ELOISE

I was still stunned by the abrupt announcement of my "husband." Even if he was doing it for a show, shouldn't he have given me a heads-up beforehand?

What's with these sudden shocks of him!?

The absurd thrill from the auction floor was still singing in my veins as I excused myself to the washroom.

I desperately need a moment to catch my breath and wash the lingering heat from my face.

I splashed water on my face and slowly dried it, not disturbing my makeup, before gazing at myself t

    Leo's Mother?... Eloise glanced at the back of the cold, distant man.Does that mean there was more than just family disputes?She knows there was a deep-seated grudge between the brothers, but she didn't know how deep it was.Could Damien and his family have anything to do with Leo's mother? Did they hurt her, or something?... She thought. But her thoughts paused and broke when Abraham hung up. Immediately, she rushed to the bed and pulled the duvet over her just as he entered the room.She closed her eyes, forcing her breathing to become steady as though she had been sleeping all along.Abraham returned to bed and slipped beside her, pulling her into his arms once more. He dropped a soft kiss on her neck. "I'll not let them touch you ever again." His warm whisper rang as a silent promise in her ear. Her fingers clenched tightly as she laid there almost dead. She didn't dare to move. However, soon, his breathing on her neck turned steady. "Did he fall asleep?" she thought, but

  • Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother    53. Leo's mother

    Eloise stared at the man in a daze. Did he just confess? She didn't understand at all. Her lips parted and then closed. She couldn't utter a single word. The entire day's exhaustion finally took over, and she felt too haggard even to use a single brain cell.Looking down at her tired eyes, the dark, predatory hunger in Abraham’s eyes instantly softened, melting into something fiercely protective.Even though he wanted to, he didn't push his advantage, and he didn't lean in to claim the kiss that was practically begging to happen between them.Instead, with a single, swift movement, he effortlessly picked her up into his arms.A soft gasp tore through her lips, her hands instinctively wrapped around his neck for balance as he carried her away. "Abraham, wait... put me down. I ca-an walk!""You can barely stand," his voice rumbled. "You need to rest."With Eloise in his arms, he stepped into the massive, dimly lit bedroom and laid her down gently. “If this goes on for a few more mi

  • Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother    52. It was not an act.

    “My wife and I… are absolutely in love.” Abraham walked inside. A smug grin tugged at the corner of her lips.He was still slightly disheveled from before. His sharp green eyes swept the room once, gazing at Miller, then swiftly landed on Eloise. Immediately, his cold gaze softened. Eloise blinked. When did he return? How much did he listen? Questions swirled within her mind.He walked in slowly. “Agent Miller,” he said, his voice calm enough to be polite, but there was nothing polite underneath it.“I see, you're here entertaining my wife.” He stopped right behind his wife. His arms locked firmly around her waist and pulled her back against his chest in a way that looked as if she belonged there.Eloise froze for a second, her breath caught at the sudden closeness, but she forced herself to stay in character, even as her mind screamed at how his closeness tickled her stomach.But what he did next left her rendered speechless… Abraham lowered his head and pressed a sudden kiss to

    Miller's eyes flickered once toward the oversized blazer hanging off her shoulders that she had arrived in.“I appreciate you taking the time to speak with me,” he continued dryly. “Though judging by the situation downstairs, I assume the welcoming committee didn’t exactly leave you much time to recover.”Eloise froze instantly.Even through the exhaustion clouded her brain, years of survival instinct kicked in fast. Every warning bell in her head started screaming at once.“Internal Affairs?” she repeated carefully. “Look, Agent, if this is about the mess at the airport, my husband is already dealing with it. A federal judge is involved now. We’ve done nothing wrong.”Miller gave a small smile, though there was nothing friendly about it."Oh, this has nothing to do with Prosecutor Demoor's corruption disaster," his words were very calm, and that honestly was scaring me.I'm on the very edge of calling Abraham, but he was in a meeting with the barrister, right? Besides, asking for h

  • Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother    50. The tables were turned

    “There are wire transfers, private messages, shell companies… everything’s here!”“These payments trace back to her!”“The prosecutor took bribes?!”“No way—”In no time, the tables were turned.Just seconds ago, Abraham had been the target.Now every camera slowly began turning toward Victoria instead…“Hey! Hold on!” a cameraman yelled to his producer. “Are you seeing this live feed?! Pull up the document link right now!”“Oh my God… the files trace back to her office computer.”“She fabricated the entire money-laundering trail!”...On live television, the press completely turned on Victoria like a pack of starved wolves, abandoning Abraham entirely as they surged against the metal barricades.“Prosecutor Demoor! Did you accept bribes to falsify this investigation?!”“Look at the camera! look at the camera! Are federal corruption charges being prepared against you right now?!”“Did you abuse your office to target the Argos Empire?!”“Who else inside the department was involved?!”Th

  • Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother    49. Live a little, Chairman.

    Eloise’s eyes went wide. The sudden kiss turned her completely numb. Abraham's handsome face was practically zoomed before her eyes. Her heartbeat was so fast that she felt she might collapse at any moment.Abraham's restraint broke at that moment, and he wanted more. His grip tightened around her waist, pulling her closer, only for her to gasp.Taking the chance, he deepened the kiss, which made her knees weak.She couldn't help it anymore and was soon drawn to his magnificent pull.The soft kiss suddenly turned wild, and both people were lost in each other until the sharp click of the lock echoed through the private jet, breaking them apart. The air between them became hot and painfully tense. For one reckless second, both of them were left panting hard.There was nothing planned about the way his mouth had crashed against hers, nor her fingers had twisted into his hair.It was raw, real and achingly pleasurable. Yet neither of them had even a second to deal with it.Before Elois
