My Sister's Fiance fear, money, & very efficient stupidity
I was still holding Max’s pack of crackers when Zach’s words reached my brain in an extremely rude way.Since Medellín.Not since this morning. Not since Daniel Kessler hit the wet pavement with Theo’s face torn halfway off. Not since his phone coughed up one leftover file after the auto-wipe and called me the primary guardian like I was applying for a job in hell.Since Medellín.I put the crackers back in the drawer with a level of care no children’s snack deserved. If I set them down too hard, I might start throwing things. And Max’s dinosaur lamp was too cute to become collateral damage in the war against an Italian man with a God complex.I turned around slowly.Zach was still standing near the door, tall, half-wet, far too handsome for a situation this morally disgusting. The ends of his black hair had started to dry, falling slightly over his forehead. His white T-shirt clung to his chest in a way that should have been illegal within fifty feet of a kid’s bedroom.“Since Medell
My Sister's Fiance a drawer full of fatherhood
Max hugged the ball to his chest. His blue eyes lit up so brightly that something in my chest tightened. “The bed is low,” he said, inspecting it.“So you don’t fall.”“I don’t fall.”“You fell off the couch in your sleep once.”“That was because the couch moved.”“The couch did not move.”“In my dream, I moved.”“Too much blue.” Issa appeared behind us and looked around her brother’s room.Max glared at her. “My room isn’t for you.”“I don’t want it either.”“You were looking at the ball.”“I looked because the color was yelling.”“Your lavender yells too.”“Lavender whispers.”“Lavender is for grandmas.”Issa immediately lunged at him.I caught her around the waist just in time. “No.”“But he insulted my color family!”“Your color family will survive.”“He has to apologize.”Max grinned. “Lavender grandma.”Issa shrieked.I lifted her before her hands reached Max’s hair. Her weight immediately pulled at my arm.“Dios mío, you’ve been in this house for two minutes.”“I’m the victim,”
My Sister's Fiance Almost a Castle, Definitely a Trap
The foyer was spacious without feeling like a hotel. Dark gray stone flooring gave way to wide oak planks. A grand staircase curved up to the second floor with a simple black railing. To the left, an open family room overlooked the lake. A fire burned in a stone fireplace that rose almost two stories high.To the right, a wide arched doorway revealed a two-story library. Dark wood shelves reached the ceiling, complete with a rolling ladder, a small balcony on the upper level, leather sofas, reading tables, and low lighting.Farther in, there was an indoor garden beneath a skylight. A small tree, stones, green plants, and water moving slowly down one wall.I hadn’t even finished processing all of it when Max ran three steps into the middle of the foyer, spun around, and threw his arms open.“Is the backyard big enough for an Arsenal stadium?”“Depends on the size of the stadium.” Zach closed the door behind us.“A big one.”“Of course.”“Can the roof open?”“We don’t have a stadium yet

I looked at the pile of things she had packed. A purple plastic crown sat on top of one of the suitcases. “The crown is essential?”“Yes.” Issa pressed a hand to her chest.“That too.” Max pointed at the small ball beside the suitcase.“I wasn’t talking to either of you.” I looked at Bianna. “You gave up way too quickly.”Bianna lowered the tote bag from her shoulder and looked toward the foyer behind me. From where we stood, the hole in the glass wasn’t clearly visible, but the shards were scattered at the end of the hallway. So were the armed men, the lowered shutter, and the faces of every adult who had lost the ability to pretend.“Boss,” she said, “I just watched a man wearing Theo’s face on the monitor.”“That is not a reason to pack skincare.”“That is exactly why you pack skincare. Trauma dehydrates the skin.”“We haven’t agreed to leave.”“I know.” She pushed the suitcase closer to the garage door. “But today, I support armed capitalism.”Zach glanced at her. “Only today?”“
My Sister's Fiance glass in my hair, murder on my mind
Zach didn’t give me time to answer.Maybe he knew I had one. I always had an answer. Some were good. Most were sharp enough to make Theo cry quietly in a parking lot.He pressed the earpiece in his ear. “Bring the second vehicle in through the south access. Use garage three. Don’t go past the front yard.”I crossed my arms, then immediately regretted it when the pressure caught my injured palm. Pain shot all the way to my wrist.“I’m not finished talking.”“I know.”“And that doesn’t bother you?”“Usually, it’s entertaining.”My eyes narrowed.There was a small twitch at the corner of his mouth. Apparently, he still had the nerve to smile when someone had just tried to get into my house wearing Theo’s face.Very pretty. Very brave. Very close to death.Zach turned to the two men coming in through the side door. “Identification documents, work devices, the children’s medication, clothes for three days. Everything else stays where it is until forensics is finished.”I stepped in front o

Zach went silent for half a second. “I know.”One of Zach’s men pressed a knee into Daniel’s back. The other restrained both his hands.Daniel lifted his face toward the porch camera.Theo’s mask hung half-torn.Strange eyes stared out from inside my twin brother’s face.There are some things a person never gets to forget.The earpiece in Daniel’s ear made a sound.Small.Nearly swallowed by the rain.But the intercom was still active, and it caught a fragment through the static.“…status?”One word.Daniel stopped struggling.One of Zach’s men immediately ripped the earpiece out and crushed it beneath his boot.I was still holding the metal umbrella pole when the side door opened a few minutes later.I turned too fast.Zach came in through the side hallway.His hair was wet from the rain. His bomber jacket hung open, and his white T-shirt clung slightly to his chest from the water. His face was blank in the particular way men went blank when they were too angry to let the room know.
My Sister's Fiance Hot People Ruin Everything
And then... the blue eyes I’d once punched found mine across the crowd.Oh, good.Just fantastic.If the universe had a sense of humor, it was definitely drunk.I didn’t know who moved first. Maybe not him. Maybe not me. Maybe the room just suddenly felt too tight, too bright, too full of people wh
My Sister's Fiance Confetti, Cousins, and the Man I Punched
Five days in the Gómez house felt like being tossed into an industrial washing machine: spinning, loud, warm, and there was always someone shoving food at you even after you’d just said you were full.On day one, Mamá had already rearranged my entire schedule like I was back in eleventh grade and n
My Sister's Fiance It’s Just an Engagement Party (What Could Possibly Go Wrong?)
The second-floor workspace looks like a bored Pinterest board: neat white desk, bookshelves, two monitors. I’m in a fitted black blazer on top… alpaca-print pajama pants on the bottom.Out in the hallway, just beyond the half-closed door, the sound of running shakes the corridor.“SUPER MAX WILL SA
My Sister's Fiance Five Years After the Fire
Five years later.Oregon rain tapped softly against the kitchen’s glass wall. Steady, cold, and mildly annoying.The pan on the stove hissed quietly, the smell of almost-done corn arepas mixing with black coffee and the chorizo I was frying in the skillet next to it. A slow Latin playlist floated f
