Return of the Heiress: I married my ex-husband's brother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

"Mrs. Elliot, Sir is currently in a meeting and cannot take calls," said the secretary in a chilly voice.Before Elena could respond, the person on the other end hung up.Elena stared at her phone's blank screen and felt a sharp, throbbing pain run through her body.Important meeting - two words that shattered the thin veil of hope she had left.The cold evening air bit at her cheeks and tears welled in her eyes.When Andrew informed her earlier that he was running late for the dinner, Elena did not take it to heart.Andrew's work always took precedence.During their five years of relationship, she had always been accommodating and never been an unreasonable person.But tonight was their anniversary, and she hoped that for once, he would put their love before his demanding career.But alas...Elena stubbornly waited for him even though she knew he wouldn't show up.Because part of her still hoped he would not abandon her.The minutes seemed to last forever.Three hours had passed with

Chloe wanted to force Elena into a corner.However, if the latter was disobedient, then she didn’t mind using a crooked approach.Hearing Chloe’s words, Andrew’s eyes lit up.Initially, he had been racking his brains, thinking about how to clean up the mess, but Chloe’s suggestion enlightened him.That’s right. As long as Elena turned a blind eye to his affairs, everything would be fine!Sure enough, hooking up with Chloe was the best decision. She always prioritized him first and never caused him any inconvenience.“Serve him together? Are you trying to disgust me to death?” Elena was so repulsed by her words she wanted to throw up. “I never knew you could stoop so low. What makes you think that after everything, I’d still want this trash?”Elena’s words stung Andrew, and he immediately leaped to his defense. “Who do you think you’re calling trash?”“Still asking?” Elena glared at him fiercely.“Andrew, please, calm down,” Chloe urged, her voice laced with concern. “Elena is angry ri

“Even if you do, it’ll be my honor.”The man paused, taken aback by her boldness.Then a low chuckle resounded in the space.“What a sweet mouth,” he said in amusement. “Is your mouth really that sweet, or…”“Why don’t you find out?” Elena interrupted him.“I want to, but I’m afraid.”“Afraid?”The man’s expression remained impassive, but there was a flicker in his eyes. “I’m afraid that once I taste it, I’ll become addicted,” he confessed.Straightening her body, Elena took a step closer and pressed her soft lips against the corners of his mouth. “For a drug, there’s always an antidote.”The man did not allow her to pull away.Without a word, his lips crashed down on hers in a fierce and hungry kiss.Holding the back of her head, the man couldn’t help but suck on her tongue greedily, savoring the taste of lingering alcohol on her breath.It was a feeling he had never experienced before, one that ignited a fire within him.Elena melted into the kiss, her body responding to his touch w

“I was just trying to be considerate, Lucas,” Samantha said embarrassedly. “I’m concerned about you just as I would for my children.”“Did I ask for your concern?” Lucas shot back. “Besides, I’m afraid that the woman you chose will be as cheap as you.”Elena silently gave Lucas a thumbs-up.For too long, Samantha had been strutting around like a proud peacock, exerting control over the lives of those around her.And as her daughter-in-law, Elena had the worst.But she never expected Lucas to humble her with just a sentence.Tears immediately brimmed in Samantha’s eyes as she appeared to be hurt by his words.“I know that you don’t like us and think that I’ve caused your parent’s separation but I never meant any of this to happen,” she protested weakly. “And I may not be your biological mother, but I have always considered you like my own.”“Do you think you’re worthy?”“Watch your words, Lucas. This is not how you speak to your mother,” Thomas cleared his throat in a warning.“I’m sor

Knox’s shoulders relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.After witnessing their boss’ interactions with that woman, they were afraid that the former might’ve taken a liking to her.But as quickly as the thought entered their mind, they dismissed it.Their boss was famous for being ascetic, and last night’s events were probably his testosterone bursting out for a breather.“In that case, I’ll inform the hotel manager that you’ll be going over,” Knox informed.Lucas raised a brow. “For what?”Knox felt a pang of confusion.Every time they visited Auburn Hills, his boss would always stay at the hotel.So why was he still asking?Lucas sensed his confusion and replied. “This is my house. Why should I stay in a hotel when I have my room here?”Knox’s mouth twitched, and he was rendered speechless.———Elena’s heels clicked against the pavement as she emerged from the lawyer’s office.The late afternoon sun cast long shadows, mirroring the desolation that enveloped her.After careful con
