Janet’s Pov

“What the hell is happening here?”

Rowan’s voice cut through the air like a blade. It was sharp, cold, and filled with something unreadable. My heart clenched, but I refused to look weak.

“So, you’re back, huh? Finally taking a break from playing knight in shining armor for your best friend’s wife?” My words dripped with sarcasm, sharper than I intended. But he said nothing, only frowned slightly.

He stood at the doorway, his piercing gaze sweeping over the room—over the mess his mother had made of my things. Then his eyes landed on me.

“Rowan! Thank God you’re home!” Mrs. Caroline’s voice was sharp, triumphant. She snatched the divorce papers from the table and shoved them toward him. “Read this! Look at what this… this woman is demanding in the divorce agreement! She thinks she can walk away with everything! I will make sure she leaves with nothing.”

Rowan took the papers, his jaw tightening as his eyes scanned the pages. His fingers clenched tighter with every word. A f

  • DIVORCED, BUT SPOILED BY MY FIVE BROTHERS    Chapter 44

    Rowan's point of view After the morning briefing with the board members, I couldn't hide the smile on my face. My cheeks actually hurt from grinning so much. I kept thinking about Janet and those prenatal pills I'd found. She was trying to have my baby. The thought made something warm bloom in my chest.I went straight to my office, practically floating on air. I couldn't help but think about surprising her with something big—maybe an estate. A real home for our growing family.I pulled open my desk drawer and grabbed the property files I kept there. I started flipping through them, looking for houses that would be perfect. It needed to be big enough for a family, with space for a nursery and a playground for children. I was so absorbed in the files that I didn't even notice when Alex walked into my office."Looking for something, sir?" he asked.I looked up, and I could see the confusion on his face. My eyebrows were raised, one corner of my mouth curved up in this stupid smile I c

  • DIVORCED, BUT SPOILED BY MY FIVE BROTHERS    Chapter 43

    Janet's Point of View It had been two days since I forgot my prenatal folic acid pills at Rowan's room, and yet no reaction from him. The past two days hadn't been easy for me because I had never been able to relax. Every time my phone rang, my heart would jump, thinking it was him calling to confront me. But since it was two days already and I hadn't gotten any reaction from him, I thought maybe Rowan didn't see the bottle. Maybe he was too distracted by Flora's call to notice anything else in the room. I knew very well that Rowan would force me to abort the baby if he found out. And Flora was probably already planning her own pregnancy with him. Wasn't Rowan preparing to give her my place once our divorce was finalized? My heart ached with the bitter truth. I had already accepted that I was going to step aside for Flora and Rowan once the divorce was done. While they built their new life together, I would prepare for my journey as a new mother very soon. I wanted to give my chil

    Rowan's Point of View I reached the front door and stepped down from my car. I had left early this morning to attend Flora, but my mind wasn't really there. All I could think about was Janet and what happened last night. When I walked into the sitting room, my mother was waiting for me like a spider in her web. "Good morning, Mother," I said, not stopping to chat. I wasn't ready to deal with her complaints today. "Rowan, we need to talk about that wife of yours," she started, her voice sharp and disapproving. "I saw her yesterday at the hospital, and I think she's up to something..." Her words became background noise as I walked past her toward my room. I didn't have the energy to listen to her endless complaints about Janet. Not today. I banged the door closed behind me and looked around the empty room. Janet was already gone, and somehow that made my chest feel tight and empty. I sank onto the edge of the bed where we had slept together last night—really slept together for the

    Janet's Point of ViewI was deep in sleep when I felt someone clinging to me. I tried to kick Rowan's hand off me but it held me very strong. I jolted awake, my heart racing as I reached for the lamp on the table near our bed. The soft light flooded the room, and what I saw made my blood run cold.Rowan was sweating heavily, his body thrashing beside me like he was fighting an invisible enemy. His face was twisted in pain and fear, completely different from the cold, controlled man I knew."No… not again," he muttered, his voice trembling. "Don’t leave me… please, don’t leave me. I can’t lose another one… not again.”My breath caught in my throat.I recognized the signs immediately. PTSD. How had I not seen this before?My heart pounded as I quickly moved closer to him. I helped him lose his night wear a bit as all my training kicked in, pushing away my shock and confusion."Rowan," I said softly, placing my hands on his shoulders. "Rowan, you're safe. You're not there anymore."He wa

    Janet's Point of View When I entered the room, I found it beautifully arranged. The bed was made with crisp white linens and soft pillows that looked like clouds. Fresh flowers sat on the nightstand, filling the air with a sweet scent.What caught my attention most were the framed wedding portraits Grandma had placed around the room. There were three of them—I knew Rowan had one at his home, Grandma kept one in her room, and this must be another copy. In the photos, we looked so happy, so in love. It felt like looking at strangers.I sat on the edge of the bed and pulled my phone from my bag. I had several missed calls from my brothers and Tracy.I quickly texted Tracy: "Won't be coming home tonight. Staying at a friend's house."Her reply came almost immediately: "Okay, stay safe! See you tomorrow."I set my phone aside and reached for my earrings, trying to unzip my dress at the same time. The zipper was stuck, and I was struggling with it when I felt hands helping me.I looked up

  • DIVORCED, BUT SPOILED BY MY FIVE BROTHERS    Chapter 39

    Janet's Point of ViewI rushed down to Grandma's place, my heart pounding with worry from Rowan's urgent phone call. But when I arrived, I found her sitting comfortably in her favorite chair, smiling at something on her phone and casually eating an apple.Did Rowan actually use Grandma's health to play me again? The thought hit me like a cold slap as I walked toward her."Grandma!" I called out, forcing warmth into my voice despite the anger simmering beneath my skin.Her face lit up when she saw me. "Janet, my dear! Oh, how wonderful!" She set down her phone and reached for my hands. "I can't tell you how happy I am that you're here.""How are you feeling?" I asked, searching her face for any signs of illness. She looked perfectly fine—healthy, alert, even glowing."Much better now that you're here," she beamed, then turned to call one of the servants. "Maria! Please bring Janet some fresh fruit. The mangoes are particularly sweet today."I smiled and settled into the chair beside he
