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

  • Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother    Chapter 73: Atlanta Fashion Week

    Spencer fell on the bed after a tense conversation with his bodyguard. His investigator had pulled up everything on Brad—and now he almost regretted it.Turns out Brad and Monica were really close. Too close.If Liam hadn’t come into the picture...“She probably would have ended up with him,” he muttered under his breath.His laptop was still playing footage of the living room, but Monica and Brad were gone.He blinked, sat up—just as Max walked out of the bathroom in comfy clothes.Max jumped on the bed. “What are you thinking about, Spencer?”“The door is extremely not soundproof,” Spencer snapped, not looking at him. “So keep your adventures quiet.”Max chuckled. “Sorry, man.”“Shut up. Stop making it feel weird.”Max laughed again. “You know, after you found out I was gay, you never treated me differently.”Spencer dropped back on the bed. “Is it time to get emotional because you’ve got the best kind of friend?”“I mean... I was expecting you to treat me differently,” Max shrugged

  • Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother    Chapter 72: Jealousy

    Monica raised a brow. “I didn’t expect you to show up. Especially after saying I use men to get what I want and then dump them.”Brad winced. “You’re making me sound like a total jerk.”She scoffed, brow still lifted.“Fine. I’m sorry,” he said, giving in at the annoyed look on her face.“You should stop breaking into my place and try acting like a normal human being for once,” Monica said as she sat on the couch.Brad smiled faintly. “We’re back to bickering mode.”“Doesn’t mean I forgive you for what you said,” she added.“I know. I should’ve been more thoughtful—especially knowing how much you loved Tia-Tia and what you gave up for her.” His gaze dropped to the floor, then to her.Her expression shifted, her chest tightening at the mention of the little girl. “I think I’m going to need a drink.” She made to stand, but Brad gently caught her hand.“You’ve got something big tomorrow. You shouldn’t.”Reluctantly, she sat back down. “You’re right.”“I was blinded, Monica. Jealousy, gui

  • Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother    Chapter 71: Abroad but Teasing

    Spencer didn’t stop, and neither did Monica. Her body arched into his, and he snaked his arms around her, deepening the kiss.“Monica…”She jolted back. “Spencer!”“Are you okay? You zoned out on me,” Spencer said, brows furrowed.Making an ooh face, she shrank away. Did I just imagine myself making out with Spencer? she thought.“I’m fine,” she choked out, flustered.“I’m going to travel out tomorrow. I need to help Max with some issues and…”Monica frowned. “You won’t be back for Day 1 of Fashion Week?”“Probably not,” he whispered.“Oh.” Monica turned away, unsure why the news made her so sad.“You shouldn’t meet up with people alone,” he added. “It can be pretty dangerous.”Monica raised a brow. “Shouldn’t you be apologizing for kissing me and then running off?”“I thought—”“No worries. It’s fine. I don’t mind,” she murmured, leaning against the car seat.“After Fashion Week, I’m going to help you find everything on your mother,” he said quietly.Monica chuckled and closed her ey

    Max exhaled slowly, the night air cold against his skin as he stood on the balcony, wine glass in hand. Inside, Lake coughed softly from the bed. Max turned, watching as Lake blinked awake and slowly sat up, eyes darting around the room like he didn’t recognize it.“You’re finally awake,” Max said as he stepped back inside.Lake rubbed his face and glanced at the wall. “What time is it?”Max pointed at the clock.“Shit. Eleven?” Lake muttered as he swung his legs over the side of the bed, grabbing his shoes in a rush.“Where do you think you’re going?” Max asked calmly, but there was a tightness in his tone.“Home,” Lake replied, straightening up and looking around for his phone.“Home?” Max repeated, setting the wine glass down. “It’s late. Stay here. I’m not letting you walk out like that.”Lake paused. “I don’t want to stay.”“Why?” Max’s voice sharpened. “Because I’m gay? You think I’ll try something?”Lake rolled his neck, jaw tight. “You said that. Not me.”Max let out a bitter

  • Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother    Chapter 69: I want you

