Desired by the Billionaire Brothers You cheated on me
Chase’s POV:The engagement announcement was everywhere.Every platform, business page, and gossip account.Every luxury media outlet obsessed with the Ashfords and the Whitmores.Veronica Whitmore engaged to Max Ashford.The headlines replayed in Chase’s mind like something designed specifically to torment him.He stared at the livestream clip again from his office screen, and his jaw was tight enough to hurt.Veronica stood beside Max smiling while reporters shouted questions at them. Max’s hand rested against her waist while flashes exploded around them.And Veronica smiled.“No,” he muttered under his breath.His hand slammed shut against the laptop. “No. No, absolutely not.”Veronica couldn’t really slip out of his hands. Not after everything he tried.And Max? That bastard didn’t deserve her.Without thinking further, Chase grabbed his keys and left.An hour later, he was walking into Mr. Whitmore’s office without waiting for permission.Veronica’s father barely looked up from t
Desired by the Billionaire Brothers Face it as a trio
Veronica's POV:I didn’t know what emotion hit me first when I saw them together. Because I was both confused and angry.The blonde woman still stood beside Max with a lazy smile on her lips, completely unbothered by the chaos she had caused. One of her manicured fingers was lightly touching his arm like she belonged there.Something burned in me at that.“Seriously, Max? This is what you’ve been doing?”Max looked horrified instantly. “Veronica, no...”But then my mind paused. And suddenly the bigger picture snapped into place.Chase. Of course. It was always Chase."Chase set this up," I said.Max blinked."Think about it," I said. "He was downstairs. He saw you come in, or he knew you were here, or he arranged for you to end up here... I don't know which one yet but I know it was one of them. And then he made sure we knew about the girl before we had any context for what we were walking into."I moved my wheelchair past Max and pushed back through the VIP lounge door, and the girl
Desired by the Billionaire Brothers Not what it looks like
Max's POV:At some point, it stopped feeling like distraction with her.It started feeling very wrong.My mind wasn’t here anymore. It hadn’t been for a while.I pulled back this time, not because of a passing thought... but because I couldn’t just continue with her anymore.She noticed immediately. “What is it now?”I ran a hand through my hair, stepping back like I needed distance to think straight. “I can’t do this.”Her expression changed from confusion to mixing with irritation. “You couldn’t do this five minutes ago?”“I shouldn’t have done it then either.”She folded her arms slightly. “Okay… what changed?”I hesitated for a second, then said it plainly. “I have a fiancée.”That landed on her hard. She blinked at me, then let out a short, disbelieving breath. “You have a fiancée… and you’re here with me?”“I know how that sounds.”“No,” she said, shaking her head. “I want to hear how you explain it.”I looked away for a moment, and my jaw was tightening before I forced myself t
Desired by the Billionaire Brothers He is drinking again
Max's POV:The VIP lounge above the bar was the kind of place that existed specifically to provide wealthy people with the illusion of privacy.Low lighting, private booths with high backs, music loud enough to make conversation feel contained. I had been in rooms like this a hundred times in my life for reasons I could account for clearly and explain to anyone who asked.I was having some difficulty accounting for how I had arrived in this particular one tonight.Sofia was beside me, close enough that the our conversation had shifted from the bar downstairs into something with a different geographical location, and I was aware with the part of my brain that was still running its usual operational checks that I had moved through the last hour with something that was not quite intention and not quite accident but somewhere in the uncomfortable space between them.She had a good laugh. That was the first thing I had noticed after the hooker comment had nearly ended the conversation befo
Desired by the Billionaire Brothers Three of us
Max's POV:How stupid had I been?The question wouldn’t leave me alone.It followed me down the hallway, down the elevator, out into the cold night air like a shadow I couldn’t outrun. I should have known better. I did know better.And yet I still stood there, watching them like some fool who needed proof of what was already obvious. Veronica never let Theo go. Not really. Not in the way I needed her to.I let out a harsh breath and ran a hand through my hair, pacing once before pulling my car door open.The city lights blurred as I drove, but I barely registered anything around me.My mind kept replaying the same image.Veronica sitting there, looking at him like he was the only thing supoorting her. Theo standing too close of his place in her world.And me?I wasn’t in that moment at all.I laughed under my breath, bitter and sharp.What a joke I have become.She agreed to marry me, yes. But love? That wasn’t fully just for me.Even if she loves me... she will never forget me brothe
Desired by the Billionaire Brothers Look into my eyes
Veronica's POV:"You cannot keep me in the dark forever," I said. "That is not a sustainable arrangement, Theo. You cannot make decisions about what I am and am not allowed to know about my own situation and then expect me to remain grateful.""Veronica, I need you to stop for a moment...""Don't do that.""You are spiraling... this is not good for your health.""I am not spiraling, I am responding rationally to information I should have been given months ago, and the fact that you are framing my response as spiraling is exactly what I am talking about." I pulled my hands back from his and gripped the armrests of my wheelchair instead."You are doing it right now. You are gaslighting me right now, in real time, while we are having a conversation about the fact that you have been doing it."Theo stood up from his knee and looked down at me."I came to you," I said. "I came to you and Max specifically because I believed you were different. I had a father who controlled every room I walk

Veronica's POV:'Love is not what you do... Love is what you are... Love never tests you... it embraces you...' I swear that I must have heard this quote somewhere on I*******m a while ago... now I totally understand the meaning of it.I dropped my phone onto the mat beside me and started walking to

Veronica's POV:I assumed that Theo was done... when I felt his shudder, but even after that he began to move again, slow and deliberate... as if he hadn't just poured everything into me.How was he even doing this? Most men would collapse after that kind of release... but Theo was building me up a

Veronica's POV:"Veronica... Veronica... look at me."Max's voice revived me from the trance I was in. I blinked, feeling disoriented, the sound of waves suddenly louder, and closer.Cold water lapped against my neck.My breath hitched as I realized where I was. I was standing in the ocean, the wate

Veronica's POV:“We’re going global…” I laughed breathlessly, staring at Theo like I still couldn’t quite believe it.“Our startup is going to start churning millions,” Theo smiled with quiet certainty. “For sure.”That did it!I laughed again... harder this time... so much that my sides started to
