Married To My Enemy’s Brother Chapter 30: Tears in The Dark
"I don't need your pity, Damian. I don't need anyone right now. Just let me be My own voice echoed in my head as I pulled my hand back, stepping out of Damian’s reach the second his elevator doors slid open in the hotel lobby. He had tried to grab my arm, his dark eyes frantic, asking where I had been and why my face looked so ghost-white. But I couldn't look at him. Every word Victoria had spat in my face—cheap slut, gold-digger, broken woman—was still ringing in my ears like a loud, violent alarm.I turned my back on him and ran, my legs moving on complete autopilot until I reached the hotel suite.The heavy wooden door clicked shut. The deadbolt snapped into place.And just like that, the quiet swallowed me whole.The blanket of silence was too heavy, too thick. My hands began to shake violently as I dropped my purse onto the floor. I took two steps toward the center of the room, but my knees gave out completely. I hit the floor hard, my knees smashing against the cold wood, but I
Married To My Enemy’s Brother Chapter 29: The Matriarch's Summons
"You carry bad luck, Eva, and I won't let you destroy my son."The door to the penthouse had barely clicked shut behind Damian before Victoria Knight swept into the room like a cold front.Damian had left at dawn to handle an emergency board meeting triggered by Ryan's viral video, leaving me alone in the quiet suite. I hadn't even finished my first cup of coffee when the door unlocked and Victoria stepped inside, flanked by two towering men in black suits.She didn't knock. She didn't ask permission. She walked in like she owned the building, her tailored cream suit pristine, her dark silver hair swept into a tight bun, and a heavy pearl necklace resting against her neck. She looked immaculate, powerful, and entirely dangerous."Mrs. Knight," I said, my voice tight as I set my mug down on the glass table. "Damian isn't here.""I know he isn't," Victoria replied, her eyes sweeping over my worn clothes and pale face with absolute disgust. "I waited for my son to leave so I wouldn't hav
Married To My Enemy’s Brother Chapter 28: The Cold Shield
"Touch her again, Ryan, and I'll bury you before Alive.Damian didn't wait for a response. He covered the distance between them in two lethal strides, his large hand snapping around Ryan’s wrist with bone-crushing force.A sharp crack echoed through the rain as Damian twisted Ryan's arm back, forcing him to release my soaked coat. Before Ryan could even scream, Damian’s heavy fist slammed directly into the side of his jaw.The impact sounded like a dropped stone. Ryan was lifted off his feet, crashing hard onto the wet stone steps."Damian, stop!" I gasped, my throat tight as the rain blinded my eyes.Damian didn't hear me. He was a creature of pure, unbridled violence now. He stepped over Ryan, grabbed him by the collar of his expensive suit, and yanked him up only to drive a devastating knee straight into his ribs. Ryan let out a pathetic, wet choke, coughing blood onto the white marble. Damian threw him against the heavy front door, his hand clamping around Ryan's throat, shutting
Married To My Enemy’s Brother Chapter 27: The Monster at the Door
You have ten minutes, Eva, or the entire country hears what a dirty little fraud you are.Ryan’s voice came through the phone like cold grease on a raw wound.I stood at the edge of the stone driveway. The dark iron gates of the Croft estate loomed over me like the bars of a cage. Cold rain whipped across my face, soaking straight through my clothes and plastering my hair to my neck. But the freezing water didn't compare to the icy numb feeling spreading through my chest.I'm at the gate, Ryan," I said, keeping my voice dead even. "Open it.The heavy iron doors groaned as they pulled back. I stepped through, my heels clicking hard against the wet asphalt. Every step felt like walking toward a firing squad, but I forced my chin up. My heart was pounding like a trapped bird against my ribs, but I locked my face into stone. I refused to let him see me shake.Ryan stood on the grand porch under the covered stone entrance. He wore a crisp suit, casually swirling a glass of dark liquor in h
Married To My Enemy’s Brother Chapter 26: Shadows of the Bloodline
Get out.My voice didn't shake, but those two words cut through the suffocating silence of the suite like a blade.I stood paralyzed beside the desk, my fingers gripping the cool edge of the wood so hard my knuckles turned white. My eyes burned, hot and heavy with tears that threatened to spill, but I jammed my teeth together and swallowed the sob rising in my throat. I refused to cry. I refused to show a single drop of weakness in front of him.Damian didn't step back immediately. Standing at well over six feet, his massive frame towered in the dim light, the powerful CEO who commanded an entire corporate empire now looking down at me with raw, aching restraint. The air between us felt heavy enough to choke on, thick with secrets that had just ripped my world apart.Eva, listen to meWhat did I just watch, Damian?!" I turned my head, staring straight into his face, my voice cracking under the weight of a thousand shattering realities. "That the man who raised me... the man I called m
Married To My Enemy’s Brother Chapter 25: The Venom in the Veins
"Get your filthy hands off me!"Sophia’s voice tore through the room like glass breaking on stone.Before her heels hit the floor, two of Damian’s guards filled the doorway. Their broad shoulders blocked her right at the edge of the foyer.Behind me, Damian’s chest moved in heavy, hard beats against my back. His broad hand held my waist like a lock. Slowly, he lowered my feet to the ground, but his grip stayed tight, holding me steady while my knees threatened to give out.Sophia yanked her jacket straight. Her hands shook as she smoothed down her silk sleeves. A ugly laugh rasped out of her throat.She looked past the guards, her eyes stabbing right into mine with a dark, bitter hate that had been festering under her fake smiles for four long years."Look at you," she sneered, her top lip curling over her teeth. "Crawling straight out of one Knight's bed and into his cousin's before the sheets even get cold."The air in the room went dead cold.Damian’s jaw clamped shut, the muscle b
