Ethan's POV

The lights were dimmed, the room was redolent of popcorn and strawberries, and Mandy's living room was bathed in blue from the TV screen. Jennifer's Body was playing—the film she selected, not me. I didn't even protest.

It was fine to begin with. I'd only ever seen it years ago but hadn't remembered much. And then there was that scene—the one where Jennifer lures another lad into the woods with that deadpan face. Mandy and I both gasped so loudly the popcorn bowl slid over, spilling off her hands.

"Damn it!" she yelped, getting down to scoop the mess from the floor.

I barely registered. I had my eyes glued to the screen. "Hold on—why is she just killing boys?" I complained. "She's really just killing the guys. Why doesn't she kill girls too?"

Mandy leaned back forward, sliding her glasses up and giving me a knowing smirk. "Easy," she said, putting another kernel into her mouth. "Because boys are socially insane and emotionally unavailable. They're worth killing.".

    Connors pov I watched a series of emotions flash across his face. Anger, confusion and what I assumed was disgust all at the snap of a finger, and he was back to his computer.“Funny, how you show up to work today” No answer.The silence made my blood boil, but I was going to be calm and handle this like a mature adult that I was.After calling him several times again last night to no avail, I called Mandy to tell her what had happened, and she had demanded I go visit him today and work out our differences.So imagine my surprise when Ethan said he had seen him“Listen jack, I don't understand what you expected me to do. Give him a handshake? Thank him for hurting me? Hurting my family”I hated the way my voice still shook with emotion while he maintained a cool and level headed composure“I didn't expect you to do anything, Are you done?” He replied, his tone dismissive.That really got to me.Fuck being mature and communicating my feelings like an adult.“I'm the boss here and I c

    Aaron's pov “What was the date this incident took place?” Collin asked slowly, his eyes never leaving mine, while the other officer I couldn't name wrote all what I was saying down.The light bulb above us flickered and I swallowed tightly.“August 17th 2019”The officer jotting, nodded and scribbled it down before meeting my gaze again“And you said it was a case of self defense?” Collin continued I nodded.The look on his eyebrows didn't seem satisfied so I went on.“Yes, he was trying to hurt me it was just unfortunate i grabbed the knife first” I was so tired. My eyes felt like they were going to close involuntarily any moment from now.I don't even know how long it had been since I got here, but judging by the light slowly fading from the windows, I was guessing a pretty long time.“Mr Warner, tell me in exact details what transpired between you and mr Baxter”There was a bulge in my throat and no matter how much I swallowed it didn't go away.This was my life now.I was a po

    Jack's pov The phone buzzed again by my side but I muted it and flipped it over, I had nothing to say to him.Because what exactly do you tell someone who proved to suddenly be everything you were sure he wasn't?.Memories of that night flooded my mind.The way Aaron had bled and Connor wouldn't stop hitting him,And this all happened as a reaction to him being alive and living a life away from his family secretly.I felt so useless.He was so sure.So readyTo inflict so much pain on someone that had hurt him.Maybe calling him a hypocrite wasn't a great idea, but I felt so much negative emotion I didn't even know where to put them.Especially since I related more to the person being beat up than the person doing the beating—which so happened to be my friend and boss.I let out a loud sigh, getting up and making my way back to the bottle, I shouldn't have answered that call in the first place.I needed time to think, not get worked up all over again.It was past 1 for God sake and I

    Connor's pov I yawned for what seemed like the hundredth time but yet sleep was still far from me.Even though I was tired enough to take a full day off from work, Thanks to Ethan and he's impossible working hours.The thought of him brought another pull to my already aching heart, I hated it.But I was worried about him.I got up and grabbed my phone, searching for Mandy's number. It was practically routine now to call at the slight sense of discomfort, I dialed her number She picked up the third ring. “Connor what's up?” Her voice sounded sleepy and that sent a punch straight to my gut. I was an idiot.“Fuck, Mandy i didn't mean to wake you, go back to—go back to bed.” “No it's okay, I was going to wake up soon anyway” I could hear a yawn at the brink of her words.“I just couldn't sleep.” I say back to the phone, I really should let her go back to sleep but I needed her.I needed to hear her soothing voice.I needed to feel the comfort in her words.I needed not to think about

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    THERE WAS AN OFFER FOR YOU

    Ethan’s POVBy the time I finished with the spreadsheets, the sky outside my office window had gone dark. Not fully night yet, but that deep blue shade that told you the day had slipped away without asking for permission. My eyes burned, my shoulders ached, and my brain felt like it had been wrung dry.I realized I had fallen back into a familiar loop,I used in warner industries.Work until I was too tired to think.Work until my thoughts went quiet.It was the same thing I had done months ago. Bury myself in tasks so I would not feel. So I would not remember. So I would not ache.Alex had brought it all up earlier without meaning to. Innocent, casual, careless in the way people are when they do not know where your wounds are. And now my body buzzed with a restless need. A need to talk to Aaron. To know where he was. To know if he was okay.But I could not.I physically could not.The thought of hearing his voice hurt too much. My chest felt tight, my throat sore, my hands shaky. It h

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    NOT READY TO MINGLE

    Ethan’s POVI leaned back in my chair, staring at my laptop screen. It had been a week since I started at Connor’s company, and somehow, I had practically gotten used to everything here. The office was loud, chaotic in a strangely organized way, and every day brought a new kind of challenge. My phone buzzed, and a video call popped up. Mandy’s name lit up the screen.“Hey,” she said immediately, sounding frazzled. “Andrew and Jonathan have completely lost it. They’re on a rampage, I swear, bothering the hell out of me. I think they’ve gone full insane today.”I laughed, shaking my head. “Wow. Sounds like a nightmare. You holding up okay?”“Barely,” she muttered. “I don’t know how they can function like this. I’m just trying not to pull my hair out.”I grinned. “Yeah, I get that. How are you otherwise?”She rolled her eyes. “Fine, fine. But listen, Ethan… Aaron hasn't come back to work”I froze for a second, feeling my chest tighten.“So you haven't heard from him at all?” I add con
