Lahat ng Kabanata ng Sleeping with My Brother's Bestfriend: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Juliet Diaz:-Jared was the perfect gentleman. At least, I said that to myself.But I should have been having a nice meal at an upscale five-star restaurant seated across from him, next to the candle-lit ambiance, the soft music, and him leaning in every time I spoke as if I were the most interesting person in the room.But my mind was elsewhere.On Nicholas. My thighs grabbed on his hands. His mouth is against my skin as he murmurs that I'm his.Jared was telling a story about a business deal. I clenched my hands in my lap, forcing a polite smile. I barely heard a word.He tilted his head, smiled smoothly, and asked: “Are you having fun?”“Yes, of course,” I lied.He moved his hand, grazing his fingers over my hand. “I’m glad. “I wanted tonight to be special,” I nodded, pulling my hand away slightly to raise my finger to grab my wine glass. “It’s been lovely.”He chuckled only slightly as his gaze darkened. “There I have to admit I was surprised you agreed to this date.” I would hav

Juliet Diaz:-We remained tightly entwined after Nicholas's heat left my skin. Our breathing remained heavy, and our hearts beat at the same rhythm. My hand created slow circles on his exposed chest, and the heat in his skin felt through my fingers.A husky tone colored his voice as he pressed a gentle kissing motion onto my lips. “Come on a date with me.”I stared at him with an expression full of astonishment. “A date?”He smirked. “Yes, Juliet. A proper date. I wish to cherish you through an unforgettable date while introducing you to everyone as my ultimate love.My cheeks turned pink, but I expressed my agreement with a friendly expression. “I’d love that.”He kissed me again with increasing depth just as his phone started vibrating on the nightstand. His hands reached for the device when a call was displayed on the screen of his phone, and his expression instantly changed.His exhaustion caused him to sit up while he muttered, "I have to take this call."His facial expression sh

Juliet Diaz:-"Nick, is everything alright? You look lost and worried," I asked Nicholas as I placed my hand on his at the dining table when we were having dinner. Zach was out to run some errands before he left for another mission. I was feeling sad that I got to spend very little time with my brother, but I knew how much his duty meant to him. Zach lives to protect the country."Jules, I don't think I can do this anymore," Nicholas murmurs, suddenly making me gasp and my heart sink."Wh...What do you mean by that, Nick? Is everything alright? Did I do something wrong?" I asked, worried. Tears are already forming in my eyes."No, I don't mean it in that way. I can't keep on lying to Zach. I can't keep our relationship hidden from him. He is my best friend, Jules, and your brother. He deserves to know the truth. I already feel guilty for lying to him the other day at the hospital." Nicholas groans, running his hand over his face. "Gosh, I feel like the worst friend over here.""Wh...W

Juliet Diaz:-I stood in front of the mirror, admiring the Dior dress Nicholas had gifted me yesterday, with a smile on my face. I was all dolled up and ready for our first date, just waiting for Nicholas to return from his shift. He would have been here, but an emergency surgery arrived at the last minute, which is why he was running a little late.Zach has already left for his mission. This morning's goodbye was too painful—it always is—because, as a soldier, I don't know if he will return alive or dead. The next time Zach returns, Nicholas and I will come clean and confess everything to him.I hate lying to him, just like Nicholas, but I am more scared of hurting him by breaking his heart and his trust. He is the only family I have, the brother who devoted all his life to raising me and making me the woman I am today. He is the best brother in the world, and Nicholas is the best man for me. "Damn, you look fucking hot. Like a bombshell." I heard Nicholas speak from the doorway and

Nicholas Carrington:-I stood there, watching the woman I loved fall before me. The silence broke as her sobs tore, driven by a knife through the silence, and Juliet fell to her knees. She cried and covered her face with her hands, shoulders shaking violently as she gasped for air.This broke me; I had never been broken before like this, but seeing her like this broke me, and the fear of losing my only friend broke me. It gutted me.I ran a hand through my hair and exhaled sharply before kneeling in front of her. As I reached for her, I spoke to her and murmured, “Jules.” At first, she flinched, her body trembling, but when my arms came around her, and she did not struggle, she collapsed against me, her face buried in the hollow of my chest. Her whole body was shaking with uncontrollable sobs, and her fingers clutched at my shirt as if she thought I would disappear. And she choked, “I ruined everything. I lost him, Nick. I lost my brother and now....now...he—he hates me. My broth
