Semua Bab Married To My Ex-husband's Half-brother : Bab 41 - Bab 50

LAURA'S POV There's something about this girl. I can't place it but it's very familiar....and very disturbing. She shuts her eyes again and takes deep breaths like she's been doing since I told her I knew who she was. I wonder what she thought I knew. "Now I'm worried. Are you sure you're alright?" She nods her head weakly but I doubt it. She's not alright, she's having a panic attack. "You know what? Let's just get you home." Maybe she was one of those girls who pretended to be perfect, like me, just so they could have their dreams come through. Maybe she thinks Denver and I have a good relationship and I'd be the one to snitch on her shortcomings.Pity, she hardly knows me. Kicking off the car engine again, I begin the drive back home. Thankfully, Liam's never finding out what happened today and I still have an opportunity to have the ledger and Montero off my back.Today wasn't all that bad afterall. "Do I really look like that?" Her voice is squeaky but I can hear her. Sh

DENVER'S POV If Liam doesn't have the ledger, then where is it? That's the question that's been on my mind since I walked out of Liam's house, Neriah's hand intertwined with mine. When our dad passed, I was certain that he'd written a will since he was an extremely organized man. One who liked everything to be done in accordance with his orderly words. However, his lawyer and Liam keep insisting that he left no will. Only a couple of words instructing the manor at Florida to be handed over to me. That was it. About two years later when I heard that Liam had a secret listing of all his possession, I made it a duty to find it. That ledger would tell me if my father left more of his properties in my name, and if Liam, as he'd always done when we were children, was trying to cheat me out of my rights. That burning sensation resumes in my throat. I've been resisting the urge to cough since I got to Liam's but right now, I don't think I can do that successfully any longer

NERIAH'S POV I can't believe he's dying. Throughout the flight back home I kept staring at him to see if he'd turn around and say, "Neriah... about last night....it was a joke. Or I was drunk, but he didn't say a word. Instead he kept his gaze out of the window, staring into the vast nothingness below. Denver Chadwick and I have never been best if friends but I feel extremely sorry for him.I wish there was a way to save his life just as he saved mine. I didn't know how to ask him if there was no cure for whatever it was, but for him to say outrightly that he was dying then there probably was no cure. Or the sickness had eaten too deep to be cured. I sigh for the umpteenth time, dusting the same table I've been on since I picked this rag up. My mind turns towards a different direction. There has to be a means for his company to avoid bankruptcy, but who would he be leaving it to? Gia? Charity? Why's he fighting so hard for a legacy he has no one to carry on? If I was the one, I

LAURA'S POV I know I caught him unawares but I never expected him to shake his head and laugh. Liam's usually tipsy after taking a few sips of alcohol, and every time he's tipsy, he tells me whatever I want to hear. Every. Fucking. Time. "Laura, you're my wife. You're supposed to know me." He drops the bottle of beer aside again, turning to me. "Even if every other person usually considers me as weak, or stupid, I expect you to give me more credit."I don't understand what he's talking about, and today, he doesn't sound drunk. Not one bit. "There's no way I'm telling you where that ledger is. What do you need such sensitive information for anyway? Don't you trust me?" "Trust, Liam?" I rise to my feet, my chest's already boiling with rage. "You're the one who doesn't trust me. You're keeping an information that we've been threatened countlessly for. Our baby has even been kidnapped for it. Why is this ledger so delicate? Why can't you show me or let me know what it's truly about?

LAURA'S POV The new staff of the villa will report to duty today. I made sure to take out everyone who looked like they'd be a hindrance to my search for Liam's ledger and in replacement, I brought in Montero and his boys. Ah...Montero and I had such an amazing time at the casino on Friday night. In fact, I believe that's the first time I've had fun since I married Liam. I'm not a girl who likes to put on flowy dresses and smile all evening at wealthy patrons, most of which are my husband's business partners. Instead, I love to sit at the casino and game. The kind that leaves men penniless and drunk as they bet all their money on games I've already rigged. Montero taught me this years ago and I absolutely love it. At midnight, he carried me in his arms like old times, tore my black, leather jacket away from my body and devoured me. Liam is nothing compared to him. A sigh escapes my lips as wetness slides between my legs. I'd promised never to make love to Montero since I'm marri
