Off-Side Love With My Best Friend's Brother Chapter 83
WrenThe world dissolved into a chaotic blur of flashing red and blue lights as paramedics flooded the warehouse. Strong hands gripped my shoulders, forcefully pulling me away from Dani’s unmoving body. I fought them, screaming, kicking, my fingernails digging into the turnout gear of a medic who was only trying to do his job."Let me go! Dani! Please!" My voice was a shredded, unrecognizable rasp."Ma'am, you need to step back and let us work!" a paramedic yelled, pinning me back as two others dropped a trauma jump-kit beside Dani.They tore off the rest of his blood-soaked shirt. I watched, paralyzed by terror, as a female medic pressed a manual resuscitator bag over his mouth, while the other began heavy, rhythmic chest compressions. The sickening sound of his ribs flexing under the pressure made me vomit onto the gravel.Ross stood a few feet away, entirely frozen. He wasn’t looking at the medics. He was staring at the gaping wound in his brother’s chest. The blood pooling on the

WrenThe gunshot didn’t just break the darkness; it shattered the world.In the microsecond of strobing muzzle flashes that followed, the warehouse became a hellscape of sound. I was violently thrown to the concrete floor as a massive, heavy weight crashed over me, shielding my body entirely from the lethal spray of bullets whistling through the dark."Stay down!" a voice bellowed. It was Ross, his weapon barking from a secondary angle near the western crates.Two distinct, heavy thuds echoed through the room as Julian's henchmen dropped to the floor, their rifles clattering away. Through the chaos, the sharp, frantic revving of an engine exploded from the rear of the building. A pair of headlights cut through the darkness as a blacked-out SUV smashed through the weak wooden loading docks at the back, tires screeching as Julian fled into the rainy night.The small win. The ambush had failed. Julian had lost his leverage, his men were neutralized, and he had been forced to run like a r

WrenThe silence that followed the dial tone was suffocating. My hands were shaking so violently I dropped the phone onto the marble island, the glass screen clattering against the stone. Theo’s terrified, breathless voice echoed in my ears, repeating like a death sentence.“Wren? Wren, don’t come! Please, they—”"We have fifty-two minutes," Ross said, his voice instantly dropping into a terrifyingly cold, clinical register. The frantic detective was gone; in his place stood a tactical operator. He snatched his phone, typing furiously. "Ryan, I need the blueprints for the north pier shipyard. Now. Every entrance, every blind spot, every structural vulnerability.""On it," Ryan whispered, his fingers flying across his keyboard as code and satellite imagery began cascading down his screens.Dani hadn’t moved. He stood completely still, staring at the blank phone screen, his breathing shallow. The sheer wave of lethal fury radiating off him was palpable. When he finally looked up at Ross

WrenThe heavy silence of the private elevator ride back down to the penthouse was deafening. Dani’s hand remained firmly anchored on my hip, his grip a warm, solid reminder of the promise he had just made. He had drawn a line in the sand against Chloe, against his family’s elite circle, and against anyone else who dared to treat my safety like a minor inconvenience.But as the elevator doors slid open to reveal the penthouse, the bubble of our brief escape popped.Ross and Ryan were clustered around the marble kitchen island, which was now covered in tablet screens, police scanner feeds, and printed blueprints of our old house. The air in the room was thick with tension and the bitter scent of stale coffee.Ross looked up, his eyes dark and shadowed with exhaustion. He looked at Dani’s hand on my waist, his jaw tightening almost imperceptibly, before he forced his gaze up to my face."Miller’s arson team finished the preliminary sweep of the house," Ross said, his voice flat. "The e

WrenThe phantom smell of smoke and gasoline seemed to cling to my skin, even though we were twenty stories above the ground, sealed behind bulletproof glass. The news of the explosion at our old house had shattered what little composure I had left. I had spent hours pacing the cold marble floor of the penthouse, my mind playing a horrific loop of what would have happened if we had gone back for my things.We would have been ashes."Wren. Stop."Dani’s voice was a soft command from the doorway. He was fully dressed now in a casual, dark-knit sweater that made his shoulders look impossibly broad. In his hand, he was holding a large, woven wicker basket, and a plush cashmere blanket was draped over his forearm.I blinked at him, bewildered. "What is that?""A distraction," he said, walking over and gently taking my hand. His fingers were warm, grounding, and completely steady. "You've been vibrating like a tuning fork for three hours. We're going upstairs.""Dani, the house exploded—""

WrenIf jealousy was a color, I was currently a very loud, very ugly shade of fucked up neon green.I sat at the kitchen island of the ultra-modern penthouse, aggressively stabbing a fork into a bowl of fruit. Across the room, Dani was leaning against the counter, completely oblivious to my internal crisis. He was wearing nothing but grey sweatpants, his dark hair messy from sleep, looking so ridiculously handsome it felt like a personal insult."You're going to murder that melon, Wren," Dani observed, a faint, amused twitch at the corner of his lips."The melon knows what it did," I muttered, chewing viciously."Right." He poured himself a cup of coffee, his broad, bare shoulders flexing. "Are you going to tell me why you've been glaring at the toaster for the last ten minutes, or should I call a priest to exorcise it?""I am not glaring," I said, putting my chin in my hand and puffing my cheeks out. "I'm perfectly fine. Peaceful, even. Floating on a cloud of serenity."Dani slowly s

WRENI ran so fast I nearly broke the door down.The kitchen. I needed to get to the kitchen, find something to do with my hands, and blur my mind from the atrocity I had just watched…. Something I shouldn’t be watching or even have ever seen but the image had been buried in my mind and it wasn’t g

WRENThe ceiling of my dorm room had a crack in it shaped like a question mark. I'd spent the last three weeks staring at it. I had been on the list for a room change for a week. I kept staring at my phone, hoping for good news."Wren." Ross snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Are you even li

WREN “Damn you, Dani.” I turned around and literally sprinted to my room, my cheeks flustered. Did Dani just wink at me? I dropped my plate on the nightstand and plopped on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I slapped myself lightly wondering if this was a dream but from the slight sting I coul
