Chapter Five

Rialyn's POV.

*TWO DAYS AFTER*

'Yes! I agree to do that.' I hit my hand on my head remembering what had happened between Luca and me two days ago. How the hell did I agree to that kind of deal? I don't know if I should be regretting right now.

I agreed to do that so I could get back at everyone who made me this way. That was my only option.

I brought out my phone, looking at the time. 'Shit!' I cussed out so loud as I removed the washing gloves immediately. How the hell did I forget that I will be meeting up with him this evening?

It was happening this night and I must say that I am a little bit nervous.

I rushed out of the room as I then bumped into Priscilla! I knew what she was up to and what she wanted to say. I wasn't ready for her petty fight.

"It looks as if you are in a hurry. Where are you going to?" She questioned, as she folded her arms. Her eyes piercing into mine. I couldn't possibly tell her that I was going to meet him.

There was no way I would let her know about something like that. 

"I'm sorry, but I can't say." I tried walking past her, but she used her hand to push my shoulders, making me almost trip. 

"Living with you guys doesn't mean you have every right to know about my whereabouts. I am an adult." I reprimanded her immediately after I found my balance.

"Not under this roof. Who knows what you might be planning behind our backs? Why did you think I told my mom to accept you to stay in the house?" She queried as she walked towards me.

"It was to monitor your movement, dummy," she further stated, there was barely any space in between. I wasn't going to lie, but her tall height was kind of intimidating.

"Why do you have to monitor my movement? Did you do something that I must not find out about?" I replied to her, a little smirk forming at the corner of my lips. I was realizing I was going to bring her together with my stepmother down.

I could see her lips trying to shake; she wanted to utter some words. Was she scared already?

They literally took what belonged to me and claimed it belonged to them. Why wouldn't she want to keep a close eye on me? They had always seen me as a threat; and that was one of ten reasons why they hated me so much. 

"I am going to the hotel to meet a man. More like a one-night stand." I told her. She then busted out into laughter.

"It isn't up to two weeks since you got divorced and you are already bitching around." She curled up her lips in disgust.

"At least, I don't get to sleep with people's husband." I stated proudly. The little smirk on her face turned into anger immediately. 

"If you don't mind, I have to go now." I excused myself from her presence, as I then walked back out of her. 

*****

It didn't take a long time for me to get to the address where Luca told us to meet. It was one of his hostels that was in the city. I wondered what people were going to say if they got to see Luca and I together.

I knew that they were not blood brothers, but it was still kind of weird for me. My heels clicked on the tiles while I followed the attendant who was taking me to the VIP room as directed by Luca.

"This is the room, ma'am. The stewardess stopped right at the front of a long and empty room. That was the only room in the hallway, and I must say that it looked so nice.

She walked away, leaving me at the door entrance. I was still finding it hard to believe that I was doing this.

How many aura points did I lose for this? 

I entered the room, and I must say that it was very nice. It was neatly arranged, and I could easily tell that he did stay here frequently. The king-sized bed was in the middle of the room. There was a heap of the books and files on a desk in the room.

It was just like a small workspace. I looked at the time and got to realize that it was starting to get really late already. It has been 10 minutes, and he was yet to arrive.

'Should I call him right now? Or I should just let him be?' 

I sat at the edge of the bed as my palms were beginning to get so sweaty. I prepared so hard for this, and I was still getting delayed.

My hand slid into my purse as I brought out my phone.

"Where are you right now? I'm waiting in your room." I texted him, hoping I would get a reply. 

Hours passed, and there was still no reply from him. I didn't know if I should be happy about the fact that he didn't get to make it this night or I should be about the fact that he might get to plan another day for these.

My eyelids were starting to get so heavy, as I could feel them closing slowly.

********

*THE NEXT MORNING*

I slowly opened my eyes, the morning light from window which was opposite the bed was shining to bright making me squint my eyes. I was met with a very unfamiliar ceiling, my mind felt foggy as I tried to remember how I got here. 

"Oh shit!" I cussed under my breath realizing what happened last night. How the hell did I get to sleep off?

The sound of the shower brought me back to reality as my mouth covered my mouth immediately. He later came into the room yesterday.

'I must leave the place before he comes out.' I stood up from the bed, my hand grabbing the purse. I tiptoed up to the door spot, my hand grabbing the door knob as I tried opening it.

"Where are you going to?" A sharp, deep voice interrupted my thoughts, making me flinch in fear. I was just about to open the damn door.

I turned my back slowly, and now I wish I hadn't slept last night. The water trickled down his well-arranged abs; my eyes found their way to his towel, which was tied loosely around his waist. 

I could see a little bit of his hair. 'Was he hairy down there?' There were a lot of questions going on in my mind right now.

"You can let me know when you are done staring." His voice interrupted my thoughts, making me look back at his face immediately.

What the hell was I thinking?

"You came late last night." I changed the entire topic.

"I attended a meeting." He replied bluntly, as he then backed me. I watched as he walked into the walk-in closet while I followed him slowly.

"You should have let me know about it. I texted you last night while I was waiting for you. You don't just act that way; we agreed to it already." I complained to him.

I didn't know where this surge was coming from, but I hope it should stop right now!  I didn't have any right to be angry 

"You should have then stayed awake." He replied back. What the hell! I watched as he took a dried towel and then used it on his hair.

"Are you joking with your words right now? Stayed awake? It wasn't going to text you anything to reply me. Do you think I am som jimd of witch who can predict the time you were going to arrive?" I scoffed at his statement; my hands found their way to my hips.

"I never knew you wanted this badly." His meadow-green eyes bored into mine as he told me those words. I could feel my cheeks literally burning due to his stares. He closed the drawer as he then dropped down the towel he was using for his head 

I could see his eye moving from my face down to my body. 

