Married To My Enemy’s Brother

Married To My Enemy’s Brother

MARRIED TO MY ENEMY’S BROTHER Eva Knight thought the hardest thing she would ever have to survive was losing the man she loved. She was wrong. The real nightmare begins when she discovers that her husband, Ryan, has been secretly sleeping with her cousin Sophia for years—and when Eva finally demands a divorce, Ryan refuses to let her walk away. Determined to leave the marriage with whatever dignity she has left, Eva returns to the home she once shared with Ryan to collect her belongings. Instead, she finds Sophia wearing nothing but a robe and realizes that the woman who helped destroy her marriage has no intention of disappearing. Ryan turns the divorce into a battle, manipulating the media, his family, and everyone around him to make Eva look like the villain while portraying himself as the betrayed husband. Then Damian Knight steps into the war. Damian is Ryan’s cousin, his greatest rival, and the man everyone knows better than to cross. He has no interest in Ryan’s excuses and even less patience for the family’s judgment of Eva. What begins with Damian standing between Eva and the man determined to control her soon becomes something far more dangerous. Their attraction grows with every confrontation, every stolen moment, and every time Damian reminds Eva that she doesn’t have to beg anyone to choose her. But falling for Damian comes with a price. Ryan refuses to sign the divorce papers, Sophia becomes increasingly threatened by Eva’s growing confidence, and Damian’s family sees Eva as the woman who betrayed one Knight brother for another. As the pressure intensifies, Eva realizes she isn’t only fighting for her freedom anymore. She’s fighting for her reputation, her future, and the right to decide whom she loves.

Chapter: Chapter 8 : The Witness
The courthouse doors had barely closed behind us when Damian stopped walking. Don’t turn around.I frowned. “Why? Because Ryan is watching you.I almost smiled. Let him. Damian’s eyes settled on me.There was something different in them now. Not anger. Something quieter. More dangerous.“You shouldn’t provoke him.”“I spent four years being careful not to provoke him.”I adjusted my handbag on my shoulder. Look where that got me. A muscle moved in Damian’s jaw.Before he could answer, a man in a dark suit approached us from across the lobby.Mr. Knight. Damian’s expression hardened. Not here.”The man stopped. I thought you should know. He came forward. Damian went completely still. Who?”“The former financial controller. My heart skipped.“What former financial controller? The man glanced at me. Damian didn’t introduce us. He didn’t need to.I already knew something important had just happened. Where is he? Waiting in the car.” Damian looked at me. You’re coming with me. I blinked.E

Chapter: CHAPTER 7 : The Court Hearing
Ryan expected me to walk into that courtroom alone.He expected the woman who had spent four years smoothing over his bad moods, defending him to her family, and swallowing every hurt because she loved him.He was about to meet someone else.I stepped out of Damian’s car and adjusted the sleeve of my cream blazer. My hands were cold, but I refused to let them shake.Damian came around the car. For one second, I looked at him. He didn’t ask if I was ready.He simply held out his hand. I stared at it. Then I took it. His fingers closed around mine, firm and warm. The gesture shouldn’t have meant so much.It did. Inside the courthouse, Ryan was waiting with his lawyer. Sophia stood beside him.The moment Ryan looked up and saw me, his expression changed. Then he saw Damian.The color drained from his face. I almost smiled.Almost. Ryan’s eyes moved between us, lingering on Damian’s hand around mine.What the hell is he doing here? His voice carried across the corridor. Damian didn’t even

Chapter: Chapter 6 : The trap
The signature at the bottom of that page looked like mine, but I had no memory of giving Ryan permission to destroy my life with it.I kept staring at the screen. The words refused to make sense. No. Damian didn’t move. I looked at him. “That’s not possible. You signed it. I know my signature. Then you know what that means.I pushed the phone away.No. I signed divorce papers. I didn’t sign away everything I own.Damian’s expression remained unreadable. Those aren’t the same thing. My chest tightened.I took the phone back and read the clause again.Then I remembered the day Ryan’s lawyer had come to the hotel. The papers had been thick. Too thick.I had been exhausted, humiliated, barely sleeping. Ryan had already frozen my accounts by then, and I had spent most of the meeting trying not to cry in front of a stranger.The lawyer had kept saying the same thing. It’s a straightforward divorce. I had believed him. God, I had been stupid. I want a copy. You’ll have one.I want the entire

Chapter: CHAPTER 5 The First Rule
The moment Damian’s car pulled away from the curb, I regretted getting inside it.I kept my eyes on the window, watching the city blur past while my fingers tightened around the strap of my handbag.I should have gone back to the motel.Instead, I was sitting beside a man whose name had been whispered across my husband’s family dinner table for years.A man I had never spoken to until today.You’re awfully quiet. I glanced at Damian.He was watching the road, one hand resting loosely on the steering wheel.I don’t know what I’m supposed to say. Nothing.His answer surprised me. I looked back outside.For the first time since yesterday, nobody was asking me what happened. Nobody was telling me how sorry they were. Nobody was looking at me like I might break.Damian simply drove. And somehow, that was worse.Because silence left too much room for my thoughts.Ryan’s face came back to me. His voice.I want a divorce.Four years of marriage reduced to four words.I pressed my forehead aga

Chapter: CHAPTER 4 The Man Ryan Hates
The last person I expected to hear after losing everything was the man Ryan had spent our entire marriage trying to beat.Eva Hart? I stopped walking.The voice on the phone was deep, controlled, and strangely familiar. Yes?”This is Damian Knight. My fingers tightened around the phone. I knew the name.Everyone did.Damian Knight wasn’t just another member of the Knight family. He was the cousin Ryan couldn’t stand talking about without finding some reason to change the subject.Three years ago, a business magazine had called Damian one of the youngest self-made multibillionaires in the country.Ryan had thrown the magazine across our breakfast table.I remembered it clearly. Self-made.He’d laughed at the word.“Let’s see how self-made he is when the family stops opening doors for him.”I thought he was joking. Apparently, he hadn’t been. Why are you calling me?”I heard about the divorce. I let out a humorless laugh. Apparently everyone has.”I also heard what Ryan did with the acc

Chapter: Chapter 3 : Picking Up the Pieces
You should probably stop putting ‘Mrs. Ryan Knight’ on your résumé.The woman behind the reception desk didn’t even bother lowering her voice.She smiled as she said it, but there wasn’t an ounce of kindness behind it. It was the kind of smile people wear when they’re enjoying someone else’s bad day.I looked down at the résumé she’d pushed back across the counter.I didn’t. She frowned. What? I don’t use my husband’s name.”I reached for the folder and turned it around so she could see it. Eva Hart.The name I’d been born with. The only name that still belonged to me.Color crept into her cheeks, but instead of apologizing, she leaned back in her chair and folded her arms.“Right. Silence stretched between us. Then she gave a little shrug.Doesn’t really matter. I stared at her. I’m sorry?She lowered her voice this time, though not enough to keep the security guard by the front door from hearing every word.Everyone knows who you are. A knot tightened in my stomach.She glanced towa
