SEDUCING MY ELDER BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND EIGHTY THREE
BENJAMIN’S POV The penthouse felt less like a home and more like an observation deck for the end of the world. The double doors clicked shut behind Leo and Jane, the sound of the latch engaging like a tombstone falling into place. I didn't move. No, I couldn't. My legs were too heavy to move. I stood in the center of the parlor, my hands balled into fists at my sides, the blood from my jaw slowly drying into the stiff, white fabric of my shirt. The room was still. The air was heavy with the mechanical hum of the wall sensors. I knew the Syndicate monitors were peaking, analyzing my heart rate, my facial micro-expressions, every spike in my cortisol. "You did it darling," Victoria whispered, stepping out from the shadows of the sofa. She didn't offer a drink. She didn't offer comfort. She walked toward me, her eyes tracking the blood on my lip with a predatory satisfaction. "You finally broke the leverage, Benjamin. You’re back. This is my Benjamin" I didn't turn toward her. I st

LEO’S POV The vibration of the Greyhound bus’s diesel engine rumbled through the floorboards, a low rattle that felt like a drill grinding straight into my skull. Outside the scratched plexiglass window, the neon exit signs of the New Jersey turnpike blurred into long streaks of bleeding crimson against the midnight sleet. I didn't look at the road. My fingers were frozen over the mechanical casing of my portable monitor, tapping out terminal commands into an encrypted local partition. My knuckles were still raw, the skin split and stained with a thin crust of dried crimson. Every time I looked at the blood on my hand, my chest tightened until my lungs burned. The image of the penthouse suite burned behind my eyelids like a hot iron. Benjamin hadn't looked like a hostage executing a grim sacrifice. He had looked like a king who had happily returned to his throne, his shirt unbuttoned, his frame relaxed while the snake who shattered our lives crawled over his lap. He had lie

Jane’s POV The freezing Manhattan rain hit my face like shattered glass the moment I burst through the building’s side exit door. I stumbled into the dark alleyway, my wet sneakers skidding against the slick pavement as the door slammed shut behind me, cutting off the golden glare of the penthouse grid. I didn't stop running. I flew down the concrete corridor, the freezing downpour instantly soaking through my oversized sweater, plastering the wet wool against my ribs. The words parasite and cheap slut were screaming through my skull, repeating in Benjamin's cold tone until my ears throbbed with a physical ache. My chest heaved in ragged gasps. The independent runaway who had scrubbed grease traps in North Carolina to buy her freedom was gone. The girl who thought she could survive in the dirt without his ledger was dead. I had let my guard down, and my pride had been slaughtered in front of the woman he called his rightful owner. The embarrassment was evident, I wished I neve
SEDUCING MY ELDER BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND EIGHTY
Jane’s POV The off-grid service elevator groaned as it rose through the core of the Vance Group tower, the mechanical hum vibrating straight through the rubber soles of my sneakers. Manhattan outside the glass shaft was a vertical maze of freezing sleet and neon static, completely indifferent to the panic clawing at my throat. Leo stood beside me, his jaw locked, his right hand buried inside his jacket pocket where his fingers tightly gripped a heavy iron wrench he had pulled from the SUV’s glove compartment. He hadn't spoken since we breached the basement loading bay using Silas’s cash to slide past the night guard. Ding. The metal doors slid open, exposing the private penthouse vestibule. The air up here smelled of expensive citrus, polished marble, and power. It was dead quiet, save for the low, rhythmic patter of the rain hitting the massive glass dome overhead. The double glass doors leading into the main residential suite were partially unlatched, a narrow wedge of w

Jane’s POV Twenty_one days inside the Westchester mansion bled into one another like oil separating in cold water. Every morning, before the winter sun could clear the jagged pine trees on the northern perimeter, I woke up with my hand reaching across the silk mattress, searching for a chest that wasn't there. The faint scent of cedar and copper was slowly dissolving from the linen, replaced by a freezing, sterile draft that leaked through the panoramic glass panels. I spent my hours tracking the vacant corridors, my oversized sweater pulled tightly over my stomach, my fingers perpetually buried inside my pockets to clutch the cardboard edge of my composition notebook. I was fighting my own blood every single second. My mind was a chaotic loop of friction, constantly bouncing between the soft heat of his touch against my skin under the bathroom steam and the clinical cruelty of his voice calling me a cheap slut. He will come back, I whispered to the dark cedar walls of the rec

Victoria’s POV The backstage holding lounge of the Grand Plaza Hotel was a space of red velvet, polished brass, and the distant, thunderous rumble of the New York media press line gathering outside the double doors. I stood by the full-length mirror, smoothing the lapels of my tailored emerald dress, my eyes drilling into the reflection of the mahogany bar behind me. A heavy crystal tumbler filled with single-malt whiskey sat on the wood. The media schedule was locked, and the anchors were already broadcasting the live countdown to the global market. The Williams-Vance empire was about to be officially reunited in front of the world. The heavy oak doors clicked open, and Benjamin walked inside. He looked immaculate—and entirely unassailable. He was dressed in a dark executive suit that fit perfectly over his broad shoulders, his white silk collar contrasting sharply against his sharp, bloodless jawline. He had shaved his rough beard, leaving his expression cold. He didn't look

Jane's POV The heavy oak door clicked shut behind Victoria, her parting words hanging in the air like a suffocating fog. The silence that returned to the study was thick, broken only by the sharp, metallic ringing of Benjamin’s cell phone. With a low curse, Benjamin finally swiped the screen,

(Jane’s POV) The blinding light from the bedroom flooded my hiding spot as the double closet doors were yanked open with a violent shudder. I scrambled backward, pressing my bare spine flat against the cold wood of the locked connecting door. My knuckles turned white as I gripped the edges of B

(Jane’s POV) The luxury sports car tore through the dark, winding roads like a predator hunting in the dead of night. Inside the sleek cabin, the silence was thick, heavy, and suffocating. The only sound was the low, aggressive hum of the engine and the ragged, uneven rhythm of Benjamin’s breathi

(Jane’s POV) The heavy bass of the club thudded right through the soles of my heels, but the only sound I could actually hear was the frantic, erratic rushing of my own blood. Benjamin didn't just walk into the VIP lounge; he took it over. The flashing red neon lights caught the sharp, dangerou
