My Bestfriend’s Brother Chapter 158: No more secrets
Zayne’s POV I don’t want anything else standing between us. Not lies or secrets.For too long my life has been built around things I refused to look at too closely—memories that slipped through my fingers, pieces of my past that never quite made sense, conversations I avoided because digging deeper meant confronting things I wasn’t ready to face. But Isla changed that. She has this way of forcing truth into the open without even trying. And tonight, sitting across from her at the small kitchen table in her apartment, I realize something with a clarity that feels almost painful.If I want to keep her in my life…then there can’t be anything left in the dark. No more hiding. No more waiting for the “right time.”If something exists in my past that could hurt her, she deserves to hear it from me first.Isla is leaning back in her chair now, arms crossed loosely over her chest while she stares at nothing. I hate that look. Because it means she’s still processing everything I told her.I
My Bestfriend’s Brother Chapter 157: Her real name is Quinn Hart
The words leave my mouth quietly, but the way Zayne’s expression changes tells me they land harder than I expected. For a second he just stares at me. Like the sentence hasn’t fully registered yet.“What?” he says finally.I swallow, my fingers tightening around the glass of iced tea in front of me.“Celeste isn’t her real name.”The room feels smaller now. The warm light above the kitchen table is suddenly too bright, too focused.“Her real name is Quinn Hart,” I say. “She changed it.”Zayne’s jaw tightens slightly. He leans back in his chair like someone just knocked the air out of him.“Quinn…” he repeats under his breath.The name clearly means something to him and that alone makes my stomach twist. Because hearing my mother’s name in my boyfriend’s voice is one of the strangest feelings I’ve ever experienced.For a moment neither of us says anything. The silence stretches between us like a tight wire.I exhale slowly.“All the time you mentioned Celeste,” I say quietly, rubbing m
My Bestfriend’s Brother Chapter 156: My mother’s name isn’t Celeste
Zayne’s POV That evening.My phone lights up on the dashboard just as I’m pulling into traffic. For a second I think it’s another useless notification—emails, business updates, something Rico probably sent just to annoy me. But when I glance down, I see her name.Isla.The tension sitting in my chest loosens just a fraction. She finally responded. I pick up the phone at the next stoplight.Isla:You coming over tonight?Just that. No emojis or teasing. It’s simple, but something about the message feels… careful.I type back quickly.Me:Yeah.Then I add:Give me fifteen minutes.Three dots appear, disappear, then appear again. Finally her reply comes through.Isla:Okay.That’s it. The light turns green and I put the phone down again, merging into the evening traffic. Seattle is glowing tonight, wet pavement reflecting streetlights, people rushing between restaurants and late meetings, taxis weaving through the lanes.Normally I like the drive, but tonight my mind is somewhere else e
My Bestfriend’s Brother Chapter 155: Miss sleep walker
Isla’s POVA day later.Morning light creeps through the window in gold strips, reflecting across the floor and climbing slowly toward the bed. For a long moment I stay still, staring at the ceiling while the events of the last few days shuffle around in my head like cards that refuse to arrange themselves into something clear.And then Zayne’s words yesterday morning.My mom used to do that when I was a kid.Except the way he said it hadn’t sounded casual. It sounded… thoughtful. Like he’d remembered something he hadn’t expected to remember. I roll onto my side and reach for my phone on the nightstand.8:47 AM.Zayne already left for work an hour ago. I remember him kissing my forehead before slipping out of bed, careful not to wake me. But he still woke me anyway, not with words. Just the quiet shift of the mattress and the warmth of his body moving away from mine.The apartment is silent now. And silence is dangerous when your brain is full of questions. I unlock my phone. The bro
My Bestfriend’s Brother Chapter 154: Check in with Dr Pierce
Zayne’s POV Four hours later, I arrived in Fairview.The building hasn’t changed. It still smells like antiseptic and expensive furniture the moment the elevator doors slide open. The hallway lights are too bright, reflecting off marble floors that make every footstep echo slightly.I step out anyway. Dr. Pierce’s office sits at the very end of the corridor, exactly where it always is. Dr. Harrington Pierce, MD — PsychiatryI stare at the name for a second longer than necessary. My jaw tightens slightly before I push the door open.The receptionist looks up from her desk. She smiles politely.“Good morning, Mr. Bellandi.”“Morning.”“You’re right on time. Dr. Pierce will see you shortly.”I sit in one of the leather chairs in the waiting area. Ten minutes later, the door to the inner office opens. Dr. Pierce steps out. He looks exactly like he always does. Mid-sixties. Silver hair. Impeccably dressed in a dark suit. Calm expression carefully practiced over years of dealing with oth
My Bestfriend’s Brother Chapter 153: Morning wood
Isla’s POV Something warm presses against my thigh.At first my brain doesn’t register what it is. I’m half asleep, drifting somewhere between dreams and reality, wrapped in the heavy comfort of Zayne’s warmth and the slow rhythm of his breathing beside me. Then the warmth shifts, and suddenly it’s very obvious what it is. My eyes snap open.Zayne is still asleep next to me, lying on his back with one arm stretched above his head, the sheets pushed halfway down his hips.Completely naked.And unfortunately for my ability to pretend I’m still asleep… his dick is very aware that it’s morning.Heat rushes straight to my face.“Damn,” I mutter under my breath.My movement must disturb him, because his brows pull together slightly before his eyes slowly open. Dark, heavy with sleep. For a moment he just looks at me, his gaze unfocused as his brain catches up with reality.Then he notices the way I’m staring.“What?” he murmurs.His voice is deep and rough with sleep.I gesture vaguely to
My Bestfriend’s Brother Chapter 5 The stranger at the door
ZayneI hated rain. Always had. But tonight, as I pulled into Dustfield, I didn’t even notice the slick, wet streets or the faint drizzle settling on the windshield. I parked outside the house, hands tight on the wheel. My chest was a little tighter than usual, and I hated the faint pulse of relie
My Bestfriend’s Brother Chapter 4 Back to Dustfield
Isla The drive to Dustfield was long and silent. Rain pelted the windshield, blurring streetlights into golden smears. My chest ached, and tears refused to stop. Every blink smeared them further, leaving streaks across my cheeks. My thoughts were a tangled mess of betrayal, fear, and curiosity. A
My Bestfriend’s Brother Chapter 3: Alleyway guardian
Isla’s POVI slipped on a puddle and caught myself against the brick wall, rain slamming down so hard it blurred everything into streaks of neon and shadow. My glasses fogged over completely, turning the alley into a smeared mess of reflections. Every step splashed water up my calves, heels wobblin
My Bestfriend’s Brother Chapter 1 The wedding day
Isla’s POV I shot up in bed so fast the sheets tangled around my legs and yanked me sideways. My hand was already sliding down before my eyes even opened all the way, pressing against the wet spot in my underwear as the memory hit like a freight train. Last night. Silas. Me telling him no. “Shit
