Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother Chapter 25: Stuck in the Water
"From the top, 1, 2, 3...." The female instructor yelled, and the models began walking in a straight line with delicate steps led by Angel.Monica watched from a bench after a series of perfecting her own walk for the fashion show.After the practice, Adriana walked in. They were supposed to have a shoot for an advertisement and the instructor was Adriana. Monica rolled her eyes and moved to the corner. All through the week, Adriana didn't miss a chance at frustrating her and complaining about literally every single thing she did. It was never good enough for her."I know you have all seen the new collection, the beach wear. The company has chosen Monica Banks and Angel White to advertise the product, so we are going to the beach for this," she quickly explained.Angel jumped gleefully as they began to pack. Monica didn't take much. She just wanted to get it over with. She joined the bus and after a few hours, they were at the beach. A few of the other models had decided to tag along

Spencer and Monica were finally out of the water. She changed into her normal outfit after drying off. Her legs were a bit strained after staying in the water for too long.Monica was having leg cramps so she couldn't go back on the bus and had to join Spencer's car. As she approached the car, Adriana grabbed her arms, "You think I don't know what you are at? Pretending and acting nonchalantly? You want to destroy him again."Hearing her words, Monica was quite surprised." Again? What do you mean again?""Nothing,"Spencer suddenly appeared, "You were just leaving, right?" He pulled Adriana off with an annoyed glance. She stomped off, but Monica still felt a bit suspicious.Monica's brow furrowed suspiciously. "Again?" She mumbled to herself but then pushed the thought away. Spencer helped her into the car and then sped off."Are you okay? Do you need a massage?" Spencer glanced at her and she just nodded absentmindedly. She couldn't understand herself anymore. Constantly seeking Spen

Monica hastily pulled away from Spencer. Mr and Madam McKenzie stood by the door with their hands on their chests as Monica hurried to her feet. If only her face could get any shade reddish.The two figures, the man, an older version of Liam, stood by the door with his wife.Mr McKenzie, Liam and Spencer's father, eyes widened in anger, walked into the room, glaring at Monica. "I thought this was a joke when I heard it, but even when Adriana confirmed it, I still couldn't believe it? Spencer, you both want to make a mockery of this family?" He spat out, his voice tight with anger.Spencer pulled Monica behind him, his eyes laced with annoyance, "Monica, please, can you wait for me upstairs?""Charles, have you heard your son, he speaks with no regards to me, ordering my son's wife upstairs."Monica had finally gotten enough. Beatrice McKenzie was the one that approached her about marrying Liam. She had thought she knew her son's preference or maybe her son liked her in a way, but look

Monica kept smiling at Candy and Rose. It didn't feel awkward as she had thought it would. She couldn't help but be curious about what Angel said to people about her. The way Candy looked at her was pitiful.A waiter walked towards them with a tray of wine. He stumbled forward, then emptied the contents entirely on Monica."Christ, "Candy yelled.Monica gasped as the cold liquid seeped into her skin."Oh my God, I'm sorry Ma." He hurriedly apologized, but the damage was already done.Lake stood about to attack him when Monica grabbed his arms. "It's okay, I don't think it was intentional. I'll just clean up in the bathroom.""Get the hell out of here before I call your manager." Lake spat out, and the waiter ran off in fright. Monica sighed and then left for the bathroom. She turned on the water and grabbed a tissue, but she knew she needed to leave. No way could she stay in that dress for a longer period.As her eyes darted back to the mirror, a gasp escaped her lips as her eyes met

Monica was in the living room as Max helped Spencer to his room. She was a bit startled after finding out. Spencer probably knew her for a long time and even liked her. Maybe Max was just exaggerating. The door banged upstairs, and she hurried upstairs, hoping Max wasn't having a difficult time putting him in bed."Hey, Monica, can you help me out? I need to use the bathroom." He seemed to be holding a puke and as Monica arranged the bed, he placed Spencer on the nearby couch and rushed into the bathroom.Monica felt dazed already by what Max told her. All she wanted was to go back and rest. She placed the pillow and was about to shut the cabinet when she noticed a photo of her inside. She picked it out, her fingers trembled. There were several others inside.There were pictures of her, but they weren't from recent times. This was about four years ago when she started modeling. She was picking flowers outside her door when one was taken and another was when she was practicing her walk

