SEDUCING MY ELDER BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND EIGHTY FIVE
BENJAMIN’S POV The digital numbers on the corner console of my master terminal bled into a continuous countdown: 02:14:09. Two hours remained before the formal board session, and the air inside my study felt thin, stripped of oxygen by the weight of the lie I was forcing my lungs to filter. I stood by the wet bar, my right hand bracing the heavy medical gauze binding my lower left ribs. Across the polished mahogany wood, my mother stood unblinking, her black floor-length coat unbuttoned just enough to expose the rigid, tailored lines of her blazer. "Sarah is going to panic within thirty minutes, Benjamin," She murmured, her voice a sharp vibration that slipped underneath the room's ambient monitoring network. "She knows my European banking auditors are tracking her wire handshakes. A woman like that doesn't hold her ground when the legal execution of her career is initializing. She will run straight to Victoria to save her skin." "Let her run," I growled softly, my split lower lip
SEDUCING MY ELDER BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND EIGHTY FOUR
BENJAMIN’S POV The clinical draft of the penthouse study didn't clear the scent of expensive citrus perfume, but the presence of my mother completely froze the air inside the corridor. It was 6:00 AM. Victoria was asleep down the hall, believing she had secured her dictatorship over the Williams-Vance matrix. I stood by the grand mahogany desk, my fingers resting flat against the glass terminal interface. My fractured left ribs throbbed beneath my tailored white shirt, a sharp reminder of the brotherly fury Leo had left behind on my jaw line. He had spent a decade building this empire beside me; walking in to see Victoria on my lap made him believe I had traded our brotherhood for a comfortable corporate seat. The heavy double doors of the study clicked open, and my mum stepped inside. She had stripped off her floor-length black armor coat, wearing a crisp, slate-grey executive blouse that fit her rigid posture perfectly. She didn't offer any greeting. She walked straight to the p
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
SEDUCING MY ELDER BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND EIGHTY ONE
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) 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
SEDUCING MY ELDER BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND CHAPTER EIGHT
(Jane’s POV) The transition from that blinding ecstasy to a paralyzing, ice-cold terror happened in a single heartbeat. Benjamin hurriedly threw his weight to the side, his chest heaving as his bare skin ripped away from mine. The sudden loss of his heat made my damp skin shudder. The air in th

(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
