SHATTERED RELIEF

ROMAN'S POV

I was drunk.

The whiskey burned like liquid fire down my throat, but it still wasn’t enough.

I sat on the floor of my penthouse, back against the cold glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, the nearly empty bottle of Macallan clutched loosely in my hand. The city lights below blurred into meaningless streaks of gold and white. Everything felt distant, like I was watching my own life through fogged glass.

Noelle had left with Derek.

The image refused to leave my mind.

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S DIRTY SECRET: A FORBIDDEN SECOND CHANCE   Chapter ninety-six

    BROKEN VOWSROMAN'S POVThe morning light felt different today.For the first time in months, I woke up with Noelle in my arms. Her body was warm and soft against mine, her curly hair spread across my chest, her breathing steady and peaceful. I held her closer, pressing a gentle kiss to the top of her head, letting myself feel the relief that had been missing for so long.We weren’t related.The DNA results had come back negative.We were free. Free to be together.I closed my eyes, savoring the moment. After all the fear, the guilt, the nights I had tortured myself imagining the worst. We could finally be together without shame.Bria had given me an earful this morning when she walked in on us. She had stood in the doorway, hands on her hips and her eyes blazing.“You absolute idiot,” she had snapped at me. “You pushed her away for days, let your crazy ex crawl all over you in the lobby, and now you show up drunk and expect her to just forgive you? If you hurt her again, I swear I’ll

    THE MORNING AFTERNOELLE'S POVMorning light filtered softly through the curtains, casting a warm glow over Roman’s bare back.We hadn’t spoken much since last night. After the desperate, emotional sex we had against the wall and on the couch, we had simply held each other, exhausted and raw, until we both fell asleep. No promises. No deep conversations. Just our bodies tangled together and our hearts still aching but clinging to each other.Now, Roman stirred beside me. His arm was draped heavily over my waist, his face buried in the crook of my neck. I felt his warm breath against my skin, steady at first, then deepening as he woke up.He didn’t say a word.And neither did I.His hand slowly slid down my side, tracing the curve of my hip with reverent fingers. I shivered under his touch. He pressed a soft, open-mouthed kiss to my neck, then another, trailing lower.I arched slightly, a quiet sigh escaping my lips.Roman shifted, moving down my body without breaking contact. His lip

    DESPERATE SALVATIONNOELLE'S POVThe knock on my door was loud and unsteady.I froze on the couch, the half-eaten tub of ice cream forgotten on the coffee table. Bria had left an hour ago after making me promise I wouldn’t do anything stupid.Another knock. Harder this time.I didn't know who it was.I walked to the door slowly, my heart pounding. When I looked through the peephole, my breath caught.Roman.He looked completely destroyed.His hair was messy, his eyes red-rimmed and bloodshot, shirt wrinkled and half-untucked. He swayed slightly on his feet, clearly drunk. When he saw the shadow move behind the peephole, he pressed his forehead against the door.“Noelle…” His voice was hoarse, broken. “Please. Open the door. I need you…please.”I hesitated for only a second before unlocking it.The moment the door opened, Roman stumbled forward, catching himself on the frame. His eyes locked on mine, raw and desperate.“I’m sorry,” he whispered immediately. “I’m so fucking sorry.”He s

    OLD WOUNDSSYLVIA & JAMES – PRIVATE MEETINGThe private garden terrace at the Ashford estate was quiet except for the soft rustle of leaves in the evening breeze. Sylvia had chosen this spot deliberately. It was away from the main house, away from prying eyes, away from Richard. Just the two of them and the weight of years of unspoken history.James Carter arrived exactly on time.He looked older than she remembered, but still carried that quiet strength that had once made her heart race. His suit was simple, his posture straight, but his eyes held the same guarded pain she had seen at the gala.Sylvia stood as he approached, smoothing down her cream silk blouse.“James,” she said softly. “Thank you for coming.”He nodded once, his jaw tight.“You said we needed to talk. So let’s talk.”They sat across from each other at the small wrought-iron table. A bottle of wine and two glasses waited, untouched. Neither of them reached for it.Sylvia took a slow breath.“I owe you an apology,” s

    HOPES AND BELIEVENOELLE'S POVI couldn’t stop crying.The sobs came in waves, raw and ugly, tearing from my chest like they were trying to rip me apart. I was curled up on the couch in my apartment, face buried in a pillow, body shaking so hard I could barely breathe. Milo was pressed against my chest, purring loudly as if trying to comfort me, his small warm body the only steady thing in my world right now.Bria sat on the floor beside the couch, rubbing slow circles on my back.“Shh, baby,” she whispered, voice soft but firm. “Breathe. Just breathe. I’m right here.”She had shown up twenty minutes after I called her, bursting through the door with a tub of cookie dough ice cream and two spoons and her cat. No questions at first. She had simply pulled me into a hug, let me cry on her shoulder, and then guided me to the couch.Now the ice cream sat melting on the coffee table, forgotten. I couldn’t eat. I could barely think.The photos kept flashing in my mind.Roman shirtless. Lia

    SHATTERED ROMAN'S POVThe pounding in my head was the first thing I noticed.Then the warmth beside me.I groaned, my mouth dry, eyes gritty, as I slowly regained consciousness. The room was dark, the city lights outside casting faint shadows across the ceiling. My body felt heavy, weighed down by too much whiskey and too little sleep.Something soft was pressed against my side.I turned my head slowly.Liana.She was curled up against me, her head resting on my bare chest, one leg thrown over mine. She was wearing nothing but a pair of black lace panties. Her skin was warm against mine, her breathing steady and content.My stomach dropped.I jerked upright so fast the room spun. Liana stirred, making a soft, sleepy sound as she reached for me again.“Roman…” she murmured, voice husky. “You’re awake.”I scrambled back, nearly falling off the bed, my heart hammering violently.“What the fuck, Liana?” My voice was hoarse, cracking with panic. “How did you get in here? What are you doi
