บททั้งหมดของ BETRAYED BY MY HUSBAND, I FELL FOR HIS BILLIONAIRE BROTHER : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

I stood in front of my event planning business, looking at the sign that read "Lexi's Events". I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing that I had built this business from the ground up.But as I looked at the sign, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness. This business had been my passion, my escape from the troubles of my marriage. But now, with Ryan's infidelity and embezzlement, I wasn't sure if I could keep it going.I took a deep breath and pushed open the door. Inside, my employees were busy preparing for an upcoming wedding. They looked up at me with smiles, and I forced myself to smile back."Hey, guys," I said. "How's it going?"They all nodded and told me about their progress. I listened, trying to focus on the task at hand. But my mind kept wandering back to Ryan and what he had done.As the day went on, I found myself struggling to keep up. I was distracted and disorganized, and my employees started to notice."Lexi, is everything okay?" one of them asked m

Ethan's eyes sparkled as he smiled at me, his face relaxed and content. We were sitting on a bench in the garden, enjoying the warm sunshine and each other's company. "I'm so glad we met, Lexi," Ethan said, taking my hand in his. "You've brought so much joy into my life." I smiled, feeling a sense of happiness and connection to him. "I feel the same way about you, Ethan," I said. Ethan's eyes clouded for a moment, and I sensed a hint of sadness in his voice. "I've been alone for a long time, Lexi," he said. "After my parents died, I felt lost and alone. I threw myself into my work, trying to fill the void in my life." I listened intently, my heart going out to him. I had never heard Ethan talk about his past before, and I was fascinated by the glimpse into his life. "But despite all my success, I still felt empty inside," Ethan continued. "I felt like something was missing, like I was just going through the motions of life." I squeezed his hand, trying to offer what little comfo

I got ready for my dinner date with Ethan, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. We had been growing closer over the past few weeks, and I couldn't help but wonder what the future held for us. I put on a red dress that accentuated my curves, and paired it with some heels and a statement necklace. I felt confident and beautiful as I looked in the mirror. Ethan arrived promptly at 7 pm, looking dashing in a black suit and tie. He smiled when he saw me, and his eyes crinkled at the corners. "You look stunning, Lexi," he said, his voice low and husky. I blushed, feeling a sense of pleasure at his compliment. "Thank you, Ethan," I replied. "You look pretty great yourself." Ethan smiled and offered me his arm. "Shall we?" he asked. I took his arm, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation. We walked out of my apartment and into the night, ready to face whatever lay ahead. We went to a fancy restaurant in the city, where we were treated to a exquisite meal and fine wine. E

I felt a sense of pleasure and desire, my body responding to his touch. Ethan's eyes locked onto mine, and I saw a flash of passion and desire. "I want you, Lexi," he whispered, his breath hot against my skin. I nodded, feeling a sense of desire and passion. I knew that I wanted this, that I wanted to be with Ethan. Ethan smiled, his eyes sparkling with amusement. He leaned in, his lips brushing against mine. I felt a surge of excitement and pleasure as we kissed. Our lips moved in perfect sync, our bodies pressed together. I felt a sense of passion and desire, my body responding to Ethan's touch. As we kissed, Ethan's hands continued to roam over my body. He touched and caressed me, sending shivers down my spine. I gasped, feeling a sense of wonder and admiration. Ethan's touch wa

Lexi's POVThe courthouse steps were crowded with reporters.Camera flashes lit up the gray morning sky as police officers escorted a line of suspects through the front entrance.I tightened my grip on the coffee cup in my hand, trying to ignore the knot twisting inside my stomach.Ryan's arrest had dominated every news channel for the past twenty-four hours.To the rest of the world, justice had finally caught up with him.But something about it didn't feel right.My phone vibrated.Ethan"Don't come to the courthouse."I frowned.Too late.I was already standing across the street.I quickly typed a reply."Why?"The three dots appeared almost instantly before disappearing again.No answer.A black SUV pulled up to the curb.Two men stepped out.They weren't journalists.They weren't police officers either.Both wore expensive charcoal suits and identical silver lapel pins shaped like a falcon.One of them looked directly at me.Not through me.At me.He said something into the tiny
