Tangled With The Other Brother
She was always the good girl. Until heartbreak made her reckless.
Elena Sinclair thought marriage meant forever.
But five years in, her “forever” has become a gilded cage of pain and betrayal.
She’s the wife who couldn’t give him a child. The barren disappointment. And for that, her husband offered her a cruel compromise… an open marriage. One that gave him the right to find someone who could carry his heir.
The next day, he brought a pregnant woman home. The same woman who was first introduced as his cousin.
The humiliation doesn’t end there, his mother lashes out… hurling insults and even fists, while her husband turns a blind eye. Not once has he defended her. Not once has he shown her love. She’s nothing more than a placeholder… a name on a marriage certificate.
The cruelest part? She loved him. She loved him long before the vows, long before the lies… so deeply it blinded her to who he really was.
Now, to make him jealous, she turns to the one man she should never touch: Jaxx Moretti, her husband’s younger brother. The dangerous one. The black sheep of the Sinclair family. The man who once made her high school years hell… and now has every reason to destroy her husband's legacy.
What starts as a twisted game soon ignites into something raw, addictive, and completely forbidden.
But Jaxx isn’t just her escape. He’s everything her husband isn’t. Because the deeper she sinks into Jaxx's bed… The harder it becomes to crawl back out.

Chapter: Chapter 281~ We Have A Sinclair To BuryJaxx's Point Of View"What the fuck is going on?" I roared into the empty room, my chair slamming back against the glass window as I surged to my feet. The absolute fury coursing through my blood turned the world entirely red, my vision narrowing to a single, terrible point of focus. The tracking chip I had secretly embedded into Elena's hair was screaming at me from thirty thousand feet in the air. Thirty thousand feet. She was on a plane… a plane I hadn't authorized, hadn't arranged, hadn't even known about. My mind flashed violently back to just last night, when she'd told me she was going to see her mother at that rundown hospital. She had looked at me with those wide, haunted eyes, trying to defend the indefensible, wanting so desperately to give that wicked woman the benefit of the doubt. I had seen the fragile hope fracturing her usual stubbornness, watched her armor crack just enough to let that poisonous vulnerability seep through, and it had made my chest ache with a prot

Chapter: Chaptr 280~ Meeting PausedJaxx's Point Of ViewThe mahogany table stretched out like polished bone beneath the low, ambient lights of the penthouse boardroom. Around it sat seven men who controlled the flow of every piece of unregistered cargo, every offshore shell company, and every major under-the-table transaction from Dallas to the border.These were dangerous men, the kind who usually took orders from no one. The kind who'd built empires on broken bones and buried secrets, who'd survived wars both literal and economic through sheer ruthlessness. But right now, none of them dared look at each other. They were looking at me. Or rather, they watched the way my thumb lazily tracked the rim of my lighter, the small flame clicking open, hiss-flickering, then snapping shut in the heavy silence. Each click echoed in the tension-thick air like a countdown to something inevitable. I wasn't listening to them. Victor, the head of the east-side distribution channels, was currently sweating through his silk tie, stu

Chapter: Chapter 279~ Please Don't Give UpElena's Pont Of View"Yes, I am gullible! I am completely stupid for believing a single word that came out of her mouth!" The words tore from my chest, raw and jagged, slicing through the heavy drone of the jet's engine. My voice fractured under the weight of it all, hot tears finally spilling over and carving slow, burning paths down my bruised cheeks. Each breath felt like swallowing glass. I leaned forward against the biting pressure of the zip-ties, my glare cutting into Graham's pristine, aristocratic face. Even now, even here, he looked immaculate… not a hair out of place, his suit pressed to perfection. The sight of his composure made my rage burn hotter, a white-hot fury that threatened to consume me from the inside out. "But you will never understand it," I said, shaking my head as my lips twisted into a bitter, trembling line. The words came out thick with emotion, each syllable weighted with years of buried pain. "No one would ever understand it unless they were forced to

