LOGIN(Ryan’s POV)
I was sitting in my spacious office, the glow of my computer screen illuminating my sharp features. My hands were clasped together as I leaned back in my chair, staring blankly at the documents in front of me.
But my mind was elsewhere…Asher’s grand celebration.
A few years ago, the thought of
(Ian’s POV)By the time I reached Arcadia, my friends were already there, waiting near the rooftop gaming zone, laughing over something silly. The second they spotted me, a chorus of cheers erupted.“Ian, finally!”“Took you long enough, dude!”“Okay, okay, I’m late but I brought the charm, so you’re welcome” I raised my hands in mock surrender.They pulled me into their chaotic energy, slinging arms over my shoulder, teasing me about my married life, and challenging me in games like they always did. For a while, I was fully swept into their world, racing cars on the simulators, laughing at inside jokes, shouting across the bowling alley, guzzling mocktails and cola.
(Author’s POV)The air in the mansion was thick with unspoken dread. The laughter and warmth that had filled its walls mere hours ago had been replaced by a suffocating silence, broken only by hurried footsteps and hushed voices.Aurora stood frozen for a heartbeat as Asher moved toward her, his expression pained and rigid. She searched his face for something, anything that would reassure her. But what she found instead made her chest tighten.“Aurora… Ian’s missing” Asher gently cupped her cheeks, his touch soft, almost trembling, and spoke in a low, strained voice. Her heart stopped.“What…?” She whispered, almost as if her mind couldn’t register what she’d just heard.
(Author’s POV)The soft rustle of pages and the quiet tapping of keys were the only sounds in Ryan’s study as the golden hues of the setting sun poured through the tall windows.Aurora sat curled on the couch, her legs tucked beneath her, eyes scanning the words of her book with an occasional soft smile tugging at her lips. Across the room, Ryan sat at his desk, fingers moving fluidly across the keyboard, as he reviewed reports.Even in silence, the room felt warm, radiating peace, intimacy, and an unspoken bond. It was their little world, where presence was enough and words weren’t always needed.After a while, Aurora gently closed her book and stretched her arms.“I’m done with the
(Aurora’s POV)After Ian left, I stood alone in the living room, my fingers lightly tapping against my thigh as I looked around. The house, grand and elegant as ever, felt unusually still. I tilted my head slightly, lips pursed in thought.“Well, let’s see what my other husbands are up to” I mumbled to myself with a tiny smile.With that, I turned and headed toward Ryan's room. I knew he was probably immersed in work as he always was but a part of me longed to just see him, hear his voice, maybe steal a moment.I reached his room first. A gentle knock but no response. I turned the knob softly and peeked inside, the room was empty. So, I stepped back and turned to head down the hallway toward his study, already having a hunch that I’d f
(Author’s POV)The soft hum of the projector, the flickering light of the screen, and the buttery aroma of popcorn filled the room. Aurora was nestled comfortably under the thick blanket, her legs curled and body snug against Ian’s. His arm was draped around her shoulder, fingers playing absentmindedly with a strand of her hair as they watched the movie unfold.The film had taken a romantic turn. On screen, the lead couple leaned in, their expressions heavy with longing, fingers lacing together as the music softened to a slow melody. Aurora, already comfortably warm from the blanket and Ian’s presence, suddenly felt her cheeks heat even more. The romantic tension on screen mirrored the air around them slowly thickening, charged with something unspoken.She shifted a little, the subtle rustling of t
(Author’s POV)The morning sunlight filtered through the wide glass windows of the secluded lake house, casting a warm golden hue across the room. Aurora stirred in bed, a soft ache reminding her of the night they had shared, a night full of love, vulnerability, and new beginnings. Her cheeks heated slightly, but the soreness was quickly forgotten the moment she felt Owen’s gentle hands on her back, caressing her softly as he helped her sit up.“Let me take care of you” He murmured with tenderness, brushing her hair away from her face. Aurora nodded, her lips curving into a sleepy smile.Owen had already brought her a warm towel, helped her freshen up slowly, and made sure she felt comfortable. He kissed her temple every now and then.By the

(Author’s POV)Ryan’s breath was heavy as he stared into Aurora’s eyes, his mind consumed by the images that had tormented him all evening. Caleb’s hands on her waist. Caleb making her laugh. Cal
(Author’s POV)The car’s door opened and Skylar brothers stepped out one by one, together, for the first time in years. The media and public had been waiting for this very moment. The flashing cameras turned into an almost blinding storm of lights, capturing the brothers from every possible angle.
(Author’s POV)Ian, as usual, was the first to arrive home. He was so fatigued from football practice that he immediately showered, changed and slept. After about an hour or so, Asher returned. He had to cut his s
