I walked over to the bar counter and slid onto an empty bar stool, ordering a drink right away.

My eyes wandered around the place. Some people were lost in the music, their bodies moving wildly on the dance floor. Others were pressed close together, too busy making out to care about anything else. A few stayed in the corners, focused on their drinks and quiet conversations.

I had just finished my second glass when someone came up beside me.

  • Tempting My Ex’s Brother    Chapter 21

    “Happy birthday,” I said as I handed him my gift.He took it, smiling warmly. “Thank you, Ruelle.”His gaze shifted to the side, landing on Xerces. I had to elbow him subtly, just enough to signal him to say something. I even caught the soft, annoyed exhale he let out.“Happy birthday,” he muttered flatly.I frowned at the tone, which sounded more like he was commenting on some unfortunate news than celebrating.I nudged him again, quietly whispering, “Smile.”He ignored me, so I forced myself into a small smile instead. Apollo chuckled faintly at my effort.Seraphina approached us, radiant in a blue dress that flattered her figure and highlighted her flawless skin.“Happy birthday,” she said to Apollo, her voice light and airy.Apollo smiled gently and thanked her. They exchanged a few words before she faced us. Her face lit up the moment her eyes landed on Xerces. She stepped closer and hugged him war

    After a while, some of his friends started leaving the table, heading off to find girls they could flirt with. Soon enough, only the three of us were left. “Wanna dance?” Zeus asked. I nodded without hesitation. I’d already had a bit too much to drink, and the dizziness was starting to set in; my vision was slightly blurred. Good thing Zeus quickly wrapped an arm around my waist when I stood, steadying me before I could lose my balance. “You good?” he asked. I held onto his arm for support and gave him a small smile, assuring him I was fine. “How about you, dude? You really gonna stay here all by yourself?” Zeus teased. I glanced at Xerces. He was sitting with one leg crossed over the other, idly playing with the rock glass in his hand. He didn’t even bother looking at us. “I prefer it that way,” he replied curtly. “Suit yourself.” Zeus pulled me tow

    I walked over to the bar counter and slid onto an empty bar stool, ordering a drink right away. My eyes wandered around the place. Some people were lost in the music, their bodies moving wildly on the dance floor. Others were pressed close together, too busy making out to care about anything else. A few stayed in the corners, focused on their drinks and quiet conversations. I had just finished my second glass when someone came up beside me. “Hey there, gorgeous.” I looked up and saw a handsome guy holding a drink. Even though I knew I looked good tonight, I still glanced around just to make sure he was actually talking to me. When I confirmed he was, that was the only time I responded. “Yes?” “Being alone doesn’t suit someone as pretty as you,” he said smoothly. I didn’t really mind being alone tonight, but since he was already here, I figured, why not entertain it?

  • Tempting My Ex’s Brother    Chapter 18

    Before heading to work, I stopped by Xerces’s house to get something from him. Unlike in the past weeks, he opened the door almost right away. His features were relaxed and composed, which only happens once in a while.“You’re gonna eat here again?” he guessed, leaning against the doorframe.I let out a small laugh and shook my head.I hadn’t had breakfast yet, but that wasn’t what brought me here. Lately, I’ve been feeling like I’ve been gaining weight, so I figured I should start cutting back.“I’m on a diet,” I told him.His brows drew together. His gaze slowly traveled from my head down to my feet, then back up again.“In that body?” he asked, a hint of disbelief in his tone.I pouted a little. Was he saying I was already fat?“I’m just here to get a kiss.”“Kiss?” he echoed, clearly thrown off.I nodded, stepping a little closer. “Did you forget we’re supposed to kiss more often?”He frowned slightly, as if he were trying to recall when we even agreed on that. It didn’t take long

  • Tempting My Ex’s Brother    Chapter 17

    I didn’t go back to his house that day, leaving my phone with him. Good thing I had a spare to use in the meantime. Two days had already passed, and part of me still hoped he would show up at my door and apologize. I would stand outside my house around the time he usually got home from work, hoping that if he saw me, he might finally realize his mistake and say something. But since his ego was too high, he would just ignore me as if he had done nothing wrong. The last bit of hope I had finally crashed when another day passed, and he still hadn’t approached me. Before I knew it, I was already standing in front of his door, knocking before I could change my mind. I needed my phone back. All my contacts were saved there. I barely managed two knocks when the door opened. He stood there, looking just as composed as ever. Without a word, I raised my palm in front of him. He looked at it, then lifted his gaze to my face, his expression unreadable. “My phone,” I said coolly. He blinked

  • Tempting My Ex’s Brother    Chapter 16

    “Hey! Open the damn door. I have good news!” I shouted, pounding insistently against Xerces’s front door. He swung it open, irritation written all over his face. “What?” “I have good news,” I repeated, brushing past him without waiting for an invitation and stepping inside. He closed the door behind me with a sharp click. “And what exactly is that?” “I saw your ex earlier this morning.” His jaw clenched. Instead of asking me about the details of how I met her, he asked, “What did you do?” Was he seriously expecting me to harm her? “Relax. I didn’t do anything to her,” I said, rolling my eyes. “You’re acting like I’d jump at the chance to ruin her life the second I see her.” He didn’t look convinced. His eyes stayed narrowed, wary. “We exchanged a few words after I introduced myself to her,” I continued, leaning casually against the wall. “And guess what? She got subtly jealous. I knew it. She still has feelings for you,” I proudly said. “Why would she?” he asked, his voice fl

    That night, I brought some alcohol to his place. It was actually my friends whom I invited first for a drink, but they declined, saying they were busy. The good thing was that Xerces lived just across from me, so I could pester him anytime I wanted. “I’ve got a deal. We’ll compete on how many drin

  • Tempting My Ex’s Brother    Chapter 9

    A couple of months have passed, and I continued pestering him. Embarrassingly enough, none of my efforts seemed to get through to him. He remained hard to tame. Lana: I saw your ex at the mall today! Look who he was with. I felt my jaw tighten when I saw the photo she sent me. It was Gavin and my

    He shot me a cold look as I approached him. “What are you doing here?” I asked. He handed me my bag. “You left this in my car yesterday.” I took it from his hand. “Thanks, but you didn’t have to wait for me. I’ll come to your place for breakfast tomorrow anyway,” I said, grinning as I walked towa

    I stopped by a café to grab coffee before heading to work when I suddenly bumped into someone. The cup tilted in my hand, but thankfully, the coffee didn’t spill on his clothes. When I looked up, I was met with a familiar face. “Altagracia?” His face lit up. “It’s nice to see you again.” My brows
