I didn’t expect the fight to look like that.

The ring was a real ring, but slightly different because of the iron cage around it and a crowd that closed in around like hungry wolves.

People shouted, cheered, and placed bets. Some were already halfway drunk. The music had been turned down, but the tension? It was louder than anything.

I stood beside Miles, who had his arms crossed and a serious look on his face now. Even he wasn’t joking anymore as his eyes followed every activity in the ring.

Across the ring stood Grant Miller.

I recognized him on sight. His body was covered in tattoos that looked more like paintings. He was smirking like he’d already won. Like this was just a warm-up.

Ryker stood still, rolling his shoulders, bouncing lightly on his feet.

He looked different now. Not the Ryker I knew as the typical ruthless CEO and Derek’s older brother. Not the man who called me his little lamb or fucked me against a counter. This Ryker looked like he belonged in this place. Like

  • After Divorce, I Married His Half-Brother   Chapter 78. The Wedding Didn’t Happen

    The wedding didn’t happen.Derek ended up in the hospital, and everything just... crumbled. A few guests had already left, some probably glad the whole thing was over, while others stayed, not knowing what to do with themselves. As for me? I felt like I was floating through the whole thing, disconnected from everything around me.Ryker didn’t come back like I’d hoped, like I’d needed. Instead, I had to board a plane back to Brooklyn by myself, the hours of travel stretching on like some endless reminder of the mess I had gotten myself into.The flight felt longer than it should’ve. Time seemed to drag, my mind spinning in circles, thoughts of Ryker and Derek fighting for space. I kept asking myself what the hell was happening between me and Ryker. Was this just a game? Or was it more than that? I couldn’t figure it out, and I hated that I couldn’t.By the time I landed, the sun was starting to dip below the horizon. My phone buzzed just as I stepped out of the car, the screen lighti

  • After Divorce, I Married His Half-Brother   Chapter 77. His Anger Scared Me

    The ride back to Miles's suite was quiet. The streetlights outside kept flashing through the window, throwing stripes of light across the car. Miles didn't say much. My head was still buzzing from the alcohol and the noise in my chest wouldn't stop.When we got in, Miles dropped his jacket on the chair and went straight for the minibar."You staying here tonight?" he asked."Yes.""Right. You shouldn't go back like this, else she might probably throw you out."I didn't answer. I just sat down on the couch, elbows on my knees, staring at the floor. My hands were still stained with faint red smudges. I rubbed at them but the marks didn't really fade.The room was quiet except for the sound of ice clinking as Miles poured another drink. I leaned back, closed my eyes for a second, and reached for my phone.I dialed Cole's number.He picked up fast like he'd been waiting. "Sir.""She's there?" I asked."Yes, sir. Madam Vanessa arrived a while ago.""She eaten?""Yes. I made sure. But she

  • After Divorce, I Married His Half-Brother   Chapter 76. Maybe I’m Obsessed

    >__It was chaotic. Everywhere was filled with chaos. Yelling, crying and sirens from ambulance filled the air as Derek was carried into a Van.A night that was supposed to be filled with humor and songs. Now, filled with gloominess.The cold outside was biting too. The kind that bit through the skin but didn't do much to cool what was burning inside me.Miles walked beside me, quiet for the whole time. He didn't try to talk, just followed my lead as we left the hotel entrance. The guards kept their heads down, pretending they didn't see the blood on my hands.I didn't look back.Cole had already gone to take Vanessa to the other suite. She'd be safe there. Away from all this. Away from me.I kept seeing her face though—shocked, pale, scared of me.That look.It was worse than the blood.We reached the car. Miles slid into the driver's seat, started the engine, and we drove off into the dark. The city lights blurred past us as the car sped through the night. I leane

  • After Divorce, I Married His Half-Brother   Chapter 75. Ryker’s Unrestrained Fury

    >__I didn't have to see Ryker's face to feel the darkness radiating from him. He had Derek trapped in a corner of the room, his fist striking again and again with unrestrained fury. Ryker wasn't stopping. Each punch hit harder than the last, until Derek's face was barely recognizable, covered in his blood. That was when I finally snapped out of whatever daze had frozen me in place.Wrapping the duvet around myself, I staggered out of the bed and rushed towards them. "Ryker, that's enough!"I reached for his arm, but he didn't flinch or let go of Derek. "Let go, Vanessa!" He growled, one hand still pressed tightly against Derek's throat, and the other came with another swing. "Please, stop!" I cried. But my words didn't reach him. Derek's body was limp now, his face was pale beneath the blood. He was barely conscious. In panic, I rushed towards my phone to call Catherine. But just then, the door burst open.A group of people rushed in—Catherine, Mr Holland,

  • After Divorce, I Married His Half-Brother   Chapter 74. Sharing Vanessa With My Brother

    > _ _ I heard Vanessa would be staying over at the hotel. Time to apologize for whatever I had done, because the last thing I wanted was Ryker getting the better of me. I had carefully avoided him all evening, staying with crowds, moving cautiously so I wouldn't fall into his trap like Mr Thomas had. Right. My brother had been cruel enough to abduct him, even make men pull out his fingernails. The memory of it was ugly, seared into my mind. Annie was the last to find out, and she hadn't stopped crying once she did. It was my rehearsal dinner, a day meant to be filled with laughter and love. But my brother made it a gloomy day filled with unresolved anger and trauma. That was so Ryker. Wherever he went, he created chaos behind. But the whole incident made one thing painfully clear: Ryker didn't care about faces, status, or family ties. Anyone who crossed Vanessa wasn't going to escape his wrath. Still... maybe there was time. I just needed to reach Vanessa. Be

  • After Divorce, I Married His Half-Brother   Chapter 73. Slutty, aren’t you?

    I stumbled away from the table and out of the hall, my head swimming with wine and the heated words that still echoed in my ears as I walked over to the back where everyone else was partying. The warm night air hit me, and I thought it might sober me up a little, but it didn't. The world was tilting sideways. I blinked, trying to focus, and then my eyes landed on a shadowed corner.My stomach dropped when I saw him.My father.He was sitting alone, shoulders hunched, hands on his knees, staring into space. But when our eyes met, something strange happened—he didn't sneer, or walk over to me to bark insults like he would have done. Instead, he looked away sharply, like he'd been caught doing something he shouldn't.My gaze drifted down to his hands. There were several blisters, red and new, lining his fingers. My brows knitted together in confusion. These blisters weren't there the previous day when he slapped me. What changed?Before I knew it, I was walking over."What... what happe
