Arabella's POV

I paid the cab driver and practically sprinted into the hospital lobby, my heels clicking frantically against the polished linoleum.

It wasn't until I had finally sunk into the back seat of the cab that I checked my phone.

15 missed calls.

Nine of the fifteen missed calls were from the hospital billing department.

Ethan had called twice.

And my father had called four times.

"Good afternoon," I gasped out, leaning over the reception desk to get the attention of the duty nurse

    13Arabella's POV I paid the cab driver and practically sprinted into the hospital lobby, my heels clicking frantically against the polished linoleum.It wasn't until I had finally sunk into the back seat of the cab that I checked my phone. 15 missed calls.Nine of the fifteen missed calls were from the hospital billing department.Ethan had called twice.And my father had called four times."Good afternoon," I gasped out, leaning over the reception desk to get the attention of the duty nurse. "I'm here to ask about my mother, Sylvia Morgan. She was admitted to the ICU yesterday. Can you tell me how she's doing?"The nurse looked up, her initial confusion shifting into sudden clarity as she checked the file on her screen. "Are you Arabella? Her daughter?""Yes, that's me," I said, my chest heaving. "I'm the one you've been trying to reach.""I have to say, you children nowadays are far too negligent," the nurse scolded, shaking her head disapprovingly. "Your mother is critically il

    12And for three years, I watched from the sidelines as Ethan treated a masterpiece like a piece of glass.Three years later, I was still watching the same woman suffer in a marriage she never deserved.I watched my foolish, arrogant son treat her as an afterthought, neglecting her, dismissing her brilliant mind, and eventually bringing another woman into their lives.My restraint began to fracture. I watched her suffer in silence, her light slowly being extinguished by a boy who didn't deserve to breathe the same air as her.So, I intervened.I didn't steal her—Ethan threw her away.I simply planted the seeds to wake her up. It was my orchestration that ended the charity gala three hours early yesterday evening, ensuring Arabella would return home unexpectedly.It was my influence that ensured she caught Ethan red-handed with his mistress.I had waited five agonizing years in the shadows, watching her grow into a resilient, fiercely intelligent, breathtaking woman.I refused to watch

  • My Brother-in-law's sinful offer   11

    Damian's POVI am not a man who denies himself what he desires. If I wanted something, I took it.Ever since I was a boy—ever since I inherited the Sterling legacy from my father—I had a knack for strategizing, maneuvering around the things I wanted until they fell directly into my lap.I worked hard for what I aimed for, so when the victory finally belonged to me, I knew I deserved it. I earned it.I grew up taking the adage “where there’s a will, there’s a way” as my absolute gospel, and that was how I lived my life for as long as I could remember.Until her. Until Arabella.I never knew I possessed such capacity for restraint. I never imagined that for five long years, I would deny myself a woman like her.Sitting behind my black marble desk, the quiet hum of the high-rise office surrounding me, I pulled open the bottom drawer of my desk and withdrew a secondary, encrypted phone.I unlocked it, the dim screen illuminating the logo of a private messaging app I hadn't used in half a

    10Damian’s gaze darkened, a storm brewing in his gray eyes. He opened his mouth to reply, but I held up a hand, refusing to let him speak."I caught my husband cheating on me less than twenty-four hours ago," I said, my voice trembling as the weight of the past day crashed over me."The man I was married to for three years was planning to divorce me months ago, and I completely had no idea. I haven't even begun to process that betrayal, and you're asking me to throw myself into another relationship?"I took a sharp, steadying breath, trying to anchor the wild fluttering in my chest."I can't do it, Mr. Sterling. Putting aside the fact that my soon-to-be ex-husband is your son, moving from him to you wouldn't be right—to either of us.""Arabella," Damian whispered, keeping his gaze locked on mine, his tone dropping into a soothing, unhurried cadence. "I am not asking you to accept me this very second. You asked what I wanted from you, and I gave you an honest answer."He took half a s

    9My gaze remained glued to his designer tie, my heart hammering wildly against my ribs as I fought the urge to look up into his face. "W-what?""I want you, Arabella Morgan," Damian said, his voice dropping to a low, unyielding promise that resonated in the quiet room. "I want you as my woman."My composure finally cracked. Hearing those words spoken with such bold, unrestrained confidence sent a wave of shock through me. For a long, suffocating moment, I couldn't breathe, let alone form a coherent reply.I had spent three years knowing Damian Sterling as a distant, intimidating patriarch—a cold, domineering force who commanded every room he entered. I had never imagined him looking at me like this, stripped of all restraint."Is this how Mr. Sterling approaches every woman?" I rasped, trying to shield my rising panic behind a layer of skepticism."You're the only woman I've ever approached like this," he answered without hesitation.I swallowed hard, my throat parched. Desperate to

    8 "Please, continue," Ethan said, taking a step back from the threshold, though he paused almost immediately. "Um, Dad, why did you suddenly decide to work out of this office today? I thought you didn't want to draw attention to the fact that this venture is under the Sterlings.""Do you have a problem with where I choose to work?" Damian asked, his deep voice rumbling directly above my head."Of course not, Dad," Ethan replied quickly, though a slight smirk lingered in his tone. "I just didn't expect you to be hiding a ‘beauty’ in your office. She must be a wild one—unlike that boring Arabella. She doesn't evoke a single feeling in me anymore."A cold thrill shot down my spine.Damian lowered his head until his lips were near my ear… "He says you're boring," he whispered, his voice low so that only I could hear as his lips brushed the shell of my ear, his breath hot against my skin. "Do you think we should give him a live demonstration?"I stiffened in his arms, my heart hammering v
