Aaron's POV

Ethan’s voice used to calm me.

Now it scraped down my spine like broken glass.

“He saved you?”

The question wasn’t just a question — it was an accusation, a demand, a wound ripped open. His eyes were hard, bright, shaking. I did that. I put that pain there.

And it killed me.

“What do you mean he saved you? Saved you from what? What the hell did you get yourself into that you needed saving?”

I swallowed.

God, of all the things I’d ever wanted, telling him this was last on the list. B

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    EPILOGUE

    Ethan's pov I took in one last sip of the wine bottle in my hand, my eyes still lingering on the line of seats where Aaron and my brother sat.I took in a deep breathe, I could do this. If one year of therapy had thought me anything was to face my problems head on, no regrets, no second doubts.So I stood up and made a beeline to where he was sitted, thankful for liquid courage.As I got closer I saw the smile on his face morph to shock and then he stood up to meet me half way. My heart's nearly popped out of my chest.He was so handsome.I had watched veery single YouTube video, every interview, every news broadcast of him while I was in new York, it made me feel closer to him even when I knew for a fact I couldn't approach him.Not when everything felt sour and difficult.I needed the time to my self.I was also extremely proud of him, the Phoenix? The best dang idea anyone in our century could think of. And this incredible man right here made it happen.“Hey” his voice sounded so

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    IT ENDS IN WEDDING BELLS

    Aaron’s POVI couldn’t control my excitement when I stepped into the private car I’d booked to take me to Connor’s family house, from the airport. The sucker was getting married. My best friend, I smiked befkre i could stop my self, I could call him that again, we were best friends. It's funny how life erases the pain and replaces it with so much positive memories it's like the bad never existed. I took in a deep breathe observing the beautiful Texas night sky as the driver turned into the street and soon pulling up in front of the house, I stared at the familiar building across from my childhood home.Memories flooded me—the laughter, the arguments, the late-night talks with Connor before everything happened and then all the fun conversations we had once we were able to bury the hatchet.I knocked on the door,Sandra swung the door open before I could knock again. Her face lit up.“Aaron! Oh my God, you’re here!”Connor’s house erupted in chaos the moment I stepped inside. Everyone

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    THE END OF A MISTAKE

    Ethan’s POVThe door swung open, and there he was. Alex. Standing in the doorway, eyes sharp, jaw tight, radiating that same controlled arrogance I’d spent nine months trying to navigate. My chest tightened instantly.“Ethan,” he said smoothly. “Your mom told me you wanted to see me.”I could barely contain my fury. “So… you knew.”Alex blinked, feigning confusion. “Knew what?”“You knew what my mom told you!” I shouted, voice cracking. “She explained everything. That I wasn’t ready, that I needed more time. And you—you just went ahead anyway! You didn’t call it off, didn’t even try to stop it. After what she told you”“I… I didn’t want to hurt you! I thought—”“Thought?!” I cut him off, gripping my temples because the migraine was pounding harder by the second. “You thought pretending we were married, making me quit my job, making me feel like my life, my choices, my happiness… none of it mattered… that that was okay?!”Alex’s lips pressed together. “You’re sick, Ethan. You’re not th

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    A PHOENIX RISING

    (Two days after the incident) Aaron’s POVThe soft hum of the television filled Cheryl’s house. I was lounging on the couch, , when the news anchor’s voice cut through the room, clear, precise, and tinged with gravity.“Breaking news,” the broadcaster began, eyes fixed on the camera. “David Benson, the New York billionaire and prominent business mogul, reportedly passed away two days ago in his penthouse due to a heart attack. Authorities have confirmed that Mr. Benson was found at his residence after reports of suspicious financial activities emerged.”Cheryl, Mandy, and Jasper were scattered around the living room, half-listening, half-sipping coffee. I had already told them about what happened, but I left the part where I might have discovered our solution to myself, that was the surprise. I barely blinked.“According to NYPD sources, officers responded to a call made by Mr. Benson himself, alleging fraudulent activities at his penthouse. Upon arrival, they discovered Aaron Warne

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    A CONFESSION OF RELIEF AND REGRET

    Ethan’s POVThe hospital room was quiet. Everyone else had left hours ago—or at least I assumed so. I didn’t know the time. I didn’t care. The fluorescent lights buzzed softly above me, and the faint antiseptic smell was so familiar I could almost forget the storm inside my head.My mom sat by my bed, knitting. I guessed it was a sweater, or maybe a scarf—I didn’t really pay attention to what she made, only the fact that she was here. Humming softly, as though the rhythm of her voice could push back the tension twisting in my chest. I needed to talk. Needed to tell someone. My stomach felt hollow, like everything inside me was giving up, like the stress of the last few months—Alex, the pituitary tumor, the mounting pressure, my mistakes—was all closing in. My head throbbed faintly; my vision blurred with every blink. Not as bad as before the hospital, but still… a reminderI cleared my throat, my voice shaky. “Mom…”She looked up instantly, her hands freezing in mid-stitch. Her eyes

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    THE VILLAINS FALL

    Aaron’s POVThe pounding on the front door shook the penthouse so violently that a thin layer of dust rained from the ceiling. It wasn’t gentle knocking anymore—it was full-force police ram fists.“NYPD! OPEN UP!”The two goons tightened their grip on my arms, yanking me upright as if they expected me to bolt. I wasn’t going anywhere—not with their fingers digging into my skin like iron hooks.I didn’t know whether to be relieved or terrified.Benson, however, looked fucking delighted.He lounged back in his pillows like a king awaiting his audience, breathing shallow, eyes gleaming with delusional triumph.Another set of thunderous blows rattled the door.“MR. DAVID BENSON! OPEN THE DOOR NOW!”ThenCRASH.Splintering wood. A door hitting the ground. Boots flooding into the penthouse like a wave of authority.My heart seized.Two officers stormed into the bedroom first, weapons drawn. My pulse prepared for the cold snap of cuffs around my wrists, my mind already whirling with the poss
