Gwen POV

I was seething in anger the moment I marched out of Damian’s office, clutching to my chest the sheaf of papers that he threw on his desk, which I collected.

I was so angry. On normal days, I would have kept my mouth shut, but the way he kept egging me on, it seemed to me like he wanted me to blow a fuse, and I did.

My body shook, but I also felt a release. I realized I needed to vent out.

It took me some time before I calmed down, and when I did, I began to tackle the work he assigned

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   Chapter 150. Rescued

    Gwen POVMy eyes wide, I began to scream,but Damon pressed his palm to cover my mouth.Then, he slapped me hard. Tears streamed down my cheek.“No one’s going to come to save you. Stop resisting and just accept what is bound to happen.” Damon said while I looked at him wide-eyed in fear.I really did not think that the man whom I used to love was becoming a monster right before my eyes.“Damon, please. Don’t do this.” I cried, pleading.I stared into his eyes, trying so hard to find the man who loved me. But all I saw in his eyes was determination and hatred.“I tried reasoning with you. I tried groveling, but you won’t listen to me. Why? Do you think I did not notice how you and my brother treated each other? Are you having an affair behind my back?” He hissed.The accusation pinched a nerve. I rued what had happened between us.“I am not!” I denied hotly.He grinned wolfishly at me. For a while, it reminded me of the Damon I used to know, except for the malice I saw in his eyes.“T

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   Chapter 149. Confrontation

    Gwen POVI was expecting to go home to an empty apartment, but the sight of Damon made me stunned.Damon stood from his comfortable perch on my couch when he heard the door click open.At first, I could not believe what I was seeing. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me.I thought he left, but apparently, he didn’t.We both spoke at the same time.“What are you doing here?”“What took you so long?”Evidently, it registered on me how he was able to come inside. And I asked him how he was able to do that.Damon smirked at me.“This whole apartment building belongs to my family. Of course, I have access to every unit here, especially my wife’s.”That little bit of information left me speechless.Now, everything clicked in my head. Jo’s reaction when I told her about the free apartment for the employees, and Damian and his friends' reaction when they brought me here that first time I arrived at Roadster City.The realization filled me with shame. I had no right to stay here.Sudde

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   Chapter 148. Quiet Conflicts

    ​Gwen POVI was so excited at the prospect. Even though I still have not clarified my eligibility to join the contests, I am already making plans in my head.Even Jo was set to join. We were both excited, making plans.“Why don’t you interview Senator Adams? I think he can be a good subject since he was elusive to the media.”I made a face, remembering my previous encounter with Senator Adams and how uncomfortable it left me. The idea of interviewing him brought back those uneasy feelings.“The public already speculated on our relationship. I do not want to bring that up. I can’t endure another scandal. Besides, I don’t really know him. I just met him because he was friends with Damian.”I was glad that I finally had to clarify that at least with her. It does not matter what other people think. What is important is that Jo and the few friends I made here knew that I was not a loose woman who was fame-hungry, as had been magnified in some news reports.I appreciated that Jo hadn’t judg

    Gwen POVI thought my day would end on a good note, but I realized that I had no control over things when we bumped into Monique accidentally.We were waiting for the elevator.Jo and I were teasing each other good-naturedly. She was telling me about her developing crush on Baron, and I was grinning so hard because she was already planning in her head a future with him.“You are not even dating.” I pointed out, grinning.Jo smirked at me. “Not yet. But you will see. That Baron will be mine.” She told me with an exaggerated coquetish tone that did not fit her at all.I guffawed in laughter, and that was when the elevator door opened. We both stopped when we realized who was inside the elevator.Monique!We both fell silent at the sight of her.She looked at us as if we were just air, and then she turned her head as if she did not see us.I pulled at Jo’s sleeves, warning her.I also wanted to emphasize the message that I was hesitant to join Monique at the elevator, but Jo was already

    Gwen POV“You are crying.”I was shaken out of my temporary stupor and lifted my gaze to Jo, who looked puzzled as if she was trying to decode a national problem that had eluded our generation’s geniuses.“Come again?” I asked, unable to catch her words. Then, I noticed the way she was staring at me and could not help but ask.“Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something in my face?” It was meant to be a joke to dispel the change in the atmosphere. It has become quite heavy all of a sudden.“That is because you are crying.”After hearing what Jo had to say, my hands lifted so I could wipe my face with the heels of my hands.She was right, I thought to myself after feeling the wetness from my cheeks.I really did not know what made me cry. “Maybe it was a delayed reaction from the heavy workload earlier. The boss was quite strict and brutal.” I told her, but even I felt that they weren’t true.It was the thought of my past that brought on the tears.“I am sorry. You shoul

    Gwen POVAlone, I looked at my watch to check the time. Then, I hurriedly went to get my phone to call Jo. I had hoped to catch her before she leaves.She answered on the second ring.“Are you still at the building?”I was looking at the two food packages on my table, hoping Jo would say she was. I realized I did not want to eat alone, and I have so much food in my hand right now.Relief swept through me when Jo said she was still here. I quickly set up for us to meet at the employee’s lounge, my mood shifting with renewed hope.She was there ahead of me. A smile wreathed her face when she saw me enter.“I thought you would be staying longer?” She commented when I sat down beside her and pushed the packages in front of her.“For me?” Her eyes widened in excitement.“Nelly’s!” She exclaimed, mentioning the name of the restaurant near the building.Well, Jo and I were the same. We love simple pleasures, and food was one of them.“Yes. Let’s eat.” I told her and opened the packages.I w
