OMNISCIENT POINT OF VIEW

The dimly lit penthouse room throbbed with bass from a distant stereo, the air thick with cigar smoke and whiskey. Leo leaned back on the leather couch, shirt unbuttoned and a glass of scotch balanced loosely in one hand. Between his legs, a woman knelt—eager, desperate for his attention with her fingers digging into his thighs as she worked.

He barely looked at her.

His gaze was on the ceiling, lost in thought. And that woman wasn’t a distraction but just background noise—something to pass the time while his mind sifted through bigger problems.

Then, a sharp knock.

Before he could speak, the door opened.

“Seriously?” Leo’s voice was calm but sharp as a blade, head tilting toward the intruder. “You forget how doors work, Johnson?”

His right-hand man, unfazed, stepped in with an expression stoic but hurried. “Apologies, boss,” he said, closing the door behind him. “But it’s her. She sent you an email.”

Leo’s demeanor changed instantly and the lazy smirk vanishe

  • MARRIAGE WITH MY HUSBAND'S BROTHER   CHAPTER 42.1 “No… no, that can’t be,”

    After a night that burned with lust and desperation, Leo and Alisa now sat in a quiet meeting room across from Peter and Johnson. The atmosphere was heavy with tension as they discussed the new evidence or proof that Naomi had orchestrated a murder. She hadn’t done the killing herself but her command had sealed a man’s fate. The cruel irony of it all was that the victim had been the father of her unborn child.Every detail laid out on the table made the room feel colder, darker.Elsewhere, Victor’s world was collapsing.The email came with a cruel simplicity, a set of results that confirmed what he secretly feared. The baby Naomi had lost… wasn’t his. His hand trembled as he reread the message, over and over, as if the words might change if he just stared long enough but they didn’t. The truth was unrelenting, stabbing through him with each passing second.He sank into his chair with his heart hammering in his chest. The room around him felt smaller and suffocating. His thoughts spira

    “So, what do you want?” The man asked with bored amusement, a cigarette pinched between two fingers as pale smoke curled toward the ceiling. He smirked like someone who’d never been surprised, eyes half on Naomi and half on the woman between his legs that’s openly servicing him as if the room’s shame were a curtain to be ignored.The sight made Naomi flinch but whatever tremor passed through her only hardened her resolve. She fumbled at her bag with hands that didn’t quite stop shaking, then slammed a thick wad of bills down on the scarred table as if force could steady her breath.“I want you to kill this man. Nothing more.” Her voice was flat and measured. She then swallowed with her throat tight and pulse rapidly beating because she knew exactly who she’d come to see. This was a dangerous man, the sort who traded in lives like currency. On-call hits, trafficking, money laundering and kidnapping people with a single phone call. He’s basically a person that has power and cruelty wrap

  • MARRIAGE WITH MY HUSBAND'S BROTHER   CHAPTER 41.1 “I fucked it all up,”

    Amidst the chaos, Alisa and Leo stood firm, their hands tightly clasped together. This time, no matter what the world threw at them, they would face it together and never back down. Naomi, too, had chosen her own path, strengthening her resolve to fight for the things she believed she deserved.As for Dominico, not a single day passed without him keeping an eye on Celeste’s situation in jail. Still, he believed she couldn’t do anything anymore not after the gravity of her sins which went beyond the company. She had betrayed Leandro, his son and Leo’s father, and, as Dominico believed, also Victor’s father.Dominico still thought Victor was his grandson by blood, unaware of the truth. Leo, however, knew everything but chose not to reveal it yet not until he was certain that Victor wouldn’t use that information for his own gain.Over time, Leo assisted his grandfather in uncovering the traitor within the company, who turned out to be none other than his own secretary. She had not only c

    Naomi knew it deep down that she could never reach with Celeste anymore. And maybe that was what pushed her over the edge. Her father, Adam, had already turned his back on her and Victor, the man she once thought she had wrapped around her finger, refused to even acknowledge her anymore. With nowhere left to turn, all that was left inside her was anger.It started small then the shouting and snapping at the maids.But soon, Naomi’s rage had no direction and no target. She just wanted to hurt someone, anyone. And when her mother, Clarisse, tried to calm her down that day, Naomi lashed out and shoved her hard enough to make her stumble.Despite that, Clarisse didn’t fight back.She just stayed there, enduring the pain while looking at her daughter like she didn’t recognize her anymore.Naomi had always been graceful, always so careful with how she carried herself like the perfect picture of composure and elegance. But now… she looked wild. Her hair was messy, her eyes glassy with madnes

  • MARRIAGE WITH MY HUSBAND'S BROTHER   CHAPTER 40 “Please… I’ll do a-anything!”

    When everything had finally settled between Alisa and Adam who both agreeing to meet once in a while for her sake, Leo found himself driving to a place he’d long avoided: the women’s detention facility where Celeste was held.Dominico had made sure she wouldn’t be able to slip through the cracks this time. No bail, no privilege and no quiet deals behind the scenes.The once untouchable Celeste Ravencroft now spent her days behind metal bars with her name splashed across every tabloid headline. The media circus outside the prison was relentless and reporters from every major network camped by the gate, desperate for even a glimpse of her that the police had to set up barricades just to keep the crowd under control.Inside, though, it was quieter like the silence of disgrace.There, Celeste sat in her cell in a crisp beige uniform that didn’t belong on someone who used to walk on red carpets. Her hair was perfectly brushed, of course it was and even in confinement, she somehow carried h

    “How are you feeling?” Leo asked, lowering himself onto the edge of the bed. His hand then brushed a strand of hair from her face before he pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.Alisa let out a small sigh, rubbing at the corners of her eyes. “Well… after all that crying yesterday, my eyes still ache a little but I think I’m okay now. I just have to finish this IV drip…” She gestured weakly toward the clear tube hanging from the corner of the bed.Leo’s gaze followed her hand, lingering first on the IV drip then drifting back to the bandage wrapped around her head as she had a little concussion. His expression softened, a mixture of concern and frustration. “If it hurts even just a little, you need to tell me immediately, okay?”“Okay… fine,” Alisa replied with a faint smile. “You worry too much these days.”“How could I not?” Leo murmured, his eyes darkening with concern. “You’re so fragile… I take my eyes off you for just a few hours yesterday and look at what happens.” He shook his
