ALYANA POV

I didn’t realize how quiet the library had become until the door closed behind Leo.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was the faint rustling of leaves outside the tall windows and the slow ticking of the clock mounted above the shelves.

Julian was still sitting beside me.

Close enough that I could feel the warmth coming from his arm.

I stared at the open page of the book, pretending to read the chart again, but the numbers blurred together. My attention kept drifting to h

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 113

    ALYANA POVI didn’t call anyone.I almost did.My thumb hovered over Leo’s name for a second longer than it should’ve, the screen lighting up against my palm, waiting for me to decide. But I stopped myself before I could press it.Not yet.This wasn’t something I wanted to split into two sides again.Not when I was finally starting to see the whole picture on my own.I locked my phone and set it down beside the keyboard, my gaze drifting back to the screen in front of me. The message thread was still open, the words sitting there like they hadn’t just shifted everything I thought I understood.Approval confirmed.Proceed as planned.No hesitation. No doubt.Whoever wrote those messages knew exactly what they were doing.And Elena wasn’t acting alone.I leaned back in the chair slowly, exhaling through my nose as I tried to organize everything in my head. The second authorization, the hidden records, the way she came in earlier like she was checking if I was getting too close—She was

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 112

    ALYANA POVI didn’t go far.The moment the door to Julian’s office closed behind me, I didn’t slow down—I just kept walking, my mind already moving faster than my steps. The hallway felt narrower than usual, like the walls had shifted closer overnight, but I didn’t let it get to me.Not now.Not when things were finally starting to make sense.Elena.The name sat at the center of everything, steady and undeniable.I turned the corner toward the restricted wing, pulling my access card out before I even reached the scanner. My fingers didn’t shake, but I was aware of the tension sitting under my skin—tight, controlled, waiting.The door unlocked with a soft beep.Inside, the air was cooler, quieter. Different from the rest of the building. Less polished, more… honest. No pretenses here. Just records. Data. Things people didn’t bother dressing up.Exactly what I needed.I walked straight to one of the terminals, setting the folder down beside the keyboard. For a second, I just stood ther

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 111

    ALYANA POVI didn’t realize I was holding my breath until my chest started to hurt.The paper in my hands felt heavier than it should’ve been. Not because of the thickness, not because of the ink—but because of what it meant.“That’s not possible.”The words came out quieter this time, almost like I was saying it to myself instead of him.Julian didn’t answer right away. He didn’t move either. He just stood there across the desk, watching me in that same steady way of his—like he was waiting for me to catch up to something he had already accepted a long time ago.I looked back down at the document.The signature was clear. Clean. No hesitation in the strokes. Whoever signed it knew exactly what they were doing.And it wasn’t my father.My fingers tightened slightly around the edge of the paper. “You’re telling me this has been here the whole time?”“It hasn’t been public,” Julian replied calmly.“That’s not what I asked.”His gaze didn’t waver. “Yes. It’s been here.”Something sharp t

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 110

    ALYANA POVI didn’t sleep well.Not because of noise or discomfort. The room was quiet, the bed soft, everything exactly how it should be. But my mind wouldn’t settle. Every time I closed my eyes, I kept seeing the same thing—documents, signatures that weren’t there, and Julian’s face when he said my father’s name like it already carried guilt.By morning, the exhaustion had settled into something sharper. Not weakness. Not confusion.Focus.I got ready earlier than usual, choosing something simple but structured—something that made me feel put together even if I didn’t feel that way inside. When I stepped out of the room, the hallway was still quiet. Too quiet for a place like this, but I was starting to get used to it.I didn’t wait for anyone. I just moved.The drive to the company passed in silence, and for once, I didn’t mind it. I needed the space to think, to organize everything without interruption.Because now, I had something concrete.A direction.When I stepped into the bu

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 109

    ALYANA POVI 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.This part of the building didn’t care about appearances.Good.I needed something real.I glanced around once, making sure no one was paying attention, then stepped forward and pushed the door open.It wasn’t locked.That alone told me something.Inside, the air felt cooler. Still. Rows of filing cabinets lined the walls, along with a secured terminal near the back. No assistants. No guards. Just silence and the faint hum of the system running.I closed the door behind me, slower this time.This wasn’t something I could

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 108

    ALYANA POV I didn’t go back to my office. I couldn’t. The walls felt too close, the silence too loud, like everything I had just heard was still echoing somewhere I couldn’t shut off. So I walked. No direction. Just movement. My heels slowed eventually, the sharp rhythm fading as I reached one of the quieter corridors. Fewer people. Less noise. Just the low hum of the building around me. I stopped near the window, pressing my palm lightly against the glass. Cold. Grounding. I closed my eyes for a second, trying to steady my breathing. “He believes it.” The thought came back, clearer now. Julian didn’t hesitate. Didn’t question. He believed my father caused the fire. And the worst part? He didn’t look unsure. He looked certain. I swallowed hard, opening my eyes again. “Still running when things get complicated?” I stiffened. Leo. Of course. I didn’t turn immediately. I didn’t trust my expression yet. “I’m not running,” I said, keeping my voice even. “Then what

    ALYANA POV The house was too quiet the next morning. Not the peaceful kind of quiet. The kind that made you feel like you were the only person inside a building that was far too big. I sat at the kitchen island with a mug of coffee between my hands, staring out the tall windows that overlooked

    ALYANA POV Dinner that night was quieter than usual. Not awkward quiet. Just… thoughtful. The long dining table suddenly felt too big for only two people. Julian sat at the far end like he usually did, reviewing something on his tablet while occasionally taking a sip of wine. I sat across from h

    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
