ALYANA POV

I didn’t go back to my room right away.

I told myself I would. That I’d sleep, clear my head, start fresh in the morning like everything wasn’t slowly shifting under my feet.

But my steps didn’t follow that plan.

Instead, I found myself walking down the longer corridor—the one that led away from the main wing, quieter, less used. The lights were dimmer here, softer, casting long shadows across the floor that stretched with every step I took.

I wasn’t lost.

I just… needed distanc

  • 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 125

    ALYANA POV I didn’t go back to my room right away. I told myself I would. That I’d sleep, clear my head, start fresh in the morning like everything wasn’t slowly shifting under my feet. But my steps didn’t follow that plan. Instead, I found myself walking down the longer corridor—the one that led away from the main wing, quieter, less used. The lights were dimmer here, softer, casting long shadows across the floor that stretched with every step I took. I wasn’t lost. I just… needed distance. From the conversation. From him. From the way everything felt like it was starting to blur into something I couldn’t control anymore. My fingers brushed lightly against the wall as I walked, grounding myself in something physical. Solid. Real. Because right now, nothing else felt steady. The document. The name. Leo’s certainty. Julian’s calm. None of it lined up cleanly. And I hated that. I stopped near the end of the hall, letting out a slow breath as I leaned back against the wa

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 124

    ALYANA POVI didn’t realize how quiet the mansion could get until I started noticing it on purpose.Not the peaceful kind of quiet. The kind that waits. The kind that feels like something is about to happen, even if nothing moves.I stood by the window in Julian’s study, fingers lightly resting against the edge of the desk, staring out at the dark stretch of the gardens. The lights outside barely reached the far end, leaving parts of it swallowed in shadow.It used to make me uneasy.Now… it just made me think.“You’ve been standing there for ten minutes.”I didn’t turn right away. His voice came from behind me, calm, low, like he had been watching longer than he admitted.“I didn’t realize you were keeping track,” I replied, my tone even.“I always do.”Of course he did.I finally turned, leaning back slightly against the desk. Julian stood near the doorway, sleeves rolled just enough

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 123

    ALYANA POVBy the time the afternoon settled in, the tension in the building had changed again.It wasn’t obvious at first. Nothing dramatic. No sudden shifts.Just small things.Assistants moving a little faster. Conversations cutting off a second too early. A few more phones out than usual, screens lighting up with messages that clearly weren’t about schedules or reports.I noticed it because I was already looking for patterns.And this one didn’t feel normal.I was standing beside Julian’s desk, reviewing the last set of documents we needed to finalize, when his phone buzzed.Once.Then again.He didn’t check it immediately.Which meant it mattered.“Are you going to ignore that?” I asked without looking up.“I’m finishing this first,” he said.Of course he was.I closed the file I was holding, setting it down carefully. “It’s been buzzing for the last thirty seconds.”“That doesn’t mean it’s urgent.”“It does when you don’t pick it up.”A small pause.Then he reached for it.His e

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 122

    ALYANA POV By the afternoon, the building felt different. Not quieter. Not louder. Just… aware. I noticed it the moment I stepped out of Julian’s office to handle the next set of documents. Conversations didn’t stop when I passed anymore. They shifted. Lowered just enough to sound controlled, but not enough to hide that they were happening. People weren’t pretending I didn’t exist. They were watching. And for the first time, I didn’t feel like avoiding it. I adjusted the folder in my hands and kept walking, my pace steady, my expression neutral. If they were going to look, then let them. I wasn’t here by accident anymore. “Alyana.” I slowed slightly at the sound of my name. Not Julian. I turned. One of the board members from earlier—Mr. Calder—was approaching, his steps measured, his expression polite but careful. “Do you have a minute?” he asked. I studied him for a second before nodding. “Depends.” A small smile. Controlled. “It won’t take long.” I shifted the folde

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 121

    ALYANA POVThe room didn’t feel the same after Elena left.It wasn’t just the silence. That, I was used to.It was the way the air seemed tighter, like something had been set in motion and neither of us could pretend otherwise.I stayed where I was, my fingers still resting against the edge of the desk, even after the door clicked shut behind her. For a moment, I just stared at it, like I expected her to walk back in and say something else.She didn’t.Of course she didn’t.“She’s testing you,” Julian said.I looked at him. “That wasn’t subtle.”“It wasn’t meant to be.”I exhaled slowly, pushing myself to move, stepping away from the desk just to break the stillness. “She’s not worried.”“No.”“She’s confident.”“Yes.”That shouldn’t have bothered me.But it did.Because confidence like that didn’t come from guessing.It came from knowing.Or thinking you did.I crossed my arms lightly, my thoughts running faster than I could organize. “Then we’re missing something.”Julian didn’t ans

    ALYANA POV I watched Elena disappear into the crowd, the bright red of her dress fading among the darker suits and glittering gowns. The music in the ballroom continued, soft and polite, but the air around me felt heavier after that short conversation. I folded my arms loosely, leaning a little 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 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

    Alyana POV I didn’t trust him—not even a little. Yet somehow, a few minutes later, I was walking beside Julian Vance down a long marble hallway. He was giving me a “tour” of the mansion, but with every step, the place felt less like a home and more like a high-end prison. The silence between us
