Nana’s POV

The night melted away far too quickly, the shrill sound of the alarm dragging me from restless dreams. I wriggled in bed, my eyes still closed, reaching out instinctively for Simon. My hand met only the cold, smooth fabric of the sheets.

My stomach twisted, but I brushed the feeling aside. Simon had come to me last night, hadn’t he? Things were fine. They had to be fine.

Shaking off the unease, I got ready for work, determined to find him at the office. There was a meeting today about the merger between his company and my parents’. I’d planned to use it as an excuse to go with him and also spend some time with him, but when I arrived, his absence only tightened the knot in my stomach.

“Where is Simon?” I asked Grace, his secretary.

Her hesitation was impossible to miss. “He didn’t say, ma’am.”

I studied her for a moment, noting how carefully she avoided my gaze. It set my nerves

    I slipped into his car, the black leather seats cool against my skin, the faint scent of cedar and cologne enveloping me as we sped off. I tried to focus on the road ahead, but my gaze betrayed me, drifting towards him more times than I’d like to admit.His eyes were fixed on the road, sharp and focused, while his large, veiny hands gripped the steering wheel with a quiet intensity. For a split second, an image of those hands gripping my neck instead flashed through my mind, sending an uninvited throb straight between my thighs.“No, no, no,” I muttered under my breath, shaking my head to dispel the thought. I forced my eyes back to the road, willing the heat pooling inside me to fade. But it didn’t.Curiosity got the better of me, and I stole another glance, pretending to be interested in something on his side of the road. My eyes lingered on the sharp angle of his jaw, trailing down his broad chest, and finally landing on the unmistakable bulge in his groin. It was impossible to m

  • Entangled With My Brother-in-law    Chapter Ten

    Noah’s POVThe meeting passed in a blur, but my problem wasn’t keeping track of the details—it was keeping my eyes off her. Every glance in her direction was a test of my self-control. It took everything in me not to grab Nana, pull her into a room, and fuck every ounce of sadness Simon had caused out of her. I couldn’t stop staring, couldn’t stop imagining what it’d feel like to have Nana pinned against the nearest wall, her breathless gasps filling the space between us. The way her blouse hugged her tits, her nipples poking out a little, teasing just enough to make me clench my fists under the table—God, it drove me insane. Her clothes clung to her in all the right ways, outlining curves that could drive a saint to sin.Her delicate collarbone peeked out from beneath her neckline, and all I could think about was trailing my lips across it, down further until I tasted every inch of her skin and the way her lips parted slightly as she was concentrated? It was criminal.Her brown ha

    Her grip on my arm tightened as she laughed softly, her confidence flickering like a flame. “The kind that makes you forget everything else,” she whispered, her lips dangerously close to mine.But forgetting wasn’t an option—not with Nana’s face still burned into my mind. I eventually gave in to Maddy’s requests but even as I entertained her games, and the image of amber eyes and a bright smile haunted me.Many hours later, Maddy and I stood at the edge of the rooftop balcony, letting the cool breeze crash against our faces. Behind us, the muffled sounds of laughter and music carried on, but I wasn’t paying attention. My eyes were glued to the city lights sprawling beneath us, but my mind, as always, drifted back to her.I couldn’t stop myself, not now, not ever. Every part of me ached for her, yet I was stuck watching her waste her life with Simon. The thought alone made my blood boil.“So, big guy…” Maddy’s raspy voice pulled me from my thoughts. She swirled the blue liquid in her

    Nana’s POV What did I do wrong this time? The thought clawed at me, relentless and unrestrained. My nails dug into my palms as I sat before my monitor, stacks of contracts waiting for my signature, documents piling up. Yet, I could barely breathe. Simon was angry at me again. I didn’t even know why. After the meeting, I had tried to talk to him, but he’d barely spared me more than a curt response. Cold. Distant. Detached. He didn’t even try to hide his displeasure. Every minute in the car with him had been more suffocating than the last, like I was trapped in a space shrinking around me. I wanted to lash out. I wanted to scream, to shake him and demand that he tell me what I had done this time. But I wasn’t ready to be completely shut out again—to endure more days of his silent treatment, his cruel indifference. We had made love last night. I had thought—for a fleeting moment—that things were finally getting better. That maybe, just maybe, he still wanted me. But the way

