A Naughty Christmas Affair: Fake Dating My Ex Brothers Chapter 109
Autumn But she just presses a button to play another clip. This time it’s Elijah’s voice.“—she fails at everything she does. What do you expect?” There’s a brief pause, and then he adds, “She’s an embarrassment. Nobody actually respects her.”Rhiannon stops the audio, then pulls up another clip. This one has a slightly muffled quality, as if it was recorded from a distance when the men were obviously unaware.Still, I can tell it’s Benedict’s usually charming voice talking, and somehow, his words hurt the most. “I can’t believe I ever even wanted to be friends with her at all. She’s the most selfish fucking person I’ve ever met.”“I don’t want to hear any more,” I breathe in a shaky voice, turning away from Rhiannon and her phone.“Are you sure? I have a couple more that you should really—”“I said I don’t want to hear anymore.”Before she can say anything else, I stride away from her, heart pounding in my chest. There are tears in my eyes now, and there’s nothing I can do to stop

Autumn We get there in plenty of time, and I take a deep breath, plastering a hopefully convincing smile on my face as we walk in.My mother is already holding court, and I give her a wide berth, not wanting to get into some argument or tense discussion with her tonight. My dad is standing nearby, holding her wine glass, and I bypass him too.One of the bridesmaids, one of Rhiannon’s friends from college, comes over to me, all smiles. “Autumn,” she says. “It’s good to see you.”“You too,” I say, trying to remember if she’s Anabelle or Tiffany.Most of Rhiannon’s bridesmaids look alike in that beautiful blonde way, and in fancy dresses and heavy make-up, they’re even harder to keep straight.“And these must be your men,” she practically purrs, looking at all three of the guys in turn.“Anabelle Hamilton.” She holds her hand out, like she’s expecting them to kiss the back of it, but they just take turns shaking her hand instead.All but Luke, who gestures at his splinted wrist and shru

Autumn The night of Rhiannon and Raymond’s rehearsal dinner comes way too soon. I’ve had my dress picked out for ages, approved by my sister and everything, but standing in my bedroom putting it on, I don’t feel ready.It’s a lovely dress, flattering on me, in a deep green color, but I feel like a fraud. Shouldn’t I be happy to be going to support my sister of all people? Shouldn’t I feel something other than the pit of dread that’s been in my stomach since I woke up this morning?I’m caught between feeling like I want to do nothing more than rip this dress off, get into my pajamas, and spend the night on the couch with a tub of ice cream and knowing that I have to go to this thing.If I don’t show up, it’ll only look worse. I keep reminding myself of that.From the doorway, someone wolf whistles at me, and I turn to see Benedict leaning against the doorframe, grinning.“I guess one good thing about this stupid dinner is it’s a good chance to see you all dressed up,” he says. “You lo

LukeThe next day finds me pacing around Autumn’s house.This is one of the things I dislike the most about being in towns, even ones as relatively quiet as Sweetwater Lake. There’s never enough to do. If I was back at my cabin, I could be buried in any number of projects right now, taking my mind off the restless energy burning under my skin.Autumn is back at the bakery, packing more things up to move it out of there, and I wish I could be there with her. Or that she didn’t have to do this at all. I understand she’s going through a hard time, but the protective feeling in me wants to help. She seems determined to do this on her own though, and I have to respect that.I also have to find something to do before I go insane.I’ve already chopped all the wood in the backyard, and I’d go hunting for more trees to take care of if it wasn’t for my wrist still being broken. The dishes from breakfast and from dinner last night are done, and I’ve already picked up and washed all the clothes

Autumn “I keep doubting myself,” I admit. “I was so happy when Grandmother said she was giving me this building, but if she never took Rhiannon’s name off the deed, then what does that mean? Did she change her mind? Did she think I couldn’t handle it or didn’t deserve it?”Rhiannon has always been the more outgoing of the two of us, so maybe… maybe Grandmother worried that I wasn’t cut out for running a business. Maybe she always thought Rhiannon was better suited for it.Before I can spiral down that path, Simon shakes his head. “No, Autumn. Eleanor talked all the time about how much faith she had in you. She wanted to do something that would help you get a leg up in following your dreams. Rhiannon still being listed as the owner was a mistake. I know that for a fact. Your grandmother loved you dearly, and all she wanted was to see you thriving.”That sets me off again, and I bury my face in my hands. Simon just sits there, patient and steady.“I don’t know what comes next,” I admi

Autumn I go into the bakery the next morning.Elijah kept saying that I shouldn’t, that I should make Rhiannon wait until after the holidays if she wants my building so bad, but the thought of dragging it out just makes my stomach hurt.All three of the guys were hovering around me over breakfast and while I got ready, and I know they were just trying to be protective because they’re worried about me. It’s the same way I felt when Luke got hurt, and it’s wild to think that it was just two days ago when that happened.It feels like it happened to someone else, honestly.When I didn’t relent on going in, they started insisting they should come with me, but I shot that down too. I told them I was just going to get the things I needed immediately, and that I would start moving more stuff out later.When I get there, I’m glad they didn’t come because the sign on the door saying the bakery is closed makes my stomach twist and tears spring to my eyes.I’ve cried in front of them enough.
