The wrong brother. Chapter 40
Lauren's povI was ready by six on the dot.Not because I wanted to impress anyone, but because the note in the box had unsettled me more than I wanted to admit it.The note had said, ‘Leave the office on time, prepare for dinner by six.’Like I had said, there was no name, no explanation, just the quiet uncertainty that had appeared out of the blue.When I stepped outside, the car was already waiting at the front of the house, sleek,black and polished to perfection.The engine purred softly, like a patient dog, like I had all the time in the world.The moment the maids saw me, they paused what they were doing as I walked down the stairs.“Madam, you look really beautiful,”One of them said as her eyes lingered still on my dress.“Thank you” I murmured, smiling as I kept walking, my heart thudded harder with every step. The fabric hugged me in a way that felt really familair– Vivian and Greece, this wasn't work Lauren and neither was I the wife lauren. I was me… Just me.When I got to
The wrong brother. Chapter 39
Lauren's pov, The call was from Vivian, the moment I saw the call icon I slowly let out a brief sigh of relief.The silence that lingered in the air after Ezekiel left the room stayed with me longer than I had expected.I stood there with my phone pressed to my ear, I was barely Listening to the word vVivian Was trying to say. My heart was still racing and now my palms felt slightly damp, my thoughts began to tangle in a way that annoyed me, like nothing good had happened, instead, I kept telling myself that nothing happened, but the way my body had reacted betrayed me.I could swear that if Vivian’s call didn't go through it would have become another story entirely.‘Get yourself together, Lauren.’ I muttered.I finally found my ring minutes later beside the lamp and I slipped it back on, I stood there staring good at it longer than necessary. It actually now felt heavier than usual, like it was reminding me of something I had already forgotten.The next morning, I woke up early onl

Ezra's pov,The knock that came was sharp and sudden.“Come in,” I said, already seated, holding my breath.The door opened, and my client walked in, with a polite smile and with a briefcase. I didn't bother to move because I was getting yanked from below.“Mr. Hawthorns,” I said smoothly. “It's good to see you, please have a seat.” I said, pointing at the chair right in front of me.Beneath the desk my dick was getting pumped vigorously as I could feel his tongue hover around the tip of the cap.I smiled trying to arrange my reaction and the numbers followed almost immediately. My voice was already tense as sweat broke over my forehead despite the cold temperature of the room.My sentences became tighter. As my spine remained upright, one of my hands gripped on the edge of the desk so hard I could feel my jitters rising.I guess my client noticed as a smile sprawled across his face.“I have reviewed the proposal,” He said, flipping open his folder. “I think we can move forward provid
The wrong brother. Chapter 37
Lauren's PovThe lunch date had gone better than I expected, better than it should have, actually..I had no idea how tense I'd been until Ezekiel sat across from me, his tie was loosened slightly and now he spoke to me like I wasn't a liability or someone's wife but a person who mattered.The conversation flowed easily without alcohol and no awkward pauses, zero office politics and for once, I laughed without forcing it, I ate without staring at the clock— I could finally breathe.By the time we returned back to the office, I was already settled, I promised myself then– slightly and firmly that I wasn't going to allow anyone ruin my mood anymore, not the stare, nor the awkwardness that had just disguised itself like an apology.It's been two days since I started working under Ezekiel, yet it felt longer. In that short time, I had learned a lot more than what I had in mind. Ezekiel didn't hover and he didn't even try any means to belittle me. He challenged me, corrected me without hum
The wrong brother. Chapter 36
Lauren's pov,I smiled calmly at Elaine even though it stung on my lips and skin, but still my breath pulsed beneath the fabric of my blouse.“I'm sorry– did you just say something?” I asked softly, feigning ignorance to the statement she had just said earlier, I even tilted my head genuinely like I didn't hear shit.She blinked, clearly startled that I had not reacted the way she had expected me to. Her lips curved slowly into a sweet smile— too sweet.“I only asked if it hurt,” she said, clasping her hands together. “I'm so sorry. It was my mistake, I should have been way more careful.” She said sarcastically.“Careful…” I whispered.I allowed the word to seat between us and then just smiled again, this time slow and composed.“Yes,” she said lightly. “A little tilt can turn a princess into an ugly duckling, so I think the word careful was the right choice.”Without another glance I turned and walked back into the boardroom. The room now fell quiet the moment I walked in, the chairs
The wrong brother. Chapter 35
Lauren's pov,Walking alongside with Ezekiel felt cheeky but strange, not in a bad way but unlikely unfamiliar, like I was stepping into a place that I was once familiar with and now it felt borrowed. The building stood tall as the glasses reflected the morning sun, and after gathering myself out of the car, I tried to steady myself as hisfhand slid across my waist.This was my first real day here, not as Ezra’s wife who turned in the dark, but now I was expected to work, to think and to matter.Ezekiel had made me even more confident in my look than before and now we were walking into his office side by side. The eyes on me were not quiet to go unnoticed, I straightened my face and kept a calm expression even though my heart was beating ten times its rate, I was too afraid to admit.The moment we both got into his office, the door was shut behind and clearly I could see the workers go across their daily duty except from the eyes that haunted me— I guess she had no idea that the glass
