Elena's Point Of View

“You’ll burn.”

The words slid off his tongue like smoke, sultry and threatening. I felt it. I felt it in my bones, in the tremble of my knees, in the way my pulse suddenly throbbed in my throat. And yet, I pushed him away.

Hard.

“Don’t,” I said, my voice sharp, almost cracking. “Don’t come close.”

I needed to breathe. I needed space. I needed… God, I didn’t even know what I needed. Just not him. Not right now. Not this.

He raised an eyebrow, amused, unbothered as he steppe

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 306~ You Look So Tired, Princess

    Elena's Point Of View"Wait... really?" I blurted out, my voice cracking right in the middle as the SUV tore around another dark cliffside bend. "His grandfather is right here in Italy?!" "He flew in three days ago," Liam said, his eyes flicking to the rearview mirror as he checked on the second car carrying the rest of Jaxx's rescued men behind us. "The second Jaxx went dark and missed the check-in window, the old man boarded his private jet. He's been setting up a safehouse and mobilizing half of Europe's off-grid network ever since." I barely heard the end of his sentence because Jaxx let out a low, ragged groan in my lap. "Jaxx? Jaxx, hey, look at me," I pleaded, pressing my palm flat against the bloodied tear in his leather jacket, trying desperately to hold the pressure where his ribs were bruised and torn. My other hand tangled into his dark, messy hair, brushing wet strands away from his sweaty forehead. "Stay with me, okay? Don't you dare close your eyes. You hear me? We'r

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 305~ Boss Grandfather Is Here In Italy

    A/N: Hello loveliessss!! Rn, I'm currently hiding my face thinking of how to apologize, I've been down with a terrible flu for more than a week, and it was so bad, was hallucnating, so I was adviced to stay away from all screens. My apologies guys.Elena's Point Of ViewBANG! The sound didn't just fill the cellar; it tore straight through it, shattering the damp air like a sheet of ice under a sledgehammer. The sharp, acrid reek of burnt gunpowder instantly choked out the heavy smell of iron and dust, clinging to the back of my throat like ash. Time seemed to fracture into pieces too small to hold onto, each one sharp enough to cut. My arms vibrated up to my shoulders from the violent kickback, my hands clamped so hard around the cold metal grip that my knuckles turned entirely white.Gray smoke curled lazily from the tip of the dark steel barrel, drifting right through the yellow beam of the single hanging bulb above us. I couldn't feel my fingers anymore. I couldn't feel anything

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 304~ I Am Not Sharing You

    Elena's Point Of ViewA sharp, involuntary gasp tore out of my throat, my eyes widening into dinner plates as I stared at Graham's sickening smirk. Cold sweat slicked the back of my neck, and my pulse hammered so violently I could feel it in my ears.Every instinct in my body screamed at me to run, yet my legs had turned to stone beneath me, rooted to the damp floor as though the vault itself had reached up to hold me in place. My mind flailed for some escape route, some plan, but found only static, only the roaring silence of pure terror. "What... what do you mean by that, Graham?!" I stammered frantically, my heels digging uselessly into the damp concrete as I tried to press myself even flatter against the weeping limestone wall, as though the stone itself might swallow me whole and spare me from whatever came next.The chill radiating off the wall seeped through the thin fabric of my dress, but it was nothing compared to the ice spreading through my veins. I could smell the mildew

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 303~ You Think This Is A Game?

    Elena's Point Of View"Well, Elena? Answer me." Graham's fingers dug deeper into my cheekbone, the blunt tips of his knuckles pressing against bone until a dull ache radiated up toward my temple. His dark eyes searched my face with a sharp, clinical impatience, scanning every twitch of my mouth, every shudder of my lashes, desperate to find the familiar flicker of obedience he had spent years cultivating.That flicker had once come so easily to me… a reflex born of fear, drilled into my bones through countless nights of quiet threats and cold silences, through years of learning exactly which words would keep me safe and which would not. Tonight, it refused to surface. I didn't flinch. I didn't pull back. Instead, I tilted my chin upward, forcing my skin harder against his bruising grip. The trembling that had racked my limbs only seconds ago simply ceased, replaced by a sudden, terrifying stillness.Some distant part of me marveled at this new quiet, this unfamiliar steadiness sett

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 302~ I Love Jaxx

    Elena's Point Of View"Don't tell me..." Graham breathed, his voice barely audible now, terrifyingly cold, each word measured like a blade being drawn slowly from its sheath. "...you love him?" The words hung in the subterranean air like a poison mist, dense and suffocating, seeping into every crevice of the vault until I could taste them on my tongue. My entire body went rigid against the damp, weeping limestone wall.The violent thrashing, the desperate kicking, the clawing at the guards' iron wrists… it all stopped instantly. It was as if every drop of air had been sucked straight out of the vault, leaving only a dark, crushing vacuum behind, a silence so absolute it felt like the room itself was holding its breath alongside me.Even the guards seemed to sense it, their grips loosening fractionally, as though Graham's question had frozen everyone in the chamber into a single held moment. Somewhere in the shadows behind him, I heard one of them shift his weight, the leather of his

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 301~ The Illusion Of Victory

    Elena's Point Of ViewMy pulse thundered in my ears like a war drum, every drop of blood in my body turning to sheer, liquid ice. No. No, no, no. A sickening wave of nausea rolled over my stomach. The realization hit me like a physical blow, heavy and crushing. It had been too easy. The fork, the powder, the quiet hallway, the abandoned post… God, I had been so proud of myself down in the dark, thinking I had played him like a fool.But Graham wasn't a fool. He was a predator, and I had walked right into a cage he had built specifically for me. Every step of my supposed cleverness had been another thread in a web I hadn't even known I was weaving for myself. Before I could even process the horror curling in my gut, Jaxx moved. Despite his torn muscles, despite his cracked ribs that must have felt like shattered glass, he didn't hesitate. He grabbed my arm and shoved me gently but firmly behind his back, throwing his own beaten, bloodied frame directly between me and the open doorw

    Elena’s Point Of View“Tell him you’re done with his bullshit. To hell with him. And come to me. Do that…” his smirk was pure challenge now, “and I’ll give it to you.”For a moment, the world stopped. My ears roared, a violent rushing sound, as though blood itself rebelled against what I’d just hea
