WHAT THE FUCK!

ROMAN'S POV

The day had already been hell.

I sat behind my desk, staring at the same contract for the fifth time without reading a single word. My mind was consumed by Noelle, the pain in her eyes yesterday, the way she had cried in front of me, and the crushing guilt that I was the one causing it.

I ignored it at first, but it kept going. When I finally glanced at the screen, my blood turned to ice.Liana: I’m in the lobby. Come down or I’ll come up. I need to see you, Roman. I’m here for you.Another message followed immediately.Liana: I’m wearing the red dress you love. Please don’t make me wait.I shot up from my chair, heart hammering. This couldn’t be happening. Not today. Not now.I grabbed my jacket and headed for the private elevator, jaw clenched so tight it ached. The ride down felt endless. When the doors open

    TOUCH DOWNLIANA'S POVThe moment the plane touched down at JFK Airport, Liana felt alive again.She stepped off the aircraft with her designer suitcase rolling behind her, wearing a soft cream coat and the perfume Roman had once told her he loved. Her heart was racing with pure, electric excitement. After months locked away in that sterile facility, she was finally free and she was here.In his city.Coming back to him.“Roman,” she whispered to herself as she moved through the arrivals hall, a dreamy smile on her lips. “I’m home.”She had spent the entire flight planning. She knew exactly where his penthouse was. She knew his favorite restaurants. She even knew the flowers he liked to send when he wanted to apologize. This time, she wouldn’t need flowers. She would be enough.She took a sleek black car service straight to a luxury hotel in Manhattan, not too far from Roman’s building. The room was elegant. It exactly the kind of place he would approve of. She unpacked carefully, han

    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
