One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy The Price of Loving You
The letter from Elena changed everything.Vienna carried it with her everywhere. She folded it carefully and tucked it into her journal, between the pages where she wrote about her father. She read it every night before bed, tracing the words with her finger, trying to make sense of the what ifs that haunted her.What if her father had lived long enough to accept the job offer? What if he had walked back into Vance Industries with his head held high? What if he had seen Ezra's face and forgiven him? What if he had been there to walk her down the aisle, to hold his grandchildren, to grow old and gray and happy? She would never know. The what ifs were a poison, slow and steady, seeping into her bones. She tried to fight them. She wrote about them in her journal. She talked to Ezra about them. She sat with Silas and remembered their father together. But the questions would not stop. Ezra noticed. Of course he noticed. He noticed everything about her. "You are pulling away," he said o
One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy Elena’s Offer
The email arrived on a Wednesday afternoon. Vienna was in her writing room, finally making progress on her manuscript, when her phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen. The sender was a name she had not seen in months. Elena Vance. Her blood ran cold. She opened the email. Her hands were shaking. Ms. Cross, I know you have no reason to trust me. I know I have done terrible things to you and your family. But I am asking you to hear me out. Just this once. I have information that could help you. Information about the board. Information about the cover-up. Information that was not included in the trial. If you want to know the truth, meet me at the café on 8th and Main. Tomorrow at 10 a.m. Come alone. Do not tell Ezra. I know you have every reason to say no. But I am asking you to say yes. Elena Vienna read the email three times. Her heart was pounding. Her hands were trembling. She should delete it. She should ignore it. She should never speak to Elena again. But something
One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy Marked and Remembered
The lawsuit was over. The board had been defeated. Elena was gone. Justice had been served for her father. Vienna should have felt free. She should have felt light. But instead, she felt restless. The kind of restless that made her skin itch and her mind race and her body crave something she could not name. She tried to write. She sat at her desk for hours, pen in hand, but the words would not come. She tried to read. She picked up book after book, but the stories blurred together. She tried to sleep. She lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, while Ezra slept beside her. Nothing worked. Ezra noticed. Of course he noticed. He noticed everything about her. "What is wrong?" he asked one evening, finding her on the balcony, staring out at the river. "Nothing." "Liar." She turned to look at him. "I do not know what is wrong. I just feel. Restless. Like something is missing." Ezra crossed the room and stood beside her. His hand found hers. "Maybe you need something," he said. "Like
One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy The Board’s Ultimatum
The letter arrived on a Monday morning. Vienna found it on the floor of the apartment, slipped under the door like the photographs had been. Her heart stopped when she saw the envelope. White. Plain. No return address. The same kind of envelope that had contained Elena's threats. She picked it up with trembling hands. Inside was a single sheet of paper. The letterhead was formal. Vance Industries Board of Directors. The message was cold and precise. Ms. Cross, It has come to our attention that you have been in a personal relationship with Ezra Vance, former CEO of Vance Industries, during his tenure at the company. While Mr. Vance has since resigned, the board has concerns about the nature of your relationship and its potential impact on the company's reputation. We are requesting that you attend a meeting with the board to discuss this matter. The meeting will be held on Thursday at 10 a.m. in the Vance Industries boardroom. Your presence is required. If you do not attend, we
One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy Silas’s Confession
The morning after the trial, Silas asked Vienna to walk with him. They went to the park near the river. The sun was bright. The air was cold. Silas moved slowly, his steps careful and deliberate. He was stronger than he had been in months, but he still tired easily. Vienna matched her pace to his. "Thank you for coming with me," he said. "Of course. I would do anything for you." He smiled. It was a thin smile, but it was real. "I know you would. That is why I need to talk to you." Vienna's heart tightened. "What is wrong?" "Nothing is wrong. I just need to tell you something. Something I should have told you a long time ago." They walked in silence for a while. The river sparkled beside them. The city hummed in the distance. "I have been thinking about Dad," Silas said finally. "About everything that happened. The trial. The verdict. The justice we finally got." "It is over now," Vienna said. "We can finally move on." Silas shook his head. "I do not think I can move on. Not
One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy On My Knees in the Dark
The night after the trial, Vienna could not sleep.She lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, while Ezra slept beside her. His arm was heavy across her waist. His breath was warm against her neck. He looked peaceful in a way she had not seen in months.But her mind would not stop racing.The verdicts. The confessions. The justice that had finally been served. It was over. It was finally over. But she did not feel the relief she had expected. She felt empty. Hollow. Like she had been holding her breath for fifteen years and did not know how to exhale. She slipped out of bed and walked to the living room. The city was dark. The river was black. The moon was hidden behind clouds. Vienna stood by the window and watched the world sleep. She heard footsteps behind her. Ezra appeared in the doorway. His hair was messy. His eyes were sleepy. He was wearing nothing but gray sweatpants. "Could not sleep?" he asked. "No." "Me neither." He crossed the room and stood beside her. His ha
One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy Bruises from the Past
The weeks after Elena's revelation were strange. Vienna moved through them like a ghost. She woke up. She made coffee. She sat in her writing room and stared at the blank page. She ate when Silas reminded her. She slept when Ezra held her. But she was not really there. Not all of her. Part of he
One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy The Ex-Wife’s Game
The restraining order was served on a Tuesday. Vienna watched from the window of the apartment as two uniformed officers approached Elena's car in the parking lot of her father's building. She could not see Elena's face from this distance, but she imagined the shock. The fury. The cold calculation
One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy The Collar
The leather was cool against Vienna's throat.Ezra stood over her, his masked face unreadable, his fingers working the buckle at the back of the collar. The strap sat snug against her skin, not tight enough to choke, just tight enough to remind her it was there. A small silver ring dangled at the f
One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy The Auction
The mask itched.Vienna Cross stood in the narrow back hallway of The Velvet Room, her bare shoulders pressed against cold concrete, and tried not to throw up.Six other women lined the wall beside her. Each wore the same thing: black lace lingerie, a silk robe, and a full face masquerade mask in m
