In His Brothers Bed のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

Massimo didn’t bother knocking.The office door slammed open so hard it rattled the glass shelves behind Dominic Alessandro’s desk. The old man didn’t flinch. He was already seated, hands folded, eyes calm in a way that made Massimo’s blood boil even more.“So it’s true,” Massimo said coldly. “You gave her permission.”Dominic looked up slowly. “Lower your voice.”“My voice?” Massimo let out a sharp laugh. “You allowed Zara’s mother to sell on my turf without even fucking telling me. My men reported it like it was gossip on the street.”“It is not your turf,” he replied evenly. “It belongs to the family.”Massimo stepped forward. “Everything I built there is mine. Every shipment, every route, every alliance is mine. You had no right.”“I have every right,” his father snapped, finally rising from his chair. “I am still the head of this family.”“Head?” Massimo scoffed. “Then start acting like one. You don’t make deals behind your son’s back with women who want to crawl into our busines

Priya made her way upstairs to speak to Val. She had no idea that her friend was on a trip enjoying herself. As she walked through the hallway, she saw Karl come out of a room. She halted because they almost collided. Her heart leapt as she took a step back. Seeing Karl after that kiss always made her heart flutter. “Where are you off to?” Karl asked. “To see Valeria, I haven't seen her since the…accident.” Her tone went low, almost like she didn’t want to spit the last word out. She was still blaming herself for what happened at the dinner. “She's not here. She's out with Massimo.” Priya nodded and fidgeted with her nails. “OK, I'll leave then.” She said as she turned to leave. “Are you doing anything today?” Karl's words stopped her in her tracks, and she turned to face him. “No, why do you ask?” Her brows furrowed as she waited for an answer. Karl swallowed the lump that seemed to be stuck in his throat before answering. “I came across a nice temple on my way to work. Maybe yo

Valeria pov“Look at what I got you,” I said with a smile as I pulled the seashell out of my back. Priya gasped as she grabbed the shell from my hand. She laughed as she stared at it. “It's so cute, oh my God,” she said as she studied it. “Looks like you really enjoyed your little getaway.” Priya teased, and I smiled to myself. Flashbacks of what went on there started to replay in my mind, and I had to shake my head to stop them because…they were unholy. “Were you bored while I was gone?” She shook her head sideways as she sat on the bed, and I sat with her with a smile on my face. She noticed how I was smiling and burst out laughing. “Stop making that face.” She said through laughs. “What face?” I acted oblivious. “Tell me, what did you do?”“Karl took me to the temple.” My mouth formed an o as I backed away. I was surprised. Karl? Was he that thoughtful? I never knew he'd be like that. That is very impressive. “That's nice.”“Yes, it was very exciting. He was very sweet. I al

“You’re leaving? Why?” Val looked like a wounded puppy as she gazed at her friend. “Is it because of what I said the other time? I'm sorry, I wasn't very considerate and I'm sorry.” Priya shook her head sideways with a smile on her face. “No, I'm not really bothered, and I'm not leaving because of what you said. I'm leaving for myself, I can't rely on you and your husband forever. That would be very selfish of me. I'm not a child, so I need to take care of myself. Karl already found me an apartment. You can come and visit anytime you want.” Val's shoulders fell, and she felt some way about her friend leaving. She somehow felt like it was her fault, that she made her uncomfortable. She looked at her, lips pressing into a thin line, and she nodded in agreement. Although she didn't want her to leave, she had no choice but to accept her decision. At the end of the day, she is her own person who needs to make decisions for herself. “Take care.” was the only thing she managed to say as

Priya sat on the sofa, gently squeezing the pillow in her hand and burying her face in it. Flashbacks of the night she kissed Karl replayed in her head and she felt so embarrassed. She couldn't even look at him and just rushed back into the house like a coward. How would she face him now? It would be so awkward. “Oh dear,” she sighed heavily, pouting as her phone rang, jolting her back to reality. She grabbed it as she brought it closer to her ear. “Hello.” “Hello, am I speaking to Miss Priya Singh?” She immediately sat up straight without even realising. “Yes, this is Priya.”“You applied for a job through our website for the cleaner's job at our restaurant, Tasty Bites.” Priya smiled as she nodded, forgetting she was on a phone call. “Yes, I did.”“Unfortunately, the cleaners' spot has been taken, so we can't pick you.” It felt like her whole world shattered as her face dulled. “Oh, is that so?” she said sadly. “However, we have a spot open for waitresses. Will you be intereste
