Serena’s POV

The soft sound of the front door closing earlier that morning had barely pulled me out of sleep. Roman always tried to leave quietly when he had to go to work early, and most of the time he succeeded. I only remembered the faint feeling of the mattress shifting and the gentle warmth of his hand brushing against my arm before he slipped out of bed.

By the time I properly woke up, he was already gone. I stayed in bed for a while after opening my eyes, staring up at the ceiling as

  • 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

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 104

    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

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 103

    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 41

    Serena’s POV The sharp knock on my bedroom door pulled me out of a deep sleep. My eyes slowly opened, and I blinked at the sunlight slipping through the curtains. It felt like I had only just gone to bed a few minutes ago . My body felt heavy and tired, like it didn’t want to move at all. Then I

  • In the Arms of the Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 43

    Serena’s POV It was past four in the afternoon, and Roman still hadn’t come out of his room. We had gone to the gym together this morning, had breakfast, and then he’d gone upstairs to get ready for work, or at least, that’s what I thought he would do. But the hours passed, and I still hadn’t see

    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
