, it made everything sharper. More noticeable. More intentional. I walked straight to the elevators without stopping, my reflection briefly catching in the mirrored walls. Composed. Put together. Like I had everything under control. I didn’t. But I was getting better at looking like I did. When the elevator doors opened to the executive floor, I stepped out and headed directly toward the secured wing. No hesitation this time. No second-guessing. I already made the decision yesterday. Now I just had to follow through. The guard

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 44

    ALYANA POV The conference room felt colder than the rest of the mansion. Maybe it was the glass walls or the polished steel table that stretched almost the entire length of the room. Everything looked sharp and expensive, like it was designed to remind people they were sitting inside a powerful c

    ALYANA POVI went straight to the kitchen.Not because I was hungry, but because I needed a moment away from the strange tension outside. The moment the door closed behind me, the quiet inside the mansion felt almost too peaceful compared to what had just happened in the garden.I leaned against th

    ALYANA POV The next morning felt strangely normal. I woke up just after sunrise, the pale light already filtering through the tall windows of the east wing. For a few seconds I stayed still, listening to the quiet hum of the mansion waking up somewhere beyond my room. Yesterday kept replaying in

    ALYANA POV The moment I heard his voice, I got nervous. I didn’t even need to turn around to know who it was. Only one person in this house spoke that calmly in the middle of the night, like nothing ever surprised him. Julian. Leo’s fingers were still wrapped around my wrist when the sound of
