ALYANA POV The ride back to the mansion was quiet. Not the comfortable kind of quiet either. The kind where you’re very aware that the person sitting beside you is thinking about something but choosing not to say it. I leaned my head slightly against the window, watching the city lights blur past outside. The streets were still alive even though it was getting late—restaurants glowing with warm light, people walking along the sidewalks, cars moving steadily through intersections. For a moment I wondered what it would feel like to just step out of this car and disappear into that normal life again. No rules. No contracts. No billionaire brothers watching every move I made. Julian sat beside me, his posture relaxed but his expression unreadable. One hand rested on his knee while the other loosely held his phone, though he hadn’t looked at it in several minutes. He was thinking. I could feel it. Eventually he spoke. “How long have you known Leo?” I didn’t turn my head immed

ALYANA POVThe rest of the morning passed quietly after breakfast.Julian disappeared into his office, which didn’t surprise me at all. The man practically lived in work mode. Meanwhile, I wandered around the mansion with a strange amount of free time and absolutely no idea what to do with it.Living in a billionaire’s house sounded glamorous in theory.In reality, it was mostly quiet hallways and expensive furniture that I felt slightly guilty touching.By late morning, boredom finally pushed me outside.The garden behind the mansion was huge. Perfectly trimmed hedges lined the stone paths, and the fountain near the center made a soft, steady sound that somehow made the whole place feel calmer.I walked slowly along the path, enjoying the warm sun on my skin.At least out here, the mansion didn’t feel so… overwhelming.I had just reached the fountain when I heard footsteps behind me.“Running away already?”I froze.That voice.Slowly, I turned around.Leo stood a few steps away, wea

ALYANA POVI went straight to the kitchen.Not because I was hungry, but because I needed a moment away from the strange tension outside. The moment the door closed behind me, the quiet inside the mansion felt almost too peaceful compared to what had just happened in the garden.I leaned against the kitchen counter and let out a slow breath.“Unbelievable,” I muttered to myself.Two billionaire brothers arguing like territorial teenagers over a contract wife.My life had become ridiculous.I poured myself a glass of cold water and took a long sip, trying to calm the restless feeling in my chest. The cool liquid helped a little, but my thoughts were still running in circles.Julian saying she’s still under my protection.Leo saying you’re getting attached.I rubbed my temple.“Stop thinking about it,” I whispered to myself.Unfortunately, my brain refused to cooperate.Footsteps entered the kitchen a minute later.I didn’t even have to turn around.“You followed me,” I said.Julian’s v

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 him, slowly pushing food around my plate while my mind replayed the conversation we had in the garden earlier. You’re curious too. About me. I stabbed a piece of chicken with my fork and finally gave up pretending to focus on dinner. “You’re doing it again.” Julian looked up from his tablet. “Doing what?” “Thinking too hard.” “That’s ironic coming from you.” He set the tablet down. “What makes you think I’m thinking?” “You get that look.” “What look?” “The serious one.” Julian raised an eyebrow slightly. “That’s my normal face.” “Exactly.” I leaned back in my chair. “Do you ever relax?” “Yes.” “When?” “Now.” I stared at him. “You call this relaxing?” “Compared to board

ALYANA POVBy noon, the house no longer felt quiet.It felt empty.There was a difference.Quiet meant peaceful.Empty meant Julian wasn’t there.I noticed it the moment I walked into the living room. The staff moved around the mansion like usual, but the place somehow felt larger when he wasn’t inside it. Like the air itself had more space.Which was ridiculous.I dropped onto the long sofa and stared at the ceiling.“Why am I even noticing that?”No answer, obviously.I grabbed the remote and turned on the television, flipping through channels without actually watching anything. Ten minutes later, I realized I had no idea what was playing.“Great. I’m bored.”The words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them.Being bored in a mansion sounded stupid. People would probably laugh if they heard me complain about it.But that didn’t change the fact that the place felt too quiet again.I turned the television off and stood up.“Walk,” I muttered. “I need a walk.”The garden had b
