The Heiress and the Four Brothers 12. Can I kiss you?
SERAMy cell phone was ringing on the table. Cal's name flashed on the screen, and my heart inexplicably skipped a beat.“What's going on, Call?” I asked matter-of-factly. My anxiety was over the top, but I couldn’t control it—especially when it came to Reggie.“Grant is apparently out somewhere and there's one of Reggie's medical documents that wasn't brought with us. So, can you please check if it's left in his desk drawer?” My back instantly slumped against the back of the chair. I thought something bad had happened. “It's a light blue folder. It has the hospital logo on it. You'll know it when you see it.”“Okay, one second,” I replied and got up from the chair, walking out of the room.I was about to open the door to Reggie's study when it swung open from the inside. Ace's steps halted as he noticed me, our faces alike in surprise.“Ace?” I asked. His eyes were sharp as ever, but somehow there was something I couldn't decipher. “What are you doing?”“I meant to meet Reggie origina

ACEI returned to the room, breathing a sigh of relief after almost being caught by Sera. Once again, I had to admit my luck. If I had been a minute late, she would’ve seen me with that document in my hand—and the last thing I wanted was to give her any reason to dig deeper, especially about why I was taking pictures of it.My cell phone vibrated in my pants pocket. The name that appeared on the screen made me smile slightly. Mom. Of course.“Ace, dear, how’s it going over there?” My mom’s voice was a mixture of affection and expectation. A dangerous combination.“Everything’s on track,” I replied, walking to the window to make sure no one had heard.“And Sera? Has she figured out you’re the only logical choice in that family yet?”Not yet, of course. “She’s closer to Beck. For now.”She snorted, her low laugh full of contempt. “Beckett? A failed artist with no direction in life? That’s not competition, Ace. You two are worlds apart.”I frowned, even though I knew it was just her way o
Last Updated : 2025-01-04The Heiress and the Four Brothers 14. You saw me and Ace kiss?
SERAI didn't know that I was that cheap.My mind felt like a storm that couldn't be stopped. I stood in my room, staring at my reflection in the mirror. My lips still felt warm, as if holding onto the imprint of two different kisses—and it made me feel all kinds of wrong.Was it okay for me to act like this? I knew Beck was fragile, and I just wanted to comfort him, but Ace … he was different. That kiss wasn’t about comfort. It was like a deliberate, calculated move. But still, I let it happen.Oh God, why do I suddenly feel like a hopeless romantic teenager, chasing kisses like they’re the most important thing in the world?Then there was Beck’s comment about Damon, which kept nagging at me. It would be hypocritical of me to say that everything Beck said wasn't true. However, my ego was also too high to just accept it. I mean … this was Damon.Even so, I needed to be sure about something. And before I knew it, I was already in the garage, but Damon wasn't there. A new driver said Dam

SERA“Get on.” “What?” I asked, my voice confused, but then found Damon crouched on the sidewalk. And my bag is already around his neck. It's like I'm not part of the world for a minute or two. It feels like everyone is moving, but I'm still. Or maybe more accurately, I was too busy trying to calm the alcohol in my body to notice anything around me.“Get on my back, Sera. I’m not letting you pass out on the street.”I huffed, but obeyed him anyway. Wait, when did I end up wearing his leather jacket? “You’re so … annoying,” I grumbled into his ear as he stood up, tightening my grip around his neck. “And you're heavy,” he retorted, starting to walk.“I didn't ask you to carry me like this ....” I said in a weak voice. God, not only was I cheap, but I was also shameless.“And I didn’t ask for drama at the club. But here we are.” His tone was flat, but I could hear the faint amusement beneath it.“You didn't have to flirt with that woman.” My mouth was so out of control that even the ton

CALWe had just come out of the clinic, and Reggie was still with his infectious smile despite having just undergone a rather grueling examination.“Cal,” he called, his voice calm but full of teasing undertones. He looked at me with a nosy smile, typical of a man who knew how to make others feel uncomfortable without meaning to. “It's not that I don't appreciate your concern, but perhaps you should spend more time with Sera instead of constantly tagging along to doctor’s appointments. Are you planning to marry Sera or me to be honest?”I chuckled, starting the car engine. “Sorry, Reggie, I'm just the kind of guy who keeps old people company, not marries them,” I replied flatly, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of rubbing me the wrong way.Reg

CALWe arrived at Blackwood Estate just as the night was getting late. I quickly turned off the engine and got out of the car, hurriedly opening the passenger door. Sera was still asleep on Damon's lap. Her face was calm, but her body looked weak.“That's enough for tonight,” I said as I looked at him with a firm but gentle tone. “You need your rest too.”Damon looked at me with a flat expression. “I'm going back to the bar. My bike's still there.”I sighed, feeling tired of Damon's stubbornness. “I'll send someone to get your bike. Go home and rest.”“I can take care of myself,” Damon retorted, a defensive tone in his voice.“Not tonigh

