Chapter 202: He's Not Bluffing

Savannah

Roman didn’t cower, even with a gun pointed straight at his chest.

Paula’s hands were trembling so violently the weapon clicked against her rings, but the fury in her eyes didn’t waver.

“Don’t speak!” she shouted, her voice cracking under pressure. “I told you to leave! I told you to get out of my house! But you—” She swallowed hard. “You just wouldn’t listen! You decided to cause trouble.”

I stood frozen behind Roman, my breath trapped somewhere between my ribs and my throat. His body blocked mine completely, solid and big like a wall built for moments exactly like this.

“Paula,” I tried, my voice small. “Let’s calm down—”

“Shut up!” she shrieked, jerking the gun in my direction. “Just shut up!”

Chloe whimpered beside her, torn between panic and disbelief. Her hands hovered helplessly above Paula’s shoulders as if she wasn’t sure touching her would make things better or worse.

But before I could blink again, the world lurched.

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    The Wrong Trunk

    Chapter 221: The Wrong TrunkReeseRoman rarely looks afraid. He’s the one who laughs at danger, who smirks in the face of chaos, who doesn’t flinch when The General raises hell. But right now, the way he’s staring at me like he’s waiting to hear the verdict that might shatter the floor beneath him… yeah.He’s scared. But not of our father. He's scared because he suspects I murdered Serena. Or had something to do with her death. “Reese,” he says, voice low, tight. “What do you mean by that?”I swallow, my throat already burning. “I knew her,” I whisper. “I met Serena Matthews. But I didn’t know what she was. Not until she died.”Roman leaned forward, impatient. “Where? How? When did you—just talk, dammit!”“I am talking!” I snap, louder than I intended. “I’m saying something, aren’t I?!”“Well get on with it then!”“For fuck’s sake!” I drag both hands through my hair, pacing. “You’re driving me fucking nuts, Roman!”He shuts up, but his eyes don’t leave me. Paula sits still—too still

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    The Serena Case

    Chapter 220: The Serena Case Reese“The Serena Case.” Those three words hit me like a punch to the ribs—sharp, unexpected, meant to hurt. Even after Roman stopped talking, they echoed in my head, circling, taunting, refusing to let me breathe.I tried to keep my face neutral, casual even, because that’s what I do when shit gets bad. I joke. I pretend. I deny. But inside, my chest tightened until the pressure clawed up my throat.Most people go through life thinking they’ve got problems — bills, breakups, heartache, loneliness. Me? My entire existence is one giant problem sealed with the Blackwood name. I didn’t ask to be the son of General Blackwood. Didn’t audition. Didn’t sign up. Yet here I was, stuck with it like a brand I could never scrub off.But Serena? If the Serena he meant was the Serena I knew… then I was screwed. Utterly, hopelessly, catastrophically screwed.“Reese.” Roman’s voice cut through my spiraling thoughts. “Did you hear what I just said?”I blinked. Then force

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    Jace’s Rat

    Chapter 219: Jace’s Rat ReeseI always thought Roman was the more sensible one between the two of us. Smart. Level-headed. Capable of functioning under pressure. But standing here and facing this van with two unfamiliar women sitting inside it like hostages, I was starting to rethink every compliment I’d ever given him. “Please,” I said, dragging a hand through my hair, “don’t tell me you’ve added kidnapping to your résumé. Because otherwise, how the hell do you explain this? Who are they, and what are they doing here?”Roman didn’t even care. He just pointed.“That’s Chloe,” he said flatly, nodding at the blonde one who looked like she had barbed wire for blood. She glared at him like she was two seconds from stabbing him to death with a decorative fork. “Sav’s sister.”Then he pointed to the other girl—the one with the pixie haircut and a don’t-mess-with-me jawline.“And that,” he continued, “is Paula. Jace’s rat.”“Who the hell is Jace?” I asked, confused. Paula’s eyebrow shot u

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    Promise Me

    Chapter 218: Promise MeRomanSavannah had been pouting since the plane touched down—an actual, committed pout, lips pushed forward, cheeks puffed, the kind of expression that would’ve been cute if it wasn’t accompanied by complete silence. My girl could weaponize quietness better than any argument. And she’d done it for the entire flight, the entire walk through the airport, and now into the car.Her arms were folded tightly across her chest as she stared out the window like the scenery had personally offended her. The sound of the car filled the space between us, but even that felt too loud next to the tension vibrating off her.I nudged her gently. “Hey,” I murmured, keeping my voice low. “It’s not that serious, Sav. The house is always going to be there. We’ll pick up right where we left off.”Her sigh fogged the window. “It’s not about the house, Roman.”Of course it wasn’t. If it were, she wouldn’t be sitting there like she was seconds away from combusting.I glanced at the dri

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    Favorite Sibling?

    Chapter 217: Favorite Sibling?RomanSavannah is lying flat on her stomach beside me, her legs kicked up behind her and crossed at the ankles. The black bikini she’s wearing is completely illegal—not because it’s revealing, but because I can’t look anywhere else when she’s in it. Her hair is tied in a messy bun, a few strands brushing her shoulders as the breeze picks them up.Her phone is balanced on her palms like she’s holding some sacred relic.“Favourite word?” she asks out of nowhere.I don’t think. I don’t need to. The answer is already carved into my bones. “Savannah.”She looks at me over her shoulder, lips twitching into a slow, satisfied smile. “That was smooth, Roman. Very smooth.”I shrug like it wasn’t intentional. “I’m being sincere, my love.”“Favourite color?” She asks again. Again. I don't think. “Yellow.” She rolls her eyes, but she can’t hide the smile. “Okay, Romeo. Next question.”After the morning we’d had—the kind that leaves your muscles sore and your heartb

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    The World Could Wait

    Chapter 216: The World Could Wait Savannah I went to bed frustrated, embarrassed, and honestly a little pissed.Frustrated and pissed because my very sensible fiancé apparently had too much on his mind to entertain my very insensible fantasies.And embarrassed because, annoyingly, Roman had been right. Last night wasn’t the time. Too much had happened. Too much had been revealed. Anyone with half a brain could see he had a storm turning in his head.I should’ve been mature about it. Wise. Understanding. But I wasn’t.Last night, I couldn’t be. I’d wanted him shamelessly and desperately. I’d wanted him all day and a selfish part of me didn’t care that my father might be a murderous vigilante with a deranged sidekick.It still stung that this was the second time Roman had turned me down. Both times for good reasons.But both times still hurting anyway.I drifted somewhere between awake and asleep, lying on my side of the bed and staring at the curtains swaying in the sea breeze. Every
