Eunice’s POV

My whole body was trembling as the words exploded out of me like shattered glass.

“What right do you even have to run a DNA test behind my back? Without a single word to me?” My voice cracked, sharp and raw, every syllable dripping with ten years of buried rage.

Denver’s head bowed low, his broad shoulders slumping like the weight of the world had finally crushed him. “I’m so sorry, Eunice. I know I had no right. None.” His voice came out hoarse, barely above a broken whisper. “But

  • I Fell to my Brother's best Friend    Last Chapter

    Eunice’s POV A few months had passed since that night in the apartment, since the kiss that cracked open everything I’d tried so hard to keep locked away. Since Denver dropped to one knee (again, properly this time) and asked me to marry him with tears in his eyes and Devon asleep on the couch beside us. Since I said yes, even though my heart was still trembling with the memory of every scar he’d left behind. We told my Mom first. I’ll never forget Mom’s face, how her hands flew to her mouth, eyes instantly glassy, tears spilling over before I even finished speaking. And Paulo? He crossed his arms, tried to look all serious and intimidating… but the second Denver extended his hand, Paulo pulled him into a rough hug instead. “Just don’t screw it up again, man,” Paulo muttered, voice thick. “I’m serious this time. I’ll bury you where no one will find you.” Denver laughed softly, squeezing back. “I won’t. I swear on everything.” Paulo pulled away, eyes narrowed. “You bet

    Eunice’s POV“Eunice…”“Where’s Mom? Where’s Devon?” I interrupted the second the silence hit me, no giggles, no footsteps, no familiar chatter echoing through the apartment.“Your mom took him out to grab a few things,” Denver answered quietly. “Paulo asked them to step out before we started talking. He didn’t want our son to see…”He paused, voice dropping even lower.“…the argument. Or the part where your brother beat the crap out of me.”My eyes flicked back to his face. He was still flinching every time his fingers brushed the swelling along his jaw, the split lip still angry and red.I hated seeing him like this.And God help me, a stupid, stubborn part of me felt sorry for him.In all the years Paulo had known Denver, I’d never seen my brother snap like that. Never seen him leave marks this deep.I stood up fast.“Wait here. I’m getting ice.”“Don’t, can we just talk first?” he said quickly, reaching out like he was scared I’d vanish again. “Paulo might lose it even more if we

  • I Fell to my Brother's best Friend    Chapter 21

    Eunice’s POV We stayed parked on the side of the road forever. Just breathing in the heavy silence. Engine off. The world outside is frozen. Inside the car? It felt like the air itself was crushing us—every word we hadn’t said piling up until it hurt to inhale. I couldn’t look at Frederick. Not fully. His face was a blank mask at first, every feeling bolted behind doors I didn’t have the key to. But I didn’t need to see his eyes to know. The hurt rolled off him in waves so strong I could almost taste it. And the worst part? I’d caused it. Without meaning to. Without wanting to. “What a small world, right?” His voice came out low, scraped raw, pain bleeding through every syllable. It sliced straight into my chest. “I’m sorry…” The apology slipped out, shaky and small. “I never imagined any of this would happen. I tried to tell you, right after that night. But I was terrified. I was a mess, Frederick. I couldn’t think. I couldn’t breathe.” He let out a slow breath, like

    Eunice’s POVNo matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t focus on work.My mind was too full and crowded with everything that had happened yesterday. Every word, every look, every sound kept replaying in my head like a broken record.My patience was thin.I snapped at small problems that normally wouldn’t even bother me.“Whoa, tiger,” Glaiza said, one perfectly arched brow lifting. “The copier didn’t personally offend you, did it?”“It’s possessed,” I muttered, yanking at the jammed paper tray as it owed me money. “Everything’s possessed today.”Without another word, she stood, nudged me aside, and in under ten seconds had the machine humming like nothing had ever happened.“There. Crisis averted.”Her smile faded when she finally looked at me. “Okay… what’s really going on, Eunice? You look like you’re two seconds away from either crying or throwing something through a window.”Her voice, soft, genuinely worried, without judgment or teasing, cracked the dam I’d been holding inside.Hot t

I know I had no right. None.” His voice came out hoarse, barely above a broken whisper. “But I was drowning. Desperate. I needed to know… needed to know he was mine. That I finally had someone, someone real, who could be mine.”“Yours?” The laugh that ripped from my throat was bitter, ugly, tasting like poison. “After vanishing for a whole decade? No calls, no visits, no nothing, and now you dare call him yours? The audacity, Denver. The absolute nerve.”“Eunice, enough.” Mama’s voice sliced through the tension like a blade, calm but unyielding. “Stop dumping it all on him. The truth i

  • I Fell to my Brother's best Friend    Chapter 18

    Devon’s POVI couldn’t tear my eyes away from the PS5 box.It was the coolest thing anyone had ever given me. Ever. Uncle Denver, he said I could call him that, and for some reason, it felt… nice, like he actually wanted me to, handed it to me like it was nothing. But it wasn’t nothing. It was huge. My hands were already sweating just thinking about holding the controller when we finally set it up.Grnadma was in the kitchen, humming like usual. Every now and then, she peeked out at us with this strange look on her face. Not mad. Not happy. Just… soft. Like she was holding something in and didn’t want it to spill.I didn’t understand it.Uncle Denver kept glancing at me too. Not in a weird way, more like he was afraid I’d disappear if he looked away for too long.We were playing FIFA, me totally demolishing him, obviously, when Grnadma called us over to the dining table.“Dinner’s ready,” she said, but there was something in her voice, more serious than usual.I slid into my usual sea
