Ex-Husband(Your Step-Brother Is Hotter) Chapter forty one
~UNEXPECTED~ AMAYA’S POV By the time Ethan and I returned from lunch, we both got straight back to work. He disappeared into another executive meeting while I settled behind my desk, completely focused on organizing the operational schedule and workflow he’d asked me to prepare. A notification popped up on my computer. From: Office of the Chairman Subject: Immediate Attendance Mr. Brown Hilton requests your presence in the Chairman’s office. I stared at the email before leaning back in my chair. “What the hell does he want now?” I muttered under my breath. Was I even obligated to go? Not anymore. Ethan was my boss now, not Brown. I clicked the email shut and continued typing as if I’d never seen it. Five minutes later, a shadow fell over my desk. I looked up. A man in a black suit stood before me, one of the chairman’s security personnel. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Hilton.” His tone was respectful, but his expression remained unreadable. “The Chairman has

~STRATEGY~ BROWN’S POV She struggled to draw a proper breath. “And if you’re tired of the position you’re in, let me know.” My voice was cold and measured. “There are dozens of women who’d replace you in seconds.” I released her neck with a shove. Susan stumbled backward, coughing violently as she clutched her throat, dragging in shaky breaths. Fear flashed across her face as she looked at me, but she was wise enough not to say another word. “I’m sorry, Brown.” Susan’s voice immediately softened. “I won’t bring it up again.” She took a cautious step toward me, searching my face for any sign that my anger had eased. “I’ll make it up to you.” She rose onto her heels and brushed a light kiss against the side of my neck, her hand smoothing over the lapel of my suit before slowly sliding lower. I caught her wrist before she could go any further. Her movement stopped instantly. “Not now.” My tone was flat, almost emotionless. “I have no appetite for distraction

~KNOW YOUR PLACE~ AMAYA’S POV I lowered my gaze to the untouched glass of water in front of me, absentmindedly tracing the rim with my fingertip. “I don’t know,” I admitted after a long silence. “I haven’t really thought about how to go about it.” Ethan didn’t interrupt. “I know I want out,” I continued quietly. “I’ve wanted out for years. But Brown isn’t the kind of man who signs papers and walks away. He would see it as me challenging him.” “He would,” Ethan agreed. I looked up at him. “And that’s exactly why I should be careful.” I sighed. “I’m not scared of the divorce itself.” My voice softened. “I’m scared of what he’ll do after I ask for one.” Ethan leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. I continued, “I’ve lived with Brown for years, and I can tell you he can be very dangerous when he wants to be. He’s abusive. He treated me like I was nothing, yet he would never let me go.” I intertwined my fingers on the table, staring down at them

~INSANE~ AMAYA’S POV Her signature bold red lipstick was impossible to miss, and as I walked closer, the first few buttons of her blouse were left open, exposing just enough cleavage to catch attention. Right. That was probably how she kept Brown entertained. She crossed one leg over the other, looking me up and down before letting out a mocking laugh. “So, you really had the nerve to show up in this company?” she asked rudely. I stopped beside my desk, meeting her gaze without flinching. Brown had fed her so much confidence that she genuinely believed she could talk down to me. I folded my arms. “Get your ass out of my chair.” She remained seated, clearly trying to provoke me. I wasn’t about to give her the satisfaction. Without saying another word, I walked to the trash can and dropped the cleaning wipe I had used a few minutes earlier. Then I calmly made my way back to my desk. She still hadn’t moved. I sighed inwardly, wanting to avoid drama and de

~TENSION~ AMAYA’S POV The moment I walked into my new workspace, I felt the stares, some curious and others openly hostile. To them, I wasn’t the chairman’s wife, but simply the new secretary who had somehow landed the job of working directly under Mr. Ethan Stiles. I ignored the whispers and headed toward my desk. Before I could get closer, a cheerful voice stopped me. “Welcome, Mrs. Hilton.” I turned to see a young woman smiling brightly at me. I returned the smile. “No, please. Just call me Amaya.” “Okay, Amaya.” She stretched out her hand. “I’m Nelly.” I shook it. Before I could say another word, she leaned in conspiratorially and lowered her voice. “I’m the person who knows everything that happens in this company,” she said. I raised a brow. “Oh?” She nodded proudly. “Everything.” Then she grinned. “Including the fact that you’re the CEO’s wife.” I couldn’t help letting out a dry laugh. “Doesn’t everyone here know that already?” Nelly shook h

~A THREAT~ AMAYA’S POV “I just don’t want to become office gossip on my first official day,” I said. A faint smile spread across his face. “You already are. The chairman’s wife resigned from being the obedient Mrs. Hilton and showed up as my secretary. Trust me, the gossip started the moment you walked into that boardroom yesterday.” I couldn’t help letting out a small laugh. “When you put it that way…” “So,” he said, closing the remaining distance between us, “whether we walk in together or separately, people are going to talk. And to be honest, I don’t give a damn what anyone thinks.” Before I could respond, he leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to my lips, a brief and gentle touch that was nothing like the desperation of the night before. When he pulled away, his forehead rested against mine for a fleeting second. “But if that’s what you want,” he said quietly, “I’ll respect it.” He took a small step back, giving us both some space. “I’ll assign T
