Falling for the Disgraced Heir Chapter 34: Name and Nothing Else
he air smelled faintly of smoke and rain. Julia followed the thin trail curling above the fence, her steps slowing as she turned the corner into the backyard.Brandon stood by a rusted tin barrel, sleeves rolled up, the glow of the small fire licking at his skin. Flames danced across his face, catching in the sharp lines of his jaw, the hollows beneath his eyes. He looked both haunted and free—like a man standing at the edge of his own rebirth.The wind shifted, carrying with it the faint crackle of burning paper.Julia’s stomach dropped. “What are you doing?”He didn’t look at her right away. Another flick of his wrist, another card swallowed by fire. His voice was low, steady, almost too calm. “Letting go.”She stepped clos

The market was already alive when Julia arrived—voices rising, carts clattering, and the smell of rain-soaked fruit mixing with diesel fumes. She wasn’t looking for him. At least, that’s what she told herself.But then she heard it.“Good guy, that one,” a vendor said, stacking crates of oranges. “Didn’t take the bonus, said it belonged to the rest of the crew.”“Yeah,” another added, chuckling. “Said he’s just grateful for honest work.

The worker below didn’t even look up.“Move!”He didn’t think. He ran. The world blurred as he shoved the man out of the way, the beam crashing down beside them. A burst of pain tore through his arm, hot and blinding.For a moment, there was only dust and ringing silence.Then—Julia’s voice.“Brandon!”She pushed through the crowd of workers, her breath ragged, eyes wide with panic.

Dust rose with every swing of the shovel, clinging to his throat, his hair, his skin. Brandon’s palms burned beneath worn gloves, the rough handle biting deep. He hadn’t felt this kind of pain in years—honest, grounding, humiliating. The clang of steel and the smell of sweat mixed with concrete dust around him. Men shouted orders. Engines roared. It was chaos, but it was real.He bent, heaved another bag of cement over his shoulder, and felt something give in his wrist. The pain shot up his arm, but he kept moving. Pride wouldn’t let him stop. Not here. Not where no one knew his name.At least, that’s what he thought—until a familiar voice cut through the noise.“Brandon?”
Falling for the Disgraced Heir Chapter 30: Rock Bottom Rising
The HR tribunal room smelled of polished wood and fear.Julia sat at the end of a long glass table, three executives facing her like a firing squad. Their expressions were polite masks stretched over cruelty. Her palms were damp, but her voice—when she finally spoke—was steady.“You’re accusing me of breaching confidentiality,” she said. “But what I did was tell the truth. Hughes Corp falsified internal audits.

Everyone knows your... connection to Brandon Hughes.”Julia’s jaw tightened. “My connection,” she said quietly,
