CHAPTER 3: BROTHER
Last Updated:
2025-03-02 02:51:50IZZY'S POV,
“Are you sure about this?” my brother asked when I told him and my mom about my plans to meet Tyler. “I don't think it's a good idea, the asshole doesn't even deserve to see your face. You shouldn't meet him after everything he did to you.”“Ant please!” I groaned, shoving my mouth with the pancakes my mom freshly made for me. After the horror that morning was, I decided to have my breakfast with them. Mom was more than thrilled when she heard that and was in the kitchen, preparing fruit salad for Ant. “I don't need this right now, so leave it.”
I looked across the dining room, in the foyer, so that I don't have to look him in the eyes. It was partially because I knew he was right about me seeing Tyler being a mistake, and partially because I was afraid that he might suggest coming with me. And knowing my brother, I was sure things would get out of control if he was there.
So, I was hoping for that thought to never cross his head.
“Why do you want to meet him again?” Mom asked, walking out of the kitchen with Ant’s salad and my coffee. “That boy doesn't deserve any more of your time.”
“Mom, don't…” I stopped myself and tried to think of a better response than that. It might have been enough for Ant, but not for a worrying mother. “I just have to clear up a few things, and I need closure. I don't think I can move on with my life if I don't get one from him.”
Mom sighed, she almost looked like she was going to say something, but at the very last moment she stopped herself. While I was happy to know she wasn't going to argue with me about it, I wanted to know what she had to say. Somewhere deep inside, I was looking for reasons to not go, especially after sleeping with his dad.
“I think you're being an idiot, and you're going to regret meeting him,” Ant added with a mouthful of green leaves. “Nothing good comes out of meeting your ex, and yes I'm talking from experience.”
“I didn't ask,” I rolled my eyes and stood up from the table, taking my plate in one hand and the coffee mug in the other, to the kitchen where my mom was loading the dishwasher.
“Tell me truthfully,” Mom started when I handed her the plate. “Is it that important to meet him? And do you even want to meet him, after everything?”
“I don't want to, but I have to,” I sat on the floor, leaning against the kitchen island as memories of him flooded my head. There were so many things I wished I could have changed, but it was too late. “I need to know the reason. I need to know where I failed. Why my love wasn't enough for him?”
As I said that, tears filled my eyes.
I wasn't in the kitchen anymore, I was back in Greece, on the white sandy beach. The setting sun had coloured both the sky and the sea pink. I could see Tyler on his knees with a small white box in his hand—our families standing at a distance with tears filled in their eyes—as he asked the question I was waiting for him to ask for years.
‘Will you make me the luckiest man in the world and marry me?’ His words echoed in my ears, the promises he made, the future we planned together, all of it was just a distant memory now.
“You didn't fail him, love.” My mom sat down next to me, holding my hand. “You loved him. He is the one who cheated, it's on him. Only him. Always remember that. It was never your fault, it was always his fault.”
I nodded and after putting the coffee mug on the floor, I leaned into her arms. She held me tightly, wrapping her hands around me while whispering words of encouragement in my ears. She told me how much she loved me and that I will fimd someone better. I cried some more, letting out everything I was holding inside for a long time.
“Do you want me to come with you?” Ant asked from behind. “I can drive you there and watch from a distance. You wouldn't even notice me.”
I didn't know he was in the kitchen and felt a little embarrassed knowing he saw me crying over a guy, because when he broke up with his girlfriend of four years, I teased him about crying over a girl.
“No, I don't trust you with him.” I wiped my tears and pushed myself to stand up. “You being there might escalate things, and I don't want that today. I only want some answers from him.”
He snorted, “Yeah, it's too late for that.”
I turned to look at him with my eyes narrowed at him. I didn't like the sound of it, but at the same time I wasn't sure what he meant by it.
“Anthony! What did you do?” Mom asked before I could say anything. “Please tell me you didn't do anything stupid…”
My eyes widened when I realised what she meant, and the sheepish smile he put on only added to my fear. Though I was a little proud knowing that he went after Tyler for cheating on me, I couldn't help but think if Tyler asked me to meet him to discuss whatever happened with Ant.
“Ant, you didn't.”
“Guilty!” He raised his hand in fake surrender and that angered our mom even more.
“Anthony! Are you mad? What if he goes to the cops? Have you lost your mind?” She screamed, hitting him while he tried to hug her and tell her that Tyler's ego wouldn't allow him to go to the cops.
“You don't know that,” I said, checking the time on my phone. “Anyway, I have to go. I am meeting some of my friends before. And I swear Ant, if he says he is going to press charges against you, I'm not stopping him.”
“Take care baby,” Mom kissed me on the forehead and walked me to the main door. “And don't blame yourself for what he did. He is the one in the wrong. Don't let him gaslight you into thinking any of it was your fault.”
I laughed, “Gaslight? Where did you hear that word?”
“Love Island.” She answered with a proud smile, and that made me laugh even more. “Okay, you can leave now. Go!”
“Bye mom, love you,” I said one last time before walking to my car.
“All the best,” Ant screamed from the porch as I pulled open the car door. “And take some pictures for me. I want to see my work.”
I didn't respond and started the car, taking a deep breath as I drove back to the city, to show my friends that I wasn't depressed because a man left me.
It was only a few hours before I had to be in the restaurant where we had our first date and now it was going to be the place where we ended everything.

