TRADING MY EX FOR HIS STEP BROTHER GETTING BACK THE ORIGINAL WILL
CHAPTER 65: GETTING BACK THE ORIGINAL WILL.DAMIEN :I was halfway through enjoying lunch with Kim when I got a call from my secretary. She said I had a guest. I wasn't expecting anyone that afternoon but it wouldn't hurt to find out who he was and what he wanted. So I excused myself from Kim and went back to my office without looking in the direction of the reception. I sat on my chair and began signing off a set of marketing budgets. Then my assistant called again, this time through the intercom.I picked up. “Hello?”“Sir, a man named Thornhill is here to see you.”I dropped my pen.Thornhill. The lawyer who had presided over Kim's grandmother's estate reading just two days ago. The same man whose hands visibly trembled when I subtly called out the tampered section of the will. The same man who sent two thugs to follow Kim and I, trying to intimidate us into accepting whatever nonsense he presented as Kim's grandmother's will.My jaw tightened."Send him in," I said curtly.Thorn
TRADING MY EX FOR HIS STEP BROTHER A MOMENT WITH DAMIEN
CHAPTER 64: A MOMENT WITH DAMIEN KIMBERLY:The phone rang several times but Damien didn't pick. So I dropped the phone on my desk, feeling a little frustrated and resumed working on my new research project. I was staring at the spreadsheets on my laptop screen, toggling between tabs, when my phone beeped. I glanced at it. It was just a battery signal telling me that my phone battery has gone below 20%. I also noticed the time. Two hours had passed since Roland left my office, and Damien still hadn’t called back. I picked up my phone again and stared at the call log.I had called him three times but all my calls were unanswered.I sighed, dropped the phone gently on the desk, and pushed back my chair. Maybe he was swamped with work. Maybe he was in a meeting. I shouldn't overthink it. But deep down, I knew I just needed to hear his voice, especially after my uncomfortable run-in with Roland.I returned to the report I was compiling—the preliminary market data on luxury fashion segme
TRADING MY EX FOR HIS STEP BROTHER I MISS YOU, KIM
CHAPTER 63: I MISS YOU, KIM KIMBERLY;The new project felt exciting, and I was already forming mental outlines for my proposal. “Kim, can we talk?” Roland stood with one hand tucked into his trouser pocket, the other holding his phone loosely. His eyes caught mine instantly, and I knew he’d been waiting. I didn’t slow my pace. I had no intention of entertaining him. This was the same person who objected to the idea of me working here."Kim," he called, taking a step forward.I didn’t stop. I thought that my attitude would piss him off but he didn't give up."Kimberly, please. Just one minute."I halted reluctantly. The last thing I wanted was a scene in the hallway. And Roland was totally unpredictable."What is it, Roland?" I asked, folding my arms.He took that as an invitation and fell in beside me as I resumed walking."We need to talk. Just five minutes. In your office, maybe?"I sighed, deeply. "Fine. Five minutes. That’s all." It wouldn't kill to listen to whatever trash he
TRADING MY EX FOR HIS STEP BROTHER A NEW PROJECT RESEARCH
CHAPTER 62: A NEW PROJECT RESEARCH KIMBERLY:I was neck-deep in reports when my phone buzzed. I glanced at it and saw Damien's name."Can you come to my office? Bring your tablet."I quickly gathered my things and made my way to his office. Damien's office door was slightly ajar when I got there, and I pushed it open gently."You sent me a message." I said, arching a brow as I stepped inside.He looked up from his laptop, the afternoon sunlight catching in his dark hair, casting faint shadows across his angular jawline. Damien looked calm, but there was a certain sharpness in his eyes. That look that meant something serious was coming."Close the door."That wasn’t ominous at all.I did as told and walked to his desk, settling into the chair across from him. I flipped open my tablet, ready to take notes or pull up data, whatever he needed. But he didn’t speak immediately. Instead, he studied me like he was mentally sorting out exactly how to deliver the news."What’s going on? You lo
TRADING MY EX FOR HIS STEP BROTHER WE'RE BEING FOLLOWED
CHAPTER 61: WE'RE BEING FOLLOWED KIMBERLY: I had this gnawing feeling creeping up my spine. It wasn’t anything obvious at first—just a shadow in the corner of my eye, a slight tension in the air."Damien," I said slowly, clutching my bag on my lap. "I think we’re being followed."He didn’t even blink. His fingers were relaxed on the wheel, his jaw set like granite. "I know."I turned sharply in my seat to look at him. "You know? You’re just… driving like it’s nothing?"He glanced at me with that frustratingly calm expression. "Panicking makes people sloppy. Besides, whoever it is will get what’s coming to them."I sucked in a shaky breath and turned in my seat, trying to discreetly peek through the back window. Sure enough, the same silver sedan had been behind us since we left the lawyer’s office. Every turn we made, every stoplight, they were there."What do they want? Do you think it has something to do with Tess?" I asked, my voice low.Damien didn’t answer right away. Instead,
TRADING MY EX FOR HIS STEP BROTHER THEY TAMPERED WITH THE WILL
CHAPTER 60: THEY TAMPERED WITH THE WILL KIMBERLY:Damien and I didn't see each other again as we parted ways at the top floor. I tried to be focused because I had a lot to do. As the new head of analytics, I wanted to create a good impression.But Tess's visit to the office still left me worried. She always had an angle. And today, I could feel it in the air. Something wasn’t right.She occasionally burst into my office and forced me to chat with her, which I did reluctantly. As the hours crawled toward noon and the meeting with the lawyer about Grandma Helena's will approached, Tess left. She said she had someone important to meet.I went to Damien's office and requested he accompany me to the place. Damien was an intelligent person who could see through people's pretense and read body languages .He didn't hesitate to go with me. And by the time Damien and I pulled up in front of the old law office, Tess's car was already parked out front.Tess? Well, she's grandma Helena's grand
