Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers CHAPTER 114 — THE COST OF STANDING STILL
Liana stayed longer than she had planned, not because Viktor asked her to, but because neither of them seemed able to find the right moment to let the conversation end, as if speaking meant keeping the fragile bridge between them intact and silence risked watching it collapse. The late afternoon light faded slowly, turning the room into a gradient of shadow and gold, and Viktor shifted carefully on the couch as the pain in his side grew sharper, though he never once mentioned it. She noticed anyway, of course she did, the way his breathing changed when he moved, the tension in his jaw when he tried to hide discomfort, and the quiet resignation in his eyes when he realized she had seen through him yet again.“You should lie down,” she said softly, for what felt like the tenth time.He exhaled, the corner of his mouth lifting in a faint, tired smile. “You sound like my doctor.”“I’ll take that as a compliment,” she replied, though her smile didn’t quite
Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers CHAPTER 113 — THE WEIGHT OF WHAT WE CHOOSE
The room seemed to contract around them the moment Viktor spoke, as if the walls themselves leaned in to listen, as if the air thickened with the kind of gravity that only existed when two people stood on the edge of a truth they could no longer avoid. Liana closed the door behind her gently, the soft click echoing louder than it should have, and for a heartbeat neither of them moved. Viktor remained seated, shoulders tense, one hand resting protectively over the bandages beneath his shirt, while she stood near the entrance with her coat still on, fingers curled tightly around the strap of her bag like it was the only thing anchoring her to the ground.She had imagined this moment on the drive over, had rehearsed dozens of versions of what she might say when she saw him again, but every prepared sentence evaporated the instant their eyes met. There was something different about him now—something stripped bare. The usual iron control that wrapped around him like armor w
Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers CHAPTER 112 — THE THINGS LEFT UNSAID
Liana had never been good at pretending everything was fine, yet somehow she had spent the entire morning doing exactly that—answering her brothers’ questions with half-truths, keeping her gaze lowered whenever Viktor’s name slipped into the conversation, and biting the inside of her cheek so hard she tasted blood every time her mind replayed the moment he whispered that he didn’t want to hurt her anymore. The house felt too loud, too crowded with the intensity of her brothers’ overprotective presence, and she kept moving from room to room as if she could outrun the heaviness growing inside her chest. Leo and Marcus argued in the kitchen about something she didn’t catch, probably something petty, but even that familiar noise felt distant, like her mind was wrapped in fog.She tried distracting herself—folding laundry she didn’t need to fold, organizing books that didn’t need organizing, cleaning the same corner three times—but nothing stopped her thoughts from circling back to Viktor
Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers CHAPTER 111 — WHEN THE WOLF WALKS INTO THE LION’S HOUSE
The Carver mansion was rarely quiet, but that night, the silence felt thick enough to swallow sound. Every corner seemed to hold its breath. Every shadow felt deeper than usual. Every small noise echoed through the halls like a warning.After the note was found in Liana’s room, her brothers moved with the tense coordination of men who were both furious and scared, even if none of them admitted it out loud. It was almost unsettling to watch — seeing the normally loud, chaotic Carver household turn into something sharp and vigilant. Something that reminded Liana that despite their teasing, their jokes, and their reckless outbursts, her brothers were wolves in their own right.And right now, they were hunting.Markus was downstairs securing the entrances. Elias was double-checking cameras. Luca was pacing with his phone pressed to his ear, whispering urgently to someone on the security team. Leo stayed glued to Liana’s side, shadowing every step she took through the house, refusing to le
Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers CHAPTER 110 — THE WAY THINGS SHIFT WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING
The drive back to the Carver mansion felt longer than usual, as if every street stretched itself to hold the weight of Liana’s thoughts. The sky was darkening with heavy clouds, the kind that warned of an evening storm. Beside her, Leo sat stiffly with his arms crossed, his protective energy filling the car like a wall between her and the world outside.She should have felt safe.But she didn’t feel anything close to safe.She felt watched.Not by Leo. Not by any of her brothers.But by Viktor.Even from the hospital bed, even pale and injured, his dark eyes had tracked her. Not possessively. Not like he owned her. But like he was memorizing her, committing every detail to some private place in his mind. As if he knew she wouldn’t be back anytime soon.As if he feared he was losing her.And Liana didn’t know what scared her more — that Viktor might be right… or that she didn’t want him to be.“Lian
Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers CHAPTER 109 — THE THINGS LEFT UNSAID
The quiet that settled after Leo’s departure didn’t bring relief; instead, it felt like an echo of everything he couldn’t say out loud, everything he had swallowed down in order to walk out of that room without shattering into pieces. Liana could still feel the ghost of that moment clinging to her, sitting somewhere behind her ribs like a weight she couldn’t quite shift. Viktor said nothing at first, which, in its own strange way, was a kind of comfort—because Viktor Moretti wasn’t the type to fill silence with unnecessary words, and sometimes silence was exactly what she needed.He remained beside her on the hospital bed, close enough that she could feel the steady warmth radiating from him, but not so close that he overwhelmed her breathing space. His eyes stayed on her, watching with a quiet intensity that might have unnerved her weeks ago, but now felt… grounding. Protective. Familiar.“You’re thinking too hard,” he finally murmured, his voice low and thre
