His Quiet Undoing: TO LOVE THY BROTHER 044
AURELIA POV~The next morning…even before I fully open my eyes, I can already tell I didn’t sleep properly. My body feels rested enough, but my mind never really slowed down through the night. Everything from yesterday is still sitting there, clear and unresolved.I stay in bed for a while, staring at the ceiling, letting myself get up slowly instead of rushing into the day. At some point, I reach for my phone again, more out of habit than expectation.Still nothing from Seth.No missed calls, no messages , not even something short or indirect. That part shouldn’t affect me this much, but it does. It confirms what last night already showed me. He is choosing to distance himself, I set the phone aside and sit up, pressing my fingers lightly against my temple before getting out of bed there is no point staying here and letting my thoughts run in circles again.By the time I get downstairs, breakfast is already set. Mom is there, going through something on her tablet, while Dad is seated

AURELIA POV I step closer, trying to catch his expression, but he still hasn’t fully turned toward me.“You can’t just leave like this,” I say. “After everything that just happened..”“Yes, I can,” he cuts in sharply.He finally turns facing me, and the look on his face makes me pause. I have seen Seth angry before, frustrated, even cold… but this is different. There is no restraint in it now, no careful control like before.“You’ve said enough tonight,” he continues, his voice rising slightly. “More than enough even.”My chest tightens, but I don’t step back.“I told the truth,” I reply, holding his faze. “Something you clearly weren’t going to do.”That only makes his expression harden further.“This wasn’t your place to say,” he snaps.“And whose place was it?” I shoot back immediately. “Yours? So you could keep pretending everything was fine?”For a second, it feels like the argument inside the house has followed us out here, except now there is no one to interrupt it.Seth lets

AURELIA POVGrandfather’s words land with a finality that leaves no room for interpretation, and this time even Seth does not try to interrupt immediately. The change in the room is obvious. What started as tension has now turned into something more decisive, something that is already moving toward action whether anyone agrees with it or not.Seth’s expression changes, not dramatically, but enough for me to notice. His shoulders straighten slightly, and the calm control he has been holding onto all this while tightens into something more restrained.“Grandfather,” he says, choosing his words carefully, “with all due respect, Regina is already involved in a signed project with Ashford media. Pulling out now would not only affect her, it will affect the company’s reputation as well.”“The company’s reputation is exactly why I am saying this,” Grandfather replies without hesitation. “Right now, everything connected to her is under question whether you want to admit it or not, her name be

AURELIA POV“Aurelia… stop!” Seth snaps, his voice finally rising in a way I have never heard directed at me before.The sharpness of it hangs in the air, but instead of backing down, something in me settles. I have spent too long holding things in, choosing silence, choosing patience, hoping and hoping it would eventually mean something. That he would finally love me more than just his adoptive sister…and even after Regina comeback and the divorce..I still hoped foolishly But right now, none of that feels worth it anymore.“Don’t tell me what to do, Seth,” I say, my voice firm despite the weight pressing against my chest.I turn back to face mom, dad and grandfather properly, refusing to look away from their expressions. The shock on their faces is clear, but it does not stop me.“It’s true,” I continue. “Ever since Regina came back, Seth divorced me. We are not husband and wife anymore. We’ve just been living in the same house like siblings.”The words feel heavier the second time

AURELIA POV ~By evening I was already getting bored. I had spent most of the day doing nothing but resting, thinking, and trying not to think at the same time. At first it felt necessary, my body truly needed the break, but as the hours passed it started to feel suffocating instead. I kept replaying the same conversations in my head, going over details that refused to settle into anything reasonable.I want to go back to work.That thought stays with me longer than anything else. Not because I feel fully ready, but because sitting still like this makes everything worse. At least at the company, there are distractions, things to focus on, something solid to hold onto instead of all these unanswered questions.Just then my phone rings.The sudden sound sends a sharp jolt through my ears, making me wince slightly before I reach for it. The hearing aid helps, but some sounds still hit too loudly, like my ears haven’t completely adjusted yet.I pick up the phone and glance at the screen.

AURELIA POV Sleep doesn’t come easily...I lie on the bed staring at the ceiling longer than I should, I feel really tired but my mind refusing to slow down. Every time I close my eyes, the same things come back in fragments that don’t quite fit together properly. The push the water Seth’s anger earlier. Zane’s warning Regina’s name sitting somewhere in the middle of everything whether I like it or not.At some point, I give up trying to force myself to sleep and reach for my phone instead. The screen lights up in my dinly lit room, and without really thinking about it, I open the company group chat again. The messages are still coming in, though slower now compared to earlier in the day.Most of it is speculation.People talking about the investigation. People mentioning Jace’s name more openly now. Some are already guessing what might happen if he gets officially charged. A few messages stand out more than the rest, not because of what they say directly, but because of the way they

AURELIA POVHow could someone so rude and arrogant be an Ashford?Zane was nothing like Seth. Nothing at all.Seth had always carried warmth in his presence, even when he was tired, even when he was stressed. There was something gentle about him, something that made people feel safe just by standin

AURELIA POV♡“Who is it?” Teresa asked casually, glancing at my phone when she noticed me looking at the screen.“It’s nothing,” I replied quickly. “Just an app notification.” Even though Teresa knew me better than most people at the company, she still didn’t know about my relationship with Seth b

AURELIA POV~By the time noon approached, I was still sitting in my office, staring at my laptop screen without really seeing anything on it.My fingers hovered over the keyboard, but my mind wasn’t focused on work. It kept drifting back to yesterday. To Seth’s lies. To Regina’s smug attitude To th

AURELIA POV“Yes,” Grandfather said as he continued, his voice steady and final. “Zane has been away from home for too long. We have to put the past behind us and work together again.”“But, Grandfather,” Seth started to say.“No buts,” Grandfather interjected firmly. “Just like you said, you are t
