My Brother's Bestfriend turns me on Chapter 52: The Escape
The panic wing did not stay safe for long. Another explosion rocked the outer structure. Smoke began to seep under the reinforced doors. The air grew hotter. Reports came in broken bursts over the secure radios. The east wing is compromised, the main hall is burning, Valenti men pushing deeper with incendiaries. The mansion was no longer just under siege. Parts of it were on fire. Dante ordered a full evacuation of the core family through the secondary routes. Marco and Enzo moved to secure Father and Bianca. In the confusion of shouted orders and moving bodies, I slipped away from the group. I could not leave Killian bleeding in a corridor while the house burned around him. I found him near the service junction where I had last seen him. He was on one knee with his left arm hanging useless and right hand still gripping the gun. Blood had soaked through his shirt and down his side. The shoulder wound was worse than he had let me see. He looked up when I dropped beside him. “I told
My Brother's Bestfriend turns me on Chapter 51: The Dinner Ambush
Sunday dinner was set like a formal execution. Everyone sat in their places. Killian was brought in under guard. Two men walked him to a chair at the far end of the table, close enough to be seen, far enough to be controlled. His bruises had faded to yellow and green. He wore clean clothes but no jacket, wrists free, the guards close enough to end him if the order came. Father had allowed it for one reason only: the first test still stood, and a possible Vance heir meant the father of that heir sat where the family could watch him. Under guard and under judgment. Alive for now. The tension in the room was thick enough to choke on. No one spoke. Dante’s eyes moved between Killian and me without rest. Marco’s jaw stayed tight. Enzo looked like he wanted to be anywhere else. Bianca watched the whole performance with open interest. Outside, extra men lined the grounds. Everyone knew Lorenzo had taken the pregnancy news as an insult. Everyone this dinner was a risk. No one expected how
My Brother's Bestfriend turns me on Chapter 50: Bianca’s Doubt
Breakfast the next morning felt like walking into a trap. The long table was set as usual. Father sat at the head. Dante to his right. Marco and Enzo in their places. I took my seat with careful movements, the way someone nursing early nausea might. My lie had to hold in every small detail. Killian was still locked in the dungeon. Although I bought us a little time with the fake test, I do not plan on wasting it by slipping in front of the wrong eyes. Bianca was already there. She watched me the moment I entered with a small, sharp smile on her lips. She had been quiet and invisible since the night we came back from the cabin, even when I screamed my love for Killian in the basement. But silence from her was never peace. It was waiting. I poured water instead of coffee and took a small piece of toast. The performance was deliberate. A pregnant woman in the early weeks might avoid strong smells and rich food. I let my face show a mild discomfort when a platter of eggs passed near me.

I returned to the main part of the house under guard. Father was already waiting in the study with Dante. Dr. Aris delivered the news himself in the careful, professional tone of a man who had just been very well paid. “Early positive,” he said. “Consistent with conception in the last two to three weeks. Hormone levels are still low. I recommend a follow up test in fourteen to twenty one days before any permanent decisions are made. Until then, the pregnancy should be treated as viable.” Father’s face remained unreadable, but I saw the calculation start behind his eyes. A pregnant Vance daughter could not be unmarried or shamed. That rule still stood. It was the only reason Killian was in a cell instead of a grave. Dante watched me the entire time the doctor spoke. His suspicion hadn’t faded. If anything, it had sharpened. He knew how convenient the timing was. He knew how desperate I had been the night before. But the paper in front of him said positive, and even he couldn’t shoot

We walked into the main study together. Father stood behind the desk with a ruthless expression on his face. He looked like he had been woken with bad news. His eyes were assessing us. Dante, Marco, and Enzo flanked him. Bianca was notably absent. The air in the room felt too thick to breathe. Father’s gaze moved from me to Killian and back again. He took in the bruises on Killian’s face, and noticed the way we stood close to each other. “Explain,” Father said. One word. I didn’t wait for anyone else to speak. “I’m pregnant. It’s Killian’s. Dante was going to kill him for it. I told the truth to stop it.” Father’s expression didn’t change, but something dangerous moved behind his eyes. “A Vance princess does not carry a child out of wedlock. She does not shame this family by getting pregnant for a bodyguard. She does not stand in my study and announce that she has been careless with the bloodline.” “I’m not ashamed,” I said, forcing my voice to stay steady. “I love him. The chil
My Brother's Bestfriend turns me on Chapter 47: The "Pregnancy" Lie
The room went dead silent. Dante’s arm froze. The gun stayed raised but no longer steady. Marco and Enzo, who had followed him back in, stared at me like I had grown a second head. Killian’s hand on my arm tightened hard. I felt the shock run through his body. I kept talking, voice shaking but loud. “I’m pregnant. It’s his. If you put a bullet in him, you put one in the child too. Is that what you want? To kill your own blood before it’s even born?” Dante’s face went through several emotions at once. Rage, disbelief, calculation. The gun lowered an inch. “You’re lying.” “I’m not.” I lifted my chin and forced myself to meet his eyes. “We weren’t careful when we're together. You want to execute him for touching me? Then you’ll be executing the next Vance at the same time.” Killian’s voice was rough behind me. “Alessia…” I didn’t look at him. I couldn’t. If I saw the shock on his face too clearly, I might break. He knew the truth as well as I did. We had not been careful in the cab
My Brother's Bestfriend turns me on Chapter 3: The Velvet Room
The bass hit me like a heartbeat the second I stepped inside the Velvet Room. Lights flashed across the crowded dance floor, bodies grinding to the heavy music. This was one of our clubs, and everyone knew it. The guards at the entrance bowed low as I walked past, their eyes respectful but wide. “M
My Brother's Bestfriend turns me on Chapter 6: The Lap Dance
The booth felt too small, too hot. Killian’s body pressed against mine, hard and unyielding. His hand was still tangled in my hair, his grey eyes burning down at me like he was one second from breaking. The tequila from earlier gave me the courage I needed. I pushed him back until his legs hit the

He dragged me through the crowd toward the back of the club. People moved out of his way fast. Sofia caught my eye from the dance floor and smirked, giving me a little wave like she knew exactly what was happening. My heels clicked fast on the floor as I stumbled to keep up with his long strides. T
My Brother's Bestfriend turns me on Chapter 4: The Provocation
One tall guy with dark hair moved in front of me. He wasn’t bad looking. He matched my rhythm, his hands hovering near my waist. I kept dancing, letting the heat of the club and the alcohol push me. My eyes scanned the upper level for a second. There he was. Killian. Still in the shadows, watching
