MARRIAGE WITH MY HUSBAND'S BROTHER
Reader discretion advised. Adults 18+ only.
Alisa Verene was the stain on her family's name—the illegitimate daughter of House Verene, forever living in the shadow of her perfect half-sister. No matter how hard she tried, no matter how much of herself she gave, she was never enough.
Love, praise, and pride were reserved for Naomi.
Until him. Victor Ravencroft, the second son of a powerful house, saw her—cherished her—and for the first time in her life, Alisa believed she could be wanted. Loved.
But love, too, was a lie.
Naomi destroyed her marriage with a single revelation: she was carrying Victor’s child. The affair hadn’t started after the wedding—it had never ended. Alisa had been nothing more than a pawn, a convenient gateway to the woman Victor truly desired. He married her not out of love, but proximity.
A sister’s castoff. A wife in name only.
Shattered, humiliated, and burned by betrayal, Alisa refused to fall quietly. She demanded a divorce—and with vengeance in her veins, she did the unthinkable. She turned to Leo Ravencroft, Victor’s older brother, the cold and untouchable heir. And with steady eyes and a broken heart, she asked him for a favor that would set the entire Ravencroft name ablaze:
A fake marriage. A lie to rival the one that ruined her.

Chapter: CHAPTER 44.1 “This will be the last time...”After finally opening up to Alisa and laying everything bare especially his past, regrets and the blood-stained paths he once walked, Leo wasted no time.Vulnerability, to him, was not something to linger in.The moment his truths were spoken, he shifted back into motion, driven by urgency and the weight of unfinished business. He did not allow himself the luxury of hesitation, not when too many loose ends remained untied and too many lives were still tangled in the consequences of his past.His priority became finding Zeke.Zeke, his former sworn brother from the underground and the one person who knew Leo before the power, before the polished suits and guarded expressions. Zeke had walked beside him in the dark and shared loyalty sealed with blood.If anyone knew how to vanish, how to hide within the shadows Leo himself once commanded, it was Zeke. And if anyone could hold answers about Dominico’s death or Celeste’s sudden disappearance, it was him.Well, probably.While Leo threw h

Chapter: CHAPTER 43 From now on, she’s on her own.”Clarisse had always known that, even as a child, Naomi carried a sharp edge beneath her smiles. She was ambitious, observant, and far too clever for her age, quick to learn how to get what she wanted and how to hide her intentions when it suited her.There were moments when Clarisse sensed something unsettling in her daughter’s gaze, a kind of calculation that did not belong to innocence.Yet love had a way of blinding her.Overwhelmed by her affection for her only daughter, the child she had borne with the man she loved most, Clarisse chose to look away from those warning signs. She softened Naomi’s flaws in her mind, convincing herself they were nothing more than intelligence, drive, and youthful pride.She even believed that with enough care, guidance, and patience, Naomi would grow into someone good.She never once allowed herself to imagine that Naomi could become what she was now.The realization settled heavily in Clarisse’s chest, bitter and suffocating.Looking back, she wond

Chapter: CHAPTER 43.1 “I feel miserable…” After finally uncovering the truth about his grandfather’s death and learning who was responsible, Leo didn’t waste a single second. Rage coursed through his veins as the pieces fell perfectly into place and realized that Naomi had a hand in it.“That bitch just keeps pushing her luck, huh?” he muttered, his voice sharp with venom. “I didn’t even punish her for everything she did to Alisa and now she dares to touch my grandfather? How fucking dare she!”His jaw tightened, veins straining along his temple as he gritted his teeth. The papers in his hand, Johnson and Peter’s investigative report crumpled under his tightening grip. Photos also spilled from the file and scattered across the desk, each one damning evidence where Naomi, caught entering and leaving Zeke’s residence multiple times, her face half-hidden beneath a cap and dark glasses.Leo’s glare burned into the images. The memory of his grandfather’s lifeless body flashed in his mind, followed by Alisa’s broken expression when

