~AVA~

As I call Nate for what could be the hundredth time, my chest tight with small hope, the call connects for only a second before it goes straight to voicemail again.

I stare at the screen in disbelief, my grip tightening until my knuckles turn white. Then the frustration boiling inside me finally snaps.

“Damn it!”

I scream and fling the phone across the room with full force. It smashes into a framed picture on the wall. Both the frame and the phone crash to the floor in a messy scatter of

  • 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

  • Want Me Back? Ask My Brothers First   CH140: Exposing the Rutherfords 2

    ~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~The tension in the boardroom thickens the moment Nate finishes speaking, and Lucas is the first to break the silence. “What exactly do you mean by that?” He asks, clearly trying to keep his tone controlled and low even though it’s clear he isn’t pleased by the interruption. Hunter’s brows draw together as he fires at Nate too. “You need to explain yourself clearly.”Nate steps closer to the long conference table, his gaze fixed on the open contract in front of Lucas.“May I see the document you’re about to sign?”Lucas does not immediately hand it over. His fingers remain firm on the edge of the papers, reluctance clear in his posture.Before anyone else can speak, Rutherford Clinton rises slightly from his seat, his expression tightening with offense.“This is highly disrespectful and unethical,” he says sharply, voice raised. “Mr. Hawthorne is only acting out of jealousy because the deal with his own company did not go through. Now he wants to sabotage a legitimate arra

  • Want Me Back? Ask My Brothers First   CH138: To Catch A Thief

    ~LORETTE~For the next several days, I make a deliberate effort to keep a careful distance between Nate and myself.What happened in the bathroom cannot be allowed to repeat itself. So, I limit every unnecessary moment of physical closeness. Instead of staying too near him for long periods, I focus on the practical things like working with the house staff to prepare his meals, cooking the healing soups recommended for his recovery, and making sure he takes his medicine at the proper times. When he needs help moving around the house, I assist him, then quietly return to my own bedroom until I am needed again.To my relief, Nate improves steadily with each passing day. The color returns to his face, his movements grow stronger, and the sharp edge of worry I have been carrying begins to ease. The faster he recovers, the sooner I will be able to return to the Sterling estate.This morning, the two of us are seated at the dining table having breakfast when I set my cup down and finally

  • Want Me Back? Ask My Brothers First   CH137: A Temptation Called Nate Hawthorne

    ~LORETTE~Nate’s arms tighten around me from behind, pulling my back firmly against his body, the sudden closeness stealing the breath from my lungs. Every solid line of him presses against me through the warm water; the firm plane of his chest, the strength in his arms, and then something else entirely. Something… hard and unmistakably long rests against the lower curve of my back.My eyes fly wide open in realization of what that is.Simultaneously, heat explodes across my face so intensely it feels volcanic. Worse still is the traitorous warmth that begins to pool low in my stomach, spreading downward in a way I desperately wish I could ignore.“Let go,” I say quickly, trying to ease myself out of his hold without jostling the bandages at his side. “Nate—”His arms only secure me more firmly. He rests his head against the curve of my shoulder, his breath warm against my skin as he speaks in a low, soft voice.“You have no idea how badly I’ve missed having you around this house,”

  • Want Me Back? Ask My Brothers First   CH136: Regretting Her Decision

    ~LORETTE~My eyes widen the moment the words leave his mouth, heat rushing to my face so quickly to my face that I almost lose my grip on him. For a second my hands slip against his arm, and I have to catch myself before I let go completely. Nate notices immediately. That slight, amused smirk remains on his lips as he looks down at me.“Why are you looking at me like you’ve just seen a ghost?” He asks with that mischievous calmness in his tone.I straighten as best as I can and force my expression into something closer to composure.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I reply quickly. “If you’re not going to be serious, we should just go back to your room so you can rest.”The smirk fades into something more pitiful. He leans a little more of his weight against me, his voice softening.“So you don’t care about me at all?” he asks. “I haven’t had a proper bath all day. Is this how you want me to remain?”I open my mouth, then close it again.Argh! Clearly, there is no clean way

    ~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~ “A divorce agreement?” Lucas’s frown deepens, as if I had just spoken in a foreign language. “What do you need that for?” The moment the words leave his mouth, regret hits me like a tornado. Instant shame washes over me, and I mentally slap myself for being so careless. Stupid. Stupid,

    ~LORETTE~ “Hospital?” Lucas’s voice immediately fills with heavy worry. “What happened? Are you okay, Lori?” “I got into an accident,” I reply quietly, not having the energy to explain more. We’re not close enough for that. “Oh God, Lori…” The panic in his voice grows. “Were you badly injured? Pl
