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

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 134

    ALYANA POVI knew something was wrong the second I stepped into the building.Not because people were staring. I was already used to that.It was the silence.The kind that spread too carefully.Conversations stopping the moment I walked past. Assistants suddenly pretending to focus on tablets. Employees avoiding eye contact a little too quickly.My heels slowed against the marble floor as I glanced around the lobby.Something had already happened.“Miss Alyana.”I turned toward Mia from the communications department. She looked nervous. More nervous than usual.“Good morning,” I said carefully.Her lips parted like she wanted to say something, then stopped herself. “Mr. Vance is waiting upstairs.”That answered absolutely nothing.I pressed the elevator button. “What happened?”She hesitated.That hesitation alone made my stomach tighten.“There’s... media outside,” she admitted quietly.I frowned. “About what?”This time, she didn’t answer at all.The elevator doors opened behind me

    ALYANA POVThe boardroom was already tense before we even walked in.I felt it the second the doors opened.Too many eyes.Too much silence.The long table was nearly full, every seat occupied except the two at the center reserved for Julian and me. Some of the board members avoided looking directly at us. Others stared openly, curiosity barely hidden behind polished corporate expressions.And then there was Elena.Of course she looked perfectly calm.She sat near the far end of the table in a cream-colored suit, legs crossed neatly, one hand resting lightly against the armrest like she didn’t just leak my marriage agreement to the entire media.When her eyes landed on me, she smiled.Not warmly.Not politely.Strategically.I immediately hated it.Julian stepped slightly closer beside me before guiding me toward our seats without a word. That small movement shouldn’t have mattered.But it did.Because everyone noticed it too.I sat down carefully, keeping my expression neutral even t

    ALYANA POVThe company lobby looked completely different when people thought they knew your secrets.I felt it the second I walked through the entrance beside Julian.The stares weren’t subtle anymore.Neither were the whispers.Some employees looked away the moment I glanced at them. Others stared too long before pretending they weren’t. Phones lit up everywhere. Conversations stopped mid-sentence.Yesterday, I would’ve hated it enough to turn around and leave.Today, I just felt tired.Julian noticed the shift in me immediately.His hand brushed lightly against the small of my back as we walked toward the elevators. Not possessive. Not forced.Steady.Grounding.“You don’t have to look at them,” he said quietly.“I know.”But it was hard not to.Especially when I could practically hear the assumptions hanging in the air around us.Gold digger.Contract wife.Strategic marriage.I kept my expression neutral anyway, stepping into the elevator beside him. The doors closed, finally cutt

    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

    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 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 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
