Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother 26. We look good together
ABRAHAM I took a sip of my coffee while my eyes were on the tablet before me. The photos were meticulously taken, leaving no room for doubt… The night in the hotel's parking area, in front of the county clerk's office, and of course, last night's banquet. "Someone was quite serious," I muttered, somewhat amused by whoever did this, though I have a hunch about that person. “We look quite good together.” I muttered in satisfaction. "Ahem," a throat-clearing sound distracted me. My gaze shifted to the man standing on the other side of the desk. “What? Do you not agree?” I arched a brow, challenging him to say a word against it. Marcus's neck lowered more. "I dare not, sir. Miss Ricardo has always been a perfect match for you.” Then, he slowly looked up. "However, it's about the comments. The netizens are enraged... specifically, at the matter of the child.” My brows furrowed with sheer displeasure. "Hmm, that's an issue.” I gazed at the screen again. The hea
Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother 25. The Banquet-II
ELOISE The words hit me like a physical blow. The room seemed to tilt. Clearly, she had hit on my greatest weakness. I opened my mouth to defend myself, but the words felt like broken glass in my throat. Selene stood there, a smug, triumphant glint in her eyes, waiting for me to crumble. She wanted the room to see me as the heartless social climber who was careless about her son. I didn't give her the satisfaction, though. Instead, I let the icy calm settle over me. Slowly, I took a deliberate sip of my champagne, and my lips twitched distastefully. “It’s interesting you bring up ‘incompetence,’ Miss Ricardo,” I said, my voice enough to catch the ears of the surrounding people. “What about you? Where'd you live for five years, leaving your whole family and fiancé behind?” “You've come back after five years to claim a life I built from scratch. Who do you think is the real desperate one?” Selene’s smirk faltered; her eyes blazed. If looks could kill, I would have

ELOISE The rest of the day passed without further drama. Although people had their eyes on me, no one really dared to bother me.Besides, my desk was moved. It was beside Assistant Marcus, right before the chairman's room, which was honestly quite peaceful…At exactly five-thirty. The door of the president's room swung open and Abraham Argos stepped out of the room. His mighty presence immediately sucked the air from the hallway. “It’s time,” he said, gazing at me. I was confused at first but recalled the banquet and hurriedly stood up.I changed into the midnight-blue gown he had practically commanded me to wear and followed him.Once inside the Maybach, the scent of expensive leather and Abraham's woody cologne wrapped around me.I tried to take deep breaths a few times, but something in me remained unsettled…"You're going to tear the silk if you keep doing that," Abraham's sudden voice startled me. My eyes snapped down and I realized my fingers were firmly clenched on the fabr

ELOISE "Mr. Argos!" Selene’s voice changed instantly, dropping into that sweet, breathy tone she reserved for men she wanted things from. "What a pleasant surprise. You're here as well?" I peered through a slight gap in the curtain. Selene was standing there, flanked by two other socialites who were busy eyeing Abraham like he was a prize on a pedestal. She was playing the "meek and sweet" card, tilting her head and looking up at him with wide, innocent eyes. "Mr. Argos," Selene continued, stepping closer to him, ignoring the fact that he was staring at his phone. "About this morning... I hope there’s no hard feelings, right? Family sticks together, after all." Abraham finally looked up. His gaze was the same: annoyed and indifferent. “Damien’s choices are his own, Miss Ricardo. I’m simply here on business." "Of course," she chirped, her smile faltered just a fraction. "Is Eloise here as well?" She looked around and instinctively I dropped the curtain more. "Elois

ELOISE The inside of the Maybach was alarmingly quiet. I pressed Abraham’s silk handkerchief against my face, the scent of sandalwood and cold rain acting as a sharp contrast to the metallic tang of my own fear. Suddenly , his phone rang, breaking the nerve wrecking silence. He pulled out his phone from his pocket, his expression shifted from stony indifference to something almost human. Who called? I wondered. "Hey, buddy," he said, his voice dropped lower. "Dad! Are you there? Turn on the camera!" Leo's voice erupted through the speakers, breathless and high-pitched with pure, unadulterated energy. Ah, so it's his son. Instinctively, I tried to shrink into the leather upholstery, but at that moment I felt that the car was too small to hide in. "I'm here, Leo. Keep your voice down, I'm in the car," Abraham countered, though there was no real bite in his tone. "Is new mommy there? Did you ask her? " Leo’s face suddenly popped onto the screen—a miniature version
Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother 21. A cruel discrimination!
ELOISE "Are you hurt?" His deep baritone rolled again instead of answering my question.“I…” I blinked, my senses started kicking in. My eyes looked past him toward the street, where the car had finally skidded to a halt. My heart shuddered, recalling the scene just a moment earlier. “I-I'm fine.” I managed to choke out, trying to free myself from his firm grip. My eyes darted her way. Seeing her fine and in her parents' arms relaxed me.Once the tension eased, my body trembled, and Mr. Argos steadied me again.“Are you sure?” His brows arched, questioning my previous answer. I forced out a breathless chuckle. “Yeah… I’m just glad she’s okay.”"Oh God, thank you! Thank you so much!" the woman cried, her voice cracking as they rushed toward us.The father's hand reached out to shake my hand, though he stopped short when he caught sight of the man standing behind me."Are you okay? Please, let me take you to the hospital!" the car driver stammered, his eyes darting from Abraham to
