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

  • Married To My Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 79: The Echo of Betrayal

    Damian please… not right now I can’t deal with you too. I just want to focus on my work right now.So please leave I beg you sir.The sharp, ice-cold warning snapped through the heavy, sterile air of Eva’s executive office like a cracking whip.Only moments earlier, she had been sitting at her desk staring blankly at her blinking phone screen as Damian’s name lit up the display for the third time that afternoon. She hadn't answered a single one of his calls. She didn't want his apologies, she didn't want his guilt, and she certainly didn't want his half-hearted attempts at damage control. She wanted him out of her life for good, permanently severed from the wreckage he had allowed his toxic family to create.What does he even want from me anyway? she had thought bitterly, her fingers gripping her pen so tightly her knuckles turned white. His high school sweetheart is coming back into his life to take her rightful place by his side. Let him go play house with her.She had been complete

    "How much?"Eva paused, her hand hovering over the edge of the mahogany desk as she stared across the room. "Excuse me?""I asked you how much," Victoria repeated, her voice dripping with cold, unadulterated disdain as she adjusted the immaculate lapel of her emerald Chanel suit. "How much do you need me to pay you to leave my son alone, take your things, and disappear from Damian's life permanently?"The sharp, transactional demand cut straight through the heavy, oppressive silence of the private drawing room. The morning sun was barely beginning to slice through the tall French windows, casting long, pale beams across the expensive Persian rug, but the air inside was already freezing.Victoria Knight stood near the marble fireplace, perfectly composed, holding a porcelain teacup in one gloved hand while her glacial eyes swept over Eva with an expression of profound contempt.Eva let out a dry, humorless laugh, shaking her head as she crossed her arms tightly over her chest. "You rea

    "Think you can creep into my bedroom like a filthy animal in the dark and drug me, Ryan? You picked the wrong night to wake the dead."The low, vibrating hiss sliced through the pitch-black silence of the master bedroom like a razor-sharp blade.Ryan, who had just managed to quietly click the master key into the lock and slip across the threshold with a small, glass pharmaceutical vial clutched tightly in his sweating palm, froze dead in his tracks. He blinked furiously against the darkness, his eyes straining to adjust to the shadows. He thought she was fast asleep, vulnerable, and completely defenseless beneath the heavy covers of the king-sized bed.Instead, the bed was empty.Before Ryan could even process the warning, before his brain could register that the heavy mound beneath the blankets was nothing more than a pile of stacked pillows, a dark, heavy silhouette stepped out from the blind spot beside the heavy oak wardrobe.It was Eva.Her hands were wrapped firmly around the th

    "Let him try to open that door. Let him take a single step into this room tonight, and I will tear him apart with my bare hands."The vicious whisper cut through the suffocating darkness of the master bedroom, sharp and toxic with a lethal promise.Eva stood rigidly beside her vanity table, her chest heaving as the terrifying echo of Ryan and Sophia’s conspiring voices still rang in her ears. Her phone sat facedown on the dark wood, the screen dead, but the chilling blueprint of Ryan's premeditated assault was permanently burned into her brain. He was planning to drug her, to violate her unconscious body while she was helpless, and to weaponize the footage to destroy whatever was left of her life and her connection to Damian.She couldn't sleep. The adrenaline surging through her veins was too hot, too volatile, burning every ounce of exhaustion away. A hundred times, her hand hovered over her cell phone, itching to dial Damian’s number. She wanted to call him right now. She needed hi

    "If you think you can walk out of this bathroom and lock me out of your life, you are gravely, pathetically mistaken, Eva!"Ryan’s muffled, furious shouting and heavy fist-banging against the locked master bedroom door echoed sharply down the hallway, but Eva barely registered the sound. Her entire world had narrowed down to the glowing rectangle of glass in her hand.The screen flickered, the encrypted video feed stabilizing, and suddenly, a live, high-definition security stream materialized right before her eyes.Eva’s breath hitched violently in her throat, a cold wave of absolute horror washing over her skin.It was a live feed of the downstairs sitting room—her sitting room, right downstairs in the house Damian had purchased for her months ago. The camera angle was impossibly high, tucked discreetly near the crown molding in a corner she had never noticed before. A faint, blinking red micro-lens revealed the truth in an instant: it was one of the hidden security feeds Damian must

  • Married To My Enemy’s Brother    Chapter 74: The Delusions of a Desperate Man

    "If you don't turn around and walk out of this bathroom right this second, Ryan, I swear to God I will call building security and have you thrown out into the street like the pathetic stray dog you are."The sharp, ice cold warning snapped through the heavy, vapor filled air of the master ensuite before Ryan could even fully close the door behind him. The bathroom was sweltering, thick with steam rising from the oversized Jacuzzi tub, wrapping around Eva’s tired limbs like a heavy, comforting blanket. She had barely managed to sink into the bubbling, scalding water the kind of searing heat her bruised, exhausted body desperately needed to purge the filth of the entire week and pour herself a generous glass of deep red cabernet. Closing her eyes, she had finally begun to feel the tight, agonizing knots in her muscles uncoil.And then, the heavy mahogany door had violently flung open without so much as a polite knock, shattering the fragile peace she had fought so hard to find.Eva open
