Dr. Chloe Burns POV

I already finished consulting with my last patient for the day and was about to leave the office when the door opened, and one of the orderlies came in bearing a simple flower bouquet.

Up close, it was not ostentatious and flashy. Its pastel colors seemed to calm the nerves. The colors that I desperately needed after grueling clinic hours and rounds with patients.

“Who gave this?” I asked the bearer, but even before I got his answer, I was already pulling out the bouquet’s a

    Damon POVSomeone’s following me.Early this day, I was able to slip past the gates of the Daily News Agency and pretended to be Damian. The guards believed me.Maybe they did not think that Damian had a twin brother. We were rarely seen together, except when we were back in College.After college graduation, Damian and I went our separate ways.I haven’t heard of him for five years. When I invited him to my wedding, I had this urge to reconnect with my brother. I suddenly felt that as I go and start a new life with Gwen, I will also fix my relationship with my brother.So, I sent him an invitation.The morning of the wedding, I was surprised to see thugs in my home. They were able to get in without me knowing. It was a good thing I had heightened senses. I am always alert. After what happened the past few days with the gun shipment that had been intercepted in the port of McGee, I had become too cautious.I saw them, but they did not see me, or so I thought.I escaped my house, but I

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   Chapter 125. Still In Love

    Damian POVWhen Damon marched to my office to confront me, fear surged within me. I reacted quickly in anticipation. It was something I could not ignore.My friends thought that I was jealous, which was why I ordered Gwen’s transfer to my office, but that’s beyond that. I was scared of what my brother might do to her when he confronted her.When they realized the severity of the situation, they agreed with me. Gwen’s reputation takes a backseat to her safety. I would always prefer her safety over being sorry.I do not care about the rumors that will be circulating in the office for a while. That can be toned down until it becomes a distant memory. I am going to leave anyway. But not before I made sure that Gwen is safe.Damon’s time is up. He will be arrested soon, but I can’t let Gwen know. She already had enough shocks to last her a lifetime. She was already stressed; I can’t add more to her agitation.But seeing how her eyes narrowed did nothing to allay my fears. She didn't look l

    Gwen POVI followed Monique’s progress as she made her way inside the newsroom and into her cubicle.I really do not know what was wrong with her. Shouldn’t she be happy that I was finally out of Nick’s way? I had been thrown out of the newsroom. I will no longer see Nick on a regular basis.Not that I am going to miss him when I leave, but I felt a little sad.Nick has become a good friend these past few days. Besides, working at the newsroom has made me closer to my dream.I was out of the door and walking my way toward the elevator bay when the elevator door opened, and Baron got out.He took one good look at me and grinned. Without waiting for my reaction, he approached me and took the box I was carrying. “Let me take that.”I refused to give him the box and stepped a little to the right, but apparently, I had calculated it wrong because the next moment, Baron had taken the box away from me and balanced its weight using his palms.“It’s not that heavy. I can manage.” I told him.

    Gwen POVThe moment I walked into the newsroom, I felt awkward. I shook my head, not knowing how to put the feeling into words as my eyes scanned the whole room.As usual, the journalists in their respective cubicles looked busy with their laptops or their phones, but something in the air changed.Nick was not at his table, which added to my distress because he is the only person in the newsroom I felt comfortable with, aside from Jo. But she was assigned to Mrs. Lucerne at the other office.Ignoring the feeling, I took a deep breath and approached my desk. The moment I reached my table, my hand gripped the back of my chair to steady my trembling knees. The confrontation with Damian was still fresh in my head.I was still fuming.But what bothered me was Monique. I thought that we already understood each other, but now, things had changed in a snap.And I really wanted to blame Damian for this. He all but announced to the whole newsroom department that something’s going on between us

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   Chapter 122. I Can Do It

    Gwen POVMy body shook uncontrollably as I marched away from Damian Olson. Each stomp echoes around me.It was clear how Damian had no concern for me. He kept doing things that had adverse effects on me and my job. He loves undermining me as a person.He has always been a selfish b*stard. He only does things that he seems fit for what he wants.He does not care about the repercussions for me.I was fuming mad. I was so vexed that I had half a mind to turn back from my tracks and face Damian. My hand itches to slap him. For doing this to me and putting me in uncompromising situations.How dare he? How dare he confuse me?How dare he act like he cared when all he ever did was to put me in jeopardy?I looked around me. In my anger, I had not realized that I had entered the emergency exit. I was not thinking straight earlier when I opened the only door I saw. The only thing that was on my mind was to get away from Damian as fast as my feet would carry me.Now, I am going down the staircas

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   Chapter 121. Walk Away

    Damian POV"You are an as*hat." Mason said after the elevator doors slid closed following Gwen's grand walkout.The car began its ascent, and I looked forlornly in front of me, ignoring Mason and his guilt-laden statement. As always, he had been the voice of reason in my head. But his words do not seem to penetrate my hard-headedness.I still believe that I was doing the right thing."I am just doing what I have to do to protect her."Mason scoffed."You are not protecting her. You are staking your claim. Think about how it would affect her. Gwen needed a stress-free working environment, according to Dr. Chloe, but what you did will backfire on her in ways you can't imagine. Don't you remember Petrakis Corporation?"I shook my head, frustration pricking beneath my calm surface. I wanted to dismiss his claim outright because I refused to believe our situations were comparable. A flicker of defensiveness hardened my resolve."That was different. Petrakis Corporation is a conglomerate ope
