Semua Bab ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW: Bab 91 - Bab 100

Gwen POV“You looked tense,” Jo commented when she walked over to my desk. She was here to fetch me for the impromptu meeting the new boss called this afternoon.I tried to school my expression to one of nonchalance, but I was not sure if I was effective because Jo was still looking quizzically at me.“Are you nervous?”I shook my head, but deep down, I was petrified. I just could not tell her because while I was relieved that the new boss was not Damon, the alternative left me shaken.Of course, it was not unlikely that he would take over the company. Grandpa Ryan had been its CEO for a long time, and in his state, he needed someone from the family who could take his place.I just felt awkward after what happened between Damian and me the other day. I feel like I really wanted to request an emergency leave, but that would have been telling. Damian would easily guess what happened to me.It was more embarrassing than braving it out.And so, I moved really slowly in keeping my desk tid

Damian POV“You could have gone out and told the whole world that you are angry,” Mason commented after we got out of the elevator on the executive floor of the building that houses my office.After the urgent meeting I called earlier, the three of us trooped back here and walked the short distance to my office. When we got inside, I gave specific instructions to my secretary that I shouldn’t be disturbed.A dark satisfaction simmered inside me after sending that reporter away and making sure legal action would follow. But the relief was fleeting, swallowed by a relentless fury still raging beneath my skin.The anger roared through me, grabbing hold of my every nerve, refusing to let go.I still blamed Fredrick for his audacity. I still believe it was a d*ck move to involve Gwen in my problems with my family. Gwen had nothing to do with it.She was the sacrificial lamb, and I can’t stand by and watch her life go crazy with the media attention.“But you can’t stop the speculations at t

Damian POVAfter calling my secretary’s attention to leave instructions on cancelling all my appointments for the rest of the day, I strode briskly toward my private elevator.Baron and Mason followed me.While waiting for the elevator car to descend, I swiped my phone and read for the second time Mrs. Lucerne’s message.“Gwen passed out. She has a fever. The staff sent her to the hospital.”I dialed her number. She answered immediately.“At what hospital did you send her?” I asked.In my peripheral vision, I could see Baron and Mason elbowing each other. It was like they had a secret that involved me. I wanted to reprimand them. They were taking my concentration away from the telephone conversation to watch their antics.But who am I kidding?I'm distracted because I'm worried about Gwen.I had been waiting for this to happen. Gwen had been a ticking time bomb since the botched-up wedding ceremony when she realized that she married me instead of Damon. Genna’s bullying tactics, and h

DamianDamon, showing up unannounced, did not bode well for me. I did not even trust his grin.“What do you want?” I asked grim-faced after he started the engine and the car moved forward, leaving the hospital behind.“Aren’t you glad to see me?”I shook my head.“Stop with the hypocrisy, Damon. We both know that you showing up today meant something.”He laughed maniacally, but the sound was cold and hollow to my ears.This time, I realized that five years is a long time. People can change.“You still knew me like the back of your hand, brother. So, I think you can very well answer your own question.”There was silence in the car because I refused to rise to Damon’s bait.I knew what he was up to, and I did not like it one bit.Half of me wanted to blame myself for the wrong decision I made earlier. I shouldn’t have left. I should have just stayed at the hospital and followed the old plan. If I visited Gwen, then maybe my brother wouldn’t have the chance of cornering me like this.But

Mason POV“You are interfering.” Baron accused after we left Gwen’s room.After she eagerly accepted my offer to hire the best divorce lawyer for her, she made a face and a troubled look settled on her face.“I can’t accept the lawyer, Mason. But thank you for the offer.”The change in her decision confused me. At first, she was hesitant, then excited, and now she was changing her mind. What gives?“Don’t you want to divorce Damon?” I asked gently.I am sure that, given their circumstance, she was not averse to divorcing Damon. Besides, no woman who wanted to stay married would bear traveling a hundred miles just so she could avoid her husband.I shook my head, not understanding.“I wanted to divorce Damon. I really do. I realized that I can’t stay married to him.”“Then, what changed your mind?”Gwen looked down. But I could feel that she was contemplating her decision. The slump on her shoulders proved that she was at a dead end. She needed the divorce, but something’s holding her ba
