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 332~ I'm Tired Of Your TeasesElena's Point Of View He moved before I could take another breath. One second I was on top of him, sinking down slow, savoring the drag of him, and the next the world spun. The blanket rushed up to meet my back, and Jaxx loomed above me, caging me in with his arms, his eyes dark and burning down into mine. Something primal flickered across his face, like he'd been holding himself back for ages and had finally lost the thread of his own restraint. I could feel the tremor in his arms, the effort it took him to hold himself still even for a moment, and the sight of that struggle sent a thrill straight through me. It occurred to me, somewhere in the haze, that I'd never seen him look anything less than composed, and the unraveling of that composure felt like a gift meant only for me. "It's my turn now, princess," he growled, low and rough. "I'm tired of your teases." "Jaxx…" I started, and it was all I got out. He undid me. There was no other word for it. He pulled back and dro

Chapter: Chapter 331~ I've Created A MonsterElena's Point Of View His belt came open beneath my hands, though I couldn't stop them from shaking, couldn't stop the tremor that ran straight through me at the simple act of undoing him. "Here," Jaxx murmured, and his fingers folded over mine, steadying them, helping me slide the leather free of the loops in one slow pull before tossing it somewhere into the grass. He unbuttoned his jeans himself, unhurried, maddeningly patient, and I wanted to scream at the contrast between his calm and the storm raging through me. "Hurry, babe," I whined, pressing my forehead against his. He kissed the corner of my mouth, soft and infuriating, lingering just long enough to make my pulse stutter. "I'm not going anywhere, Bambina." "You're killing me." "Good." His voice dropped to a low rasp against my cheek. "Now you know how it felt, watching you want me and not saying a word." "You knew?" "Princess, I knew. Every time. The way you'd look at my hands and then look away. The way you'

Chapter: Chapter 330~ Your Body DisagreeJaxx's Point Of View "What are you doing, princess?" My voice came out deep and rough, an eyebrow raised at her sudden burst of dominance. She looked down at me, and instead of answering, her hazel eyes glinted with that dangerous mix of triumph and raw, unfiltered need. A breeze stirred the loose strands of her hair, and for a moment, she looked less like the careful, guarded woman I'd fallen for and more like someone finally letting herself want something out loud. I'd spent months watching her hold the world at a careful distance, measuring every word, guarding every glance. Seeing that control slip now, deliberately, for me, felt like watching a dam give way. "What does it look like I'm doing, Moretti?" "You tell me," I said, dragging my palms slowly up her thighs, savoring the way her breath caught at the contact. "What's come over you?" "You," she said simply. "You're what's come over me. Every damn day since I met you." Something flickered behind her eyes… a spark,

It wasn't a rushed kiss, but it was heavy, filled with every ounce of raw, unvarnished devotion I had been holding back for days. I took her lower lip between mine, tasting the salt of her tears mixed with her natural sweetness, pulling her into a slow, rhythmic heat that made the rest of the world vanish completely. Every second of distance between us over the past days had felt like a wound, and now that she was finally here, beneath my hands, I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to let her go again. The heat between us grew thick in the quiet garden, the scent of crushed grass and cedar wrapping around us lik

Chapter: Chapter 328~ You're My ElenaJaxx's Point Of View Every single word she spoke felt like a jagged blade being driven directly into my heart, twisting deeper and deeper until I couldn't breathe. I wanted to stop her, to tell her she didn't have to relive any of it, but some part of me knew she needed to let it out, that the poison had been sitting inside her for far too long, festering in silence while she pretended it didn't exist. I didn't say a word. I couldn't. My throat had closed up somewhere between her second sentence and her third, and all I could do was reach forward, grab her by the waist, and pull her violently into my chest, wrapping my arms around her so tightly she was pressed flush against my heart. I buried my face in the crook of her neck, holding her as she completely fell apart in my arms, her body shaking with loud, agonizing, earth-shattering sobs that echoed through the quiet garden. The sound of her crying was unlike anything I had ever heard before, raw and unfiltered, like something tha

Chapter: Chapter 327~ Did I Do Something Wrong, Jaxx?Jaxx's Point Of View "You think Cynthia was involved in her own husband's death?" Roman asked, his tone dropping into a cold, dangerous register. "It's just an assumption, Roman, and I pray to God it remains that," I murmured, leaning my lower back against the wrought-iron railing of the balcony, my eyes fixed on the distant tree line where the darkness swallowed everything whole. The night air felt heavy against my skin, thick with the kind of silence that only made my thoughts louder, each one circling back to the same gnawing suspicion I couldn't shake loose. "But I still want you to look into it. Dig as deep as you possibly can. The way she spoke about her own late husband today... it unsettled me to my core. She resents him, Roman. She resents him even in death, I could feel it in every single poisoned word that spat out of her mouth. A woman who holds that much hatred for the father of her children doesn't just wake up one day and decide to be a loving mother." On the othe

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.

"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.

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.

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.
