His thumbs brushed away the tears on my cheeks, slow and warm, like he wanted to erase every trace of my fear. His voice dipped lower, softer, almost coaxing.

"Vanessa... look at me."

I tried not to, but my eyes lifted anyway, like he'd hooked something deep inside me and tugged.

"You're shaking," he said quietly.

"No, I'm not."

"You are." His thumb traced my jaw, slow, reassuring. "You're scared.”

My eyes dropped, unable to hold the weight of his stare. But he lifted my chin with a

  • After Divorce, I Married His Half-Brother   Chapter 115. Loving You In Every Lifetime

    RYKER _ _ It was happening. I stood at the altar, Miles at my side, my gaze fixed on the end of the hall. Waiting for her. My chest felt tight. A clash of nerves, anticipation, and something close to calm, which made no damn sense. I needed to see her. To touch her. To get this done before my patience snapped. "Relax," Miles murmured under his breath. "You're shaking." I huffed out a short laugh, blinking hard. No way in hell was I losing control in front of a room full of people. "I'm fine," I muttered. My voice came out rough, barely there. "But why isn't she coming out?" He snorted. "Because you're impatient. Brides don't just appear." "They should." "Why?" "Because—" I stopped short. Miles straightened. "Well. Damn. There she is." My head snapped up instantly. And everything else disappeared. For a second, I forgot how to breathe. Fuck. She stood there in white, wrapped in a veil that immediately pissed me off because it hid her face. I wa

  • After Divorce, I Married His Half-Brother   Chapter 114. Lilac Mason

    LILAC _ _ I was a terrible mother, no questions asked. As I stared at Ryker's wedding invitation card that came in that morning, I had to admit that I knew little about my son. I hadn't even realized he'd grown up this much. He was getting married. He wasn't the boy who used to stay in the kitchen with me while I served the Hollands. The boy I watched from afar, who tended to his wounds on his own. The boy I couldn't face knowing I failed him and I could never protect him from our harsh reality or the bullies. Not because I wanted to intentionally neglect him, but because I was too fixated on his father. I hoped that if Luke saw me every time, if my presence near him could help him remember his promises to me, maybe he would finally do the right thing for my son and me. Because I knew Ryker deserved better than being called a mistake, an illegitimate child, and the son of a mistress. I wanted to take that stain off my boy. I wanted to do everything I could t

  • After Divorce, I Married His Half-Brother   Chapter 113. The Prenup Ruined Everything

    LUKE _ _ I failed my son. It finally dawned on me that I had tainted my son's life without even knowing. My Ryker. He was never a mistake. I loved him even though I might be bad at showing it to him most times. I've never favored Derek more. If asked, it would always be Ryker. Because Ryker came to the world as my miracle. My salvation. One that Derek could never replace. His mere presence in my life wiped my shame. His presence helped shake off the pressure my family meted out to me. But that didn't change the fact that he was born to my wife's personal maid. And that—that was the mistake I made. Not him. Lilac. The beautiful maid with the doe eyes. She was so effortlessly beautiful even when doing the most tiring job. Her presence always pulled my attention—mostly away from my wife—to her. Catherine was already losing it during that period, she was always having mood swings due to her inability to have a child. Catherine would often snap at me, use harsh w

  • After Divorce, I Married His Half-Brother   Chapter 112. I’ll Eat You In The Basement

    It took more than an hour to pacify Ryker to let go of Miles’s collar. A few officers came out to separate them from killing each other. Or more like—stopping Ryker from killing Miles. “I agreed to come knowing she would have come here anyway with or without me. Isn’t it better that I was here to keep her safe than decline and have her come here alone?” Miles groaned. Ryker glared at him one last time, huffed and grabbed my arm before pulling me towards the car. Okay, maybe that worked. I turned slightly and squeezed out a small smile at Miles and mouthed. “Sorry” Miles snorted back in return before heading to his car, which was parked on the other side. “Smile at that motherfucker again and see how he’d look with his face burnt like a steak.” Ryker’s voice came. Sharp and cold. Filled with that underlying jealousy. “I wasn’t smiling at him.” “Shut up.” He pulled the front door open and grumbled. “Get your ass in the car, Vanessa.” I chuckled while he maintained

  • After Divorce, I Married His Half-Brother   Chapter 111. Ryker Will Have Me Grilled

    VANESSA __ __ "Ryker will kill me if he finds out I agreed to this sick plan of yours." Miles cursed multiple times under his breath beside me. I threw him a single glance and whispered back. "I'll tell him I forced you to come along with me. Don't worry, you'll be okay." After saying that, I leaned back on the iron chair, fingers clutching my bag placed on my lap. "You think it's that simple, huh?" Miles scoffed. "I brought his pregnant fiancée to see her ex-husband. That's a blasphemous act for someone like Ryker." "You're exaggerating this." I rolled my eyes, turned back to see if Derek was coming but there was no sign of him yet. "He's a prisoner now. Not like we went to his house or something." "Still doesn't change the fact that I'm about to be grilled alive by Ryker." "You can just stand outside and wait till I'm done, you know?" Miles threw me a glare. "So that crazy son of a motherfucker can sneak up on you and hurt you? That'll be double offense on my

  • After Divorce, I Married His Half-Brother   Chapter 110. Punish Me Instead

    My father spoke up again, cracking through the crisis rolling in my head. This time, his voice had lost its edge. It was more subtle and low, almost like he was trying to placate a kid. A kid that shouldn’t have had to carry so many grudges rooted in the darkest pit of his soul. “Take it out on me instead, Ryker. You don’t have to do all of these. You don’t have to go to these extremes to break a person. Punish me instead. I was the one who brought you into this world. I intentionally didn’t give your mother a title and let her stay as a stained mistress and made you an illegitimate son. Just…leave them out of this. Please.” He was pleading. Telling me to let go. While it should be a pitiful sight to witness, it only provoked me instead. And the first thing that came to mind was; He’s choosing them again. Dad would always shield his ‘real’ family. Over me. Over whatever he thought he had with my mother. It would never be us. He would rather take a blow for those two. Hell, he

    > __ __ A few hours into our arrival at the welcome party, we were called up to the stage along with some other guests. Dancing has never been my thing. But Vanessa wanted to join. She was probably filled with too much energy to burn, and I couldn't sit back and watch her dance

    ~ A Few Days Later ~ We boarded Ryker’s private Jet from Brooklyn to San Francisco. On our arrival, Ryker had to book a small charter flight from San Francisco to Napa airport. It was quick and convenient. The warm, golden sunlight spilled through the windows, resting on my face all through the

    “Two days.”His voice was steady, but something in it felt restrained, like he was holding back more than he was saying.I blinked, trying to process it. “Two days?”He nodded. “You passed out with a fever. The doctor had to keep watch overnight. I thought…” He stopped, rubbing a hand along his jaw

    >__My head felt like it had been stuffed with fog. It was heavy, like it carried weight. The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the ceiling, bright light spilling across it and it made me groan under my breath as I tried to adjust my eyes to the contrast. Then, I sens
