The morning after the reunion, Vienna woke to the sound of laughter.

It was a sound she had not heard in her home in years. The kind of laughter that came from deep in the belly, from a place of pure joy. She lay still for a moment, listening, trying to place it. Then she remembered. Her mother was here. Her mother was alive. Her mother was in the kitchen, making breakfast with Silas, and they were laughing together.

Vienna smiled. She slipped out of bed and walked to the kitchen.

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

    The morning after the book launch, Vienna woke with a sense of peace that had eluded her for years. She lay in bed for a long time, listening to the sounds of the city waking up outside her window. The distant hum of traffic. The gentle chirping of birds. The soft rhythm of Ezra's breathing beside her. 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 from the dead. A brother who was healthy and happy. A career that mattered. A legacy that would last. She turned her head on the pillow and looked at Ezra. He was still asleep, his dark hair tousled, his face relaxed in a way it rarely was during waking hours. He looked younger like this. Softer. She reached out and traced the line of his jaw with her fingertip. His eyes fluttered open. "Good morning, princess." "Good morning." "Did you sleep well?" "The best I have slept in years." Ezra pulled her closer and kissed her forehead. "I am glad." "Wha

    The morning after the reunion, Vienna woke to the sound of laughter. It was a sound she had not heard in her home in years. The kind of laughter that came from deep in the belly, from a place of pure joy. She lay still for a moment, listening, trying to place it. Then she remembered. Her mother was here. Her mother was alive. Her mother was in the kitchen, making breakfast with Silas, and they were laughing together. Vienna smiled. She slipped out of bed and walked to the kitchen. Her mother was at the stove, flipping pancakes. Silas was at the counter, cutting fruit. They were both covered in flour. They were both grinning. "Good morning," Vienna said. Her mother turned. Her face lit up. "Good morning, sweetheart. Did you sleep well?" "The best I have slept in years." Silas laughed. "That is because you finally stopped worrying about us." Vienna walked to the counter and stole a piece of fruit. "I will never stop worrying about you. That is my job." "Your job is to eat break

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy     The Reunion

    The house was small and white and surrounded by trees. Vienna stood on the porch, her hand raised to knock, her heart pounding so loud she was sure everyone inside could hear it. She had been standing here for what felt like an eternity, frozen in place, unable to move. The woman she had mourned for five years was on the other side of this door. The mother she had buried, cried over, and learned to live without was alive. She was real. She was here. Ezra stood behind her, his hand on the small of her back. "You can do this," he said softly. "I am right here." Vienna took a deep breath. She knocked. The door opened. Her mother stood in the doorway. She was older. Thinner. Her hair was gray, not the warm brown Vienna remembered from her childhood. Her face was lined with years of worry and grief. But her eyes were the same. Warm and loving and full of tears. "Vienna," she whispered. "Mom." They fell into each other's arms. "I am sorry," her mother sobbed. "I am so sorry. I nev

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    The Truth Comes Out

    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. "Elena is gone. She is not coming back." "I know." "Then why do you still look over your shoulder?" Vienna did not have an answer. --- The answer came on a Friday afternoon. Vienna was in the foundation office, reviewing grant applications, when her phone buzzed. The caller ID showed an unknown number. She almost ignored it. But something made her answer. "Ms. Cross?" A woman's voice. Professional. Calm. "This is Detective Miller from the police department. I am calling regarding the case of

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    The Secrets we Keep

    The weeks after the Nexus attack were quiet. Vienna had settled back into her routine. 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. But something was still nagging at her. It started small. A feeling in the back of her mind that something was not right. 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." "Liar." She turned to face him. "I do not know what is wrong. I just feel. Off. Like something is not right." Ezra crossed th

    The peace that followed the party was sweet. Vienna woke each morning with a smile on her face. She made coffee. She wrote. She spent time with her family. She laughed. She loved. She lived. 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, This is too good to last. She tried to ignore it. She told herself she was being paranoid. She told herself that she had earned this peace. She told herself that nothing could take it away. But the whisper would not stop. And then the threat came. --- It started with a phone call. Vienna was at the foundation, reviewing grant applications, when her phone buzzed. The caller ID showed Ezra's name. She answered with a smile. "Hey, handsome." "Vienna." His voice was strange. Tight. Strained. "I need you to come home." "What is wrong?" "I will explain when you get here. Just come home." The line went dead. Vienna stared at her phone. Her heart began to pound. So

    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

    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. Vienna's legs wrapped around his waist, her heels digging into his lower back, pulling him closer even as she cried out from the force of him. The collar press

    The floor was cold beneath Vienna's knees.She knelt in the center of the room, naked now except for the collar. The black lace was gone, tossed somewhere onto the floor. The silk ropes were coiled beside her on the bed, waiting. Ezra stood in front of her, still fully dressed, his charcoal mask hi
