Semua Bab DIVORCED, BUT SPOILED BY MY FIVE BROTHERS : Bab 71 - Bab 80

Kyle’s Point of ViewThe look on Flora’s face when I asked the question told me everything.She was surprised—no, stunned.Good. She needed to be.She needed to understand I wasn’t playing anymore.I only wanted to protect her. To stop history from repeating itself.Because I’d seen what Rowan Thayer was capable of.I’d seen what he’d done to Janet.And I would die before letting another sister fall into the same trap.“He’s a good friend, Kyle,” Flora said finally, her voice defensive, trembling at the edges. “I don’t know why you’re making this an issue.”I softened my tone, just a little. I didn’t want to hurt her. Flora wasn’t my real sister—but she had been mine in every way that mattered.I’d raised her. Guided her. Protected her.And right now, protecting her meant telling her the truth, no matter how much it broke her.“It’s nothing,” I said quietly. “I just don’t like how close you are to him, that’s all.”But even as I said it, my eyes drifted around the dining room—the flic

Janet’s Point of View Henry’s face was full of confusion.Peter, on the other hand, was burning with anger — the kind I had never seen before. His whole body trembled with fury, his fists clenched, his jaw locked so tight it looked painful.I had never seen him like this. The shift in his mood was so sudden, so intense, that it left me stunned. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This was the first time someone had ever defended me this fiercely — someone who didn’t hesitate to stand up for me.It was overwhelming.“No, he’s leaving,” Peter said coldly, his eyes fixed on Henry. “I didn’t know he was friends with that scumbag before. But now that I do, he needs to go.”Henry looked taken aback, his hands raised slightly in confusion.“Wait, what? Peter, what did I even do? I was just saying hello to Janet—”“Please, Henry,” I interrupted softly, standing up before Peter could snap again. “Can you give us a few minutes? Please.”Henry hesitated, glancing between us, then sighed. “Ok

Rowan’s Point of View As Alex parked the car in front of Peter’s studio, I couldn’t hold it anymore. My pulse was pounding in my ears. I stepped out so fast I nearly tripped over my own feet.I didn’t wait for Alex to say a word. I was halfway across the parking lot when I collided with someone.And then I froze.It was Janet.Her hand was linked with Peter’s arm. They stood close — too close — like they belonged to each other.For a second, the world fell silent. The air disappeared from my lungs.Our eyes locked, and something inside me twisted painfully. She looked surprised at first, but then her expression hardened — distant, cold, unreadable.Pain stabbed through my chest like lightning. When was the last time Janet had stood beside me like that? When had she ever looked that comfortable — that alive — in public with me?Never.Peter stepped in front of her, his glare sharp enough to cut through glass.“What the hell are you doing here?” he snapped, shoving me backward.I barel

Janet’s Point of ViewThe pain in my heart was so overwhelming that I didn’t even realize we had arrived at the hospital. The car had stopped, and Rowan was already getting out. I followed him mechanically, my body moving without my mind’s permission.I couldn’t wait to leave this place. Couldn’t wait to get away from him. If not for the fact that Grandma had been so good to me over the years, I wouldn’t be here at all.As we made our way inside, I saw Ashley, Grandma’s caregiver, coming out of the hospital room. Rowan reached for my hand and held it like a perfect husband would hold his perfect wife. Disgust rose in my throat at the sight of us together — the performance, the lie.I couldn’t wait for it to end.We entered the room, and Grandma was already sitting up in bed. A doctor and a nurse were attending to her, checking her vitals and making notes on her chart.The moment Grandma saw me, her whole face lit up like the sun breaking through clouds.“Doctors, excuse yourselves,” s

Rowan's point of view I stood in the hospital corridor and watched Janet disappear into Peter’s arms as they walked away.My chest felt like it was being crushed under the weight of a thousand stones.Why did it hurt so much?Why did seeing her with him feel like someone had driven a dagger straight into my heart and was twisting it—slowly?I had never loved Janet.And yet, watching her lean into Peter, watching how naturally she fit against him, how safe she looked in his arms—it shattered something inside me. She smiled at him. Softly and freely. The same smile she used to give me.What made it worse were Peter’s words.The chemistry between me and Janet runs deeper than even I can comprehend.They echoed in my head like a curse I couldn’t silence.Was there something between them that I didn’t know about? Something deeper than I’d imagined? Why was Peter protecting her like she was something precious—like a rare gem he would die to protect?I scoffed inwardly, trying to wave off t
