Liam’s POV

I couldn’t stay still. I paced from one end of the bedroom to the other, my footsteps echoing softly against the marble floor. Back and forth. Again and again. As if moving would stop the thoughts from crashing into me.

It didn’t.

My hands were tight at my sides, fingers curling and uncurling like they were searching for something to grab. My jaw ached from how hard I’d been clenching it. Every breath felt shallow, sharp, like my chest was too small to hold the rage building insid

  • 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

    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

    Roman’s POV I sat on the edge of our bed, watching Serena as she stood in front of the full-length mirror in our bedroom. Her hand rested gently on her belly, fingers spreading out over the soft fabric of her loose maternity dress. The dress was light blue, one of the new ones we'd bought last week when her old clothes started feeling too tight. She turned sideways, a small smile tugging at her lips as she examined her reflection. "Look at that," she said softly, her voice full of wonder. "It's really starting to show." I stood up and walked over to her, wrapping my arms around her waist from behind. My hands joined hers on her belly, feeling the slight curve that hadn't been there a few weeks ago. It was just a gentle swell now, but to us, it felt like the biggest change in the world. "Yeah," I whispered into her ear, kissing her neck lightly. "Our little one is making themselves known." Serena leaned back against me, her head resting on my shoulder. These moments were my favori

    Serena’s POV The moment I found out I was pregnant, everything in my body seemed to change all at once. Right after that, the symptoms hit me hard. It was like my body knew and decided to make it real. Morning sickness started that same day. I felt nauseous all the time, but worst in the mornings. I would wake up, and before I even got out of bed, my stomach would churn. I ran to the bathroom and threw up. It was not just once. It happened every morning. Sometimes two or three times. My vomit was mostly bile because I could not keep anything down. Eating became impossible. I barely ate anything. Food that I loved before now made me gag. The smell of it was the worst. Even the smell of toast or eggs, which Roman made for breakfast, sent me running. I hated the smell of coffee, which I used to drink every day. Chicken, my favorite, now smelled rotten to me. I tried crackers or ginger ale, things people say help, but even those turned my stomach. I lost weight fast. In one week, I dro

  • 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

    Roman’s POV Serena had quietly become part of my mornings. Not in a way that demanded attention, or disrupted my routine. She simply… slipped into it. At first, I thought it was temporary. A phase. Something she would eventually grow tired of. But mornings came and went, and still every time I

    Chloe’s POV The gym doors slid open behind me, releasing a rush of cold air against my damp skin. My body felt worked,legs sore, arms tight, lungs still catching up, but my mind was nowhere near calm. Sweat clung to my back, my sports bra damp, my heartbeat too fast for someone who was supposed

    Serena’s POV That morning, I woke up before the city did. I lay there for a while, staring at the ceiling, listening to the faint hum of the apartment, air conditioning, distant traffic far below, the steady silence that had slowly become familiar. My body felt rested in a way I wasn’t used to. N

    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
