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'

  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    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
