Nathaniel’s Pov

I raised an eyebrow, about to ask what the problem was, however, the moment she stepped into the light, my chest tightened, and my brows pulled together into a deep, furious frown.

One side of her cheek was completely swollen. The skin was puffy, tight, and a faint, ugly shade of yellowish-purple was already beginning to bloom beneath her hasty layer of concealer. It was clear, someone had hit her across the face. And it wasn't just her cheek, the corners of her eyes were e

  • Claimed By My Best Friend's Brother    Chapter 61- Home

    Nathaniel's Pov A wave of intense relief and satisfaction washed over me. The trap was set, and she had walked right into it, completely unaware that she was the only woman I had ever wanted in my life. “Good,” I said, my voice dropping to a lower, gentler register. I stood up from the pavement and extended my hand to her. She looked at my palm for a second before placing her cold hands in mine. I gripped it firmly, pulling her up from the sidewalk. The moment she stood on her feet, she winced sharply, her face contorting in pain as her hand flew straight to her left side. My eyes narrowed immediately. The warmth in my chest vanished, replaced by an instant, dangerous spike of anger. “Are you hurt? What’s wrong with your side?” “Oh this?” She looked down and shrugged, “It's nothing, just a little scratch.” “You…” “It's a little cold here and my legs are pretty numb.” She complained, staring at me. I knew that look, it was the look she gave whenever she didn't want to

  • Claimed By My Best Friend's Brother    Chapter 60- Closed Deal

    Nathaniel's Pov “My girlfriend. I want you to be my girlfriend.” I watched her eyes widen in shock, her mouth flying open. She didn't expect this, and neither did I. When I saw her sitting at the roadside, looking so listless, I didn't know what to do. After she left, I found out what happened through an investigator. They had shown me the video of how she was humiliated in front of everyone, especially the man she was in love with; my brother. I felt like rushing over to wherever he was to strangle him alive. I knew that there was something going on between Katherine and Damon but I didn't want to check it myself because I could see the way she acted whenever I asked, but after yesterday night, I just couldn't wait anymore. I had to check. But what I didn't know is that she would be asked to leave her dorm room. Even though this woman has slept with me before, hearing her offer to do it again so that I could help her made my heart burn with anger. Ever since I saw

  • Claimed By My Best Friend's Brother    Chapter 59- Help Me

    Katherine's Pov “Miss, aren't you alighting? We're here already.” The taxi driver's voice brought me out of my thoughts. I was about to ask him to take me back, anywhere other than here but from the look he was already giving me, I could tell that he was starting to get annoyed. Also, I couldn't waste any more money. So I just dropped and took my suitcases from the trunk. The taxi drove away, leaving me standing alone on the quiet, empty sidewalk with my suitcases. Why did I come here? Why did my brain choose this place out of all the places in the city? Nathaniel. The man who was confusing, arrogant, and yet… the only person who had shown me a strange kind of protection over the last few days. But I couldn't just show up at his house like a stray dog. He would probably mock me. Even with those thoughts, I brought out my phone, my hands shaking slightly. I opened my messaging app and scrolled down until I found Nathaniel’s name. I opened our message inbox and started to type

  • Claimed By My Best Friend's Brother    Chapter 58- Pretender

    Katherine's Pov A hot, stinging wave of intense humiliation rushed through my entire body. My face felt like it was on fire. Tears started to gather around my eyes, blurring my vision, but I clenched my jaw and forced myself to swallow the sob rising in my throat. I refused to cry in front of them. I refused to let them see me break down completely. “Look at her,” a voice whispered from a few feet away. “That’s the girl from the video.” “Wow, they actually threw her stuff out like trash.” “Serves her right. She’s a slut anyway. A pretender. Acting all innocent when she’s doing stuff like that.” The words cut through me like but I forced myself to move. I couldn't just stand here and let them mock me. Slowly, I dropped to my knees and began to pack my stuff back into one place. My hands were shaking so badly that I could barely grip my clothes. I gathered the jeans and shirts that had been thrown to the ground, wiping the dust off them before shoving them messily into the open s

  • Claimed By My Best Friend's Brother    Chapter 57- Embarrassed

    Katherine's Pov My heart stopped. Panic flared up inside me, “No! Please, wait!” I begged, scrambling out of the bed. I stood up, my hands shaking as I looked at Mrs. Lucinda. “Please don't do that. Don't let them touch my things. I’ll leave right now, I swear! Just give me a few hours. I will pack everything myself. I won't cause any trouble, I promise you. Just please don't throw my things out.” “You should have packed them and left yesterday instead of trying to act funny and hiding in here,” Lucinda said, her face completely expressionless. “You thought you could sneak around the rules, didn't you? Well, it doesn't work that way. Move out of the way.” The three security men didn't hesitate. They marched past Mrs. Lucinda and walked straight toward my closet and my desk. “Stop! Please, stop!” I cried out, rushing forward to try and block them. I grabbed the arm of the closest security guard, trying to pull him away from my clothes. “Don't touch my stuff! Please!” But I was no

  • Claimed By My Best Friend's Brother    Chapter 56- Leave!

    Katherine's Pov BANG! BANG! BANG! I jolted awake, my heart hammering wildly against my ribs. The sound was deafening. It wasn't a normal knock; it sounded like someone was trying to break the door down. The morning sun was pouring into the room, making my eyes sting. I sat up quickly, looking around. Beside me, Brittany groaned, rubbing her eyes, startled by the noise. I looked across the room and noticed Isabella was already awake. She was sitting on her bed, fully dressed, with a smug, knowing smirk on her face. She didn't look surprised by the noise at all. In fact, she looked like she had been waiting for it. Suddenly, a really bad feeling washed over me. My stomach dropped into a cold, empty pit. It was the exact same feeling I got right before everything went downhill with the video. BANG! BANG! “Open this door right now!” a harsh voice shouted from the hallway. “What the hell is going on?” Brittany muttered, looking angry as she threw the blanket off her legs. She got

    Katherine's Pov “A… A slut?” I stammered, my eyes wide, “Did you just call me a slut?” The girl rolled her eyes, the smirk on her lips becoming wider, “A slut knows when they're a slut. Why? Do you think you aren't one? Wow.” The girl laughed and the other girls behind her laughed as well, their

    Katherine’s POV “Where the hell are you Katherine? Immediately you see this message, call me and if possible don't come to school today. Stay in the dorm room.” The voice message from Brittany echoed in my ears as I ran out of the hotel and into a taxi that was passing by. My heart was pounding

    Katherine’s POV“Fuck me. Please.”The words came out quieter than I meant them to, but they were clear enough. I stayed bent over the desk, my cheek pressed against the cool surface, too ashamed to look back at him. My legs felt unsteady already, and the longer Nathaniel stood behind me without mo

    Nathaniel’s POV Her breath hitched. “You want to know what else I noticed?” I leaned in, mouth brushing the shell of her ear. “The second I came down your throat, your thighs pressed together like you were trying not to drip on my floor.” She shook her head, but it was weak. “You…” “Shh.” My ha
