ASTRID

I open my mouth to speak but just then, Silvan sways on his feet, his eyes fluttering shut as he collapses against the metal bars.

“Silvan, watch out!”

My heart jumps to my throat. I shoot out a hand in a desperate attempt to stop him from falling…but it’s too late.

He sinks to the floor in a helpless heap and for a moment, I’m convinced that I’ve been thrust into a nightmare.

Without thinking, I dive towards him, screaming for help at the top of my lungs.

“Security! Is there someone there? We need a doctor!”

I thrust my hands through the bars and scoop him gently against my chest. His body is so cold, I let out a gasp of shock when it comes in contact with my skin.

My heart cracks open when I notice that his lips are blue. He’s trembling. He’s cold.

“Silvan? Silvan, please answer me!”

When two seconds tick by and he still remains silent and stiff in my arms, my heart feels like it’s been ripped from my chest.

My eyes fall to his wrists, to the ugly gash that festers there. H

  • Dear Ex-husband, My Stepbrother is Your Replacement.   199 — EVAN DAVIS

    ASTRIDA dull pain blooms in my chest as I take off my shoes and crawl into his lap, promptly burying my face in the crook of his neck.Silvan’s fingers are in my hair in an instant, massaging my scalp with long, smooth strokes. My eyes roll to the back of my head. It takes a lot of self restraint to stop myself from purring.“Oh, that feels so good.”“It does?” His voice is a deep, soft husk in my ear. His lips touch my skin and I shiver, already craving more.“Yes, it does.” “Kiss me.” Don’t mind if I do.I detach myself from his neck and lock my lips to his. The kiss is a wet, sloppy, electrifying tangle of tongues. By the time we take a break to breathe, my sex is already tingling with arousal and I can feel Silvan’s hot rod stirring to life.Looping my arms around his neck, I pepper his face and neck with kisses. He just sits there and takes it, keeping both arms firmly clasped around my waist at all times. “Did you miss me, baby?” He whispers.“I did. I missed you so, so muc

  • Dear Ex-husband, My Stepbrother is Your Replacement.   198 — I MISS MY HUSBAND…

    ASTRIDClaire probably thought I was playing around when I said she would go bankrupt. Barely twenty four hours after I left her gasping and trembling with rage at Oriental Hotel, I instructed Thea to leak the news of her deteriorating vineyards to high end broadcast stations and social media blogs. Just as I expected, the news spread like wild fire. It roused conflicting responses, of course. While some people sympathized with her, others claimed it was her karma for trying to compete with me. They have no idea that Karma has little to do with this. Claire’s downfall is a result of raw, meticulous planning, and we’re just getting started. “How far have we gone with the next phase, Michael?”I’m seated in my new office, going through some old files while Michael reads from his clipboard. These days, I have no idea if he works with me or for Silvan. Michael rarely ever leaves my side. He’s always around the corner, making sure I’ve got everything I need when Silvan is not there.

  • Dear Ex-husband, My Stepbrother is Your Replacement.   197 — FAKE SYMPATHY…

    ASTRIDA gorgeous brunette stands beside her. Judging from the narrow-eyed once over she slides my way, I’m assuming she’s just as snobbish and stuck-up as her dear friend, Claire. But then again, Claire’s taste in friends is just as predictable as it is pretentious.Speaking of my adoptive sister, she does look quite… haggard.I mean, she’s dressed to the nines as always in a pink Gucci suit and glossy six inch black heels. Hell, her hair is even all perfect and shiny. But there’s no denying the exhaustion on her face. Or the fact that she’s lost a worrisome amount of weight. I let out a dramatic gasp.“Are those dark circles? Girl, why aren’t you taking care of yourself? Beneath all those designer clothes, you really look like shit. Excuse my language, of course. You know I mean well.”She opens her mouth to speak but I’m not done. For all the days she treated me like a pile of cow dung, it is my turn to get a semblance of revenge.“You’ve lost so much weight as well! My, my,

  • Dear Ex-husband, My Stepbrother is Your Replacement.   196 — A TEST OF HER OWN MEDICINE…

    ASTRID“I knew it!” Zeya exclaims. “I knew that dick sucking, pig-faced bitch had something to do with this. I fucking knew it!”We’ve had two SOS meetings in the past two weeks, but this one is different. This time, we know who the enemies are. This time, we’re ready for revenge.Everyone is here tonight — Aunt Elena, Thea, Zeya, Michael, Gemini and Hayley. The full squad. Silvan and I just told them everything we discovered in the past 24 hours. From the tight looks on all our faces, it’s quite evident that playtime is over. “Thea, what’s the status concerning the scandal?” I ask, unable to sit still.My PA glances at her iPad, pushing tortoise shell glasses up the bridge of her nose. “Well, forty percent of the rumours have died down. However, a certain group of people are still trending the hashtag “canceltheMachiavelli’s” across all social media platforms.”Silvan and I exchange glances. Diane and Claire’s minions are obviously behind this.“So far, we’ve spent eight hundred

  • Dear Ex-husband, My Stepbrother is Your Replacement.   195 — IT WAS HER IDEA…

    ASTRIDThe stiffness in Kael’s shoulders is a clear indication that he despises his sister as much as we do. Maybe even more.“Diane is the oldest triplet. Dorothy was the youngest. My sisters are the perfect definition of greedy opportunists. They do not care who they hurt or swindle, so long as they get what they want.Both our parents died when we were barely five so we had a tough time growing up. But that doesn’t excuse their horrible actions in any way.”His gaze is apologetic as he glances at Silvan, “It was already too late when I found out about her marriage to your father.” He scoffs, “I mean, my own sister did not even bother to tell me she was getting married. No surprises there. I always stood against everything they supported. My point is, if I had known earlier, I would have tried my best to stop her before things got messy. For what it's worth, from the depths of my heart, I am sorry.”I wait with bated breath for Silvan’s response. I can tell that he’s shocked, com

    SILVANI wouldn’t be fazed if an encrypted number sent pictures of us while we were outside, but…“Silvan, do you realize what this means?” Astrid whispers, her voice filled with horror. “Whoever took these was inside our suite. They could have easily harmed us. How did they get in there? What do they want?”Anger pummels in my bloodstream like a volcanic eruption. I pull Astrid against me, running soothing circles on her naked shoulders with my thumb.This bastard has succeeded in scaring my wife, and she doesn’t scare easily. I will kill him with my bare hands.I kiss her forehead just to reassure her. “I’ll just shoot this to Hayley and have her dig around. Let’s see what we find.”I’m about to do just that when my ring tone pierces the air. Astrid and I exchange a loaded glance. It’s the encrypted number. Our stalker is calling. I answer immediately.“Who the fuck is this?”“Whoa, whoa, big man. Calm down.” A male voice breathes on the other end. “My name is Kael.”My fury retu
