JOSH AT HOMEAaron dragged Josh into the house with a firm grip on his wrist. The moment they stepped inside, the atmosphere felt heavy, suffocating even. The grand living room was dimly lit, the air thick with tension. Clara, Aaron’s fiancée, sat on the couch with a fake, sweet smile plastered on her face, and beside her was his grandmother-the woman Josh never really liked.Josh crossed his arms, glaring up at his father. “I told you I wanted to stay at Uncle Alex’s,” he muttered under his breath.Aaron shot him a sharp look. “You are my son, and this is your home. You will stay here.”Josh bit his tongue, knowing that arguing would only make things worse. Instead, he shifted his gaze to the floor, trying to push away the anger bubbling inside him.Aaron sighed and walked toward the bar, pouring himself a drink. He took a slow sip before turning back to Josh. “Tomorrow is my wedding day, and I expect you to be on your best behavior.”Josh didn’t respond, his small fingers tightening

CHAPTER — A NEW STRATEGY(Mira’s POV)I tapped my fingers against the table, my mind running through every possible scenario. The more I thought about Alex’s plan—the dramatic entrance, the accusations, the confrontation—the more I realized it wasn’t the right move. It was too direct, too reckless. Aaron wasn’t just any man. He was calculated, manipulative. If I came in screaming, exposing him in front of everyone, he would find a way to turn it against me. He always did.No, I needed to be smarter than that.“I don’t think we should do it that way,” I said suddenly, breaking the silence.Alex raised a brow. “What do you mean?”I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts. “If I walk in and start throwing accusations, he’ll immediately be on high alert. Everyone will. They’ll see me as a threat, and they’ll do everything to discredit me, to push me away again. I can’t afford that.”He folded his arms, listening. “So what’s the alternative?”I leaned forward. “I make an entrance, yes, b

CHAPTER – BROTHERS AT WARAlex stepped into the venue, his sharp eyes scanning the lavishly decorated garden. The event was grand, filled with influential guests, reporters, and business associates. Everything screamed wealth and power, but to Alex, it all felt forced—like Aaron was trying too hard to prove something.Before Alex could take another step, a small figure dashed toward him.“Uncle Alex!” Josh’s voice was filled with excitement as he wrapped his arms around Alex’s waist.Alex bent down slightly, ruffling the boy’s hair. “Hey, buddy. How are you holding up?”Josh sighed dramatically. “It’s boring. Everyone’s just talking about the wedding. And Dad keeps telling me how I have to behave.”Alex smirked. “Sounds like him.”Before Josh could respond, a familiar voice interrupted them.“Well, well, look who finally decided to show up.”Alex straightened up to see Aaron approaching, a smug grin plastered on his face.“Enjoying the party, Alex?” Aaron’s voice dripped with sarcasm.

CHAPTER – THE AFTERMATHMira held Josh’s hand tightly as they walked out of the wedding hall, stepping past the stunned crowd and the flashing cameras. The boy was still buzzing with excitement, grinning from ear to ear as he looked up at his mother.“Mom, that was so cool!” he laughed. “The way you drove in, the way everyone looked at you, and then Dad just—boom! He fainted!” Josh burst into giggles.Mira chuckled, squeezing his hand. “Yeah, baby, it was quite the entrance, huh?” she said, guiding him toward Alex’s car, which was waiting outside. “But we’re done here for now. Let’s go home, okay?”Josh nodded, happily getting into the car. Mira slid in beside him, feeling the adrenaline slowly leaving her body. She leaned her head against the seat, closing her eyes for a second. Everything had gone exactly as planned. But this was just the beginning.As the car pulled away, the chaos inside the wedding hall continued.Meanwhile, Aaron was being rushed to the hospital. His mother, Oli

Chapter: A Gift for AaronI sat across from Alex, still trying to process everything that had just happened. I was rich. Not just comfortable, but wealthy beyond what I had imagined. My parents had left me everything, securing my future and Josh’s. For the first time in a long while, I wasn’t powerless.The first thing that came to my mind was how much Alex had done for me. He saved me, gave me a home, took care of Josh, and even helped me get back on my feet.I turned to him. “Alex, how much did my hospital bills cost?”He raised an eyebrow, leaning back in his chair. “Why?”“I want to pay you back.”That’s when he burst into laughter. A full, deep laugh that made me frown.“What’s funny?” I asked, crossing my arms.“Mira, you don’t have to pay me back,” he said, still grinning.I narrowed my eyes. “I don’t want you to feel like you carried me out of pity.”His smirk grew. “Pity? No, let’s just say I have some old games with Aaron that still need to be played.”That piqued my interes
