Craved By My Fiance's Brother Chapter 117: Is That Fear?
NATHANIEL'S POV::By the time I pull up to the venue, the place is already completely overrun.Honestly, calling it a wedding venue feels like a stretch right now. It isn’t about love or romance or any of that—it’s just a sea of people. Wall-to-wall business associates, old family friends, bloodthirsty reporters, heavy-hitting investors, and politicians. Basically, every opportunistic climber who’s spent the last decade trying to crawl close enough to the DeWitt name to catch a stray crumb of influence.It’s an absolute circus, which means it's exactly the kind of crowd my father wanted.And, truth be told, it’s exactly what I expected.I open the car door, swing my legs out, and take a quick second to smooth down the cuff of my jacket. The moment my shoes hit the pavement, a barrage of flashbulbs goes off, blinding me for a fraction of a second.“Nathaniel! Over here!”“Look this way, Nathaniel!”“Congratulations, man!”I don't lose my composure for a second. I instantly flash them
Craved By My Fiance's Brother Chapter 116: Please Just Talk To Me
MEEKA'S POV::My eyes are burning so badly now it actually hurts. I tilt my head back, lifting my chin toward the dark, starlit sky, desperately trying to use gravity to keep the tears from spilling over. “Hold it together, Meeka. Do not do this.”But that doesn't work at all.A single, scalding tear breaks free, rolling slowly down my temple, tracking across my cheek, and slipping down my jaw before dripping straight onto my bare collarbone.I freeze. My fingers tremble as I reach up, touching the wet, damp spot on my skin.A second tear follows right behind it. Then a third.“Oh, God...” the whisper rips out of me.I lift both hands, frantically wiping at my cheeks. “No. Stop it. Stop it right now.”My voice cracks down the middle, high and broken. I let out a harsh, wet sniffle and slam the heels of my palms hard against my eyes, pressing until I see blinding spots of white light.I am not doing this. Not tonight. I refuse to cry over him on the eve of my wedding. Not when I’m st
Craved By My Fiance's Brother Chapter 115: Bouncing Off The Wall
“Well, sweetheart... you're supposed to be excited. You're supposed to be bouncing off the walls.”“I am excited.” She raises one single eyebrow at me, completely unbothered by my lie.I let my shoulders slump, dropping the mask for half a second. “Mom... please.”She moves closer and sits right on the edge of the mattress beside me. For the first time all week, she isn't barking out orders, or nagging me about seating arrangements, or telling me what time the hair and makeup team is pulling into the driveway tomorrow. She doesn't mention the wedding details at all.She just sits there, quietly looking at my face. And honestly? That hurts a hundred times worse than her nagging.“You look absolutely exhausted, sweetheart,” she says softly, her voice dipping into that rare, tender register she only uses when things are really bad.“I just... I've barely slept the last few nights.”“I know.” She reaches over, her hand gentle as she smooths a stray lock of hair away from my forehead, tuc
Craved By My Fiance's Brother Chapter 114: Your Wedding Is Tomorrow
MEEKA'S POV::The house is way too quiet tonight.Not completely silent, because honestly, this place is never totally dead. Downstairs, I can still hear the muffled thud of someone moving around, heavy footsteps on the hardwood, and the faint, low murmur of voices drifting down the hallway. Every now and then a door clicks shut, or a quick burst of distant laughter floats up through the floorboards. But after the utter, chaotic madness of the last few days—the endless parade of people, the yelling, the constant rushing around—this sudden stillness feels downright creepy. Unnatural, almost.Maybe everyone finally ran out of things to fuss over and organize. Or maybe I’m just so utterly drained that my brain has started tuning the rest of the world out.I’m sitting cross-legged right on the edge of my mattress, staring blankly at the random little pile of stuff I’ve got spread out over the duvet in front of me.My silver earrings. Bracelet. The sparkly little clutch I’m supposed to ca
Craved By My Fiance's Brother Chapter 113: Sealed Forever
NATHANIEL'S POV:: I sink back into the heavy, broken-in leather of my desk chair, just staring blankly at the sea of financial reports spread out in front of me. The pen keeps spinning rhythmically between my knuckles, over and over, while my phone buzzes off the hook. It’s gotta be at least the sixth time it's gone off since I sat down, but I just leave it face down on the desk. None of that stuff even matters right now. My brain is still completely stuck on last night’s dinner.Specifically, that exact second Grandma set her water glass down on the wood, looked clear across the long dining table, and told Slade to head up to the study to fetch her that old bottle of Bordeaux.I let out a low, slow breath that rattles in my chest.Up until that point, everything had actually been going shockingly well. For once in her life, my grandmother had somehow managed to take what should’ve been an agonizingly stiff, formal family dinner and turned it into something almost normal. She genuine

SLADE'S POV:: I keep my hands shoved deep in my pockets and force myself not to turn around. Judging by the dead silence stretching out behind me, she doesn't have a clue what to say either.The study isn't even that far down the hall, but tonight every single step feels like a mile.When I finally hit the doorway, I push the door open and clear my throat. “It’s probably up on the top shelf somewhere,” I say, my voice barely above a whisper.Silence. Not a word from her.I step into the room, and a second later, I hear Meeka’s footsteps right behind me.Then comes the sound of the door clicking shut.I freeze in my tracks. For some stupid reason, that tiny metallic sound rings through the room way louder than it should.Slowly, I turn back to face her.She’s leaning with her back pressed right against the frame, hands loosely crossed in front of her. Her expression is totally blank—a wall I can’t read, no matter how hard I try.I just stand there staring at her, and she stares right

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

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

MEEKA'S POV:: “Nathaniel is tracking me.”The words crawl out of my throat, feeling heavy and bitter. But the moment they’re out in the air, a knot twists tight in my chest. 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
