…RILEY…

*******

I bolted out of the hallway, heart still hammering from seeing the news. My head was spinning,but then my eyes landed on something.

Cassidy's car keys. Right there on the table outside the room. Cass would kill me if she found out I touched her stuff. But right now, I couldn’t care less. I grabbed them before my brain could even form a protest.

I was wondering whether I would drive to Soren office or wait at home when I saw something that made my heart sink deeply.

Through the glass doors at the end of the hall—Soren’s car shot past, the tires slicing through puddles, his headlights a blur in the dark.

My breath hitched. Oh my God… He was driving too fast. Way too fast. Fuck. This is terrible.

This wasn't the usual confident, controlled Soren I knew—no— this was different. Dangerous. The kind of speed that came from heartbreak, from rage. From someone trying to outrun his thoughts.

“What are you doing?” I whispered to myself, panic clawing through my throat. “Don’t d

    ...RILEY…******Damn, he’s so hot, just standing there, oblivious to me watching him from the stairs.How do I get over this man?Soren stood near the massive bookshelf in the living room, one hand braced on the frame, his head bowed slightly. The chandelier light caught on his hair, sharpening every line of that unreadable face. He looked like he wanted to punch the world, then apologize for it.Dinner was almost ready. Jeanne had fluttered off to make sure everything was perfect. The rest of us had been ushered to our rooms to freshen up, but I hadn’t moved yet.I stayed halfway down the staircase, watching him.I told myself I just wanted to make sure he was okay.Well, that was a lie. I just couldn’t stop looking.His shoulders were tense, jaw working, like he was chewing down words. Something was wrong. I could feel it from here.I almost went to him when I heard footsteps approaching and I turned to see Dwayne Knight.Even from this distance, I saw the way Soren’s whole body l

  • LOVE THY SISTER'S HUSBAND    056— Dwayne Knight.

    ...SOREN...*****The drive to my parents’ mansion felt endless.The kids were screaming in the back seat — Evie fighting Zayden over some stupid toy, Whitney asleep in her car seat with her head tilted slightly toward the window. I glanced at her through the rearview mirror, watching her small chest rise and fall. For a second, everything else faded.Then Cassidy’s voice disrupted the calm. “Evie! Zayden! I swear to God, if you two don’t shut up, I’ll—”She didn't finish her sentence but her tone was sharp enough to cut glass, and it made them stiffen instantly.But they continued bickering anyway.I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck. “Cass, let it go. They’re kids.”“They’re your kids too,” she snapped, glaring at me from the back seat, her lips tight, her bandaged cheek catching the afternoon light. “They’ve been at it for thirty minutes, Soren. Thirty minutes. Do something.”Before I could open my mouth, Riley turned around from the passenger seat, her voice calm but firm. “He

  • LOVE THY SISTER'S HUSBAND    054— Double Disaster.

    …RILEY…******God, Soren Knight. The one man who’d ever seen past my rough edges. The first man who made me want to be seen, not as Cass’s twin, not as the tomboy, but just as me.I still remember the first time I saw him back in college. He was the hot transfer student. He was quiet, tall and had this mysterious energy. The kind of guy who didn’t need to talk much to make the room tilt his way. Everyone expected him to fall for Cass. She was the queen bee, after all, with perfect hair, perfect smile, perfect everything. She ruled the campus like a throne she was born on, adored for her beauty and feared for her cruelty. Straight A student.And then there was me—Riley, the twin in sneakers and hoodies. Captain of the basketball team, champion sprinter, teacher’s favorite. I was known, sure, but never for being the girl guys dreamed about.So when Soren started showing up at my games, lingering by the bleachers, waiting until I was done to walk me halfway across campus… it threw me

    …RILEY….******The pounding from inside the dressing room hadn’t stopped for minutes. Glass shattered. Something heavy hit the wall—again, which only meant Cass was losing it.I leaned against the door, the faintest smile tugging at my lips. I heard another scream, then the sound of drawers being ripped open and I sighed out.I softened my voice, pressing my hand against the door. “Cass… please let me in.”“Get out of here, bitch!” she shrieked, . “I wanna be alone! Get out!”I flinched dramatically, loud enough for anyone passing by to hear, though the hallway was mercifully empty. “Cass, you’re scaring me. Please. You might hurt yourself.”A loud crash. Then silence. My heart thudded—not out of guilt, but exhilaration. I could almost picture her with mascara streaking down her perfect face, her diamond earrings lying forgotten on the floor. Everything she’d worked for unraveling before her very eyes.“Cass,” I whispered again, injecting panic into my tone. “It’s okay. We’ll fix i

  • LOVE THY SISTER'S HUSBAND    052: What Burns The knight.

    …SOREN…******HOURS AGO..I sat in the middle of the conference room, my fingers drumming impatiently on the deskHalf the board was still arguing about projections, the other half pretending to listen. I leaned back in my chair, watching the city skyline burn gold through the glass windows, half of my mind already somewhere else.Knight Innovations had been through hell this year—leaks, lawsuits, rumors of sabotage—but we were finally standing again. Barely, but standing. LyonTech was back on the table after months of ghosting us. That meant money. That meant momentum.Lukas, my CFO, was running numbers on the screen. He's the kind of guy investors trusted. My friend. My brother in this war of business and bullshit.“So, as we agreed,” Lukas was saying, flipping through the slides. “The partnership with LyonTech can fund the Helios Project to full capacity. All we need now is your final sign-off, Soren.”Helios. My secret. My redemption. A self-sustaining security network that could
