NERIAH'S POV

The nerve of that bastard.

The last time I regretted a decision I took, I was fifteen. That was the day after Christmas. My mom had this reunion with her high school girlfriends at Oklahoma but I needed her car to pick Laura up from her boyfriend's.

She'd kept calling that day but because I didn't want to leave Laura I kept stalling.

If I'd take that car to her when she called the first, second or third time, she'd have missed the truck that bashed her off the road.

My dad didn't survive after her death. I lost my both parents because I was trying to play my role as big sister.

That numb feeling that took over me after hearing my mom was involved in a crash is the exact same way I feel right now.

Even if I had to accept a deal from someone who could help me get back at Liam, it shouldn't have been his half brother. That son-of-a-bitch is all out to tear the rest of my life to irrecoverable shreds.

The flight to Florida was more comfortable than I thought. We board

  • Married To My Ex-husband's Half-brother    Chapter 79

    LAURA'S POV I want to get the hell away from all of this. It's the second day since I've been unable to successfully catch a good night's sleep. Liam's snoring softly beside me, making me the more nervous.I used to think I was a smart assed bitch but I've fucked up. Big time. The man I sleep with every night is a murderer. The man I made the father of my son kills people without second thoughts. My stomach churns as I roll over to the end of the bed. I haven't been able to eat either. Letting out a loud huff, I rise from the bed. I need a drink to clear my head. Liam said Professor Henry Dickson had kept him in business school because he wasn't "..fit enough to go into the business world with his grades." His father had issues with his friend because of this causing the two men to drift apart.Then why would Chadwick hand over his journal to someone he'd drifted away from for so many years? Liam said Professor Dickson didn't show up at their house again for almost ten years. And

    DENVER'S POV When the first tear drops, I almost can't believe it's pouring from my eyes. "It's okay, Denver. It's okay." Her warm hands trail up and down my spine, soothing the searing pain in my heart. I wasn't related to Derek, but he shouldn't have died for me. If he'd tried to save his life, either I or Edwards would be dead by now. Especially since I wasn't with any weapon. Neriah hooks her arm in mine and leads me gently away from the garden into the mansion. I hear her calling for Ethan, I can't hear what she says, she's probably mouthing something to him. My hands are numb and trembling from all the blows but I don't care. And for the fact that I can't exactly dive into the case so as not to alert the cops or lead them to me. That's the last kind of publicity I need right now. "Denver, can you hear me?" I nod my head weakly, giving her a smile to ease her mind. I can see the troubled look in her eyes and I wish I could do something to take it away because it makes me n

    DENVER'S POV Now there's blood on my hands. The cops arrived the minute Derek landed at my feet. "Hands in the air where I can see them!" I kept hearing those words but they made no sense to me. Edwards was in my arms and Derek was at my feet. "We need your hands where we can see them, sir." Someone said again, placing two fingers on Edward's neck. "This one's alive!" She yelled. She's a female officer. "Sir, can you hear me?" I feel like screaming at her. Like opening my mouth and releasing all the pent up anger and sorrow inside of me so that she can feel how I feel. Or better still, understand it. Someone lifts me to my feet, helping Edwards out of my hands. The female officer feels for Derek's pulse. "He's dead." She looks up at me. "Do you know who did this?" "I'm going to find him. Or her." Those are the only words I say as I rise to my feet, following the other officer who's nudging me gently away from the scene. I put a call across to Samuel the minute

    LAURA'S POV I've never seen my husband so broken. He's sitting like the entire world's on his shoulders, head sagging, hands clasped weakly together. I used to think I was just going to come into his life and leave as swiftly as possible but it seems I've been dragged into shit I never bargained for. No wonder it was easy for him to orchestrate Neriah's murder. It wasn't his first. "Why'd you do it?" He shakes his head still unable to look into my eyes. "I just couldn't believe he'd choose Denver over me. I was his perfect son, the one he constantly bragged would take over his empire and make him proud. What suddenly changed?" "Why didn't you ask him?" I know I'm a heartlessness bitch but killing any of my parents? That's extreme. And to think it was over some money. He has all the money in the world now. If Liam could kill his father and kill Neriah then he can probably kill me. This realization makes me edge back towards the couch behind me. "I actually went in to sp

    NERIAH'S POV The king of America. I can swear I've seen that inscription on a t-shirt Laura used to wear. She had gotten it from that miserable thug of a boyfriend who she'd been following about during college. I would have said it was probably that guy but he's too silly to be dreaded the way Eden said it. She's snoring softly on my couch now. I can still see pink bruises from the wounds healing on her face and hands. I wonder what they do to her wherever she goes. I wonder where she even goes. My mom would ask me to 'keep away from matters that don't concern me directly' but I can't shake this feeling off when it comes to Eden. There's just this nudge to help her. To know her. I can't explain why. Her large eyes flicker open and she rubs her eyes on them sleepily. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" I shrug. Even I don't have an answer to that question. I've tossed and turned on the blankets I spread out on the ground but I just can't sleep. "I guess I'll sleep in the morning

  • Married To My Ex-husband's Half-brother    Chapter 74

    DENVER'S POV Thankfully, there's no blood on my hands. I rushed Mr Edwards to the hospital the minute his eyes shut close, calling out that it was an emergency. He was taken to the ICU when I told them I suspect a case of poisoning and now, he's breathing soundly in one of the words. I'm standing on the other side of his room, looking at him. His words keep echoing in my head..."Someone wants me dead and that person is a woman." This guy knows more than he's let on, but it has almost cost his life so I won't be putting him under pressure to speak. At least until he opens his eyes. I need to fucking know what's going on. What woman wants him dead? Could it be that snake, Laura? How did she know about him? I know she and Liam are working together but she hadn't met Liam when my father died. That means she wasn't there when Barrister Jordan was killed. I traced the period the barrister went missing and it was only a couple of weeks after my dad died.Something doesn't add up here.
