“Come, there's something I must tell you. Jayden… he got into an accident. Jayden, he's…”

“What did you just say? What happened to Jayden?” Aria interrupted her mother-in-law, eyes bulging and full of shock and fear.

“Let's find somewhere private to talk first,” Mrs. Audrey said, and she turned to lead Aria away.

“Can I see him first? I was just with him last…"

“He's in his ward; he's currently sedated and sleeping. That's why I need to talk to you first. Jayden…he is not the same as he was before,” Mrs. Audrey said, cutting her off and trying her best to mask the annoyance in her voice.

She was just pretending with her daughter-in-law, but instead of Aria obediently following her, here she was, asking questions.

Unknown to Mrs. Audrey, interrupting Aria had made it so that Aria couldn't complete her sentence. She had just been about to reveal that she was together with Jayden the previous night. An impossible occurrence since Jayden was lying immovable on the hospital bed.

  • My Brother-in-law's sinful offer   Chapter 31

    20 minutes ago, Manhattan, 1st Class Hospital… Aria, who had reached the end of the VIP ward corridor and was about to enter the elevator, realized she had left the flask that contained the soup inside Jayden’s ward and immediately turned back to go for it. She was just a few steps away from Jayden's ward when she saw Mrs. Audrey and Dr. Catherine walk out the door. She momentarily paused, seeing both women had left Jayden alone when he was in that state. She wanted to ask her mother-in-law if there was an errand that she needed to run urgently; she would prefer to do it instead so that they could both return to Jayden in the ward. “Mother, is there anything you ne…” “Don't call me that; I'm not your mother. You're too high and mighty to be this woman's daughter,” Mrs. Audrey snapped sarcastically, interrupting Aria. She scoffed at her daughter-in-law before walking away with Catherine. Aria watched both women in a daze as she absentmindedly approached the door. ‘Was her mother-

  • My Brother-in-law's sinful offer   Chapter 30

    The atmosphere within the Morgan Corporation conference room was thick with tension. The directors, managers, and heads of departments all had a straight look on their faces. Some of them could feel cold sweat trickle down their backs, with some forming on their foreheads even when they were currently seated in a full-blast air-conditioning room. The young master of the Morgan family, Ezra Morgan, the new CEO of Morgan Corporation, who has always been evasive, had finally come to the headquarters. His agenda was simple: he was going to do a mass cleanup in the company, and since some important figures in the company had already received their sack letters this morning, everyone was on edge. There were four great families in New York. They were the Hunts, the Smiths, the Andersons, and the Morgans, who usually were evasive and low-key. The current head of the Morgan family, Mr. Felix Morgan, is a man who was once feared among members of high society for his brutal and sneaky methods.

  • My Brother-in-law's sinful offer   Chapter 29

    “You've already met Kayden? How did this happen?” Jayden asked through gritted teeth as his face turned dark all over. “Like I said, I was returning from the Hunt mansion, and I saw your car entering the Hunt Hotel. I wanted to see you, so when I saw him, I thought he was you and ran after him into the elevator, but I realized he didn't seem to like my presence and asked me to leave, but I thought you were just angry and that there was a misunderstanding going on somewhere—that's why you sent me the divorce papers—so I refused to leave and insisted on staying and followed you into the hotel room even though you looked like you hated my trying to get close to you.” “You met Kayden, and you were in a room alone with him? Are you fucking kidding me? I know we are identical, but you've been with me for three fucking years. Are you telling me you didn't even notice the difference? How do we fucking look alike?” Jayden growled, his face morphed into a sinister angle. Aria flinched at his

    Aria didn't even kiss Jayden for up to a minute before she abruptly pulled away, looking at him with a horrified expression and causing the confusion in Jayden's eyes to deepen. “Aria, are you okay? You have been acting strangely since yesterday,” Jayden asked, frowning. “Sorry, honey… I… I’m just not feeling well. I think… I think that I'm coming down with the flu or something,” Aria stuttered flusteredly. She couldn't believe she had begun to lie to her husband now thanks to Kayden. “Are you sure?” Jayden asked, staring at his wife with suspicion, before adding, “Yesterday, I could tell you were absentminded several times when you were here with me, not forgetting about how weird you sounded when I called you in the night. I thought I finally had my jealous wife back this morning, but you are acting strange again. Did something happen? Tell me, and I'll take care of it for you. Is it about your family? Is your dad asking you for money again?” “Don't worry about my father; I can

