The morning sunlight spilled through the sheer curtains, casting golden stripes across the floor. Alisa stirred with her limbs heavy with exhaustion and her eyes still swollen from yesterday’s heartbreak. Her blouse was wrinkled, the zipper halfway down her back and one strap slipped off her shoulder sometime during the night while her pajama bottoms lay crumpled on the floor, forgotten. The scent of last night’s perfume still clung faintly to her skin, mingled with the ghost of Leo’s cologne—fading, but still there.

But the bed beside her was empty.

She sat up slowly with her heart thudding in the stillness as her eyes swept the room. The empty soju bottles were gone so was the clutter she remembered leaving in her drunken haze before she’d cried herself to sleep.

He had cleaned up. And left. The air was still warm from his presence but he was nowhere to be found. No note and no goodbye, just absence.

And then she saw it.

On the sleek mahogany table near the armchair sat the contract

  • MARRIAGE WITH MY HUSBAND'S BROTHER   CHAPTER 17

    🔞 Read at your own risk. Only for 18 and above.Naomi woke to the weight of an arm draped lazily over her waist, the musky scent of sweat, sex and expensive cologne still clinging to the sheets. Her skin was bare, her thighs sticky from the night before, and beside her, Victor lay just as naked while his chest rising and falling with slow, satisfied breaths. She turned her head and drank in the sight; his smug and infuriatingly handsome face then pressed a kiss to his forehead. The grin that spread across her lips was wicked and almost feral like she’d conquered something priceless. Then in her mind, she imagined Alisa’s face now that weeks had already passed and the ink on their divorce papers was dry.Victor’s lashes lifted and he smirked lazily, with his voice still husky.“Morning, babe…”Naomi leaned in, brushing her mouth against his in a slow, deliberate kiss.“Morning. Are you going to go to work?”“Yeah,” he murmured, fingers tracing her hip before tightening, “but first…” H

    After a month of grueling, painfully drawn-out proceedings, each court appearance feeling like an open wound being salted, the divorce was finally, officially finalized. Papers were signed, hands were shaken and in the eyes of the public, it was over. While Naomi and Celeste toasted their so-called victory over champagne in some high-rise penthouse, basking in the smug satisfaction of what they believed to be a well-played game, Alisa felt no such triumph even though it was what she wants. She slipped away quietly with her presence barely noticed as though she were nothing more than a shadow exiting the room, as though she was never there to begin with. “Finally,” Naomi purred, her lips curling in satisfaction. “she’s out of the picture for good now.”Celeste smirked over her glass while the city lights reflected in her sharp eyes. “Out of the picture but not out of the game yet,” she replied smoothly.“If Victor moves quickly, the baby will be a Ravencroft before the press can crea

    Alisa woke up to soft morning light filtering through the curtains the next day, casting a warm glow across the unfamiliar room while her mind felt foggy, lingering with the remnants of sleep. The first thing she noticed was the faint scent of Leo’s cologne, mixed with something more subtle like the musky smell of his sheets. It felt too intimate and too foreign for her.Her heart sank but this wasn’t from shock or anger but it was more complicated. The realization came to her slowly like a tidal wave creeping up the shore. She couldn’t recall how she ended up there the night before but a distant ache in her thigh suggested she had been searching for something maybe comfort or escape, and she knew that something did happen. Just look at her naked body as well as Leo’s.Her head throbbed lightly as she moved to sit up, then a wave of dizziness washed over her. Leo’s arm was draped lazily over her waist with his breath steady and calm, reminding her of the complicated mess she found he

    After leaving the dinner early, Leo gripped the steering wheel more tightly than needed. The city lights created broken patterns on the windshield as they raced through the night. His jaw tensed and his eyes remained fixed ahead but his mind was still caught up in the chaos they had just escaped. In the passenger seat, Alisa sat silently. She had her arms crossed over her chest, and her gaze out the window was calm, composed, and unreadable.Leo scoffed. “Twisted bitch.”Alisa glanced at him. “Excuse me?”“Not you,” he muttered. “Your sister, crying like a starlet on cue.”Alisa gave a soft, bitter laugh. “She’s always been dramatic but she gets what she wants.”A pause. “Even if she has to rip it out of someone else’s hands.”Leo’s fingers tapped the steering wheel. “Victor plays along like he’s some poor, heartbroken husband. Bastard acts like he’s been wounded by love, not by his own damn ego.”“Well, don’t you think they deserve each other?” Alisa said flatly, voice devoid of heat

    Leo already had heard rumors, mostly from his private sources about Naomi’s growing hostility for Alisa. She had become bolder in making passive-aggressive remarks among her friends and subtly damaging Alisa’s reputation. The jealousy was clear that it tainted her words and soured her smile. But tonight?Tonight, she wore honey and silk. Every movement seemed rehearsed like a performance. The dinner was hosted by Celeste in one of Ravencroft Group’s exclusive hotel suites where marble floors, gold accents and long-stemmed wine glasses filled the sight enough to look elegant. The event was labeled a "family celebration," a toast for Victor and Naomi's engagement and their expected child but really, it was a carefully planned scheme. And Celeste, ever the calculating matriarch made a bold choice. She shamelessly invited Alisa, not out of warmth, guilt or kindness but mockery. She invited her like a lion invites a lamb into its den. And to savor her discomfort over all that she had l

    When Alisa and Leo arrived back in Seoul, the car ride from the airport felt suffocating with unspoken words. The low hum of the engine was the only sound filling the dark, leather-scented interior. Leo’s eyes flicked toward her every so often, quick glances that lingered just long enough to be felt but not long enough to hint a conversation. He said nothing and neither did she yet the silence between them wasn’t angry, it was heavy as if each of them was weighing the price of what had just happened and what was yet to come.Beyond the car windows, the city was waking up under a pale, washed out dawn. The Seoul skyline loomed ahead with its towers piercing the early morning mist and neon lights still flickering like tired sentinels not being able to sleep.With arms crossed loosely over her chest, Alisa leaned back against the cold leather seat. The fatigue from days of emotional chaos was tugging at her, but her mind was too restless to surrender to it. Her gaze drifted to the passin