"If you really want this. How about we start now?" He walked towards me, his bare chest touching my body. I was starting to feel hot down there. He lifted me up from the floor as he carried me in a bridal style.

'You should resist.' My heart kept on saying, but my body and my brain were saying otherwise. He dropped me slowly at the edge of the bed. He then unzipped my gown slowly.

I could see the lust filled in his eyes. One might think I was his meat, while waiting to get devoured by its owner.

"Let's get this done and fast!" I muttered.

  • My Ex-Husband's Brother    EPILOGUE III/AUTHOR'S NOTE.

    Ominiscent's POV. Three years had passed since that night the night that had almost taken everything from Ria. The memory of Jade, the cliff, the terror it still flickered in her mind like a shadow but now it belonged to the past. Luca had been there, every step of the way, turning what could have been despair into safety, into a love so fierce that nothing could touch it. Their home overlooked a quiet lake, where mornings were painted with gold and evenings glimmered with pink and purple hues. The garden was Ria’s favorite place; she had insisted on planting jasmine, roses, and lilac along the pathways. The scent of flowers mixed with the gentle water breeze, creating a world of calm they could retreat to whenever the past crept too close. Ria had built her own life in those years. Her boutique—a collection of rare perfumes and custom fragrances—was thriving. She had started it small, but each scent told a story: a memory, a desire, a fragment of her soul. Luca adored surprising

  • My Ex-Husband's Brother    Epilogue II

    (JADE'S EDITION) I had waited for this day for as long as I could remember. Nothing, no threat, no warning nothing was going to stop me now. My father had ensured the case against me was dismissed, clearing the way for me to act without hesitation. If I failed today, they might keep targeting me, and I could never allow that.The thought of finally seeing Ria at my mercy sent a thrill through me. I had always dreamed of this moment, imagining the satisfaction of watching her helpless, terrified, completely at my mercy. Finn had promised to help me, and the fact that he was willing made the anticipation even sweeter.She had announced her engagement to Luca. That would never happen—not as long as I lived.“Luca will save me,” she said with an air of confidence that made me laugh. She was so sure of herself, so convinced that everything would go according to her plan. How naive she was.“Not this time,” I murmured, lips curling into a dark smile. “There’s no escape tonight.”I led her

  • My Ex-Husband's Brother    Epilogue I

    Epilogue Five Years Later The city was waking up as I drove home from my latest shoot. The early morning traffic hummed softly beneath my tires, the skyline glowing with the first hints of sunlight. After five years, life had changed in ways I never imagined. I was no longer just Avia. People knew my name. My face graced magazines, billboards, and movie posters. I had become a successful actress, admired by many, and yet… as much as I loved the lights, the cameras, and the applause, nothing compared to the warmth waiting for me at home. Pulling into the driveway, I noticed the laughter before I even opened the door. It was bright, full, and alive—the sound of Tristan with our children. My heart lifted immediately, a warmth spreading through me. This was home. This was what mattered. I stepped inside and froze for a moment, taking in the scene. Tristan was sprawled on the living room floor, our little ones climbing all over him, their giggles filling the air. He looked up, sa

    Chapter 196 Avia's POV The house was quiet in the evening, soft golden lights casting a warm glow across the dining room. For the first time in weeks, I felt a calm that wasn’t edged with fear. Tristan was beside me, his hand resting lightly over mine, the baby safe and kicking gently.We had survived everything. Finn was behind bars. Brianne was neutralized. The company was slowly stabilizing, shareholders reassured, and the media… well, they were satisfied enough to stop hunting us like vultures.I looked at Tristan, really looked at him. The chaos, the danger, the near-death experiences, and all the betrayals—they had changed us. But we were still together. Still standing. Still alive.He caught my gaze and gave me a small, tired smile. “Dinner’s almost ready,” he said softly. His voice had that quiet strength that always calmed me.I nodded, letting myself relax into the moment. “I can’t believe we’re finally having a normal evening,” I whispered.He chuckled lightly. “Normal i

    Chapter 193 Tristan’s POVThe sun was rising, casting a soft orange glow across the city. I sat behind my desk, the office feeling strangely calm for the first time in weeks. The chaos, the danger, the betrayal, it all seemed to be fading into the background.Avia was beside me, sitting in the chair I had pulled close to mine. Her hand rested over her stomach, the baby safe and kicking lightly. She looked exhausted, but alive. Beautiful. My heart tightened at the sight.We hadn’t slept well. Not since the warehouse incident, not since Brianne had tried to finish what she started. But the relief was undeniable. She was here, safe. And I wasn’t going to let anyone take her again.I rubbed my face. The events of the last few weeks were replaying in my mind like a broken recording. Finn, finally caught, was behind bars. Brianne, just arrested, would face justice soon. And yet, the company, the shareholders, the media—they hadn’t stopped breathing down my neck.I looked at Avia. “I think.

    Chapter 192 Tristan’s POV I had just finished going through reports on the company, trying to stay calm, trying to think about Avia and the baby.But instinct told me something was off.I didn’t hear the usual click of the security door. No footsteps in the hall. Just silence.I stood and scanned the room, heart tightening. Something in my gut told me it was serious.Before I could react, the door creaked open just a little. A shadow slipped in.“Tristan,” a voice whispered. Smooth. Cold. Calculated.Brianne.I spun around. She had a gun in her hand. My stomach dropped.“You really think you can keep her safe?” she said, eyes wild but controlled. “You really think you can protect her from me?”I swallowed hard. My hands rose slowly. “Brianne… put the gun down. We can talk. You don’t have to do this.”Her laugh was sharp, bitter. “Talk? Oh, Tristan… you’ve had your fun, haven’t you? But it’s over now. I’m ending it.”Avia had been in the office earlier. I glanced around frantically,
