Jaxx’s Point Of View

I leaned in, lips curling at the corner of his ear, every word venom laced with mockery. “What are you going to do about it?”

That snapped him. His face flared red, fury twisting his features into something almost grotesque. His hands shook as his fists clenched at his sides, the vein in his neck pulsing so hard I thought it might burst.

“I will kill you!” he spat, his voice raw, ugly, more bark than bite.

I laughed. Dark. Cruel. The sound slashed through the night, echoing in the empty parking lot like a taunt from the devil himself. I leaned back just enough to meet his wide, furious eyes, and smirked deeper.

“You can try,” I said, my tone casual, conversational, as if we were discussing the weather. “Do your best, Graham. But make sure it hurts.” I tapped the ash off my cigarette, letting it fall between us like punctuation. “So when I retaliate, it’ll be sweeter.”

His face contorted, rage bubbling, almost frothing. His breath came in ragged pants as he growled

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 73⁓ You've Never Been Pregnant Before

    Elena’s Point Of ViewI closed my eyes for just a second, inhaling, trying to steady myself. “It’s… nothing,” I said finally, voice trembling but steadying, sharp and deliberate. “I’m just… wondering. How many years would it take for someone to be as stupid as you?”His eyebrows shot up, sharp and incredulous. “Really?”I opened my eyes, meeting his gaze without flinching. “Really,” I said, tilting my head, the faintest edge of challenge in my tone. “And if you don’t mind… I have to go. I need to see someone.”For the first time since he had appeared, he stepped back, just enough to let me move. His hands fell from my waist, but the warmth of them lingered on my skin like a phantom. He let a slow smirk curl his lips. “You know where to find me when you need me,” he said, voice low, almost a purr, and without another word, he turned and walked away, his presence leaving a vacuum that made the stairwell feel suddenly empty, colder, quieter, yet impossibly heavy with what had just happen

    Elena’s Point Of View“Who… who the hell are you?!” Lilian’s voice shredded the stairwell as if she’d finally remembered how to be loud.Jaxx’s eyes burned into Lilian. “You tried hurting my woman in front of me… and you have the nerve to ask who I am?”Shock froze Lilian in place. “Your… your woman?”I pressed my hand to Jaxx’s chest, stopping him. “It’s okay,” I whispered. “I can handle this.” I scrambled upright, shoving against Jaxx’s chest though my knees wobbled. Rage surged through me, hotter than fear. I yanked myself from his arms, spine stiff, and marched up the stairs with trembling legs.Halfway up, I turned. Lilian was still frozen at the top landing, her smugness cracked.“You think you’re untouchable because you’re carrying his child?” My voice shook but grew louder with each word. “You humiliated me in public, tried to kill me in private… do you think I won’t return the favor?”Her smirk faltered. I reached her, grabbed a fistful of her silky hair, yanking her head bac

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 71⁓ If I Pushed You Here... People Will Call It An Accident

    Elena’s Point Of ViewThe following week came with a weight I could feel deep in my bones. Every sunrise felt like a warning, that something was shifting, tightening around me, slowly.The Elites’ Gala.A night of glittering masks and sharper tongues. Power dressed in satin, lies wrapped in smiles. Everyone who mattered in this godforsaken town would be there, and I had to be too. My lawyer had chosen it for a reason. Too many eyes, too many people… the perfect place for a discreet exchange. And with Graham’s men shadowing me everywhere, it was the only way.Still, I hated it.Standing before the mirror, I barely recognized the woman staring back. My reflection was all sleek confidence and cold allure, not the trembling exhaustion I felt inside.The midnight-blue gown Lexy had given me glided over my skin like liquid sin. The slit climbed high up my thigh, bold and deliberate. The fabric shimmered under soft light, whispering secrets between heartbreak and defiance. My hair fell in lo

  • Tangled With The Other Brother   Chapter 70⁓ I Would Have Been Good To You

    Elena’s Point Of ViewThe drive felt like a runaway heartbeat. My hands clenched the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles went white, Lexy’s question hammering at the back of my skull like a drum I couldn’t silence.‘What do you want, Elena?’It should’ve been an easy question. Everyone should know what they want. Freedom. Safety. Love. Revenge. But my thoughts twisted in circles, a knot that wouldn’t untangle.The city blurred past me… shops, traffic lights, strangers walking dogs. None of it mattered. I didn’t even know where I was heading. All I knew was that every mile between me and that house made it easier to breathe.The ring on my finger glinted in the weak afternoon light. Graham’s ring. A band of gold that felt heavier than a shackle. I twisted it, pulled at it, even thought about flinging it out the window at one point. But my fingers wouldn’t let go. It was like my body and my mind were at war.“God…” I muttered under my breath, my eyes stinging. “I just want to be free.

    Elena’s Point Of ViewThe room was quiet except for the low hum of the AC and the faint thump of music from somewhere downstairs. My hands were twisted in my lap, nails digging into my palms so hard that little crescents marked my skin. I didn’t even realize I was holding my breath until Lexy’s fingers closed gently over mine.“Elena,” she said softly, like she was afraid I’d bolt. “Sit. Please.”I sank into the sofa, the cushions swallowing me whole. The fabric smelled faintly of vanilla and something floral, but all I could smell was him… Jaxx, like he’d branded the very air.Lexy sat down next to me, her knee brushing mine. She tilted her head, eyes warm but searching. “It’s really complicated, huh?”A bitter laugh slipped from me before I could stop it. “Complicated isn’t even the word.”Lexy squeezed my hand. “I’m here with you. No matter how complicated it is, I’ll be here to listen. You know that, right?”I nodded, but my throat was tight.Her gaze flicked over my face like she

    Elena’s Point Of ViewHis hand slid up, fingers threading into my hair at the base of my skull. His mouth hovered at my ear again, voice low, rougher than it had ever been. I could feel the hunger in it, the restraint snapping strand by strand.“Bambina,” he rasped, his breath hot against my skin, “how on earth am I supposed to be strict with you when every little thing you do right now gives me a hard-on, huh?!”And then he didn’t wait for me to answer.His lips crashed onto mine, hard, demanding, stealing the air straight from my lungs. The kiss was wild, all teeth and tongue and pent-up need, and before I could even gasp, his mouth was parting mine, claiming, tasting, devouring like he’d been starving and I was the only thing that could satisfy him.My knees nearly buckled. My hands, traitorous as ever, fisted into his shirt, yanking him closer even as my mind screamed no, no, no. But my body… oh God, my body had already betrayed me. My lips opened under his, matching his heat with
