Semua Bab Three Hot Billionaires Brothers wants Me : Bab 81 - Bab 90

The villa’s halls echoed with marble and menace. Every portrait seemed to watch me, every window reflected a version of myself I barely recognized, torn between fear and fire.But air was the one thing I couldn’t have, the night stole it from me, pressing its weight into my chest until I was left hollow.By morning, my decision was carved into me like stone.At exactly 8:44 a.m., a knock shattered the silence.Not just any knock. His knock.Liam stood on the other side of my door.I didn’t bother softening my voice. The moment the door creaked open, the words ripped out of me before I could stop them.“What do you want, Liam?” My tone was sharp enough to cut. “Haven’t you done enough already? Or did you come here to see how much more you can break me before breakfast?”My hands curled into fists at my sides. Every muscle in my body ached to shove him back out the door, to slam it in his face, to make him feel even an ounce of the suffocation he’d left me drowning in.His presence alo

The storm died before dawn, but the silence it left behind was heavier than the thunder. The yacht cut across calm waters now, but inside, the tension was raw, buzzing like static in my veins.None of us had slept.Liam leaned against the rail, jaw tight, eyes darker than the sea. He looked like a man carrying ten wars inside his chest. Zane sat sprawled in a chair, hair still damp, grinning like chaos itself, the storm’s madness still clinging to him. And Kai… Kai stood at the controls, calm as ever, the only anchor in the madness.But even his silence pressed like a verdict.I wrapped my arms around myself, the memory of that camera flash seared behind my eyelids. Whoever that was out there, they had called my name. They knew me. And worse, they had captured me, forever frozen in Liam’s arms, his face inches from mine.The thought alone made my pulse race, but not only with fear.Liam turned, catching me staring. For a second, the world shrank to that single look. Heat flickered in

“Show yourself,” I hissed into the silence, my fingers digging into the photograph as though it could shield me. “Who’s there?”The villa pressed in around me, too quiet, too beautiful for the dread curling in my stomach. Just minutes ago, Zane, Kai, and Liam had left me here, back to their mansion, back to their secrets, leaving me stranded in this glass prison by the sea. Alone. So I thought, but no, they were still here.And now this.My breath came sharp, uneven. What was really going on? Had I done something wrong just by wanting a better life? Maybe I should never have taken that job at Carter’s Group of Companies. From the very first day I walked through those doors, my peace had been stolen. It’s been nothing but a spiral since then, one storm after another, one secret bleeding into the next.If it’s not the brothers pulling me apart with their hunger and their rage, it’s Mr. Carter whispering threats, promising to destroy me unless I leave his sons. As if I asked for any of t

“What… What… What…”The three of them shouted at once, voices colliding like broken records stuck on the same jagged note. The sound wasn’t just surprise, it was fury, disbelief, and fear tangled into one violent chord.Liam’s eyes burned into me, blue fire laced with betrayal. Zane’s jaw dropped before curving into a dangerous grin, madness flickering at the edges of his smirk. And Kai, steady, unreadable Kai, his calm finally cracked, a storm brewing beneath the silence he wore like armor.They were shaken. Shattered.I looked at them, then looked away. Not because I was ashamed. No, because I knew exactly what they were thinking. I knew the war was tearing through their heads. They still wanted to protect their own. To protect the Carter empire, the Carter name, their perfect glass castle built on lies. And me? They wanted me buried inside that silence, swallowed whole, erased like my parents.Well, not anymore.My throat tightened, but I forced the words out, each syllable steady,

The next morning, my head was still a battlefield. Sleep had done nothing to quiet it,if anything, the silence had sharpened every thought until they cut me from the inside out. I felt feverish, my body running hot with anger, disappointment, and the ache of questions I couldn’t stop asking myself. I needed air. No, more than air. I needed something cold, something that could freeze the storm under my skin. A freezer, an ice bath, anything that could quiet the fire I was burning in.I slipped out quietly, hoping no one would notice. The walls of the mansion felt too close, too heavy. My bare feet carried me across the hall and out toward the terrace where the morning breeze pressed against my face, cool but not nearly enough.“Lena…”The sound of my name broke across the silence. His voice. Liam’s.I froze but didn’t answer. Not the first time.“Lena…” He tried again, lower this time, coaxing.I clenched my jaw and pulled my shawl tighter around me, refusing to give him the satisfacti