My Ex-Fiance's Father Is A Beast CHAPTER 27: MOM
IZZY'S POV,When I got home that evening, I was exhausted to my bones, more exhausted than I’d realized earlier. And all I wanted was to jump on my bed and fall asleep.The exhaustion wasn't due to the work or due to the little encounter with Tyler at work, though that was very draining, but from everything that had been happening in my life lately. I was responsible for most of them in one way or another, but that doesn't mean I couldn't complain. The castle, the fireworks, the feeling of being seen, really seen by someone for the first time, was all I wanted, and then on the other hand, I was ready to burn it to the ground.'Don't overthink, you're making the right decision,' I told myself as I unlocked the door to my apartment, bracing myself for more loneliness to force me into the well of overthinking. However, that's not what happened because as soon as I was inside, I heard, “Elizabeth Mary Winters, where the hell have you been for the last few days?”I blinked, stunned for a
My Ex-Fiance's Father Is A Beast CHAPTER 26: FALL APART
IZZY'S POV, “I guess you didn't know, we're acquiring this company.” He had a proud look in his eyes when he announced it, not just to me but also to those around us. I glanced around the room and felt embarrassed by all the eyes focused on me. I wanted to run away, knowing well that it was going to lead to another round of gossip about my life. They barely moved away from the wedding drama; now, thanks to Tyler, they had another topic. I sighed and focused on the man in front of me. His eyes were sparkling, and the way he was leaning against the wall made it look like he already owned the company. I took a deep breath before speaking. “What do you mean by that?” His smile only deepened when I was done with my question. “We are in the early stages of negotiation, but it's pretty much a done deal.” “Why would Mr. McKelly sell the company all of a sudden?” I mumbled, trying to think about the conversations that occurred around the office, in the past few days. “I didn't even
My Ex-Fiance's Father Is A Beast CHAPTER 25: SPIRAL
IZZY'S POV,I was back at my desk, leaving the Castle and the magical life I had to live for the past two days behind. However, my mind never came back with me to the corporate life of Austin. It was still wrapped around the scent of roses and old stone walls that I fell in love with. I was still in front of that giant fireplace, wrapped in a blanket while it rained outside. Jasper was with me, kissing me on the neck while reading me one of his favorite French romances. We were both naked—it was his idea—to get in the head of the characters. It was a stupid idea, but when he started stripping, I couldn't help myself either. So, while he translated the story for me, I played with him. It was my way of connecting with the eighteen-year-old maid, the naive girl who fell in love with her master, the duke, thrice his age. “Everyone around warned him that she was going to poison him one day for his riches, but he was so in love with her that he never listened to them,” he read, and that
My Ex-Fiance's Father Is A Beast CHAPTER 24: Rom-coms
JASPER'S POV, I never knew Elizabeth was so outspoken and wild. I always thought of her as a timid little girl who was a little bit opinionated, but I had never known her other side. She hid it well, and now I couldn't help but feel like learning everything else about her. She is what I always wanted, yet this distance between us didn't seem to disappear. At times, looking at her I couldn't shake the feeling that her affection for me wasn't true, making it seem as though she wasn't in love with me. Yet, other times, I could only see love in her beautiful eyes, leaving me both confused and uncertain. Despite the mixed signals, the only thing I was certain of was my feelings for her. I knew that my love for her was genuine and unwavering, and it would remain so till the very end. With each passing day, my feelings for her were only growing stronger. Initially, I thought it was Daniel's words that got to me because he wasn't happy about me dating her. We talked before I left for
My Ex-Fiance's Father Is A Beast CHAPTER 23: CHILLS
IZZY'S POV,I felt Jasper's hands on my hips, and his warning sent chills down my spine. Weirdly enough, that made me want him even more. On one hand, I didn't want to feel those emotions because I knew it was going to end soon, and quite badly, while on the other, I wanted to surrender myself to him. “I am going to have you now!”He turned me on my back and soon he was inside me, connecting us together once again. I was so perfectly filled that it began to hurt, but not physically. Instead, I could feel Jasper in my chest, buried somewhere under my ribs. He felt like a cluster of nerves that throb with each stroke. He moved slowly in the beginning, and that only emphasized the pain. I felt every inch of him, erupting fire inside my body, and the pleasure of it chased the pain that his words had left in their wake. He was grinding into me and it felt like a weird combination of pleasure and pain. When he started pumping faster, pinning my hands above my hand, tears sprang to
My Ex-Fiance's Father Is A Beast CHAPTER 22: BEAST
IZZY'S POV, “I... I love you, Izzy.” The words echoed in my head as I woke up the next day, feeling thoroughly exhausted. My body was loose like every single muscle and tendon had been reduced to the finest thread. I was sore, too; just shifting my hips sent sparks of electricity flying throughout my body. I also realized that I was pressed up against Jasper, the same way we did that day. His muscular arms were draped against my small frame, securing me in place. I wasn't sure how we ended up in that position, but I wasn't complaining about it because it felt nice. Waking up dad after day, on an empty bed reminded me of the betrayal. I yawned because, once again, parts of what happened after the time we spent in the backseat of his SUV were a blur to me. I clearly remembered that we went for a hike, got wet in the heavy rain, got hot in the truck, and did the deeds two times in a row—the first time he was on the top, while on the second, I rode him. After that, everything was
