Rejected Plus-Size Wife, Claimed by My Husband’s Brother Chapter 142
Logan's POVThe city was still waking when I arrived at Lowill Group.Sunlight spilled across the glass facade of the building, painting everything in warm shades of gold, but it did little to ease the heaviness sitting in my chest. I had left Audrey asleep. She looked peaceful, curled beneath the blankets with one arm stretched across my side before I carefully slipped away. Seeing her like that usually settled my mind.This morning, it hadn't. Something felt wrong. Maybe it was instinct, maybe it was the silence, or maybe it was the simple fact that Matteo Williams had never accepted defeat gracefully.I walked through the executive entrance, nodding at the security officers stationed throughout the lobby."Morning, Mr. Williams,” they said."Morning,” I replied.The elevator carried me to the top floor. Ryan was already waiting outside my office with a tablet tucked beneath his arm."You beat me here," he said."Barely,” I replied."You look terrible,” he muttered."I'll take that

Matteo's POVI hadn't slept… not really.The cheap motel mattress creaked every time I shifted, and the buzzing fluorescent light outside the window never seemed to switch off. Long before dawn, I gave up pretending I could rest.Instead, I sat on the edge of the bed with a cup of bitter instant coffee growing cold in my hand.My eyes drifted toward the wall. Yesterday's photographs lay scattered across the small table.Photographs of Audrey, Logan, and the Hargrove estate. Every picture had been taken from a distance.Every one of them reminded me that my life had become something I would have laughed at some months ago.I had once owned skyscrapers. Now I was hiding in a roadside motel, studying stolen photographs like a common criminal.I reached for the newest envelope. My contact had delivered it late the previous evening.Inside were fresh surveillance pictures of the black SUV had done its job, Audrey leaving the Love Plus headquarters, Audrey arriving home, Logan's car pulling

Audrey's POVBy the time I arrived at the Love Plus headquarters, the lobby was already buzzing with activity.Volunteers hurried between offices carrying donation boxes and event folders. Staff members balanced cups of coffee as they discussed schedules for the upcoming Hargrove–Lowill Summit.It still amazed me that this place existed. Before, Love Plus had been nothing more than an idea born from pain.Now, it occupied three floors of its own building. I smiled at the receptionist as I stepped inside."Good morning, Ms. Audrey,” the receptionist said."Morning, Lily,” I replied and she grinned."The production crew is already setting up,” she said."Thank you,” I replied.I took the elevator to the second floor, where the foundation's community center overlooked a bright courtyard filled with flowers and benches.The interview wasn't scheduled for another thirty minutes and that gave me enough time to do what I loved most…Spend time with the women who reminded me why Love Plus exis

Logan's POVThe city was still waking when I pulled into the underground parking garage beneath Lowill Group.Gray dawn filtered between the skyscrapers, casting long shadows across the nearly empty streets. Normally, I enjoyed these quiet mornings. They gave me time to think before another demanding day began.Today, my thoughts were somewhere else. I could still picture Audrey laughing the night before as Nia insisted on reading her favorite bedtime story for the third time. I remembered watching them from the doorway, wondering how I'd lived six years believing revenge was all that mattered.Now, revenge wasn't enough. I wanted peace, I wanted a future, and most of all, I wanted them safe. My phone vibrated before I reached the elevator. It was Ryan."Morning," I answered."Conference room. Now,” he muttered with a clipped voice."What happened?" I asked."You'll want to hear this from Harris,” he replied.The call ended. I frowned as I stepped into the elevator.Detective Harris

Kylie's POV The apartment was too quiet and I hated quiet. Silence gave people time to think, and thinking had become dangerous.I opened my eyes slowly, staring at the cracked ceiling above my bed. Morning sunlight slipped through the thin curtains, exposing every flaw in the tiny apartment I had rented after everything fell apart.The place was clean enough, but it wasn't home. It wasn't the luxury penthouse Matteo and I had lived in. Everything was all gone now.It wasn't the glamorous life I had imagined, it certainly wasn't the future I had sacrificed everything for.I shifted carefully, one hand automatically resting on my swollen stomach. The baby kicked almost immediately.A sharp ache spread across my lower back and I closed my eyes."Good morning," I whispered softly.The words felt strange. For months, I had barely acknowledged the little life growing inside me. My attention had been consumed by Matteo, by revenge, by Audrey.Now, the baby was all I had left. I reached for

Matteo's POVThe motel ceiling had become too familiar. Every crack, every water stain, every buzzing fluorescent light that refused to stop humming. I hated it.I hated the smell of stale cigarettes soaked into the curtains, I hated the stained carpet. Most of all...I hated hiding.I sat on the edge of the narrow bed, rubbing a hand over my unshaven jaw. My reflection in the cracked mirror across the room barely resembled the man who had once dominated magazine covers and business headlines.My expensive suits had been replaced by plain clothes bought with cash.My tailored haircut had grown uneven and dark circles hollowed my eyes.The world believed Matteo Williams was a fugitive. For the first time in my life, the world was right.The cheap burner phone on the bedside table vibrated. It was another news alert.I ignored it for almost a minute before finally picking it up. The headline flashed across the screen.“LOVE PLUS FOUNDER TO LEAD GLOBAL HARGROVE–LOWILL SUMMIT”A photo acco

Audrey's POVI barely slept.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the DNA report. Every time I drifted off, I heard John's voice. “We believe you're our daughter.”By three in the morning, I had given up pretending sleep was going to happen.By four, I was sitting in the kitchen with a cup of tea tha

Audrey's POV I tried to calm Logan down, but it was impossible. The moment I finished explaining what happened with Matteo, something dark settled over his expression. He stood in front of me with his jaw tight, his eyes colder than I had ever seen them, and for the first time since knowing him,

Audrey's POV I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection a second longer than necessary. Today was the day, the final hearing. After everything, the waiting period, the humiliation, the chaos, this was where it ended. Or at least, where it was supposed to. My fingers smoothed over t

Audrey's POV The question hit harder than I expected, even though I knew it was coming, even though I had prepared for it. For a split second, my mind went blank.“Your marriage to Matteo Williams” the words echoed in my head, it was heavier now that they were out in the open, broadcast for everyo
