Claimed By My Ex-husband's Brother.
"Marry me, Selene," Dominic murmured, his voice dark and smooth like aged whiskey. "And let’s ruin Adrian together."
I should have walked away. I should have laughed in his face.
"Why me?" I whispered.
Dominic’s smirk was predatory. "Because you have nothing left to lose."
Betrayed by her husband. Humiliated by her best friend. Left with nothing but heartbreak and rage.
When Selene walks in on her husband cheating with the woman she once called her best friend, her world shatters.
One reckless night leads her into the arms of a mysterious stranger—only to discover he’s Dominic Lancaster, her ex-husband’s powerful and ruthless older brother.
Dominic has his own reasons for seeking revenge against his younger brother, and he makes Selene a bold offer: marry him, give him an heir, and together, they’ll destroy the man who wronged them both.
But as the lines between their arrangement and real emotions begin to blur, Selene realizes she may have made a deal with the devil himself.
And the biggest secret of all? She’s already carrying his child.

Chapter: 017Selene's POVMy breath caught in my throat. I turned around slowly. “What did you say?” Adrian met my eyes, calm and terrifying. “You heard me.” Every cell in my body went cold. Something precious to me? Was he talking about Rachel? The project? Or worse… But the smirk on his face said otherwise. “You’re insane,” I whispered. “If you touch a single thing or person connected to me—” “Then don’t push me, Selene.” I couldn’t breathe. The world around us disappeared. The sounds of steaming milk, clinking cups, the quiet murmur of baristas—all faded into a low static buzz. “I swear,” I said slowly, my voice low and venomous, “if you even try, I will make sure you end up with nothing. Not your shares. Not your reputation. Not your name. Nothing to and trust you'll for behind bars.” He tilted his head. “Let’s hope you don’t make me test that.” I turned again and walked away without another word, but my hands were shaking. My steps were uneven. By the time I got outside, I could b

Chapter: 016Selene POVRachel grinned like a cat who had caught a mouse. "Oh-ho. What’s this, Selene?" I quickly dropped my fork and reached for my napkin, dabbing my neck like that would somehow erase the evidence. "It's nothing. You're seeing things." Rachel leaned closer, scrutinizing me like a detective on a juicy case. "I might need glasses, but not for that, girl. Those are bite marks." I felt my cheeks burn hotter than the stove. "They’re not bite marks," I muttered. Rachel gasped, her hands flying to her mouth. "Oh my God. Dominic? Was that why you wasted so much time in there?" I closed my eyes, groaning. "Rachel—" "It was Dominic!" she squealed, slapping the table. "I knew it! Mr. Terrifying has a soft spot for you, he picks on you!" I glared at her, feeling utterly betrayed by my own body. "He does not. It was a... mistake." Rachel was practically bouncing in her seat now. "Selene! You have to tell me everything. How did it happen? Was it hot? Was it rough? It looks r

Chapter: 015Selene’s POV I should have known better than to answer the call. The phone buzzed again in my hand, vibrating against my palm with such insistence that it felt like it was burrowing into my skin. Gritting my teeth, I slid my thumb across the screen and pressed it to my ear. “What do you want, Adrian?” I snapped before he could even breathe a word. There was a long pause, as though my voice had slapped him. Good. He deserved a lot worse. "Selene... please," he said, his voice low and hurried. "I need to see you. It’s urgent. Just five minutes. Please." I barked out a bitter laugh. "Urgent? Last I checked, you lost the right to any urgency with me the day you decided to screw my best friend." "Selene, just—" he broke off, sounding frustrated, desperate. "Please meet me. It won't take long. Just the coffee shop down the street. Six o'clock. I swear, it’s important." I opened my mouth to tell him to go to hell, to remind him I wasn't his wife, his property, his anything anymore —

Chapter: 014Selene's POVThe phone vibrated furiously in my hand, Adrian’s name flashing again and again like a warning sign.But before I could hit “accept,” a strong hand closed over my wrist.I gasped as Dominic snatched the phone from me with a fluid, almost predatory movement.“Hey!” I cried, reaching out instinctively.“Give it back—”He didn’t even flinch.Instead, he tossed the phone onto the far end of the conference table like it was nothing more than a piece of trash.And before I could react, his hands gripped my waist and spun me around then pinned me flat against the polished surface of the table.“Dominic—” I started, furious, breathless—But my words died against his mouth.He kissed me very hard. Rough.Like a man starved for something he had no business wanting.His mouth crashed against mine with a ferocity that stole every breath straight from my lungs, dragging a soft, involuntary whimper from my throat.I pushed at his chest, struggling, but it was a half-hearted fight, beca

Chapter: 013Selene's POVI couldn’t have agreed more because this was a version of Dominic I have never seen before.The silence that followed was so absolute, it felt like the walls themselves were holding their breath.Dominic sat at the head of the table like an unshakable pillar, his hands tapped loosely on the table, eyes scanning the room with cool detachment.Around him, the board members shifted uncomfortably in their seats, scribbling notes or avoiding eye contact altogether.I swallowed hard, feeling Rachel tense beside me.She leaned in slightly and whispered, “ He's really scary?”Before I could answer, Dominic’s voice sliced clean through the tension.“This program,” he announced, “is not a solitary venture. A few more women will be participating in it, selected through a rigorous process as well”He paused, letting that information sink in before continuing.“But Selene Stephens will be our representative. She will be handling the project directly.”The words crashed over me like a

Chapter: 012Selene~The moment my phone buzzed, my heart flipped like a traitor in my chest.Rachel was still fast asleep beside me, curled up under the covers, her breathing slow and even. The Pale morning light slipped through the cracks of the blinds, casting long sharp streaks across the bed.I blinked the sleep from my eyes and grabbed my phone from the nightstand. My pulse hammered when I saw his name flash across the screen.Dominic.Swiping the message open, I read his reply:“City Heart Campus. 7th floor. Register your basic info again.I expect you before noon.— Dominic.”No greeting. No emotion.Just cool, clinical commands like I was already one of his subordinates.But wait, was I expecting more? I shook my head, no way!I sighed and leaned my head back against the headboard, staring at the ceiling.There was no turning back now.Beside me, Rachel stirred and cracked one eye open. “You're awake? Are you going somewhere?”“Yeah,” I said, setting the phone down. “ I've accepted the of
