Elena's Point Of View

The air in the dressing room hummed with an electric charge. I stood frozen, staring at the stranger reflected in the mirror… a woman I barely recognized. My fingers trembled against the silk of the skirt when a shrill phone ring shattered the silence. Lexi's phone. She lunged for it, snatching the device off the table. Her eyes flicked to me for a heartbeat before she pressed it to her ear.

"Yeah? He's here?" The words tumbled out in that hushed, conspiratorial tone she

    Elena's Point Of ViewI felt the air leave my lungs in a sharp, jagged wheeze. My heart wasn't just beating; it was slamming against the cage of my ribs like a frantic bird. The heat crawling up my neck burned so intensely I was certain the diamonds around my throat would start glowing. I gasped, my eyes stretching wide as I stared at him… this utterly, completely, terrifyingly shameless man, in a state of pure, unadulterated shock. How could he do this to me? How could he make me feel so exposed, so vulnerable, so completely undone? "Are you actually insane, Jaxx?" The words finally tumbled out, sounding high-pitched even to my own ears. I didn't even recognize my own voice; it was thin, shaky, lacking every ounce of the "cool, independent woman" persona I'd been trying to project all morning. So much for maintaining my composure. Jaxx didn't even flinch. If anything, that dark, wicked shimmer in his eyes only grew more concentrated, swirling like a storm waiting for the right mom

    Elena's Point Of ViewThe air in the dressing room hummed with an electric charge. I stood frozen, staring at the stranger reflected in the mirror… a woman I barely recognized. My fingers trembled against the silk of the skirt when a shrill phone ring shattered the silence. Lexi's phone. She lunged for it, snatching the device off the table. Her eyes flicked to me for a heartbeat before she pressed it to her ear. "Yeah? He's here?" The words tumbled out in that hushed, conspiratorial tone she reserved for her schemes. A few more whispered exchanges followed—"Just give us a minute, keep him busy"—before she snapped the phone shut with a decisive click. She turned to face me, and a slow, dangerous grin spread across her features like wildfire. "There's someone waiting for you, Lena." My stomach executed a slow, sickening somersault. A wave of panic crashed over me. "Who? Lexi, if this is some kind of setup—" "Oh, just shut up and walk," she cut me off, punctuating her words with a w

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 173~ What The Hell Is He Doing?

    Elena's Point Of View"Twenty million dollars." For a second, I didn't hear anything after that. The number echoed in my head like something unreal, like she'd just told a joke and forgotten to laugh. My mind went blank, unable to process what she'd actually said. And before I even realized what I was doing… I choked. The juice in my mouth went down the wrong way, and I coughed hard, turning my head as I struggled to breathe. My eyes watered from the effort. "God… Elena!" Lexi rushed forward, grabbing a napkin. "Are you okay?" I waved her off, still coughing, my throat burning. "Twenty… what?!" My voice cracked halfway through, and I stared at her like she'd completely lost her mind. This had to be some kind of mistake. A misplaced decimal point. Something. She didn't even look guilty. Didn't even blink. "Twenty million dollars, baby," she repeated calmly. I stared at her, searching her face for any sign she was joking. "No." She nodded, completely serious. "Yes." "No, th

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 172~ Twenty Million Dollars

    Elena's Point Of View"Jaxx made me create something for you." For a moment, I didn't react. Not because I didn't hear her. But because my brain refused to process it. I just stared at her, my mouth slightly open, words trapped somewhere between my throat and my tongue. Waiting for her to laugh. To say she was joking. To take it back. But she didn't. She just stood there, arms folded, watching me like she was savoring every second of my confusion. There was a glint in her eye, the kind she got when she knew something I didn't. "Lexi…" My voice came out slower than I expected, careful and uncertain. "What did you just say?" She tilted her head slightly, as if repeating something obvious, her expression maddeningly calm. "I said Jaxx contacted me. Personally. Asked me to create something for you." I blinked. Once. Then again, trying to clear the fog from my thoughts. "What?" She laughed softly, a sound that held both amusement and something gentler underneath. "Oh, now you'r

    Elena's Point Of ViewThe next morning felt… strange. Light. Too light. Like something had shifted overnight and my body hadn't caught up with it yet.I stood in front of the mirror longer than necessary, adjusting the same strand of hair three different times before finally letting out a quiet breath. My reflection stared back at me with eyes that looked both exhausted and oddly hopeful… a combination I wasn't sure how to process."You're overthinking," I muttered to my reflection.It didn't argue. Of course it didn't. Because I was overthinking everything. The papers sitting on the nightstand. Jaxx and whatever this thing between us was becoming. Freedom… that word still didn't feel real in my head, like a foreign language I'd studied but never truly spoken.Free.I pressed my lips together, then shook my head and grabbed my bag, forcing myself to move before the spiral of thoughts could drag me under again."Okay. Enough."When I stepped outside, Jaxx was already waiting. He leane

    Elena's Point Of View"…is when I'm taking you," he murmured, his forehead almost touching mine, his breath warm against my lips, "with your legs wrapped around my waist." Everything in me went still. Not dramatic. Not exaggerated. Just… still. Like my brain had quietly decided to shut down for a second because it couldn't process what he had just said. The words hung in the air between us, heavy and deliberate, refusing to dissipate. I stared at him. Actually stared. My eyes searched his face for any sign he was joking, but found none. Because there was no way… No actual way, he just said that so casually, as if he'd commented on the weather rather than something that made heat crawl up my neck. My lips parted slightly, but nothing came out at first. My throat had gone dry. Then finally, "Jaxx…" My voice came out low. Almost cautious. Like I was testing whether speaking would make this moment more real or less. He didn't pull back. If anything, that smirk of his deepened just
