CHAPTER 39: GOING AFTER KIM

DAMIEN:

"Damn it, Kim," I muttered, rushing out of the hall. I didn't pay attention to the staff who turned to stare at me as I ran after my wife.

“Kim please, hear me out.”

But she didn't stop.

By the time I reached the driveway, I saw her car already racing out of the estate’s tall wrought-iron gates. I ran back inside and got my car keys. Kim's key holder is attached to her phone pouch so it was easy for her to just drive out

I jumped into my Aston Martin Vantage, revved the engine, and pulled out, keeping a safe distance so she wouldn’t know I was following.

It was around 6:am now and a lot of people were already on their way to work but luckily, there weren't any holdups. It didn't take long before I caught up with Kim.

My head kept replaying Barbra’s vile words. She knew exactly what buttons to push. Kim didn’t deserve that. None of this.

It's obvious she's manipulating Roland, using him to get to me. But I will beat her at her own game.

  • TRADING MY EX FOR HIS STEP BROTHER    SOMETHING IS BREWING

    CHAPTER 59: SOMETHING IS BREWING KIMBERLY:When we arrived at the hospital, we were told that my Mum had been discharged early this morning."Discharged?" I asked the nurse again, trying to make sense of her words. I mean, my father was at the Carter's last night and didn't say anything about Mum being discharged the next day. As a matter of fact, he came to confront me about not coming to check on Mum for two days. And I had promised to come check on her this morning.The nurse nodded politely. "Yes, Mrs. Carter. Your mother was discharged first thing this morning. Mr. Walker came for her."I blinked. "Mr. Walker?" That's definitely my Dad."Yes. He signed all the documents and took her home."Damien was quiet beside me, but I could feel his hand tighten around mine. He was as puzzled as I was."Okay," I murmured, offering a small, confused smile. "Thanks for the update."She nodded and turned her attention to the next person standing close by.We walked back to the car in silence.

  • TRADING MY EX FOR HIS STEP BROTHER    FACING BARBRA

    CHAPTER 58: FACING BARBRA DAMIEN:I adjusted the cuff of my shirt, glancing at Kim through the mirror as she applied the last touch of gloss to her lips. She looked... stunning. She wore a tailored, light blue blazer that hugged her figure perfectly, paired with white wide-leg trousers that made her legs look even longer. She looked classy. Powerful. And every bit the head of analytics she has now become."Are you ready, Mrs. Carter?" I asked, walking up behind her and wrapping my arms around her waist.She gave me a small smile through the mirror. "I was born ready. You, however, look like you didn’t sleep much.""I had to work on my system for a few hours.”“Hours? And I didn't even notice your absence?” She looked genuinely surprised.“It's hard for you to notice when you were sleeping like that. Peaceful. Soft."She chuckled and leaned into me. "You're getting poetic again. Be careful how you play with words or you might just have me turned on."I smirked. "Then we'll just tak

  • TRADING MY EX FOR HIS STEP BROTHER    JUST DON'T STOP

    CHAPTER 57: JUST DON'T STOPKIMBERLY:I wasn’t sure how my hands moved but before I knew it, my fingers were combing through Damien's hair as he deepened the kiss.I moved my body closer to his and the world behind us fell silent, as though it understood we needed space to breathe. There was no interruptions as his eyes met mine, intense yet soft, flickering with unspoken words and untamed emotion.I didn’t speak. There was no need to say anything. And maybe that was the strange beauty of being with Damien. Sometimes, silence felt more intimate than any whispered confession.He pulled me closer as if he wanted to absorb my body into his.“Kim…” His voice was low, husky, and definitely seductive.“Yes?” I breathed, barely able to form words.His hand reached up and brushed a stray curl behind my ear. “Do you have any idea what you do to me?”I tried to smile, but something about his gaze made my chest tighten. “I could ask you the same thing.”He chuckled softly, that deep, velvet soun

  • TRADING MY EX FOR HIS STEP BROTHER    THAT STRANGE HUG

    CHAPTER 56: THAT STRANGE HUGKIMBERLY:Damien walked slightly ahead of me, his hand resting gently on the small of my back. But even his touch couldn’t distract me from the turmoil in my heart.Whenever I came in contact with my father. James Walker, I always ended up being embarrassed. He made sure to remind me that I was an unwanted child. Him and my mum were very young and didn't plan on having me. But I came, anyway. And I haven't heard the end of it.As we walked into the Carter family living room, I saw my father sitting like he belonged there. Seated beside him were Kelvin Carter, Damien's father, and Barbra, Damien's overly-involved stepmother.I froze.My stomach twisted as if I had just swallowed ice. My dad, the same man who had never visited me without an agenda, was now rising to his feet, arms opening as he approached me with what looked like warmth. That was new. That wasn’t like him.And I couldn't help but frown."Kim," he said, pulling me into an unexpected hug. I

  • TRADING MY EX FOR HIS STEP BROTHER    KIM'S BRILLIANT IDEA

    CHAPTER 55: KIM'S BRILLIANT IDEA DAMIEN:I read the email, sighed and continued working. It was nearly 6:15 PM when a gentle knock landed on my office door. I looked up from my laptop, still brooding over the email sitting open on my screen. The subject line alone had been enough to piss me off: "Support Barbra's Initiative – From Your Father, Kelvin Carter."The door creaked open slightly, and Kim's head poked in."Hey," she said, smiling softly. "Mind if I come in?"I forced a half-smile. "Of course not. You don’t need permission to come into my office."She stepped in, closing the door behind her. She had changed out of her blazer, leaving her in a sleek cream blouse tucked into black pencil skirt. She wore minimal makeup which had almost faded away. Her hair was up in a soft bun but she still managed to look like she owned the damn company."You don’t look happy," she said, taking the seat across from my desk.I leaned back in my chair and sighed, raking a hand through my hair."

  • TRADING MY EX FOR HIS STEP BROTHER    BARBRA HAS A NEW PLAN

    CHAPTER 54: BARBRA HAS A NEW PLAN DAMIEN:I shut the door behind me with a thud and let out a frustrated sigh. I dropped into my chair and loosened my tie, staring blankly at the phone in front of me. I considered ignoring that call, but it kept vibrating. Reluctantly, I picked it up and answered, trying to mask the irritation still lingering in my tone.“Barbra.”“Oh, good. You finally picked up,” she said quickly, without so much as a greeting. “I’ve been thinking—Carter Corporation needs a Fashion and Lifestyle Department.”I blinked. “A what?”“You know, Fashion. Style. Couture. Every top conglomerate is diversifying. I have someone really talented in mind to run it too. Young, talented. Very passionate.”“And this is something that couldn’t wait until I got home?” I asked, already rubbing the bridge of my nose.“You don’t understand, Damien,” she said, her voice slightly clipped. “We need to move quickly on this. I’ve already set up a few informal interviews and made preliminar
