Roman’s POV

I got back to the apartment later than I planned.

The hallway lights were dim, the kind that made everything look quieter than it really was. My shoulders ached as I unlocked the door, the day still clinging to me like dust I hadn’t shaken off. I dropped my keys in the bowl by the door and shut it behind me, leaning my forehead briefly against the wood.

Silence.

That was usually what I liked about this place.

I kicked off my shoes and walked into the living room, loosening my

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 52

    Roman’s POV I stepped off the plane at the airport, feeling the weight of the trip lift off my shoulders. The air was crisp, and I scanned the crowd until I spotted Mark standing there with that familiar grin, holding a sign with my name on it even though he knew exactly who I was. 'Welcome back, boss,' he said as I approached, grabbing my bag without missing a beat. I clapped him on the shoulder, relieved to see a friendly face after all those long days away. We walked to the car in the parking lot, the black sedan shining under the lights. I slid into the back seat, and Mark got behind the wheel. 'How was the trip?' he asked, starting the engine. 'Long and tiring,' I replied, leaning back and closing my eyes for a second. But my mind was already racing ahead to home, to Serena. The drive flew by in what felt like minutes. Mark knew the route like the back of his hand, weaving through traffic without a hitch. Before I knew it, we were pulling up to the house, the familiar driveway

    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 that easy friendship that always made me feel lighter. But earlier that afternoon, Roman's text popped up on my phone: On my way home, baby. Can't wait to see you. My heart had skipped at those words, pulling me back to reality. Time with Emma was amazing, but nothing beat the pull toward him. I pulled up outside Emma's place one last time, grabbing my bag from the passenger seat. She met me at the door, her hair messy from our morning gossip session, eyes sparkling like she didn't want this to end either. "Serena, this was the best," she said, pulling me into a tight hug. Her arms squeezed around my shoulders, and I hugged her back just as hard, breathing in the faint scent of her vanilla

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 50

    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 empty side of the bed. I sat up slowly and rubbed my face. My jaw felt tight from grinding my teeth in my sleep. The digital clock glowed 5:42 a.m. Too early, but there was no point going back to sleep. My mind was already running. I swung my legs over the side of the bed. The floor was cold. Hotels always keep the air too sharp, like they want to remind you that you don’t belong there. The curtains were still closed. I pulled them apart. The city outside looked half-asleep. A few cars moved through the streets. Streetlights blinked lazily. The sky was that dull grey color that comes before sunrise, when everything feels paused. I stood there longer than I meant to. At home, mornings ne

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 49

    Serena’s POV The apartment felt empty without Roman. He had been gone for three weeks on that work trip, and it felt much longer. Every room was too quiet, the kind of silence that made my chest feel tight. I moved from the kitchen to the living room with nothing to do, just trying to pass the time. The bed was the hardest part. Since the first night I slept in his room, curled up beside him under those heavy blankets, I never went back to the guest room. Even now, with him far away, I still slept on his side, and every night I buried my face in his pillow, hoping it would make me miss him less. What I missed most were the slow, lazy days we used to share. The days we stayed in bed until noon, talking about nothing. His hand would rest on my hip, tracing small circles while I laughed at his silly jokes. Sometimes we cooked together, bumping into each other in the kitchen and stealing food from the pan before it was ready. I missed waking up to the sound of his breathing, his arm a

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 48

    Roman’s POV I woke up before the sun even thought about rising. The alarm on my phone buzzed softly, pulling me out of a deep sleep. Another work trip. I sighed, rubbing my eyes as I sat up in bed. Serena was still curled up beside me, her breathing steady and peaceful. I didn't want to wake her, not yet. These early mornings were tough, but the job demanded it. I slipped out of bed quietly and headed straight to the bathroom. I turned on the hot water and stepped under the spray, letting it wash away the sleepiness. The steam filled the room, and I scrubbed down quickly. I dried off with a towel, feeling the cool air hit my skin as I wiped away the droplets. Back in the bedroom, I picked out my clothes, keeping things simple since it was going to be a long day of traveling. Nothing fancy, just dark jeans that fit comfortably, a plain gray T-shirt that sat well on my shoulders, and a light jacket in case it got cold later. I pulled on a pair of socks and stepped into my sneaker

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 47

    Serena’s POV The alarm buzzed softly on my nightstand, pulling me out of a deep sleep. I blinked at the clock—6:00 AM. Another gym day. Weekends didn't change that for Roman and me. Our routine kept us steady, like the beat of a heart we both needed. I stretched under the warm covers, feeling the ache from yesterday's workout linger in my legs. Roman was already up; I could hear the faint sound of water running in the bathroom. He always beat me to it on these mornings. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood, the cool wooden floor sending a shiver up my bare feet. The room was still dim, sunlight just starting to peek through the curtains. I grabbed my towel from the chair and headed to the shower. The hot water hit my skin like a hug, washing away the sleep. I lathered up with my favorite lavender soap, letting the steam fill the air. After rinsing off, I dried quickly and pulled on my workout clothes: black leggings that hugged my thighs and a sports bra that kept eve
