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 my head.

The gallery.

Lunch.

Julian showing up again at night like he had known exactly where I would be.

I rubbed my face with both hands and sat up slowly.

My body felt rested, but my mind did

    ALYANA P.O.V"My father?"The words came out before I even realized I'd spoken.Julian gave a small nod."He arrived about five minutes ago."I stared at him, waiting for him to say he was joking. That someone else had the same last name. That I'd heard him wrong.He didn't.The boardroom suddenly felt too small.People were still packing up around us, chairs scraping against the floor, quiet conversations starting again now that the meeting was over. A few glanced our way before pretending they weren't listening.I lowered my voice."What is he doing here?""I don't know.""You haven't talked to him?""No.""He just... showed up?"Julian nodded once."He asked to see you."A dry laugh escaped me."Of course he did."I looked away, rubbing my forehead.This couldn't be happening today.Not after everything with Elena.Not after sitting through that meeting.Not after spending weeks trying to prove I belonged here.Now my father had decided to walk into the middle of it.Perfect timing

    ALYANA POVThe room went completely silent.Nobody moved.Nobody spoke.Every pair of eyes turned toward the older board member standing near the end of the table.I recognized him immediately.Mr. Harrington.One of the longest-serving members of the board.The kind of man who rarely spoke unless he had something important to say.Which was exactly why the room felt so tense now.Elena was the first to recover."What are you talking about?"Her voice sounded calm.Too calm.The kind of calm people used when they were trying very hard not to panic.Mr. Harrington looked at her.Then he adjusted his glasses."I'm talking about the leak."The chairman shifted uncomfortably."Perhaps this isn't the place—""It is exactly the place."Mr. Harrington's interruption surprised everyone.Including me.The chairman immediately fell quiet.Julian remained standing beside me.Watching.Listening.Waiting.I glanced at him briefly.His expression hadn't changed.But something told me he already kn

    ALYANA POVFor a second, I thought I heard him wrong."They want to remove me?"Julian's expression didn't change."That's the proposal."A cold laugh escaped me before I could stop it."That's ridiculous.""I agree.""Then why are we even talking about it?"Because deep down, I already knew the answer.Corporate boards didn't call emergency meetings for fun.They called them when they believed they had enough support to make something happen.Julian looked at me for a moment."They think you're a liability."There it was.The word I had been expecting.Liability.Not employee.Not executive.Not person.Just a problem that needed to be removed.I folded my arms across my chest and looked away.For some reason, that bothered me more than the leaked contract.Maybe because scandal

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 138

    ALYANA POVThe room stayed quiet after Julian's question.What if they're not making it up?I stared at him.For a second, I honestly thought I had heard him wrong.Maybe because Julian wasn't the kind of man who spoke without thinking.Every word that came out of his mouth usually had a purpose behind it.But right now?He looked serious.Too serious.My fingers tightened around the tablet."You're joking.""I'm not."I let out a short laugh.The sound came out strange even to me.Unsteady.Because somehow, that answer made me more nervous than Elena's interview.More nervous than the leaked contract.More nervous than the reporters waiting outside.Julian wasn't looking away.Neither was I.And that was becoming a problem."People online don't know anything," I said finally."They never do.""No."His voice stayed calm."But sometimes they notice things."I hated that answer.Mostly because I couldn't immediately argue with it.The charity gala photo was still displayed on the scree

    ALYANA POVThe silence after Julian's words felt heavier than anything Elena had said during that interview.Tomorrow, I'm giving her one.I stared at him."That's exactly what she wants."Julian didn't respond immediately.He walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window and loosened his tie slightly. It wasn't a dramatic gesture. Most people probably wouldn't have noticed it.I did.Because Julian only touched that tie when he was irritated.Really irritated."Julian.""I know what she wants.""Then don't give it to her."His reflection stared back at me through the glass."She leaked private company documents.""I know.""She dragged your name through the media.""I know.""She used Leo."That one landed differently.His jaw tightened.There it was.Not jealousy.Not exactly.But something close enough that I felt it immediately.I crossed my arms."Leo didn't do anything.""He met with you.""Because he was helping me."Julian finally turned around.The look in his eyes made my pulse

    ALYANA POVFor a moment, neither of us moved.The words hung in the air between us.Elena just scheduled a live interview.I stared at Julian."What kind of interview?"His jaw tightened."The kind designed to cause damage."I hated how calm his voice sounded.Not because he didn't care.Because he did.The calmer Julian became, the angrier he usually was underneath.He looked down at his phone again before setting it on the conference table."They announced it ten minutes ago."I folded my arms across my chest."About the contract?""About us."Something twisted in my stomach.I already knew what that meant.Elena wasn't interested in facts.She was interested in humiliation.The difference mattered."When does it start?"Julian glanced at the time."Now."I let out a slow breath."Of course."Without another word, he picked up the remote and turned on the large screen mounted on the wall.The broadcast appeared almost instantly.A bright studio.A smiling host.And Elena.Perfectly

    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 POV I barely slept. The message from Leo stayed in my mind long after I turned off the lights. I must have read it at least twenty times before finally placing my phone on the bedside table and forcing myself to close my eyes. Tomorrow night. Service entrance. Midnight. It sounded simple

    ALYANA POVThe mansion felt unusually quiet when we stepped inside.Most nights the staff moved around the halls like shadows—soft footsteps, distant voices, the faint sound of dishes somewhere in the kitchen. Tonight everything felt still, like the entire house had decided to sleep early.Julian h

    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
