SLADE’S POV::

She’s gone.

The door slammed a while ago, but the echo’s still hanging in the room like smoke.

The woman she chased out has long disappeared, her perfume fading into nothing, yet somehow the place still feels charged, like static after lightning.

I’m still sitting in the same damn spot, shirt unbuttoned halfway, a drink sweating in my hand.

My lips twitch, but it's not quite a smile.

She called me disgusting. She didn’t even flinch when she said it.

For someone who swears she does

    Nora doesn’t even wait for me to sit properly before she leans forward, her eyes sharp with curiosity. From the DeWitt, I headed straight to her place. Because right now I'm not even in the mood to go home.“So,” she starts, dragging the word out, “how was the dinner with your soon-to-be father-in-law?”A hollow laugh slips out of me before I can stop it. I drop my bag onto the couch and sink beside it, rubbing a hand over my face.“It was a total disaster.”Nora’s brows shoot up immediately. “Oh my God. Was it that bad?” She scoots closer. “Tell me everything. Were they interrogating you? Asking too many questions? Or was Mr. DeWitt doing that whole intimidating rich-man thing?”I let out a long, tired sigh, my head falling back against the couch. My mind starts reeling as I process everything that happened the last few hours I spent in that mansion.“Honestly? That would have been better.”She blinks. “Wait… what?”I turn my head slowly to look at her, something between disbelief a

    “You’ve always been like this, taking what isn’t yours just to prove you can.” Nathaniel spits, his calm finally cracking. “Stay the hell away from Meeka. I’m warning you, Slade. And I’m not going to repeat myself again.”“And you know I’m not in the habit of taking orders from you or anyone,” Slade replies, his voice smooth as ever. “So that works out nicely for both of us.”“Stay. Away. From. My. Fiancee.” Nathaniel warns, counting and meaning every word he lets out. “Touch her again and I’ll destroy you, Slade. Both financially, legally and publicly. I’ll ruin you so completely you won’t even recognize what’s left. I'll expose every little, dirty illegal shitty thing you do in secrets. And I'll make sure to ruin that clean reputation you think you're trying to build.”“I have everything I need to ruin you too,” Slade counters, his voice dropping into a deadly, quiet register. “And unlike you, I don't care if I burn the whole house and everyone down to do it. You’re playing a game y

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother (An Erotic Billionaire Romance   Chapter 081: When She Forgets Your Name Exists

    MEEKA'S POV::I excuse myself as soon as I can without making it obvious I’m running. My legs feel unsteady as I push back from the table and murmur something about needing the restroom. Nathaniel gives me a quick, concerned glance, his hand brushing my wrist like he’s trying to anchor me there, but I slip away before he can say anything more. The guilt almost hits me right away, but it leaves before it can even form. Honestly, I'm still trying to understand his sudden attitude towards me lately. He suddenly seems to care, and even has time for me, unlike the ‘busy’ him I've known since I can remember.He’s been trying to be good to me, clearly trying to protect the future we’re supposed to have, and here I am, already halfway lost to his brother. Which I don't even give a damn about anymore.The second the restroom door clicks shut behind me, I finally breathe.Not the polite, measured breaths I’ve been forcing at the table, b

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother (An Erotic Billionaire Romance   Chapter 080: Future-Sister-In-Law

    I put the phone back down and try to listen to Mr. DeWitt. He’s talking about partnerships and numbers, and our upcoming wedding, ofcourse, but none of it sticks. Not when Slade is sitting right there.“So, Rebel—I mean, Meeka.”I freeze again. This time, he isn't being subtle. He cuts right through whatever his father was saying. Mr. DeWitt stops mid-sentence. His mother’s fork hovers in the air. Slade leans back in his chair, looking way too comfortable. “We haven’t heard much from you tonight,” he says. His tone is casual, but his eyes are intense. “You’ve been very quiet. Everything alright?”My chest feels tight, like it's being tied with a rope, as everyone turns to look at me.“I'm alright. I’ve just been listening,” I say, trying to stay composed. “Mm,” he hums. “You seem like someone who has a lot of opinions, though.”This is so dangerous. “I do,” I say carefully. “Then give us one,” he presses, leaning an elbow on the table. “What do you think about all this?”“All thi

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother (An Erotic Billionaire Romance   Chapter 079: Forget Where We Are

    MEEKA’S POV::Dinner starts exactly the way I knew it would. It's controlled, precise and suffocating the hell out of me.The clink of silver against china is way too loud in the silence. Everyone’s talking in these perfectly polished sentences, like they’ve been rehearsing their lines all day and I’m the only one who didn’t get the script. Nathaniel is right next to me, as steady as a rock, safe and predictable as always. Across from us, Mr. DeWitt is running the show, steering the conversation from business deals to family alliances like he’s conducting an orchestra.And me? I’m just playing my part. I nod when I’m supposed to. I smile on cue and only speak when someone asks me a direct question. I’m being the perfect fiancée—exactly what they want.For a second, I actually start to relax, realizing soon that there’s one person missing. One person whom they often say usually ruins everything. Slade.He’s not her

    The second text pops up right under the first one:**~ Sexy Devil: I can still taste you on my tongue, Rebel. That sweet little whimper you made when I finally took back control… Fuck, I’m hard just thinking about it. You’ve had your fun wrecking the devil. Now it’s my turn. When next I see you, make sure to wear something easy to rip off. ~**A sharp breath escapes me before I can stop it. Heat pools low in my belly, instant and traitorous, making my thighs clench together under the emerald dress. The silk suddenly feels too tight, and too warm against my skin. I can practically hear his low, rough voice dripping with that dangerous confidence that always manages to unravel me.God, that man is impossible.Even now, while trying to pick the perfect dress for a proper family dinner with my “fiancé” and his powerful family, all I can think about is Slade.He wants me badly.And you know the part that scares me most? I want him rig

    MEEKA'S POV::If someone had told me that I would find myself behind a nightclub, staring at neon-lit race cars as if I had fallen through a glitch in reality, I would have advised them to drink some water and get some rest. Yet, here I am.The engines roar, the crowd buzzes wit

    "Where are you going?” Nora asks as I suddenly turn away from the dance floor, pushing my way through the crowd, my heels clicking sharply against the tiles.“Mom’s calling,” I mutter. “This place is way too loud to answer.”I don’t wait for her response. I just keep walking.
