BETRAYED BY MY HUSBAND, LOVED BY HIS BROTHER 124
Kendra’s fingers tightened around the pen.She lowered the tip toward the paper.“Stop.” The voice came from somewhere behind them and Kendra froze.For one second, she thought she had imagined it.Then Langston’s face changed.The colour drained from it so quickly that Kendra slowly lifted her head.The sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the warehouse.Emily’s eyes widened.“No…” she whispered.Kendra turned toward the entrance.The large metal doors were pushed open.And there he was.Knox, what?Her heart stopped beating for a second, she couldn't believe her eyes.He stood at the entrance, one hand pressed against his side as he tried to catch his breath. His face was pale, his hair slightly dishevelled, and there was still something fragile about him that reminded her he wasn't supposed to be out of the hospital.Sean stood beside him, breathing heavily, one hand gripping Knox's shoulder.“Knox,” Kendra whispered. “How did you know we were here and when did you…oh my God,

Kendra sat on the driver’s seat in her car later that afternoon, the thick folder Elena had brought still warm from the house. She set her handbag on the passenger seat and sat for a moment with both hands on the wheel, staring through the windscreen at the long driveway. Emily has not appeared once. Not at breakfast, not in the hallway, not even a quick text.She reached into the bag, pulled out her phone, and dialed Emily’s number. It rang once and went straight to the switched-off message. She tried again and it's the same result.“Emily’s number is switched off,” she whispered. “So strange.”She scrolled to Mrs Green’s contact and pressed call. The older woman answered on the second ring.“Aunt, please...is Emily at your place?”“No, darling. I haven’t seen her all day. Hope everything is fine with the both of you.”“Yeah...yeah.” Kendra hung up before Mrs Green could ask more. The empty mansion, the sudden forgiveness from her grandmother, Emily is nowhere to be found—everythi

The next morning Kendra stood in front of the tall mirror in her big expensive closet, fastening the last button of the denim shorts-skirt jumpsuit she had chosen without thinking. The fabric sat close at the waist and flared a little at the thighs; it felt like something she would have worn on an ordinary day, before everything broke her. She picked up her comb and drew it through her hair, slow strokes from root to end. Combing her hair alone did it, it brought back memories she didn't want anymore. Knox used to stand behind her sometimes and take the comb from her hands, teasing that she rushed the ends. Fate didn't give time to make more of those small, ordinary things. She wanted more. That last afternoon, the one that ended in twisted metal and sirens, she said it out loud. “I want us to create more memories,” she told him. “Take pictures. Claim each other. Be together.” Knox looked at her like the words were already a vow. “I want us to do everything and be together

“Hey, good news!”Sean’s excited voice came through the phone.Emily immediately reached for her phone and placed the call on speaker.“What good news?” she asked.There was a brief pause before Sean answered, sounding far too pleased with himself.“Well, I’ll be back in Italy soon.”The excitement on Kendra’s face disappeared almost instantly.Emily’s expression fell too.For the past six months, every unexpected piece of news had somehow been connected to Knox. They had spent months worrying about him, hoping for updates, praying that something would change.So when Sean said he had good news, Kendra had naturally assumed it had something to do with Knox.Instead, it was about Sean coming back to Italy.Emily stared at the phone in disbelief.“That’s your good news?” she muttered.Kendra climbed off the bed without saying anything and walked toward the bathroom. She opened the door and disappeared inside before quietly shutting it behind her.Emily picked up the phone and held it ag

Six months had passed since the accident that shattered everything.Kendra had been discharged from the hospital two months earlier, her body finally pronounced fully recovered. The bruises had faded, the stitches had long since dissolved, and the doctors had signed off on every test. Physically, she was whole again. Emotionally, she was still in pieces.Emily and her parents had insisted on moving her back to the family mansion the moment she was cleared. Kendra hadn’t argued. The thought of returning to her apartment—where she and Knox had first begun, where every corner still held the echo of his voice and the imprint of his hands—felt unbearable. Staying there alone while he remained unconscious somewhere on the other side of the world would have broken her completely. So she let them bring her home, to the large, quiet house that now felt more like a soft prison than a sanctuary.She rarely left her room. Business meetings were conducted from her laptop, camera carefully ang

Richard's hand froze where it rested on Freya's waist and Freya pulled away from the kiss. Freya's face drained of color when she saw Kendra, she stood up from his laps and Richard immediately stood from his chair. "Kendra—" Kendra simply stared at both of them, the sight before her should have

Richard grabbed Kendra's wrist and pulled her into the bedroom.She stumbled forward from the force of it, catching herself before she could fall and the door slammed shut behind them."What was that out there?" Richard demanded, his voice sharp with anger. "What kind of stunt were you trying to pu

The moment Richard realized how tightly he was gripping her wrist, his expression changed. His fingers loosened immediately. "Did I hurt you?" he asked, his voice softening. "I'm sorry. I was worried. You left the mansion without telling anyone." Kendra stared at him. The concern in his eyes
