Pleasured By My Elder Brother Chapter 285: Go back to her, son
"I remember when she asked me for the first loan," she said. "She was nineteen. She came into this room in a cardigan two sizes too large, holding a folder against her chest, and she said, 'Mom, I'm going to make you proud. I just need someone to believe in it.'" Her mouth trembled. "And I said yes, because I believed in her. And then when I found out about everything, I stopped. I forgot that I ever had."She bent and signed.Isabella Nightbane. The pen scratched across the page.She turned to the next, and the next. Initial, initial, initial. The small, deliberate sounds of paper and ink filled the silent room. When the last signature dried, Aldrich collected the pages and tapped them straight against the desk."It is done," he said. "I'll file with the registry this afternoon. Miss Lyra will receive confirmation by courier within the week."Isabella set the pen down very carefully. Then she covered her face with both hands.Victor was beside her in an instant. He didn't say anythin

"And?""And I want something on the Solares.""Victoria Solare?" Tyler's voice sharpened. "I already gave you the file.""You gave me a file on her. I want her father's." She pulled the blanket tighter. "I want to know who holds their loans, and when they come due. I want to know whether anyone in that family has ever signed anything they shouldn't have.""That's an ally you're talking about.""That is a precaution I'm talking about."She had spent a lot of time on that distinction, lately. Victoria was useful. Victoria was also a stranger with a great deal of ambition, and Karla had been taught from childhood that you did not hand your weapons to people without keeping a second one hidden. She had no intention of being the only person with something to lose."I'll see what I can find," Tyler said slowly. "It'll take more than five days.""Then it takes more than five days." Karla paused. "And Tyler? If anyone asks, we haven't spoken since the first call. Not a word. If Marcus comes k

In her own rooms, Victoria kicked off her shoes and stood at the terrace window with her arms folded, watching the river darken.She was thinking, as she always did, in lists.One. The Solares were in trouble, but it was a tidy, manageable sort of trouble, the kind that could be solved by a single large and well-placed marriage, or a single large and well-placed partnership. Her father would never say so, but she knew which he preferred.Two. Damien Nightbane was the most formidable man she had ever met. He was also, in his way, the most honest. He had never pretended to be interested in her. He had been courteous, patient, completely unmoved. She had spent three private meetings circling him like a woman testing ice, and she had found no crack.Until the telephone call.Three. Karla Nightbane.Victoria exhaled slowly through her nose.The call had come out of nowhere, a clear, bright voice announcing itself as Damien's sister and promising information you might be very interested in

Lyra let out a long breath. Some of the knot beneath her ribs had loosened. It was such a simple, sensible answer.Lyra: Thank you, she typed. You're always so calm.DarkVeil: Someone has to be.She laughed, quietly, alone in the big bed.A pause. Then:DarkVeil: Did you eat today?Lyra's thumb stilled above the screen.She stared at the words. Did you eat today?It was such an ordinary question. Friends asked it. Mothers asked it. Probably half the people on earth had asked someone they cared about that same question at some point this week.But she had asked it herself. Last night, in the dark, in a text to Damien. Did you eat? And he had answered, Not yet, and then, I'll eat. Go to sleep, Lyra.And back before that, across a candlelit table above the sea, a spoon held up to her mouth. I love feeding you.She felt the smile fade from her face.It's a coincidence, she thought. People say this.Yes, she typed, slowly. Pasta. Half a bowl.Half is a start, DarkVeil wrote. Finish it tomo
Pleasured By My Elder Brother Chapter 281: What did she want?
And yet the word sat there between them like a small, polished stone, and Victoria was watching Lyra with an expression so perfectly serene that it was impossible to tell what lay behind it."I'm sorry," Victoria said, with a gentle laugh. "I do apologize, that came out strangely. I only meant that Stella has such a close-knit atmosphere. One feels it the moment one walks in. Everyone looks after everyone. It's quite unusual for a company of this size.""It is," Lyra heard herself say. Her voice sounded calm. She was proud of that. "We're lucky.""Aren't we?" Victoria rose smoothly, tucking the portfolio under her arm. "I've taken enough of your time. You will let me know what you think of the pieces?""Of course.""And do tell Damien I called." She smiled again, and this time it reached her eyes in a way that made Lyra's skin prickle. "Though I'm sure you'll talk to him before I do."She said it lightly. Almost kindly.Then she was gone, her heels clicking away down the corridor, and
Pleasured By My Elder Brother Chapter 280: Victoria Came Visiting
Emma followed her into the office and perched on the edge of the desk. "I rescheduled the Voltish client to Thursday. They were very understanding. Signora Rossini even sent flowers." She nodded at a small arrangement of white ranunculus by the window. "She said she hoped you weren't ill.""That's kind of her.""Mm." Emma sipped her coffee, and her eyes slid, just for a second, toward the empty corridor leading to the top floor. "The CEO's office is dark today. Someone said he's traveling.""Business in Germany," Lyra said, as lightly as she could manage. "He mentioned it.""Mm," Emma said again.She didn't push. She never did. But there was a softness in her expression that Lyra found, to her surprise, almost unbearable."Em," Lyra started."You don't have to say anything." Emma stood, smoothing her skirt. "I'm just going to keep bringing you coffee and pretending I don't notice things. Is that all right?"Lyra laughed, and some of the tightness in her chest loosened. "That's more th

Lyra set her phone down with shaking hands and stood up.Her legs felt weak, her body hypersensitive. Every movement of fabric against her skin made her gasp.She walked to the full-length mirror in her room and looked at herself.Her hair was disheveled from the flight and the stress. Her face was

Lyra stared at her phone screen, her heart still racing from the encounter in the hallway.DarkVeil: Welcome home, little one. Did you miss me?Her fingers trembled as she typed back.LyraNight: How did you know I got to New York? I didn't tell you I was flying home.The three dots appeared immedia

"The Mercers. They were good people. Are good people." Karla's eyes filled with fresh tears. "They passed away six months ago. Car accident. That's when I did the DNA test. I had no one left and I just... I needed to know if there was anyone out there who shared my blood."Isabelle made a soft soun

Lyra's fingers trembled as she typed, the blue glow of her phone the only light in her darkened bedroom.LyraNight: I thought about him again today. God, I'm so fucked up.She held her breath, waiting. The three dots appeared almost immediately....her anonymous stranger always responded, no matter