    1st Class Hospital, It was around 7:00 am when Aria walked through the doors of Jayden’s VIP ward with a food basket and flask. “Good morning, honey. Sorry, I'm late,” Aria said as soon as she saw Jayden. “Not really, you're just on time. I listened to you and slept for a while after our call, so I just woke up not too long ago,” Jayden explained. “Cath, you can leave it; Aria will take it from here,” Jayden said to the woman about to lift the sheets covering his body and give him a sponge bath. She was Jayden's new personal caretaker. “Sorry, Jayden, but I'll try and be fast about it. You said you felt uncomfortable all over because you hadn't taken a bath for a whole day, so please don't stop me. You will feel more comfortable after I'm done,” Catherine said and proceeded to lift the sheets, exposing Jayden's legs with bandages on his left knee and his right leg in a cast. When she tried to lift his hospital gown and expose his upper thigh. Aria couldn't take it anymore and sn

    “Silence… Aria pressed her phone to her ears, but she couldn't hear anything from the other side of the phone, only the man's deep breathing. And every second that passed, Aria felt her heart thumping even faster in her chest. “Ariana,” he finally gritted out her name, but instead of relief, Aria felt a shiver run down her spine. His voice was so cold and deadly that she could feel the coldness through the phone. “Have my actions towards you somehow given you some twisted idea that you can say anything you wish and get away with it? I guess I've been too fucking lenient with you. Maybe you didn't understand my words, but you see this thing we have going on?… I call the shots. You are not allowed to have an opinion!” He growled into the phone. Aria closed her eyes hearing his words, and fresh tears slid down her cheeks through her eyelashes. She didn't even have any strength in her to refute his words. Her eyes stared at the ceiling blankly as everything that had happened between

    “I'll investigate that man's identity, and you'd better hope there's nothing between you two.” Those words were like a bad omen replaying in Aria's mind over and over again and causing her to feel a chill deep down in her heart. ‘What should she do? How was she going to get out of this predicament?' Aria felt like pulling her hair in frustration. She knew it wouldn't be long before Mrs. Audrey found out it was Kayden's driver who dropped her off.The problem was that Mrs. Audrey would be suspicious of her relationship with Kayden since Aria didn't tell her the truth from the beginning.Left alone in the vast hall, Aria felt lost, all alone, and exhausted—just name it. She felt drained physically, mentally, and emotionally. She felt like running away from everything, but she knew she couldn't even do that. The Hunt family would not let her leave alone even if she wished to. For all these years, she had always been content with Jayden's love and had not been overly demanding. She bar

  • My Brother-in-law's sinful offer   Chapter 24

    Aria sighed at her predicament. She had always known Mrs. Audrey found her an eyesore, but she didn't think the woman would be so fast. Her mother-in-law had never allowed her into the main mansion before. She had made her displeasure obvious even when Jayden was around.To think Mrs. Audrey would go to such lengths to keep an eye on her movements just because she made one mistake showed she was in for a long ride with the woman. Jayden had always been against her working, so Aria had been a stay-at-home wife, but now that she was going to stay at the main mansion, she guessed her life would now revolve around staying in the main mansion and visiting Jayden in the hospital. Knowing her mother-in-law, it seemed her peaceful days were over.‘Maybe this was for the best. She could at least avoid Kayden's unreasonable demands since she was sure her mother-in-law might go as far as arranging a driver or even a bodyguard for her at this point.'Aria thought that at least something good ca

  • My Brother-in-law's sinful offer   Chapter 23

    Aria's heart thudded wildly in her chest as she tried to think of a reasonable excuse to tell her mother-in-law, but the more she tried to think, the more she felt like she was about to have a headache. She snatched the paper bag from Ellen and hurriedly made her way out of the office, her face contorting in pain at how uncomfortable it was to walk in her condition. “Madam, there's a car waiting for you downstairs to send you home.” Ellen's footsteps sounded behind her. Aria didn't even turn at Ellen's words. “No need for that, I'll call for a cab,” she said and pressed the elevator button. The door slid open, and Aria entered the elevator, but Ellen was relentless. “Madam, please stop being stubborn. Getting a cab here around this time would be difficult, and I can see you are in a hurry; why don't you just let the driver take you back? The ride would be more comfortable and faster too,” Ellen advised. “Okay, I will listen to you,” Aria said in a low voice, avoiding Ellen's ga