Inside the disciplinary office at the Mo's Fashion Empire, Angel had her head bowed after watching the CCTV footage of herself while adding an aphrodisiac to the boss's coffee. She had distracted the secretary and used that chance to add the drug to the coffee."Why would you do something like that? You could end up in jail, Ms White." The head of the department reprimanded, "I won't say you have a crush on him because you don't even know what he looks like."Tears slipped out of her eyes when she saw her contract being pulled out. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to pull off a stupid prank on Monica. I didn't want to hurt anyone.""Those are just your excuses. It really doesn't matter to the company. You are just lucky the CEO is in a good mood. Leave my sight. I'll speak to your manager."Angel hurried out of the office. If her hatred for Monica was mild, now it would just triple. She met Adriana in the hall."Are you okay?" Adriana held her hands and managed to calm her down.Her breathin

Lake's hands trembled as he dropped his phone. The hospital had just called to inform him about the need to accelerate his mother's surgery. His fingers clenched. There weren't many options. Either he sold the house or the business, the money wouldn't even be enough for the loan not to talk about his mother's surgery. His whole income goes to the hospital, loans or bills. Throwing the scattered bills into his cabinet, he dressed up and left for the hospital. He signed in and proceeded to the ward. As soon as he pushed open the door, his heart broke in anticipation of seeing his mother looking lifeless as always. She had never been the same after his father died. His eyes widened as he spotted the empty bed and neatly tucked sheets. He panicked. Where was his mother? He rushed out of the room. His head spinning. He didn't dare think about the possibility as he rushed to the nurse at the front desk. The thought of losing his mother made his heart clench."Where is my mom?" he almost

Earlier That DayInside Spencer's office, Adriana was called in by him. She saw him looking at Monica's pictures with a grim expression.She locked the door. "What's the meaning of this, Adriana?" he pointed at the pictures on his desk."What?" She batted her lashes innocently."Look at these photos, the advertising department obviously cannot work with this," he snapped. Monica's photos at the beach were all taken at the wrong angle. She folded her hands across her chest. "I didn't know, you could work with just Angel's own." She suggested, which infuriated Spencer."Just Angel's own. You are doing this on purpose, Adriana,"Spencer snapped again.Adriana rolled her eyes, then sat on the chair, "I'm not doing anything on purpose, it was obviously a mistake, and I'm sorry.""Don't make work difficult for me,"Spencer warned coldly."Can't you see what's happening? You are doing it again. Getting obsessed with her all over again."Spencer's expression went from annoyance to anger. He f

He caught Lake just before he could fall to the ground, supporting him with one arm around his waist.Lake blinked, his vision blurry. “What the hell...” he mumbled, still disoriented.Max’s grip tightened on his waist, holding him steady. “Lake, are you okay? What just happened?”“I’m fine,” Lake muttered, though he didn’t feel fine at all. His heart raced, but the dizziness still hadn't passed. He pushed Max’s arm away, trying to regain his composure.Max didn’t let go, though. “You sure about that? You nearly passed out.”Lake tried to push him off again, but this time, his mom intervened. “Max, let him go. He needs to sit down.”Max hesitated but released his hold. Lake steadied himself with a hand on the chair, his mom’s concerned gaze following him closely.“You scared me,” his mother said softly, her voice laced with worry. “You need to take care of yourself, Lake.”“I’m fine,” Lake snapped a little too sharply, still feeling dizzy.Max crossed his arms, raising a brow. “Doesn'

Lake pushed open the door, and a nurse who had been attending to his mother stood up with a polite smile. “I’ll leave you two alone,” she said, giving Lake’s mom a quick glance before exiting the room.His mother’s eyes lit up when she saw them. “Well, you came earlier than I expected, I was even beginning to think of ways to convince you.”Lake smiled, but the tension in his posture didn’t go unnoticed. “Hi, Mom. How are you feeling today?”“I’m feeling fine,” she said, then her gaze shifted to Max. A playful grin spread across her face. “Hold on,” she said, her eyes narrowing mischievously, “you didn’t tell me your friend was this good-looking, Lake.”Lake flushed slightly, his hand instinctively rubbing the back of his neck. “Mom, stop, you are going to make his ego burst.”Max stepped forward, offering a confident smile and the bouquet of flowers he had brought. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, ma’am, I have always wanted to meet my future...”Before he could complete, Lake hit his a

Monica twirled a pen between her fingers as she waited for Spencer to return from the bathroom. The soft sound of the faucet shutting off was followed by his footsteps and then—he reappeared, casually dressed in a new outfit and then put a big old jacket over it.Her eyes darted to his jaw, then quickly away. Why did he always have to look that good? It was becoming distracting. Dangerous as she was beginning to notice too “Are you okay?” Spencer asked, noticing her flushed expression as he took his seat.Monica nodded too quickly, brushing it off.A knock cut through the air before the door creaked open and Diane peeked in. “Sir, Liam McKenzie is here to see you. Should I send him away or…?”Spencer paused, then said calmly, “You can send him in after a few minutes.”Monica’s body stiffened at the name. She stood and walked to Spencer, who was already slipping into character, putting his usual cold mask as he turned his chair to face away from the door.“You can stay in that room,”

