My Brother-in-law's sinful offer 37
Arabella’s POV "Arabella?"The sudden call of my name broke through the fog in my mind as I rushed through the hospital lobby. I stopped in my tracks, turning to find a familiar face standing near the elevators."Alex? What are you doing here?" I asked, completely caught off guard.It had been over a year since I last spoke to my childhood friend. After marrying Ethan, I had slowly severed ties with him because Ethan constantly reminded me of a wife's duty to "maintain appropriate boundaries with the opposite sex.""I'm here visiting a colleague who was admitted yesterday," Alex explained, searching my face with genuine concern."Oh," I breathed out, trying to stabilize my erratic pulse. "I came to see my mother. She's on the third floor.""Your mother? Is she—""She's fine," I interrupted quickly, desperate to keep the chaotic details of my life from spilling over in the middle of a hospital lobby."Oh, okay, good," Alex nodded politely. "My colleague is actually on the third floor,

"Let me know the moment she steps back through that door," I told Aunt Irene curtly before ending the call.I pulled up my contact list, tapped Arabella’s name, and sent a swift text: Where are you?I stared down at the glass screen. Thirty seconds passed. One minute. Two minutes... I waited for five whole minutes, but no reply came.*Arabella didn't reply to my text?**Arabella?*The same woman who used to reply to my messages within three seconds flat?It was only then that a startling realization hit me: Arabella hadn't sent me a single text message in three days.Normally, she flooded my phone with five to ten texts every single day without fail.“Have you made it to the office safely? Have a wonderful day!”“It's getting chilly outside; please don't forget your overcoat when you step out. Love you!”“Don't get so absorbed in your meetings that you skip lunch. Please take care of yourself!”“I cooked all your favorite dishes tonight. Can you try to come home early? I miss you.”Th

35Ethan's POV 2 hours ago…I stormed out of the conference room in a foul mood, with Robert, my personal assistant, practically jogging to keep up behind me.The absolute last thing I wanted to do was swallow my pride and coax Arabella. The last thing I wanted was to put on a pathetic act and pretend I cared. Unfortunately, I knew I had to do whatever it took to drag the company back on track—if only to prove to my father that I was more than capable of taking over the entire Sterling Empire.Being the CEO of Sterling Couture and Cosmetics was supposed to be my trial run.Over the past five years, I had elevated SCC to unprecedented heights through my own brilliant vision and foresight. But I had to admit one calculated truth: because SCC was a luxury brand catering strictly to high-society women, I needed a soft, elegant woman by my side. I needed the public to see a devoted family man and Arabella was beautiful, polished, socially connected, loyal, and obviously in love with me

I swallowed past the lump tightening in my throat. “I was afraid.”“Huh?” Tessa sounded genuinely caught off guard. “You were afraid? I don't understand, Bella… Why were you scared?”I let out a slow, trembling breath, my grip tightening on the phone.“You see, after everything Ethan put me through… and after watching my mom’s life break apart… the night I caught Ethan in that bed, I swore to myself I’d never let another man break me again,” I confessed, the words burning as they left my mouth. “Marriage, love, letting someone in—that was at the absolute bottom of my list. But with Damian… God, Tessa, I’m terrified I’ll let my guard down again. I’m terrified he’ll actually make me want to love.”*I was terrified of falling for him—especially because, in just three short days, he’d already managed to dismantle every defense I had.* But I kept that part buried deep inside.“Oh, sweetheart,” Tessa cooed, her tone melting with sympathy. “I get it. I really do.” She paused, picking her nex

"No... I... I'm not staying with them," I stuttered out, feeling like a little kid caught with her hand stuck deep inside a cookie jar. "I'm staying somewhere else." "Oh?" Tessa drawled, her tone dripping with suspicion. "And where, exactly, is 'somewhere else'? You only stutter like that when you're flustered or hiding something, Arabella. Spill it." I winced, squeezing my eyes shut. "I... I..." Before I could talk myself out of it, I blurted the whole story out in a single, breathless exhale—conveniently omitting the part where Damian had confessed his feelings. "Your *father-in-law*?!" Tessa shrieked so loudly I had to pull the receiver an inch away from my ear. "Yeah," I admitted softly. "He just casually handed you the keys to a high-end penthouse so you could 'think and figure things out' away from Ethan?" She sounded entirely unconvinced by my watered-down narrative. "Yeah," I repeated weakly. "Why do I get the feeling you're leaving out a massive piece of this puzzle?"

Arabella's POV I heard my phone buzzing incessantly from the bedroom just as I stepped out of the bathtub.I quickly pulled on one of the plush white bathrobes hanging neatly from the rack by the door. It was heavy, oversized, and swallowed my frame completely—undoubtedly tailored for Damian's towering height.Even the rich scent of the shampoo clinging to my damp hair smelled unmistakably like him. It made me wonder if he usually stayed here whenever he needed an escape from the world.Shaking off the stray thought, I hurried into the bedroom, catching the phone just before it missed the call. The screen displayed an unknown number.I swiped the icon and pressed it to my ear. "Hello? Who is—""Oh my God, Bella! Are you okay?!" a frantic voice blared through the speaker. "I just caught the news headlines... That bastard Ethan didn't lay a hand on you, did he?!"Hearing the raw anguish in my best friend's voice made my heart squeeze tightly in my chest."No, Tessa... don't worry, I'
