All Chapters of A Night With Billionaire Playboy, Forever Trapped : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Selena’s POV“Selena,” he repeated, his voice a low, husky murmur, the water still pounding down. “What… what are you doing here?”My breath hitched. I was staring at Justin, water falling on him, steam swirling all around. The bathroom was quiet, but it was a tense quiet. Like we both knew something was up. I couldn't speak. I hadn't meant to be here. My head was still messed up from his room being connected to mine, and this whole thing felt way too personal. “I… I had no idea our rooms were connected,” I finally managed, my voice sounding small in the huge space.He sort of smiled, like a half-smirk, and there was this other thing in his eyes I couldn't figure out. Amusement? Something deeper? Who knew? The shower was still going, that constant noise adding to the weirdness, but also making it feel... charged.The water stopped, and the only sound was our breathing, loud in the quiet. He reached for a towel, his movements easy and cool as he wrapped it around his waist. The bathr

Selena’s POVIt was a regular morning in the office, the usual tapping of keyboards and quiet chats. I was battling some designs for Hailey’s Dad’s event – which, yeah, I wasn’t supposed to be working on here anyway – and they were just refusing to make sense when Justin walked in, looking all hyped up – way more than usual.He clapped his hands, and the sharp sound cut through all the office noise like a knife. Everyone looked up.“Alright, team! Gather ‘round, gather ‘round!” His voice, usually a calm baritone, was a little high-pitched today. His eyes crinkled at the corners as he drummed a restless rhythm on the table. Everyone stopped what they were doing, heads swiveling upwards. A collective"What's going on?" hung in the air. A few seconds later, the elevator doors pinged open, and staff from all corners of the building poured out, gathering around the commotion. Hailey ran towards my desk. "We got THE text," she whispered, leaning in. "What text?" I asked, my brows slightl

Justin’s POVThe fire crackled, and we were all relaxed, telling stories and laughing. It was so different from the usual office atmosphere.I was actually having a good time, which was a total surprise. The fresh mountain air and just hanging out with everyone felt... really nice, honestly. Even Jaden, who's usually so serious, seemed to be chilling out a bit. That was a first!Just when things were peaceful, bam! Silence broken. A low rumble started, growing louder. Everyone looked up, a wave of curiosity passing through the group. It was a helicopter, no mistaking that sound. My stomach dropped. Seriously? Not now, not here. The noise grew overhead, and then, in the moonlight, a figure descended. My heart froze. No way. But there she was. Bella. Everyone gasped. She stepped out looking all dressed up, completely different from our casual evening clothes. And her hair? Not a single strand was out of place from the helicopter ride. Of course not."Hey, guys!" she called out, her vo

Selena’s POV My eyes snapped open. In the quiet light of the hospital room, I saw two figures standing there. Their faces were inches apart. Their lips locked. My breath hitched. What the...?“Jaden… is that you?” I asked, my voice barely a whisper, a mix of disbelief and confusion swirling within me.The figures startled, pulling apart abruptly. The dim light revealed Jaden and Hailey, their faces flushed. Hailey tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. A nervous gesture meant to hide her obvious embarrassment.The tray of fruit beside my bed was a mess, its contents spilled everywhere - a juicy peach on the floor, a handful of grapes scattered across the sheets, and a few slices of pineapple all over the sterile floor. It was a chaotic reminder of what had woken me up and the moment that had been so abruptly interrupted.Jaden's voice was barely above a whisper as he said, "Hello, Selena." His cheeks flushed an even deeper shade of crimson, and he raked a hand through his me

Justin’s POV My phone buzzed loudly, jolting me out of the serene atmosphere of my penthouse. I drew in a sharp breath, my eyes snapping to the screen as my brow furrowed into a frown. Sam's name flashed on the display - Selena's bodyguard. A shiver of unease trickled down my spine. Something was off. He never called me; I always initiated our conversations. My mind began to whirl with worst-case scenarios as I hesitated for a moment before answering. "Yeah?" I said, my voice firm, a knot forming in my stomach.“Mr. Blanco, we have a situation at Miss Selena's apartment," Sam's voice was tense, his usual calm demeanor a bit torn at the edges. He sounded composed, but I sensed a simmering tension, a worry that made my insides clench with anxiety."There's a guy inside her apartment, Zayn. He was already there when we arrived." My heart sank, a chill creeping up my spine. "Is Selena okay?" I asked, struggling to keep my voice steady. Sam hesitated, and for a moment, I felt like I
