Off-Side Love With My Best Friend's Brother Chapter 121
WrenI barely slept a wink that night.When Dr. Reeves dropped me off in front of our apartment building after the magnificent evening at his family’s private brownstone, my head was spinning with dreams of my future. I had met academic legends. I had been praised by editors I used to only read about in textbooks. Dr. Reeves had held my hand and told me that the sky was the limit.But as I walked up the dimly lit stairs to our front door, all the magic bled out of me, replaced by a cold, heavy knot of dread in my stomach.I expected the worst when I stepped inside. I prepared myself for Dani to be standing in the living room, waiting for me with dark, furious eyes. I expected him to yell, to slam his hands on the counter, and to demand to know where I had been and why I had turned my phone off. I had spent the entire car ride home rehearsing my arguments, building up my defenses so I wouldn't crumble when he called me names or accused Dr. Reeves of being a liar.Instead, the apartme

DaniThe cold brick wall felt freezing against my hands, but the blood rushing through my head was burning hot. I kept my grip tight on Ross’s jacket, my chest heaving up and down."Answer me, Ross!" I choked out, with tears of rage and confusion blurring my eyes. "Why are you doing this to us? Why were you spying on her? Why were you taking photos of her window?!"Ross didn't fight back. He didn't try to push my hands off him. He just leaned against the wall, staring down at me with a terrifyingly calm expression."I wasn't spying on her to hurt her, Dani," Ross said quietly. His voice didn't sound angry. It sounded hollow, like he was talking about the weather. "I was watching. I was measuring.""Measuring what?!" I screamed into his face. "You left the bar! You lied to me! You told me you were going to watch Blake, but you were lurking in the shadows outside our apartment!""I was at the bar," Ross replied smoothly, his dark eyes unwavering. "I kept my eye on Blake just like I prom

DaniI couldn't breathe.I stood on the icy rink at the campus arena, gripping my hockey stick so hard my knuckles were numb through my thick gloves. The coach’s whistle blew loudly, echoing off the high ceilings, but I barely heard it."Calloway! What the hell was that pass?!" Coach shouted from the sidelines. "Your head isn't in the game today! Get off the ice!"I didn't argue. I skated off the ice, ripped my helmet off, and slammed it against the bench.I couldn't focus. I couldn't skate. Every time I closed my eyes, all I saw was Wren’s hurt, angry face from this morning.A brute. She called me a brute.The words felt like a sharp dagger twisted right into my ribs. I loved her more than my own life. I would throw myself in front of a moving train for her. But she looked at Vance like he was a saint, and she looked at me like I was a monster."Something is wrong," I muttered to myself, tearing my skates off in the locker room. "Something is terribly wrong."My gut was screaming at

WrenHe guided me through a pair of double archways into a private, dimly lit reception lounge overlooking the inner courtyard. Soft jazz piano music hummed through hidden speakers. Scattered around plush velvet sofas and marble high-top tables were small groups of impeccably dressed men and women, sipping vintage wine from crystal flutes.I froze, clutching my handbag tightly. I recognized those faces."Dr. Reeves..." I gasped, my heart skipping a beat. "Is that... is that Evelyn Vance-Cross?!"Evelyn Vance-Cross was a living legend… the world-renowned literary critic whose essays I had cited in almost every major paper I had written in college."Indeed it is," Dr. Reeves smiled, resting his hand gently on the small of my back to guide me forward. "And beside her is Arthur Pendelton, the editor-in-chief of the National Literary Review, and Professor Marcus Sterling from Oxford."My head swam. These were academic titans. Literary royalty. Icons whose books sat on my nightstand, people

Wren"It's easier for him to attack my character than to admit he failed to protect you when you needed him most," Vance said smoothly, his voice dripping with gentle logic. "You mustn't let his emotional volatility drag you down, Wren. You have a brilliant future ahead of you."He leaned forward, his dark eyes shining with enthusiasm. "Which brings me to the fellowship. I want to accelerate your research proposal. My family owns a private historic brownstone downtown, it houses an extensive, private collection of rare 19th-century manuscripts that aren't open to the public. It would give your paper an unbeatable advantage.""A private estate library?" I asked, my eyes widening with interest. "Really?""Yes," Vance nodded smoothly. "I can take you there this evening. It will be quiet, peaceful, and entirely free from the noise and drama of the campus. We can review the texts and finalize your application draft in peace.""That sounds amazing, Professor," I said, a genuine smile breaki

Wren The morning sun poured through the kitchen window, but it did not bring any warmth into the apartment.I sat at the wooden dining table, cradling a mug of warm water. Purple and dark blue bruises were already forming around my wrists where Julian’s heavy gloved hands had clamped down on me the night before. Every time I moved my fingers, a dull ache shot up my arms.Across the room, Dani stood by the counter, brewing coffee. He was completely silent. He hadn't said a word to me since we woke up. His broad back was stiff, and his dark hair was messy.The heavy, suffocating tension from the night before was still hanging between us like a thick brick wall."Dani?" I murmured softly, breaking the silence. "Are you going to ignore me all day?"Dani poured the hot coffee into a mug. He turned around slowly, resting his hands on the edge of the counter. His dark eyes looked exhausted, surrounded by dark circles. He looked like he hadn't slept a single minute."I'm not ignoring you, Wr

WREN “Damn you, Dani.” I turned around and literally sprinted to my room, my cheeks flustered. Did Dani just wink at me? I dropped my plate on the nightstand and plopped on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I slapped myself lightly wondering if this was a dream but from the slight sting I coul

WRENI ran so fast I nearly broke the door down.The kitchen. I needed to get to the kitchen, find something to do with my hands, and blur my mind from the atrocity I had just watched…. Something I shouldn’t be watching or even have ever seen but the image had been buried in my mind and it wasn’t g

WRENThe ceiling of my dorm room had a crack in it shaped like a question mark. I'd spent the last three weeks staring at it. I had been on the list for a room change for a week. I kept staring at my phone, hoping for good news."Wren." Ross snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Are you even li
