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.

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother   Chapter 133: We're Close For The Day

    MEEKA'S POV::My phone gi harsh, buzzing rattle across the wooden desk right as my thumb hovers over the send button on a long-winded email.I drop my hand and stare down at the screen, already bracing myself. Honestly, I’m fully expecting another text from my main fabric supplier, probably writing some long excuse about why my delivery date is getting pushed back again—because now it's obvious to me that dead-on-arrival deadlines are just cute little suggestions they feel comfortable tossing out the window.Only, it isn’t my supplier.It’s an unmapped string of numbers sitting on my screen with a message that makes my stomach drop.~*Congratulations on the launch, Meeka. I hear things are going really well.~*I read it once, blinking. I literally lean all the way back into the leather of my chair, staring up at the ceiling tiles while my brain tries to digest the nerve of it all.Nathaniel.Of course it’s Nathaniel. I mean, who else would pull a stunt like this?The guy literally sho

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother   Chapter 132: Why On Earth

    “All right,” I say, sitting up taller and pulling the laptop back toward me. “We need to audit our production capacity right now, double-check our fabric stock, and map out the absolute ceiling of what we can handle.”Nora nods, her expression suddenly turning all business.“Got it.”“And you need to call that supplier immediately.”“Oh, absolutely.”“And be nice about it, Nora.”Her face immediately falls. “Okay, now you're pushing your luck.”“Nora, please.”“Fine. I’ll use my customer-service voice.”I laugh, feeling some of the heavy tension break, and dive right back into the work.For the next hour, we don't come up for air.Nora chases down suppliers while I tear through my cost sheets, flagging the pieces that drew the highest crowd interest and locking down a solid game plan for Friday.It isn't glamorous. There are no champagne flutes clinking, no flashes going off, no one whispering about how talented I am either.Just raw, grinding work. And strangely enough, I love every s

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother   Chapter 131: Is It A Man

    MEEKA'S POV::By nine the next morning, I’m already sitting at my workspace having figured out three very annoying truths.First, success is ridiculously expensive.Second, sleep is apparently a luxury reserved for people who don't have panicked suppliers to chase down, invoices staring them right in the face, and a million micro-decisions waiting for them the exact second their eyes pop open.And third, Nora is quite literally the worst person to have around when I’m desperately trying to look like a focused, professional boss.“You're glaring at that inbox like it badly offended you.”I tear my eyes away from the screen and look up at her.“I'm trying to figure out why a fabric supplier who promised me delivery on Monday has suddenly decided that Thursday is a totally reasonable substitute.”“Maybe Monday and Thursday mean the exact same thing in his time zone.”“Nora.”“What? I'm just trying to expand your worldview and help you appreciate cultural nuances.”I give her a completely

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother   Chapter 130: Congratulations, Meeka

    I know Rafe’s baseline habits better than I know my own reflection at this point. The guy is practically carved out of marble—observant, entirely composed, and impossible to distract with anything short of a physical emergency or a direct threat to his schedule. He’s the kind of guy who can stand in a packed, deafening room and look like he’s calculating chess moves three steps ahead while everyone else is just scrambling for canapés.Yet, right here, and right now, he’s standing frozen with a gin and tonic in his hand that hasn’t seen a sip in ten minutes, staring dead-ahead at a woman who hasn’t even spared him a single glance.I don’t say anything right away. I just stand back, leaning against a velvet-draped pillar, and watch him.He doesn't blink for even a second. He just keeps staring.I clear my throat, loud enough to rattle the ice in my glass, but there's absolute silence from his end. Nothing at all, because he’s completely locked in a trance.“Rafael,” I say, keeping my v

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother   Chapter 129:: Interesting To Witness

    My gaze snaps back to her just as she begins to turn on her heel toward the main entrance. And that is the exact millisecond she sees me.There is no guessing when it happens. I can track the exact shift in the air.Her welcoming smile falters and stalls midway across her face. Her slender fingers tighten instinctively around the ceramic cup she's holding, and for one suspended, breathless second, she looks as though she's completely forgotten how to breathe, let alone what she was about to say to the person standing next to her.The low ambient roar of the party continues to swirl around us, as our eyes lock across the crowded room, but to my ears, it drops to a dead, absolute hush.Now there is the woman I have spent the last countless agonizing days trying desperately not to reach for. The woman whose lingering absence has haunted me into every empty hotel suite, every late-night strategy session, and every cold morning when I woke up with the phantom urge to tell her something fun

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother   Chapter 128: About What She Wants

    And now, look at her laughing. Working, thriving, and living her actual life.My chest tightens, but not with the sharp, acidic sting I half-expected to feel. There is no bitterness left in my throat. No ugly resentment clawing at my ribs.There is only this overwhelming, dizzying wave of sheer relief.She is okay.Hell, she isn't just okay, she is radiant. She is building something extraordinary out of the wreckage of her past.I watch as she graciously thanks the customer before pivoting to address one of her floor assistants. She points a slender finger toward a clothing rack, issues a quiet instruction I'm too far away to catch, and patiently waits while the younger woman rearranges the display.Meeka studies the new arrangement with an expression of such intense, fierce concentration that a slow, involuntary smile tugs at the corner of my own mouth.Some things never change.She is still meticulously particular. Still hyper-observant. Still utterly convinced that if something in

    MEEKA'S POV::My soul has yet to return to my body. I’m frozen, not moving or breathing, just staring straight ahead, my trembling hands clinging to the wheel as if letting go would send us tumbling into space.The noise of the cheering crowd finally breaks through, and I’m jolt

  • Craved By My Fiance's Brother   Chapter 66: Nathaniel Was Tracking Me

    The drive to Meeka’s place is even quieter than the night itself.She’s slumped in the passenger seat, buried in the jacket I practically forced onto her the second she stopped shaking enough to walk. Her hands are tucked deep into the sleeves, like she’s trying to disappear inside the fabric. Sin

    "Meeka."Hearing my real name stops me in my tracks.Even though I’m still angry with him, I dislike that he called me that. I wish he understood just how much I’ve come to hate it when he uses my name instead of the other one he calls me, and hearing it now only tightens something in my chest.I l

It’s not just the realization; it’s the memory that slams into the back of my mind immediately after.My fingers curl into m
