The weeks after Elena's confession were quiet.

Too quiet.

Vienna woke each morning, made coffee, and waited for the other shoe to drop. She did not know why. Elena was gone. The threats had stopped. The notes had stopped. The fear should have stopped too.

But it had not.

She could not shake the feeling that something was still wrong. Something she was missing. Something lurking just beneath the surface, waiting to be discovered.

Ezra noticed her restlessness. He tried to reassure her. "Ele

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    The Beginning of the End

    The peace lasted exactly six months. Vienna had settled into a rhythm. She woke up each morning, made coffee, and worked on her next book. She spent afternoons at the foundation. She had dinner with Ezra and Silas. She slept peacefully in Ezra's arms. The fear that had haunted her for months was finally fading. She was happy. And then the call came. It was a Tuesday afternoon. Vienna was at the foundation, reviewing grant applications, when her phone buzzed. The caller ID showed Silas's name. She answered with a smile. "Hey, little brother. What's up?" "Vi." His voice was strange. Thin. Strained. "I need you to come home." Vienna's smile faded. "What's wrong?" "Just come home. Please." The line went dead. Vienna stared at her phone. Her heart began to pound. Something was wrong. She could feel it in her bones. She grabbed her purse and ran. --- The drive home was a blur. Vienna ran red lights. She sped through intersections. She ignored the honking horns and the shouted

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    The Legacy of Silas Cross

    The morning after the wedding, Vienna woke up with a sense of peace she had not felt in years. She lay in bed for a long time, just breathing. The sunlight streamed through the windows. The city hummed below. Ezra was asleep beside her, his arm heavy across her waist, his breath warm against her neck. She listened to the rhythm of his breathing and felt her heart swell. She had everything she had ever wanted. A husband who loved her. A daughter who was the light of her life. A mother who had come back to her. A career that mattered. A future that was bright. She was happy. But the whisper was still there. It was quieter now. Softer. But it was still there. A voice in the back of her mind that said, What next? She had spent so long surviving. Fighting. Building. Now that she had everything, she did not know what to do with it. She slipped out of bed and walked to the nursery. Baby Silas was awake. She was standing in her crib, holding onto the rail, babbling to herself. She loo

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    Say Yes,Princess

    The years passed like water. Vienna watched her daughter grow from a tiny, squalling infant into a curious, rambunctious toddler. Baby Silas took her first steps at eleven months. She spoke her first word at thirteen months. She was stubborn and bright and full of life. She was everything Vienna had ever hoped for. Ezra was a devoted father. He taught Silas how to swim. He read her bedtime stories. He took her to the park on weekends and pushed her on the swings. He was patient and kind and loving. He was everything Vienna had ever needed. Her mother was a doting grandmother. She spoiled Silas rotten. She baked cookies and knitted sweaters and told stories about Vienna's childhood. She was making up for lost time, and Vienna let her. The foundation thrived. The scholarship program expanded. Vienna's books continued to sell. She was successful and fulfilled and happy. But something was missing. She could not name it. It was not fear. Not anxiety. Not grief. It was something else.

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    The Ring in the Velvet Box

    Baby Silas was a joy. She was born with a full head of dark hair and lungs that could wake the entire city. She cried when she was hungry. She cried when she was tired. She cried when she wanted to be held. Vienna loved every single sound she made. Ezra was a natural father. He changed diapers. He gave bottles. He walked the floors at 3 a.m. when Silas could not sleep. He sang lullabies in his deep, rough voice, and Silas would stop crying and stare at him with wide, wonder-filled eyes. Vienna watched them together and felt her heart swell. She had lost her brother. But she had gained a daughter. And in her daughter's face, she saw Silas's spirit. In her daughter's smile, she saw Silas's joy. In her daughter's stubbornness, she saw Silas's determination. She was going to be okay. --- The first few months were exhausting. Vienna woke every two hours to feed the baby. She walked the floors with Silas on her shoulder, patting her back, singing softly. She changed diapers and gave

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    Silas’s Last Wish

    The pregnancy was a joy. Vienna glowed. Everyone said so. Her skin was radiant. Her hair was thick. Her smile was constant. She walked through the world like she was floating on a cloud. Ezra was overjoyed. He attended every doctor's appointment. He read every parenting book. He built the nursery himself, painting the walls a soft shade of yellow and assembling the crib with his own hands. Silas was thrilled. He talked to her belly every day, telling the baby stories about their family. He was going to be the best uncle. He was going to spoil the child rotten. Vienna's mother was ecstatic. She knitted blankets and sewed onesies and baked cookies. She was making up for lost time, and Vienna let her. Life was perfect. And then Silas got sick again. --- It started with a cough. A small cough. Nothing serious. Silas shrugged it off. "It is just a cold," he said. "I will be fine." But the cough did not go away. It got worse. Deeper. More persistent. Then came the fever. Then ca

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    Fucked and Forgotten

    Finding her mother changed everything. Vienna felt like a different person. Lighter. Freer. The weight that had been pressing on her chest for years was finally gone. She had her mother back. She had her brother back. She had Ezra. She had everything she had ever wanted. And yet, something was still missing. She could not name it. It was not fear. Not anxiety. Not grief. It was something else. Something quieter. Something that whispered in the back of her mind when she was alone. She tried to ignore it. She threw herself into her work. She spent long hours at the foundation. She answered emails until her eyes blurred. She planned events and wrote speeches and shook hands with donors. But the whisper would not stop. 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." "You are lying." She turned to face him. "I do not know what is wrong. I just feel. Restles

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    The Forty Fifth Floor

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    The Name I Never Knew

    Vienna dried off slowly, stretching each movement to delay the inevitable. As long as she stayed in this bathroom, wrapped in a thick white towel that smelled expensive, she did not have to walk out into the real world. She did not have to accept that the night was over.But the water had run cold

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    Bruised And Begging For More

    Ezra fucked her like he was trying to break her.Each thrust was deep and deliberate, pushing into her with a rhythm that stole her breath.
