Malik didn’t move immediately after I said it.

“Lisa?” he repeated.

“Yes.”

He narrowed his eyes slightly. “Since when do you call her Long?”

“That’s not your concern.”

Malik leaned one shoulder against the doorframe instead of leaving.

“Right,” he said slowly. “And since when do you call employees into your office personally?”

“Since today.”

“That’s interesting.”

“Malik.”

“What?”

“Do your job.”

He tilted his head. “You know what’s funny?”

“I’m sure you’re about to tell me,” I replied

  • The Wrong Brother’s Obsession    Chapter 93

    Sophie The car slowed down two streets later.I kept a safe distance behind it, trying not to look like the world’s worst spy, which I probably already was.The car turned left, then right. It finally pulled into the parking area of a building I didn’t recognize.I slowed down too. My heart was beating faster than it should have been.“This is ridiculous,” I muttered under my breath.The car parked, and the engine went silent.I parked farther away, trying to look like someone who had absolutely nothing to do with that vehicle.For a moment, nothing happened.No one came out, no doors opened.I stared at the windshield.Was it even him?Maybe I had followed the wrong person.Maybe I had just spent the last ten minutes chasing a random stranger like a lunatic.I leaned forward slightly, trying to see better.Then the driver’s door opened… and he stepped out.Alexander.Of course it was him.I leaned back in my seat slowly.“Well,” I whispered, “this just got awkward.”I watched him cl

  • The Wrong Brother’s Obsession    Chapter 92

    SophieDropping Eve off at school took longer than it should have.It was not because of traffic or anything related to parking. It was basically because Eve had suddenly decided she had a thousand questions she needed answers to before stepping out of the car.She sat in the passenger seat, staring at the school gate like it had personally offended her.“I don’t want to go,” she said for the third time.“You said that already.”“I mean it this time.”“You meant it the first two times too.”She sighed dramatically and leaned her head against the window.“School is too early.”“It’s eight o’clock.”“That’s early.”“It’s normal.”She turned to me. “Do you think Uncle Alex wakes up this early?”“Yes.”“No he doesn’t.” She rolled her eyes and looked at me. “And I mean it.” “Eve, he does.”“He looks like someone who sleeps all day.”I laughed. “You’ve known him for one day.”“That’s enough.”She crossed her arms. Then suddenly asked, “Is he coming to pick me up after school?”My hands tig

    SophieAlexander was laughing.This was not the small smirk he usually gave people, or the quiet chuckle he tried to hide when someone said something stupid.He was actually laughing.And I was the reason.We were walking down a street I didn’t recognize. Somewhere warm. Somewhere bright. People were everywhere, but no one seemed to bother us. Some even stopped to look at us… not in a bad, but in a curious way, like they were trying to figure something out.“Are they models?” someone whispered.“No,” another person said. “They must be celebrities.”Alexander rolled his eyes when he heard that.I laughed and nudged his arm. “You heard that.”“I hear nonsense every day.”“That wasn’t nonsense.”“That was exaggerated nonsense.”A woman walking past us stopped and smiled. “You two look beautiful together,” she said.Alexander nodded politely. “Thank you,” he replied.I looked at him sideways. “You didn’t argue with that one.”“I pick my battles wisely.”“Oh really?”“Yes.”“And what made

  • The Wrong Brother’s Obsession    Chapter 89

    Alexander I read the same line in the file three times.You know, three times can look like a lot…And I still had no idea what it said.The paper sat in front of me on my desk. Numbers. Contracts. Figures that normally would have my full attention.Today, they meant nothing, because my mind kept drifting back to the same thing.Long.Or rather… Lisa.I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my temple.This was stupid.I had handled bigger problems before. Bigger risks. Bigger secrets.But this one… this one had the potential to explode in a way I couldn’t control.She was my employee.That alone was already a problem. But that wasn’t the real problem.The real problem was time.Secrets had a way of surviving for a while and then suddenly collapsing all at once.People talked.People noticed things.And when the truth came out … and it always did … it would not be quiet.I stared at the ceiling.Who are you going to get rid of? Me or her.Her voice from last night replayed again in my he

  • The Wrong Brother’s Obsession    Chapter 88

    Alexander I have no idea how to feel about Eve being in my house.That’s the truth.I expected noise. I expected chaos. I expected questions that would give me headaches.Instead, I got a small girl who looked at everything like she was measuring it, like she was trying to understand how the world worked.And I got Sophie … staying.That part mattered more than I wanted to admit.At least she was not packing a bag to run back to her apartment. At least she was not walking out every morning to “check on things.” At least she was here…Under my roof, where I could see her… where I could make sure she did not drift too far from me.I stood in the hallway after Sophie took Eve upstairs. I could hear faint whispers. Then a small gasp. Then laughter.The sound did something strange to the house. It made it less quiet. Less cold.I leaned against the wall and exhaled slowly.“She speaks too much,” I muttered to myself.But I was smiling.Later that evening, Sophie came downstairs alone. She

    Sophie I know I’m supposed to meet my uncle, but instead I find myself standing across from his wife, Elsie.“You don’t have to pretend you’re not hungry,” she teased. “You know I always have a meal made.”As she said that, she reached to remove the white apron she had on when I first walked in.T

    Alexander It’s already annoying that she isn’t here yet. I’ve spent the past seven minutes reading, actually staring at the files on my table. The meeting is in about three minutes and she’s meant to be here. Her personal assistant is but she’s not and it just makes me wonder… was last night such

    Sophie By the time I pulled up in front of Eve’s school, my head was already pounding.The building was small and painted a cheerful yellow that felt aggressively optimistic for the kind of day I was having. Children’s laughter floated through the air as parents gathered near the gate, some crouc
