Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother Chapter 116
The door clicked open with a soft chime as Adriana stepped inside, her heels clicking sharply against the glossy marble floor. She paused in the doorway, eyes sweeping the decadent space—chandeliers dripping from the ceiling, velvet furniture draped in gold accents, and a panoramic view of the glittering skyline beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows. Brie was already waiting. She lounged across a velvet chaise in a backless silk dress, a glass of rosé in one hand and a remote in the other, casually flipping through fashion week highlights on a muted TV screen mounted across the room. Adriana shut the door behind her with a slam. “When you told me to meet you at this penthouse,” Adriana said, stalking forward with crossed arms, “I didn’t know you did something useful with the money you stole from Liam’s company.” Brie didn't flinch. Instead, she offered a soft smile and lifted her glass lazily. “You’re welcome to sit. Or judge. I enjoy both equally.” Adriana scoffed and remai

“It’s been over four goddamn hours and you’re telling me she’s vanished into thin air? Not a single camera caught anything?” Spencer’s voice thundered through the office like a storm, slamming against the walls as the two uniformed officers stiffened under the pressure.“We’re doing everything we can, Mr. McKenzie,” one of them said cautiously. “But the details you gave us are limited. We need more time.”Spencer’s jaw clenched, veins tightening at his temples. “Time?” he spat. “She was taken from under our noses. You had one job—track her. You can’t even do that?”“Sir,” the second officer stepped in, trying to keep things civil. “We understand your concern, but your tone—”“Don’t lecture me on tone,” Spencer cut in, eyes blazing. “Just get out. Both of you.”The first officer’s lips thinned. “Out of respect for your situation, we’ll overlook the disrespect this time. But be mindful, Mr. McKenzie. You’re not above the law.”They turned and left stiffly, closing the office door behind

“But we need to talk about Anthony,” Max said gently, voice dipping low as his eyes searched Lake’s face.“I don’t want to.” Lake stepped back, trying to shake off the weight in his chest—and Max’s touch.Max didn’t let go so easily.He grabbed Lake’s wrists and pinned them softly but firmly above his head, stepping into his space. “You don’t want to?” Max murmured, leaning in.His lips brushed Lake’s neck—warm, hungry. He pressed wet, open-mouthed kisses along the sensitive curve, dragging his tongue down to the hollow of Lake’s collarbone.Lake let out a breathy moan, twisting slightly beneath his grip. “Max…”“Are you turned on?” Max teased, lips brushing over the quickening beat in Lake’s throat.Lake’s mouth parted, but instead of words, he lunged forward, desperate for another kiss. Max pulled back just an inch—just enough to deny him.He grinned.“That’s all for now,” he said, voice low and wicked. “You want more…” His thumb skimmed Lake’s bottom lip. “Then talk to me.”“Bastar

Max guided Lake carefully toward the car, one arm wrapped securely around his waist. He reached out and pulled the passenger door open with one hand, the other steadying Lake."Slowly, Lake," Max mumbled, voice low with concern.Lake didn’t respond, but the way his body leaned heavier told Max he wasn’t doing as fine as he claimed. Once seated, Lake let out a shaky breath and immediately closed his eyes, head resting back against the seat. Max watched him for a beat longer, worry pinching the corners of his brows, then gently shut the door.As Max rounded the front of the car, his eyes landed on Leo, who stood by the curb with his hands in his pockets and an unreadable look on his face."You can find your way back, right?" Max asked, his tone cool and unconcerned.Leo scoffed, one brow rising. “You can actually ask that like you mean it, you know.”Max didn’t offer a response. He had already turned away, sliding into the driver’s seat without another word."Jerk," Leo muttered under h

“Sir, you need to step out and allow the patient to rest,” a female nurse said gently as she stepped into the room, clipboard in hand and concern in her eyes.Max didn’t move immediately. He was seated at the edge of the hospital bed, holding Lake’s mother’s hand, his brows drawn tight with worry. Her breathing was uneven, her eyes glassy with exhaustion, but she still held onto him like a lifeline.“Please,” she whispered, gripping his wrist, her voice hoarse with emotion. “Protect Lake. He might come off as cold… he acts like he doesn’t need anyone, but that’s just him trying not to get hurt again. Anthony—he abused him. I didn’t see it early enough. I didn’t stop it in time.”Max's heart clenched. His jaw tightened as the weight of her words sank in.The nurse approached, her tone firmer now but still kind. “Sir, I understand. But please, don’t stimulate the patient any further. She needs rest. We’ve already adjusted her IV and blood pressure medication. Please…”Max nodded slowly,

Monica blinked against the pale morning light filtering through the curtains. Her arm stretched across the bed instinctively—but all she found was cold sheets. She sat up slowly, pushing her hair out of her face with a sigh. Gone. Of course. She glanced around, her eyes narrowing slightly—until they landed on the tray near the nightstand. A plate of toast, fruit, and a cup of coffee sat neatly arranged. She rolled her eyes but couldn’t hide the small tug at the corner of her lips. Next to the coffee was a folded note. She picked it up, unfolded it without ceremony. “Didn’t want to wake you. You looked like you hadn’t slept in weeks.” “Went to the company—Diane’s on the verge of mutiny.” “Eat something. Don’t starve yourself out of spite.” “I’ll be back.” —Spencer. Monica stared at the note for a beat, then scoffed under her breath. “Of course he signed it like a damn villain.” But her chest clenched in that familiar, annoying way it always did with him. She dr
