ATTORNEY OF LUCAS COLE

Scarlet

"Thank you," I whispered against his chest. "For this. For understanding how scared he's going to be. For caring about his comfort even though you don't have to."

"Scarlet—"

But before he could finish whatever he was going to say, my phone rang.

The sound shattered the moment. I pulled away from Damian, fumbling for my phone in the pocket of my borrowed shirt.

Unknown number.

My stomach dropped. Unknown numbers never meant good news.

"Hello?" I answered, my voice

  • Under the Mistletoe with my Ex's Brother    WE WON

    Damian's Pov Scarlet had read it while standing in the kitchen, her face cycling through emotions I couldn't quite identify, and then she'd handed it to me without comment.The letter was surprisingly articulate for someone whose previous communications had mostly consisted of drunk texts and rambling voicemails. Savannah wrote about being two years sober, about working as an addiction counselor helping other people avoid the mistakes she'd made, about being engaged to a man she'd met in AA who understood her history and loved her anyway.She wrote about wanting to apologize in person if Scarlet would allow it, about not expecting forgiveness but needing to make amends as part of her recovery program, about understanding if Scarlet wanted nothing to do with her but hoping for a chance to explain herself."Are you going to respond?" I'd asked after reading it twice."I don't know. Part of me wants to tell her to go to hell. But I don't know... maybe a part of me is curious about wheth

  • Under the Mistletoe with my Ex's Brother    THE LETTER PART 1

    Damian's POVElena took her first steps on a Tuesday morning while I was trying to get Jace ready for school and answer emails on my phone simultaneously, and I almost missed it because chaos had become such a fundamental part of our existence that witnessing developmental milestones required actually paying attention instead of operating on autopilot."Damian, look!"Scarlet's voice cut through my distraction and I glanced up from my phone just in time to see Elena let go of the coffee table she'd been using for support and take three wobbling steps toward her mother before collapsing onto her diapered bottom with a look of pure triumph on her face."Did she just—""She walked! Elena just walked!"Ethan, never one to be outdone by his sister even if he was more methodical about achieving things, pulled himself up on the couch and carefully placed one foot in front of the other, taking five solid steps before sitting down deliberately like he'd been planning this all along and was sim

  • Under the Mistletoe with my Ex's Brother    WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

    Scarlet's POV "The Matsuda Corporation deal closed today. Six months ago they wouldn't return my calls because of the SEC investigation, and today they signed a fifty million dollar contract.""That's amazing. I'm so proud of you.""It's not back to where we were before Lucas started his campaign, but it's progress. Another year and we might actually recover fully."Eleanor had bought a two-bedroom condo about fifteen minutes away, close enough to help with the babies whenever we needed but far enough that we all had our own space. She came over most days, usually bringing groceries or picking up things we needed, and had seamlessly integrated herself into our lives in ways that would have seemed impossible six months ago.Damian's relationship with her was still complicated, still healing from fifteen years of abandonment, but they were building something that resembled a mother-son relationship even if it wasn't the easy unconditional bond it might have been if she'd never left."I

  • Under the Mistletoe with my Ex's Brother    DID YOU MISS MOMMY?

    Scarlet's POVElena was screaming at four in the morning because of course she was, her tiny furious voice cutting through the baby monitor and pulling me out of the first deep sleep I'd managed in weeks, and when I stumbled into the nursery I found Ethan still peacefully asleep in his crib completely unbothered by his sister's rage."You have your father's temperament," I told Elena as I lifted her from the crib, her face red and scrunched with indignation at whatever injustice had woken her—hunger or a wet diaper or just the general unfairness of being six months old. "Calm and patient while your sister loses her mind over nothing."She latched onto the bottle I'd prepared, her small hands gripping my fingers like she was afraid I might take it away before she was finished. Ethan would sip peacefully, take breaks to look around the room, sometimes fall asleep mid-feeding. Elena attacked every bottle like it was a personal challenge she was determined to win."Your brother got your f

    Scarlet's Pov I sighed heavily. "Look... all I'm saying his harassment caused stress that contributed to my pregnancy complications, yes.""Harassment,"he scoffed. "That's a strong word. Isn't it possible that my client was simply a desperate father trying to protect his son from what he genuinely believed was an unstable household?"Katherine was on her feet."Objection. Calls for speculation.""Sustained. Move on, Mr. Hastings."He shifted tactics."Ms. Cole, you married Damian Cole very quickly after divorcing Lucas, didn't you?""We'd known each other for years through family connections. But yes, our relationship developed quickly.""Some might say suspiciously quickly. Almost like the relationship existed before your divorce was finalized.""Objection! Relevance?""Your Honor, I'm establishing that Ms. Cole's actions may have contributed to my client's emotional state.""I'll allow it but make your point quickly, counselor."Hastings turned back to me."Did you have a romantic

  • Under the Mistletoe with my Ex's Brother    HE'S MY EX-HUSBAND

    Scarlet's POVI'd been awake since three in the morning trying to decide what to wear to testify against the father of my child, which felt absurd because what did clothing matter when you were about to sit in a courtroom and describe how someone you'd once loved had hired a man to kill you and your unborn babies.Damian found me standing in our closet at five AM holding two different blouses like the choice between navy and gray was the most important decision I'd ever make."Scarlet, you need to sleep. The trial doesn't start until nine.""I can't sleep. Every time I close my eyes I see that man with the knife standing over me."He took the blouses from my hands and hung them back up, then pulled me against his chest in a way that made me realize I was shaking."You don't have to do this. The prosecutor said your testimony would help but they have enough evidence without it. You can stay home with the babies and let them handle it.""And then what? Lucas gets convicted without me ha

Close enough that I could count his eyelashes if I wanted to, I could see the faint scar above his left eyebrow that I'd never noticed before."The point is that this is moving too fast," I whispered."We just s
