ALYANA POV

I didn’t go to my room right away.

I told him I would, but my feet slowed the moment I stepped out of the study. The hallway felt longer than usual, quieter, like the entire mansion was holding its breath with me.

His words stayed in my head.

Then you decide what to do with it.

It sounded simple.

It wasn’t.

Because deciding meant accepting whatever I would find out next. And I wasn’t sure I was ready for that.

I exhaled slowly and leaned against the wall for a second, closing

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 125

    ALYANA POV I didn’t expect the silence between us to last this long. Not the uncomfortable kind. Not the kind that begs to be filled. This one… stretched in a way that felt deliberate. Like neither of us wanted to be the first to break it. Julian stood near the window of his office, one hand in his pocket, the other resting lightly against the glass. The city below moved like nothing had changed, like nothing was shifting under our feet. Cars, people, noise—all of it distant from where we were. I was still by his desk. Still holding the edge of it like I needed something solid to stay grounded. “You’ve been quiet,” he said finally, without turning. I let out a small breath, my fingers loosening slightly. “There’s a lot to process.” “That’s expected.” I glanced at him, studying the way his posture didn’t change. “You’re not even going to ask what I’m thinking?” “I already know what you’re thinking.” That made my brows pull together. “You don’t.” He turned this time, slowly,

  • 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

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 120

    ALYANA POV Everything felt different the moment I stepped into his office like I belonged there. Not as a guest. Not as someone tolerated. But as someone expected. It wasn’t loud or obvious. No one announced it. No one needed to. It was in the way the assistant outside his office didn’t stop me this time. In the way the door opened without hesitation when I reached for it. In the way I didn’t pause before walking in. Julian was already inside, standing near his desk, reviewing something on his tablet. He didn’t look up immediately when I entered, but I knew he was aware of me. He always was. I closed the door behind me quietly. “You didn’t waste time.” “Neither did you,” he replied. His voice was calm, like always. Controlled. But there was something underneath it today—something more focused, sharper. I stepped closer to the desk, placing the files I’d brought down in front of him. “I updated your schedule. Two meetings moved, one canceled, and I added a review session this

  • Trapped By The Billionaire Brothers   CHAPTER 18

    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 POVI didn’t realize how much time had passed in the gallery until the light outside the tall windows started turning warmer.Afternoon.The quiet inside the room felt different now, softer somehow.

    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
