SEDUCING MY ELDER BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND EIGHTY EIGHT
VICTORIA’S POV The heavy scent of lilies in the green room was suffocating. Outside, the muffled roar of the press corps sounded like a firing squad warming up. I stood before the gilded mirror, smoothing the pristine lines of my jacket, but my mind was completely detached from the flashing bulbs waiting down the corridor. I had nothing left. The Vance matrix was no longer my kingdom; it was my cage. Eleanor had successfully frozen my offshore accounts, and Benjamin had turned my father’s debt into a noose. They thought they had rendered me helpless. They thought a Vance would simply sit in a corner and play the decorative bride while they hollowed out my empire. They underestimated what happens when you strip a hunter of her weapons. You don’t make her weak; you make her reckless. "You can take the infrastructure, Eleanor," I whispered, my voice a jagged hiss against the glass of the vanity mirror. "But you can't take my teeth." If I couldn't fight them in the boardroom,

BENJAMIN’S POV It was 7:15 AM. Victoria sat at the head of the secondary conference table, her fingers dancing over a sleek tablet as she reviewed the initial liquidation drafts for Leo's assets. She looked flawless—a pristine vision of corporate dominance in a cream-colored tailoring suit, completely unaware that the ground beneath her stiletto heels had already liquefied. The air in the room dropped ten degrees the moment my mother stepped through the threshold. Eleanor didn't sit. She walked to the opposite end of the table, her black silk trench coat trailing behind her like a shroud. She placed her leather briefcase flat on the polished mahogany wood, the metal latches snapping open with a sharp, echoing crack that made Victoria’s fingers freeze mid-air. "You’re early, Eleanor," Victoria murmured, her voice carrying that sharp edge she used to command the Vance Group board. She didn't look up from her screen. "The formal merger press line isn't scheduled to go live for a
SEDUCING MY ELDER BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND EIGHTY SIX
BENJAMIN’S POV The electronic chime of the master terminal in my penthouse study severed the remaining silence of the 6:00 AM countdown. On screen, Sarah’s biometric handshake didn't merely default—it hemorrhaged. The synthetic Federal proxy trap I had planted in her routing node had done exactly what a high-velocity asset freeze was engineered to do: it stripped away her corporate composure and left her raw. "She’s moving," Eleanor murmured from the panoramic glass, her crisp slate-grey blouse catching the cold morning light. She didn't look back at the monitors. Her aristocratic posture remained perfectly rigid, her dark eyes tracking the exact moment the data packet routed from our secondary server partition directly to an unlisted outgoing satellite frequency. "She didn't run to Victoria, Benjamin. You calculated her panic precisely." "Victoria would have executed her clearance codes before she reached the lobby," I growled, my long fingers slamming against the glass terminal
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

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

Jane's POV I didn't step back from the terminal rack. Even though my hand had dropped away from the port a second before, I didn't retreat an inch, my fingers hovering millimeters from the heavy silver flash drive as if dared to reclaim it. The icy blue light of the monitor cut across Victoria’s
SEDUCING MY ELDER BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND CHAPTER FOURTEEN
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,
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 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
