ENTWINED BETWEEN LUXURY
BLURB:
Between duty and desire, Gina Washington chooses duty, sacrificing her dreams to save her family's crumbling legacy.
Married off to a stranger, she is trapped in a gilded cage of manipulation and control, her heart slowly suffocating under the weight of expectation.
But when her husband's cruelty pushes her to the brink, Gina seizes freedom, escaping with a secret that could change everything - a month-old pregnancy.
On her way to escape, she falls into a car and loses consciousness. She wakes up to find herself in the hospital. She asks for help, and the man who brought her offers her help. She later finds out that the man is the brother of the man she left behind. His kindness and compassion cradle her shattered soul, and for the first time, Gina dares to dream of love.
Yet, as past and present collide, an explosive rivalry between brothers threatens to destroy the fragile haven she's found - and the heart she's beginning to trust.

Chapter: BROKEN ~~ FLASHBACK ~~"Hey Man...." A half Asian man approached Ethan with a half grin as he walked into a pub. Loud musics were blaring from the speakers. The pub was beautifully decorated with Disco lights. People from all walks of life were squabbling in the pub."How is everything?" The man asked once they had settled at the counter."Give me a shot of tequila mixed with rum," Ethan called out to the stunt bar attendant."Same here," The other man called, taking a seat on one of the stools. Ethan sat next to him with a grin on his face.The music in the bar had turned to a slow rhythmic music.

Chapter: ANOTHER FAMILY Gina's lips hung apart. A loud ringing sensation blasted her ears and her eyes were bleary making her vision blur.The room was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropped could be heard. She could hear her own heart beat as she dragged her feet to the sofa.Zendaya had left a long while ago with her child leaving her promise that she would be back to take her place."Gina, you don't believe what she has said right?" Ethan's weary voice asked as he went down on one knee before her."I do." Gina replied tersely. A tear trickled down her eyes,running down her cheek as she looked into his dull eyes."What? You can't possibly believe her baseless words..." He rasped, his hands falling on her."I do believe her words, Ethan," She drawled in a low pitched voice with a smile paving its way to her tearstained face.

Chapter: A SHOCKING SECRET A worried look hung on Gina's face. She paced back and forth in the bedroom. Ethan strode in with both his hands hidden in the pocket of the grey trousers he wore."Gina?!" He wrapped his hands around her shoulders drawing her to the warmth of his body. Gina hummed a reply and rubbed her nape."Did she turn down the dinner offer?" Disappointment rang in her voice as she croaked daring to take a peek at his face. His face appeared unreadable."No, She didn't. She should be on her way."He had barely completed his statement when a loud honk sound came from outside. Gina's eyes lit up and she sprang to her feet."I guess she is the one," she said in excitement, putting her hair back in place."Come on," Gina beamed and held his hands. She laid a kiss on the crook of his neck.With a sweet smile

I want to invite her officially to our wedding over dinner."Ethan chuckled, "That is not necessary, Gina. We can send her an invite through email..."She tutted, refuting his idea, "No. She is the only one of your friends I have ever seen... so I want to treat her right," She intoned nicely."Please, Don't say no...." She pleaded. Her lips pouted cutely.Ethan let out a sigh of resignation, "Fine, I will invite her."Gina squealed gleefully, "Thank you so much, my love."A loud beep sound at the other end showed that he'd hung up.A sly grin popped up on her face.

Chapter: JUST A FRIENDGina didn't know why but her eyes stung hard as she struggled to stare into his eyes. She felt like she was being torn apart by his words.Feigning a smile, she waved her head, "Sure, I will."The waiter returned with two bags which he placed on the table. Jace picked them and rose to his feet."It is night time already. I guess it is time to leave, " he heaved, taking a quick glance outside through the transparent glass window. The skies had now turned grey and there were few cars on the road.Gina looked sharply into her wristwatch."Shoot!" she cussed and also rose up, "I need to leave now."The time flew so quickly that she failed to realize that it was past eight PM. She was supposed to prepare dinner and also tuck the kids to sleep.Hurriedly, she picked up her bag. "
