Natalie's POVThe boardroom looked exactly the way it had the first time, the same long glass table, the same view of the city stretching out silent and indifferent below us, and I understood, walking in, why Marcus had insisted on holding this here instead of anywhere else. Some things needed to end in the same room where they'd begun.I took the seat that had been left empty for me at the head of the table this time. Marc

I Married The Wrong Brother Chapter 90
Chapter 90 The Small Wedding Marcus's POV We married in my mother's garden on a clear afternoon in early autumn, exactly eighteen months after a porch, a confrontation, and a woman who had stepped between me and my brother without hesitating for even a second. It was small, deliberately so. A handful of chairs arranged beneath the old oak tree Eleanor had planted with our father decades ago, white blooms she'd grown herself lining the aisle, nothing like the enormous, performative wedding I imagined my family might once have expected of me. Natalie had wanted small. I had wanted whatever she wanted. For once, that had been an easy decision to make. Noah walked the rings down the aisle first, six years old now, solemn with the enormous responsibility of his task, a small velvet cushion gripped in both hands like something that might escape if he loosened his hold even slightly. He reac

Chapter 89 Birth Natalie's POV By the final weeks, I had stopped being able to see my own feet, a fact Noah found endlessly, gleefully funny, and had taken to narrating for me at inconvenient moments. "You almost stepped on the cat," he announced one evening, from his careful vantage point on the couch. "You can't even see where the cat is anymore." "We don't have a cat, baby." "We should get one. For when the baby comes. So it has a pet too." "We'll see." "That's the no voice." "It's the maybe voice," I said, easing myself down beside him with the particular effort that had become my entire relationship with furniture lately, and he curled against my side without being asked, resting his head carefully, deliberately, against the curve of my stomach.

Chapter 88 Partner, Not Shelter Marcus's POV I found the studio space three weeks before Natalie finally saw it, and this time, before I let myself fall in love with it on her behalf, I called her first. "There's a space," I said. "Small storefront, good light, close enough to Noah's school that pickup wouldn't be a problem. I haven't signed anything. I wanted you to see it before --." "what store? what's going on?" I can feel her smiling through the phone. "I got you a little something, or rather a place to call your own" I heard her laugh softly on the other end, warm and a little disbelieving, the particular sound of a woman still getting used to being asked instead of told. "Oh Marcus, you shouldn't have." A pause, gentler now. "Send me the address. I'll look at it." --- She loved it, the way I'd ho
I Married The Wrong Brother Chapter 87
Chapter 87 The Offer Natalie's POV The first email arrived four days after launch, from a brand I'd admired since design school, the kind of name that made Zoey actually gasp out loud when she read the subject line over my shoulder. They wanted to acquire Second Skin outright. A generous number, it would have seemed unimaginable to me a year ago, plus a senior design role leading their entire ready-to-wear division. Creative control, a larger team, resources I'd never had access to in my life. The second offer arrived two days after that, far smaller, far less polished, a handwritten note tucked inside a formal proposal Theo had clearly agonized over. I've been sitting on this idea since the week you first emailed me. A small label. Just the two of us at first, maybe Maya handling the business side if she's willing to leave the safety of corporate law for some

Chapter 86 New Terms Natalie's POV The co-parenting agreement arrived on my desk three weeks after the board meeting, drafted by a mediator both Marcus and I had insisted on. Daniel signed it without a single objection. I read through the terms twice before I let myself believe it. Alternating weekends. Shared holidays, split evenly, revisited every year without either of us needing to ask. No overnight changes without forty-eight hours' notice. It was, in its own quiet way, the custody threat finally closed for good, written into something with real teeth instead of something Daniel could dangle over me whenever it suited him. "He signed it an hour ago," Marcus said, reading the confirmation over my shoulder. "I don't think he has anything left to threaten me with." I set the document down carefully, feeling something in my chest ease that had
I Married The Wrong Brother Chapter 85
The Vote Natalie's POV For a long moment, nobody in the room moved at all. Ellison sat very still, her hands still folded in front of her, the careful composure she'd worn into every meeting I'd ever had with her finally, visibly, giving way. When she spoke again, her voice had lost the cool precision I'd come to associate with her entirely. "His father came to me himself," she said quietly. "Years ago. Not Daniel. The elder Mr. Whitmore. He told me a young designer was making accusations that, if they spread, would embarrass the company at a moment it could not afford embarrassment. He asked me to review the complaint and close it quietly. I was new to the board then. Grateful for the trust he'd placed in me. I told myself I was protecting an institution, not a man." Her eyes moved, briefly, to Eleanor, something like shame passing between them. "I have told myself that same story every year since, ever