Chapter: CHAPTER 42.3 feels so good! After hearing the news that Celeste had managed to escape shortly before Dominico’s death, Leo’s mind immediately began to turn because the timing was too suspicious. It made him consider the grim possibility that Celeste might truly have had a hand in the old man’s demise.Acting on instinct, he ordered his most trusted men to keep a close watch on Victor to monitor his movements, calls and anyone who dared to approach him. What Leo didn’t know, however, was that far away from his cautious surveillance, Naomi and the man who had secretly assisted her were already celebrating their quiet victory.Meanwhile, in the lavish private villa owned by Zeke—Leo’s former business partner and now his fiercest rival, the atmosphere was anything but quiet. Music pulsed through the speakers with laughter filled the smoky air and expensive bottles of liquor glittered under dim lights. A lot of women also danced and clung to the men and in the center of it all sat Zeke himself with a glass of whiskey

Chapter: CHAPTER 42.2 “Leo, please… calm down,”Before Alisa and Leo could finish their meeting, Johnson’s phone suddenly rang that the sound cut through the quiet tension of the room, drawing everyone’s attention. He answered it immediately but as the call went on, his expression shifted. His brows furrowed, his lips tightened and a faint look of worry clouded his face.When the call ended, he slowly lowered the phone then with his anxious gaze landing on Leo, who sat across from him with a calm yet watchful demeanor. Alisa sat beside him silently observing while Peter caught Johnson’s fleeting glance from across the room.“Alright…” Johnson tried his best to sound composed, though the slight tremor in his voice betrayed him. He swallowed hard before speaking again. “Boss, it’s about Sir Dominico. I think… it’s best if you look at it personally. I’ll drive you there.”Leo’s frown deepened and his heartbeat quickened at the mention of his grandfather’s name but his expression remained cold and unreadable. He then turned to Alisa, m

Chapter: CHAPTER 42.1 “No… no, that can’t be,” After a night that burned with lust and desperation, Leo and Alisa now sat in a quiet meeting room across from Peter and Johnson. The atmosphere was heavy with tension as they discussed the new evidence or proof that Naomi had orchestrated a murder. She hadn’t done the killing herself but her command had sealed a man’s fate. The cruel irony of it all was that the victim had been the father of her unborn child.Every detail laid out on the table made the room feel colder, darker.Elsewhere, Victor’s world was collapsing.The email came with a cruel simplicity, a set of results that confirmed what he secretly feared. The baby Naomi had lost… wasn’t his. His hand trembled as he reread the message, over and over, as if the words might change if he just stared long enough but they didn’t. The truth was unrelenting, stabbing through him with each passing second.He sank into his chair with his heart hammering in his chest. The room around him felt smaller and suffocating. His thoughts spira

Her Billionaire Brothers’ Protection
She thought marrying the city’s most dazzling billionaire CEO would give her happiness. Instead, she was met with cold indifference, mockery from his relatives, and nights spent alone in an empty marriage.
When he shamelessly brought his first love into their home, her patience shattered. With trembling hands but unwavering resolve, she threw the divorce papers on his desk.
“You’ll regret this,” he warned with a cruel sneer.
But she didn’t look back.
Just when the world thought she had lost everything, a shocking truth unraveled—she wasn’t ordinary at all. She was the long-lost daughter of a powerful dynasty.
Her eldest brother, a business tycoon, showered her with billions in shares.
Her second brother, a ruthless lawyer, stripped her ex-husband of everything.
Her third brother, a superstar adored worldwide, declared to the media, “This is my one and only sister.”
From ashes, she rose into a queen no one dared touch. Her glow lit up the world, and every man who once scorned her could only watch in regret.
When her ex-husband finally came crawling back, begging for one more chance, her brothers only sneered—
“Dream on. A man like you isn’t even worthy to stand in her shadow.”

