Chapter 140: I'll make sure she's forced out, one way or another.

Bruce looks at me warily when he drops me off.

I don’t blame him since I asked him to run about two red lights, but I’m here and the faster I can close this up, the faster I can get back to Lyra.

The office is chaos when I arrive. Tension so thick I could cut through it with a knife hangs in the air and everyone is either whispering on phone calls or shuffling papers with shaking hands. Adrian wasn’t exaggerating.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t take the main entrance when I left earlier today, but the building does feel like it’s standing on the edge of collapse.

Silvia is rushing towards me and the moment she does, her voice is hard as she speaks, “I tried to push all appointments to later as you requested, sir, but in the past hour shareholders have asked for five emergency meetings.

I apologize, but I couldn’t keep them all waiting, sir.”

I nod and take a breath to prepare myself. It’s going to be a long night.

It starts with hours of back-to-back meetings, confronting rumors and stea

  • One Night's Mistake: Claimed by my Boyfriend's Brother.   Chapter 141: A pleasant distraction.

    Christian still isn’t back.A sigh leaves my lips as I stare at the door, and the same thought I’ve been having for the past hour flies through my head again. Maybe I should leave the romantic gestures to Christian and just sleep.I thought waiting up for him would be cute and sweet, we could fall asleep together, listening to each other’s heartbeats and dozing off to the sound of each other breathing.I don’t want to stare at the clock again but my eyes flick to it anyway. The soft glow of the numbers only taunts me.Past midnight.It’s well past midnight, and the quiet of the city is all I can hear through the window. I don’t even think cars are driving past anymore, and that says one thing.Christian isn’t coming back home tonight. At least not here.I’m trying not to feel disheartened but the disappointment sits on my chest like a stone.He did say he had things to handle and I know that, but how long can handling those things possibly take? He can’t be handling matters at the off

  • One Night's Mistake: Claimed by my Boyfriend's Brother.   Chapter 139: Have to go.

    Christian's pov. The phone buzzes in my hand while I’m still staring at the face displayed on the screen.I was prepared to get a professional photographer to take the shot. That seemed like the only logical thing to do, but it seems that isn’t what a random social media post entails.It took less than a second, but I’ve been staring at the picture for over half an hour now. Lyra is so beautiful, even in a random shot such as this.I’m just about to zoom in when the phone buzzes again. I sigh at Adrian’s name flashing across the screen and my jaw tightens.Part of me wants to ignore it. I know what he’s calling about and I just want to let him stew in his worry while I destroy the people who think they can drag Lyra’s name through the mud. Except after years of friendship, I know Adrian. If I don’t pick up, he’ll only keep calling.I move into the dining room leaving the living room so Lyra can rest. She fell asleep shortly after lunch and I’ve been alternating between staring at her

  • One Night's Mistake: Claimed by my Boyfriend's Brother.   Chapter 138: Setting the tone of a comeback.

    “Who’s in the kitchen?”Estel looks better now.It seems she took a nap while Christian and I were having our discussion, and did some self-care too. Now she looks like the Estel I know. Almost.The cold look in her eyes almost reminds me of Christian, but not quite. Christian only has that cold look on for others. It seems Estel now has it on default, and it makes my tone soften as I smile and ask, “Feeling better?”Estel nods stiffly but still looks at the kitchen as she asks, “Is that Christian Storm… in the kitchen?”It’s my time to nod and the smile on my face is so sweet it feels like it’d give me a toothache.Estel whistles and I chuckle as she takes her seat beside me. She’s with her laptop, and Estel with her laptop when she’s emotional, it’s never a good combo.I try not to sound accusing as I ask, “Do you have some emails to respond to? Apps to code? Websites to construct?”Estel smirks as she opens the laptop. “I’m going to hack into Ivan’s devices.”There’s a pause and si

  • One Night's Mistake: Claimed by my Boyfriend's Brother.   Chapter 137: It was never Levi.

    After what’s almost an hour of discussions and planning, the meeting with his PR team is done.Regardless of the things I’ve just learnt, like the fact that including the formidable PR department of Storm Industries, Christian also has controlling influence over the four top PR companies in the city, I still turn to him the moment the call is disconnected and say the thing that’s been running through my head all this while.“Don’t do this..”I expect a reaction from him, like creased eyebrows and confusion written on his forehead, but Christian looks as calm as calm can be.Instead of confusion, he looks at me like he already knows the thoughts running around in my head. It helps take some of the nervousness I feel away and continue clearly, “Spending so much money and sacrificing the time you need to do important things…. Christian that’s too much.I’m sure there are other ways we can deal with this, right?And if there isn’t, let’s just let people do what they do best. Let them talk

  • One Night's Mistake: Claimed by my Boyfriend's Brother.   Chapter 136: Body and soul.

    Christian is on the phone, but I’m on the phone with him and seeing as this is a video conference call, with people on the other end of the screen looking at me… at us, it’s easy to see why they all look uncomfortable right now.Even the ones that try to look as casual as they can seem uncomfortable, but Christian doesn’t look like he’s in a rush to let me sit even farther than an inch from him.I’m sitting on his laps right now, and since the man is large enough to be a small couch on his own, I’m not uncomfortable. If anything, I’d like to spend the rest of the day sitting like this, but there’s work to be done and if this is inconveniencing the rest of the people who have to do the work….I look up at Christian with one last look in my eyes, a silent plea for him to let me go so we can at least look more official on this call.Like Christian reads my mind he smirks, his lips curving into a mischievous smile as he speaks, “It seems Miss Bennett thinks you guys are uncomfortable seei