SERAI woke up to a throbbing headache. The clock read three in the morning, and the room felt cold despite the thick blanket wrapped around me. I slowly got up, realizing my clothes had changed into a short t-shirt and gray sweatpants. No time to dwell on that—my head was pounding, and I needed something to take the edge off.Carefully, I made my way downstairs. The house was quiet, the same atmosphere every time I woke up at this hour. As I approached the kitchen, the warm glow of a yellow lamp could be seen shining through the crack in the door.I peeked inside, wondering who was still up at this hour.Cal was sitting at the kitchen table, his shoulders slumped slightly. From here I could see him twirling a spoon between his fingers. “Cal?” I called softly.

BECKI woke up with a pounding head, like my brain was wrapped in a thick fog. Sunlight slipping through the curtains made me squint. I groaned, dragging a pillow over my face to block out reality for just a few more seconds.Until last night's conversation instantly invaded my memory.Sera. That kiss.Heat rushed to my cheeks as I rolled over and stared at the ceiling, trying to steady my breath. What was I even thinking last night? My words, my actions … everything felt so mortifying now. I almost never drink because I know how easily I get drunk, and look what happened. This was all Damon’s fault!I rubbed my face, trying to shake off the shame. My heart beat faster as images of Sera's face appeared in my mind—her faint expre

