Marrying The Wrong Brother 153 ~ Sloane
~Few months later~Days turned into weeks and then into months.The merger had been successful despite the challenges thrown its way.We were finally going to host and even to celebrate the joining of Della-Ross Holdings' and Reed Industries.It was a good day. We also agreed to announce the pregnancy.Things had been looking up so far health-wise. And it seemed like I was finally in the clear.I walked down the stairs clad in a dark blue ankle length A-shaped dress that matched his suit. I didn't have much of a bump but to a person with a watchful eye, it was obvious that I was pregnant. Entering the second trimester made the pregnancy a little easier. The morning sickness and spontaneous bleeding had come to an abrupt halt, relieving me in more ways than I could express."You look so pretty!"I smiled warmly at Chloe as she complimented me."Thank you baby." I said. Rebecca had her face set in a frown as I hugged her daughter. There was still tension between us from months ago.
Marrying The Wrong Brother 152 ~ Sloane
Being in the hospital for the last couple of days was infuriating. All I wanted to do was be at my office, rocking some of the custom made outfits I just had delivered to my doorstep a week earlier.But here I was, stuck in a hospital room all because I almost had a miscarriage.I was stubborn anyways. I had my laptop with me as I worked even though I knew Zane would be pissed if he caught me doing anything but bed rest. I had spoken to Maya on the phone and told her everything that was happening. She couldn't come visit because she had a lot to handle at the office.Somehow my personal assistant had become my only friend. Weird. While I was responding to an email after reading through one of the many contracts for the merger, the door came open.I looked up and saw Chloe hopping in with a wide smile with Zane and Rebecca in tow.To say I was surprised was an understatement of how I felt. "Hey babe," Zane walked over and kissed me briefly. Then he helped Chloe sit on the bed as
Marrying The Wrong Brother 151 ~ Zane
Confrontations had a way of making me antsy even though I managed to keep a calm demeanor.After months of successfully avoiding the people that simply plagued my existence, today it felt like they ganged up against me.Roman, Asher and Cole were seated in my office when I walked in. Then and there, I knew my day was already ruined. And I had an idea of why they were here. "What are you all doing in my office?" I asked with a frown that expressed my displeasure, not to a full degree though. "Well hello to you too, brother." Cole was the first to speak. Ever forward with his statement.I ignored him and glanced at three of them, examining their expressions.Asher seemed fidgety for some reason, like he came here against his will buy didn't have a choice. Cole seemed to enjoying the chance to annoy me.And for my uncle, the bastard just sported a smirk that I found deeply irritating."I have work to do so please get into the reason why you're here." I said, eyes darting between thre
Marrying The Wrong Brother 150
~ Narrator's Voice~ Rebecca ransacked through her daughter's things yet again in search of it.Where could it possibly have been?Roman had practically threatened her to find it or else. She didn't need know what 'else' meant.All she knew was that she had to find the flash drive Ethan had smartly hidden with their daughter.Her heart raced at the thought of it going missing when Chloe was being hauled back and forth during the custody battle. What if someone knew what it was and had taken it?What if it had been destroyed?Wouldn't that be a good thing to Roman?The wheels in her head spun till her temples began to ache. She sat on the floor beside Chloe's bed, staring at the mess she'd made. She had checked the drawers twice already, searched beneath the mattress and even gone through the little boxes of toys Chloe hardly touched anymore.Nothing.Ethan had been clever.Too clever, perhaps.He had known that if he kept the flash drive somewhere obvious, someone would eventually f
Marrying The Wrong Brother 149 ~ Sloane
For several weeks, my relationship with Chloe had been somewhat strained. She got along well with Zane as always and of course her mother. But ever since Rebecca showed up, I'd find myself sidelined.Yes it began with me avoiding them because I didn't know how to feel about their bond. Then her mother made a conscious effort to keep her away from me and I had to respect the boundary. It didn't help that my job had kept me super busy and on top of that, I was now pregnant.The new beginning of our relationship I had looked forward to after Zane's proposal had taken a very different turn. And in between all of that, we were trying to merge our companies as fast as possible. It was overwhelming.I placed my palm on my belly and laid down for the first time since I woke up that day.The exhaustion I felt was inexplicable. The nausea didn't going anywhere despite all the medication and natural remedies. Maya often insisted I took breaks even when that was the last thing I wanted to
Marrying The Wrong Brother 148 ~ Sloane
I should have known what I signed up for when I decided to keep this pregnancy.Now Zane wouldn't leave my side for a second even when I had repeatedly told him I was fine. It was cute but equally annoying."Are you seriously thinking of following me to the office?""Yes.""You can't be serious." I grunted, rolling my eyes in annoyance, trying to arrange my stuff in my work handbag. "Maybe this is a good time for the merger."I paused and turned to him, my eyes widening slightly."Now?""Yes." He nodded."Are you...?" I held myself back from using the insult that was just on the tip of my tongue.I heaved a breath before looking at him again. "No.""Why not?""You're trying to use this pregnancy as an excuse to sideline me. This is why I didn't want to keep it in the first place.""No, no babe. You're getting it all wrong. I just don't want to you to stress.""With all the financial chaos going on in your company. A merger isn't looking good for me.""I have it all under control I
Marrying The Wrong Brother 6 ~ Zane
The post went live at 11:58 PM, and I watched the engagement metrics climb from my office with a drink in my hand that I sipped from slowly.Numbers didn't lie. Before I could keep track, the likes hit ten thousand in minutes and comments flooded in faster than the platform could organize them. Of

"You can't just move me into your house without asking."Zane didn't even glance at me as the car pulled up to the gates. The estate sprawled beyond them like something out of a fever dream. It had sharp angles, floor-to-ceiling glass. And it was perched on a cliff that overlooked the city like it
Marrying The Wrong Brother 4 ~ Zane
We are getting married tomorrow.Two days. That was all it had taken from the signed contract to the scheduled wedding. I had expected Sloane Reed to take the full three days, maybe longer. Instead she had called Patrick from the café, confirmed the date before she even stood up from the table, and
Marrying The Wrong Brother 3 ~ Sloane
He walked in and every head in the café turned. I had already been seated for ten minutes, black coffee in front of me that I hadn't touched, the file on the table within reach. I had chosen the corner table deliberately. Away from the windows, away from anyone who might recognize either of us and
