Liam's POV

My thumb hovered over the screen before l finally swiped to answer. “Hello, Mother.”

My voice was calm.

“Liam,” she purred through the line, sharp and smooth all at once. “Finally. I’ve been trying to reach you. Where have you been? Busy with work again, I suppose?”

“Just finishing up a few things,” l replied, leaning back in my chair. “l’m very stressed.”

Her laugh was light, almost teasing, but with an edge. “Always long days with you. I hope you’re keeping on top of everything.

  • TANGLED BETWEEN BROTHERS    One Hundred and Ninety-Two

    Third Person's POV The evening air was crisp, carrying the faint scent of blooming flowers from the nearby park. Streetlights flickered along the cobblestone path as Ethan and Zara walked side by side, the laughter and warmth from the dinner fading into a comfortable silence.Zara kicked a small pebble absentmindedly, her mind still buzzing from the events of the day. The glow of the streetlights reflected off her hair, making it look like molten gold, and Ethan couldn’t take his eyes off her. He’d been holding his feelings in for so long, always patient, always waiting for the right moment. And tonight… maybe tonight was it.Ethan cleared his throat, trying to keep his voice steady, though his heart pounded like a drum. “Zara… I… I wanted to tell you something,” he began, his hands stuffed deep into the pockets of his jacket.Zara glanced at him, her eyes curious, soft, and patient. “Yes?” she asked gently, slowing her pace to match his.He swallowed hard, the words catching in h

    Nicole's POV Seven months… Seven whole months of carrying this little life inside me, and here I was, about to finally graduate. My stomach was undeniably big now, a constant reminder of the tiny person growing inside, and every little kick made me smile and squirm in my seat. I looked down at it and laughed quietly, feeling Adrian’s hand slide across my lap, resting just above the curve of my belly. His touch was gentle, protective, and warm, the kind of touch that reminded me, even after everything we’d been through, that love could be calm and safe too.Leo and Liam died, Marianna and Mr Hargreaves was arrested, Marianna committed suicide after two months of imprisonment. The James company faced backlash for being a fraudster. While Adrian slowly rebuilt his own company.“Nicole! You’re staring at that belly like it’s about to sprout wings and fly away!” Zara laughed from across the table, her bright energy filling the room. She waved a forkful of salad around, pretending to

    Adrian’s POV.The moment Liam fell, the warehouse seemed to freeze.Marianna’s scream cut through the lingering gunfire like a blade. She ran to him, her heels clattering against the concrete, her hands shaking violently as she cradled his body. Blood gushed out faster than she could comprehend, soaking her hands, dripping down her arms.“Liam! No! My baby! My son!” she wailed, her voice ragged and hoarse. She pressed her face to his chest, desperate for a response, but his body lay limp, jerking faintly with the last remnants of life.“You shot your son.* Marianna cried out looking at Leo.Leo froze across the room, disbelief etched into every line of his face. “No… no, it’s not true,” he said, shaking his head violently. “It… it can’t be—”Frank’s cold voice cut through the tension like ice. “He’s your son, Leo,” he said, still in hiding.Leo’s face was drained of color. His manic grin faltered, his eyes widening as the truth hit him. He’d been deceived, and the revelation seemed

    The moment Loeo got distracted by one of his guards, I immediately sent the signal.We heard gun shots from outside and before anyone could say anything, bullets cracked through the air, ricocheting off metal beams and crates and the sharp stench of gunpowder burned my nostrils. I lunged toward Nicole, ignoring the pain in my ribs from the accident.. Each step was agonizing, every heartbeat hammering in my ears, but I couldn’t let her stay there helpless and exposed. My hands shook as I fumbled with the ropes cutting across her wrists. She flinched as another bullet hit the floor near us, making the concrete crack and splinter.“Adrian! Be careful!” Nicole hissed, her voice tight with fear, Frank was already in motion, he was able to pick up a gun for one of the people that got shot. He corked the gun, moving like a predator to cover us. I saw him shoot, duck, shoot again, all the while keeping an eye on the corners of the warehouse. He had this way of moving, calculating, keeping

    Adrian's POV “Here they come.” Leo screamed the moment we came.I stayed perfectly, eyes scanning every inch of the warehouse. Nicole was tied up, trembling slightly, but her defiance shone through her fear. My heart ached seeing her like this, but I had to remain calm. If I moved too soon, everything could explode—literally.Frank was next to me, eyes sharp, silently observing. Every twitch, every breath of Leo, Liam, and Marianna was noted. They had no idea we were analyzing, planning. That gave us an edge.Leo was pacing, voice sharp, commanding. “Frank… I want answers. You’ve been working with them all along? You, of all people?” His eyes were furious, wild, and I could feel the malice radiating from him.Frank’s voice was steady. “I don’t work for you. I never did. You killed my grandfather, Leo. You killed my mother indirectly. Do you know what that did to me? To my life? I will never forgive you.”Leo’s laugh was sharp, manic. “Your mother? She was collateral damage! You th

    Third Person's POV Leo leaned against the cold brick wall of the warehouse, his eyes sharp, scanning everywhere.His men lingered nearby, silent and alert, but he waved one forward, signaling him away from the others. He needed this conversation private,.Liam and Marianna couldn’t hear a word.“Closer,” he hissed under his breath, and the man obeyed, stepping toward him, careful to stay unseen.“Listen carefully,” Leo said, his voice low and dangerous. “No one goes back alive. You hear me? No mistakes. No one escapes this. Not Liam, not Marianna, not anyone else who dares stand against me.”The man swallowed hard, nodding quickly. “Yes, boss. I understand. But… are we going to wait for them to make a move first?”Leo’s eyes narrowed, a shadow of fury crossing his face. “No. We act on my orders. You wait for my signal, and then you move. You follow me, you do exactly what I say, or you’ll be next.”His words carried the weight of steel. The man’s hands trembled slightly, but he manag

    Nicole's POV The house felt too quiet when I stepped in. I close the door behind me slowly, my fingers lingering on the handle.“Why does the house seem empty?"I drop my bag on the console table and check my phone; no notification. Liam didn't message me or call me, and it's already late.“Don’t

    Adrian’s POV The office felt colder than usual. My laptop hummed quietly, documents open, deadlines looming. Yet my mind was elsewhere. I kept replaying the last encounter, the kitchen. Nicole’s scent still lingered in my memory, the way her hand had brushed against mine, the soft warmth of her

    Nicole’s POVThe notification buzzed in my hand, and I froze.“Hey, I’m swamped at work. Can you grab a cab and head home? Sorry, Nicole. I love you.”I stared at the screen, the words heavier than they should have been. Busy at work. Couldn’t come. I understood, I really did. But a small knot of d