The Heiress and the Four Brothers 61. Just for a moment
ACEIt had been a week since Reggie’s death, and Sera was still standing tall in the middle of the storm. At least, that’s how it looked from the outside. But I knew she was barely holding herself together.Blackwood Group was in a state of uncertainty. The CEO’s absence left the giant corporation unsteady, and just as I expected, the board of directors and shareholders were starting to question who would take over.I got that information from my tutor.As the COO and a 10% shareholder, Sera was technically one of the key figures in the company. Being Reggie’s only child, she should’ve been in a strong position to take over.But things weren’t that simple.She wasn’t chosen as interim CEO. Someone with a larger stake—someone the board trusted more—ended up taking the position.I wondered how Sera was handling it all.Losing Reggie was already enough to shake her, but now, she had to deal with business politics on a level she’d never faced before. One wrong move, and she could lose eve
The Heiress and the Four Brothers 60. Cal is the only one she needs
ACEI didn’t expect the night to end like this.This wasn’t how I wanted it to be.The heat of her skin, the way her breath hitched, how she gave herself to me completely … I wanted all of that. But not this. I didn’t want Sera sitting there in silence, her expression empty, while the people around her talked as if she were nothing more than a bargaining chip in a transaction.I always knew Reggie and Sera only had each other. But tonight, in a room full of men in black suits who cared more about assets and stocks than memories and loss, that fact felt more real than ever.There were no relatives of Reggie here. No one claiming to be his brother, cousin, or even an old friend. Just people who, at some point in their lives, had a professional interest in Reggie or Sera. And now, after Reggie’s death, they watched Sera like hawks circling their prey, waiting to see if she was strong enough to hold onto what he left behind or if she would crumble under the pressure.Meanwhile, the four o
The Heiress and the Four Brothers 59. You're not alone
CALThe repast was held at Blackwood Estate. The main hall was filled with mourners standing in small groups, each holding a drink, their voices humming softly in the air.But not with grief.From the start, I knew this wasn’t just a gathering to remember Reggie. It was a stage for his business associates to secure their positions in the world he left behind.The guests spoke in hushed tones, but their conversations lacked the weight of loss. Their words were the same ones they’d murmur at a gala or a corporate summit. Their clothes were black, but their expressions didn’t carry sorrow. Their discussions revolved around stocks, assets, and speculation about who would take control now that Reggie was gone.I caught pieces of their conversations.“Sera Blackwood might sell off the assets in a few months. She’s too young to handle this alone.”“Or maybe she’ll hold onto them. We know she’s smart, but without Reggie … is she strong enough?”“She can’t run it by herself. A board of directo
The Heiress and the Four Brothers 58. We do this together
CALI knew this was coming.For days, I’d seen the signs. Every chart, every number, every response from Reggie’s body—it all pointed to the same thing. His time was running out. I wanted to deny it, to believe maybe he had a few more days. But no. Tonight, it’s happening.Walking out of the ICU, my breath felt heavy. I was used to death. As a doctor, I had delivered bad news to countless families. But this was different. This wasn’t just another patient. This was Reggie.And this was about Sera, too.That’s why I convinced her to wait in the suite—the place where we always stayed while waiting for Reggie. I knew she wouldn’t like that decision—Sera hated being controlled. But she was also too exhausted, too fragile to witness this firsthand. So I made the choice for her, even knowing she’d probably hate me for it.As I closed the door behind me, I saw Ace at the end of the hallway. He wasn’t leaning against the wall or sitting on the bench. He stood tall, hands buried in his jacket p
The Heiress and the Four Brothers 57. I can't lose him
SERAI didn’t remember how I got to the hospital.Everything felt like a thick fog. The city lights flickering through the car window, Ace’s voice constantly speaking beside me, but I couldn’t catch a single word.All I could think about was Reggie. And fear.Fear of the worst possibility, one I didn’t even dare to name in my mind.The moment the car stopped, I pushed the door open before Ace could stop me. I ran through the hospital corridors, past unfamiliar faces—doctors, nurses, other visitors. I didn’t care about them—I didn’t even care about my own unsteady steps.I almost crashed into a nurse when I turned the corner, but I didn’t stop. My breath was ragged as I kept running until I saw that door. And Damon.He was standing there, steady and unhurried, as if he had been waiting for me. I could barely recognize the expression on his face. No fear, no shock. Just silence, hinting at something I didn’t want to hear.Beck was there too—sitting on one of the chairs outside the room,
The Heiress and the Four Brothers 56. Scream for me, Sera
SERA“You’ll come when I let you,” he whispered like the devil himself. “Be a good girl and tell me what you want.”“In your dreams.”I felt his smirk on my neck. “Come on, don’t be shy. Beg for it, and I'll give it to you.”I bit my tongue. I refused to give in. But my body told a different story—it had already surrendered to him long ago. And he knew it. He knew I was on the edge.His kisses trailed lower, teeth grazing my shoulder before he whispered in a tone that made my body tense. “I can wait all night, Sera. But the question is… can you?”A quiet growl escaped me. This man … he loved dominating me, pulling me into the rhythm of his game until I had no way to fight back.“Sera.” His voice dipped lower, firmer. “Say it.”I clenched the sheets beneath me, my entire body tense from the urges I could no longer contain. My breathing was ragged, and finally, the sound escaped my lips.“Fuck me,” I whispered, so damn low, but I knew he heard it. Swallowing hard, I gathered the last bi
The Heiress and the Four Brothers 55. Say my name until you forget everyone else's
SERA“Do you feel this?” he whispered. “It beats just as strongly as yours, doesn’t it?”I should have pulled away. I should have denied his words. But I didn’t.Instead, my hand slid lower, tracing over his toned abs—the body of a man built on discipline.And that was when Ace smiled in satisfaction. He knew I was mesmerized by him. And he was right. But I wasn’t going to admit it.“I knew you wouldn’t run.” His hand moved down, gliding over my thigh. “And I’ll make sure you never want to.”I was trapped in the way he controlled everything. Controlled me. And I hated how much I liked it. How much I wanted more. Ace and his game of dominance—this time, I had a feeling he was going to win.His lips brushed against my collarbone, trailing soft kisses before pressing deeper into my skin.“Ace…” I finally spoke, my voice hoarse and uncertain. My hands pushed against his shoulders—too lightly, too weak to be a real push.“It’s too late to hesitate, sweetheart,” he murmured with a deep voic
The Heiress and the Four Brothers 54. Do you feel this?
SERABy the time we reached his bedroom door, I swallowed hard. I should stop this. I should pull my hand away, take a step back, say something—anything—that would give me an excuse to leave. But I just stood there, letting him open the door and pull me inside. The sharp click of the door locking behind me rang in my ears, sealing off any chance of retreat.I looked up, meeting his intense gaze. My breath felt heavy, my chest rising and falling abruptly, whether from the tension that still lingered from something happened in the car or the realization of what might happen tonight, I wasn’t sure.He didn’t say anything, but I could see the hunger in his eyes. The way they traced my face, the way they lingered on my lips. My body waited, while my mind desperately searched for an escape.Then he pulled me closer, and I could feel the heat radiating from him, smell the mix of his masculine scent and the faint trace of wine from dinner. And now, he was only an inch away, his voice filling
The Heiress and the Four Brothers 53. I want you to feel it everywhere
ACEThe air inside the car felt warm, even with the AC still on. The night outside was eerily quiet, broken only by the rustling of leaves swaying in the wind. Dim street lights cast a faint glow on the dashboard, creating soft shadows on Sera’s face.I sat in the driver’s seat, one hand resting on the wheel while the other lay lazily on my thigh. Sera, seated beside me in the passenger seat, still wearing her night dress—the one I chose. A deep blue that blended into the night, baring her shoulders in just the right way. The fabric clung to her body like it was made for her. She turned her head toward me, her gaze searching mine for something.“I’ve kept my promise,” she murmured.I turned to her, locking eyes. “And you think that’s enough?”She was silent for a moment, then a small, challenging smirk tugged at her lips. “You really are never satisfied, are you?”I knew this game. I knew when she was teasing and when she was trying to deflect. And I wasn’t in the mood to play along.
