The glowing text message burned into my vision. Julian had bypassed me, used his financial leverage over the hospital board and ordered the transfer of the only mother I had ever known. He was taking her away to a restricted facility where I would have zero access, turning a sick woman into a bargaining chip to force his wife back into submission.

I handed the phone to Bellamy across the center console.

Bellamy kept one hand on the steering wheel with his eyes flicking down to read the glo

  • Divorced And Pampered; My Brothers Rule The World   27 Lost Control

    JulianI stared out the window of my car, watching the city blur past with my fingers digging into the armrest while an ache settled deep in my chest. I missed Elena.The silence of our empty house gnawed at me every night with the reality of her absence feeling like a wound I refused to acknowledge aloud. My pride demanded that I drag her back by force and crush whoever dared to fund her escape but a sudden realization shifted my perspective.If I attacked her mysterious investors and forced her hand through intimidation, she would only despise me more. I wanted her to return to me willingly. I needed her to walk back through my front door on her own two feet, admitting she made a mistake.“Turn the car around,” I ordered.“Sir?” my driver asked, glancing into the rearview mirror.“Cancel the pursuit and head back to the office,” I instructed him, reaching for my phone to send a quick message to my security team. “Revoke the bounty. We are standing down for now.”The driver nodded, m

    ElenaI stepped out of the private elevator and walked into the vast living space of the penthouse. The rich scent of the penthouse immediately washed over me, instantly melting the lingering stress from my shoulders.Noah stood by the kitchen island pulling a tray of roasted vegetables from the oven while Finn arranged a ridiculous amount of food across the long dining table.“The conquering hero returns,” Finn cheered, setting a bowl of pasta down and tossing a dish towel over his shoulder.“I survived my first day,” I smiled, dropping my purse onto the nearest armchair before walking over to hug them both. “So what's this emergency about?”“You look exhausted,” Noah noted, gesturing toward the spread of food. “This is the emergency. Come on.. we're not all here but at least Finn and I are free, so we wanted to hangout over an early dinner. Sit down and eat. We made your favorites to celebrate your new beginning.”The dread eating me up since I saw the message instantly gave way to

    ElenaBianca slapped both her hands flat against the top of my desk with the sharp smack echoed in the small room and rattling the pens I had carefully aligned earlier.“You are using this job to get back at me,” Bianca hissed, leaning over the desk to glare into my face. “You think you can play doctor and diagnose me just to get petty revenge for your failed marriage. You orchestrated this whole setup.”I leaned back in my chair and folded my hands over her intake file, refusing to match her frantic energy.“Your marriage and mine are separate issues, Bianca, and no one forced you to book an appointment here. You use your pregnancy and your exaggerated grief as tools of emotional control. You manufacture these health crises because you deeply fear Julian will discard you the second you become inconvenient to his daily routine.”“You know nothing about us!” Bianca screamed. She snatched her handbag off the floor and clutched it against her chest like a shield. “You are just jealous be

    ElenaThe Haven Wellness Center prided itself on providing immediate and compassionate care and I wanted to prove I belonged in this new environment but never expected my next client to be Bianca of all people.The door swung inward as Bianca stepped into the office, keeping her head bowed while her hands covered her face with a dramatic sob echoing off the walls and filled the quiet space.I glanced down at the intake sheet resting on my desk, reading the familiar name printed across the top line. A jolt of surprise hit my chest as the pieces snapped together but I forced my posture to relax and folded my hands over the file.“Take a seat, Bianca,” I offered.Bianca froze mid-sob and dropped her hands from her face. Her eyes widened in genuine shock as she stared across the room and recognized me sitting in the leather chair. The tragedy vanished from her features in an instant, replaced by a defensive glare.“What are you doing here?” Bianca demanded, taking a quick step backward to

  • Divorced And Pampered; My Brothers Rule The World   23 Take A Seat Bianca

    BiancaI sat in the back seat of Julian’s car and stared out the tinted window as the afternoon traffic dragged past us. My hands squeezed around my designer handbag while anger burned through my chest, making every breath feel sharp and heavy.My plan had been so simple and brilliant, yet it had collapsed right in front of me. I had walked into Julian’s office expecting him to drop everything, wrap his arms around me and offer the devotion I deserved, but instead he had treated me like a broken appliance that needed a professional repair.I grabbed my phone from my bag and dialed Clara’s number.“Did you get him to take you out for lunch?” Clara asked the moment she answered.“No, I did not,” I snapped, keeping my voice down so Liam would not hear me from the front seat. “He completely ignored me and booked an emergency therapy session for me instead.”“A therapy session?” Clara asked, her voice raising in disbelief. “Why would he do that?”“Because I told him my grief and pregnancy

    JulianI stared at the dark screen of my phone, listening to the dead silence of the disconnected line with the sudden click still ringing in my ear and mocking my sudden loss of control.Elena had actually hung up on me. She laughed at my demand, rejected my invitation to the family gala and ended the call without a second thought.“She said no,” Brad noted from his spot on the sofa.“She refused to attend the grandmother’s gala,” I confirmed, tossing the phone onto the desk. “She told me she would send a gift and then she blocked my number. She did not even give me a chance to outline the schedule.”“The divorce papers are not signed,” Brad pointed out and set his tablet on the coffee table. “Maybe you should just leave her alone, Julian. The fight is over and she clearly wants nothing to do with this family anymore.”“She is playing a game,” I argued and paced across the room to look out the window at the busy streets below. “She may be trying to negotiate a higher settlement payou
