All Chapters of Seducing My Husband's Brother : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

𝐏𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐘~~~My life was simple once. Sweet, even. Warm Mexican sunsets, the scent of bougainvillea in the courtyard, laughter echoing through cobblestone streets—those were my constants.I never imagined all of it would vanish the moment I said 'I do.'Maybe I never imagined all the changes because I never thought I'd marry into a Mafia family, but I did.This is both ironic and funny, considering that my father spent his last years trying his very damned best to remove us—the De la Cruz—from the Mexican Cartel.My marriage to Ryat Reigns didn’t just change my name; it uprooted my soul and dragged me into a world I was once removed from—a world ruled by blood, power, and silence.From sunlit gardens in San Cristóbal to the shadows of New York’s underworld, I learned quickly that love isn’t the only thing that binds—it’s fear, it’s control, it’s survival.I lived as a faithful wife though. For five whole years, I lived as the faithful wife of the mighty Ryat Reigns, even though he

𝐑𝐘𝐀𝐍~~~I still remember the day I flew back to Mexico like it’s burned into my fucking skin. Like it's etched into my flesh in blazing bold characters.One month—that’s all I was gone. Thirty-four goddamn days. I was called back to New York. I bled for the family, buried men who thought they could snatch our throne, reinstalled the Reigns supremacy. I did it to protect everything we built.And when I walked back through those chapel doors—the same chapel where I saw her for the first time, kneeling before the statue, silently praying.There she was.Purity. My Purity. Dressed in white, glowing like every dream I’d ever had—standing at the altar.Next to my brother.She didn’t even look at me. Not once. Not when the priest spoke. Not when Ryat slipped the ring on her finger. Not when I felt my chest cave in like a building set on fire.But her smile—that perfect, practiced smile—was a blade. A sharp, cruel little thing that cut deeper than any bullet ever could. It said, I moved

PURITY~~~"Are you sure about this?" My mom's voice comes rushing back."I'm sure, amá." I remember my calculated response as I sat in front of the mirror. Staring straight at the image of myself in a wedding dress, my mom standing behind me, carefully pinning the veil to my hair.Her voice is sharper in my memory now, laced with the weight it carried. "Divorce isn't something our family takes lightly, Soli. You know how it looks. Your abuela endured, I endured. We don’t leave our marriages. We survive them."The words sting, even now. Survive. As if that was all I was meant to do. As if my life was a cage I was born to sit quietly in and just... endure.Our eyes connect in the ornate mirror and I nod my understanding. "I'm sure of this. Trust me." That was five years ago.Now, I feel like smacking the 21 year old me who comfortably sat and made the decision to ruin herself in a bid to avenge her broken heart.An impulsive decision I made because I'd rather be the first to walk away

RYAN•••••••Purity went for an overkill, she detonated the whole damn board by bringing Rex into this.I mean, I did see this coming, it only came earlier than I had expected.She knew Ryat would get me involved, and if I backed him, that would leave her with no other option but to accept the divorce.In the events of this happening, her only move was to bring in someone neither Ryat nor I could defy. Someone Ryat would never go to even if his life depended on it—our father.Her desperation to keep this 'holy' matrimony going is beyond me at this point."Hey!" Rex clicks his fingers just inches from my eyes. "Eyes off the red lady and focus on me. I'm right here."Reluctantly, I shift my gaze to him. His face is as relaxed as it always is in every darn situation. Sitting directly across the table, hands folded tight across his chest, his eyes like dead winter—nothing warm or affectionate, everything calculated.Straightening lightly, my fingers brush the edge of my watch. "We weren'

RYAN•••••••Ryat's request didn't come as a surprise. I've known him his whole life—a sore loser through and through. He's not one to accept a loss without squeezing in his own terms.Rex and I had no choice but to agree with his terms, much like how Ryat and I had no choice but to conform to his.She's connected to the cartel was the excuse I gave when Ryat wouldn't stop whining about "Why?"In truth, that wasn't entirely misleading. A fraction of De la Cruz might have broken away from Hijos, they remain an associate still. Considering that Purity is suicidal, and we have an unsettled score with the jefe, a divorce might not just weaken Ryat's image, it might cause a full-blown war—I had no choice.Instinctively, I snap my head to the side, averting the kiss."Hmm!" She releases a guttural grunt in protest, but that won't have me kissing her—not now, not ever. "What's on your mind?" Her voice is thick with sexual tension, pouring straight out of he
