Married To My Sister’s Man: Becoming Strangers Again CHAPTER 60
EUDORATo hell with it, I am done running, done running from my feelings, done hiding behind my fears, done convincing myself that keeping my heart locked away would somehow protect me from getting hurt again.Yes, Desmond had broken me.Yes, my family had disappointed me more times than I could count.Yes, I had spent most of my life wondering what it felt like to be truly loved and chosen without conditions attached.But none of that was a good enough reason to keep pushing away the one person who had done nothing but care for me.Orion deserved an answer.And for the first time in a very long time, I wanted to be brave enough to give him one.My heart pounded wildly against my chest as I rose onto my tiptoes and before I could second-guess myself, I pressed my lips against his.The kiss was soft at first, almost hesitant, but it carried every emotion I had been too afraid to put into words.For a second, Orion froze.His eyes widened slightly in surprise, as if he couldn't quite be

ORIONPulling up outside Eudora’s house, I killed the engine but remained seated behind the wheel, my eyes instinctively drifting toward her bedroom window.I stared at it for several long seconds, wondering if she was already asleep.It was well past eleven at night. Most people would be in bed by now, especially after a long day. Yet here I was, sitting in my car like a nervous teenager.The moment my plane landed, I had driven straight here from the airport without stopping anywhere else.I just wanted to see her.God, I missed her.The past few days felt far longer than they should have. No matter how busy I kept myself, thoughts of Eudora kept finding their way back into my head. Her smile. Her laugh. Even the stubborn way she argued with me.Resting my forearms on the steering wheel, I lowered my head and released a slow breath.Should I go inside?Would she even want to see me?The last time things hadn’t exactly ended on a good note. We had argued, and knowing Eudora, there wa

DESMOND My head felt like it was seconds away from splitting open. Too much had happened in such a short time, and my mind is struggling to process it all.For years, I had been living a lie.I had believed the wrong person saved my life that day. I had spent years feeling grateful to someone who never deserved my gratitude. I had carried a sense of loyalty and debt toward her, all while treating the woman who had actually rescued me like she was the enemy.The truth made me sick.While I was thanking one woman, I was destroying another.Eudora had suffered because of me.Not only had I put her through physical pain, but I had also stolen something that rightfully belonged to her. I had taken from her while convincing myself that I was justified.Jesus Christ.By the time I reached the SUV, my jaw was clenched so tightly that it hurt.Herbert immediately stepped forward and pulled the door open for me. He bowed his head respectfully, but I barely acknowledged him as I climbed inside.

DESMOND “Why are we stopping here?” Mum asked slowly as she peered through the car window at the small restaurant sitting by the roadside.The moment she got a proper look at the building, her face twisted into a deep frown of disapproval.“Please don't tell me this is where you're planning to take us for lunch,” she said, sounding personally offended by the idea.Beside her, Mrs. Dawson leaned forward and glanced out of the window as well. Her reaction wasn't much different.Her eyebrows immediately knitted together.“I have to admit,” she said carefully, “I didn't take you for someone who would choose a place like this to eat.”I bit back a smile.Neither woman looked impressed.From the outside, the restaurant wasn't exactly the kind of place people would brag about visiting. The building looked old, the paint was fading in several places, and the sign hanging above the entrance had clearly seen better days.“Her food is amazing,” I said, stretching the truth a little. I have neve

ORIONA business emergency dragged me back to New York for a few days, and while I was there, I decided I might as well pay the witness a visit. It had been on my mind for a while, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to finally get some answers.The address led us to a small, aging restaurant tucked away on a quiet street.Not wanting to walk in, ask questions, and immediately make the old woman suspicious, Cartier and I took a table and ordered two bowls of soup. I had no intention of actually eating. The food was simply an excuse to sit down and make ourselves look like regular customers.Cartier, however, appeared to have completely different plans.I leaned back in my chair and watched with amusement as he attacked the bowl in front of him. Spoon after spoon disappeared into his mouth at an alarming speed. Within minutes, half the soup was gone.I raised an eyebrow.“When was the last time you actually ate something?” I asked with a chuckle. “You’re eating like a man who

ORION“I’ve been thinking about moving away.”My eyes shifted from Ariel, who was laughing happily with her friends a few feet away, to Eudora.“Are you running away because of Desmond and Camellia?” I asked bluntly.Keeping her eyes on Ariel, she released a long, tired sigh before slowly shaking her head. “No, I’m not running away. I’m protecting my daughter.”“Sounds exactly the same to me.”The thought alone irritated me. The fact that she was considering leaving the life she had built…leaving me, made my jaw clench.She turned away from Ariel and looked at me.“Desmond has shown up,” she said softly. “Camellia has shown up too. And sooner or later, her parents will find me as well.”She paused for a moment.“If they keep appearing one after another, it’s only a matter of time before they discover the truth about Ariel.”The fear in her voice was subtle, but I heard it.“You can’t hide forever,” I clasped my hands together tightly, stopping myself from reaching for her. Every insti

EUDORALike I usually do after a long day, I stopped by the mall to pick up a few art pens. It was supposed to be a quick errand, nothing dramatic, nothing out of the ordinary. Just in and out.But the moment I stepped out of the mall, something felt… off.A group of men stood clustered around my c

EUDORAIt had only been two weeks, yet the reality of the pregnancy was already settling into my body in the most uncomfortable ways. Everything around me felt off. Even the faintest smell made my stomach twist. Eating had become a struggle too. My appetite had dropped so low it felt like it didn’t

EUDORABy the time I returned from my doctor’s appointment, everything had already been moved.Everything, down to the smallest, most personal items. Even my powder puff was gone. Everything that once belonged to me was dumped into the basement.I stood there for a moment, taking it all in, a hollo

DESMOND“What did she say?”Camellia’s voice drifted across the space as she stepped out of the pool, water glistening on her skin. Droplets slid slowly down her body from her back down to cleavage as she reached for the champagne glass resting at the pool’s edge.For a moment, I didn’t answer. My