A grin slowly tugged at the corners of his lips. “You’re acting like…”Monica clamped her mouth shut, cheeks burning. Her gaze betrayed her though—it dipped to his lips, lingering just a second too long. Like they had betrayed her. Like she wanted to erase the memory of Adriana’s kiss with her own.Monica didn’t answer. She turned away, but not before he caught the ghost of a smile playing at her lips.****“Good,” the Coach called out, nodding with approval as the male model strutted confidently from one end of the hall to the other, sharp and composed.Lake stepped aside, wiping sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. He grabbed a water bottle, took a long sip, and exhaled. The air inside the studio was thick with heat and tension—everyone was pushing to be flawless.After a brief moment, he tossed the bottle aside and rejoined the line, slipping seamlessly into place.Practice stretched on for another thirty minutes. The room echoed with the clack of shoes, the barked

Lake rushed into the elevator at the Mo’s Fashion Empire just before the doors slid shut. His breath came in short puffs from the quick dash, but it wasn’t just the sprint that made his pulse race.Max was already inside.Their eyes met for a brief second—sharp, loaded. Max's jaw tightened as he looked away and folded his arms across his chest. The cold shoulder was unmistakable.Lake swallowed and shifted awkwardly, glancing at the glowing floor numbers before finally gathering the nerve to speak.“Max…”No response.Lake clenched and unclenched his hands, fingers fidgeting at the hem of his shirt. The silence between them was deafening.“I know you don’t want to talk to me right now,” he said, his voice low, almost hesitant. “But... I really need you to come to breakfast tomorrow. With my mom.”Max didn’t move at first. Then, he let out a quiet scoff and shook his head slightly, still staring at the elevator doors."Max, please," Lake said, stepping closer as the elevator hummed sof

Lake dropped off at the hospital after his last gig. He wanted to see his mom before going back to the house. As he pushed open the door to her ward, his heart sank at the sight of her fragile figure on the bed. She still looked weak—too weak.Thanks to Max, the surgery was going to take place in two days.He took the seat by her bedside and gently took her hand.“Lake, my beautiful boy,” she murmured weakly, opening her eyes.“Mom.” Lake gave her a soft, heartbreakingly proud smile at the sound of her voice.“It’s really you... I’ve missed you,” she whispered, lifting her trembling hand to touch his head. He leaned forward so she could.“I’ve missed you too, Mom.”She scanned his face and frowned. “You look lean. Haven’t you been eating?”He shook his head. “I’m fine, Mom. The doctors are going to perform your surgery soon. I just need you to be strong for me, okay?”Her eyes fluttered shut for a second before she blinked them open again. “Where did you get the money? I know we were
Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother Chapter 54: Don't Break Me
Spencer got into the car the second he stepped out of the company, his jaw clenched as he slammed the door shut. The engine roared to life, and he zoomed off without thinking. His foot stayed heavy on the pedal, the car slicing through the empty road like a blade. No brakes.He didn't slow down once.Then—suddenly—he slammed his foot on the brake. The tires screeched, the car jerking violently to a stop on the shoulder. His chest heaved.Both hands clutched the steering wheel so tight his knuckles turned white, veins bulging against his skin.“Why would she look at me that way?” he growled.He slammed his palms against the wheel. Once. Twice. Over and over. Each thud echoed in the quiet car, but it didn’t dull the ache in his chest.“I always lose in the end,” he snarled and hit the wheel again.His eyes narrowed like a switch had flipped—and just like that, he was flying down the road again.Minutes later, he pulled into the Lake house, the driveway empty and silent. He pushed the do

Spencer stumbled toward the car, heart pounding so loudly he could barely hear anything else. This wasn't how it was supposed to turn out, everything had been going so well.His fingers fumbled with the door handle, but before he could pull it open, Max rushed after him and slammed the door shut."What the hell is your problem, man?" Max barked. "Have you seen what you’re turning into because of this girl?""Leave me alone," Spencer snapped, his voice rough and low.He couldn’t stop the way his hands shook — not from weakness, but from fear.Not fear of what Adriana might do.Fear of what Monica might see.Fear of what she might finally realize about him.Max let out a long, frustrated breath. "Fine. You wanna go to your company? Then we’re going together. That way I can keep an eye on you, before you end up doing something stupid."Spencer didn’t argue.He slid into the passenger seat without a word, his mind racing faster than the car speeding into the night."Thanks," he muttered.
