All Chapters of Married To My Ex-husband's Half-brother : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

NERIAH'S POV Every time I blink, I see Eden’s small frame being yanked into that van, sounds of her screams echoing in my ears.Across the room, Ethan is pacing restlessly. His phone has been glued to his ear since he came in here, his voice clipped as he barks out instructions. I can't fully hear what he's saying but the way his face is tightened up, I know he's trying to get people on Eden's case. I just wish I could get to her before she was dragged away. The nagging feeling of guilt tugs on my heart consistently the moment the glass doors of the station swing open and Gia walk in. Her boot heels clatter against the tiled floor as she storms forward. She has a designer coat thrown loosely over her shoulders. It's obvious she barely had time to put herself together. Her face...God...her face is something else entirely. There are heavy, dark bags beneath her red eyes, several wrinkle lines mark her forehead and cheeks as if she's turned old overnight. “Where is she?” Gia’s voic

NERIAH'S POVSince the moment I stepped through the door of my house, I haven’t been still for more than a breath.Every few minutes I’m dialing Ethan's number, asking for updates on Eden and Denver. Anything at all that'd anchor me. He's picked up twice since then but his responses are always the same; "They’re working on it, Neriah. We’ll find her...Denver’s still in surgery. Stay calm."But calm is impossible when it feels like your world as you know it is about to come to an end. I pace until the skin of my feet nearly freezes from the cold floor. I grip my phone so hard my fingers ache, terrified that if I let it go, I’ll miss something. My eyes slide close from exhaustion but each time I'm reawakened by screams similar to the ones in Eden's voice. Then, finally, the phone vibrates again in my hand. I answer so quickly the screen nearly slips from my grasp. “Ethan?”There’s a pause, and in that space I hear the exhaustion in his voice and the strain he’s been holding back. When

NERIAH'S POV The moment I set eyes on her, a scream of joy rips free from my throat. There are purple bruises on her eye and forehead but as soon as her eyes land on me, they widen and light up like shooting stars. My arms open widely as she limps towards me, arms open as well. The moment she's close to me, I gather her up in my arms, pressing her head to my breasts and my arms to her torso. There are no sensible words in my head but I believe the tears pouring down my eyes can communicate the extent of my relief. Ethan walks up to us, hunching over as if the weight of all that's happened has doubled his age overnight. My arms ease around Eden's torso as I go over to wrap myself in Ethan's arms. "Thank you," I whisper into his ears. He grunts softly, I believe from loss of words as well."How did you make it out?" Eden flashes a smile at me, blood seeps out from a cut in her lips, easing into her teeth. "That's a whole story for when we're not in the police station." Her eyes di

LAURA'S POVIt's been six days since my attempted move on Denver Chadwick, and five days since my release from police custody. The bastard doesn't look like he's eager to fight for his life so Liam and I now have an edge. He's been somewhat detached for the past five days, spending long hours in his study when he's around in the house and when he isn't, he's always out for one job or the other. I smile at the nanny as she excuses herself from the nursery. Junior's sleeping soundly so Liam and I can have the conversation I've been waiting to have with him. My feet pad softly on the tiled floor as I make my way to his office. He's saying something over the phone but his voice is low. I don't know if it's a good idea to interrupt him at this point. I turn around but stop short when he makes a statement. "Find out if Laura has a personal relationship with that Montero guy..... it was only a suspicion but the day I picked her up from the police station, he called.." he takes a short p

NERIAH'S POVThe phone's been buzzing for the past hour, but for some reason, I don't want to pick it up. It's Ethan. And he's been calling since the day before yesterday when I refused to go with them to the hospital. Eden hasn't come to see me either. I know she must be really upset but right now, I don't care. There was no way I could stare into Denver's unconscious face knowing that there was a possibility he'd never open his eyes to look into mine again. I just couldn't handle it. The phone stops buzzing and dings with a notification instead. It's a text message from Ethan. What the hell does he want?My mouth drops at the words. They're just two of them. He's awake. My palms fly up to cover my mouth. My fingers tremble as I dial Ethan's contact. He picks up on the first ring. "Ethan. Is it...is it true?" He chuckles lightly on the other end. "I thought you weren't ever going to re
