Seducing My Ex's Brother Chapter 13
EMILY POVAfter dinner at the restaurant with Olivia. I left for home. Daniel and Camille had left the restaurant very early and left it in chat of you cousin it's late.By the time I got home, the adrenaline had disappeared replacing it with a worn out expression. I dragged my feet out of the cab and went into my apartment.I stepped out of my boot heels and entered the living room fully as I fling my handbag on the sofa and slumped on the plushy sofa.I shut my eyes for some minutes and after two hours, my eyes opened. Goodnight I can't believe I dozed off on the couch. I went upstairs to my room and slipped my dress off my body, letting it calm on the floor and wore Ethan's jacket that I had forgotten to give back to him the other day he came to my house.The shirt was oversized and soft. It smelled like him, his cologne. I returned to the living room and heard a knock on the door.Who could it be? Ethan? I'm not expecting anyone. Emily stop deceiving yourself, a part of you is wis

I never imagined I'd be stepping my foot into the Sinclair hall, first time stepping my foot into the building. The building was massive, imposing, oppressive and can question if your heels were too loud for the marble floors."Don't look to stiff and smile," Olivia whispered as she tucked her arm into mine. She looked so engrossed in the dressing more like she belonged here. Her hair style,her gown that closed and I'm still thinking if I should have gone with the navy dress instead of the black dress."It feels I'm walking onto a place I wasn't invited into. A movie one can't walk into without auditioning," I whispered, glancing around."You look like one that owns this place." She said, smiling as she faced her front. "You deserve to be here. Let's make this invite useful,"I flashed her smile but I was still nervous. My company had landed a partnership with one of the Sinclair industries subsidiaries but still it felt like I'm stepping into another world, the Sinclair world.Not do

My eyes didn't leave him but I was not watching him.I wasn't watching.Not reallyI was just..... noticing.Ethan stood in Victoria's arms. The way he moved around with her, his eyes half lidded, the way he sipped his wine like the glass was beneath him. His expression was controlled, precise, elegant, dangerous and nothing unnecessary.Victoria Hale. Her platinum blonde hair, her face held high with a smile on her face.She whispered something into his ears and he laughed which felt like a punch to my ribs.I shouldn’t care. I shouldn’t even be looking.But I was. I couldn't look away.Victoria leaned in closer. Their bodies practically brushing, her red nails grazing the lapel of his tailored suit.Something twisted inside me—sharp and sudden. I looked down, heart hammering against the tight bodice of my dress."Liv, can we leave?" I asked, my voice barely audible."To where? Why? What happened? Why are we leaving so quick?" She blinked."I - I just-" I cleared my throat. "I'm gett

EMILY'S POVThe terrace felt colder as we kept glancing around the hoping to see the person that was watching us but no one."Do you think it's fine for us to be here discussing? What if it was a reporter that was watching us earlier? What if someone comes here and misinterpret things - what you're avoiding," I said, glancing around as I held my arms."Emily---""I'll be leaving first," I muttered, striding inside the ballroom. My conversation with Ethan played on repeat in my mind, every words he said laced with uncertain. He wanted me but his actions are saying the other wise. Not enough to stop choosing silence.I stepped back inside, and people are now dancing, discussing, and laughter floating in the room..I spotted Olivia discussing with some men and I let her focus on her discussion with them. "You okay?" She asked, as soon as she was done with her discussion. Her voice low as she moved closer to me."I'm fine," I smiled, giving her a reassuring nod. She gazed at for a second

EMILY POV"Who's she?" I heard Lady Ashton's, Daniel's mom voice."A thief," Camille responded, and Olivia was about to talk when I held her hand to stop her from talking further.My ears rang at what she identified me as, 'Thief.' Every eyes was on me. Faces should I say I'm trying to impress now gaze at me with judgement.The cuff, an emerald encrusted piece that I had admired online now nestle in my purse like it belonged there.I wish the ground could open up and swallow me in. Camille smirked at me, her arms folded. She didn't say anything but her silence was enough more than her words. I could see it in her eyes: the satisfaction."I never knew your ex was a thief. I'm glad she didn't steal our house,"Chloe, Daniel's sister murmured, spearing me glance."What a pretty talent," Lima, Daniel's second sister mumbled.All the pieces are coming together; it was intentional. "I'm sorry, excuse me," I heard another voice and everyone tilted to the doorway to see a young man in his earl

