Ethan's POV

Work felt strangely… normal today.

After everything that had happened in the last forty-eight chaotic hours — the near fire, the wedding-planning ambush, the constant hovering over Aaron’s injury — walking into the office felt like stepping into an alternate universe where life wasn’t insane.

But the universe corrected me straightaway.

“Ethan!” Mandi called out, she was practically running towards me the instant I walked in. “Please help me. Please. My whole department's possessed.”

I blinked slowly. “By…?”

"The printers are lagging," she whispered dramatically. "Lagging, Ethan. Every time I try to print something, the machine giggles like a demon child at a haunted daycare.

I needed a second.

“You mean—like hanging?” I asked.

She nodded, her eyes showing exhausted terror. “And the computers just restart themselves. One even deleted my weeks work and a

Logged me out.”

I pinched the bridge of my nose, as all I really wanted was a cup of coffee.

“Okay,” I sighed. “I’ll check

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    DESERVED TO DIE

    Mandy’s POVI could hardly breathe.When I saw the blood, my body reacted on its own accord.It was more than a dislike, and it never had been. Blood had a peculiar, primal effect on me. My stomach churned, churning hard enough to make the nausea turn a spin cycle in my mind. Cold beads of sweat formed on the lower half of my back and on the back of my neck, and the palms of both of my hands were slick. My vision began to constrict, as though the walls were closing in around me. It was a phenomenon that had occurred on several occasions before, andIt was so much of it.It splattered the wall, slicked the floor, and soaked into Aaron's clothes, making it impossible for me to see the original color. My ears were ringing. The air was heavy and metallic.I had to swallow hard to prevent myself from vomiting.Connor was cornered, like an animal in the corner, puffing for air, his chest heaving, his eyes wide and unfocused, like a mad dog that had finally been dissuaded from attacking

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    PAYBACK IS A BITCH

    Aaron's POVI should have seen this coming.This image weighed heavily on my mind long before any punch landed on my flesh. Inevitable and heavy, like the hand of fate catching up with me at long last, six years into my game of evasion. I didn’t know where Ethan was, but I didn’t have to. Connor’s presence told me all I needed to know.He knew.He knew Paul.He knew about all the deceits.“He knows there is a wedding, a Benson, a company, a way in which I have wrapped Ethan in half-truths and desperation, naming it love,” he said, his voice a low, monotone hum, a drumbeatHow could I blame Ethan for telling him? Ethan had sat in this house, had played the part of my fake fiancé, had grinned in photos, had tolerated whispers and persuasion and my silence. He had borne the weight of my secrets as though they were his transgressions.If anything, this—that whatever Connor had planned for me—was a shadow of what I deserved.Before the door had scarcely finished opening, the first punch ha

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    SOMETHING CHAOTIC AWAITS

    Mandy’s POVCheryl was smiling.This alone should have warned me.I moved closer to her with the boxes in my hand from rearranging my office earlier.She was standing in the middle of the hallway outside of her office, her head perfectly coiffed, her shoes clicking softly against the marble floor as if everything was just fine in the world. Which, given the current state of the company, the press, and the general disaster of Aaron and Ethan's engagement, was kind of insane."Morning,” I said, taking it a little slower. “What’s going on?”Her expression was like she’d been anxious to share some positive information. 'Oh, Ethan’s brother was just here.'I blinked. “What?”Cheryl adjusted the boxes in her arms. Connor— he had just left. He wanted to see Aaron,”There was relief in her face. Real relief. Like a weight had been lifted.My eyebrows furrowed so tightly they hurt. “Connor. was here?”“Yes,” she nodded. “And honestly? Thank God.”My stomach fell.Before I could pose another qu

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    OUTSIDE THE USUAL

    Connor’s POV Jack was able to get a two o'clock flight for me.He did it like it was no big deal, like it was just another favor between us, but his eyes kept flicking back and forth between my clenched fists and something told me he knew something was very wrong.“Fastest route I could get,” he said as we walked through the airport. “You’re welcome.”I didn't react.My head was buzzing. Not thoughts, noise. Rage. A low violent hum that thrummed beneath my skin that wouldn’t quit no matter how deeply I breathed. With each step toward the front of the room, it felt like I was being pulled by something ugly and ancient that had been lying in wait six years.Jack cleared his throat. “So, you want to tell me why you called me, sounding like you were getting ready to kill somebody?”I must have stopped walking and turned on him so abruptly that he nearly knocked into me.“Don’t,” I saidHe held out both hands. "Fine. Fine. But Connor, come on—this is not your typical radio silence."I beg

  • 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
