Londyn's POV

The turning point for me was probably the day Judge Henderson ordered Claire to appear in court. But unfortunately, even at that moment, it had still taken me a while to realize the truth.

In truth, I didn’t think much of it at first.

“If that is what it takes to determine the truth, then yes. Bring the child to the next session. We will hear this matter.” Judge Henderson said. Then his gravel came down with a definitive crack and that was that.

At first, I thought I had misheard.

  • My Finance's Brother's Forbidden Game    Chapter 95

    Larissa's POV For a second, the entire courtroom looked like a paused movie.Nobody moved.Nobody breathed.Nobody blinked.Nobody seemed to believe what we had all just heard.Then Judge Henderson stood so fast his chair screeched “Miss Knowles, you will be escorted by medical staff and court officers to ensure that evidence is retrieved with no interference.”Londyn shrugged. “Fine by me.” Then instead of leaving, she walked towards me. “Hey. I’m going to need like... prune juice money. This... evidence is not going to come out without a fight.”A strangled noise clawed out of my throat. I wasn’t sure if it was a sob or a laugh. This entire thing was all so ridiculous, I couldn’t even begin to wrap my head around it. So I just stared blankly at her like an idiot.Brayden’s hand closed around my elbow, steadying me. “Breathe.” He murmured, then reached into his pocket, took out his wallet, and handed Londyn his black card.She whistled. “Well, damn. I’m going to buy the good prune

    Larissa's POV Morning came too quickly.I woke up with my arms wrapped around Londyn, the comforter tangled around both of us. For a moment, before the weight of everything settled into my chest again, I let myself simply watch her breath.We had fallen asleep mid-conversation last night most of our talks revolving around unimportant things like. I had done most of the talking because her throat was still sore from all that she’d endured. But from what she’d offered up and the short conversation Stephanie and I had had when we’d bumped into each other in the kitchen sometime around midnight when we’d both coincidentally come down from a midnight snack, Londyn had endured a lot.She had spent ten days in that bathtub. Without food. Without water. Without knowing whether she’d live or die. And she’d come so close to dying too, because the human body was not made to go that long without water. Food, maybe. But ten days without water was a stretch. It was a miracle she even survived at a

    Narrator's POV Londyn froze.Not because she wasn’t terrified anymore. She still was. But because she recognized the girl standing in the doorway of the bathroom.Stephanie. Lara’s sister.Londyn had never met Stephanie personally, but she recognized her from seeing her in court multiple times, and judging by the way Stephanie had always glared at Benjamin with unadulterated hatred, it was fair to say that Stephanie wasn’t here to kill her.Her breathing stuttered, but the frantic bucking stopped. Her eyes stayed wide and glassy, but she wasn't fighting anymore.Stephanie patted herself down frantically. “Shit! I don’t have my phone.”Scott, still with his sleeve pressed to his bleeding nose, stared at her incredulously like she was the disappointment of an entire generation. “I thought all teenagers were surgically attached to their phones.”“That is just a cliche and also…”“Stephanie, now’s not the time to argue.” Scott cut in sternly. “My phone’s in the car. We can use that. Go g

    Narrator's POV The night Londyn refused to lie for Benjamin was the night everything went to shit.It started in Benjamin’s home office when he’d discovered her snooping. And maybe that could have been forgiven, but when he’d asked her to take the stand and commit perjury, and she’d refused, Benjamin had realized that his fiancée’s loyalty lay elsewhere.He couldn’t have her destroying everything he’d worked so hard to build. So he’d dragged her down the hallway, shoved her into her wardrobe — the closet was too spacious for traitors — and slammed the door shut before she even had time to react.The lock clicked into place. Her heart thudded wildly as she thrashed around and screamed for help.She soon realized that no one was coming to save her. But what she didn’t know was that someone had come to look for her.After Londyn didn’t show up at the meeting place she’d scheduled in her note, Larissa had come looking for her. Benjamin had spun some story about her being on a trip and sh

  • My Finance's Brother's Forbidden Game    Chapter 91

    Brayden's POV I tried not to check my phone again.I really did.But I'd already lost count of how many times I'd glanced at the screen, convinced I must have somehow missed a call or a message. The notification bar was still the same — emails from my assistant, two calendar reminders, and a couple of news alerts. No update from Scott. No text from Stephanie. Not even an accidental butt-dial. Just silence.Scott and Stephanie had been gone for longer than planned. Logically, I knew Scott could handle himself. He wasn’t some rookie. He’d been a private investigator for years, and before that, he worked briefly in security. He was steady, level-headed, and the opposite of reckless.So objectively, there was no reason to worry.Subjectively, though?I was one missed call away from pacing a trench into the hardwood floor.But I kept my mouth shut, because Larissa was alright today. Her anxiety wasn’t gone, but it wasn’t at the forefront of all her actions. She’d had her anxious moments,

  • My Finance's Brother's Forbidden Game    Chapter 90

    Larissa's POV Two days later, Scott was back.He arrived right before breakfast. The estate was unusually quiet. Gwen was still in bed, nursing a hangover and I suspected that she'd probably be there all morning. Claire was propped up in her high chair, face already stained with the strawberries I had cut up for her. Brayden was at the counter trying to decide just how he wanted to make the pancakes that morning.It was all very domestic.“Alright.” He began, setting his briefcase down on the table. “I’ve got the results.”Brayden straightened. “And?”“I’ll start with what we do know.” He said. His tone was calm and deliberate; the way doctors sounded when they were about to deliver something that was technically hopeful, but not really. “I had them run the test twice just to be sure. The blood sample from the note was a 61% match with Larissa’s. Seeing as the average DNA shared between siblings is 50%, that tells us that the blood is definitely Londyn’s.”Brayden nodded slowly. “We