Chapter: Chapter 278~ I'd Rather DieElena's Point Of ViewThe sharp, chemical-sweet stench of chloroform still clung to the back of my throat when consciousness finally knitted itself back together, piece by fractured piece. My eyelids felt weighted with lead. I blinked heavily, my vision swimming in a blurry mess of bright white light that seemed to pierce straight through to my skull. A low, persistent thrumming vibrated through the soles of my shoes and up into my bones, setting my teeth on edge.The air felt thin. Dry. Wrong. It tasted recycled, artificial… nothing like the musty hospital smell I'd expected. I tried to raise my hand to press against my throbbing temples, but my wrist refused to move. A sharp, heavy snap of metal ground against metal, the sound cutting through my disorientation like a knife. My eyes flew wide open, the fog of confusion instantly melting into cold, spiking panic. I looked down, my breath catching in my chest. This wasn't a hospital room. I wasn't even on solid ground. I sat in a pl

Chapter: Chapter 277~ Sweet Dreams, WifeyElena's Point Of ViewMy eyes widened as the full weight of the situation finally settled into my brain like a stone sinking to the bottom of a dark lake. The sheer horror of it made my stomach drop into a bottomless pit. God, I had been such a complete, utter fool. I had walked straight into the slaughterhouse because I thought, for one single second, that a piece of her might still be human.That somewhere beneath the greed and selfishness, there might be a mother who actually cared about her daughter's wellbeing. She wasn't. She was just a broker, and I was the merchandise. She was selling me out... again. Just like she'd done when she'd pushed me toward Graham in the first place, dazzled by his money and status. "You're a monster," I whispered, the words coming out cold and hollow as I looked at her. I wanted them to hurt, wanted them to cut, but her expression didn't even flicker. There was nothing there to wound… no conscience, no maternal instinct, no love. "I'm a realist, sw

Chapter: Chapter 276~ You Can Always Just Get Married AgainElena's Point Of ViewI turned my back on her before she could even open her mouth to scream, walking toward the heavy door without a single backward glance. My fingers clamped around the silver handle, cold metal biting into my palm. I pulled. It didn't budge. A sharp spike of irritation pierced my chest as I frowned. I jerked the handle harder, the metal clinking loudly against the frame, but the mechanism remained entirely dead. Someone had locked it from the outside. The realization sent a cold trickle of unease down my spine. "What the hell..." I muttered, my fingers straining against the unyielding handle. The metal bit into my skin as I rattled it again, my heels pivoting on the linoleum as a cold, prickling sensation began to climb up the back of my neck. Nothing. The door might as well have been solid stone. My pulse quickened, a warning bell starting to chime in the back of my mind. I spun around, my eyes flashing as I locked them onto the woman in the bed. Heat flooded

His Contracted Wife: When Revenge Meets Love
Five years ago, Nina Hale lost everything… her family, her reputation, and the man she once loved. Betrayed by her own sister and abandoned by those she trusted most, she disappeared without a trace.
Now she’s back.
With a new identity and a burning determination, Nina is ready to reclaim her life and chase the dream she once gave up: becoming a star actress. But her return awakens old enemies, and her scheming sister Lydia is determined to ruin her again.
Just when Nina thinks things can’t get worse, she’s caught in another trap… and unexpectedly crosses paths with a quiet, lonely little boy.
Ethan Grant hasn’t spoken in years.
Feeling responsible for him, Nina agrees to stay and help the child come out of his shell. But she didn’t expect Ethan’s dangerously charming father, Lucas Grant, to enter the picture.
Cold, powerful, and impossible to read, Lucas slowly finds himself drawn to the woman who brightens his son’s world.
What begins as a simple act of kindness soon turns into something far more complicated, because Nina came back for revenge.
She never planned to fall in love.
**********
“I saw you with him,” Lucas said quietly, but the tension in his jaw gave him away.
Nina exhaled, crossing her arms. “You don’t get to care.”
“Don’t I?” He stepped in, close enough that she had to tilt her head back to meet his eyes.
“This is just a contract.”
“Then why does it bother me?” His hand hovered near her waist, not touching—yet.
“It shouldn’t.” Her breath faltered.
His gaze darkened, “And yet it does.”

Chapter: Chapter 44 They've Seen WorseLucas's question hung in the air, unanswered."…Where's Ethan?"For the first time since the chaos began, the room stilled.Bianca blinked, her expression shifting almost instantly from mild amusement to something closer to concern."Oh…"Her gaze drifted around the dining area as if Ethan might suddenly materialize from behind one of the tall doors or emerge from the shadows near the windows. "That's true," she murmured, her voice softening with a mother's instinctive worry. "He's usually here by now…"A small crease formed between her brows as she glanced toward the hallway, then back at the empty chair that should have been occupied."He hasn't come down yet."That alone wasn't unusual. Ethan had always been the quieter one, the one who preferred solitude to the bustling energy of family meals. But today, everything felt different.

