Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers CHAPTER 138 — WHEN RESTRAINT BREAKS
Restraint did not shatter the way violence did.It thinned.It stretched until it became translucent, until everyone involved could see through it clearly enough to understand that the only thing holding it in place was choice, not capability. Liana felt that thinning long before the first unmistakable sign appeared, the way one sensed pressure change before a storm finally broke.Serov had stopped pretending.The morning reports were not subtle anymore. They were still controlled, still measured, but the careful indirection was gone. Actions that once passed through three layers of deniability were now moving with only one, sometimes none at all. It wasn’t recklessness. It was irritation made operational.“He’s losing patience,” Viktor said as they stood over the table in the strategy room, the glow of projected data reflecting off his composed expression.“No,” Liana replied quietly. “He’s losing restraint.”
Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers CHAPTER 137 — THE COST OF DENIAL
Denial did not arrive like refusal.It arrived like friction.The kind that generated heat slowly, invisibly, until something either warped or broke under the pressure. Liana felt it in the hours after the decision—not as fear, not as doubt, but as the unmistakable awareness that Serov would not accept what she had done quietly.She hadn’t rejected his proposal.She had stripped it of its leverage.That was unforgivable.Morning unfolded with deceptive calm. The estate woke as it always did, staff moving with practiced efficiency, guards rotating shifts, systems humming beneath the surface. But beneath that routine, something had shifted, a subtle tightening of timelines and attention. Viktor’s people moved differently now—not urgently, but with sharpened purpose, as though every step carried intent beyond the immediate task.Liana joined Viktor in the strategy room just after sunrise. The walls were already alive w
Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers CHAPTER 136 — THE CHOICE HE WANTS
The message arrived without sound.No alarm. No urgency. No coded warning that something catastrophic had finally tipped the balance. It appeared quietly on a secure channel that had not been used in years, the kind of channel that existed only for moments when subtlety mattered more than speed.Liana read it once.Then again.Not because it was unclear, but because clarity carried weight.Serov had chosen his point.The message was simple in structure, carefully restrained in tone, and devastating in implication. There was no threat spelled out, no demand framed as coercion. Instead, it offered a scenario—a conditional future constructed with the precision of someone who understood how people made decisions under pressure.He was not asking for compliance.He was presenting a choice.Viktor found her in the study moments later, already sensing the shift before she spoke.“He moved,”
Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers CHAPTER 135 — PRESSURE POINTS
Pressure did not announce itself all at once.It accumulated.It seeped into the smallest seams of routine, into conversations that should have been harmless, into glances that lingered half a second longer than necessary, into the subtle awareness that every action now carried weight beyond its immediate intent. Liana felt it from the moment she woke, a quiet density in the air that told her the aftershocks had matured into something more deliberate.Pressure points were being tested.She moved through the estate with calm precision, greeting staff, acknowledging guards, allowing herself to be seen without performing reassurance. Visibility mattered now—not as spectacle, but as confirmation. She was still here. Still present. Still unmoved.By midmorning, the first fracture surfaced.Caden found her in the sunroom, tablet in hand, his expression carefully neutral in the way that usually meant the opposite.“On
Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers CHAPTER 134 — AFTERSHOCKS
Aftershocks never announced themselves with drama.They crept in through routine, through moments that should have been ordinary, through conversations that felt familiar until they weren’t. Liana understood this as she returned to the estate, the weight of the meeting still threaded through her awareness, not as anxiety but as residue. Something had moved. Not visibly, not violently—but permanently.The gates closed behind them with their usual muted authority, steel sliding into place with a sound she had heard a thousand times before. Yet today, it carried a different meaning. Not safety. Not confinement.Boundary.Viktor removed his coat as they entered the main hall, his movements unhurried, his composure intact, but she knew him well enough now to recognize the subtle signs of recalibration—the way his shoulders settled, the way his gaze tracked space rather than people, already anticipating adjustments that would need to be made.“You didn’t blink,” he said finally, breaking th
Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers CHAPTER 133 — SYMBOLIC GROUND
The place Liana chose was not neutral.That was the point.Neutral ground implied compromise before conversation even began, a quiet concession that both sides needed equal distance from their own power to speak honestly. Liana did not believe in that kind of honesty. She believed in clarity, and clarity came from context, from forcing truth to exist inside spaces that carried meaning whether the people inside them acknowledged it or not.The location was old—older than Viktor’s current empire, older than Serov’s rise, older even than the networks that now threaded through cities like invisible veins. A restored civic hall overlooking the river, once used for arbitration before power learned to hide itself behind corporate boards and private security. Its architecture was austere but deliberate: high ceilings, stone pillars, wide windows that let light in without offering concealment.No shadows to hide behind.No corners to ret
