All Chapters of Craving the Wrong Brother: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Waking up frustrated over being needy for a man, who seemed to purposely dangle what I want in my face without giving it to me already set a nasty tone for my day.Then coming up to see that not a single read or view on the book I published sent me spiraling.I thought it was a masterpiece. I read that book so many times and every time I did, I edited it till it was near perfection.The external validation I got made it seem like I would become a top author the very second my book was up, and now… A frustrated sigh left my lips and I went to get myself another cup of coffee.“You've had nothing to eat all day, ma’am.” Laura, the housekeeper stated and I forced myself to smile.“I'm not exactly hungry, Laura. I just need more coffee.”She looked at the remaining coffee, then she shook her head. “No more for you, ma’am, you've had enough. Unless of course you're willing to eat something.”“I cannot have another cup of coffee?”She nodded.“That's ridiculous, Laura. I'm just not hungry.

I felt like a Zombie walking into the house. The situation was almost laughable. I should have known it was a trap.“You're back.”Desmond was seated in the living room, reading through a document. His eyes met mine and my heart tightened with guilt. He only extended kindness to me and I roped him into my mess.“Yes, I am.”“How's Scott?”The image of him walking out of that hospital room with Evelyn, looking healthier than usual made my heart hurt. “He's.. good. As good as he can be.” “And Eunice? How…”“I'm sorry, but I'm tired and I would like to go to my room to lie down.”“That's fine.” “Thank you.”I was about to drag my very tired self upstairs and lie down to pretend all that happened today did in fact not happen.“But before you go,” he stood up, and took off his glasses. “Take a look at this.”“Can I do that tomorrow?” “It is important that you do it now.”I glanced at the papers, then I took them from him. “Is this a medical report?”“Yes, Scott's.”My brows furrowed

“How do you like your room?”I smiled and bobbed my head in excitement. It was small and cozy, exactly what I pictured when I imagined coming to the farm.“I like it very much. It's perfect.” My eyes darted around and my smile widened.“That's good. The kitchen, living room and bathroom are shared areas.”The smile on my face fell a bit. “We have to share a bathroom?”He scratched the back of his neck slightly and nodded. “I didn't really take it into consideration that I might not always be the only one coming here so I didn't bother building an extra bathroom.”My lips fell flat and I turned away. Sharing a bathroom with him seemed too…personal. What if I walk into him naked or something like that? What happens then?I swallowed as the thought of him naked crossed my mind. It definitely would be a sight, but… “Wait, when you say build, do you mean that in the literal sense?”He flashed a smile and nodded. “I was waiting for you to notice that for a while now.”My eyes immediately w

Desmond's POV Once we made it out of the crowd, I wrenched my hand out of Brenna’s hold.“Next time you need help, call one of the workers. I am sure you were given a guide when you moved into the guest cabin.”Her face fell. “ It's hard to ask strangers for help. You're the only person I know here and…”“You know James and Helen too. You said you are here for work and to learn, they are the ones you should stick with in that case.”“It's just…”“Also,” I cut in, I was not in the mood to listen to anything she had to say. “I have noticed the way you treat Isabel. She's human, she has a presence and the sooner you treat her like that, the better for everyone involved.”Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. It seemed like she wanted to cook up an excuse, but she must have weighed her pros and cons, then nodded.“I apologize. I'll go find James to help me with the problem and tomorrow I'll apologize to Isabel.”“That will be best for everyone involved.”She smiled softly then wal

I got knocked out after the fit I had for hours in the bathroom, and the next time I opened my eyes everywhere was dark and my stomach was empty, begging for food.Forcing myself up, I managed to get downstairs and hoped Desmond was not anywhere around. I was not in the mood to deal with him, not after the events of today I gritted my teeth when I got close to the kitchen and I could hear sounds coming from there. Deciding that going hungry was probably better than confronting Desmond, I turned to leave.“You're awake!” My brows inched towards my hairline and I turned my head, true to my suspicion, it wasn't Desmond but Denzel and beside him was a girl I’d never seen before.“Denzel? You're still here?”He walked to me and gave me a quick side hug. “I had to make sure you are safe and had something to eat when you wake up. Hope you don't mind the mess I made in your kitchen”I breathed out a laugh and shook my head. “Thank you, Denzel, and ….” using my head, I gestured to the girl,
