My Brother-in-law's sinful offer 54
Damian’s POV My brain completely stopped working.The words struck me with the force of a thunderbolt, rattling every bone in my body.What did she just say?"Arabella," I rasped, my throat tightening, but she didn't give me a chance to speak."Or would you rather I remember how desperate I was when I turned myself into a private detective, searching for clues even after he blocked me without a single explanation?" My heart fractured right through the middle. She was talking about me."I mean, he didn't even have a profile picture," she continued, her voice cracking as if a massive, long-repressed dam had finally broken. "It was just... all black. A solid black screen with an 'S'. You can imagine how thrilled I was when I spent months digging and finally found out it was a preliminary trial logo for Sterling Couture and Cosmetics, back when Ethan first stepped up as CEO... I practically began to stalk him after piecing everything together. How pathetic could I possibly be?"Every w

Arabella's POV I woke up in a room I didn't recognize."Where am I?" I whispered, my voice raw as I took in unfamiliar walls. The last clear memory in my head was Jake pulling over to pick me up outside my father's estate.A dark skyline stretched past the glass window, telling me it was already late into the night. Just how long had I been unconscious?The sound of the door opening drew my attention. An older woman, looking to be around fifty, stepped quietly inside.Seeing I was awake, she offered a warm, amiable smile and neatly laid a fresh set of clothes on the edge of the mattress."Miss Morgan, you're finally awake. I'm Hannah, the housekeeper here. You had a fever, and Mr. Sterling asked me to look after you. Those are your clothes."That was when the horrifying realization hit me. Someone had undressed me while I was knocked out. I pointed a shaky finger at myself and stammered, "Why am I in pajamas? How did I get into these?""I helped you change," Hannah replied gently. "

Arabella had been dreaming.In the dream, she was nineteen again—naive, fiercely optimistic, and overflowing with bright, untarnished hopes. She saw herself lying across her narrow dormitory bed, squealing and kicking her feet in the air every single time *he* replied to her late-night messages.She remembered his steady gentleness, his uncanny ability to understand her deepest thoughts, and the dizzying, effortless way he had captured her heart. Back then, she had built entire galaxies in her mind, dreaming of a quiet future: a golden retriever, two children—a boy and a girl—and a love story that read like a living fairytale.In the dream, her younger self stepped forward and gently cupped her tear-stained cheeks. *“Arabella, I want to see you smile. You have to live happily.”*Arabella's breath hitched, fresh tears spilling over her lashes as she choked out the word. *"Happily?"*It felt like a foreign language. A concept she had traded away the moment she tied her life to Ethan's.

Damian didn't know what he was doing. *Fuck.*He didn't even know why he did everything he's done in the last 30 minutes. The only absolute truth in his mind after receiving Jake’s panicked call was that he needed Arabella close. He needed her safely within his line of sight.He had already called and summoned Dr. Martin, his personal physician. He had ordered the main estate staff to prepare the medical suite.Right now, he was pacing back and forth across the grand foyer, waiting for Jake to pull up to the main house.He had barely been standing there for a minute, but it felt like an hour. He stopped abruptly, whipping his head around to glare at Andrew, who was standing quietly behind him."Why isn't Jake here yet? Call him right now and tell him to fucking speed up!"Before Andrew could pull out his phone, the familiar sleek black sedan rolled smoothly through the main gates. “Boss…he's here.” Damian didn't even bother acknowledging.The car came to a halt right in front of t

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

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
