SUFFOCATING

NOELLE'S POV

The office felt suffocating.

I sat at my desk, staring at the blinking cursor on my screen for what felt like the hundredth time that morning. The proposal for the upcoming charity auction was due by end of day, but the words wouldn’t come. Every time I tried to type, my mind drifted back to Roman’s red-rimmed eyes in my doorway last night, the way he had stood there like touching me would destroy us both.

I hadn’t slept.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Sylvia’s face

    SUFFOCATINGNOELLE'S POVThe office felt suffocating.I sat at my desk, staring at the blinking cursor on my screen for what felt like the hundredth time that morning. The proposal for the upcoming charity auction was due by end of day, but the words wouldn’t come. Every time I tried to type, my mind drifted back to Roman’s red-rimmed eyes in my doorway last night, the way he had stood there like touching me would destroy us both.I hadn’t slept.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Sylvia’s face as she dropped the bomb about her affair with my father. I heard my dad’s voice demanding a DNA test. I felt Roman’s pain like it was my own.And the worst part? He was right here in the same building, but he might as well have been on another continent.I glanced toward the executive wing. His door was closed. He had been in meetings since seven a.m. and I knew because Berlina had casually mentioned it when she brought me coffee.He was avoiding me.Again.I forced myself to focus on the propo

    NOELLE'S POVThe office felt like a battlefield I could no longer navigate.I sat at my desk, staring at the same email for the past twenty minutes, the words blurring together. My eyes were still puffy from crying last night. Every time I blinked, I saw Roman’s red-rimmed eyes in my doorway, the way he had stood there like touching me would burn him.He hadn’t come to work today.Or maybe he had, but he was avoiding my floor completely.I checked my phone again. No new messages. The last one from him was still that cold, distant “We’ll talk when things calm down.”Things weren’t calming down. They were falling apart.Bria had texted me good morning with a heart emoji and a silly meme, trying to cheer me up. I hadn’t replied yet. I didn’t know what to say. “Hey, the guy I’m in love with might be my half-brother, and he’s ghosting me while pretending to be professional” didn’t fit in a text.I forced myself to focus on the wedding proposal I was supposed to finish. The words felt meani

    THE RELEASEDEREK'S POVDerek gripped the hips of the girl riding him, her moans echoing through the expensive hotel suite. She was stunning. She had long dark hair, full lips, perky breasts bouncing with every desperate roll of her hips. She was wet, tight, and eager, exactly the type he usually enjoyed breaking.But tonight, all he could see was Noelle.Every time the girl threw her head back and cried out “Yes, Derek!”, he imagined Noelle’s voice instead. The soft, breathy way she had sounded when he fucked her. He pictured Noelle’s warm brown skin glistening with sweat, her curly hair wild, her full breasts swaying as she rode him instead of this random girl.“Fuck… harder,” he growled, thrusting up brutally.The girl gasped, nails digging into his chest. She thought it was passion. Derek only saw Noelle’s face, those big, innocent eyes looking down at him with a mix of lust and trust he had never earned but desperately wanted.He flipped her onto her back, spreading her legs wide

    DANGEROUS POSSIBILITIESROMAN'S POVI couldn’t sleep.The penthouse was dark and silent, but my mind was loud. Screaming with every worst-case scenario. I lay on my back in the king-sized bed, staring at the ceiling, the city lights casting faint patterns across the room.Noelle’s face kept flashing in my head.The way she had looked at me when I told her I couldn’t touch her. The tears streaming down her cheeks as she sat on the floor. The quiet pain in her voice when she asked if we might be related.I turned onto my side, punching the pillow in frustration.I loved her.That love was the only real thing I had felt in years, and now it might be the most forbidden thing in my life.My mother’s words wouldn’t leave me.“A week before I married Declan… I slept with James Carter.”“The timing matches your birth.”If Noelle and I shared the same father…I sat up abruptly, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed. My chest felt tight, like I couldn’t breathe properly.I walked to the

    FALL APARTROMAN'S POVI sat in the back of the Maybach, staring out the tinted window as the city blurred past, but my mind was nowhere near the road.The visit to Liana earlier today had left a bitter taste in my mouth.She had been so happy, too happy. Her eyes had lit up the moment I walked into the visitation room, and she had thrown herself into my arms like no time had passed. She kept whispering that I had come back to her, that Noelle was just a fling, that we were going to be together again.I hadn’t corrected her.I couldn’t.Not when I was barely holding myself together.The DNA test results were still weeks away, but the possibility that Noelle might be my half-sister was slowly eating me alive. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her crying on the floor of her apartment, begging me to tell her it wasn’t true.And I had walked away.Because touching her now felt like the worst kind of sin.My phone buzzed in my lap. A message from Noelle.Noelle: Are you okay? You looked

    FALLING MANNOELLE'S POVI couldn’t stop crying.The moment I closed the apartment door behind me, the weight of everything crashed down like a wave I could no longer hold back. My legs gave out beneath me. I slid down the wall until I was sitting on the cold hardwood floor, knees pulled tightly to my chest, sobbing so hard my entire body shook.Everything hurts.The meeting with our parents replayed in my mind on an endless loop. Sylvia’s trembling confession about her one-night affair with my father a week before she married Declan Mathew, the stunned silence in the room, my father’s furious demand for a DNA test, and Roman’s shattered expression as the possibility that we might be half-siblings hung in the air like a death sentence.I pressed my forehead against my knees, tears soaking the fabric of my dress. My chest felt like it was being crushed. How could something so beautiful turn into something so ugly in the span of one conversation?Milo jumped onto my lap, meowing softly
