“I can explain; it’s…it’s not what it looks like.”

Aria stammered only for the door behind her to burst open, revealing Kayden.

“You forgot your purse,” he said, handing Aria the purse she didn't even remember carrying.

She inwardly winced, wishing to kick Kayden in the head for blowing her cover. She could feel James' gaze on both of them.

“Thank you,” she squeaked, stretching her hand for the purse that now felt like an eyesore.

‘She must have dropped it when he pulled her into the ward.

  • My Brother-in-law's sinful offer   50

    Present time… Andrew stood quietly behind Damian as the high-stakes video conference dragged on. A department head had just finished a dense presentation when Andrew noticed Damian drifting off again. Leaning down, Andrew whispered discreetly into Damian's ear, "Boss, Mr. Lee has finished the presentation."Damian snapped back to reality, suddenly noticing the dozen pairs of eyes staring at him through the monitor.*What the hell is wrong with me?* he thought, a cold spike of unease hitting his chest. Why couldn't he concentrate? This was entirely unlike him. He was losing his iron grip on his focus—and at an alarming speed that genuinely unnerved him.Ignoring the executive waiting for feedback from across the screen, Damian flicked his hand, beckoning Andrew to lean down once more."Any updates on her whereabouts?"Andrew shook his head grimly. "Not yet, Boss. Jake is still stationed at the hospital. The last update he sent me about ten minutes ago confirmed she still hasn't show

    Author's POV Sterling Corporation, headquarters… 2 hours earlier…Damian sat behind his expansive desk, while Andrew stood before him holding an iPad, reading through the morning's schedule."These are the files on the Tokyo expansion project," Andrew said, sliding a folder across the desk. "The video conference with the Tokyo Board of Directors starts in twenty minutes."Andrew continued reading even though his boss remained silent. "You have a meeting with the vice chairman of..." He finished running through the daily itinerary and paused, waiting for a response, but received none. That was when Andrew realized his boss was distracted—again. "Boss? Boss?" Andrew called out to regain his attention.Damian, lost deep in thought, snapped his gaze up and fixed Andrew with a sharp glare. "What?""Do you have any instructions?""What instructions?""Regarding today's schedule, Boss. I... I just finished reading your itinerary for the day.""Read it again," Damian said."But you've mad

    I rolled my eyes at her, pulling out a chair and sitting down directly across from Sophia."Oh, stepmother, the world doesn't revolve around you," I said with a mocking smile. "You should just stick to your little act of playing dress-up as the lady of this house. I didn't come here to talk to you; I came to see my father."Sophia immediately turned to my dad, her voice dripping with grievance. "Dear, are you just going to sit there and let her speak to me like this? She's openly disrespecting me in my own home."A harsh laugh slipped past my lips. Her own home?My father stared at me across the table, his gaze frigid. "What's so funny? Apologize to your mother right now!" he demanded."Why should I?" I retorted, my tone sharp. "I only spoke the truth. This house rightfully belonged to my mom. If she hadn't been so trusting—if she hadn't welcomed a poisonous snake into her own home, only for her husband to prove he preferred snakes all along—would she be lying in a hospital bed right

    Arabella's POVI stirred awake, my mind swimming in a groggy fog. Squinting against the ambient light, I tried to piece together where I was.My body felt weak and heavy, a dull throb pulsing behind my eyes. A fever was setting in.With everything that had happened over the past few days, it was a miracle I hadn't completely lost my mind.Between getting soaked in yesterday's rain, rushing to dry my hair after Damian's unexpected visit, and spending hours shivering on the balcony, it wasn't surprising that my body had finally given in.My gaze drifted toward the open doors, and the pieces instantly clicked into place. I had forgotten to close the balcony doors after standing out in the cold air last night. Last night, after Damian left, the brief peace of his company had only lasted a few minutes before reality rushed back to crush me with full force.My mother's mounting hospital bills, Ethan's relentless media manipulation, my father's demands, and my increasingly dangerous entangl

    Sienna cried out, her nails raking down his back, her legs wrapping around his waist."Fuck, Sienna," he gritted, his hips finding a rhythm, deep and unhurried, her pussy gripping him like a fist. "You feel—" he thrust again, harder, "—like home.""Yes," she moaned, meeting each thrust, her hips rising to take him deeper. "Yes, Ethan, right there—"His thumb found her clit, circling in time with his thrusts, and Sienna's head fell back, her mouth open on a long, broken moan.He fucked her slow and deep, the way guilt always made him fuck her—as if he could fuck the promises into her body, as if he could make up for every canceled dinner, every Christmas morning, every time he had to return to Arabella instead of her.And then without warning, the kiss he shared with Arabella replayed in his mind. Those soft lips…her scent… Just as the memories replayed in his mind, her voice echoed in his head.“The only thing I felt when your lips touched mine was disgust.”Those words struck him lik

    Sienna's ApartmentThe door swung open before Ethan's knuckles finished their second knock. It was as if Sienna had been standing behind it, listening for the sound of his car in the drive.She wore a thin silk robe the color of champagne, tied loose at her waist, and her eyes were red-rimmed and swollen, mascara smudged into faint shadows beneath them.She had been crying. Of course she had been crying. "Ethan—" she breathed, reaching for him.He caught her wrists before her hands could find his chest. "The news director named you. He says you told him those photos of Arabella and me would make me happy."Sienna's lashes trembled. She pulled her hands free and turned her back to him, walking into the living room, where a half-empty glass of wine sat on the marble coffee table beside a crumpled tissue. "So you came all the way here to interrogate me?""I came here to find out if the woman who claims to love me is sabotaging my company."That stopped her. She turned, and the tears were

    A week later… Mr. Morgan's Estate… Aria sat quietly at the dining table together with Mr. Morgan as they ate lunch. Except for the occasional clinking of cutlery against the china, the dining room was quiet, a peaceful kind of quiet that only made Aria’s chest ache more. The scent of warm delica
