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 25

    NERIAH'S POV I'm almost like a fish out of water. Crystal chandeliers dangle like icicles, the music wraps itself softly around me like perfume, and every woman looks like a magazine cover brought to life. I sip nervously from the glass of champagne in my hand. I try not to let my nerves show as I walk around, head held high in the red dress I borrowed from my neighbor. It's tighter than what I’d normally wear, a little too bold, but I need to look like I belong here.The last time I was at an occasion like this, I was Liam's wife. Myles fixes his eyes on me from across the room and flashes that charming smile that used to make me stutter in high school. He crosses the room effortlessly in long strides, glass of champagne in hand, and pulls me into a friendly hug."Still stunning as usual, eh?" his warm breath tingles my ears. I force a smile, taking a step back. "You clean up pretty well too."His shoulders jerk with roaring laughter as he places a hand gently on the small of m

    LAURA'S POVI toss another of Liam junior’s shirts into the duffel bag and try not to think. Thinking's what got me in this mess to begin with. My hand brushes against the plush dinosaur Ezra sleeps with and my chest caves a little. I shove it in too, right on top of his socks and toothbrush. We don’t have time for neatness.I’ve taken two of Liam’s credit cards and shoved a handful of his expensive watches and one of his Rolex into a velvet pouch. They clink softly in the pocket of my coat. This isn't stealing, it's just borrowing. I'm taking my own share of this empire and getting the fuck out of here so that when that lunatic black man shows up again with talks of bombs and threats, I'd be miles away in Vegas.I zip the bag and sling it over my shoulder. My hands are trembling but I can't stop now. Every single thing I did; betraying my sister, deceiving Liam... everything was so I could live better. Not die. Baby Liam's coat is draped over the armchair. I grab it, turn toward t

  • Married To My Ex-husband's Half-brother    Chapter 23

    NERIAH'S POVI can barely feel my legs as I walk down the hall. Each step is slow and heavy, like I’m dragging invisible chains behind me. I haven’t eaten all day, but I doubt I could have, even if I tried.My fingers are numb around the laptop I'm clutching. My throat is tight, still raw from holding back tears I refused to cry in front of Denver. I signed away ten years of my life this morning. Ten years. For what? A job? Survival? A place to sleep?I keep my eyes low, afraid they’ll give me away if anyone so much as looks at me. I don’t want to see pity in anyone’s face. Not after what Gia did. Not after how Denver just... watched. Unmoved...As if I deserved it.As if I deserve any of this. When I finally glance up, it’s only to get my bearings. But then I freeze. Through the glass conference room ahead, I see Gia. She’s shaking hands with someone tall and broad-shouldered. He's wearing a fitted navy suit and he's relaxed...almost arrogant.I know this build. Almost immediately,

    DENVER'S POV I’m halfway through reviewing the Q3 projections when the door slams open without a knock.It's Neriah. “And when did you start barging into my office like this?” I ask, running my gaze over her from head to toe. She looks wild-eyed and disheveled, like she's on the run from something hideous. She stops in the middle of the room, blinking like she’s trying to pull herself together but failing. “I... I'm sorry. I just... I'm just..."I raise a brow. “And why are you just getting here? It’s past noon.”Her eyes glisten. She opens her mouth, then clamps it shut. When she speaks again, her voice is small. “Gia came into my room this morning and told me to leave the house. She had the butlers pack up my stuff.”I stare at her trying to register why she's sharing this piece of information with me. Of course i know Gia asked her stuff to be moved, I gave the go ahead when Gia suggested it last night. “She said I wasn’t welcome in the house anymore...." She continues. I've ne

  • Married To My Ex-husband's Half-brother    Chapter 21

    DENVER'S POV I've never seen her so pissed. I'd looked into the large amounts of monies Neriah had talked about and asked for a meeting with Gia. I never expected that she'd be so furious with the idea that she was mismanaging the company's funds. "I let you bring her in. Not to insult me, but so I could help you achieve your dreams." She's tapping her feet incessantly on the floor. I hate it when she does that. "What was it you said again? Yes...you want to be the Denver Chadwick Liam deprived you of. This is how you become him? By biting the very hands that have upheld you?" My fingers rub at my temple in circular motions. I never suspected that she was manhandling the company's funds but since Neriah was the financial expert I decided to heed her concerns. "Gia...Baby, I'm sorry. I trust you completely and I don't harbor any ill ideas towards you. I was just trying to implement what Neriah suggested."She swirls around with such force that I'm scared she'll fall. Especially in

  • Married To My Ex-husband's Half-brother    Chapter 20

    DENVER'S POV They still haven't found it. Liam's smart, but not smart enough to keep something hidden so carefully. Someone must have alerted him. Maybe that Laura girl's snooping has made him know that his ledger isn't safe anymore. If I don't find the ledger, I can't find dad's will. Inhaling deeply, I rise to my feet, walking from my work space to look out the window at the tranquility of the premises. I'd have chosen to let Liam go and just focus on building my company, but after what he did to Neriah, I just couldn't sit back. I'm not doing this for her, no. She just gave me a better reason I shouldn't forgive that bastard, and by God, I won't. Even after getting my revenge. Knocks jerk me back to reality. Turning around, my brows cringe as Neriah walks into the office. She's in a longer skirt today, but this one's hugging every bit of her frame. It's worse than the short one. My throat constricts dryly as I swallow. I drag my eyes away from her thighs and try to keep them
