Anna's gaze snapped to the blonde woman, her brows furrowing.

Darling? Did they know each other?

Her eyes returned to Jason to find him still looking at her. Her lips twitched and she took a step forward; the woman had to be a colleague or one of those women who flirted with powerful men, hoping something would stick.

No sooner had she taken her first step, she froze in her tracks. The blonde woman hugged Jason. His hand settled at the small of her back and… stayed there, pressing her close

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Seven Days

    He hated this house.It was driving him insane. Or maybe it had nothing at all to do with the house but a certain pregnant woman who wouldn't stop ruining his sanity.His resolve.He was going insane because they were living together. Because their history was complicated. Because he promised there would be boundaries.Because he shouldn't want her.Yet, he wouldn't stop noticing things about her. The way she talked to the staff. Laughed with Elena. The way she walked downstairs for her morning run, half-awake most times. The way she touched her stomach while running without realizing she was doing it.The east side of the estate was usually quiet at the wee hour of the morning. Jason knew because he'd been using the running path beyond the backyard since he moved in. And on his way back, he'd noticed the faint glow from one of the upstairs windows.Her window.One morning it was on. The next morning, it wasn't. One morning he saw her silhouette. Another morning, there was nothing. He

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    In The Kitchen

    The first thing Anna noticed on Monday morning was that she was hungry.It was such a simple thing, but after several days of waking up nauseous, she wasn't sure whether to be relieved or suspicious. She sat on the edge of her bed for a moment, waiting to see if the familiar wave of nausea would follow.She exhaled softly when it didn't. "Thank goodness."She got dressed and headed downstairs. The house was quieter than it had been over the weekend. The buzz of Jason moving in had already settled into a new routine. Most of the staff were already moving around, preparing breakfast and getting the household ready for the day. Elena was nowhere in sight, which meant she was probably still asleep—or already downstairs somewhere, fussing over the staff.Anna smiled to herself. She entered the dining room and stopped when she saw a familiar figure sitting at the table. Julian looked up from his tablet."Morning.""Morning."His eyes immediately went to her stomach before returning to her f

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Something Familiar

    Jason woke with a dull ache behind his eyes. He reached blindly toward the nightstand. His fingers met polished wood... and nothing else.Groaning softly, his hand swept across the surface again—there was still nothing. No crystal carafe. No glass.What the hell—He opened his eyes, sitting up as he did. For several seconds, he simply stared at his unfamiliar surroundings. A few boxes still lay around. The curtains were too light and let in too much daylight.Daylight?He looked toward the nightstand again, expecting to find his phone where it always was...He looked around the room, his eyes stopping on the window sill. His phone sat there—exactly where he'd left it last night. He got out of bed and picked it up.7:12 a.m.Jason's eyes narrowed on the screen. Then he noticed the missed calls from Ethan and his jaw tightened.He had woken ridiculously late. He had missed his morning run. Missed the quiet hours in which he normally checked reports and missed his morning briefing with E

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Move-In Day

    Anna walked past the heavy-duty double gates at the entrance to the driveway without stopping. By now, she was familiar enough to the castles security personnel that they no longer needed to screen her or call the house before letting her through.The brown moving box she carried was heavier than it looked—packed with three of her medical textbooks, a stack of annotated research papers, a couple of folders containing work documents she wanted nearby, three notebooks, extra scrubs, framed photographs, and a small box of things she couldn't quite bring herself to leave behind.They were the last things she felt she needed for her stay at Elena's home. She'd stayed back after bringing the cohabitation up at dinner the other day, and Julian—after his initial hesistation—had agreed. Over the past three days, Elena, Leah and Gideon—bless their souls—had helped her move some of her things from her apartment.After work today, she'd gone to her apartment to make sure she hadn't forgotten anyt

    "Jason proposed a cohabitation because of the pregnancy, which I agreed to. But I told him it would need to happen here.""Girl, you told him? When?"Elena's voice was softer, tinged with confusion. "Here?""Yes." Anna's hands tightened around Elena's. "In your home, Lena. Is-is that okay?"Anna held her breath as Elena blinked up at her. Leah sat just as still beside her, watching them. Elena's gaze shifted to the kitchen once again."Uh, that's okay... I guess. Once I've spoken to Juls about it."Anna released the breath she'd been holding, a tiny smile lifting her lips. "You're sure?"Elena nodded absentmindedly. "There's so much room. I don't think Julian would mind either. But... Why can't you stay at Jason's though?" She asked, frowning. "He has a secluded villa and a couple of penthouse suites around the city."That was exactly the problem—secluded. It would be just her and him. And maybe a handful of staff members. It didn't help that the memory of the last time she'd been the

    Jason Knight Backs New Energy-Tech Start-Up, Hayes Predictive Grid.Anna slowly walked up the cobblestone pathway, too lost in thought to appreciate its serenity. Apparently, he had acquired some Swiss technology company on his trip to Zürich, and now.... Hayes tiny start-up, as the media had called it? She vividly remembered the look on Jason's face when he'd glanced around the hall of their class reunion and declared:No one here is innocent.And now, the same Jason was putting money, credibility, and his name behind Travis?He was magnanimous enough to put aside his grudges for business but not enough to protect what they'd shared?Anna finally snapped out of her head when her foot caught on the first step of the stone stairs. She stumbled, righting herself before she could hit the steps.You should be more careful, Vegas. You're pregnant.Anna scowled at the stairs like they had personally offended her. "You're pregnant. My child. My baby. That arrogant, infuriating man."She walk

    Anna's shift officially ended at seven. She stayed a few minutes longer handing over, signed out and walked to the door on fumes, her feet dragging. “Morning, Vegas.” She didn't need to look to know it was Dr. Pierce. Her ears picked up his familiar tone. “You sound bright.” He chuckled, hands

    “What in God's name am I doing?” Anna muttered, staring at her reflection in her vanity mirror. Grabbing makeup wipes from the box on the table, she wiped the lipstick on her lips. It was bad enough she had styled her hair in a sleek low bun, applied mascara and lined her eyes. But she was for the

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Almost Okay

    Jason's grip on Anna's wrist as he steered her to the hospital’s stairway was firm but careful. The stairwell door swung shut behind them, sealing with a muted thump, cutting off the noise from the hall.It was quiet—underused, as always. The fluorescent lights above were harsh and their footstep

    The car slowed to a stop in front of the hospital's emergency entrance, the red lights washing over the windshield.Anna was already reaching for the door before the engine died off. Jason's hand on her arm stopped her. She turned to him, her finger still on the door handle—he had a puzzled look o
