In the arms of his brother Chapter seventy two
Brielle’s pov.With mum’s question, I confirmed that she heard everything. My fingers trembled in as I tugged at my clothes and my ears flushed red. “Mom…it’s just a prank. Uhmm…a random stalker.” I faked a smile on my face as I scrambled towards her with my hands outstretched , but she took a staggering step backward like my touch burned.“Do not lie to me, Brielle,” Mom raged with a cracked voice. She gripped her own chest, struggling for breath as she stared down at my stomach. “You lied to everyone that the pregnancy was for Lucas. The entire alliance was secured because of this pregnancy. I can’t believe you lied to me…your own mother.” What was I supposed to do? I had to find a way to be in this family’s favour. “Mom….” I grabbed my mom’s hands and held it tightly when she tried to grip away. With tears streaming from my eyes not because I felt remorse, but because I was terrified that the world I'd carefully built was falling apart, I called her attention . “Mom, please,li
In the arms of his brother Chapter seventy one
Austin’s pov. “Why did your mother claim she stole it then?” I had to ask her this question because what I saw was not corresponding to what she said. Brielle faced her mum, “ that’s because Mum was not aware! I wanted to keep it a secret.” Then she turned to me and whispered, “ you wouldn’t want to ruin my image which will ruin our family ties and you know your Dad won’t like that.” I swallowed hard.Next, Brielle grabbed Emery’s arm like she was helpless, her mouth forming an inverted U. “Emery, I’m sorry for the misunderstanding . When Mum saw you in the dress , she naturally assumed the worst; I was confused when everyone started yelling and I…i…I panicked!” “Oh my darling!” Celestine intervened, pulling Brielle into a hug. “I knew you were far too sweet-natured to pull such a vile stunt, it was a misunderstanding ; I acted harshly out of the protective instincts I have for my daughter.” “A misunderstanding?” I scoffed as I threw Celestine the question with emphasis on the
In the arms of his brother Chapter seventy
Chapter seventy. Emery’s pov.Brielle set me up. Pushing me into the pool wasn’t enough for her so she had to set me up too! “I heard she comes from a poor background and she’s just lucky to be part of this family,” the woman standing beside the young man backed up. “Hmmm…people like her don’t belong here,” someone else scoffed. I felt so belittled, embarrassed and powerless. “You don’t deserve this luxury.” A young lady threw wine at me. Fuck!“You’re so embarrassing.” Another splash of wine on me. Celestine came forward, and Brielle followed suit.“I didn’t steal anything,” I grimaced. “Why’re you lying?” My eyes glared at Brielle. “Oh! Stop dying it. This is the dress I bought for Brielle and it’s one of a kind,” Celestine emphasized. “Snatching my fiance isn’t enough for you that you had to steal my dress?” Brielle sighed.I heard the crowd murmur an ‘ooh!’ “Is she cheating on Austin?” Someone spoke out. “Enough talking! You’ve humiliated my daughter and I won’t stand f
In the arms of his brother Chapter sixty nine
Chapter sixty nine . Brielle’s pov. I stomped out with my chest puffed with fury so hot that I felt like acid was in my throat . How did she do it? How did she manage to charm both brothers? Urghhhh!! I dragged my fingernails into my palms that I felt like screaming. “I’m so sorry ma’am,” Magda hurriedly said as we clashed onto each other. She was in a hurry and obviously I was distracted with my thoughts. As Magda bent down to pick up the clothes , a brilliant idea sparked in my head. Hmmm….“Don’t worry I’ll handle it from here,” I said to her in a sudden fake sweetness. “But ma’am, it’s my job,” she protested in a low tone. “It’s fine, Magda. Go attend to other things,” I dismissed her, giving her a look that brooked no argument. “Lucas is mine. You don’t stand a chance bitch,” I mumbled to myself as I stared at the clothes. A devious feeling of satisfaction filled my nerves. Emery’s pov. After I was done with the change of clothes , I went back to the party. I paused
In the arms of his brother Chapter sixty eight
Chapter sixty eight. Emery’s pov.Everything I looked at around me vanished into a white and hot fury. “How dare you threaten my mother?!” Before I realized myself, my palm connected with Brielle’s left cheek in a brutal, resounding slap. I felt the force of the impact on my arms which made my fingers throb with pain. The flames of fire I felt in my chest calmed down as I got the satisfaction I wanted. Brielle gasped , cutting through the ambience of the party with her head snapping to the side. I left Brielle speechless for a minute. “How dare you lay your hands on my daughter?!” Celestine exploded, her face masked with pure rage. Brielle held her red cheek, and looked at me with her bloody eyes in humiliation. “You psychotic bitch!” I was about to brace myself when Brielle lunged forward with all her weight , her hands planting firmly onto my chest, and shoved me backward. I lost my grip on the slippery tile and my mouth widened as I tilted backward into the empty air for a
In the arms of his brother Chapter sixty seven
CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN.Emery’s pov.I stepped out of the bath tub, the warm water doing nothing to melt away the ice gripping my chest. I didn’t know how to feel or what to do, but the last thing I will want to do was to confront Austin about it even though my body want to scream out how I felt.However, I had questions…unanswered questions, popping in and out of my mind. Why did he do it? Is it because he has fallen in love with me and he wanted to claim me at all cost? Even at the expense of my mental health. He had questions too about my disappearance with Lucas, he was consumed by worry throughout yesterday and this morning, yet he gave me a warm embrace as I returned and stood up for me against Celestine? Could that be genuine trust he has for me? My mind was pressured and filled with suffocating unease. I ransacked my closet checking for my clothes that could still size me, my baby bump is getting more visible with each passing month.“Don’t tell me you’ve been sitting here and
