Chapter 12

Marcus was still talking, his voice growing fainter and fainter under the roaring of my thoughts.

He knew too.

He always knew I was supposed to marry Damon. That I’d been paired with the wrong brother from the start. That all of this...the merger, the wedding, everything was never supposed to be his.

It was Damon’s.

A sick chill rolled down my spine.

“Marcus,” I interrupted, my voice tighter than I intended. “That was…a long time ago, right? That arrangement?”

“We knew about it long before. The deal had been set in motion even back then.”

“So…how exactly did you end up being the one?” I asked.

“As I said, Damon didn’t want it. He never wanted any of this. The company, the marriage. The life we were gradually building again. Dad practically begged him, but he just walked.

Marcus chuckled, but it didn’t reach his voice. “I’ve never been prouder of him, to be honest. First time he did something that helped the family instead of embarrassing us.”

“So…” I forced the words out t

    Chapter 14The tension in the room could be cut with a knife. I honestly had no idea why Damon would say that since he definitely wasn't with me there. And for the life of me, I couldn't understand why I panicked the moment the words left his mouth.My eyes narrowed on his face. And from the amused smile on them, it was clear he was rather enjoying taunting Marcus."Yeah, what about it, brother?" Marcus turned to me, his eyes all glaringly red and accusatory. "You let him see you in your wedding dress? Why didn't you tell me he was with you when I called.""Don't think too much about it, darling," Wendy cut in. "I wasn't feeling too well when I woke this morning and Damon was kind enough to take her. It's really nothing to be bothered about."Marcus scoffed, but his gaze didn't leave me. He was waiting for my response.I inhaled deeply, my voice a bit low, "He didn't, Marc. He's just toying with you. He only...drove me there." Of course, I couldn't exactly tell him we had made a st

    Chapter 13OliviaMy mouth parted, unable to find words, pulse quickening for different reasons.I glanced sideways at the empty corridor, then back at her, mustering the most unbelievable look I could. "Is that what he told you? Damon? That we used to date?"She scoffed, "He doesn't need to. Even a blind man can see the sexual tension rolling off you two. It’s either you once dated him, or you used to fuck..."My breath caught."Be careful, though, if you do not wish for your frivolities to make it to the media. I can just imagine the headlines. The Kingstons’ Bride…""Are you insane!?" I hissed, cutting her off mid-sentence."Why would you even think that!? There is nothing going on between Damon and me. Absolutely nothing." I lied straight through my teeth, not finding this funny one bit.Her lips curled into a smug smirk. "Well, you just confirmed it, baby girl. You don't have to deny it for my sake."Okay. I definitely do not like her. Baby girl? Who does she think she is, talkin

  • My Fiance's Brother    11. Wedding Dress

    Chapter 11OLIVIA;I felt numb as his words played and replayed in my head over and over again.But what I couldn't get my mind off of-- was that moment in the dress shop.He had the effrontery to ask if I was on the fucking pill. But I couldn't recall him asking that when he knocked me up. He doesn't have an idea what I went through carrying his child, or that I'd almost lost her due to the trauma he caused me. He doesn't.He had no idea what it felt like to be in my shoes, and I don't think he'd ever.But I was done crying. I was done letting him-- his presence here dictate how I react, how I feel....I want to believe that what we had was real. For a second, I thought the look in his eyes was serious, but I was right. I didn't really matter much.I arrived at the fashion house in no time. The managers and attendants recognized me immediately, exchanging pleasantries as we quickly got into business."I'm just going to pin this to the side." An attendant said, few minutes later, as s

    Chapter 10Of course. The flight.But I could have sworn I had mentioned not leaving Rosecliff anytime soon. Not when my Liv is here.I have no time for this."You can leave without me, Layla. I'll be staying back." "What?" "You heard me.""Wait—is this because of her? You were hesitant to come here in the first place, and now you're willing to leave everything for...for a lost cause? D...come on.""Olivia is not a lost cause, Layla. And I do not want to have this conversation with you. But you, of all people, should know better. I will not be returning to New York until I've sorted this out."Silence."So what now?" I could hear her voice shake. "You are going to give up on everything? Your work...""You and I know my work should be the least of our concerns now.""Right.""Have a safe trip." I murmured and ended the call immediately.I flung the cellphone somewhere and buried my fingers in my hair, gripping tightly, feeling something in me break.Try as I might, her teary eyes cou

    Chapter 9They say you never really get over your first love. No matter how much you claim to hate them, there’s always a reason you loved them in the first place—or why your body still responds to them, even when your mind knows better.I want to believe that wasn't the case for me. I want to believe that what I felt, what I was feeling right now wasn't any of that.I shouldn't. But...despite myself, I wrapped my hands over his neck, kissing him back.Damon's lips moved against mine hurriedly as if he was trying to make sure he poured every single emotion into it. My toes curled and my lower belly pinched with need. I moaned when the tip of his tongue rushed against my lower lips, coaxing me to give him entry.And I did. For a moment -- just one moment, I shut my inner voice and opened for him, kissing him with the same urgency.He was everything I remembered. Everything I had tried to bury. Everything I had tried to forget. Damon's hands began to slide lower, brushing down my side
