Gil’s POV

(One week later)

I was really tired.

And not the kind of tired that sleep could just fix.

This was the kind of tired that lived in my bones,weighing me down like I’d been carrying too much for too long.

The week after Aaron’s sentencing had been a blur of routines I forced myself into. Breakfast, laundry, work, daycare pickups, drop-offs, bills, appointments, sleep. Then start over the next day.

Things that made me feel like a functioning human being instead of someone held together

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    LITTLE STEPS

    Gil’s POV(One week later)I was really tired.And not the kind of tired that sleep could just fix.This was the kind of tired that lived in my bones,weighing me down like I’d been carrying too much for too long.The week after Aaron’s sentencing had been a blur of routines I forced myself into. Breakfast, laundry, work, daycare pickups, drop-offs, bills, appointments, sleep. Then start over the next day.Things that made me feel like a functioning human being instead of someone held together by sheer willpower.But no matter how steady the world felt, nothing inside me felt steady at all.It still felt like something had been ripped open.I mourned him once already.Completely.Fully.With funerals and casseroles and sleepless nights and waiting by the phone for news that never came. With crying until my eyes ached. With the guilt of a mother who didn’t know how to keep living without her child.So I didn't understand why it was so hard for me, I should be used to it. He already gav

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

    Aaron’s POVI expected worse.That was the first thought that crossed my mind when the judge struck the gavel and the words two years imprisonment settled into the air like dust after an explosion.Two years.Not life.Not the grave I had already dug for myself in my head.One of the perks of having one of the best lawyers defend you I guess.Two years… I could do two years.Right?I didn’t know.My mind felt like a shattered mirror—pieces reflecting different emotions, none of them whole, none of them making any sense. Shock, relief, dread, disbelief… all swirling together in a storm that made it impossible for me to think straight.Before I had fully processed it, the bailiff had already stepped forward.“Warner, let’s move.”His voice was firm, emotionless. He gestured for me to stand.I did.Everything felt distant. Muffled. Like someone had stuffed cotton into my ears.The courtroom around me was dissolving—the whispers, the murmurs, the collective inhale of people trying to und

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    THE DEATH BEFORE REBIRTH III

    Ethan’s POVI told myself I didn’t care.I repeated it over and over in my head like a mantra that was supposed to numb me.It didn’t.Everything about this felt real.Way too real.The courtroom was cold, but my palms were sweating. My foot tapped restlessly against the marble floor.Alex sat beside me.I hadn’t wanted him here.I told him not to come.But he insisted—said he wasn’t letting me go through this alone.And when the bailiff called the room to order, he quietly reached for my hand.His fingers wrapped around mine, firm and grounding.Like he could feel how hard this was for me.It was strange.But comforting.Williams stood at the front, calm and collected, speaking with controlled gestures as he addressed the judge.The same Williams who had sat in Aaron’s living room months ago, arranging papers on Aaron’s glass table before officiating our fake marriage.I remembered that day so clearly it hurt.The blank expression on his face.The endless nights working on those impo

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    THE DEATH BEFORE REBIRTH II

    Aaron’s POVTwo weeks passed slower than any punishment I had ever lived through.Now it was the night before my official court case—the one that decided everything—and I felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff with my hands tied behind my back, staring into a bottomless drop.The burner phone felt too small in my hands, like it couldn’t possibly carry the weight of what I needed to say. I dialed Cheryl anyway. She picked up on the second ring.“Hello?” she whispered, voice soft. Probably hiding in a different room again.“It’s me,” I muttered. “Aaron.”“Oh—hey.” She exhaled, the kind of breath that sounded like it was held too long.“How are you holding up? It’s tomorrow…”I ran my hand down my face. “I don’t know. I don’t know how I feel. I don’t know what to expect. I just… I just want it to be over, Cheryl. My whole life has been one long panic attack for the last month. I just need tomorrow to come so I can finally breathe.”“Aaron…” she said softly.“I’m scared,” I admit

    Connor’s POVI had planned this for weeks.Weeks.Every detail. Every word I’d say.The roses, the lake, the timing, the drive, the stupid swans that cost me way more than they should’ve.It was supposed to be perfect.Because she was perfect.And now that she was coming to Texas for the weekend, everything lined up. I’d make the proposal as romantic as physically possible, and she—she wouldn’t walk away from me.The way I’d failed to walk away from her.It all made sense.She didn’t have a job in New York anymore—Aaron told us that himself.She didn’t have family there.She didn’t have roots keeping her chained to that city.I could give her a job.I could give her a life.I could keep her safe.But as she turned around, she looked me dead in the eyes, I swear I felt something inside me split.She stormed off the moment the words left my mouth, and now she was standing on the outskirts of the garden, shaking, furious, breathing like I’d done something unforgivable.“Mandy—wait.” I

  • TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend    PROPOSAL OR NOT

    Ethan’s POVThe drive to the airport was anything but quiet.Honestly, it was kind of awesome.Mandy rode shotgun, belting out Olivia Rodrigo at the top of her lungs, like she was auditioning for a musical that only cast manic gremlins running on caffeine and no sleep. Connor kept stealing glances at her like she was the only thing worth looking at.And me? I was slumped in the backseat, trying not to puke—half from the bumpy ride, mostly from watching those two act like they invented love.I mean, whatever. It was cute.I guess.At least I felt better than I had in days. My head didn’t feel like it was splitting open anymore, and even though Mom had me on unofficial “bed rest,” getting out of the house made me feel alive again. Just breathing real air felt good.Having Mandy around all week probably saved me. She took care of everything—laundry, food, even my spiraling thoughts. And she made it look easy.Still, I couldn’t stop my mind from drifting back to Alex. The day he stopped
