Semua Bab My Brother-in-law's sinful offer: Bab 161 - Bab 170

“Ariana… Babydoll… Love, can you hear me? I miss you so much,” Kayden whispered to the sleeping beauty. “Please open your eyes, and I'll do anything you want me to do,” he added. ‘Even if it's the truth about the past. Even if you wouldn't choose me after you find out I'm your mom's murderer, please just wake up,' he said the remaining sentence in his mind. He had been having an internal battle with himself for the past three days. He kept blaming himself for not telling her about their past. Maybe she wouldn't be so curious and try to snoop around. His adopted father, Mr. Morgan, has also been coming around to check on Aria the past few days, and he had a gut feeling that Mr. Morgan had found out the truth, even though he doesn't show it.Just this morning, he had asked the doctors why she wasn't awake yet, and the doctors kept insisting that she was fine. They said she was in a comatose state because after going through a triggering moment, her forgotten memories would try to r

The next day… Cara's apartment… 7:50 am.Cara heard someone ring the doorbell and drowsily got out of bed to investigate. She looked at the monitor, realized it was her mom, and reluctantly opened the door. Her mom had been calling her for the past few days, but she didn't pick up. She was tired of listening to her nag about her career as a model and how she should go on blind dates and focus on settling down. “What are you doing here so early in the morning?” Cara asked groggily, yawning, and then she saw the food basket in her mom's hand. “Don't tell me you came here this early to bring me breakfast…” “Why haven't you been picking up my calls? Is Madam Hunt treating you so well that you've forgotten about your own mother?” Aunt Barbara asked, her tone full of hurt. “What has she got to do with anyone? I only go there because of Grandpa,” Cara muttered under her breath, but Aunt Barbara heard her. “Then why the distance? Does my presence bother you?” Cara ignored her mom and s

Aria looked like she had seen a ghost. The name slipped through her lips before she could stop herself. “Jayden.” “Why so distant? Call me like you always do. Honey? Hubby? Babe?” He taunted. “Let's do the check-up later,” Dr. Jason told Dr. Natalie, dragging her away. “Martin! Anthony! Who let him in?!” Kayden growled; he looked furious. Martin, Anthony, and two other men who were standing guard at the entrance entered, hearing the boss's growl. “Boss,...” Martin began, but Jayden cut him off.“You told your men to let me in yourself, remember?” He chuckled. “Besides, I'm here to see my wife; aren't you the one intruding?” Jayden added cheekily, and Kayden's jaw clenched, his hands balled into fists. ‘This was what irked him most. That damn piece of paper. That damn certificate!’ Kayden was about to give his brother a piece of his mind and tell his men who stood by the door like statues to drag Jayden out, but Aria beat him to it. “YOU ARE NOT MY HUSBAND, YOU MONSTER!” She

Seeing that her grandfather and father had left, Cara turned to her mom, not realizing how Aunt Barbara’s gaze had turned blank after seeing her father. “Mom, why don't you drop the food basket so that we can come back later? I don't think our presence is needed here,” she said. “Ah… Yes… You're right. They need to talk. Let's drop it and come back later,” Aunt Barbara said absentmindedly, trying to mask her discomfort. She approached Martin and gave the food basket to him. “Give this to the boss and the madam, and tell him we'll come back later…” “Cara?” Aria's hesitant voice cut through the atmosphere, causing both mother and daughter to look over. “You came; it's really you. I missed you so much,” Aria said in a hoarse voice. Cara stared at Aria, and her eyes welled up with tears. “Go ahead, I’ll be waiting for you in the lobby,” Aunt Barbara said, lightly pushing Cara forward. Cara nodded at her mom as her throat tightened. Before she realized, she was already approaching

Kayden stared at his grandfather's aged face, which was full of cunningness, and began to wonder when the old master's intelligence had begun to dwindle. When Kayden was younger, he held his grandfather in high regard for his intelligence and wisdom, but it seems old age had made him an “old fool.” ‘Two can play that game,’ Kayden inwardly thought. “Grandfather has indeed seen through my thoughts. There's nothing I can hide from you, is there?” Kayden drawled lazily and took a chair across from his grandfather. He had a greedy smile on his face, his eyes manipulative as if he didn't even know what love was. His whole demeanor resembled a con man who was ready and willing to cheat his lover of her fortune. Kayden knew his grandfather had no idea about the riches he possessed, and he wanted it to remain like that.His grandfather also didn't know he was the adopted son of Mr. Morgan and that he was already managing several businesses under the Morgan family's empire.Kayden wasn't
