Serena’s POV

After weeks of planning, the day finally came.

I woke up with that strange feeling in my chest again the one that felt like excitement and fear sitting in the same place. The room was still quiet, the early morning light slipping through the curtains like it was afraid to wake me. For a moment, I stayed in bed, staring at the ceiling, listening to the soft hum of the city below the hotel.

Today was my bridal shower.

Everyone kept saying how lucky I was. How blessed. How perfec

  • 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 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

    Serena pov I blinked my eyes open to the soft light filtering through the curtains. The clock on my nightstand read 6:45 a.m., the same as every other day, even though it was Saturday. Almost without thinking, I swung my legs over the side of the bed. The floor felt cool under my feet as I padded

    Roman’s POV The office was almost empty when the knock came. It was late afternoon, the kind of hour when the sun had begun to sink, but the day still refused to let go. Orange light filtered through the glass walls of my office, stretching long shadows across the floor. Most of the staff had alr

    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