The incident was on the internet but disappeared after a day it was uploaded but negative comments has been living a free rent in my head since that day.And it wasn't just the accusations of the theft that shattered my life, it was the negative and hate comments I had received.

EMILY POVI stood frozen by the door,my hand clutching onto the door. I hadn't expect to see him, not after what had happened. Not after the silence, the headlines.Ethan standing in front of me with the same unreadable expression, stoic look he always wear like an armor. His infuriating calmness.For a moment I wanted to slam the door on his sce but this part of him that had missed badly, his voice, his touch, his fragrance, his kisses - missed everything goddamn thing made me hesitate.I stepped aside, leaving the door open.He entered without a word.I locked the door and turned to him, folding my hands. "Have your sit," I said, and he didn't. Of course he didn't, he only raised an eyebrow as if amused by my tone.That fueled the fire burning in my body."Do you want to stand there forever. And can you stop gazing at me those eyes, Ethan," I uttered, still no response. Just silence."Do you have an idea of what it felt like standing there as I was being ridiculed in front of your f

EMILY'S POVI glanced back to see Ethan's eyes widened, his innocent eyes locked on me with a smirk dancing at the corner of his lips."Your friend?" He asked, leaning forward, clearly entertained by the panic playing on my face."That would have been better," I muttered, facing him, looking up at his height. "It's Camille,"At the sound of her name, he sucked in his lower lip, trying and failing to hide the grin curling at the corner of his lips.Just then her voice broke out. Loud and singatone."I'm here to discuss with you! To apologize!"I froze, my eyeballs shifting.Apologize? Camille?I stared at him, stunned. Her words replayed in my head as it felt like an impossible dream come true to me."Ethan, please hide," I pleaded, grabbing his arm as I pulled straight to my room before he would object. I shoved inside my room and closed the door sharply."Please, I'll send her away quickly," I pleaded, my heart racing.I scanned the living room, the pillow tossed on the floor. A bl

Same night.And one of them came from the man who had kissed me like he meant it, but still hadn’t said how he truly felt.I read the message again.Then again.I didn’t know what I would say.

EMILY’S POVI couldn't shake her words off my mind. They echoed in my head for minutes after I watch her leave to attend to other guest. Her calm but calculative voice played again and again in my head."You should be careful.""You know, sometimes people get a little... possessive about things.""If I were you, I wouldn’t be too quick to trust people easily before of their nice gestures. You never know who’s playing you.""Just don’t get too comfortable, Emily. People like you don’t always get the luxury of staying comfortable."Those words replayed in my head over and over countless times.Was that a warning? Or was it a cryptic code that I have to decode.I stood in front of the designs displayed, trying to focus on the clothes, the stitching, the fabrics bu

EMILY'S POVI froze, my phone pressed harder against my ears as Ethan's voice Ethan echoed in my head.For a moment I didn't know how to respond. I hoped they didn't hear his voice or know who I was talking to.My tongue felt heavy, my heart pounding loudly. I stared at Victoria, who was watching me closely with a smug expression on her face."I'll take my leave now," I said, turning my back at her as I clutched onto my bag and phone tighter. I got outside and reduced my pace."Emily," Ethan called again, his voice raspy.I walked out of the building, stepping on a pavement to wait for a cab."Yes," I finally answered, my voice low and steady.There was a brief silence on the other end before Ethan talked again. "You're ignoring me calls and kept my text messages on read. I guess that was deliberate," He said, frustration hinting in his voice mI swallowed hard, gripping my tote bag tighter against my side. "I was busy, and I needed some space for myself," I said, keeping my voice ste

