His Brother's Bride
Selena has always played by the rules. Born into a world of wealth and privilege, she's promised to a man she doesn't love, Damien. She feels trapped in a life she never chose, until one fateful night changes everything.
Escaping her family’s suffocating grip, Selena finds herself at a secluded cabin in the mountains, where a passionate, anonymous encounter with a mysterious man ignites a spark she never saw coming.
As she returns to her wedding, bound by duty but torn by her heart, she discovers she's pregnant. But the real shock? The child is for the stranger she met in the cabin. Caught between two powerful men—one who offers revenge and the other, a life of duty—Selena is forced to confront her deepest desires, betrayals, and the shadows of her family’s legacy.
In a tangled web of passion, deception, and emotional turmoil, Selena must make a choice that will shatter everything she’s ever known.
Can love survive the weight of the past? Or will Selena's decisions destroy them all?

Chapter: Chapter Seven(Selena's POV)The hotel suite was beautiful. That was the first thing I noticed when the door clicked shut behind me. Creamy white walls kissed with golden accents. A king-sized bed with plush linen and carefully scattered rose petals. Champagne chilled in a silver bucket, glasses glinting in the soft lighting. Every surface gleamed like it had been touched by perfection itself.It looked like something out of a fairytale, too bad it felt like a prison.I stood there, frozen near the door, still clutching the edge of my dress like it could somehow anchor me. The silence was loud and deafening. Damien said nothing as he crossed the room and shrugged out of his jacket, tossing it carelessly on the arm of a chair. His movements were deliberate, and controlled, like everything else about him.He didn’t even look at me.I didn’t know what to expect. No—scratch that. I did know.I knew not to expect affection or comfort. But some part of me still stupidly hoped that something—anything—huma

Chapter: Chapter Six(Selena's POV)I didn’t cry when the dress was zipped up or when the veil was placed gently over my head. I caught my reflection in the full-length mirror and barely recognized the girl staring back at me.She looked like a bride. But I didn’t feel like one.I felt like a sacrifice.Three days locked away in my room had drained everything out of me. The pleading, the protesting, the aching questions. All of it has dried up like an old wound. I screamed until my voice cracked, cried until my chest hollowed.Today, I wasn’t walking down the aisle. I was being led to a grave I've been groomed for.The room buzzed with muted excitement—stylists, assistants, housemaids fluttering around me like anxious birds. They spoke softly, moving quickly, careful not to upset the porcelain doll they were dressing up. That’s what I had become—a delicate figure dressed in lace and expectation, soon to be delivered.Sophia was ready, wearing an emerald dress and her hair styled in an elegant ponytail. Sh

Chapter: Chapter Five (Selena's POV)I never thought the sound of gravel crunching beneath my feet could feel so final, like each step toward my father’s estate was one more nail in the coffin of the life I had dared to dream about.The mansion loomed before me, just as cold and grand as I remembered, its towering gates opening with the mechanical precision of something that no longer needed a soul to function. Unlike me—soul bruised, freedom clipped—I had to force my body forward. My heart felt like it had been torn into shreds and stitched back together with thorns.I told myself I was doing the right thing.But was I?Aaron's voice echoed in my head, trembling over the phone, begging me not to let him be discovered. He had a family, children. A life he built under my father’s rule. A rule I had stupidly challenged without thinking about the consequences. And now, because of my actions, his life dangled on the edge of a blade.The front doors opened before I even reached them. My mother stood on the step

Chapter: Chapter Four(Selena's POV)I reached out instinctively, fingertips brushing only cool sheets. My eyes blinked open to soft light spilling across the cabin floor. The fire had burned out, leaving only a faint trail of smoke curling from the embers. The scent of cedar lingered in the air, mingled with him.Luca.I sat up slowly, the blanket slipping down to my waist, revealing bare skin and the sharp ache of memory. My entire body still hummed with the ghost of his touch. The way he looked at me like I was more than just a name on a marriage contract, the way he listened like my words mattered. Now, he's gone.No note, no goodbye. Not even the soft click of the door to wake me.I wrapped the blanket tighter around myself and stood, wincing at the soreness in my muscles, a reminder of the night we shared. My heart was doing that stupid thing again—hoping. Hoping maybe he’d gone out for firewood or to clear his head. That he’d walk back through that door and say he needed to see me again, that he fel

Chapter: Chapter Three(Selena's POV)My entire body jolted, heart hammering against my ribs like a warning bell.I stood slowly, setting the mug down with trembling fingers.There shouldn’t be anyone here. No one except my driver knew I was here and he left hours ago.I slowly walked out of the sitting room into the hallway and saw a man in the middle of the hallway.Tall with broad shoulders. He was wearing a black coat, wet from the rain. His dark hair clung to his forehead, and his hands were tucked into his pockets like he had all the time in the world. He looked up and I could feel his eyes on me—sharp and calculating, but not unkind.He lifted an eyebrow. “Didn’t mean to scare you.”“Who are you?”“Luca.” His voice was deep, rough like gravel—smooth only around the edges.“I was looking for shelter and saw this place. The storm out there is crazy. I'm sorry, I didn't know someone lives here.”My breath caught. “It’s fine. I don’t live here. I just needed a place to clear my head.”We stood in silence

Chapter: Chapter Two(Selena's POV)There’s a kind of silence that screams louder than any room full of voices. That was what I felt the morning I decided to run.Not the clatter of silver spoons against china at breakfast, or the rehearsed laughter echoing off our marble walls. Not even the soft pitter-patter of my mother’s delicate heels across the hallway.Just silence.And in that silence, I finally hear myself.I sat at the edge of my bed in a lace robe I didn’t choose, in a room I didn’t decorate, staring at a bridal gown draped on the mannequin like it’s waiting to swallow me whole. Ivory satin, hand-stitched pearls. Thousands of dollars of perfection.But to me, it looks like a cage.Damien is handsome, and powerful. He’s everything a family like mine wants. But I don’t trust him. I never have. There’s a smile he gives that feels hollow. A gaze that never quite meets mine. And when he touches me, I flinch. I know he sees it, even if he pretends not to.Still, I played my part.Until today.I rise
