Married To My Enemy’s Brother Chapter 10 : What He Thought Was His
Ryan called before the sound of Damian’s footsteps had faded from the hallway.I stared at his name glowing across my screen, my pulse still unsettled from everything that had happened tonight. I had just told Damian I thought I was falling in love with him, and now the man who had spent four years teaching me what betrayal felt like was calling as if he still had the right to reach into my life whenever he pleased. I almost let it ring.Then I answered.What do you want, Ryan?”For a few seconds, he said nothing.I could hear his breathing, slow and deliberate, as though he was choosing every word before letting it out. You sound happy. My fingers tightened around the phone. I was. A quiet laugh came through the speaker.Was?I glanced toward Damian. He had stopped near the bar, his attention fixed on me. He didn’t ask who was calling. He already knew. I don’t have time for this.”You always say that when you’re angry with me. No. I say it now because I don’t want to talk to you.His vo
Married To My Enemy’s Brother CHAPTER 9 : The Line He Crossed
The penthouse was too quiet.After everything that had happened, I expected Damian to make a phone call, summon another lawyer, or tell me what we were doing next.Instead, he poured me a glass of water and left it on the table. Then he sat across from me.No questions. No instructions. Just silence.I wrapped both hands around the glass.My mind kept returning to Ryan’s face in that courtroom.The shock when he saw Damian beside me.The way his confidence disappeared.The way he’d looked at me afterward, as if he couldn’t understand how the woman he’d left crying had walked into that courtroom with her head held high.I keep thinking I should be crying, I said.Damian leaned back. Why?Because my marriage is over. His eyes stayed on me. Do you want it back? The question caught me off guard. No. The answer came too quickly.I looked down in shame I wanted Ryan to love me. I wanted him to choose me. But I don’t want what we had anymore.Damian said nothing. I swallowed.I don’t even r
Married To My Enemy’s Brother Chapter 8 : The Witness
The courthouse doors had barely closed behind us when Damian stopped walking. Don’t turn around.I frowned. “Why? Because Ryan is watching you.I almost smiled. Let him. Damian’s eyes settled on me.There was something different in them now. Not anger. Something quieter. More dangerous.“You shouldn’t provoke him.”“I spent four years being careful not to provoke him.”I adjusted my handbag on my shoulder. Look where that got me. A muscle moved in Damian’s jaw.Before he could answer, a man in a dark suit approached us from across the lobby.Mr. Knight. Damian’s expression hardened. Not here.”The man stopped. I thought you should know. He came forward. Damian went completely still. Who?”“The former financial controller. My heart skipped.“What former financial controller? The man glanced at me. Damian didn’t introduce us. He didn’t need to.I already knew something important had just happened. Where is he? Waiting in the car.” Damian looked at me. You’re coming with me. I blinked.E
Married To My Enemy’s Brother CHAPTER 7 : The Court Hearing
Ryan expected me to walk into that courtroom alone.He expected the woman who had spent four years smoothing over his bad moods, defending him to her family, and swallowing every hurt because she loved him.He was about to meet someone else.I stepped out of Damian’s car and adjusted the sleeve of my cream blazer. My hands were cold, but I refused to let them shake.Damian came around the car. For one second, I looked at him. He didn’t ask if I was ready.He simply held out his hand. I stared at it. Then I took it. His fingers closed around mine, firm and warm. The gesture shouldn’t have meant so much.It did. Inside the courthouse, Ryan was waiting with his lawyer. Sophia stood beside him.The moment Ryan looked up and saw me, his expression changed. Then he saw Damian.The color drained from his face. I almost smiled.Almost. Ryan’s eyes moved between us, lingering on Damian’s hand around mine.What the hell is he doing here? His voice carried across the corridor. Damian didn’t even
Married To My Enemy’s Brother Chapter 6 : The trap
The signature at the bottom of that page looked like mine, but I had no memory of giving Ryan permission to destroy my life with it.I kept staring at the screen. The words refused to make sense. No. Damian didn’t move. I looked at him. “That’s not possible. You signed it. I know my signature. Then you know what that means.I pushed the phone away.No. I signed divorce papers. I didn’t sign away everything I own.Damian’s expression remained unreadable. Those aren’t the same thing. My chest tightened.I took the phone back and read the clause again.Then I remembered the day Ryan’s lawyer had come to the hotel. The papers had been thick. Too thick.I had been exhausted, humiliated, barely sleeping. Ryan had already frozen my accounts by then, and I had spent most of the meeting trying not to cry in front of a stranger.The lawyer had kept saying the same thing. It’s a straightforward divorce. I had believed him. God, I had been stupid. I want a copy. You’ll have one.I want the entire
Married To My Enemy’s Brother CHAPTER 5 The First Rule
The moment Damian’s car pulled away from the curb, I regretted getting inside it.I kept my eyes on the window, watching the city blur past while my fingers tightened around the strap of my handbag.I should have gone back to the motel.Instead, I was sitting beside a man whose name had been whispered across my husband’s family dinner table for years.A man I had never spoken to until today.You’re awfully quiet. I glanced at Damian.He was watching the road, one hand resting loosely on the steering wheel.I don’t know what I’m supposed to say. Nothing.His answer surprised me. I looked back outside.For the first time since yesterday, nobody was asking me what happened. Nobody was telling me how sorry they were. Nobody was looking at me like I might break.Damian simply drove. And somehow, that was worse.Because silence left too much room for my thoughts.Ryan’s face came back to me. His voice.I want a divorce.Four years of marriage reduced to four words.I pressed my forehead aga
