THE GLITTER OF HOPE

Gil’s POV

Hope is a dangerous thing.

I’d held on to it for a week—clutching it so tightly that it bruised the inside of my palms. Aaron’s trial was coming, and even though I tried not to let myself spiral, the reality settled in my chest like cement. He obstructed justice. Self-defense or not, he hid what he did. And because of that, no lawyer—not even the good ones—could fully argue his case the way it needed to be argued.

I should have been prepared. I should have known this was coming. But I wasn’t—because a part of me still believed that maybe, just maybe, he deserved a softer consequence after all the hell he’d already lived through.

After the hearing, he called me. Told me everything. Every detail. Every likely outcome.

And now Amelia wouldn’t stop saying his name around the house.

“Bobby? Bobby coming? Bobby home soon?”

She had been running around in circles for the past twenty minutes, her curls bouncing, her voice bright and unbothered—like she wasn’t teetering on the edge of

  • 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

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

    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

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

    Aaron’s POV(1 week later)The days had gone by quicker than I had time to register. Everything around me kept moving—evolving, shifting—while I stayed stuck in the exact same spot.Dead center.Motionless.Left behind.It almost made me laugh, the irony of it. How fast my life had plunged headfirst into quicksand, dragging me under from the moment I stepped foot in this place. And no one was coming to pull me out. My only hope was to drown completely… and maybe, if the universe allowed it, to be reborn.That was all I had left.The longer I stayed detained awaiting trial, the clearer it became—the weight of my charges, the reality that I was probably not going to see my company again… or Ethan… or anything that mattered until my late seventies.I was screwed.Even Williams knew it.I saw it in the way he smiled too gently, in the careful tone he used when he brought my morning coffee, like I was someone who needed to be handled softly.Pathetic.And then there was the amusement of it
