All Chapters of Craving the Wrong Brother: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Evelyn's POVMy eyes were permanently glued to my phone, looking at the time and waiting for Scott's call. He said he was going to call me the second he gets to the hospital, that was over an hour and 30 minutes ago.I bit the insides of my cheeks and folded my hands into fists. Why was he taking so long to call? A wicked thought formed in my mind and I felt my heart drop to my stomach. What if he managed to convince Isabel and both of them were somewhere, their tongues shoved down each other's throat?The knowledge that all this was for a reason that involves us all did nothing to quiet my drumming heart. Scott has been weird since Isabel left, I once discarded it as him being worried about what we stand to lose with her gone but lately it didn't feel like it.Unable to sit still anymore, I stood up and began pacing the house. My eyes took turns from my phone to the door, and I could feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead and in my armpits.The room wasn't even hot, but I was bu

“Home…” Desmond muttered beneath his breath as we both pulled into the house and I couldn't help the smile that slowly formed on my face.After 2 and a half weeks of being in the hospital, he was finally discharged. The cast on his arm and hand has been reduced to just a badange, but he was still ordered to just rest.The helpers tried to help me as I helped him up the stairs to his room, but I blatantly refused all forms of help. I needed to make sure he was okay and I can't afford anymore accidentally causing him pain.“You really want to keep me all to yourself.”Heat spread across my face instantly and I almost let go of him, but I stopped myself and helped him into the room. Only when he was comfortably seated on the bed did I step away from him.“You might be home now, but the doctor has given very specific instructions that you rest up.” I reached for the laptop that was on his dresser and carried it.“You're still not allowed to work.”“Do you want me to go bankrupt?”I raised

DesmondThe unfamiliar face of my new PA greeted me the second I stepped into my floor, and I was already irritated.He looked too nervous and I could not afford to have any mistakes or mess ups on my first day back to work after at least 2 months of being away.“What's your name?”“Carson, sir.”“Carson,” I repeated and he just nodded. “Do I have everything I need for the day?”“Yes sir, I've sent a copy of your schedule to your email. I've also arranged the documents you need to go through in the order of urgency and importance.”Impressive.“Thank you, Carson.”His eyes flickered with surprise, but I walked past him instantly and disappeared into my office. After 2 months of being at home recovering and a whole week of Isabel acting like a stranger, it was a breath of fresh air to be back at work.Without wasting much time, I began going through my emails, and like he said, Carson did send the works properly and there was not a single document out of place.I went through the docum

My heart was drumming loudly inside of me and I had to take a zip of water, almost every second to keep my mouth from being completely dry.Nervousness was an understatement to what I was currently feeling about this interview.“Are you Isabel?” My stomach dropped and twisted, but I forced myself to smile as I nodded. I stood to my feet and stretched out my hand for a handshake.“ I am. You must be Ms Layla”She beamed and shook my hand firmly. Then we both took our seats.“Thank you for taking out your time to come see me, I worried other publishers might have snatched you up.”I breathed out a laugh, and took the opportunity to calm myself just a bit. After years of being out of business, it was hard to know which direction was appropriate to stir the conversation in.“Thank you for reaching out as well. I took my time to go over your proposal and it's quite impressive.”“I'm glad you think that.”The company was proposing to publish the book into hard copies and also have a TV ada

Desmond reached up and kissed me, allowing me an opportunity to taste myself on his lips.“I think I understand why you're always so eager to get your face in between my lips,” I whispered against his lips as we slowly broke apart from the kiss.“Is that so?”I nodded and he breathed out a laugh, then gently wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close.“Are you ready to tell me about your day now?”I sighed and buried my face into his chest. I subtly inhaled his scent for a couple of seconds to allow myself to calm down, and when I finally did, I looked up at him. “Good News or bad news first.”“Bad news.’“I want to start with the good news.”“Why then did you ask me?”“The illusion of choice.”He pinched my waist lightly and I squealed, then broke out into a laugh. I nestled closer to him and he rubbed my back softly.“I had a meeting today.’“With?”“I'm getting to that.”“My bad.”I shot him a playful glare and he raised his hand in mock surrender.“I met with a publisher toda