    The drive home was nothing short of torture. Every shift of my thighs sent another pulse of heat between them, the bumps in the road jolting through me, friction sparking with each movement. No matter how tightly I crossed my legs, the silk of my stockings hissed like a secret, and my body refused to calm. I was losing—losing to something dark, something wrong. God, he’s doing this on purpose. I could feel his gaze burning into me from the driver’s seat, amusement simmering beneath those deep green eyes. His hands flexed over the wheel, the veins in his forearms shifting with each controlled turn. His shirt, still undone at the collar, exposed the barest glimpse of his toned chest. My breath hitched before I could stop it. God. Stop looking at him. But I couldn’t. I clenched my hands into fists in my lap, nails biting into my palms. My stomach coiled, shame and need tangling into one wretched, delicious mess. By the time we pulled up to my house, I practically launched m

    Noah>> I should have left earlier. Should have walked away the second she pulled her hands from mine, the second she whispered it’s nothing like she wasn’t crumbling right in front of me. But I stayed. Because every time she looked at me with those wide, conflicted eyes, I knew—I was winning. She wanted me. Even if she fought it, she wanted me. And fuck, I wanted her more. The moment I stepped into my car, my hands tightened around the wheel, knuckles white. My jaw clenched. My entire body was wired, tight with the tension of restraint. Her scent lingered in my car. I drove away from Nana’s house like a man fleeing a crime scene, her vanilla-and-sweat perfume clinging to the leather seats, her stifled whimpers still echoing in my skull. Pathetic, I told myself. You had her shaking in your arms, and you walked away. I could still feel her. The way she shuddered when I touched her. The way she inhaled sharply when I got too close. The way she looked at me like she was

    “We were fine yesterday, but now you won’t even look at me,” I murmured, my thumb brushing a stray curl behind her ear. She shuddered—good—but held my gaze, the defiant mask slipping just enough to reveal the crack beneath. “I thought Dad said you were joining him out of state,” she said, her voice steadier than her trembling hands. I smirked, pressing closer, crowding her against the counter. “Why would I leave when the best lessons are here?” My knee nudged between hers, not enough to bruise, just enough to remind her I know. “Watching you work… it’s educational.” Her breath hitched, the lie Simon and I are fine dying on her tongue. I could still smell my cologne on her skin from last night’s drive home, still see the ghost of my fingerprints on her waist. The machine beeped, jolting her into motion. She spun away, fumbling with her teacup, but I caught her wrist, pressing her palm flat against the granite. “Careful,” I purred, nodding at the scalding steam. “You’ll b

    Simon’s POV The whiskey was doing nothing. I rolled my glass between my fingers, watching the amber liquid catch the dim light of the bar. It should have burned. Should have numbed something. But nothing touched me anymore. Not liquor. Not sex. Not even her. I ran my tongue along my teeth, jaw tightening at the thought of my wife—my beautiful, naïve wife—sitting at home, probably curled up in my sheets, waiting for me like a good little thing. The thought should have pleased me. Should have filled me with something close to satisfaction. But it only made me restless. Because she was too good for me. And I fucking hated it. I could have shattered her by now. Could have broken her down into the shape I wanted, could have molded her into something less… pure. But every time I came close, every time I reached for her with the full weight of my darkness, I stopped. She was still untarnished. And I resented her for it. Because no matter how cruel I was—no matter how many