Chapter: Chapter 43~ I Like Her AlreadyLucas's fingers tightened slightly around his cup, the porcelain warming against his palm. Axel didn't miss it. He never did. "Oh, Mom," he said with a laugh that held far too much amusement, "who else would it be?"Bianca's mouth fell open, her fork clattering against her plate. "Wait… wait—"She looked between both her sons, searching their faces for confirmation of what she'd just heard. "Lucas, you were serious? When you said there was someone?"Axel rested his chin on his hand, watching the scene unfold like it was his favorite show. The corner of his mouth twitched with barely suppressed delight. "Oh, he was very serious," he added, nodding slowly for emphasis. "Very invested too, if you ask me."Sebastian, now recovered from his initial surprise, glanced between them with quiet interest. His expression remained neutral, but there was a glimmer of curiosity in his eyes that hadn't been there moments before."Axel."Lucas's voice was low. Measured.A warning.But Axel just grinne

Chapter: Chapter 42~ Wooing A Woman?Lucas didn't rush.He never rushed. Even after that strange, unexplainable morning, he moved through his routine with his usual precision. The memory of what had happened clung to him like morning fog, refusing to dissipate entirely.A faint distraction at the back of his mind, persistent and unwelcome. A pair of sleepy eyes staring at him through a screen, unguarded and vulnerable in a way that had caught him completely off guard. A flustered voice, breathless with surprise. A scream that still echoed faintly in his ears.He adjusted his cufflinks, his jaw tightening slightly. The motion was automatic, practiced, a physical anchor to pull himself back to the present.Focus.The hallway outside Lucas' room was already alive with the sounds of a household in motion. Soft footsteps echoed against polished floors. Muted voices drifted from distant rooms. The distant clink of porcelain against glass signaled breakfast preparations underway.Morning had settled into the house with the kind

Chapter: Chapter 41~ I'm Definitely Going CrazyLucas stood motionless, the phone resting lightly in his palm as though it might shatter under too much pressure.The screen glowed faintly in the dim room, casting a soft reflection across his otherwise unreadable expression. Shadows played across the sharp angles of his face, softening features that were usually set in careful control.He exhaled… slow and measured, then gave a small shake of his head, almost as if trying to dislodge something invisible that had taken root there."This has to stop," he murmured under his breath, the words barely audible in the stillness.It wasn't like him. None of this was. He prided himself on discipline, on the ability to compartmentalize every aspect of his life into neat, manageable sections.Yet here he was, holding onto a call he had no reason to continue, watching a woman sleep on the other side of a screen as if her presence somehow anchored him to something he couldn't name.It was irrational. Unnecessary. A disruption to the carefully con

Chapter: Chapter 40~ If I Rest For One NightThe call ended.The screen went dark.And Nina, completely alone in her apartment froze for exactly two seconds before she released a muffled scream into her palm."Arghhh!"She hurled the phone onto the couch as though it had personally betrayed her. It bounced once against the cushions, the screen still glowing faintly before fading to black."This is so embarrassing!"Her voice echoed in the quiet room, bouncing off bare walls that suddenly felt too close. She began pacing immediately, dragging her fingers through her hair until the strands tangled around her knuckles. Her heart hammered against her ribs,.. not from fear, but from the mortifying replay of every word she'd just said."And I actually argued with him—"She stopped mid-step, one foot hovering above the hardwood floor."…I argued with him."Her face scrunched up as realization sank deeper, settling like a stone in her stomach. Heat crept up her neck, spreading across her cheeks in waves she couldn't control."Is he laug

His fingers trembled slightly as they gripped the phone.Then he lifted it again, bringing the screen close to his face.Nina's image filled the display, her expression warm and expectant. He stared at her, gathering his thoughts with the seriousness of someone preparing to deliver crucial testimony.His jaw set. His eyes focused. Then, with the complete conviction of a prosecutor presenting damning evidence, he spoke;"...Bad."A weighted pause."...Daddy bad."For a second, Nina blinked, processing the solemn declaration.
