All Chapters of Kissed My Ex's Brother : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Elena's POVOne month flew by in a beautiful blur of penthouse mornings and Adrian's steady presence weaving security into every corner of my new life. He stayed buried in work constantly battling those Viktor remnants through late-night strategy calls and dock fires that lit up his burner phone but he always made time for me first pulling me into his lap during briefings or stealing hours just for us on the balcony wrapped in his arms watching city lights. College became a non-issue because Adrian handled everything upfront with the dean arranging special permissions for exam-only attendance while setting up private tutors and online classes right here in our home library everything streamed live from my university professors beamed directly to our secure setup. "No risks baby you learn everything you need right here where I can keep eyes on you always." He'd said kissing my forehead when I worried about falling behind his solution turning our guest room into a perfect study space

Adrian's POV "No Elena I can't give him blood." The words tore out of me raw and jagged as I stared into her wide green eyes that just kept getting bigger with pure disbelief while ER chaos exploded all around us. Her entire face crumpled in slow motion confusion twisting into absolute desperation as she grabbed my shirt with both hands her nails digging straight through the fabric into my chest. "Adrian why you're his brother your blood matches you're O-negative same type you have to save him he's dying right this second please you can't just let him die." Her voice cracked higher with every word tears pouring hot down her cheeks while doctors screamed urgent orders behind those swinging operating room doors. I grabbed her shoulders trying to steady her through the hysteria but she just shook violently fighting against my grip like a wild thing completely trapped. "Adrian please you're family you have to help him he's your little brother you always hated each othe

Elena's POV Victoria's venomous words sliced through me like acid as Adrian gripped my hand tight pulling me away from her furious glare and those hateful eyes burning holes in my back. "You shameless girl you'll pay dearly" kept echoing in my head over and over while we stumbled through ER doors into the cool night air my legs shaking so bad I could barely walk straight. The second we hit the parking lot away from her poison I completely broke down sobbing into Adrian's chest with gut-wrenching cries that made my whole body heave while hot tears soaked through his shirt. "Adrian please you have to save him do something anything I can't live with this guilt it's killing me he has to be okay his treatment just needs more time he can pull through." I begged clutching his jacket with desperate fists my voice raw and broken as snot and tears smeared across his clean shirt completely falling apart in the parking lot shadows. Every vicious word from Victoria hammered in my brain

Elena's POV I stumbled out of Alex's hospital room still shaking from Victoria's shrieking meltdown my hands trembling as I gripped the cold metal doorframe trying to steady my racing pulse while nurses hurried past whispering about the commotion. Marco waited outside leaning against the sterile wall his massive frame relaxed but eyes sharp scanning every corner like always when I waved him over voice barely steady. "Marco take me to Lila's place please I need my best friend right now just to breathe without all this weight crushing me." He nodded without question already pulling out his phone to reroute security while I followed him through endless buzzing corridors past beeping machines and worried families until fresh air hit my face in the parking garage. Months had passed since Lila and I last sat together laughing until our stomachs hurt before Adrian's world swallowed me whole the accident the threats the constant tension leaving no room for normalcy and god I missed h

Lila's POV Elena barely disappeared through the door wrapped up in Adrian's arms before I flopped back down onto my squishy couch, balancing the popcorn bowl carefully on my lap while the rom-com kept flickering away on the TV screen like absolutely nothing dramatic had just happened between those two. Her infectious laughter still echoed softly through the apartment, that warm glow lingering in the air even after their steamy little exit, so I scooped up another handful of those buttery kernels and munched away slowly, letting the familiar dialogue wash over me like comfort food for both my stomach and my soul after such a long time apart. These past months filled with Elena's nonstop chaos had left me really missing our nights like this, those essential bestie recharge sessions that always turned even the heaviest days into something manageable again, and tonight with all the bunny onesie madness had worked its magic perfectly right up until Adrian came and stole her away for h
