Elena’s Point Of View

The water ran over my fingers, cold and relentless, as I scrubbed the last plate clean. The kitchenette was too quiet, the kind of quiet that pressed against my skin, that made my pulse thrum in my ears. The scent of him, lingered in the air, clinging to every surface, every breath I took. My body still hummed from his touch, my lips still tingled from the ghost of his kiss, my skin still burned where his fingers had traced fire.

I turned off the faucet, my hands trembling

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 206~ The Baby Is Coming

    Graham's Point Of ViewThe air in my home office felt like it was made of lead, thick and suffocating, vibrating with the frantic hum of my own desperation. I sat hunched over my mahogany desk, the surface littered with spreadsheets that felt like a death warrant. Numbers… cruel, red, uncompromising numbers, stared back at me, each one a testament to my failures.I was trying to stitch together the bleeding wounds of the Sinclair empire, desperately hunting for an investor, a savior, anyone who hadn't heard that we were currently a sinking ship. My coffee had gone cold hours ago, a bitter film forming on its surface, but I couldn't bring myself to care. The door creaked open. I didn't need to look up to know who it was. The rhythmic, heavy gait, the soft sigh of expensive silk, it was Lillian. Even her footsteps sounded tentative now, as if she were approaching a wounded animal. "You've been in here all day, Graham," she said, her voice soft, almost melodic, as she walked in. She wa

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 205~ Do You Love Jaxx?

    Elena's Point Of ViewI sat there on the velvet cushions, the fabric feeling like sandpaper against my raw skin. Opening my eyes, I felt the salt from my tears making the bright office lights sting like a thousand tiny needles. Each blink brought fresh discomfort, but I couldn't look away from Lexy. Her question hung in the air like a thick, suffocating fog, demanding an answer I wasn't sure I could give. "Now that you say it..." I started, my voice cracking… a jagged sound in the silent room. The words caught in my throat, fighting against the truth I'd been avoiding. I furrowed my brows, trying to force my brain to work through the trauma, to piece together fragments that had never quite fit. My hands trembled in my lap, fingers twisting together in a desperate attempt to ground myself. "It's true. It doesn't make sense." I drew a shaky breath, feeling it rattle through my chest. "I mean, number one… the names, Lex. They don't even share the same last name. It's Graham Sinclair. A

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 204~ How Come Nobody Knew

    Elena's Point Of ViewThe cold marble floor of my office was the only thing keeping me grounded as my world performed a slow, sickening tilt. I sat there, huddled against the heavy oak door, my expensive silk blazer bunched up around my elbows as I sobbed into my sleeve. The fabric was already soaked, a damp, pathetic testament to my shattered composure. My throat burned with the kind of raw, jagged ache that only comes from screaming into your own palms, from trying to muffle the sound of your own breaking.With trembling fingers, I reached for my phone. The screen blurred through a thick veil of salt and mascara, the icons swimming like fish in murky water. I didn't even have to look for the contact, muscle memory guided my thumb. I dialed Lexy. She picked up on the very first ring, her voice bright and annoyingly cheerful, full of the kind of life I felt had just been violently sucked out of me."Hello, babe! God, finally! How was the big romantic getaway with Jaxx?" Lexy's voice

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 203~ You Actually Thought I Liked You, Elena?

    Elena's Point Of View When he asked me to the winter dance, I didn't just say yes… I felt like I'd been handed a key to a world I wasn't supposed to enter. A world where girls like me… quiet, studious, invisible could be seen. Could be wanted. Could matter to someone beyond test scores and class rankings. The night of the winter dance, I floated through the hours in a haze of anticipation. Every minute felt suspended in amber, precious and fragile. I wore my best dress, a deep blue number I'd found at a thrift store and altered myself, stitching hope into every seam. The fabric hugged my waist just right, and for once, I felt beautiful rather than merely acceptable. I waited for the moment I could finally tell him what had been building inside me for weeks… a confession that felt both terrifying and inevitable. As the music slowed and we stood in the center of the crowd, bodies swaying around us like a gentle tide, I gathered every ounce of courage I possessed. My heart hamm

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 202~ It's Exactly Like High School

    Elena's Point Of ViewThe cold of the marble floor finally seeped through my clothes, chilling my skin, but it was nothing compared to the absolute frost spreading through my chest. I sat there, knees pulled to my chin, staring at the shadows of my own office. My breath came in jagged, pathetic little hitches that echoed in the silence. Each inhale felt like swallowing broken glass. "It's just like before," I whispered to the empty room, my voice sounding like dry leaves skittering over pavement. "God, it's exactly like high school." The memory didn't just return; it lunged at me, vibrant and cruel, as if the last decade had been nothing but a commercial break. Suddenly, I wasn't the CEO of a thriving company. I was sixteen again. I was the girl with the thick glasses, the oversized blazer, and the scholarship that felt like a target painted on my back. That girl who believed hard work and good grades could protect her from anything. That girl who didn't yet know how badly the world

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 201~ I Slept With Two Brothers

    Elena's Point Of ViewMy voice dropped to a whisper on the last sentence, all the fight draining out of me, leaving only exhaustion and grief. The words felt final, like a door slamming shut on the best thing that had happened to me in years, but I couldn't see any other way forward. I turned to retreat, to put the vast expanse of my mahogany desk between us, needing physical distance to match the emotional chasm that had opened up. But I wasn't fast enough. Jaxx lunged, his movements a blur of terrifyingly precise speed. Before I could even gasp, his large hands clamped around my wrists. I struggled, trying to yank myself away from the heat of him, but he was a wall of muscle, immovable and overwhelming.With a swift, fluid motion, he spun me around, binding both of my wrists behind my back in a single, crushing grip. The position left me vulnerable, exposed, my body pressed against his in a way that made my pulse race for reasons I didn't want to examine. I should have been afraid,
