My CEO brother wants me Chapter 41
AVA“I heard Lucien is engaged,” Cassie said, her tone carried a mix of curiosity and...hurt? I wasn't sure.She turned to Alaric first, probably expecting a reaction, but he didn’t even look up. His attention stayed fixed on the business news like she wasn’t even there.Then she turned to Seraphina. “Is it true?”Before Sera could answer, Grandpa spoke, his tone calm but pointed.“When you watched the news, who did you see make the announcement?”“Mom and dad, of course.” Cassie answered with a pout.My brows lifted before I could stop myself.Mom and dad?I looked at her properly this time, really trying to understand who she thought she was.Just who was she?Grandpa nodded. “Then of course it’s true.”Cassie’s expression changed immediately. The smile on her face didn’t disappear completely, but it wasn’t as easy as before.“Who is this Ava Carson?” she asked.Immediately, everyone but Cassie turned to me.Seraphina was about to answer and I definitely didn’t want that. So I clea

AVA“Picture this,” he continued. “Lucien… with another woman.”My brows pulled together. “What?”“Just imagine it,” he insisted.I sighed, but still, I did and the reaction was instant.My stomach turned and my chest tightened. Something ugly twisted inside me so fast it shocked me.My face must have shown it because Grandpa burst out laughing.I turned to him immediately. “Grandpa!”“You should have seen your face,” he said between laughs.I frowned, confused and embarrassed. “What?”He shook his head, still amused. “That reaction,” he said. “That right there.”He looked at me knowingly. “So I was right.”My heart skipped. “Right about what?”“You’re in love with him.” He said with a very wide smile.My heart skipped. “What?”“No, I’m not,” I said immediately, shaking my head.But even as I said it, it didn’t sound as convincing as it should have.Grandpa just watched me, clearly amused and for some reason, that made my denial feel weaker.“That’s why it’s so easy for him to affect

AVA“I hate him.”I muttered, almost under my breath, pouting as I folded my arms.“He’s just… a bully.”Grandpa laughed.I turned to him, completely taken aback.“Grandpa,” I said, frowning. “Why are you laughing? I’m being serious.”He shook his head, still smiling.“My dear, do you really expect anyone to believe you when you say you hate Lucien?”I blinked, offended. “What does that even mean?”“Nothing,” he said. “Forget I said anything.”“I won’t,” I replied immediately. “What do you mean?”He didn’t answer. Instead, he gave me a look that said he knew something I didn't.“Tell me what happened.” He said, obviously trying to avoid my question but I let him.I exhaled, leaning back against the bench. My gaze drifted up to the sky for a moment before dropping again.“Lucien is complicated,” I said.Grandpa nodded in agreement. “Very complicated.”I paused, choosing my words.“I don’t understand him,” I continued. “I don’t understand why he’s so… fixed on being with me.”My brows f

AVA My chest rose and fell rapidly. “How dare he.” I muttered under my breath. I started pacing the room because staying still would make me explode. “How dare he make decisions for me like that?” My hands clenched at my sides. It wasn’t just what he said. It was how he said it like it was final and I didn’t even have a say. “I’m not asking you.” The words replayed in my head, over and over again. “I haven’t even agreed to marry him,” I said, my voice rising. “And he’s already acting like...like I belong to him.” I stopped pacing, staring at nothing because what scared me the most was not just the control, but how natural it seemed to him. I let out a shaky breath, dragging a hand through my hair. And the worst part? I had started to let my guard down believing maybe things could actually work between us and maybe he wasn’t as impossible as I thought. I laughed softly, but there was no humor in it. “Of course,” I whispered. I sat down on the edge of the bed, my thoughts

LUCIEN I knocked.My hand lingered on the door for a second before I pushed it open, stepping in quietly.The room was dim and there she was, asleep on the bed.She was curled into herself, one arm wrapped around her pillow. The silk gown she wore had shifted in her sleep, revealing more of her thigh than it should have.I stopped completely.It was almost ridiculous how easily she disarmed me without even trying. Earlier, when the old man left us alone, I had felt that pull. That dangerous, consuming urge to close the distance and forget everything else.It had taken everything in me earlier, everything, not to pull her into me, not to forget where we were.That was why I told her to go rest. Not because I thought she was tired, but because I was fighting myself and her being so close, looking at me the way she did...did nothing to help.I exhaled slowly, dragging my gaze away for a second before it found her again.It always did.There was something about her that didn’t make sense
My CEO brother wants me Chapter 36
LUCIEN The night was quiet. I stood at the balcony, resting one hand on the railing, the cool air brushing my face but it did nothing to calm the restlessness in me. It hadn’t since she walked in. I exhaled slowly. The soft tap of a cane interrupted my thoughts. Grandfather. I didn’t need to turn to know it was him. “You’re sure about this?” “About what?” I asked, even though I already knew what he meant. “Lucien.” I finally glanced at him. “Marrying Ava.” There it was. I looked away again, then said, “I think you know the answer to that better than anyone.” He sighed beside me, leaning on his walking stick. “I do,” he said. “But I still want to hear it from you” I didn't respond. “Lucien, is this what she wants?” My grip on the railing tightened. “She doesn’t know what she wants.” I answered. He didn’t say anything, so I continued. “But I do know one thing,” I said. “She’s not as opposed to this as she thinks she is.” I could feel his ga
