Contractually Yours, Brother-in-law. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

EPISODE TWO.Jenna's POV.The ride home was almost suffocating for me as anger was all I felt throughout.I know I shouldn't be an emotional wreck around Ryker, but I can't help it, my heart rips apart in guilt every time I see him because he's like a mirror I can see my sister through.When he hit me with the wrecking question asking about my niece's name which I had no idea about, I haven't even seen her before, or have an idea about what she likes or not, yet, I wish to protect her badly.What if I'm the bad person in their story? What if I end up ruining her childhood?Tears poured afresh from my eyes as I rested my head on the window.What do I do? How do I gain custody of this child?From what I learnt, Ryker has been present in my niece's life since her conception, Lana makes sure to rub it on my face every time she has the opportunity to.Even though, it was a marriage of convenience, Lana loved him wholeheartedly.It didn't take my driver much time to get to my parents' house

EPISODE FOUR.JENNA'S POV.My lips brushed the soft surface of Ryker's and he pulled away immediately as if I repulsed him.His eyes widened in shock and looked around to see if anyone was looking but it's just the camera man who's taken a good shot of us from the corner he was hiding waving at me.Goddamnit."Did you just try to kiss me?" Ryker whispered, his tone dangerously low and excruciating."This is what I meant when I said you won't be able to get rid of me that easily." I scoffed in a badgering tone, trying to keep my voice coherent but it's hard to because I just kissed my sister's husband, Ryker, the man I've hated all my life."What? You just kissed me at your sister's funeral? How low can you sink?""Low enough that I'm ready to do anything to keep my parents' company alive." I snapped back at him, holding my real intentions at the tip of my tongue.Because he won't definitely give into it if he learnt that my actual aim is to get Arlene away from him."You're pulling th

EPISODE SIX.RYKER'S POV.I watched Jenna wrap her hands protectively around Arlene, and for a moment, my heart fucking tugged.It's such a nice moment, to see Arlene so relaxed in any other arms asides me.Maybe she's trying to deny herself the fact that Lana is no more, and it hurts like crazy, she doesn't deserve all of these, we don't deserve her."What?" Jenna scoff, she tuck in her lips which bare lip gloss and stare at me like I'm some sort of maniac. I can't believe I just blurted out that we should tie the knots, which makes everything more unbelievable and suspicious for her."You want the wedding? I will give it to you, but I'm assuring you that you won't opt out of this contract with me paying a dime."Her eyes darkened again at my words. "What makes you think I want your goddamned money?""Then why are you so hell bent on marrying me?" I question again, her expression livid. "Wait, don't tell me you're actually in love...""You're out of your mind, Ryker." Jenna cut me of

EPISODE EIGHT.RYKER'S POV."This narrative is straightforward as hell, she doesn't like you and never saw you as a man." Micheal explains teasingly, I roll my eyes tiredly because he's just having fun in making jest of me.Maybe he's right though, I'm the one having sinister thoughts and overthinking what happened in Jenna's room this morning.How she opened the door when the only clothing on her is a long towel with no abashed expression on her face, I had to get in touch with reality countless times that nothing would ever happen between us."And what does she see me as? A sissy?""Don't be ridiculous, she hates you, there's no way Jenna would have the slightest feelings for someone like you when all she ever knew about you is that you're nothing but a jerk." He shrugs nonchalantly and resumes running his fingers on the keyboard again."But I'm not, fuck, I'm not a jerk." My defensive tone becomes bolder and almost exasperating but he didn't spare me a glance which depicts that I'm

EPISODE TEN. JENNA'S POV. I stood there, rooted to the spot, dumbfounded. What the hell just happened? Ryker lying to my face that Lana always looks unkempt around her own daughter when she's always been obsessive with looking good? Did he think I won't call his bluff or he's just straight up lying to me about this? Fuming, I watch both of them get refreshed and chat at each other heartily, I couldn't take it anymore, I run back to my room to freshen up and clean the dried blood off my body. After I was done with that, I returned to downstairs to look for something to eat, hungry is an understatement, I'm fucking starved. Getting there, I didn't expect to see the fridge stacked up with cooked food and fresh groceries, for a guy who's an asshole, Ryker surprises me every time. Or maybe someone does it for him. I took out my favorite soup and made some rice with it, after it was done, I settled down in the mini dining in the kitchen and had my meal. I was almost don
