Chapter 84: Mutual Ground

Sixty days after the incident things began to slowly change but felt like it didn't.

I walked the full residential area each morning without stopping. But what changed was the way I began to see Killian inside it.

For weeks I had accepted his presence as a fixed something that existed to meet my pace, absorb my silence, and remain when my grief became intense. I had not looked closely at the cost of everything on him. On a quiet afternoon I watched him stand at the window reviewing a note and

  • My Brother's Bestfriend turns me on    Chapter 84: Mutual Ground

    Sixty days after the incident things began to slowly change but felt like it didn't. I walked the full residential area each morning without stopping. But what changed was the way I began to see Killian inside it. For weeks I had accepted his presence as a fixed something that existed to meet my pace, absorb my silence, and remain when my grief became intense. I had not looked closely at the cost of everything on him. On a quiet afternoon I watched him stand at the window reviewing a note and noticed the stiffness in his shoulders, the way he rolled the right one once as if easing an old strain, the fatigue that were obvious at the corners of his eyes. He had been doing this without relief since the night of the restaurant. Matching my movements and emotions, cooking, waiting through the nightmares I have. Holding me together so I won't collapse. I set down the book I had not been reading. “You need proper rest that is not spent in a chair beside this bed,” I said. He looked over

  • My Brother's Bestfriend turns me on    Chapter 83: The Weight of Ordinary

    The intermediary’s capture changed nothing inside the suite. I received the full report about the captured intermediary from Dante two days later. The man had given up the contact chain that led back to a Valenti cut out. It was useful information for the war. But it did not return my child. It did not rewrite the second in the restaurant when I had moved and the future of my baby had stopped. I listened to the summary, thanked Dante for the update, and returned to the chair by the window when he left. Killian watched me from across the room. He had learned the difference between silence that needed company and silence that needed space. Today he gave me space without leaving. He stayed at the low table with a set of coastal maps Dante had authorized him to review. He was present but not pressing. I sat with my hands open in my lap and tried to feel something sharper than the constant quiet. In the afternoon I told Killian I wanted an hour alone. He looked at me carefully, then n

  • My Brother's Bestfriend turns me on    Chapter 82: Small Motions

    On Thursday, I stood at the window longer than I had in days, watching a pair of guards cross the open space and disappear under the far end. Then I turned from the window to watch Killian for a moment. Killian was in the small kitchen unit cleaning the knife he had used to cut fruit. He had been doing small things like that all week, like keeping the space orderly, keeping food available, making sure this quietness does not become complete isolation. “I want to try walking longer corridors today,” I said. He set the knife down and looked at me carefully. “The nurse said only short distances for now.” “I know. I want to try.” He did not argue. He only nodded, dried his hands, and came to walk beside me. We left the suite and moved slowly along the residential corridor. The wound in my side pulled with each step, a dull reminder rather than sharp pain. I counted doorways. I focused on the feel of the floor under my feet. Halfway to the turn I had to stop and rest one hand against

    On the twelfth day after the shooting, I found Killian in the small kitchen attached to the suite. He was cooking. Not heating something sent up from the main kitchen but actually cooking. The smell of garlic and tomatoes filled the space. He glanced over when I appeared in the doorway, then returned to the pan. “You need real food,” he said. “You're not eating much of what they keep sending.” I sat on the stool and watched him work. Chopping, stirring, tasting. It felt almost unreal after so many days of quietness between us. He moved calmly. You can tell he is doing it out of care. When he set the plate in front of me the portion was small and simple. I ate slowly. For the first time in days the food had a taste I could accept. Killian did not watch me. He simply ate his own portion and let the quiet exist. I looked down at the plate. “The doctors still do not know if I can carry a child again.” “I know.” He set his fork down. “If the answer is no, then the answer is no. It doe

  • My Brother's Bestfriend turns me on    Chapter 80: Return to Quiet Rooms

    On the eighth day they moved me out of the medical wing. The wound had closed enough for the doctors to clear a return to private quarters under continued monitoring. A nurse would check on me twice daily. Pain medication would continue on a tapering schedule. The larger questions, about scarring, about future pregnancies, were left for later appointments. There was nothing more they could do for the part of me that had gone empty. Killian walked beside the wheelchair the entire way. He did not speak unless I did. When we reached the suite, he unlocked the door and stepped in first, scanning the space out of long habit before helping me stand and move to the bed. The room looked the same. The same reinforced windows. The same order. But everything felt altered. The chair by the window where I had sat with both hands on my stomach feeling the baby move. The path we had cleared in the room so I could move more easily as the pregnancy advanced. The small stack of soft clothes that no

    The words dropped into the quiet room and stayed there. Killian shifted his weight but did not speak. I felt the air leave my lungs in a slow exhale. “I was angry,” Bianca continued. Her voice stayed low and steady, as if she had practiced the sentences until they could be delivered without breaking. “Angry about my position that that was limited. Angry about watching you and Killian build something the family had to accept. Angry about being useful only when it suited everyone else. I contacted a Valenti intermediary I still knew from years ago. I did not ask them to kill you. I told them where the family would be and when. I told them the dinner was important. I wanted disruption. I wanted Father and Dante to feel the cost of treating me like a tool they could pick up and put down.” She finally looked directly at me. “I did not know they would send shooters into the room. I did not know you would put yourself in front of me. When the gun was set towards me and you moved, I unders

    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

    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

    “Damn, Alessia,” Sofia said, stepping back with a wicked grin. “You look like pure sex. That tight little body in leather? Killian won’t be able to look away. I bet the big, scary enforcer gets rock hard just seeing you walk by.” My face heated up, but I didn’t deny it. I turned side to side in th

    I woke up on my 21st birthday with my heart already racing. Sunlight poured into my bedroom in the Vance mansion, lighting up the furniture and the silk sheets. This was the day everything changed. Or at least I hoped it would. A firm knock hit my door. “Alessia, downstairs. Now.” Dante’s voice, d
