Audrey's POV

For a moment, I thought he was joking. I sat there, staring at him from across the table, waiting for the smirk to break into laughter.

It didn't. Instead, Logan calmly reached into his pocket and slid the car key across the table towards me.

“Do you remember where it's parked?” he asked, like this was the most normal conversation in the world.

My lips parted.

“I…what?” I stammered, completely thrown off.

“The parking lot,” he said, leaning back in his seat. He picked up his wine

  • Rejected Plus-Size Wife, Claimed by My Husband’s Brother   Chapter 74

    Audrey’s POVThe room went silent. I stared at Ryan, then at Logan, then back at Ryan again. For a second, I wasn't sure I had heard him correctly. The man who attacked me, the man who had broken into my house, the man who had nearly choked me unconscious, the man who still appeared in my nightmares.They found him? My heartbeat accelerated immediately."Where?"Logan said, already standing."Police station downtown,” Ryan said, looking uncomfortable."Alive?"Logan asked."Yes,” Ryan replied.That answer seemed to surprise Logan too. The attacker had escaped through the window that night. Nobody had expected him to be caught this quickly."What did he say?"I asked, as I slowly stood from my chair."The detective refused to discuss details over the phone,” Ryan said, as he shook his head."We're going,” Logan said as he grabbed his suit, ‘cause that wasn't a good sign."I'm coming too,” I said, as I immediately nodded."No,” he said, as his eyes snapped toward me."Logan,” I called a

  • Rejected Plus-Size Wife, Claimed by My Husband’s Brother   Chapter 73

    Logan’s POVI knew something was wrong the second I walked into the room.Audrey was pale, Ryan looked furious and neither of them were speaking. That combination never led to anything good."What happened?"I asked, as I closed the office door behind me.Neither answered immediately and my stomach tightened, then Audrey silently handed me her phone.I looked down to see one message and a photograph. Just like that, my mood disappeared.A cold anger settled inside me…The kind that never ended well for anyone.The photo showed Nia leaving school yesterday. There was nothing technically threatening about it.There was no weapon, no demand, no obvious danger. Just a picture and a sentence that said “Our daughter is getting so big.”I stared at it for several long seconds, then again, then a third time because I wanted to make sure I wasn't imagining the fury building inside me."What time did this arrive?" I asked.My voice sounded dangerously calm and Ryan answered first."About two minu

  • Rejected Plus-Size Wife, Claimed by My Husband’s Brother   Chapter 72

    Audrey’s POVI barely slept through the night.That should have surprised me after everything that happened yesterday, but it didn’t.My mind kept replaying Logan’s answer, yes. It was one simple word, one devastating word.I asked if he would have chosen me if none of this had happened, and he said yes.The certainty in his voice haunted me all night. I lay awake staring at the ceiling long after he had gone to bed, wondering how a single word could make my chest feel both lighter and heavier at the same time.Because I wanted to believe him. The problem was that I did and that was very dangerous.When my alarm finally went off the next morning, I was already awake. I just groaned and buried my face in the pillow."Mommy!" Nia's voice called, as a knock immediately followed.Then another, then another. I laughed despite myself."Come in,” I said, and the door burst open without a moment's delay.Nia rushed into my room wearing pajamas covered in tiny stars. Her hair looked like she h

  • Rejected Plus-Size Wife, Claimed by My Husband’s Brother   Chapter 71

    Logan’s POVI did not answer her immediately.The question lingered heavily between us while the kitchen lights reflected softly against the marble counters.What happens when this year ends? I should have had an answer by now.The contract had been my idea from the start. Three hundred and sixty-five days that would be clean, simple, and controlled.At least that was what I thought back then. Now? Nothing about Audrey felt controlled anymore.I looked at her carefully. She stood across from me wearing one of my shirts, her makeup washed off after the party, her hair slightly messy from exhaustion. There was frosting on the sleeve she had somehow missed cleaning and somehow, she had never looked more beautiful.“Audrey, we still have time,” I started carefully and her expression shifted instantly.“That’s not really an answer,” she muttered.It wasn’t an answer, but the truth was worse, because lately, every time I imagined the contract ending, I felt something ugly inside my chest.

  • Rejected Plus-Size Wife, Claimed by My Husband’s Brother   Chapter 70

    Audrey’s POVThe party ended almost two hours later.By then, most of the children were exhausted, parents were carrying sleeping kids downstairs, and the once-perfect decorations looked slightly damaged from too much excitement and sugar.Honestly? I loved it that way. Nia had enjoyed herself so much that it almost made the stress almost worth it.Right now, she was half asleep against Logan’s shoulder while he carried her through the house. Her tiny tiara hung crookedly over one eye and frosting still stained the corner of her mouth.“She’s completely gone,” Logan murmured.“She fought sleep for almost an hour,” I said, as I smiled tiredly.“I’m not sleeping,” Nia said, as she opened one eye weakly.“Of course not,” Logan said seriously.She nodded once before immediately falling asleep again and I laughed softly.The sound felt strange after the emotional rollercoaster of the day.Kimmie and Ryan were downstairs helping staff clean up while Martha had already gone home for the nig

  • Rejected Plus-Size Wife, Claimed by My Husband’s Brother   Chapter 69

    Logan’s POVI did not trust Matteo, not even a little. The entire time he stood inside the house pretending to be some loving father, I kept my eyes on him. Every smile looked calculated, every soft word sounded rehearsed, and the worst part? He was good at it. The guests slowly returned to enjoying the party after Audrey calmed the tension, but the atmosphere still felt fragile. Matteo blended into the crowd too easily, shaking hands politely and smiling at parents as if he belonged there. I hated it.“You want me to remove him?”Ryan said, as he stepped beside me quietly.I glanced toward Audrey first. She was kneeling beside Nia near the cake table, fixing her tiara while forcing a smile, but I could see the strain in her face from all the way across the room.“No, not unless he crosses a line,” I muttered.“He already crossed several,” Ryan said, looking unconvinced.True, but Audrey had asked for peace today, and for her, I was barely trying.At the other side of the room, Mat
