His Quiet Undoing: TO LOVE THY BROTHER 041
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 POV “He did what?”Seth’s voice comes out low, but the anger beneath it is not hidden at all.I don’t look away from him as I answer.“Yes, Zane came here.”By the time Seth got back, Zane had already left. He didn’t stay long after telling me about Jace. He said what he needed to say, made sure I understood the situation, and then he walked out like he didn’t want to overstep. At the time, I didn’t think much about it.Now, standing in front of Seth,who is not so happy about it, I realize maybe I should have.Seth loosens his tie with one hand, pacing a short distance across the room before stopping again. His expression is tight, controlled, but I can see the irritation building under it.“By this time of the night?” he asks, turning back to me. “He couldn’t wait until morning?”“He said it was important,” I reply calmly. “And it was about the investigation.”“That’s not the point,” Seth says quickly.I watch him for a second, trying to understand what exactly is bothering

AURELIA POV ♡I try to focus on the rest of the dinner after that call, but it becomes difficult in a quiet, frustrating way that I cannot easily shake off. Teresa keeps talking, trying to keep things light, but I notice how her eyes linger on me a little longer than usual, as if she can tell something shifted even though I said everything was fine.I pick at my food, responding when necessary, nodding at the right moments, but my mind is no longer fully present at the table. It keeps replaying Seth’s voice, the way he answered my question without actually denying anything, and more than that, the way Regina sounded so comfortable calling him like that…I know that we are now divorced but it stings terribly…By the time we finish eating, I am more tired mentally than I am physically.Teresa notices it immediately when we step outside.“You look exhausted, Aurelia,” she says, her tone softer now. “Let the driver take you home, before dripping me off. We can do this another time when th

AURELIA POV♡And what did Seth say?” I ask again.“He didn’t deny knowing about the deal,” she says.“He admitted that he had spoken to people at Regina agency recently,” Teresa continues, “but he insisted the movie contract was already being negotiated before the show even started filming.”I stare at the floor for a moment, trying to absorb that.“So Zane believed him?” I ask quietly.Teresa shakes her head.“Hmm, not completely.”She walks a few steps toward the window before turning back toward me.“He told Mr Seth that whether the deal started earlier or not doesn’t change how suspicious it looks right now,” she says. The implication is obvious.Zane thinks Seth might be protecting Regina.“Things escalated pretty quickly after that,” Teresa adds. “Their voices got louder, and eventually the legal team had to step in to calm the situation.”I let out a slow breath.“So they fought again.”“Yes,” Teresa replies simply.She studies my expression for a moment before speaking again.

Aurelia POV~I woke up with a dull, pounding pain in my head, the kind that made it feel like my thoughts were moving too slowly for my body. Every part of me ached, as if I had run a marathon in my sleep. Yesterday’s events came rushing back the moment I opened my eyes, and with them, the heavy re

Aurelia POV~Steven slowly pulled into the Ashford mansion’s parking area, easing the car to a stop beneath the tall trees that lined the driveway. The afternoon sun shone brightly above us, casting soft shadows across the wide compound, and a gentle breeze brushed against my face as I opened the d
