Natalie's POV I went back to work two weeks after the hospital, against the advice of my doctor and most of the people who loved me, because staying home any longer had started to feel like its own kind of danger. Marcus had been the hardest to convince. He hadn't raised his voice or ordered me to stay home, but his silence throughout the argument had been worse than either.

I Married The Wrong Brother Chapter 77
The Gap Natalie's POV I went back to work two weeks after the hospital, against the advice of my doctor and most of the people who loved me, because staying home any longer had started to feel like its own kind of danger. Marcus had been the hardest to convince. He hadn't raised his voice or ordered me to stay home, but his silence throughout the argument had been worse than either. He had stood by the bedroom window with his arms folded, listening as I explained that I couldn't spend another day staring at the same four walls, that I needed something to occupy my mind besides the memory of what had happened. When I'd finished, he'd looked at me with an expression I couldn't quite bear. "You nearly died, Natalie." "I know." "Then why are you behaving as though two weeks of rest have somehow made everything all right?" "Because sitting at home isn't makin

Family Reckoning Marcus's POV Daniel came to the house Five days later, because our mother had summoned him the way she'd once summoned the two of us as boys when something needed answering for, and because, I suspected, some part of him had been waiting for exactly this reckoning since the moment the candlestick left his hand. Natalie was at home, resting under doctor's orders, Noah with her, and some part of me had wanted to stay there too, to not let her out of my sight for longer than it took to shower. But Eleanor had asked me to come, her voice carrying a weight I hadn't heard from her in years, and I understood, driving over, that whatever happened in that house today would shape the rest of this family's life far more than any board vote ever could. Daniel was already in the sitting room when I arrived, standing at the window with his back to the door, the posture of a man who

The Fight Marcus's POV I saw it building before it broke, the way you see a storm gathering long before the first strike lands, and I still wasn't fast enough to stop it. "Daniel." I kept my voice level, my hands open at my sides, every instinct in me reaching for the version of this conversation that didn't end badly. "Step back. Nobody's trying to take anything from you right now." "You already took everything." His voice had gone somewhere I didn't recognize, somewhere past the careful charm he wore like armor, past even the cold fury from the boardroom. This was something older, something that had been building for years under all of it. "God i hate you, i hate that you are my brother." "She's not your wife, Daniel. She hasn't been for a long time." "She was supposed to be." His hand had closed around something on the mantel behind him, one of the heavy brass c

What Daniel Overheard Natalie's POV Noah ran straight for the garden the moment we arrived at his grandma's house, already shouting something about a lizard he'd spotted there last time, and Marcus went with him, laughing, leaving me alone with Eleanor in her kitchen for the first time in weeks. She handed me a cup of tea I hadn't asked for which told me she'd noticed too. "Sit," she said. "Properly. Not on the edge of the chair like you're about to be called away." I sat with the tea untouched in front of me, my fingers curled around the handle of the cup without ever lifting it to my lips. "You look different," Eleanor said. I glanced up. "Different how?" She studied me for a moment, her expression thoughtful rather than concerned. "I haven't quite figured that out yet." My fingers tightened around the handle. "Natalie, I'm not trying to pry." "Eleanor—" "I'm asking because I care about you." Her gaze steady on mine. "Whatever it is, you don't have to carry it alone. You

The Rumor at Work Natalie's POV The blog post went up on a Tuesday. Whitmore Group's "Clean" Launch: What They're Not Telling You About Second Skin's Design Credit. I read it standing at my kitchen counter, Noah's cartoons playing unwatched in the background. It wasn't accurate, not exactly. It was worse than inaccurate; it was close enough to true that denying it outright would have looked like exactly the kind of cover-up it was accusing us of. It mentioned the governance review without context, implied I'd been installed as presenter through personal influence rather than merit, and included, with careful legal phrasing, an unnamed source close to the company. An unnamed source. I thought of Adrian immediately, and then made myself stop thinking about him long enough to read the rest. By ten o'clock, Zoey forwarded me an email from one of our retail partners, a

Chapter 72Priya Picks a SideNatalie's POVI almost walked past her before I realized who she was.“Priya?”She turned at the sound of my voice, and for a second, neither of us said anything. She looked exactly as I remembered her from the branch—except for the tension in her face and the folder clutched against her chest.“What are you doing here?” I asked.Priya glanced over her shoulder before stepping closer. "I was called in this morning."My stomach tightened."Called in for What?"She hestitated, then lowered her voice more"Legal sent out a request Friday afternoon," she said quietly. "Asking staff who've worked near you to submit statements. About your conduct."I stared at her "My conduct?""Professionalism during work hours. Appropriate boundaries with executive staff. Whether you've ever used your relationship with Marcus to influence decisions." Priya's
