Chapter 11

Author: Hawt Slumber
I stood frozen in place, the words hitting me like a bolt of lightning, paralyzing me.

He seemed pleased with my reaction. A twisted satisfaction flickered in his eyes as he slowly removed his hand from Josephine's waist.

Lily, tears welling in her eyes, said, "Ross, we're getting a divorce."

A cold laugh rose from deep within me, but I masked it, allowing a facade of guilt to settle on my face.

Divorce now, and half of my house would be taken from me. Half of it would go to this lying woman, this schemer who had no idea what she was up against. I couldn't let her win, not like this. I had to play her game.

"Honey, I'm sorry," I said, my voice low, begging. "Please, don't leave me. I love you, truly."

Her voice cracked with doubt. "I want to believe you, but you need to show me, to prove it."

She was hinting at more. More than just empty words. She wanted something else.

"Alright," I replied, my jaw tight with determination. "If I fail you again, this house will be yours

  • My Wife's Brother Complex   Chapter 12

    The police instructed me to keep quiet and go through with the property transfer as planned. They reminded me to stay calm, to keep my composure, and not to alert anyone. I had to avoid raising suspicion at all costs. I didn't let my emotions show, maintaining an impassive expression as I went through the motions. I kept my mind focused, my thoughts shielded, until the moment arrived when I saw them—Finn and Lily, both in silver handcuffs. They were furious. The insults they threw at me were relentless, each word more venomous than the last. Sandra walked toward me slowly, her steps deliberate, measured. It was only then that Finn and Lily seemed to realize they had been deceived. The realization hit them like a punch to the gut, but by then, it was far too late. "An inmate on death row actually thought he could escape with a new identity? You must be dreaming." The look on Finn's face confirmed everything I had suspected. The real Finn and Lily were indeed siblings, b

    The next day was Saturday, and I told Lily that I was going on a business trip for the weekend, that I wouldn't be home for the next couple of days. The truth was, I didn't want to tell her anything more. The trust between us had long since crumbled. My hometown was in a small county, and once I arrived, I still had to take a two-hour bus ride to reach it. By the time I got there, it was already afternoon. My old house was silent and empty. I headed straight to the matchmaker's house. Just as I arrived, I saw the matchmaker and her family sitting down to eat. They greeted me with wide smiles and called me over to join them. I smiled, agreeing, and took my place at the table. It was a small, square table where everyone sat together.The matchmaker looked at me, her face instantly flushed with guilt. "Ross, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault, really," she said, her voice filled with regret. I was confused, unsure of what she was referring to."What do you mean? I'm doing fin

    Her body leaned closer, the unique scent of her youth igniting a fire in my veins. Her porcelain skin was tinged with a delicate pink hue, and the fullness of her lips was both tempting and dangerous. As I inhaled deeply, the air around us thickened with a bewitching fragrance that clouded my senses, making my head spin. My gaze lingered, and the last thing I saw was the soft curve of her smile resting at the corner of her mouth. The next morning, a sharp scream pierced through my slumber, jolting me awake. Disoriented, I blinked into the dim light and glanced over to see Sandra curled tightly in the blanket beside me. The events of the previous night rushed back to me, and frustration surged through my chest as I rubbed my head. "Shit. I don't know what happened last night, I really don't. I swear I went into my own room," I stammered."Ross, I don't blame you. Just go. It'll be bad if Lily finds out." I nodded quickly, pulling on my pants and rushing out of the room.

    It turned out that Lily's brother was Josephine's husband. Josephine told me that her husband had an older sister named Lily, who had always been very protective of him—anything she had, she was willing to give to him. But a few days ago, something strange happened. Late one night, just as they were about to go to bed, his sister called him. He had been acting mysteriously, claiming they were about to come into some money. He rushed out in a hurry and hadn't been back since. Josephine hadn't been able to get ahold of him—his phone was off, and he had completely disappeared. As she spoke, a chill ran down my spine. So what I saw that day had been real. But then… how could I explain the fact that he was with me the very next day, having dinner?I looked at her. "You need to stay calm. Your husband… he might already be dead." I explained everything I had witnessed that day, making sure she understood it all clearly. She froze, her expression blank, as if she were trying t

    That evening, I received a friend request on Telegram from Sandra. Sandra: [Ross, I think I might've misunderstood. I hope you and Lily don't hold any misunderstandings about me.] How pretentious. I accepted her request with a hint of feigned politeness. Ross: [I don't blame you. Lily and I had discussed giving you and Finn a house. It's just that Finn is still too immature.] Just as I sent the message, an unfamiliar number flashed on my phone screen. "Ross, my husband hasn't been home for days. Do you think something's happened to him?" It was Josephine on the other end, her voice trembling with panic, her words spilling out in a frantic blur. "It's fine, I'll come right over. Don't worry," I assured her."Okay, hurry." I scrambled to find a cigarette. Just as I was about to step out, the door suddenly opened, and Lily appeared. "It's late. Where are you going?" Her face was as pale as it had been that night—emotionless, as though her features were frozen in pla
