Все главы Entwined Hearts: A Billionaire Romance : Глава 21 - Глава 30

This grand ballroom felt as if it were closing around them, suffocating in its grandeur. Jayla, Jasmine, Jade-three sisters, so close their whole life-now stood oceans apart, separated by a singular, devastating truth.Axel. Brock. Alexander.The same man.Jayla's eyes darted between her sisters, trying to keep her breathing steady as the full weight of it hit her. She wanted to scream to refute, to deny everything so obviously standing before her. How could it be that they’d all been seeing him? How could it be that her Axel had somehow become their Brock or Alexander?Her throat tightened. She needed him to be hers. He had to be. That thought was the only thing anchoring her at the moment. But now, looking at her sisters, each of their faces reflecting her very same belief and jealousy, she knew she couldn't just claim him openly.At least, not just yet.Jasmine's heart raced, her fingers fisting into the fabric of her dress until it might rip off. Alexander had been her salvation,

The limousine glided smoothly down the streets, the soft hum of the engine the only sound between the sisters. The City lights outside flickered through the window frames, casting streaks shadows across their faces. Yet, inside the car, a different kind of light flickered: the silent storm of emotions hidden beneath their masks.Jayla, Jasmine, and Jade sat in tense, charged silence, each sister lost in her thoughts, their emotions swirling like the dark clouds that seemed to hang over them.They had decided to keep the truth from Axel/Brock/Alexander for now and instead threatened to confront him separately. Still, the weight of it all was just too heavy to shake off.They had always been able to read each other so easily, but now, it felt like the tension was an impenetrable wall separating them apart even as they sat together.Jayla's mind raced.She watched the passing city lights but her mind was miles away, going back to the ballroom, going back to the very moment she first loc

The cool evening breeze drifted through the opened penthouse window as Axel stood at the sleek, black marble counter, sipping whiskey. His mind sharp, clearing his thoughts. He was playing a dangerous game, but one in which he was always good at. Deception was his art form, and so far, none of the women in his life came close to catching him.Tonight would have been a great night, but it was different. The triplets were all on edge. He had picked it up when each of them came to him separately to talk about the gala: Jayla, Jade, Jasmine-three ladies, three different personalities, three different stories he had carefully crafted. They had come dangerously close to connecting the dots at the gala, but he had been careful.Now as his phone buzzed; he saw the first message for the night, a text from Jayla."Hey Axel, can I come by tonight? I've been thinking about you and wanna see you, we need to talk, in person."Axel stared at a message for a moment, his pulse quickening ever so sligh

Jade remained in the kitchen long after Jayla retreated to her room. The morning warmth cooled into a heavy chill that hung in her chest. She stared at the mug in her hands, trying to wrap her head around the tension of the argument from the morning and their bond unraveling between the sisters.Jayla believed Axel. Jasmine did not. And there she was, stuck between two people she loved more than anything in the world and a man for whom she had taken every caution against in her gut and fallen for anyway. But now… now things felt even more complicated. The appeal of Axel, the mannerisms when it was just them, drew her in. Yet, all those lies, all that secrecy-it weighed on her.The door slam upstairs shook her out of her reverie. Jayla and Jasmine were in pain, and all she could do was stand here frozen in the growing feeling that was all starting to slip through their fingers. They couldn't keep up with the doubt, the confrontation and the accusations between one another and they woul

Sarah slipped out into the night, the cool air hitting her skin like a breath of fresh relief. The door shut softly behind her, and as she walked across to her car, her mind racing over newer plans. The argument she'd overheard between the triplets was more than enough confirmation that things were spiraling utterly out of control Just perfectly. They had no inkling she'd sat in the wings, waiting for this moment in time. They were too busy clawing at each other over some man. Axel, Brock, Alexander whatever his name was, it didn't matter. What matters is that he is the key to their downfall.Sliding into the driver's seat of her car, a wicked smile curled on Sarah's lips. She had lived in their shadow long enough, watching them laugh and enjoying the life she should have lived. It was always them: Jayla, Jasmine, and Jade the perfect triplets, picture-perfect sisters with pretty faces and perfect lives. But they are not so perfect anymore, are they?She started the car, her fingers
