Semua Bab My Brother-in-law's sinful offer: Bab 131 - Bab 140

"Is that important? I nearly lost my and the baby's life there. Shouldn't you worry about that?" After having breakfast this morning and touring the mansion, she felt bored and decided to try some recipes she had seen online to pass the time. The truth is that even though she was practically the maid in her father's house, her stepmom never allowed her near her kitchen and food. It could be because her guilty conscience made her think Aria might poison her. So apart from noodles and some simple dishes, Aria wasn't really good at cooking. Watching those cooking videos, she thought it would be easy. After all, what was so difficult about recreating something someone was doing in a video? But it seems she was not meant for the kitchen. “Don't be angry, mhm,” Kayden coaxed. “Of course, you and my little princess’s lives are more important than the fact that you don't know how to cook,” he added, and Aria, who was smiling and nodding her head at his words in the beginning, angrily h

20 minutes ago, Mr. Gray's ward…“What are you doing here? Are you here to see if he's finally dead?” Mrs. Gray asked in an aggravated tone, her expression full of anger. “Mom, you know that's not true. I came to see Dad because I was worried about…” “Do you even care?” Mrs. Hunt sneered, cutting her off. “Would my poor husband be in this condition if not for you? Your husband had already promised to give me the evidence to clear his name, but you decided to provoke him.” “I already knew you were an ungrateful brat. You chose to cheat on the man who took you out of poverty and made you a queen. Now look at your father… Just look at what they did to him…those people nearly killed him there.” Mrs. Gray was sobbing now, her anguish turned into tears. Her tears were real this time because she really couldn't leave without her husband. He was the one who took care of her and made her not lift a finger all these years. She had no skills, and she was already so old. If something happen

“You trust him? What if I tell you Kayden is the reason why you became an orphan? If you knew what he did to your birth mother and father, you'd kill yourself for letting him touch you,” Jayden taunted, and Aria froze. ‘Kayden did something to her birth mother?’ Jayden recalled what Master X told him yesterday. “We need to accelerate our plans against Kayden. He took my wife,” Jayden declared, his voice steady with determination. He wanted to kill Kayden. “Leave your brother and that little wife of yours alone for now… They're going to be mortal enemies soon enough. Have I told you he is the reason your wife is an orphan? ... The big reveal will be happening soon. Just let him enjoy the feeling of having her now so that it'll be more fulfilling if he loses her later,” Master X had said. Jayden had thought the man was joking because he and Kayden were just five years older than Aria. How could Kayden make her an orphan? But hearing the certainty in Master X’s voice, he had realize

“Boss, your brother has stationed a helicopter on the rooftop of the Hunt Hotel. I'm guessing he wants to take the madam out of the country,” Mike reported the latest update, and Kayden cursed. “Damn it, Andy! Why are you driving the car at a snail's pace? Should I teach you how to drive?” Kayden barked, and Andy felt like crying. The car was already speeding past its limits, and the police were already on their tail but couldn't catch up. How does this compare to a snail's pace? “Sorry, Boss, I'll go faster,” Andy said to appease the big bad wolf behind him and began to drive even faster. ~~~Jayden had reached the rooftop when Simon tapped on his shoulder with a look of urgency on his face. “Sir, we must board immediately; your brother is already at the hotel's main entrance,” he reported. Jayden's eyes darkened as he hurriedly approached the helicopter. Aria noticed how everyone was frantically trying to get on board, assisting Jayden to get on the helicopter as if they were

Goosebumps rose on her skin at how deathly his gaze looked as he interlocked his eyes with hers. “What would have happened if I were a minute late? If I hadn't found you in time. If I lost you again, if you were hurt and your life was in danger…” She took in all the emotions on his face—the rage, the worry, and most importantly, the deep fear in those dark orbs—and her breath hitched. ‘He was scared of losing her.’ She couldn't even be angry at him for his earlier actions. She closed her eyes and softly muttered, “I'm sorry, I shouldn't have.” “You shouldn't have done what?” He asked, and she blinked. “Everything,” she said. She knew what she had done couldn't be forgotten just like that, and she wasn't in the mood to list all her crimes. “Everything?” He repeated. “Yes, everything; I'm sorry for everything I did today,” she said and added. “I was confident because I knew you'd come for me. I knew if he lied about the evidence, you wouldn't let him take me away.” “Yes, I
