last update วันที่เผยแพร่: 2026-06-27 05:43:49

Claire’s words sat heavy in the room. Everything stolen from his mother passes to Ethan Cole.

My first feeling wasn’t jealousy. It was guilt.

“Then we cannot get married tomorrow,” I said.

Damien’s expression shifted, careful and still. Claire watched us both.

“Is that what you want?” Damien asked.

Not whether the situation was difficult. What I wanted.

“No,” I said.

“Then we are getting married.”

I explained what was actually eating at me. I couldn’t stand the thought of rewarding the family t

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 104: Are You Still Angry With Me?

    I woke warm, which was my first mistake.Somewhere between falling asleep furious and the grey light coming through the curtains, I had migrated. My cheek rested on Damien's shoulder, my palm lay flat over his heart, and one of my legs was hooked across his beneath the covers as though I'd spent the night annexing territory. His arm sat heavy at my waist. I conducted a silent inventory of my dignity and found none."Are you still angry with me?" His voice was low and rough with sleep, close to my hair."Yes.""Interesting.""What?""You've become very affectionate for an angry woman."I became aware, all at once, of exactly how thoroughly I had wrapped myself around my husband. I began to peel away, face hot, already assembling an excuse about the cold, and Damien's arm loosened at once. No protest, no clever leverage, just space offered the second I reached for it.Which was when I discovered I didn't want it.So I stayed. I felt him register that, and I flatly refused to look up at

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 103: My Husband Knew Before I Did

    I woke to the smell of coffee and the low sound of Damien moving around downstairs, which felt astonishingly ordinary after everything we'd said to each other the night before.I found him in the kitchen, sleeves rolled, focused on something at the stove. I stood in the doorway a moment longer than necessary, just watching him.He glanced up. "Disciplined observation?""Am I not allowed to observe my own husband?""I'm your husband now," he said. "The restrictions have changed."I laughed, crossing the kitchen to steal a piece of toast off his plate. He didn't even look surprised anymore, just handed me a second piece before I could take his."You're anticipating my crimes now," I said."I'm adapting."He kissed me briefly on his way past, easy and unremarkable, the kind of kiss that didn't require a conversation about what it meant. I liked that almost as much as I'd liked the deeper ones. It felt like proof we were becoming something ordinary underneath everything extraordinary that

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 102: If I Had Changed My Mind

    "What would you have done?" I asked.He didn't tease me or drag it out."I would have let you go."The answer hurt more than I expected, even though it was exactly what I should have known to expect from him."That's it?" I said.He caught something in my voice before I fully understood it myself."No," he said. "I would have let you cancel the wedding. I would never have used the contract, or Ethan, or your family's situation to pressure you into going through with it." He paused. "But I wouldn't have stopped caring simply because you changed your mind.""What does that mean?""After I made sure you were safe, legally protected, with somewhere to go, I would have stepped back." He held my gaze. "And then, once enough time had passed for you to be making decisions from somewhere other than betrayal and humiliation, I would have asked you out."I stared at him. "You would have dated me?""I would have tried.""Damien Black would have asked me on a normal date?""I said I would have tri

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 101: The Night He First Wanted Me

    I stared at him in the dark, certain I'd misheard something that couldn't be true."What?""You heard me.""Say it again anyway.""The night I married you," he said slowly, "wasn't the night I started wanting you.""When?"He hesitated, which unnerved me more than the confession itself."Damien.""I heard you.""Then answer me."He admitted it, finally, that it had happened months before, before the engagement party, before I'd ever known his name existed as anything other than a signature on a document.That genuinely shocked me. I sat up slightly, pulling the sheet with me."How long before?""Six months. Maybe seven."I did the mental math without meaning to, tracing it back to a version of myself I barely recognized anymore."While I was still with Ethan?" I asked."Yes."Something in my chest tightened. I had spent years learning what it felt like to be someone's second thought while their attention drifted elsewhere. I did not want to discover I had been someone's secret first t

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 100: My Husband Asked Me About Forever

    I woke without the surprise of the night before. I already knew where I was, already remembered choosing it. My own clothes sat folded across the chair beside his desk, a small, ordinary thing that somehow felt enormous.Damien was already awake, reading something propped against his knees."This is becoming a habit," I said, nodding toward my things."I was hoping."He didn't take the words back, and something warm and slightly dangerous settled into the silence that followed.I stole his pillow while he objected, informed him it had technically been on my side, and listened as he told me I had apparently annexed half his bed in two nights."You invited me.""I didn't realize there would be territorial consequences.""Don't be smug.""I'm not smug.""You look smug.""I woke up beside my wife for the second morning in a row. Allow me a minor character flaw."I laughed and kissed him, easy and familiar in a way that felt like something I did now rather than something I decided to do ea

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter Ninety-Nine: If I Could Leave, Would I stay?

    I was staring at the same paragraph of a donor report for the third time when Claire finally noticed."You're smiling at a budget," she said.I looked down and realized she was right. "I like numbers.""You hate budgets."I closed the document, unable to argue with that. "Apparently I'm having a good morning."I couldn't stop thinking about it, tonight, don't go back to your room, and my own answer trailing after it like something I'd already promised myself. I knew what I would say if he asked again. That certainty frightened me more than the invitation itself had.Claire had genuine news for me before lunch. The independent review had established, with reasonable confidence, that I hadn't personally created the suspicious document. My credentials appeared to have been compromised through an authenticated session, though who had done it remained unknown. Once the formal findings were completed, there would be no investigative reason for my broader restrictions to continue, beyond my