Chapter: CHAPTER 5SO many days had passed but Cindy hadn’t confronted her husband about that day—the day she had walked in and caught Alexander with another woman, right there in their own bedroom. It should have shattered her completely but after three years of marriage, this betrayal had, tragically, become just another thread in the fabric of her life.She had caught him before.She remembered the secretary in his office, the artist he flirted with under the pretense of business, the businesswoman whose presence in a meeting was more than professional, the entertainer in the bar whose laughter had once grated against her heart.Each time, she had witnessed the indiscretions firsthand, her chest tightening, her stomach knotting with hurt, yet somehow, because she loved him,she let it slide.Naïve, she told herself, foolish in love—she still let him touch her, still made herself vulnerable to him, hoping that the intimacy might tether him somehow. She had given him herself, fully and freely, even aft

Chapter: CHAPTER 4“YOU'RE still not pregnant, Miss Choi,” the doctor said, his eyes fixed on the monitor in front of him. His voice was calm, professional but the words hit Cindy like a cold wave.She looked down at her hands resting on her lap, fidgeting nervously. Her fingers twisted the hem of her dress as a lump formed in her throat. She was on the verge of crying again, the helplessness of the moment pressing down on her chest.“It could be because of your emotional state, Miss,” the doctor continued gently. “I advise you not to overthink everything. Try to let go of your worries. If you need a change of perspective, perhaps a trip to somewhere peaceful, surrounded by nature… maybe even with your husband, if possible.”Cindy said nothing.‘How can a trip like that happen when my husband won’t even take a look at me?’Her lips parted slightly, but no words came.Then she felt the weight of three years pressing down on her—the quiet tension in her marriage, the constant pressure and the unspoken exp

Chapter: CHAPTER 3“ARE you sure it’s her this time, brother?”Jace’s voice was calm, measured but there was a hint of concern beneath the surface.“Well, there’s no harm in trying again, right?” the second brother replied while leaning back slightly in his chair, fingers tapping against the polished mahogany desk.“Yeah, you’re right,” Maxwell admitted with a small nod, though the crease in his brow betrayed the tension he felt.“But what if she’s a fake again? Like before?” the youngest brother asked with a trace of unease in his usually confident tone.Lucas Han’s eyes narrowed slightly with a sharp glint of determination in his gaze. “I’ll make sure that would never happen,” he said, his voice firm, leaving no room for doubt.The vast office of Titan Core Corporation seemed to echo with their words.The room was sleek, modern and imposing, glass walls overlooking the city skyline from floor to ceiling, a silent testament to the power the eldest Han brother wielded. Here, three figures gathered in wh

Chapter: CHAPTER 2THREE years had quietly slipped by since Cindy married Alexander Choi—the formidable billionaire CEO of Choi Global Holdings, an empire with deep roots in finance and investment. To the outside world, their marriage had been nothing short of a fairytale: the orphan girl who married into unimaginable wealth and power.It was also the very company that had poured money into her adoptive family’s real estate and infrastructure business, giving it the fuel to rise higher, stronger and more prominent than ever before.In society’s eyes, Cindy had become the bridge, the jewel that tied her family to an empire.But behind the glittering façade, Cindy herself remained a stranger to it all.She never understood the intricate workings of Choi Global Holdings, nor did she have the chance to. Words like investment portfolios, subsidiaries, equity shares—they were foreign sounds to her, nothing more than murmurs in conversations she was never invited to join.And the reason was painfully simple.H

Chapter: CHAPTER 1ALL her life, Cindy had never known what hope felt like. Each day was nothing more than an endless cycle of misery, pain and a loneliness so heavy it gnawed at her small heart.At ten years old, everything seemed to change.A man in a crisp black suit appeared before her in the orphanage where she had lived since she was five. He spoke gently, extended his hand and told her she would finally have a home. For the first time, Cindy allowed herself to believe that perhaps—just perhaps—her life could be filled with warmth, happiness and meaning.She had imagined many possibilities but never this: to step out of the cold, crumbling walls of the orphanage and into the glittering grandeur of a mansion.