    Monica was finally done with the interview and the photoshoot. When she got back to the lake house, she let out a deep breath and leaned back on the desk. Everything was moving so fast. Her head felt full, her body heavy.She looked up and spotted the small camera Spencer had installed. He’d told her he had shut it down, but somehow… she knew he was lying.Her thoughts drifted back to the kiss. He had been like a mad dog, wild with jealousy just because she’d gone to see Brad. And Brad’s daughter—Tia—had died.Monica sighed as she exhaled slowly. Her chest ached. She needed to talk to Brad. Only he could stop Brie’s men from coming after her.Confronting Brie now would only cause trouble, especially with the media watching her every move. They could twist the story however they wanted. It wouldn’t be good for her image or the brand."Just wait till this fashion week is over," Monica muttered. "You and I, Brie, we have a lot to talk about."She winced, noticing a small bruise on her fi

  • Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother    Chapter 68: The Interview

    Madison's heart pounded in her chest, her eyes wide with disbelief."What?" she whispered, her lips parting in shock. "You are kidding me right now."Her gaze flickered to Lake lying on the bed, a wave of realization crashing over her."Of course you're not kidding, he's your boyfriend," she muttered, a mix of anger and hurt swirling inside her.With a sense of urgency, she grabbed her medical box from the floor and rushed out of the room, leaving behind a palpable tension.Sam raised an inquisitive brow at Max, who was visibly tense, running his fingers through his hair in agitation."That seemed easier than I had ever imagined," Sam remarked, his voice betraying a hint of unease."I was hoping to avoid confronting my mom about this," Max confessed in a hushed tone as he made his way to the door. "But I guess I have no choice now."With a heavy sigh, Sam picked up a bowl of water and followed Max out of the room.***Monica walked out of the changing room in a skin-tight gown that

  • Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother    Chapter 67: The Truth

    Monica doesn’t have much choice but to get into Spencer’s house and find something to wear, since her clothes are already destroyed. She heads straight to the company.She gets in and walks to Diane, who’s already waiting for her.“I know it’s way past your work hours, but the CEO specifically asked us to release all the designs that would have been used by you today.”“What?” Monica stares. Release all the designs today—then what was she supposed to use on the runway? “Are you being serious right now?”“Our competitor found a way to steal our designs, so...”“You guys are throwing me off the runway?” Monica stiffens with unease, running her fingers through her hair. “Why is today such a bad day, huh?”Diane reaches out. “Look, the CEO doesn’t do things without a backup plan. Just have faith in him.” She says it with a little less professionalism this time.Have faith in Spencer? This is more than just modeling. This is her entry into the industry. She can’t afford to flop.She takes

  • Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother    Chapter 66: The Beginning

    Spencer dropped Monica in the car and turned to the driver's seat. He took a deep breath as he started the car."What were you doing with him, Monica," Spencer muttered as he ignited the engine and drove to his house.He got out and carried her in a bridal style into the house. Aunt Suzy and her daughter were not in the house.As he ascended the stairs, Monica stirred and slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes met Spencer's cold ones and she looked around."How did I get here?" she asked.Spencer gazed at her, then raised a brow."You passed out at a bar with some guy watching over you. I'm sure it rings a bell," he mumbled as he continued up the stairs.The memories suddenly tackled her, one by one, until her chest tightened."Tia Tia… where is Brad?" she asked, struggling to get out of Spencer's arms. But his hold was too tight. Too unwilling to let go."What." He raised a brow again. "You want to run back to your lover?""What lover?" she snapped, his words stabbing at the raw place wher

    The bartender came back with Brad.Spencer stepped forward, frowning. “Who the hell are you? And where is she?”Brad sighed and waved the bartender away. “Who the hell are you? Because you’re not the guy she married.”Spencer looked taken aback. “What?”“I’m Brad Holland,” Brad said. “Monica passed out after hearing something. The doctor’s checking on her.”“I want to see her,” Spencer said sharply.Brad crossed his arms. “And who exactly are you to her?”Spencer’s eyes darkened. “Her friend.”Brad raised an eyebrow. “Really? Just a friend?”Spencer didn’t answer. The air grew tense.Brad gave a small nod. “Fine. You can see her. But she’s not leaving with you. Not until she wakes up and says so herself.”“Fair enough,” Spencer muttered.Brad led him through the large bar, past several back rooms. When they reached one, he opened the door just as the doctor was about to leave.“She’s just stressed. Let her rest—she’ll wake up soon,” the doctor said, shaking Brad’s hand before walking
