“I just wanted us to be family again,” she whispered.

“We were never a family,” he replied. “We were a performance. The moment I stepped out of my role, the curtain dropped.”

Silence settled between them.

The wind carried the echo of city noise up from the street below, cars, a distant siren, the mechanical hum of life moving forward while theirs cracked at the edges.

“I don’t want to lose you,” Serena whispered.

“You already did,” Asher said gently. “But I forgive you.”

Her lips quivered. “You do?”

“Yes. Because I know what fear can do to people. I lived in it long enough.”

“But you’re not afraid now.”

“No.” A breath. “Not anymore.”

The call ended softly. No goodbyes. No dramatics.

Just a click, and a silence that Serena would sit in for hours, trying to understand the shape of the man her brother had become.

He was no longer the shadow clinging to corners.

Asher, Kieran Wolfe, had become the storm.

And now, she had to choose whether to keep running from it... or stand in its path.

  • The Wrong Kind Of Right   Chapter 107

    “Honey, we trust you to make those calls. Just be safe.” Her mother’s voice softened. “You’re not getting dragged into all this... drama, are you?”“No.” Not in the way you’re thinking.Viv swallowed.There was so much she wanted to say. That she loved Serena. That she had for years. That the woman her mother still called ‘that tragic Hartwell girl’ was the one person who made her feel like the world wasn’t hollow.That they were leaving because it was the only way Serena could breathe without suffocating under the weight of two dynasties trying to own her.But now wasn’t the time.“I’ll be fine,” she said instead. “Promise.”“We just want you happy, baby,” her mother said, and for a moment, that almost broke Vivienne. Because this, this was what she feared the most.That the truth would make them stop saying that.“I am,” she whispered. “I really am.”They exchanged goodbyes, and Viv stared at the call log long after the screen dimmed.There was love. And then there was protection.A

    She padded into the drawing room, where her father and Margot sat with glasses of wine, their faces tense but resolute. The headlines scrolled across the muted television screen behind them.“Luca Virelli and Kieran Wolfe: Billionaire Romance or Corporate Scandal?”“Virelli CEO Faces Backlash After Bold Press Conference.”“Hartwell Family Responds to Brother’s Publicized Relationship with Virelli.”Her father didn’t look up as she entered, but Margot’s icy gaze pinned her in place.“Well?” Margot said, swirling her wine glass. “Did he threaten you too, or just us?”Serena flinched. “You saw what he said?”“Of course we saw,” her father snapped. “The world saw. And you’ve done nothing to fix it.”“Fix it?” Serena repeated, incredulous. “You want me to fix what? The lies you let the press run with? The way you painted Asher as some.. some unhinged disgrace to save your precious image?”Her father’s expression darkened. “Watch your tone, Serena. Don’t forget your place.”“My place?” she

    The world was too loud, but the phone was too quiet.Luca sat on the edge of the leather couch in his penthouse, suit jacket discarded, shirt wrinkled, sleeves rolled up, tie slack at his neck. His hand hadn’t left the phone in over an hour. Not since the message.Not since he told Asher he was there. That he saw him. That he cared.But there was still no reply.No typing bubble. No voicemail. No call.Just… silence.And the sound of the world chewing on Asher’s name like meat.He’d thought the worst was behind them. That the hardest part was surviving the press conference, the boardroom, the backlash.But this?This was different.They weren’t coming after him anymore.They were coming for Asher.The Hartwells had delivered a masterstroke of cruelty. Carefully composed, sterilized for the public, and yet vicious enough to destroy a man.They called him unrecognizable.They called him shameful.They called him not family.And Serena’s name was there, scrawled in digital ink beside it.

    Asher’s face was everywhere, grainy freeze frames from the gala, moments of him shielding Luca, mouth curled in a scowl, blood on his temple. Angled like a threat. Like a monster stepping out of shadow.Even his military record, once redacted and respected, was now under fire.Anonymous sources surfaced. Former squadmates came forward. One podcast claimed he was once removed from duty for emotional instability.Another whispered about a classified breakdown on a mission. No evidence. Just speculation. But it spread like wildfire.Every war Asher had fought, overseas, in his family, inside himself, was now public domain.There were hate videos.Reaction clips.Fan edits turning him into a villain.His firm’s website temporarily crashed under the traffic. Journalists stalked its listed headquarters, cameras ready for blood.The pressure cooked hotter with every refresh.And through it all, not one word from the Hartwells to him directly.No call.No text.Not even a warning.It was cold

    The room was quiet, save for the rhythmic whirl of the ceiling fan and the distant hum of the city pressing against the windows.Somewhere between kisses and the slow stripping away of armor, they’d moved to the small bedroom behind the lounge, a tucked away space meant for VIPs or overindulgent nights. Tonight, it held the weight of something far more fragile.They lay tangled in sheets, chest to chest, legs entwined.Luca on his back, one arm behind his head. Asher curled partially against him, fingers trailing lazily across Luca’s bare shoulder.It wasn’t sex that filled the silence now it was something quieter.Something more terrifying.Intimacy.The kind that comes after everything’s already been said with mouths and hands.“I didn’t think this would ever happen,” Luca murmured into the dark, voice hoarse. “Not after everything.”Asher exhaled, a short breath against his skin. “Neither did I.”They stayed quiet for a moment. Luca’s fingers brushed down Asher’s spine in a slow, a
