OWNED BY MY EX-HUSBAND’S STEPBROTHER Chapter 20
Lukas ended the call and lowered his phone slowly.A quiet laugh escaped his lips as he leaned back on the sofa. He could still hear the pleading in Gloria’s voice.It amused him. It sounded like music to his ear.“Of course I knew she would call,” he muttered, lighting up another cigarette. “I made sure she had no other choice.” Everything had gone exactly as he planned.From the beginning, he had been the one pulling the strings, pressuring company executives, making quiet threats, ensuring that every job Gloria applied for would reject her. He might not be as powerful as his stepbrother yet. But he was powerful enough. Powerful enough to corner her. And those companies wouldn’t want to be in his bad book.Lukas puffs off smoke from his cigarette, his gaze darkening. “I’ve always wondered.” he murmured, his voice low, almost thoughtful. “What would it be like to break someone as gently and delicately as her?”He threw the cigarette on the floor and matched it with his shoes. He

Gloria sat on the toilet long after the call ended.She didn’t move. It felt like all the strength in her body had been drained away, leaving her empty and cold and hopeless. That was the only word that echoed in her mind. Victor had completely blocked her path. No job. No money. No way forward. Even if she took him to court, she knew how it would end. He hadn’t outright refused to support Annabel. He had only set a condition, meet him, and he would pay. To anyone else, it would look like a normal marital dispute. A broken couple that needed counseling.But Gloria knew better. Going back to Victor wouldn’t fix anything. It would ruin her completely.She didn’t know what he would do this time, but she knew one thing for sure, she would not come out of it the same.Her fingers slowly curled into fists. “I can’t go back…” she whispered. But if she didn’t…Then what? Her gaze dropped to the floor, her thoughts spiraling until one option forced its way into her mind. The only option left.

Mummy, can I tell you something?” Annabel whispered in her small voice.“Yes, sweetheart. You can tell mummy anything.” Gloria said.“Mummy, let's leave this place and go back home to daddy. The people here are not nice.” Annabel’s small voice trembled as she clutched Gloria’s shirt.Gloria forced a weak smile and gently touched her daughter’s face. Her heart ached. She didn’t know how to answer that request. There was no way she would ever return to Victor’s house again. Not after everything he had done. But if she said no directly, Annabel might cry again.So Gloria tried to change the direction of the conversation.“Of course sweetie, but I have a better idea. What if we move to a nicer place, where you will be free to play and jump around as you like without anyone disturbing you?” Gloria said. She wasn’t sure why she said that, but she needed to pacify her daughter.“Really?”“Yes,” Gloria nodded.“I would love that!” Annabel said excitedly. She was used to the big house she once

Gloria’s hand trembled as she stared at the email on her phone. Her vision blurred, and for a moment, she couldn’t breathe. She had believed this interview would be her last chance. Her final opportunity to get back on her feet and provide a stable life for herself and her daughter. But now that hope has been crushed. A certain man had ruined it.Again. Gloria clenched her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white as anger and heartbreak twisted inside her chest.“That piece of shit,” she muttered bitterly.Her fingers moved quickly across the screen as she searched for Victor’s contact. The moment she found it, she pressed the call button. The phone rang.“Fucking jerk!” Gloria cursed under her breath. “How could he do this to me? I know he’s a cheating bastard, but how could he do this to his own daughter?” Her voice trembled with rage.“Does he not realize that hurting me also hurts Annabel?!”Gloria was certain Victor was behind everything. Victor had the power to do something li

Gloria shot him a cold, furious glare. Her fingers trembled slightly at her sides.“You’re a bastard, Lukas,” she said through clenched teeth. “Just like your brother.”Without waiting for his response, she turned sharply and walked out of the CEO’s office. Her old heels struck the marble floor loudly with every step. She refused to look back, even though she could feel Lukas’s gaze burning into her back. When she reached the elevator, she pressed the button impatiently. The moment the doors opened, she stepped inside.Only when the elevator doors slowly closed did Lukas finally look away. He scoffed softly. “Just like my brother?” he muttered with a faint, dangerous smile. “Sister-in-law… I can be a lot worse than my brother.”Isaiah, his secretary, cautiously approached him. He had been standing nearby the entire time but didn’t dare interrupt earlier.“Mr Anderson” he said nervously.“What?” Lukas replied curtly, his eyes still fixed on the elevator.Isaiah swallowed.“You’re rea

Gloria’s breath caught in her throat. She lowered her head immediately, almost curling into herself as Lukas leaned closer. His voice had been so close to her ear that she could still feel the warmth of his breath. For a moment, she wondered if she had heard him wrong.Personal assistant… taking care of his sexual needs in bed. Her mind raced. He can’t mean that… Gloria quickly forced the thought away. No. That’s ridiculous. He must have been joking. Even if their relationship was distant, they were still technically family. She was still married to Victor, after all. Even if she planned to divorce him, it was still strange for Lukas to say something like that. Maybe she had misunderstood. Or maybe the joke was simply too crude for her.Trying to ease the awkward tension, Gloria forced out a laugh.“Brother-in-law, that's funny,” she said awkwardly. “You really scared me for a second.” Her laugh sounded stiff even to her own ears. “I thought you were serious for a moment.”Lukas didn’
