The lawyers were expensive.

Vienna sat in the corner of Ezra's office, watching him pace back and forth while two men in thousand dollar suits discussed legal strategy. She understood some of it. Harassment. Stalking. Invasion of privacy. Restraining orders. The words blurred together, heavy and serious.

Ezra's lawyer, a sharp-faced man named Harrison, set down his pen. "We have enough evidence for a restraining order, Mr. Vance. The photographs, the note, the payment trail. But a restraining o

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    The Private Investigator - Part One

    The morning after Silas's call, Vienna woke with a fragile hope blooming in her chest. She lay in bed for a long time, staring at the ceiling, replaying every word of their conversation in her mind. He had said he understood. He had said he would call again soon. He had said he loved her. She clung to those words like a lifeline, repeating them over and over until they felt real. Ezra stirred beside her. His arm tightened around her waist. "You are awake early." "I could not sleep." "Thinking about Silas?" "Yes." Ezra propped himself up on his elbow and looked at her. "He will call. He said he would." "I know. I just. I am scared." "Scared of what?" "That he will change his mind. That he will decide he cannot forgive me. That I will lose him forever." Ezra pulled her closer. "You are not going to lose him, Vienna. He loves you. He just needs time." Vienna pressed her face into his chest and breathed. Cedar and whiskey and something darker. The scent of safety. The scent of

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy     The Reconciliation

    The months after the party were the happiest of Vienna's life. She watched her family grow closer. Silas and Ezra became genuine friends. They went to lunch together. They worked on projects together. They talked about everything and nothing. The wall that had stood between them for fifteen years was gone. Completely. Irreversibly. Finally. Silas was a different man. He was confident. He was happy. He was whole. He had found a partner, a kind woman named Maria who worked at the foundation. They were planning a future together. They were talking about marriage. They were talking about children. Vienna watched her brother fall in love and felt her heart swell. Ezra was a different man too. He was lighter. Freer. He no longer carried the weight of Silas's anger. He no longer carried the guilt of the past. He was finally at peace. Vienna was happy. She woke up each morning and made coffee. She sat in her writing room and wrote. She spent afternoons at the foundation. She had dinner

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    The Aftermath

    The crisis was over. Nexus Technologies had been defeated. Vance Industries was safe. Silas had saved the company with his quick thinking and brilliant coding skills. He had proven himself to everyone, including himself. But the aftermath was complicated. Vienna watched her brother in the weeks that followed. He was different. Lighter. Freer. He carried himself with a confidence that she had not seen in years. He smiled more. He laughed more. He was present in a way he had not been in a long time. But there was still something unresolved. Silas had forgiven Ezra. He had accepted him. He had even started to love him like a brother. But he had not fully reconciled with him. There was still a distance between them. A gap that had not been closed. Vienna saw it every time they were in the same room. The way Silas would look at Ezra. The way Ezra would look at Silas. They were both trying. They were both making an effort. But there was still something missing. She did not know how to

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    The Rival

    The peace that followed Silas's forgiveness was sweet. Vienna watched her brother and her husband grow closer. They started having dinner together. They started watching games together. They started talking about things that mattered. The wall that had stood between them for fifteen years was finally crumbling. Silas was happier. He laughed more. He smiled more. He was present in a way he had not been in years. Ezra was happier too. He carried himself with a lightness that Vienna had not seen since the early days of their relationship. He no longer carried the weight of Silas's anger. He was free. Vienna was happy. She woke up each morning and made coffee. She sat in her writing room and wrote. She spent afternoons at the foundation. She had dinner with Ezra and Silas. She slept peacefully in Ezra's arms. Life was good. But the whisper was still there. It was quieter now. Softer. But it was still there. A voice in the back of her mind that said, This is too good to last. She

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy     The Reckoning

    The peace that followed the trial was fragile. Vienna had learned to carry her grief instead of letting it carry her. She had found ways to honor her father's memory. She had rebuilt her relationship with Silas. She had deepened her love for Ezra. She had healed. But something was still unresolved. Silas had forgiven Vienna. He had forgiven himself. He had even started to accept Ezra as part of their family. But he had not fully forgiven Ezra. Not yet. There was still a wall between them. A wall built from fifteen years of anger and pain and loss. Vienna saw it every time they were in the same room. The tension in Silas's shoulders. The careful way he chose his words. The distance he kept between himself and Ezra. He would talk to Ezra about work. About the foundation. About practical things. But he would not talk to him about anything personal. He would not look him in the eye for more than a few seconds. He would not stay in the same room with him for more than a few minutes. E

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy     The Weight of the Truth

    The weeks after the trial were supposed to be a relief. Vienna had expected to feel lighter. She had expected the weight that had been pressing on her chest for fifteen years to finally lift. She had expected to wake up one morning and feel free. But that was not what happened. Instead, she felt hollow. Empty. Like she had been fighting for so long that she did not know how to stop. The trial was over. The board was in prison. Justice had been served. But the grief was still there. The loss. The anger. The years of pain that could never be undone. She sat in her writing room, staring at the blank page, and tried to make sense of it. The words would not come. She had written about the auction. She had written about the collar. She had written about the trial and the justice and the years of fighting. But she had not written about this. The quiet aftermath. The hollow feeling. The emptiness that followed victory. What did you do when the battle was finally over? What did you do whe

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    The Collar

    The leather was cool against Vienna's throat.Ezra stood over her, his masked face unreadable, his fingers working the buckle at the back of the collar. The strap sat snug against her skin, not tight enough to choke, just tight enough to remind her it was there. A small silver ring dangled at the f

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    The Auction

    The mask itched.Vienna Cross stood in the narrow back hallway of The Velvet Room, her bare shoulders pressed against cold concrete, and tried not to throw up.Six other women lined the wall beside her. Each wore the same thing: black lace lingerie, a silk robe, and a full face masquerade mask in m

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    The Name I Never Knew

    Vienna dried off slowly, stretching each movement to delay the inevitable. As long as she stayed in this bathroom, wrapped in a thick white towel that smelled expensive, she did not have to walk out into the real world. She did not have to accept that the night was over.But the water had run cold

  • One Night With My Brother’s Worst Enemy    Bruised And Begging For More

    Ezra fucked her like he was trying to break her.Each thrust was deep and deliberate, pushing into her with a rhythm that stole her breath. Vienna's legs wrapped around his waist, her heels digging into his lower back, pulling him closer even as she cried out from the force of him. The collar press
