Liam’s POV

The city lights blurred past the windshield, smeared by the rain sliding down the glass. I sat in the driver’s seat of the Maybach, engine off, my hands gripping the wheel as if letting go would mean losing control of everything that mattered. My chest still burned from the tension of the last few hours. Chloe. The hotel. The bridal shower. Everything had escalated too quickly. But so what? She would understand. She always did.

I inhaled, slow, deep, letting the air fill my lungs.

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 110

    Roman’s POV The sound of her cry was still ringing in my ears. I had heard babies cry before. In movies, in stores, in the waiting room of this very hospital. But nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared me for the sound of my own daughter's voice filling the room. It was sharp and loud and furious, like she was already telling the world she was here and she wasn't going to take any nonsense. And I was a mess. I didn't even realize I was crying until the first tear dripped off my chin and landed on the back of my hand. I blinked, confused, and felt the wetness on my cheeks, the salt on my lips. I lifted my hand to touch my face, and my fingers came away damp. I was crying. Hard. Tears streaming down, so fast I couldn't stop them. I didn't care. Serena was lying back on the bed, her face pale and soaked with sweat, her chest rising and falling in deep, exhausted breaths. But her arms were wrapped around a tiny bundle, a little body covered in blood and white goo, with a scrunched-up

    Serena’s POV The first thing I felt was the pressure. A deep, heavy ache low in my belly, like something was twisting and pulling from the inside. It woke me from a dream I couldn't remember, pulling me up through layers of sleep until my eyes blinked open into the dark. The room was quiet. The only light came from the streetlamp outside, casting a soft orange glow through the curtains. I was on my side, facing the window, and Roman's arm was draped across my waist, his breath slow and steady against the back of my neck. He was still asleep. His hand rested gently on the swell of my belly, like even in sleep he wanted to be close to her. I stayed still for a moment, waiting. The ache was fading now, melting away like it had never been there. Just a cramp, I told myself. Probably just Braxton Hicks. The doctor had warned me about false labor. I'd been having them for weeks now, tightening in my belly that came and went, uncomfortable but not serious. I shifted, trying to find a mo

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 108

    Roman’s POV The afternoon sunlight poured in softly, catching the tiny bits of dust floating lazily in the air. I stood near the back of the crowd, a beer bottle sweating in my grip, watching Serena work the room like the queen she was. Her dress hugged the swell of her belly, and every time she laughed, bright and unguarded my chest ached with how much I loved her. People moved around her everywhere. Emma, her best friend, was busy organizing the chaos with a clipboard in one hand and a whistle she had somehow found hanging around her neck. My mom stood nearby with the caterers, refusing to let them handle everything alone and insisting on arranging the fruit platter herself. And I was stuck in neutral, my mind racing a mile a minute. Any second now, the gender reveal was scheduled for three o'clock. It was two fifty-eight. I'd been counting down the minutes since breakfast. "You're pacing," Jake said, appearing at my elbow like a ghost. "You never pace." "I'm not pacing. I'm… s

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 107

    Serena’s POV I can't remember the last time I saw my own feet.That thought drifts through my mind as I stand in the doorway of what used to be our spare room, one hand braced against the frame, the other resting on the impossibly hard curve of my belly. The baby, our baby girl is pressing up against my ribs again, a familiar ache that I've grown almost fond of. Almost. I shift my weight and feel a dull twinge in my lower back, the kind that's become my constant companion these past few weeks. The nursery is coming together. Roman is on his knees in the center of the room, a screwdriver in one hand and a piece of instructions crumpled in the other. He's muttering to himself, the way he always does when he's trying to assemble something, and there's a smudge of dust on his cheek that I want to wipe away. The crib is mostly done, a beautiful white wooden frame with delicate carvings along the headboard, the mattress already in place and covered with a soft floral sheet. The changing

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 106

    Serena’s POV I stood in front of the full-length mirror in our bedroom, my hands resting on the curve of my belly. The white dress I had chosen hung loose around my body, but even then, I could see how much I had changed. My face was rounder now. My cheeks had filled out, and my nose looked wider than before. My eyes, once bright and sharp, seemed tired even after a full night’s sleep. I turned my head to the side and frowned. The woman staring back at me was almost a stranger. “Hey,” Roman’s voice came from behind me. His arms wrapped around my waist, his hands settling on top of mine over my belly. “You ready for today?” I didn’t answer right away. I just kept looking at my reflection. “I don’t recognize myself, Roman.” He pressed a kiss to my shoulder. “I do. You look beautiful, Serena. I wanted to believe him. He had been telling me the same thing for weeks now. Every morning when I complained about my swollen feet, every night when I groaned about my aching back. He always sai

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 105

    Serena’s POV I shifted my weight, leaning back against the plush velvet sofa, and let out a long, slow breath. I looked down at the curve of my stomach, which now dominated my view whenever I looked down. I rested my palms on the warm, stretched skin of my bump, feeling the heavy, solid weight of the little life growing inside me.For a moment, I just sat there in the silence of the living room, letting the feeling sink in. I was actually doing this. I was surviving.My mind drifted back to those first few months, the dark, grueling days of the first trimester. I closed my eyes, and I could almost smell it again: that metallic, sour scent that seemed to cling to everything and make my stomach flip. I remembered the mornings when I wouldn't even make it to the bathroom before I was retching, my throat burning, my body shaking with exhaustion. There were days when I felt like a ghost in my own home, pale and trembling, wondering if my body would ever stop fighting against the pregnancy

    Serena’s POV I sat on the edge of the couch in Roman's living room, staring out the window at the late afternoon sun dipping low over the city skyline. The light filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a warm glow across the room that made everything feel a little softer, a little less harsh

    Serena’s POV I woke up to soft sunlight coming through the curtains. It was the weekend, so we had slept a little longer than usual. Even though we were still a bit tired, we got out of bed to get ready for the gym. Roman was already up, stretching, by the time I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. H

    Roman’s POV The alarm went off before the sun came up. I didn’t move at first. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying to remember where I was. The room felt too quiet, too neat, too unfamiliar. Then it came back to me, slowly. I reached over and silenced the alarm. My hand brushed the

    Serena’s POV The drive back to the apartment felt like it dragged on forever, even though the city lights blurred past the car window in a rush. I'd spent way more days with Emma than I originally planned, laughing until our sides hurt, sharing secrets over late-night wine, and just soaking up t
