Off-Side Love With My Best Friend's Brother Chapter 89
WrenThe elevator ride down to the subterranean parking garage was dead silent.Five minutes. That was all Ryan said we had before Julian’s men breached the building.The air inside the elevator was thick and suffocating. Ross stood near the control panel, his hand resting on the grip of the pistol tucked into his jacket. Dani stood right beside me, his broad body positioned like a human shield between me and the doors.Every time the floor numbers ticked down—18, 17, 16—I could feel the heat radiating off Dani’s shoulder. An hour ago, I would have leaned into that heat. I would have taken comfort in his presence.Now, I took a small step back, pressing my shoulders flat against the cold metal wall of the elevator.Dani felt the movement. He didn't turn his head, but his jaw tightened, a sharp muscle flexing in his cheek. He knew why I was backing away. I wasn't scared of the men coming for us, I was putting distance between him and me and he knew it.Ding.The elevator doors slid ope

WrenChloe’s mouth snapped shut. Realizing that the mood in the room had turned entirely toxic and dangerous, she glared at both of them, turned around, and hurried back toward the bedroom to get her clothes. Within two minutes, she rushed past us toward the private elevator, her heels clicking loudly against the floor before the silver doors slid shut behind her.The silence she left behind was suffocating.Neither Ross nor Danny moved. They were still standing inches apart in the center of the kitchen."You think you're so noble, don't you?" Danny said, his voice dropping into a harsh, bitter whisper. "Taking Wren out for walks on the pier. Playing the sweet protector. You think I don't see what you're doing, Ross?"Ross didn't back down. His jaw was set like granite. "I'm doing what you failed to do. I'm keeping her safe. And I'm respecting her."Danny let out a dark, cruel laugh. "Respecting her? You're taking advantage of the fact that she's scared! You're using this whole mess t

WrenI didn’t cry. I refused to give him that power over me.Instead, I stood in the dark hallway outside Danny’s bedroom, my fists clenched so tightly that my fingernails cut into my palms. Through the slight crack in his door, Chloe’s breathless giggle sounded again. It was a soft, coy sound that made my stomach twist into a hard, painful knot. Then came the low, quiet rumble of Danny’s voice answering her.I turned around on my heel and walked silently down the hall to my room. I closed the door behind me, letting the lock click into place, and stood in the darkness with my back pressed against the wood.My heart was beating like a trapped bird inside my ribs. Anger, hurt, and a sharp, bitter jealousy burned through my chest all at once.Just a few hours ago, I had been standing on the windy pier with Ross. I had felt safe. I had let myself laugh, forgetting the danger, forgetting the threat hanging over my life. Ross had looked at me like I was the only person in the world, and he

WrenThe morning after Chloe’s visit, the atmosphere in the penthouse was suffocating. I spent two hours staring out the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the grey fog roll over the city, trying to convince myself that I was fine.I was not fine. But I was determined to pretend I was."Wren."I turned to find Ross standing near the kitchen counter. The harsh, dark shadow in his eyes from yesterday had softened, replaced by a quiet, determined warmth. He was wearing dark jeans and a plain black jacket, no tactical gear, no badge on his belt."You look like you're trapped in a cage," Ross said softly, offering a faint, genuine smile. "I'm taking a few hours off the clock. Detective Miller has extra units on the building perimeter. Come outside with me."Before I could answer, Dani walked out of his bedroom, pulling a fresh shirt over his broad shoulders. His eyes immediately flicked to me, then to Ross.Ross looked over at his brother. "We're going to get some fresh air. Head down to t

WrenThe penthouse felt less like a fortress and more like a pressure cooker waiting to blow.By mid-morning, the rain had stopped, leaving behind a dull, grey fog that blanketed the city skyline. Downstairs, security was on high alert, but inside the glass walls, the real threat wasn't an assassin, it was the toxic, suffocating silence hanging between us.I stood at the kitchen island, staring down at a mug of dark coffee I had no intention of drinking. My chest burned with a dull, hollow ache that had persisted ever since Dani and I agreed that the kiss in the warehouse was "pure adrenaline." A total accident of terror. A temporary lapse in sanity.I had asked for that boundary. I had practically built the wall myself. So why did I feel like I was choking on the rubble?"The precinct confirmed two of Julian’s men are in custody," Ross said, breaking the silence as he walked out of the private office.His voice was terrifyingly flat. I turned to look at him, expecting the sharp, hype

Wren"Out. Everyone out," Ross’s voice barked through the warehouse, cold as shattered ice.The paramedics didn't need to be told twice. They were already scrambling backward, their eyes wide with a mixture of terror and utter bewilderment as they packed up their unused defibrillator pads. A man who had just flatlined was now standing up, his chest completely unmarred except for a smear of drying, dark blood where a fatal wound had been seconds ago."Detective, we need to log this—" the lead medic started, his voice shaking."You logged a faulty monitor grid and a superficial flesh wound that looked worse due to the dark," Ross interrupted, stepping directly into the medic's space. His posture was imposing, his badge glinting under the harsh halogens. "You will sign the standard tactical non-disclosure agreements at the precinct, or I will personally ensure your medical licenses are reviewed for gross incompetence in the field. Am I clear?"They nodded frantically, grabbing their gear

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
