All Chapters of Claimed by Two Brothers: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The tense atmosphere at the table didn’t bother Aunt Amina in the slightest. She ate her bowl of milk porridge with obvious enjoyment. Vanya paid no attention to any of us, completely absorbed in his phone, while my mother and I were practically burning holes into each other with our stares.Throughout the entire previous day, she hadn’t given me a moment of peace, bombarding me with questions about where I’d spent the night and why I’d only come home at dawn. I reminded her of my age, and that alone was enough to ignite a full-blown argument between us. The only hope for reconciliation now rested on my father’s arrival—he was due back from his business trip any minute.“Nadya, you’re not busy today, are you?” my aunt asked, pulling me out of my contemplation of the untouched food on my plate. “Maybe you could help Vanya prepare?”My cousin twitched and shot his mother a sullen look from beneath his brows. Judging by his expression, he clearly had very different plans. As long as I co

My aunt wanted to come with us, but Father quickly put the impertinent woman in her place, reminding her that only the three of us had been invited. There was just one thing I couldn’t understand: why did my parents always tolerate those two? Even my mother found her own sister’s company unpleasant, so why had she agreed to let her nephew live in our house? As for Ivan’s plans for the evening, I had been absolutely right. The moment Father and I returned home, the guy headed straight into the city, and apparently Aunt Amina didn’t want to stay alone in such a huge house, so she tearfully begged to come with us.The spiteful woman followed us with a cold, unfriendly stare from the doorstep until the car disappeared behind the hedge.Mom was clearly pleased with how conveniently everything had worked out, so she chatted nonstop the entire drive.I had often been to old Darvin’s house in the past, and honestly, that place had always sent a chill down my spine. High ceilings, ancient colu

The Darvin brothers couldn’t have cared less about business matters or their uncle’s discussion with Batalov. Their thoughts were entirely consumed by the blonde now sitting in the next room, sipping tea in the company of the women.“So, what do you think about all this, Vlad?” Sergey asked, pulling his nephews from their thoughts.“I think, Uncle, that it’s far too early to make decisions about a business that doesn’t belong to you.”The large man bristled with anger, glancing from one nephew to the other. None of it interested Stas in the slightest—his gaze remained fixed on his phone screen.“I currently have every right to manage everything, so I’ll prepare an additional agreement, Viktor,” the man said, breathing heavily as he dropped into an armchair.“I don’t give a damn about your conversations,” the younger Darvin snorted, getting to his feet. “I’d rather take a walk in the garden.”Stas left the room, and once the door closed behind him, the argument resumed.“Uncle, you may

I strolled through the mall at an unhurried pace. Nina and I had finally found a lighter, shared topic of conversation—clothes. I had a feeling today would turn into an unforgettable shopping spree for both of us.I noticed the boutique right away. Its bright, colorful design immediately caught the attention of passersby. On the left side of the display window was a photo of me alone, which barely held my interest. But on the other side…The way Stas was pressing me against his back made my heart flutter in my chest like a caged bird desperate to break free. No matter how hard I tried to keep that feeling buried, it pushed its way to the surface—and Nina noticed.“I get that he’s handsome. Great body, killer smile, but… Nadya, he’s a womanizer. A real one.”“I just…” I mumbled, unable to tear my gaze away from the display and those strong arms. It felt as if they were touching me again, the places where they had rested now burning, craving something more. “There’s nothing like that. D

“Valen? I can’t believe my eyes!” I exclaimed, jumping to my feet and throwing my arms around his neck in a warm embrace.I was genuinely happy to see him. This was exactly what I needed right now—a proper shake-up from management.“So, soaking up the sun, huh, girl?” he grumbled, gently prying my hands from his neck and twisting my arms this way and that. “You didn’t even bother to cover up—no sunscreen either! I knew sending you on vacation was a terrible idea.”A surge of joy washed over me, and I couldn’t contain it. I grinned like a complete lunatic. Valen, as always, looked as though he were heading straight for the North Pole. A long-sleeved jacket, jeans, and a fitted T-shirt. Everything seemed light enough, but the heat around us was unbearable, and just looking at all that clothing made me feel dizzy.“Let’s go to a café before you turn into charcoal,” he said, already dragging me toward the park exit without waiting for my answer.“So what are you doing here?” I asked, curi
