~~PEYTON~~

I am the worst woman to exist on this planet Earth. I am such a screw-up and a hypocrite. I hate Odin for loving someone else while being married to me, and now I am doing the same thing, but in a different way. I mess up big time.

I expected Axel to use his leverage to finally demand what I dread. I thought he would rage, insist I quit my job, or even forbid me from being in the same room as Raphael—anything to immediately cut off the proximity that is making things complicated. He is supposed to be possessive, decisive. Instead, when I ask him later if I should step away from my position, he just gave me that calm, unsettling smile.

"Quitting your job won't change anything, Peyton. It only proves you're still running."

He is right, and that's why it is so terrifying.

His lack of panic, his refusal to impose a physical barrier, feels less like trust and more like a twisted test. He is letting me keep the key to the trap, trusting his own ability to dismantle my feelings f

  • Deadly Game With My Husband's Brothers    053: How we continue depends on your answer

    ~~PEYTON~~My back is slammed against the wall as Raphael's heavy frame towers over me. He is so close, so fucking close that I can feel the heat radiating off him, the anger, and something else I don't want to name. His hand is still clamped around my wrist, the grip tight enough to prevent escape but not yet painful. He doesn't need to hurt me to dominate the space."You called me a chameleon," he states, his voice vibrating against my ear. "You think you can sneak an insult, break my concentration, and then run back to your desk like a child who rang a doorbell and sprinted away?""I was leaving," I whisper. "I have a job to do. You told me to get busy.""I told you to close the door," he corrects, his face dropping lower, forcing my eyes to meet his. "And then you chose to play one last, petty game. You little bitch."He releases my wrist only to hook my arm against the wall above my head—the same physically confining move Axel uses on me, but this time, the intention feels far m

  • Deadly Game With My Husband's Brothers    051: A big NO!

    ~~PEYTON~~“We are really doing this?” Axel grumbles as I drag him into the living room, clearing space on the coffee table.“Truth or Dare? What are we, sixteen?”“No, it's an adult version we'll use to extract whatever the hell you guys swallow that's making you speak in code. And mind you, you're both gonna speak English, not a language I don't understand. Got it?”I can't believe I just ordered Raphael. The evening is getting stranger with each passing second. Raphael’s lips twitch slightly, but he gives a curt nod. Axel keeps glowering. “This is how we decide what lane everyone belongs in, so it's not a matter of if it's necessary. It’s a forced clarification. Everybody says what's on their mind, sorts it out so we can all sleep at night.”Axel rolls his eyes. “Fine. The bottle spins to choose the victim. That way, the accusations come from fate, not me.”I have to admit, the logic is chilling.I don't even know why I'm doing this. I wanted Raphael gone, and at the same time, I

    ~~PEYTON~~I practically drag Axel all the way to my bedroom and slam the door shut. And I don't waste a second.“Start talking.”Axel sighs. “I'm sorry. Alright, I will get rid of him. Soon.”“Soon?” I scoff. “I want him out now. He's a recipe for disaster.”I can't honestly say I was being demanding just because he's invading our space. Deep down, the real reason is a bigger pill to swallow. The truth is I can't resist him. Every time I look at him—sweaty, domestic, acting like he belongs here—my brain starts building images I can't stop. And his face? For some reason, I no longer see them as twins. It's like Raphael has a different face in my head despite their uncanny resemblance. And worse, I'm more attracted to that face for no reason. Like, when did that start? When?I haven't even told Axel I love him yet.It’s better if Raphael leaves now, before I let my thoughts, or him, cross a line I can’t come back from.Meanwhile, Axel is already showing himself out the door.I follow s

    ~~AXEL~~ The moment Peyton slams the door shut, my gaze snaps to Raphael. “Why are you doing this?” He gives a half-hearted smile. “What am I doing?” “What has gotten into you? You've been acting strange since yesterday. Why are you messing with her when we've both agreed we are not doing it again?” He deadpans. “So many questions in one sentence.” “Rap!” He rolls his eyes and pushes himself off the wall. “Should we help her out or stand here looking handsome for her gaze? I know quite a few poses.” That's it. I storm over to him, a beat from pushing him against the wall, the door swings open. Peyton walks in, eyes darting between us. “Are you two fighting?” she asks. I can see the confusion on her face; if only she knew. “We're always fighting.” “That's not true.” Raphael retorts, his voice smooth and entirely too calm. He steps neatly out of my reach, his focus instantly shifting to Peyton, completely ignoring my threat. “We have always been impeccably well-

    ~~PEYTON~~Axel: Yeah, we did? Why do you care? Scared? Or guilty that you're already falling for me while screwing my brother?“What?” I frown, rereading the text, every word. What the fuck is wrong with him? Did he screw his head?Me: Is it a crime to fall for you? Make me understand, and why would you think I'm screwing Raphael? What's going on?Axel: .......Dots. That's what I get? Really?Me: Hey!Axel: I've got the answer I was looking for, so let's move on.“What?” I frown again, confused, questioning my brain if I actually read that correctly. Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?Me: There's nothing going on between me and Raphael. He's my boss, and he hates me. Why would you even think that?Axel: I knew it, you love me.Me: I do. I mean, can I… love you?Gosh, I can't believe I'm typing this right now. I can't even say this out loud.Axel: Great. Just the confession I needed. I knew you loved me. That's why you're acting weird around me.Me: Duh 🙄 we've fucked like seven t