    “Please, what?” I twisted my finger, curling it, dragging it against the soft, sensitive walls inside her. She tasted divine. I groaned, shoving my fingers back inside her, thrusting, curling, teasing. This time, I went deeper, stroking, teasing. I found that sensitive little spot that made her body go weak and pressed against it ruthlessly. Her thighs trembled. Her walls clenched tight again, desperate, begging. She got close. But I ripped my fingers away again. She whined. A frustrated, broken sound. “Simon, please—” I gripped her jaw, tilting her face up. Making her look at me. Her lips were swollen, wet from the cries and gasps that had slipped past them. Beautiful. “You don’t get to beg,” I said, my voice low, dangerous. “Not after what you did.” “What?” Her eyes shone with confusion. She was too wrecked to understand, to think properly. Good. I slipped my fingers past my lips, licking away the taste of her, savoring her. And then I stood, leaving her panti

    “Simon what are you doing?” Nana asked, her breath shuddering. I remained silent soaking in her disheveled state and ragged breaths. She looked so fucking beautiful, too beautiful. Every inch of her begged to be marked, bruised and tortured by me. Fuck I wanted to hurt her and make her enjoy every bit of it but I couldn’t. She was too pure for me. She tried to get up but I pushed her back, following as she landed softly on the bed, my hands found hers and pinned them above her head. More confusion flickered in those amber depths but I didn’t care. I needed more I wanted more. My blood ran hot rushing everywhere most especially my dick. I leaned into her ears, kissing the back close to her neck. My breath hit against her skin. Her breath hitched. “Simon” she called but her voice only dissipated with the air. I peeled back again. “I hate you Nana.” The words almost slipped out of my tongue but they remained in my head. “You have no idea how much I want to wreck you.” With

    Nana was still crying. That soft, pathetic sound clawed at something deep inside me. It made my chest feel tight, my fingers twitch at my sides. Fucking Noah. It was always him. Always lingering, always finding a way to ruin what was mine. But the worst part? The part that made my jaw lock, my fists curl? Nana cared. She shouldn’t. She should be disgusted by him the way I was. She should hate him. She should have looked at him with nothing but dismissal, but instead, she was soft. Soft in ways she never should be with him. Her eyes had been wide, filled with something she had no business feeling for another man. For my fucking brother. The way she looked at him burned through me like gasoline to an open flame. And now she was crying for him. I hated it. Not just the sound, but the reason. That she was crying for something so pathetic, so unworthy. She cared too much, cared for people who didn’t deserve it, and it made me sick. But then, a thought—a dangerous, sickening

    SIMONNoah sat at the counter of the small inbuilt bar, completely at ease in my house—like a wolf that had just wandered into the den of another, unbothered by whose territory he had just invaded. He held a glass of whiskey between his fingers, swirling the amber liquid as if he owned the place. A slow, smug smile curved his lips when his gaze met mine.I stilled, my body tensing before I even spoke. “What the hell are you doing here?” My voice came out low, tight, barely controlled.Noah took a lazy sip before setting the glass down, his expression deliberately casual. “Relax, big brother. I’m just being a good neighbor.”Nana turned to look at him, surprise flickering in her soft features. “Neighbor?”Noah chuckled, slow and amused, like he was enjoying a private joke. “Luigi sold his mansion to me. I’m the new owner.” His gaze flickered back to me, sharp and calculating. “We’re neighbors now, Simon.”The words rang in my ears like a goddamn siren. Of course. I should’ve known. Noa

    NANA'S POVSimon was being nice now, but I couldn’t shake the anxiety creeping into my chest. Would this last? Or was this just another moment before the cold shoulder returned—before he started treating me like I was nothing more than some obsessed fan who annoyed him?Was it because I mentioned wanting a child? Was this his way of talking me out of it? Or had he actually realized how much he’d been hurting me?I wanted to believe it was the latter. God, I wanted to believe it.But Simon was unpredictable. Always.Even now, after he told me to stay away from Noah, I wanted to argue—but I didn’t. I just nodded and let the words settle inside me.Because that’s what I always did.I always chose him.“What’s going on in that pretty little head of yours?”His voice was smooth, drawing me back into the moment. I looked up, startled to find his eyes fixed on me.“Oh, uh…” I forced a small smile. “It’s nothing.”It was a lie. A clumsy, obvious one.Simon smirked. “You’re not a very good lia

