MY EX-HUSBAND'S BROTHER Tonia's Confession
Evelyn's POVThe prosecutor's office smelled of old coffee and paper. I sat between Mirabel and Benjamin, watching Tonia walk in with a baby carrier and a tired expression.Rachel slept peacefully, unaware of the chaos around her.The prosecutor, a woman named Janet Chen, gestured for Tonia to sit. "Thank you for coming, Ms. Williams. I know this is difficult, especially so soon after giving birth.""I want to help," Tonia said quietly.Janet opened a folder on her desk. "I need you to tell me everything you know about Richard Harrison's financial activities.Specifically, his access to Henderson Enterprises accounts."Tonia took a deep breath. "Richard and I have been together for three years. In the beginning, he told me he was separated from his wife, that the marriage was just on paper for business reasons."I kept my face blank, even though the words cut deep."About a year ago, Richard asked me to help him with some company files. He said he needed someone he could trust, someon
MY EX-HUSBAND'S BROTHER Unwanted Compassion
Benjamin's POVVincent opened the door before we reached the porch, his face pale and drawn."Thank God you are here," he said, ushering us inside. "Mirabel is in the study. She brought the papers."Evelyn grabbed my hand as we walked through the house. Her fingers were ice cold.Mirabel sat at Vincent's desk, her laptop open, papers spread everywhere. When she saw Evelyn, she stood up and pulled her into a tight hug."How are you holding up?" Mirabel asked."I am here. That is all I can manage right now."Mirabel looked at me, her eyes sharp and assessing. "You must be Benjamin. I have heard a lot about you.""All good, I hope.""Let us just say you are doing better than your brother." She turned back to Evelyn. "We have a problem. Richard's lawyer filed a motion this afternoon.""What kind of motion?" I asked.Mirabel pulled up a document on her laptop. "He is claiming that the evidence against Richard was obtained illegally. That you, Benjamin, did not have proper authority to acce
MY EX-HUSBAND'S BROTHER The Hospital
Evelyn's POVThe hospital smelled like disinfectant and fear. I walked through the automatic doors with Benjamin beside me, my hands shaking even though I tried to keep them still."You do not have to do this," Benjamin said quietly. "No one would blame you if you turned around right now.""I would blame myself."The elevator ride to the maternity ward felt endless. I watched the numbers climb, just like I did at the Riverside Hotel yesterday. Was that really only yesterday? It felt like a lifetime ago.Floor 1. Floor 2. Floor 3."What room?" Benjamin asked.I checked my phone. Vincent had texted me the information. "Room 304."Floor 4. The doors opened.A nurse at the station looked up. "Can I help you?""We are here to see Tonia Williams," I said.The nurse checked her computer. "Are you family?""No. But she asked for me."The nurse looked confused but pointed down the hall. "Room 304. But she is in active labor, so you might not be able to stay long."We walked down the hallway. I
MY EX-HUSBAND'S BROTHER The Arrest
Benjamin's POV I arrived at the Harrison estate at eight in the morning. Detective Morrison and two uniformed officers were already there, parked discreetly down the street.Evelyn stood on the sidewalk, her arms crossed against the cold morning air. She wore jeans and a simple sweater, her hair pulled back. She looked tired but determined."You came," she said when she saw me."I said I would."Detective Morrison walked over, a warrant in his hand. "Ms. Henderson, we are ready whenever you are."Evelyn took a deep breath. "I am ready."We walked up the driveway together. I stayed close to Evelyn, close enough to catch her if she fell.She rang the doorbell.Richard answered in his pajamas, his hair a mess, his eyes bloodshot. When he saw Evelyn, his face lit up with desperate hope."Evelyn, thank God. I thought..." His eyes moved to me, then to the police officers behind us. "What is going on?"Detective Morrison stepped forward. "Richard Harrison, you are under arrest for embezzlem
MY EX-HUSBAND'S BROTHER The Confrontation
Benjamin's POVI watched my brother storm into the hotel room like he owned the place, and something dark twisted in my chest. Richard always did this. Always assumed he had the right to control every situation."Get out," I said, standing up. "This is my room. You were not invited."Richard's eyes moved from me to Evelyn, who sat frozen on the sofa, her face pale. "Evelyn, what are you doing here with him?""That is none of your business anymore," I replied before she could speak.Richard took a step toward me, his hands clenched into fists. "You stay away from my wife.""Your wife?" I laughed, cold and bitter. "The wife you cheated on? The one you have been stealing from? That wife?""What are you talking about?"I gestured to the laptop, the scattered documents. "She knows everything, Richard. The affair, the embezzlement, your bankruptcy, your plan to steal her father's company. All of it."Richard's face went white. He looked at Evelyn. "You went to him? To Benjamin? Of all peopl
MY EX-HUSBAND'S BROTHER The Hotel Room
Evelyn's POVThe Riverside Hotel was the kind of place where rooms cost more per night than my first car. I stood in the elevator watching the numbers climb, my reflection staring back at me from the mirrored walls.Floor 1. Floor 2. Floor 3.What was I doing here? I did not even know Benjamin. He left the family before Richard and I started dating. All I knew about him came from angry comments at family dinners. He was the son who abandoned his responsibilities, the one who broke his father's heart.Floor 4.The elevator doors opened.Room 412 was at the end of a long hallway. I raised my hand to knock, then hesitated.The door opened before my knuckles touched the wood.The man standing there was tall, dark hair like Richard but longer, less controlled. He wore jeans and a black shirt, no tie, no expensive watch. His eyes were the same color as his brother's but there was something different in them. Something sharp and aware."Evelyn," he said. "Thank you for coming.""How do you k
