DENISE'S POV

The sting on my cheek refused to fade. It pulsed beneath my skin like a silent reminder of the humiliation I had just endured. That slap… that ridiculous, uncalled-for slap from that silly little girl, Ethan’s employee or whoever she thought she was. It wasn’t even the pain that infuriated me, it was the audacity.

And what made my blood boil even more? Ethan, Ethan! just stood there and let it happen. Worse, he had the nerve to support her actions. He didn’t even flinch. Didn’t say a word in my defense. He just let me stand there like a fool, with my face burning and my pride scattered across the floor.

I swear on everything I have, that girl won’t live to see the daylight of her life if it’s the last thing I do. She messed with the wrong person.

“Why are you here?” Ethan’s voice cut through my thoughts sharply, dragging me back to the present. His tone was cold, clipped, and professional far from the warmth he used to offer me in the past. “I'm sure you didn't leave home

    EMILY’S POV“Denise, how could you?” I thundered, my voice shaking with raw rage. “And you call yourself her mother!”My entire body trembled as I fought to contain the fury pulsing through me like fire in my veins. My fists were clenched at my sides, and I could feel my breath catching in my throat. I wasn’t just angry, I was devastated, sickened by her cruelty.Her eyes widened, her lips parted slightly in shock. For the first time since this whole mess began, she actually looked unsure. But that flicker of hesitation vanished just as quickly as it appeared, replaced with her usual burning hatred. She stood up from her chair, fists balled, and with one sharp movement, she swung her hand toward my face.But I was faster.I struck her first, again.My palm connected with her other cheek, causing her to stumble slightly to the side. The smack echoed loudly in the quiet office, and I could hear the collective gasp from the doctors and nurses in the room. No one dared to interfere yet.“

    EMILY’S POV“Sweetie,” I whispered softly, trying not to sound too alarmed. “What are you trying to say?”I reached out and held her small hands gently in mine. Her palms were clammy, her fingers slightly trembling. Her eyes, already glossy, brimmed with unshed tears and just like that, the dam broke. She burst into tears right in front of me, her body shaking with each breathless sob.“I want to apologize to you for hurting you,” she whimpered through her tears, her tiny voice fragile and raw. “I’m sorry. I’m very sorry…”My heart clenched tightly at her apology, an apology she didn’t even need to make. I wrapped my arms around her and held her to my chest, gently rocking her like a fragile porcelain doll.“Sweetie, no,” I whispered, my voice barely steady. “You didn’t do anything wrong. Not a single thing. You don’t need to apologize for anything. None of this is your fault.”She pulled back slightly from the hug, sniffling as she wiped her nose with the back of her hand.“My mom…”

    EMILY’S POV“What!” Denise shouted, her voice cracking with outrage. “Are you trying to say that I poisoned my daughter? Are you out of your damn mind?” Her face twisted with fury, eyes bulging in disbelief as her voice echoed through the hallway.I didn’t flinch.I scoffed quietly, folding my arms and looking her dead in the eye. “Like I said, be grateful, Denise,” I said slowly, with a calmness that seemed to provoke her even more. “If I hadn’t shown up when I did, only God knows what would have happened to your daughter. Maybe you’d be kneeling in a funeral home instead of standing here screaming at me like a lunatic. You wouldn’t even have the chance to argue with me.”Her lips parted to speak again, probably to throw another insult or another wild accusation but before she could say anything else, the sound of the hospital ward door opening cut through the tension like a sharp blade.Ethan stepped out, closing the door behind him quietly. His face was unreadable, the shadows unde

  • Seducing My Ex's Brother    Chapter 172

    EMILY’S POVI sat beside Florida’s hospital bed, my eyes fixed on her small, fragile form lying so quietly, so still. Her breathing was even now, no longer shallow or weak. The oxygen mask rested gently over her nose and mouth, and her eyelids fluttered slightly as she slept peaceful at last.Relief slowly washed over me, but the fear still clung to the corners of my heart.I reached out and brushed a strand of hair off her forehead. Her temperature had dropped, thanks to the doctors’ swift intervention. She looked like she was just taking a nap now, as if the horror from earlier never happened.Ethan stepped back into the private ward. He had just escorted the doctors outside after they finished their observations. His face was blank, unreadable, but I could see the tension in his shoulders, the heaviness in the way he walked. He wasn’t okay either.“What did they say?” I asked gently, turning my gaze from Florida to him.He looked at our sleeping girl for a moment, then slowly met m

  • Seducing My Ex's Brother    Chapter 171

    EMILY’S POVThe moment my car screeched to a stop in front of the camp, I threw the door open and jumped out without even turning off the engine. My feet pounded against the gravel as I ran toward the gathering of students and teachers. My eyes scanned the area frantically until I finally saw her, Florida, standing weakly under a shade, supported by her homeroom teacher.She looked so small. So tired. Her arms were hanging loosely by her side, and her face was pale. I didn’t even wait to catch my breath as I rushed toward her. My knees buckled the moment I reached her and I dropped down in front of her, pulling her into my arms.The second she wrapped her small arms around my shoulders, I felt it.Her body was burning.“Oh God,” I muttered, touching her forehead and then her neck. “Geez… she’s running a high temperature. What happened? What caused this? Did she fall? Eat something? Was she stung by anything?” I fired the questions rapidly, turning to look at the woman standing just be

  • Seducing My Ex's Brother    Chapter 170

    EMILY’S POV“Emily!!!” she screamed, her voice shrill and furious, drawing the attention of half the café. People turned their heads toward us, startled by the outburst. A few began whispering, others simply stared in awkward silence. I didn’t even flinch. Instead, I rolled my eyes and scoffed under my breath, more exhausted than surprised by her never-ending drama.I picked up my handbag and slowly rose to my feet. But I wasn’t done yet. There were still words that needed to be said, things that had to be cleared, if not for her sake, then for mine.“The bullying scandal you created,” I began, my voice calm but laced with firm resolve, “I’ve already resolved it. I’ve done what you should have done. I stood up and cleaned the mess you tried to drown me in. And I hope someday, you’ll find the courage to repent for the big sin you just committed.”She glared at me, her lips pressed tightly together in a mixture of rage and humiliation.I tilted my head, staring at her for a long second.
