Ethan's POV

The migraine throbbed relentlessly as I drove home, each bump and turn a hammer against my skull. Lights blurred across my vision, streaks of red and yellow across the windshield. I tried to shake it off, tried to focus on something else, anything else, but my mind refused. Thoughts of Aaron gnawed at me, a bitter aftertaste I couldn’t wash away. He wouldn’t lie to me, not him. And yet… there was that nagging feeling, that uncomfortable sense that something was being held back. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but it was unmistakable and made me uneasy.

The wedding. In just a few days. It should've felt like a celebration, but all I felt was tension. Aaron and I were legally married.

Benson was up to something.And even though I thought getting married was enough he was suddenly demanding a high-profile, extravagant event before releasing anything to the company. What was he playing at? That one question alone made my stomach twist in knots. I'd been trying not to th

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    PIECE MYSELF TOGETHER

    Ethan's POVI walked back to my parents' house like a ghost wearing my skin.Everything seemed afar: trees, cars, the sky above me too wide and too blue, as if it didn't know how heavy my chest was. Starting from Jill's house, her tears and anger, that quiet and devastating truth about the money, there was a place inside me which got hollow. Not broken. Just. emptied out. Like a room stripped bare after a storm.My legs felt heavy, my steps automatic, by the time I reached the front door.Inside, the house was redolent with the faint scent of soap and old breakfast. It smelled familiar. Safe. And somehow, that made it worse.Mom was at the sink, clearing the last of the plates, her back to me. The sound of running water filled the space between us. She turned slightly when she heard me come in and offered me a small smile—tight around the edges, like it took effort to hold it together.“There you are,” she said in a soft voice.“Yeah,” I said.She nodded and turned back to the dishes

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    NO SON OF MINE

    Ethan’s POVI was still sitting on the floor outside Jill’s door when it opened.I didn't know how long I'd been there. Long enough that my legs had stopped working. Long enough that the house had fallen silent in a way that only grief can produce—where even the air inside the walls is heavy with quiet breathing. I hadn't gotten up because I didn't know where to go. Going seemed inappropriate. Trying to call again seemed mean.So, when the door finally came open, I jumped like a child who had been caught doing what he shouldn't be doing.Jill’s face was red-rimmed from crying, tears hanging on her eyelids as if refusing to fall. Her shoulders were hunched, as if she were preparing to withstand a gust of air that only she could sense. For a moment, she just looked at me. Then her face dissolved.“I don't get it,” she rasped. “I don't get any of this.”I felt my chest constrictShe stepped back, but I followed her inside without needing to be prompted. The air inside was thick with the

    Connor’s POVI couldn't remain there.The house seemed too small, too loud, full of all the lies that had been living inside my skin for six years before I even knew they were there. I closed the door behind me hard enough to make my mother call from upstairs, "Honey, don't slam that door," but I didn't look back. If I had, maybe I would have broken apart. Maybe I would have said something that I couldn't take back, that would find its way back to Ethan, back to my mother, back to Gil.Shoving the key into the ignition, my hands were shaking. An electric flame of rage coursed through my veins, and nothing else mattered. I sped on the road as if the highway owed me answers. Like I could drive fast enough that the answers would make sense.Aaron.Alive.“The word scraped my insides raw.”"I thought he was dead," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "We all thought he was dead." I had buried him a thousand times in my mind. I had loved him, hated him, mourned him, despised mysel

    Ethan's pov The silence in the dining room closed around my neck like a vise. They all looked at me as if waiting for me to say something rational—something normal. But there was nothing normal about what I needed to say.I swallowed hard.“Aaron, he’s aliveGil’s hand shot to her chest, her chair bumping against the floor. Gil's eyes widened, glinting with hope and terror. Connor paused in midsentence, a forkful of food in his mouth. Mom’s hands went to her mouth. Dad stopped reading, his paper falling to the floor.“What?” Connor asked first, voice cutting, as always when it came to discussing things that were delicate. “That—Ethan, that can’t possibly be. Don’t—don’t say things like that.”Gil spoke no words. She was fixed on me, her body motionless. A mother who’d lost a boy six years ago. A woman who’d suffered his loss, buried his memory, and waited for answers that never came. And now she sat before me, shaking with fear, in terror of breathing, in terror of blinking, in terro

    Ethan’s povLight streamed in from the curtains, warm and too bright. I blinked up at the ceiling, confused for a moment. I hadn’t planned on sleeping this long—heck, I hadn’t planned on sleeping, period. But my body must have known it was in for a long day of being wrung out from yesterday’s emotional overload. Honestly? I’d earned it. I’d cried, I’d ranted, I’d lost it in front of people who cared for me. That in itself would take a toll on anyone.I let out a long breath, running a hand over my face.I felt I had to tell them.Today."Get it over with."Another sigh, this time a bit heavier, left my body. I felt a little strange as I stood up from my bed, as if my legs were bearing all of the weight I still felt I had to say.So when I went downstairs, it was a loud house, a lively and chaotic house, in the very way I remembered. There was laughter, dishes, the television that someone hadn’t turned off in the living room. And then—“THERE he is!”Before I could react, I found myse

    Mandy’s POVI had a bad feeling. Heck, it was more than bad, it was a screaming in my chest, rattling my bones, And the fact that Ethan hasn't answered any of his calls made my worry only grow It was already the second day, and Ethan hadn’t shown up at work since. Well, since he’d found out that Aaron had canceled the wedding. Something was off. Something was very wrong. And I felt, deep down, that if I didn’t find out what was going on, it might be too late.Cheryl had practically gone rabid, because amidst all this drama, Warner industries was still flourishing and while the billionaire hid she handled everything, from emails to work meetings basically running the whole company. “I hope they're okay,” she kept muttering. Her responsibilities weighed on her like bricks "I'll go check on them."Her eyebrows shot up in surprise. “You… you’re going?I nodded. “Yeah. You’ve got work, Cheryl. I can go check up on them and make sure their okay and tell you anything I find out”.She
