Want Me Back? Ask My Brothers First CH145: The Spoiled Brat
~LORETTE~Later that night, I begin the second round of my plan.Our matrimonial bedroom is quiet except for the soft sound of the air conditioner and the occasional shift of fabric against the sheets. Nate lies on one side of the bed, his breathing steady, while I deliberately make myself as difficult as possible.I toss and turn without restraint, sprawling across the mattress as if I am deep in restless sleep. My arm swings carelessly and lands against his side. A few minutes later, my leg stretches out and bumps into his. Each movement is intentional, though I keep my eyes closed and my breathing even enough to appear unconscious.Gradually, the space he is left with grows smaller and smaller.By the time the night deepens, Nate has been pushed so far toward the edge of the bed that there is barely enough room for him to remain on it. If he shifts even slightly, he risks falling straight onto the floor with a heavy thud. A faint flicker of guilt rises in my chest at the sight
Want Me Back? Ask My Brothers First CH144: What He Signed Up For
~LORETTE~The front doors of the Hawthorne mansion open as Nate and I step inside.“Welcome back, Mrs. Hawthorne.” A few of the house staff hurry forward at once, taking the bags from Michael’s hands and carefully carrying them upstairs. I had packed more than usual this time; enough clothes and personal items to last a full month. The thought of remaining under this roof for another thirty days sits heavily in the back of my mind, but I refuse to let it show on my face.I have already decided my mission, and it’s simple.No matter what Nate does, I will not allow any of it to reach me. I will make certain he grows tired of me so quickly that he will be the one eager to send me back to the Sterling estate long before the month is over.Earlier, while I was still packing in my room at the family estate, Ella had pulled me aside and given me a list of very specific tips. Act spoiled, act difficult, be as annoying and demanding as possible, and get under his skin until he can no longe
Want Me Back? Ask My Brothers First CH143: Ella’s Idea
~LORETTE~The moment those words leave Nate’s mouth, silence falls over the entire room.For a few seconds I cannot seem to draw a proper breath. The air feels heavier, thicker, as if every pair of eyes in the dining room has suddenly turned the space smaller. Nate’s request still echoes in my ears, too large and too unexpected to settle all at once.Then, slowly, he starts to move closer to me, stopping just in front of me, barely two feet away. When he speaks again, his voice is quieter, stripped of the usual cockiness I once associated with him.“I know I’ve messed up in the past,” he says. “I have no one to blame but myself. I was wrong about you, and allowed myself to be manipulated by other people, and in doing so, I hurt you more than I can ever fully make up for.”His eyes remain fixed on mine, and I can see the sadness and guilt in them so clearly. “But I want to make things right.” He continues, eyes turning slightly misty. “I love you, Lori. I love you so much that I cann

~LORETTE~The moment that reply leaves Nate’s lips, I freeze, his refusal landing in a way that I don’t expect.Something in my stomach dips with an odd sense of disappointment before I can stop it. But before I can bask in my sadness, he continues speaking, his voice calm and measured.“…unless Lori herself agrees to let me come over. I wouldn’t want to inconvenience her in any way.”The words settle differently this time my heart warming up again and giving a small, unexpected flutter. Hold on. So, he’s not rejecting the invitation outright. What he’s actually doing is placing the decision in my hands.Besides that, knowing how mischievous Nate can be, I’m pretty sure he’d replied negatively at first to see my reaction. Asshole.My brothers seem to interpret my momentary silence as hesitation, and Lucas is the first to speak, his tone gentle.“Lori, Mr. Hawthorne just saved this entire family from a serious problem. If that contract had been signed, the damage would have been enor
Want Me Back? Ask My Brothers First CH141: The Invitation
~LORETTE~Rutherford Clinton’s face drains of color as Hunter’s words settle over the boardroom. He begins to tremble visibly, yet still forces out another weak denial, despite being clearly caught.“This is all a misunderstanding… those documents are being twisted out of context. I would never—”Marcus does not let him finish. He calmly takes out his phone and places a short call.“Security. Boardroom. Now.”The moment the call ends, Clinton’s fear twists into total rage. His eyes lock onto Ethan with burning hatred.“You ungrateful bastard!” He snarls.Without warning and before any of us could see it coming, he suddenly lunges across the space toward his younger brother. In the sudden chaos, his arm swings out and shoves me hard to the side. The force catches me off guard, and my balance disappears at once. For a split second I am certain I am about to hit the floor, and I shut my eyes tight, already bracing for the impact.But the fall never comes, because suddenly, a pair of str

~LORETTE~The moment those words leave Nate’s mouth, the boardroom door opens once more.A young man steps inside with calm strides. The moment Rutherford Clinton’s eyes land on him, the color drains from his face. His pupils dilate sharply, and the uneasiness that spreads across his features is impossible to miss. For a second he looks as though he has seen a ghost.Nate does not waste time with formalities.“This,” he says clearly, gesturing toward the newcomer, “is Rutherford Clinton’s younger brother. He has something important to say.”Nate’s gaze shifts back to Clinton.“Just to confirm. Do you know this man?”Clinton’s mouth opens, but the words come out in a stutter before his temper suddenly flares.“What are you doing here?” he snaps at the man. “Have you gone so far as to partner with people who hate me now? You work hand in hand with people who would do anything to bring me down?”Lucas’s voice cuts through the rising tension, calm but undoubtedly firm.“Shut up and sit do

~LORETTE~ “I don’t think that’s possible, Michael.” Nate says into the phone, his voice low and uncertain. He keeps staring at me, as if expecting my face to betray the truth. I hold my breath, heart hammering hard in my chest. “I have the evidence here, sir…” Michael’s voice suddenly pauses. Th

~LORETTE~ Nate bursts into a short, dry, humorless laugh as he stares at me like I’ve completely lost my mind. “You? Divorce?” He shakes his head, amusement dripping from his voice. “I have to admit that this one is indeed creative, almost cute.” I just stare at him calmly. This time, there’s no

~LORETTE~ “No.” I whisper, my voice thick with tears as I search into the faces of the doctors, desperately hoping they are kidding. But their faces remain full of remorse and pity. They are not joking. “No, no, no. God, please no!” I break down completely, sobbing hard. My bandaged arm and leg
Want Me Back? Ask My Brothers First CH001: First Love
~LORETTE~ “Help me, please… my baby…” I choke out in my wrecked car, drenched in my blood, hoping somebody would hear me. But only cold silence greets me. I have just been involved in an accident on my way home from my prenatal checkup. One second, I was smiling like the most contented woman ali