    Simon’s POVNana was slipping away from me.It wasn’t obvious, not yet, but I could see the signs. The hesitation in her eyes. The way she didn’t lean into me like she used to. The lack of warmth in her voice when she said my name. It was my fault obviously but I couldn’t have her walking away. Never. She was mine to hurt alone. I led her through the restaurant, my grip around her wrist firm but not tight enough to raise suspicion. I preferred control wrapped in silk, not iron. People glanced as we passed—admiring, envious. The powerful CEO and his elegant wife. Picture perfect.Except she wasn’t adored. She was possessed.The host pulled out her chair, but I beat him to it, taking her hand and pressing my lips to her knuckles before guiding her down. A small gesture, a carefully placed thread in the unraveling fabric of her devotion.She stiffened for a moment, and then her eyes flickered—hope.Pathetic. Poor thing. I’d almost feel bad if she wasn’t such a fool for me. Even after e

    Noah’s POVOh, sweetheart. If only you knew what your loving husband spends his nights doing to other women.I watched as Nana walked away, Simon’s grip tight on her wrist as he pulled her along like some devoted husband. It was laughable. He could bring her flowers, kiss her senseless in her office, whisper whatever sweet lies he thought would keep her tethered to him—but it wouldn’t last.She took one last look at me. Hesitant. Conflicted.Good.Her faith in him was already crumbling, even if she wasn’t ready to admit it yet. And Simon’s pathetic affections wouldn’t hold her together for much longer.Earlier, I met up with Maddy, expecting her to deliver exactly what I needed. Instead, she brought something entirely different.“I’m sorry, Noah.” Her voice was strained, her hands clasped together in desperation.I frowned, already knowing what was coming.“I failed.” She swallowed hard, glancing away. “But—I have an explanation.”My silence urged her to continue. I took in the marks

    The air in the room changed, thickening with something I couldn’t quite name. His fingers, which had been idly tapping against the desk a second ago, stopped moving.And then, slowly, his expression hardened.“What is this about?” His voice was cold, almost detached.“You know what this is about, Simon.” I searched his face for a reaction, but he remained silent. “I think… a child would bring us back together. Just like before.”His jaw tensed. “Nana, we agreed—”“I know what we agreed on,” I cut in. “But things have changed.” My voice was firm, but my chest ached. “You were gone all night, Simon. You didn’t even return my calls.”Silence. He just watched me, his gaze unreadable.I took a shaky breath. “You say we’re fine, but you and I both know that’s not true.”His expression didn’t shift, but for a brief second—so quick I almost doubted it—I thought I saw it. Guilt. It flickered across his face before vanishing into indifference.“This isn’t about a child,” he said finally.My hea

    Nana’s POVThe alarm buzzed, jolting me upright in bed. My heart pounded in my chest as I blinked against the dim light filtering through the curtains. When did I fall asleep?I had only closed my eyes to push away unnecessary feelings—about Noah, about Simon, about the gnawing anxiety that had been sitting in my gut since last night.I glanced around. The room was empty. He never came home.My stomach clenched, but I quickly shoved the feeling down. He probably had something to do. That’s all. It’s what I’ve always told myself. It’s what I had to tell myself.Simon would never betray me.And I would never betray him.That’s how it had always been.And I needed to set boundaries with Noah. I needed to focus. Everything would sort itself out.The sun had barely risen when I headed out for work. Work—the one constant in my life. Some people dreaded it, but for me, it was an escape. A place where my thoughts quieted, where I could pretend everything outside the office didn’t exist.Wit
