CAL

We came back upstairs after the movie—the first fifteen minutes wasted on me trying to make sure the TV still worked properly. It wasn’t perfect, but good enough to make Sera laugh at the effort I put in.

Up in the room, she collapsed onto my bed. I was still by the door, taking off my hoodie and leaving only a thin T-shirt. The light was dim. A soft drizzle started outside the window.

“You cold? Want my hoodie?” I offered.

Sera stretched lazily, arms above her head, a small but satisfied s

  • The Heiress and the Four Brothers   110. That means it’s just us

    SERAThe rain had finally stopped, but the scent of wet earth still clung to the air. The headlights of Cal’s SUV washed over the stone path leading to the estate’s front door, turning every rain-soaked rock into a soft, trembling reflection of light.We walked side by side, and he held my hand the way he always did. Steady and careful, as if he was convinced I might slip at any moment. In his other hand, he carried my coat.At the door, Cal leaned toward the small panel by the frame. His fingertip touched the sensor, a soft click followed, and the large door unlocked with its gentle, familiar weight.I looked up at him, then asked quietly, “You’re really going to see Damon tonight?”“If I don’t do it now,

  • The Heiress and the Four Brothers   109. She was mine that night

    ACEFour days.Four days of an unsettling silence—one that even walls this thick couldn’t swallow.Sera tried to hide her restlessness behind polite smiles and casual conversations, as if her mind were stuck in a meeting room or a library somewhere. As if she thought I wouldn’t notice the way her eyes lingered just a second too long on every door, or how her head snapped up too quickly whenever an engine echoed in the courtyard. And the most obvious part: for four nights now, her bedroom had been empty.Because she was sleeping in Damon’s room.I knew without asking. The rhythm of her footsteps, the doors she left ajar, even the faint trace of her perfume lingering in the west wing corridor. She was waiting for Damon. And I

  • The Heiress and the Four Brothers   108. Let’s find somewhere warmer

    SERAI slipped into the car in a hurry, holding my breath as the cold night air mixed with the leftover mist in my hair. Cal closed the driver’s-side door and turned on the heater right away. The soft hum of the engine blended with the faint smell of rain clinging to our coats.“Take off your coat,” he said quietly. “It’ll warm you up faster.”I looked at him for a second before doing what he said. He shrugged off his own coat too, then leaned over the seat, reaching for a gray blanket in the back. With the kind of gentleness that always catches me off guard, he draped it around my shoulders, making sure every corner tucked neatly against my body.Before I could thank him, Cal took both of my hands and held them between his warm palms.

  • The Heiress and the Four Brothers   107. I lost the one person I never thought I’d lose

    CAL“It’s always like that, isn’t it? The higher you go, the quieter it gets.”I watched her for a few seconds. The night wind was starting to cut through my coat, but somehow it felt grounding instead of cold. I let out a slow breath, eyes lowering to the metal cup in my hands, now cooling fast.Sera was still staring at the view below, though I could feel her gaze drifting to me every now and then.“Sera,” I said at last.She turned toward me calmly, as if she’d been waiting for me to speak.“There’s a reason I brought you up here.”“Okay,” she murmured. “I’m listening.”I lowered my eyes, thumb brushing the rim of the cup. “I’ve been … seeing a therapist. For the last two years. Because I wasn’t well.”She didn’t look surprised. If anything, her expression softened like she’d been expecting me to say it.I let out a dry, crooked smile. “You already knew, didn’t you?”A small nod.“Who told you?”“No one,” she answered honestly. “I just … assumed. A few times, maybe.” A pause. “Are

  • The Heiress and the Four Brothers   106. You just have to start caring differently

    CAL“Stop trying to be the flawless hero. She doesn’t need that. She needs Callum. The man with scars, not the shadow with a shield.”“What am I supposed to do then?”“Let her see the cracks too. Not all at once, just enough so you’re not alone in there. You just have to start caring differently.”I remember staring at the floor when Dr. White said that. My hands clenched in my lap, trying to understand what those words even meant.Care differently. As if it were that simple.She didn’t know that every time I tried to pull away from Sera, my body felt as if it were losing its compass. And every time I got close—every time I looked directly into her eyes—everything I’d buried clawed its way back to the surface: the water, the screams, and the hand I couldn’t save.Two days after that session, I was here.The Blackwood Tower basement was quiet, lit only by the reflection of neon lights on concrete walls. I had just closed the small notebook on my lap when I saw her step out of the eleva

  • The Heiress and the Four Brothers   105. I paint better when you’re around

    SERAI woke up slowly, still half-dreaming, still wanting to stay adrift. For a few seconds, I couldn’t remember where I was. Then my eyes found something too beautiful to make sense of: Beck sitting on the floor, resting his chin on the edge of the couch, looking at me like he needed to make sure I was real.His hair was a mess, a smear of dry paint marked his neck, and a faint blue line streaked across his cheek. He looked like someone completely unaware of how distractingly beautiful he was—and maybe that was exactly what made him so.“Am I in heaven or something?” I mumbled, dazed.He let out a soft chuckle. “Pretty close.”I stretched lazily, noticing my laptop still open on the coffee table and a thin blanket draped over my legs. “What time is it?”“Almost sunset,” he said, brushing a thumb along my cheek. “You passed out in the middle of your world domination plan, by the way.”I groaned. “And you just let me sleep?”“You looked peaceful,” he said gently. His gaze lingered on m

  • The Heiress and the Four Brothers   83. You are ridiculously cute

    BECKOur hands were getting reckless. My jacket slipped from her shoulders. My hand found her back. Her dress was thin. Too thin. God, I could feel every line of her spine, the dip of her waist.Then her lips trailed along my jaw, her body pressed to mine, and I couldn’t take it anymore. I lifted h

    BECKWe kissed a lot tonight.In the parking lot, on the sidewalk, even while crossing the street at a red light—because, according to her, “the road was too empty to waste such a perfect chance.”And now I was driving us home. Hands were a little shaky. Breathing was not quite steady.She was wear

  • The Heiress and the Four Brothers   79. It means you admit you’re mine

    SERAThe late afternoon sun streamed through the tall curtains, casting a golden glow over the towering bookshelves lining the walls. In the middle of the room, Ace sat on a deep red sofa, looking annoyingly composed—shoulders relaxed, legs crossed, a book resting on his lap like it was just anothe

  • The Heiress and the Four Brothers   80. A soggy little kitten

    BECKI kept telling myself: don’t look at her. Don’t look at her. Don’t—Damn it. My eyes glanced anyway.Sera was sitting on the studio’s couch for broken hearts. Light blue knee-length dress slipping off one shoulder, and her slightly messy hair made her look human. Too human. Too real to forget.
