CAELEN VALENTINE’S POV

The sun was warm on my skin, golden rays soaking into my jacket as I strolled down the street, a paper cup of coffee cradled in my hand. It had been two weeks—two whole weeks—since I had walked away from Thorne Manor. Two weeks of stillness. Of solitude. Of waking up without the weight of Lucian Thorne’s presence pressing against my soul.

I was finally breathing again. Or so I thought.

But as I turned the corner onto a quieter street, a shiver crept up my spine. A crawling sensation, like eyes... watching me. Again.

It wasn’t the first time I’d felt it.

At first, I brushed it off as nerves. Trauma. A phantom wound from everything I’d been through. But this time—it felt different. This wasn’t just paranoia whispering from the dark corners of my mind. No, this was real. My skin prickled. My instincts screamed. I was being watched.

I tried to act normal, sipping my coffee, quickening my pace just enough to appear casual. The rhythm of my boots against the sidewalk g

  • MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   21. CAELEN & LUCIAN LITTLE ADVENTURE

    CAELEN VALENTINE’S POVI wake up to an empty bed.The sheets are still warm beside me, but the spot where he lay is already cooling, and the faint scent of his cologne lingers — dark, smoky, intoxicating.I stretch, my body aching pleasantly, every muscle reminding me of what happened last night. My lips still feel swollen from his kisses; my skin still tingles where his hands held me too tight.But he’s not here.A pang of disappointment slices through me. For a brief, foolish moment, I imagined waking to find his heavy arm draped possessively over me, his lips at my neck. Instead — nothing.I drag myself to the shower, hoping the hot water will wash away the restless feeling gnawing at my chest.Last night floods my mind in flashes as the water cascades over me — Lucian’s hungry gaze, his commanding voice, his hands and mouth all over me, leaving bruises and bite marks that I can still feel.The way he whispered mine into my ear when I could barely breathe.It felt so real.But now

  • MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   20. NEXT MORNING!

    CAELEN VALENTINE’S POVI wake to the faint glow of morning seeping through the curtains, my head pounding, my body aching pleasantly.The room is chaos — scattered clothes, overturned glasses, the smell of whiskey and sweat hanging heavy in the air. My chest tightens as memories trickle in, fragmented, hazy.I sit up slowly, dragging a hand through my hair, trying to piece together what happened.On the other side of the bed, Lucian stirs. He lies sprawled out like a king, shirtless, with bruises — mine — already marring his skin. His hair is messy, his lips slightly swollen.I shake him gently. “Lucian… wake up.”He opens one eye lazily, smirking at me. “What’s wrong, baby?” His voice is rough, still thick with sleep, but even then it drips with that dangerous charm that undoes me.I swallow hard, my throat dry. “What… what did we do last night? I can’t… remember much.”I have blurry memory of last night, i could remember how we both were tangled in sheets.His grin turns predatory,

  • MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   19. THEIR FIRST TIME.

    CAELEN VALENTINE'S POVLucian’s eyes glint with something dangerous as he takes my wrist, his grip just shy of painful, and leans down to whisper against my ear, “Come with me, Caelen… before I lose my patience entirely.”There’s no room to protest. His presence swallows me whole.We weave through the crowd of Aria and Ilya’s engagement, but I barely see anyone—only feel the heat of his hand on mine, his thumb pressing into my pulse point as though reminding me he’s in control.At the far end of the hall, Lucian pauses before an unmarked door. He fishes a key from his pocket and smirks without looking at me."I always come prepared," he murmurs, voice low and full of promise.He unlocks the door and pushes it open, revealing a dimly-lit lounge. Shadows curl in the corners, the only illumination a single golden lamp that casts a soft glow over velvet couches.He closes the door with a deliberate click.We’re alone.Lucian takes two slow steps toward me, his dark eyes raking over my bod

  • MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   18. ARIA'S ENGAGEMENT.

    CAELEN VALENTINE'S POVI’m trying to focus on getting ready for Aria’s engagement, but my stepmother, Diane Valentine, is making it impossible.She’s standing in the doorway of my room, arms folded, her eyes sweeping over me with that same cold scrutiny she’s perfected over the years."Caelen," she says, her tone sharp enough to cut glass, "why on earth are you wearing this? You look like some street urchin picked up off the curb."The corner of my jaw tightens, but I bite down the retort that threatens to slip out."It’s fine, Diana," I say evenly, adjusting my jacket. "It’s just a family gathering."Her laugh is humorless. "A family gathering? You do realize it’s Aria’s engagement, don’t you? The least you could do is try to look presentable."I inhale slowly, counting to ten in my head, willing myself not to snap. But she doesn’t stop."You know, Caelen," she continues, her voice dropping lower, more venomous, "you’ll never amount to anything if you keep carrying yourself like this

  • MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   17. ILINA.

    LUCIAN THORNE'S POVI gently rock my newborn niece, Ilina, in my arms, her soft whimpers echoing through the quiet room. She’s warm, so small, and yet her presence fills every corner of the house with life.My sister, Aria, is bustling around behind me, her hands full of papers and lists, her face flushed with the stress of last-minute preparations. Her engagement ceremony is just days away, and it seems every detail still needs her personal touch.As I sway back and forth, trying to calm Ilina, I feel a knot in my chest — a strange tangle of emotions I can’t quite name. Happiness for Aria. Pride in how far she’s come. Guilt that still clings to me like a shadow.Ilina’s tiny hands clutch at my shirt, and I glance down at her delicate face. Her dark lashes flutter, and she finally relaxes against me, her fussiness fading into quiet breaths.She’s beautiful — all wide brown eyes and wisps of dark hair. So innocent.Just then, Aria sweeps into the room with a harried expression."Lucian

  • MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   16. ILYA'S IN COMA!

    ARIA THRONE'S POVIt’s been one month since Lucian’s brutal attack on Ilya. One month since Ilya’s world was shattered into pieces. One month since his body was left broken and battered, his mind swallowed by the darkness of a coma.Ilya’s family and friends have been by his side every single day, praying, whispering his name, willing him to wake up. But the doctors’ words hang heavy in the sterile air:"It’s a miracle he’s still alive." But alive… is not the same as living.Lucian, on the other hand, seems to have moved on, his life untouched by the destruction he unleashed. As if nothing happened.I sit beside Ilya’s hospital bed, my hands cradling my swollen belly. Seven months pregnant. And yet… it feels like an eternity since he’s been gone. Trapped in this silent, unending sleep — his body broken, his mind somewhere far away.I gaze at his face, my eyes tracing every familiar line. Wake up.Come back to me.Meet our child.But the machines keep up their monotonous
