REVA

There was the slightest pause as Danielle tilted her head, the corner of her mouth lifting after I asked her if she was also a family member before she answered.

“Yes,” she said. “You could say that.” I frowned faintly, wondering what that meant because she was either family or she wasn’t. It wasn’t a difficult question. But I didn’t push, and something about her earlier stare still lingered under my skin even as she seemed friendly.

Her gaze sharpened, the weird smile that didn’t reach h

  • Under the Mistletoe: He Chose My Brother    CHAPTER 69: BAD TIMING

    LEVI I stood there long after the car carrying Reva had vanished down the road and the engine noise had subsided. My gaze remained fixed on the empty stretch of road, as if she would reappear if I waited long enough. What the hell did I do? The question ran through my mind repeatedly as I admitted that telling her how I felt had ruined everything. The first woman I fell in love with after a long time did not want me. A bitter chuckle shook my chest as I ran my hand through my hair and exhaled slowly. Perhaps I should've waited. She had already gone through so much, and her divorce hadn't even been finalized. Perhaps I pushed her into a situation she wasn't prepared to face. I reasoned again, staring down the road. But deep down, I knew it wasn't entirely true because I could see in her eyes that she had fallen for me as well. Or had I been mistaken? A quiet voice inside my head rose, saying I hadn't been mistaken. It stated that she did not reject me because she didn't feel the s

  • Under the Mistletoe: He Chose My Brother    CHAPTER 68: Déjà vu

    REVALevi took a step closer to me, his eyes searching my face as if he were looking for something deep within me, and my lips trembled. “Please be mine," he said, his voice softening but still raw, and my heart skipped hard. “I want you to be mine.” Silent tears rolled down my cheeks before I realized I was crying, and I couldn't even wipe them away. Half of me, the fragile, optimistic part of me who still believed in happy endings and knights in shining armor, wanted to say yes.That part of me wanted to step forward, wrap my arms around him, and believe everything he had just said because, just hours before, I would have given anything to hear these words.However, they no longer provided any comfort or reassurance. If anything, they hurt because they came too late. My vision blurred as another tear slipped down my cheek, and I blinked, my gaze returning to him.I've been here before. I knew what it was like to give your heart to someone while they were still entangled with someon

  • Under the Mistletoe: He Chose My Brother    CHAPTER 67: FEELINGS

    REVANothing made sense after I opened my eyes. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar, with pale light filtering through curtains I couldn't remember closing. My mind felt thick, as if it were moving through fog, and I lay there blinking slowly as the world tried to come into focus. Where was I? The question was quickly interrupted by memories that hurtled back—the party, drinks, countdown, Levi, and then Danielle. I recalled how she kissed Levi and shoved me so hard that I tumbled.Oh my God. Mortification burned through me. But I didn't have time to process it because my stomach twisted violently in the next breath. A sudden wave of nausea hit me so hard that I bolted upright, the room spinning around me. Panic rushed through my chest as I kicked the covers off and stumbled out of bed.“Shit—"My stomach lurched as I looked around frantically, attempting to locate the bathroom. I clapped my hand over my mouth, my gaze darting across the room until I spotted a door, which I dashed th

  • Under the Mistletoe: He Chose My Brother    CHAPTER 66: DISTORTION AND PANIC

    LEVI The sound began softly, as a faint sniffling in my sleep. I thought I was dreaming, and the noise blended in with the fog in my mind. But then it came again, sharper this time, and my eyes flew open. Sunlight filtered through sheer curtains, pale gold and intrusive, and for a brief moment, my mind was blank, somewhere between sleep and awareness. My eyes landed on the ceiling above, but it was also unfamiliar, and I blinked, panic beginning to set in. Where am I? The question hit hard, but then the sniffles returned. And this time, I turned toward the sound before I could answer the question in my head and saw Danielle. She sat beside me, crying, and my brow furrowed in confusion as my vision adjusted some more to the light. “What...?" I began to ask, but realization dawned with a sickening intensity right at that moment—we were naked. I shot up so quickly that the room tipped sideways—and, as if triggered by the movement, fragments of the night came crashing back. Howeve

  • Under the Mistletoe: He Chose My Brother    CHAPTER 65: FALLING THROUGH DARKNESS

    THIRD-PARTY VIEWLevi stumbled into the room where Reva was still sleeping, the dim light from the window spilling across the floor. He had no idea what time it was, and even though he was completely inebriated, sleep seemed impossible. For the past several hours, he and Danielle had been caught up in a whirlwind of reminiscing, recalling memories from years ago and reliving emotions he hadn't allowed himself to feel.Reva lay beneath the blankets, and Levi stumbled to the bed, the floor tilting beneath him as he carefully sat next to her. He brushed the hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear.She was beautiful and appeared to be at peace. Levi's mind wandered back to their conversation at the villa, the way her eyes had held his, how she had unintentionally confessed pieces of herself, and his chest tightened.She was falling for him. He saw it in everything she did, and he was falling for her too. He should confess and put both of them out of their misery, as she had hoped

  • Under the Mistletoe: He Chose My Brother    CHAPTER 64: TRIGGERED

    LEVII carried Reva into the bedroom and carefully laid her down, tucking the blankets in. She was out, and I had just been minutes away from being in the same situation, but seeing her fall like that, shoved aside by Danielle, had instantly sobered me up.I was still looking at her, checking for bruises, when the door behind me flew open, and my mother and sister rushed inside, concern on their faces.“Is she okay?" my mother asked quickly, her gaze darting between Reva and me. "She's fine," I said, my voice clipped, as I walked past them and toward the door, too enraged to say anything else.They noticed this, and both moved to block me. My mother said, “Levi, calm down," just as I was about to ask what they were doing. “She didn't mean for what happened," my sister added softly, but I snapped, unable to contain my annoyance at their excuses. How the fuck did they know what she meant and didn't? Had they put her up to what she did? I asked them that, and they said of course not. “
