Marrying The Wrong Brother 145 ~ Sloane
Despite Zane dissuading me from going to work the next day because I was sick all night. I refused.We had barely thrashed out our issues. Him doting on me was annoying to me.I was pregnant, not an invalid. And it was only for really short period of time. I knew that in about a week from then, it would all be in the past. So I went to work, fighting the dizzy spells and nausea however I knew how to with natural remedies. I sniffed peppermint as much as possible. It helped a bit but I was still struggling. Zane kept calling me every now and then. At some point I had to yell at him that I was fine and he should stop calling me.The next thing that followed were a bunch of texts that I chose to ignore, turning off notifications from his messages.Few hours later he sent lunch. I didn't have an appetite so I left it. I was low-key wishing I could starve myself into a miscarriage. But since that wasn't happening I was looking forward to my appointment the next day. Maya was walkin

My hands were shaking. And a cold sweat broke out on my forehead despite the fully air-conditioned room. I immediately wished I could undo the last twenty minutes. Why did I make the mistake of taking a pregnancy test?The nausea had gone beyond what I could understand. And the mood swings didn't help either.What sealed my suspicions was the fact that my period was late. Very late.That had never happened before. So out of nowhere on my way back from work, I spotted a pharmacy and asked my driver to swerve in. I nervously picked up the pack of DIY strips, paid and left the place, ignoring the knowing smile on the face of the nosy cashier. Zane wasn't back from the office yet so I had time to myself. But I locked the door anyway. I entered the bathroom, did what I was supposed to and then there was the waiting time.I waited for what felt like the longest time, hoping to see that I was right. That it was just a cold and not the thing I dreaded the most. I hoped and prayed it woul

I was at the bar with Theo celebrating him finally leaving the newborn trenches. Him and Sonia had been through it.She didn't want to come out tonight, I would have brought Sloane along if she agreed. "How's it going with the baby?" I asked him.His eyes lit up. "Oh she's just a perfect little angel. I can't believe she's six months old now.""Time really does fly quickly." I commented."It does."The way he gushed about it, I wondered if he was really celebrating the newborn phase ending because now it sounded like he missed it a lot more than he wanted to admit. That familiar yearning to experience a baby of my own returned the more he talked."I know that look,""What are you talking about?" I asked just as I took a swig of my beer."I had that look in my eye before Sonia got pregnant. She calls it baby fever."I chuckled, unable to lie to myself or him. "I do have baby fever. But unfortunately, my wife doesn't share the same sentiment.""Still on the no kids issue huh?""Yup."
Marrying The Wrong Brother 142 ~ Sloane
After a beautiful weekend well spent mostly in bed with my husband, the last thing I wanted was a board meeting first thing on Monday morning. I understand they had reviewed Veronica's case and lifting her suspension was long overdue. But why did they need me to be there? Did they enjoy tormenting me with the sight of my stepmother?That morning, dressed in a beige suit with an ankle length jacket white inner shirt and some black stilettos with my hair dropped in waves and makeup minimal, even I could admit I looked every bit of the part on the position I occupied. Anyone else who thought otherwise could fuck off. "Hey wifey,"Zane came from behind me as I admired myself in the mirror, handing me a cup of coffee. "Hey..." I said back with a small smile. "You're gorgeous." He kissed my neck.I found myself grinning like a cheshire cat."Thank you.""For?""For the coffee and the compliments?" It came out sounding more like a question than a statement.He kissed me anyway and told
Marrying The Wrong Brother 141
~Narrators voice~Rebecca watched them be all loved up again, feeling bitterness claw up inside of her.She would have been in Sloane's position and not a poor widow if she didn't choose that radical late husband of hers who never listened until he was murdered. Ethan had always been stubborn.Even when she begged him to leave certain things alone, he had insisted on digging deeper. He had convinced himself that doing the right thing would somehow protect their family.It hadn't. Now he was dead.And she was left with a daughter who barely remembered her, a mountain of bills and a life she didn't recognize anymore.Meanwhile, Zane had everything.His company, his money, a beautiful and successful wife whom he obviously loved. He has his comfortable home.And even Chloe.Everything Rebecca had lost seemed to have somehow found its way into Zane's hands.She hated him for it.At least, that was what she had told herself.She stood by the window of the guest bedroom, watching the light

Cole was standing near the bar with a group of people, holding a drink in one hand. His eyes met mine. For a second, neither of us moved. Then he excused himself from the group and started walking toward us. Of course he did. "Do you want to leave?" Maya asked quietly. I looked at Cole. Then at the crowded dance floor behind me. "No." I wasn't going to let him chase me out of a place I had barely enjoyed for an hour. She nodded in agreement. "Good." Cole stopped in front of us. "Sloane." "Cole." His eyes moved over me before settling back on my face. "You look good." "Thanks." Maya folded her arms, I could tell she was holding back her tongue. He glanced at her. "Hi." "Hello." The tension was thick enough to cut through. Cole looked back at me. "I didn't know you came here." "I didn't know you did either." I responded evenly. "I come here sometimes." Of course he did, jumping from one club to another like a junkie. "Good for you."
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
