TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend THERE'S LOVE AT HOME
Ethan’s POVThe lights of the airport seemed harsher than usual: too bright, too white, seeming to point out every crack in me. I kept my head down and moved through the crowd, hands buried deep in my pockets to stop them from shaking. My flight wasn't for another hour, but I couldn't sit. Couldn't breathe right. Couldn't think beyond the throbbing behind my ribs.TexasHome.I really was going back.I shouldn't have been nervous, but I was. My chest was tight the whole time I waited to board, and when the line finally started to move, my legs almost buckled. I clutched my backpack like it was the only solid thing left in my life.The plane was cold. Too cold. I pressed my forehead to the window as the city lights shrank beneath me. New York, the place that was to be my new beginning, had swallowed me whole instead.Hours had passed, yet I barely felt them. I dozed off and on, awakening with a jerk each time flashes of the last forty-eight hours attacked my mind: Aaron's confession, t
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend HOME
Ethan’s Pov I woke up with my skull pounding like someone was using it as a drum. My mouth tasted like regret and cheap liquor, and my eyelids felt glued shut. I groaned, pushing myself upright—well, trying to. My arms didn’t feel like they belonged to me.It took a full five seconds before I realized the ceiling above me wasn’t mine.Neither was the room mine.It wasn't my bed.And the breathing beside me certainly wasn’t mine.I froze.Slowly very, very slowly I turned my head.An unknown person laid beside me.Shirtless.Sleeping as if he had absolutely no shame in the world.My brain short-circuited.“WHAT THE—” I shoved him so hard he rolled straight off the bed with a loud thump.He groaned, rubbing his head, as he stood up. "Ow. Good morning to you too."“Alex?”“What are you doing here?!” My voice cracked. “What have you done?!”He blinked up at me, confused, but far too calm for the situation.“What I've done? I'm the one who saved your drunk ass last night.”I looked down
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend KNOW NO BETTER
Aaron’s POVI don’t remember how long I sat on the cold floor after Ethan ran out minutes, maybe hours—but the moment the front door slammed shut, something inside me collapsed with it. The house went unbearably still. A quiet so sharp it carved through my ribs and left everything raw, exposed, bleeding.He was gone.And this time, I knew he wasn’t coming back.My throat tightened, burning. I forced in a breath. A man’s breath. Controlled. Steady. But the tears betrayed me anyway, gathering hot at the corners of my eyes, slipping down before I could blink them away.I dragged a shaking hand over my face.“Get it together,” I whispered to the empty room. No one heard. No one needed to. I sounded pathetic enough without an audience.The guilt tasted metallic on my tongue. Ethan deserved better. He always had. From the moment I dragged him into this mess, I knew I wasn’t good enough for him. I knew someone like me—someone stitched together with lies and old sins—should have let him go be
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend NOTHING IS OKAY
Ethan's POVFor a long moment, I did not breathe.I didn’t blink.I didn't budge.I had just stared at Aaron.His face was pale, like he’d carved himself open and spilled every horrible, impossible, unbearable truth in front of me. The room felt small. Too small. The air was thick. My chest hurt. My throat felt tight.He killed Paul.He ran.He hid.He built a life atop a body in a lake.And Benson, Benson, the man whose shadow I’d been terrified of—was the one who cleaned it all up.My stomach flipped. My hands shook.The betrayal was too big to fit inside my ribs.Aaron’s voice was still in the air, trembling, apologizing, unraveling, but all I heard was the last part:“I’m so sorry, Ethan.”I opened my mouth.Nothing came out.My heartbeat was too loud. My breathing too sharp. My thoughts too broken to form words. I took one step back. Then another.Then my voice cracked out of me, raw and shaking:“I never want to see you again.”Aaron flinched like he’d been shot.Hurting him did
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend KINDNESS WITH A PRICE
Aaron’s POVI ran.I ran so fast my lungs burned and my legs felt like wet sand. The cold slapped my face as I bolted away from the lake, my heart thundering so loudly it drowned out the world. I didn’t look back. I couldn’t. The image of Paul slipping under the dark water was already tattooed behind my eyelids.I ran until my house came into view.My hands were trembling so hard I missed the doorknob twice before finally getting it open. The warm air of the living room hit me and for a second I thought I might pass out.I had done it.I had actually done it.He was gone, in the lake, not coming back.The nausea came instantly.Mum would be home in less than an hour.I dropped to my knees, my breath coming in short, sharp bursts as the weight of everything slammed into me. I didn’t have the luxury to break down right now. I didn’t have time.The kitchen.I forced myself to stand and move toward it. The sight hit me like a punch: the dark stains on the floor, the smears on the cabinet,
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend GLIMPSE INTO THE PAST 2
Aaron’s POV (Six Years Ago)Hatred.It wasn’t an emotion I felt often, not even toward people who deserved it — but in that moment, staring at Paul’s smirking, drunken face, hatred filled every part of me like poison twisting through my veins.He never deserved my mother.He never did right by her.He never understood her softness, her kindness, the way she loved wounded animals and broken people. She was a warm light in every room she entered — and somehow she ended up with him. This walking disgrace of a man.And now he was threatening the one thing in my life that actually meant something.Ethan.A guilty knot formed in my chest, getting heavier by the second.If he had told Ethan's family…If he told Connor…God. Connor.Connor would kill me. Literally kill me. He’d see me as some older guy feeding into his brother’s confusion, experimenting with him. And Ethan’s parents? They’d never look at me again. They’d think I corrupted their son. That I tricked him.And worst of all well,
