My Best friend's Brother Chapter 59: A woman named Celia
A party was going on at Priya's penthouse.Sloane had never been to Priya's home before. She'd been to her office, her favorite coffee shop, a few bars. But never her apartment. Never her inner sanctum.The elevator opened directly into the penthouse. It had windows that provided a view of the city and made everything feel small. The furniture was expensive but comfortable. The art was modern but warm. It was Priya in every way. Bold. Confident. Put together."You made it," Priya said, pulling Sloane into a hug. "And you brought the mysterious boyfriend."Ashton stepped forward. Extended his hand."Ashton. It's good to finally meet you.""Priya. Sloane's told me a lot about you.""All good things, I hope.""Mostly good things."Priya laughed. "I like him. He's got a sense of humor."Sloane smiled. "He has his moments."The party was already in full swing.People were everywhere. Priya's friends. Colleagues. A few faces Sloane recognized from business school. The music was low. The con

Sloane was in her office when Mason walked in without knocking. He was carrying two cups of coffee and a bag from her favorite bakery. The same one they'd gone to as kids. The one with the chocolate croissants she'd loved since she was seven."Good morning, little sister," he said.She looked up from her computer. "You're in a good mood.""Can't a brother visit his sister at work?""You never visit me at work."He set the coffee and the bag on her desk. "I'm making up for lost time."She eyed him suspiciously. "What do you want?""Nothing. I just wanted to see you." He sat down across from her. "You look nice. Professional. Bossy."She laughed. "Bossy?""You're the boss now. It suits you."She picked up the coffee. Took a sip. It was exactly how she liked it. He remembered."So," she said. "What's really going on?"He was quiet for a moment. Then he leaned forward."I've been thinking," he said. "About everything. About the past year. About what you went through."She set down her cof
My Best friend's Brother Chapter 57: Old friend Priya
Sloane walked into her office building at eight in the morning.The security guard greeted her by name. The elevator took her to the fourth floor. The doors opened to a quiet hallway. Her company. Her space.David was already at his desk, coffee in hand. He stood up when he saw her."Welcome back, Ms. Chen.""Thanks, David."He handed her a coffee. "Everything's been handled. The quarterly reports are on your desk. The client meeting is at eleven. Your father called twice."She smiled. "Of course he did."She walked into her office. It was exactly as she'd left it. Neat. Organized. Hers.She sat down. Took a breath. Looked around.She was back.**The morning passed quickly.Meetings. Emails. Calls. It felt good to be in control again. To be the boss. To be the woman she'd been before James. Before the abuse. Before the divorce.At lunch, her father called."How's your first day back?""Busy. But good.""I'm proud of you. You know that?""I know, Dad.""You're stronger than you think.
My Best friend's Brother Chapter 56: 2009
♦Middle school. 2009.Sloane remembered the first time she saw him.It was the first day of seventh grade. She was standing by her locker, trying to figure out the combination. She'd been transferred to a new school. New city. New everything. She didn't know anyone.And then she saw him.He was standing by the window. Alone. Staring out at the parking lot. His shoulders were slumped. His face was blank. Empty.He looked like someone who'd forgotten how to smile.She walked over. Stood beside him. Didn't say anything. Just stood there.He looked at her. His eyes were dark and empty. "Hi," she said.He didn't respond."I'm Sloane."Nothing. No response at all. "I'm new here. I don't know anyone. And you looked like you needed a friend."He stared at her. Wondering why she was foolishly smiling at him. Although it was cute. She was cute. Then he turned back to the window.She didn't leave. She came back the next day. And the day after that. And the day after that. She sat beside him a
My Best friend's Brother Chapter 55: Do you remember me?
Sloane woke to an empty bed. The sheets beside her were cold. She sat up, rubbed her eyes, looked around the room. The bathroom light was off. The kitchen was quiet.She found him on the balcony.He was standing at the railing, staring out at the city. The sun was just starting to rise. He was shirtless. Barefoot. His hair was messy. His shoulders were tense. She walked up behind him. Wrapped her arms around his waist. Pressed her cheek to his back."Couldn't sleep?" she asked.He didn't answer. She held him tighter."What's wrong?""Nothing.""Liar."He was quiet for a long moment."Just bad dreams," he said finally.She didn't push. Just stood there with him. Watching the sun come up.**They spent the morning together.She made breakfast. He sat at the counter. Watched her and smiled when she burned the toast. Laughed when she cursed at the pan.It felt normal. Simple. Like something a real couple would do.After breakfast, they sat on the couch. They were watching the TV. His hand
My Best friend's Brother Chapter 54: I'm sorry
A week passed and Sloane didn't hear from James. No texts. No calls. No unexpected visits. The silence was deafening. She wanted to believe Ashton's plan had worked. Wanted to believe James had finally let go. But a part of her, the part that had been married to him for years knew better. "He's not going to just give up," she told Ashton one morning. "He might." "He won't." She set down her coffee mug. "He's never given up on anything in his life. He's stubborn. He's vindictive. He'll find a way to make me pay." Ashton reached for her hand. "Then we'll deal with it. Together." She looked at him. At his steady eyes. At his unwavering confidence. "Together," she repeated. --- But the silence stretched on. Another week. Then another. Sloane went to work. Came home. Slept at Ashton's apartment. Pretended everything was normal. It wasn't. She kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. For James to show up. For something to happen. Nothing did. Until Gerald called o

Mason's Mercedes pulled up forty-five minutes later. I knew it was his before I even looked up. I'd spent my entire adolescence listening for it, heart hammering every time Sloane mentioned he was coming home from the city for the weekend. Tonight, my heart hammered for a different reason. The c

“Fuck!”I hoisted my tote bag higher onto my shoulder and broke into a jog, my sneakers slapping against the sidewalk. Four o'clock. My landlady, Mrs. Harlow, had been very clear on the phone this morning. Cash, Lucy. I don't care about your bank's "technical difficulties." You show up with my mone

Every time I closed my eyes, I heard his voice. If I don't get away from her soon, I'm going to ruin everything. Her. Me. He was talking about me. I replayed the conversation a hundred times. I've spent ten years watching her. She looks at me like I'm furniture. Mason Chen had been watching me. F
My Best friend's Brother Chapter 4
Three days passed.Three days of avoiding Mason. Three days of hiding in the pool house like I was scared of something, him.I tried not to think about the nights he came home late.The job lead went nowhere. Mason made a call, like he'd promised, but the position had been filled by the time I reac
