MasukOn her birthday, Giselle Macmillan receives a gift she will never forget. A video of her husband in another woman’s bed. In one brutal moment, her perfect marriage shatters. The love she believed in? A lie. The man she trusted? A stranger. Determined to walk away, Giselle demands a divorce… but Kennedy Macmillan refuses to let her go, tightening his grip like she’s something he owns. And then there’s him. Joseph Macmillan, Ken’s older brother. A billionaire, cold, ruthless, and untouchable. He doesn’t just want her gone. He’s determined to break her until she leaves Ken. But when Giselle’s father collapses from the shock and her husband disappears without a trace, the last person she expects steps in to save her was Joseph. The same man who’s been trying to drive her out of his brother’s life. Now Giselle is trapped between two brothers. One who won’t let her go, and one who might ruin her in ways she never saw coming.

It wasn’t some big dramatic speech or overwhelming rush of emotion.He somehow managed to put everything on the table while still giving me space to breathe, which only made it harder to figure out what to say. Instead of pushing for an answer right away, he left the door open, and that quiet patience settled deep in my chest.I let out a slow breath and finally looked at him. “I’ll think about it.”His eyes softened, warm and understanding, as he waited for me to keep going.“But before I decide anything, I need to talk to Gigi first.” I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear, trying to steady my thoughts. “And even if I do come work for you, it won’t be until after the product launch. I’m almost positive Ken’s going to show up and cause trouble.”This time Jefferey didn
✧🦋✧ Esther ✧🦋✧I wasn’t just shocked. The feeling hit me deep in my gut, like everything I thought I had figured out suddenly got flipped upside down and I was still trying to catch my balance.Everything in my life had changed suddenly because of Giselle. If she hadn’t come crashing into my world, I’d still be out there every day throwing myself into those dangerous stunts, chasing that adrenaline high that always left me wired but somehow empty.I loved the rush, sure, but this new life felt different in a good way. Safer. For the first time in years, I actually felt like the woman I was supposed to be instead of that reckless girl who didn’t think twice before diving headfirst into trouble.That fearless side of me wasn’t going anywhere, it was part of who I was, but I really liked this steadier version of myself.What I couldn’t figure out was why Jefferey wanted me to leave it all behind for
✧🦋✧ Jeffery ✧🦋✧I’d been completely hooked on Esther from the second I saw her in that dress at Joseph’s penthouse. That image had burned itself into my brain and refused to leave.Most people only saw the tough side of her, the fearless woman who’d throw herself in front of Giselle without a second thought, the stunt double who took every dangerous hit and always got back up swinging.She walked around with this confident armor on, ready to face down trouble the moment it showed up. But that night at Joseph’s, I got to see something else entirely.She looked so beautiful it almost hurt. Not just pretty, but soft and real in a way that knocked the air out of me.I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about it since. I’d already made a mental note to buy her a whole closet full of dresses, not because she needed them, but because I was dying to see that gentle, unguarded side of her again.So when Joseph texted asking me to pick
✧🦋✧ Esther ✧🦋✧“Date or not?” My stomach twisted into knots. Out of everything I thought might happen today, this was nowhere on the list. “My brothers…” The words tumbled out before I could catch them. Jeffery barely even flinched. “I don’t care about your brothers, Esther.” His eyes stayed locked on mine, intense and unwavering. “You’re an adult. You’re more than old enough to make your own choices.” The pure confidence in his voice sent my pulse racing even harder. “If my intentions were shady, yeah, I’d be worried about them. But all I want is you in my world.” His expression softened, and it hit me right in the chest. “And if you choose to stand with me, I’ll face your brothers head-on.” I just stared at him, my mind spinning. “You don’t know them.” He let out a warm laugh that somehow made the air feel lighter. “No, I don’t.” The amusement in his eyes sparkled brighter. “But if we’re already talking about your brothers, does that mean you’re actually attracted to m
