All Chapters of ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Gwen POVWhile Lou and I were busy eating, I was already making plans in my head.I can’t stay in this hotel and become fodder for gossip all the time.Genna Black is milking my predicament for all it was worth, and she was turning to make things look in her favor.I am no fool.I am very much aware that she wanted Damon for herself.While she did not succeed before, she was milking the opportunity Damian opened for her up to the last drop.She may not be aware that it was Damian, but people like her don’t care about the person. They care about the status symbol. And Damon is one big status symbol. A trophy she can brandish around to her heart’s content.A hush fell over the crowd, but my eyes were on my plate.I was busy savoring the food that the cafeteria served today.It was better to keep my attention to eating rather than mind what’s going on in other people's heads. In this life, the only thing I have control over is myself. My emotions, my thoughts, my spoken words, and my act

Gwen POVThree hours earlier.I was standing in front of my open locker, counting the coins in my purse to check whether I had enough to cover my fare, and realized that I had no money left.Scraping together the coins I found and counting each dime and nickel in my palm, my greatest problem at the moment is how I am going to get to work tomorrow or for the rest of the week until I receive my paycheck.I can’t borrow from Lou. She would think that was strange. She was already irritated at the way “Damon” was treating me since our wedding day. I don’t want her to get suspicious that Damon was gone and in his place, pretending to be him, was his twin brother, Damian.I really did not think that I would come to this situation, but I have no one to blame but myself. I relied too much on Damon, lacking foresight about a situation such as this.If only I had accepted the extension card Damon was insisting I take, I wouldn’t be in this position.But that’s enough recriminations for now. What

Gwen POVThe first ray of sun hit my eyes, and I stirred, turning my body to the side to block it out and burrowing my face deeper into my pillow.Feeling its downy comfort, I smiled contentedly as I basked in the easing of the tension in my body.I sighed. Maybe it's what having a restful sleep does to one's body. It brings you peace and calm.Last night's sleep was wonderful.Then, something about last night teased my head.I remembered bits and pieces of me crying in the middle of the night while Damon gently ran warm towels all over my face, neck, arms, and legs.Realization hits me instantly.Damon was not here.And Damon would not do that. He has always been careful around me, as if I were a fragile thing made of porcelain.He did not even kiss me like his brother did - demanding and giving at the same time.My lids flew open when I realized that Damian had taken my first real kiss. One that should have been my husband’s.Then, I sat on the bed, I turned my head sideways and hea

Damian POVI got into my office in a foul mood.It was the first time that someone rejected my offer, and it stung.It did not help my case that Baron witnessed everything. Baron, who kept ribbing me about how I am crushing on my sister-in-law.It was not true, of course!I don’t even like her. But last night, when she was crying her heart out, I was on a conference call with everyone on the team, and they heard how I tried to comfort her.It felt awkward. I was so out of my element.It was the first time I had done that, but I don’t think that my conscience would take it if I abandoned her. It was not in my nature.Now, Baron and the other guys were teasing me about it and said I was a sucker for damsels in distress, which I clearly am not.Still, I wanted to test their theory. I wanted to prove to the team that I do not have special feelings for Gwen Delafonte-Olson, my brother’s wife.“Joseph,” I called my assistant via the office communication system.“Yes, Mr Olson.”I hummed, tr

Gwen POVI went back to my job of scrubbing floors at the lobby, my usual assignment, which I gathered came from Genna herself.It was her little act of wickedness, showing everyone around that I, the boss’s wife, was relegated to scrubbing floors in the lobby. She was pulling rank, reminding me that I was at her mercy.But that was not my concern right now.I was contemplating what Damian said about my marriage to Damon as fraudulent.I was also thinking about what he said about Damon wanting to return to me to make things right.I kept thinking, what if it was not Damon who sent that message, but Damian?It’s plausible. Maybe he asked someone to do it for him, and that someone used a different sim card number.Everything’s easy. He has in his possession Damon’s mobile phone. He had access to Damon’s contacts, including mine.“You look sad,” Lou commented when she passed by my area. It was temporarily cordoned off with a yellow caution wet floor sign at the edge to warn passers-by.L