EMILY'S POVThe hotel hallway suddenly became quiet after the knock. My soul has frozen, my heart slamming against my ribs when I heard Chloe's voice from outside.I was resting on the door, unsure of my next line of action,my thoughts racing faster than a cheetahMy entire body tensed at the idea of her walking in and discovering me here, in Ethan’s suite. The last thing I wanted was for her to put two and two together.I held my breath for a few more moments, counting the seconds in my head as I waited for her footsteps to fade down the hallway. When the silence was absolute, I dared to open the door slightly, just enough to peek out. My heart still raced, but thankfully, the hallway was empty.That was too close.I closed the door quietly behind me, taking a deep, steadying breath. I needed to leave. I needed to get out of here before anything else happened, before Chloe came back or someone else discovered me. Ethan had given me access to his suite, but that didn’t mean I was supp

EMILY'S POVThe morning light filtered in softly through the curtains, casting reflection across the room. My eyes flickered open, blinking multiple times as I stretched my soul and body. I could feel Ethan's arm around my chest, his chest rising and falling in rhythm. The faint scent of his cologne still lingered in the air as his arms made me feel safe, comfortable.....secured, almost like we are the only one on earth.I shifted and turned to face him. His dark hair tousled from sleep. I smiled softly, taking in the sight of him. He looks so at peace, vulnerable in a way that he didn't let anyone see. My fingers trace the contours of his face.Ethan stirred, blinking his eyes as it met mine. There was that look in his eyes, something deep and unspoken, like there was so much he wanted to say but for some reason he didn't."Good morning," I whispered, my voice thick with sleep."Morning," He replied, his voice low and rough. He reached out, pulling me closer as his lips find it way o

Consultation turned into paid request and I found myself doing something I enjoyed, doing something I can do at my comfort zone.I wasn't serving anyone again.Now a self made boss. I was a building.In the afternoon, I sat on the dynamite titles, adjusting the glasses on my eyes..I was in the middle of a wedding concept for a bride that had approached me on Epitok..She wanted her gown modern, minimal and breathtaking. It's very challenging. She pointed out the way she wants her gown to sew but the process is hell of a kind, challenging but it's something I wanted because it's challenging.I was

EMILY'S POV"Olivia, what are you trying to say?" I asked, looking at her as my eyes narrowed. I could tell she was building up something but I just can't place my hand around it.She leaned forward, her fingers tapping on the table. "What I'm saying is that, don't you think it's time for you to start making use of your hands, those magical hands.""My hands?, Olivia, please be direct. What do you mean?" I asked, my eyes darting at my innocent hands.She gave me a small smile. "It's fashion. Emily, aren't you getting it. Your hands, your designs, your talent, the nous in your head. That should be your job now. Forget about Liu fashion store, it's their lost and yours," She asserted, giving me a big smile.It took me a minute for her words to click and almost immediately my eyes opened in excitement. "Olivia, how are you so fucking smart. You want me to start designing again right?" I inquired, and she nodded, in affirmation."Exactly. I want you to start designing, and not just desig

EMILY POVOlivia entered the kitchen and I stood at the doorway, folding my arms. "I forgot to tell you that Camille said she came over with the aim to apologize," I said, heading towards the counter, resting on it as I folded my arms across my chest. The memories of the meeting still lingered in my head like a bittersweet taste.Olivia scoffed. "The Camille bitch I know doesn't look like someone that knows how to admit to her stupidity not to talk of apologizing," She replied, rolling her eyes. "But why did Victoria tag along? Have you meet her personally before?""I haven't meet her personally before. I don't even know her, I only got to know all thanks to the introduction you did at the gala. I think they are getting suspicious about me and Ethan relationship. Camille caught us talking in a terrace at his family's gala event so she's probably piecing it together but Victoria..... she's hard to read," I expressed, spearing Olivia a glance as she began eating the breakfast I had prep
