My Best Friend's Brother Fire in the Kitchen
CHAPTER 24 Maya woke up with a smile on her face. The kind that reached her eyes and refused to go away. Last night still felt like a dream. Ethan. His arms. His words. "I feel the same way. I always had, Maya." It echoed in her head like music. And for once, she didn’t need to push the feeling away. She rolled off the bed and walked to the bathroom humming, brushing her teeth with more energy than usual. A quick glance at the mirror showed her flushed cheeks and bright eyes and she giggled to herself. When she got to the kitchen, Lily was already slicing onions. "Good morning," Maya greeted. "You look... unusually happy this morning," Lily said, raising one brow. " Oh really?" Maya said trying to hide her excitement. Before Lily could say another word, the front door opened and a familiar structure stepped in. Daniella. Maya blinked. Was she here to aid in preparing breakfast just as she promised. “Daniella?, your early” Lily said, surprised. " Well, I promised I will
My Best Friend's Brother I Read It, Maya
Chapter 23 A sleek black car rolled up the driveway. The driver door swung open, and Ethan stepped out. Tall. Calm. Dangerously handsome. His black shirt clung to him in all the right places, his sleeves rolled slightly, showing the veins on his arms. His jaw clenched tight, and his eyes were locked on Jay like he could break him just by looking. Who’s that?” Jay asked under his breath. Maya took a deep breath. “That’s Ethan.” " Lily brother?" Maya nodded. Ethan walked over, slow and composed. His eyes didn’t leave Jay for a second. " And you are?" Ethan asked Jay as he reached them. " Hy, Ethan, am Jason" He replied. " He helped me at the bar, I ran into Ryan and he almost hurt me, but Jay here helped me." Maya put in. Ethan's eyes left Jay and centered on her fill with concern. " Are you hurt?" Maya shook her head quickly. “No. Jay stepped in before anything could happen.” Jay gave a small nod of acknowledgment, but Ethan didn’t return it. “Thank you,” Maya said to J
My Best Friend's Brother Never a Good Option
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO She didn’t expect a voice behind her. “Maya?” She froze. That voice. Slowly, she turned, her spine stiffening the moment she saw him. Ryan. He stood a few steps away, wearing a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, his shirt was slightly unbuttoned at the top. She stood up quickly, heart pounding. “I don’t want to talk to you,” she said under her breath and began to walk away. He followed her, picking up his pace. “Wait—i have been trying to explain to you. You don’t pick my calls. Did you block me or something?” Maya didn’t answer. “Maya!” His voice sharpened. She stopped and turned to face him, but not with warmth, only tiredness. “Please just leave me alone.” But instead of stepping back, Ryan suddenly grabbed her elbow. Harshly. His fingers locked around her arm, forcing her to face him. “Don’t you dare walk out on me!” he snapped. “Answer me!” Maya tried to pull free, but his grip was tight, painful. “Let go of me!” “No! You don’t get to tre
My Best Friend's Brother Old Places, Old Faces
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE The drive back was quiet. Ethan kept his eyes on the road, both hands on the steering wheel. Daniella stared at him for a while, then looked outside the window. The silence between them was thick and uncomfortable. She let out a small sigh, then turned her head toward him again. "Is that bar still around?" she asked softly. "The one we went to that last time... I think it was two years ago. Just down this road." Ethan remembered it, two years ago, when she had come visiting, Ethan had taken her there after dinner. They had laughed over a bottle of wine, talked about work, and even danced a little. It had been fun. But it was two days after that day that they broke up, calling off the engagement. Ethan didn’t look at her. “We’re not here for drinking.” Daniella smiled, gently placing a hand on his knee. “Come on, Ethan. Just a quick stop. It’s not a crime.” He didn’t flinch, didn’t move. “We’re taking you home." She chuckled, still caressing his knee li
My Best Friend's Brother Daniella true colors
CHAPTER TWENTY She jumped at the knock. Her heart started racing. She knew that knock. It was Ethan. Without thinking too much, she grabbed her comb, did one last fix of her hair, then opened the door. Her eyes didn’t meet his. “I..I just needed some air,” she muttered quickly, brushing past him. Her voice was low, and she didn’t stop walking. Ethan blinked. “Maya—” he tried to say something. But she was already down the hallway. She didn’t want to hear his voice. Not now. Not when she felt like this. Not when she felt like a shadow. A shadow beside Daniella. Ethan probably didn’t even notice her leaving. Not when a goddess like Daniella was in the house. ---- When Maya arrived in the dining room, the table was already half full. Mr. Bennett sat at the head, looking sharp in his clean white shirt. Mrs. Bennett was to his right, smiling sweetly as always, and Daniella sat beside her like a doll on display—her red lips curled in a polite smile, her blond hair shini
My Best Friend's Brother Maya's Turmoil
CHAPTER 19 As Daniella pulled back from the hug, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett walked away smiling, clearly pleased with how warmly the greeting had gone. But the moment their backs turned, Daniella’s smile vanished. She looked Maya up and down, slowly and deliberately. Her eyes scanned Maya’s simple outfit, her gaze dropped to Maya's shoes, slowly climbing up to her plain jeans, her oversized hoodie, her messy bun. She raised a single perfect brow. " So now you wear his hoodie" she said more like a sentence. Maya smiled politely. " Oh, it just happened." Daniella let out a soft, dismissive scoff. Maya stiffened. Before she could fully process what had just happened, Daniella turned away, her hips swaying like she knew exactly how beautiful she was. Maya just stood there, still frozen in the moment, like her feet had forgotten how to move. Had she imagined that? That… scoff? That look? No. She hadn’t. Her throat tightened. She glanced down at herself. Ethan's hoodie. Loose jea
