Roman’s POV

Work trips had always been simple for me.

You pack your bag. You get on a plane. You sit in rooms filled with men who talk too much and listen too little. You shake hands, sign papers, and return to a hotel room that looks exactly like the last one you slept in. Same neutral colors. Same faint smell of detergent and expensive soap.

I stood by the window of my hotel room, one hand wrapped around a glass of water I hadn’t touched. Below me, the city was alive, headlights cutti

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 102

    Roman’s POV I woke up this morning with a heavy feeling in my chest. Serena lay beside me, her face pale under the soft light filtering through the curtains. She had not been feeling well since yesterday. Her skin felt warm to the touch, like a low fire burning inside her. She curled up under the blankets, her breathing slow and uneven. I watched her for a moment, my hand gently brushing her hair back from her forehead. She did not even stir. She had come home two days ago looking completely drained. Her steps were slow as she walked in, slipping off her shoes by the door.“I’m okay,” she said when I asked, but her voice didn’t carry its usual spark. Now, in the soft morning light, she still looked weak. She hadn’t gotten out of bed at all the day before, her assistant, Mia, had to handle everything at the shop. I sat on the edge of the bed, now getting ready to leave for work, my hand resting gently on her shoulder as I asked how she was feeling. She gave me a small smile, tryin

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 101

    Serena’s POV The alarm on my phone buzzes softly from the nightstand, pulling me from a dream where I'm arranging bolts of silk in endless rows. I reach out, my arm heavy like it's filled with sand, and silence it with a tap. The room is still dim, the early morning light just starting to peek around the edges of the heavy curtains Roman hung last summer. He said they would block out the street noise, and they do, but this morning, I wish for a bit more brightness to jolt me awake. I lie there, staring at the ceiling fan spinning lazily above. Normally, by now, I'd be up, feet hitting the cool hardwood floor, heading to the kitchen for a quick cup of coffee before diving into the day. But today, my body refuses to move. It's as if every muscle has decided to stage a quiet rebellion, pinning me down under the soft weight of the duvet. I blink a few times, willing myself to sit up, but a wave of tiredness crashes over me, deeper than any late night at the shop has ever caused. The s

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 100

    Roman’s POV I sat at my desk in the office, staring at the computer screen even though the day's work was done. The clock on the wall ticked past seven in the evening, and the building felt quiet now, with most people already gone home. My mind wasn't on reports or emails, though. It kept drifting back to Serena and her shop. That surprise I planned for her opening, it had all come together just right, and seeing her light up like that still warmed me from the inside out. It started a few months ago, on one of those quiet evenings when we were curled up on the couch. Serena had her head on my shoulder, already a little sleepy, when she mentioned it, how she wanted to own a fashion shop. “Somewhere I can sell pieces that make people feel confident and beautiful,” she had said softly. She sounded tired, but I still caught the spark in her voice, the way her eyes lit up even in that moment. Right then, I knew I wanted to make it happen for her. Seeing her happy, that smile she gives w

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 99

    Serena’s POV The snow fell softly outside our window on Christmas morning, blanketing everything in a quiet white glow. I woke up to the smell of pine from the tree we had decorated together the night before. Roman's arm was wrapped around my waist, his breath warm against my neck. This was our first Christmas as husband and wife, and my heart felt so full it might burst. "Merry Christmas, baby ," he murmured, pulling me closer. His voice was husky from sleep, and it sent a shiver through me. We lay there for a while, just holding each other, listening to the crackle of the fire we'd lit the evening before. The house was cozy, filled with twinkling lights and the scent of cinnamon from the cookies we'd baked. The day felt calm and beautiful, like everything was moving just right. We started by opening gifts under the tree. Roman had wrapped each of mine neatly, with little notes on them. I gave him his gifts too, and we both smiled and laughed as we opened everything. Later, we

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 98

    Roman’s POV I woke up gently as morning light slipped through the curtains, filling the room with a soft glow. It was Christmas day, and the air in our bedroom felt different, warmer, fuller of promise. The clock on the nightstand showed just past seven, but I didn't mind the early hour. Today was special. I sat up in bed, the sheets rustling around me, and glanced over at Serena. She lay there beside me, her chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm, her dark hair spread out like a fan on the pillow. Her face looked peaceful, lips slightly parted, and I couldn't help but smile at how beautiful she was, even in sleep. I leaned in close, careful not to wake her too suddenly. My lips brushed against her cheek, soft and warm. "Good morning, princess," I whispered, my voice low and gentle. I kissed her other cheek, lingering just a second longer. A small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, and her eyes fluttered but stayed closed. She was pretending, I could tell. That little s

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 97

    Serena’s POV The sun peeked through the curtains of our bedroom window, casting a warm glow across the white sheets. I stretched my arms above my head, feeling the muscles in my back pull tight before relaxing. My toes wiggled under the covers, and I let out a soft sigh as the world came into focus. We were back in New York, in our cozy apartment, after what felt like the longest and best vacation of my life. The honeymoon had stretched out for weeks, extra days tacked on because neither Roman nor I wanted to leave the sandy beaches and quiet sunsets behind. But now, here we were, back in the hustle of the city. A little pang hit my chest thinking about it. The endless blue water, the way Roman's hand felt in mine during long walks at dusk, it all seemed so far away already. I rolled over to Roman's side of the bed, expecting to feel his warmth, but the sheets were cool and empty. He must have left early, just like he said he would last night. His pillow still had that faint scent

    Serena’s pov I never thought I’d find comfort in the rhythm of someone else’s life, but with Roman, it felt easy. Our days fit together now. The awkward silences were gone, and so was that careful distance we used to keep. When he came home from work, he’d come straight to my room if I wasn’t in

    Roman’s POV I didn’t realize how much I needed that night until we stepped into the stadium. The sound hit me first, loud and alive. A rush of voices, music, chants, and whistles. It wrapped around me instantly, loosening something in my chest that I hadn’t realized was tight. The lights were bri

Somewhere between the first week and the fourth, the numbers stopped meaning anything. Time stretched and folded in on itself, and my days began to loo
