EMILY’S POV

The ride to my home was silent, the busy light in the streets passed by like a film I couldn't focus on.

My thoughts replayed my encounter in Victoria's office. Her cold eyes, her words cutting through my confidence and the sight of her kissing and hugging Ethan in front of me felt as if my world had turned upside down.

When I reached home, I settled the driver and went inside my apartment. I dropped my tote bag on the table as I sank on the couch.  I pulled out my sketchbook and clip through the pages.  My designs that once felt like a dream come true, a hope now looks like an evidence of a testament of failure.

The way she began crossing out some of the sketches. Big, bold X’s across the designs I had spent all night perfecting made my stomach to tightened and the energy in me died instantly.

I need a fresh air, I need to clear my mind. I grabb

    EMILY'S POV“Babies?” Florida repeated after me, her soft, curious voice cutting through the gentle hum of the amusement park.I turned slightly to look at her. Her big eyes were focused on me, filled with a mix of innocence and confusion that only a child could carry. For a moment, I hesitated. But then I gave her a small chuckle, trying to mask the heaviness in my chest.“I had two,” I said softly, my voice barely above a whisper. “But I lost them.”Her little hands suddenly froze around her melting ice cream. Without saying another word, she set her cup gently down on the table between us and did something that completely took me by surprise, she stood up, walked around to my side of the bench, and hugged me tightly.So tightly.Her small arms wrapped around my torso as she buried her head into my side, stroking my back

    EMILY’S POVI slipped quietly into the storage room and gently closed the door behind me, the soft click echoing louder in the silence. I leaned my back against it and let out a deep breath, shutting my eyes. The cool, faint scent of old cardboard boxes, wood polish, and faint dust filled my nostrils, familiar and oddly comforting.I pressed my hand to my chest and tried to slow the rhythm of my heart. My emotions had been swirling wildly ever since I walked away from Ethan. I needed to ground myself again.Then I heard it.His voice. Calm. Distant. A little too casual.“Emily, I have to go. I’ll call you.”His words came from the living room, muffled slightly by the walls between us, but I heard them clearly. The next moment, I heard the sound of the door shutting. It wasn’t slammed. Just... closed.I waited

    EMILY’S POV“Hope you're good now?” Ethan asked me, again. It was probably the tenth time he’d said those words since I calmed down from this morning’s emotional spiral.I just nodded quietly, my arms still wrapped around him. I clung to him like a child clinging to their mother after a nightmare, needing comfort, needing reassurance, needing warmth that only he could provide.We had eventually made our way back to the couch, where the soft hum of a romantic drama filled the silence between us. The movie played, its story unfolding, but neither of us paid too much attention. It was just background noise. Our thoughts were louder.Ethan had his arm around me, and my head rested on his chest. His fingers traced small, slow circles on my arm. There was something about the rhythm of his touch that calmed the restlessness in my heart, even if my mind wasn’t entirely set

  • Seducing My Ex's Brother    Chapter 101

    EMILY'S POVThe next dayThe soft morning sun filtered through the sheer white curtains, casting a golden hue over the room. It was gentle and warm, the kind of sunlight that made the skin feel kissed rather than burned. The glow crawled slowly across the bed until it reached my face, warming my cheeks delicately.I stirred beneath the soft, cotton sheets, pulling them a little tighter around me before slowly opening my eyes. I blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the light. For the first time in what felt like forever, my body wasn’t tense. My mind wasn’t racing. There was a strange but welcome peace that settled over me, a stillness I hadn’t known in days. No arguments, no tension, no pain. Just quiet. Just the hum of life returning to normal.I yawned, stretching my arms upward with a small groan, my fingers brushing against the cool headboard. My body felt slightly sore, but in a good way

  • Seducing My Ex's Brother    Chapter 100

    EMILY'S POVI turned around slowly, and there he was, Ethan, standing in the doorway of my bedroom. The moment our eyes met, time paused. My chest rose and fell heavily, weighed by everything unspoken between us. Behind him stood Olivia, her eyes briefly flickering between the two of us."I'll give you guys some space by heading to my home," Olivia said gently, offering a small nod before turning and walking away. She didn’t wait for me to respond maybe she already knew this was a moment that needed no audience.The door closed softly behind her, and now it was just Ethan and me.He stepped into the room, his presence filling the space more than it ever had before. He was dressed casually, just a simple shirt and dark jeans but somehow, it made him look even more devastatingly handsome. It reminded me of all the little fantasies I used to have of us raising a boy and a girl together. Children w

  • Seducing My Ex's Brother    Chapter 99

    EMILY'S POVThe room was thick with tension, the kind that sits heavy in the air and makes it hard to breathe. Celeste stood there, still not fully understanding the trap that had just snapped shut around her. Her eyes, wild and searching, kept darting between the babies in their incubators and me. But I was done showing mercy. This time, I wanted her to feel the weight of every single thing she had tried to do.“So you set me up,” I began, my voice low but sharp as glass. “All of this because I dared to speak the truth? All because I sent your cousin to jail for a crime she committed?” My words hit her like slaps in the face, but she didn’t flinch.Instead, she laughed. A short, sharp, bitter laugh that had no real humor in it. “And these babies,” she sneered, gesturing with a tilt of her chin toward the life-saving machines. “They have to die.”
