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

  • Married To My Ex-husband's Half-brother    Chapter 22

    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 19

    NERIAH'S POV I've always known I shouldn't judge a book by its cover but this book...Gia.... she's totally readable. She seems to me like a spoiled brat who's had the world at her feet forever. She's walking towards me now, and all that's on my mind is how she's managed to hold Denver down for so long.When she knocked at my room door last night, I'd set my defenses up in case she wanted to fight, but surprisingly, she came to ask when we could share a cup of coffee. "Hi," she's almost breathless. Anyone would be, walking in the inches she wears daily. "Hi." There's a fake smile plastered on my face. I wonder what it is she wants. I'd have asked to see her after what Denver said but I wasn't sure I owed her my life yet. "Sorry I'm late, I've been trying to fix that presentation with Maya since yesterday." "What presentation?" She jerks her shoulder in a shrug, "Let's not talk about work on a date." Then winks at me. A date? I nearly burst into laughter. "So this....date..." A

  • Married To My Ex-husband's Half-brother    Chapter 18

    DENVER'S POVI'm not the type of man who falls for a woman. It's always the other way round.When I was fourteen, two different girls in school beat themselves up because they both had crushes on me. When I was fifteen, I dated a girl twice my age. At seventeen, I had three different girlfriends; one at school, one at church and one in the next apartment. At nineteen, I'd lost count of who the women in my life were. Except my mom, of course. It's completely safe to say I've never been crazy about any woman. Maybe excluding Gia. But I'm not even crazy about her. That's why it's surprising that I'd take one look at Neriah and lose all sense of reasoning. God, I just wanted to pin her to that table and slam into her from behind until her thighs tremble from exhaustion. I don't understand this feeling. The fact that she once belonged to Liam should irritate the hell out of me. Heck, it always did, but not anymore. Not now that she's only a couple of rooms away from me. Sighing, I gr

    NERIAH'S POVIt takes two to tango. Those were mom's favorite words. I'm glad I listened to them because they finally helped me win against Denver Chadwick last night. For some reason, I looked at the contract he asked me to sign again and that was when I saw it. It wasn't a legal document, it was just typed and printed. Possibly by him...or someone else. Humming slightly, I kick the pumps off my feet and walk over to the mirror to stare at my reflection. This is what power feels like. In no time Denver would be requesting an audience with me because he really needs my services and I'd be setting me own terms then. If he tries to play the contract card, he'd be reminded that he signed my contract too. An eye for an eye. Maybe my relation with the Chadwicks wouldn't end so badly afterall. I could request for my own car and apartment. Somewhere comfortable and close to the company. I'd be paid for my services of course, and if possible, I could be take that godforsaken bitch, Gia
