Noah’s Pov

I read the message twice, curiosity replacing the calm we had only just settled into. Mason called before I even had the chance to phone Coach Reynolds myself, his voice carrying the same confused excitement I felt.

“Did you get his text too?” Mason asked.

“Just now,” I said. “No idea what he means by something big.”

“Should we call him tonight?”

“It’s late,” I said, glancing toward the bedroom where Sophia had just gotten Grace back to sleep. “Let’s call him first thing tomorrow, li

  • FALLING FOR MY BROTHER'S RIVAL   Something Big

    Noah’s PovI read the message twice, curiosity replacing the calm we had only just settled into. Mason called before I even had the chance to phone Coach Reynolds myself, his voice carrying the same confused excitement I felt.“Did you get his text too?” Mason asked.“Just now,” I said. “No idea what he means by something big.”“Should we call him tonight?”“It’s late,” I said, glancing toward the bedroom where Sophia had just gotten Grace back to sleep. “Let’s call him first thing tomorrow, like he said.”We agreed to meet at the arena early the next morning, and after a full night’s rest for the first time in what felt like weeks, I left the apartment with a strange mix of nerves and hope, Sophia waving from the doorway with Grace resting against her shoulder.“Whatever it is,” she said, smiling, “go find out. We’ll be here.”Coach Reynolds was already waiting when Mason and I arrived, sitting in his office with two cups of coffee already poured, his expression carrying the kind of

  • FALLING FOR MY BROTHER'S RIVAL   No More Ghosts

    Sophia’s PovNoah read the message out loud, and my stomach dropped the moment he finished, exhaustion mixing with a fear I thought we had finally left behind. Grace stirred slightly in my arms, and I held her a little tighter, as if that alone could shield her from whatever new shadow this email was trying to cast over our family.“Forward it to Renee,” I said quickly. “Right now. Tonight.”Noah was already typing, his hands moving fast despite how tired he looked. Within minutes, Renee called back, her voice steady even though it was well past midnight.“I saw it,” she said. “Give me until morning before either of you panics. Emails like this show up sometimes, especially after a case gets this much public attention. People want money, attention, or just enjoy causing fear. I’ll trace it first thing.”“But what if it’s real?” Sophia asked, her voice tight. “What if there’s actually something else Victor never told anyone?”Renee was quiet for a moment before answering carefully. “Vi

  • FALLING FOR MY BROTHER'S RIVAL   David’s Visit

    Noah’s PovI looked at Sophia, and she looked back at me, both of us confused by the timing. It was almost midnight. David rarely called this late, let alone showed up at a hospital unannounced.“Send him up,” Sophia said to the nurse. “It’s okay. He’s family.”A few minutes later, David walked in quietly, his coat still damp from the rain outside, his face pale and tired in a way that made my stomach tighten with worry. He stopped near the door, his eyes immediately falling on baby Grace sleeping peacefully in Sophia’s arms.“She’s beautiful,” he said softly, his voice catching. “I’m sorry to come so late. I know this isn’t the right time, but I didn’t want to wait until morning.”“David, what’s wrong?” Sophia asked gently.He pulled a folded piece of paper from his coat pocket, his hands shaking slightly as he held it out. “I got a letter today. From the prison where Victor is being held. It was addressed to me directly.”My chest tightened instantly. “Victor wrote to you?”David no

  • FALLING FOR MY BROTHER'S RIVAL   Warning Signs

    Sophia’s PovThe pain in my head grew sharper by the second, pressing hard behind my eyes, and the room around me seemed to blur at the edges no matter how hard I tried to focus.“That’s it, we’re going now,” Noah said, already helping me up from the couch, his voice steady even though I could feel his hand trembling slightly against mine. “Headache, blurry vision, those are the exact signs Dr. Harper warned us about.”He called Mason on the way to the car, quick and urgent, asking him to come stay with Tyler right away, and within minutes we were speeding toward the hospital, Noah gripping the wheel tightly while I pressed my palm against my forehead, trying to breathe through the pounding pain.“Talk to me,” Noah said, glancing over every few seconds. “Tell me how you’re feeling. Keep talking to me.”“My head hurts so bad,” I said, my voice shaking. “And everything looks fuzzy, like I’m looking through water.”“We’re almost there,” he said. “Just hold on. Almost there.”We reached t

  • FALLING FOR MY BROTHER'S RIVAL   The Test Results

    Noah’s PovSophia read the message twice, and I watched her face go pale before she even looked up at me. She held out the phone with a shaking hand, and I read it myself, my stomach tightening the same way hers must have.“It’s probably nothing,” I said, though I wasn’t sure I believed it. “Labs flag things all the time that turn out to be simple mistakes.”“They don’t usually text you the same night, Noah,” Sophia said quietly. “They wait for the regular appointment unless something feels urgent to them.”Neither of us slept well again that night. I lay awake listening to her breathing beside me, feeling her shift restlessly every hour, both of us pretending to rest while our minds ran through every possible explanation.We called first thing the next morning, and the receptionist told us Dr. Harper wanted to see us in person rather than explain everything over the phone. That alone made my chest feel tight the entire drive over, Sophia’s hand gripping mine tightly in the passenger

  • FALLING FOR MY BROTHER'S RIVAL   Too Soon

    Sophia’s PovThe pain came again, tight and sudden, wrapping around my stomach like a fist closing slowly. I gripped Noah’s arm, and my breath caught before I could even speak.“That’s definitely a contraction,” I said. “But it’s too early. I’m only thirty-four weeks.”Noah was already moving, grabbing his phone with one hand while helping me up with the other. “We’re calling Dr. Harper right now. Just breathe. I’ve got you.”Tyler looked up from his toy hockey sticks, his small face suddenly worried. “Mommy, are you okay?”“I’m okay, sweet boy,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm even though my heart was racing. “The baby might just be excited to meet everyone a little early.”Dr. Harper’s answering service connected us quickly, and within minutes, her on-call nurse instructed us to head straight to the hospital, explaining that any labor before thirty-seven weeks needed to be checked carefully, even if it turned out to be nothing serious.Mason arrived at our apartment faster than
