All Chapters of My CEO brother wants me : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

AUTHOR A few minutes later, Ava and Stella stepped back out.Ava had changed out of the racing suit, her hair was slightly messy now, but her face was still glowing from the adrenaline and excitement.Stella was still talking and going on about the race, clearly not done reliving it.The moment they approached, the attention shifted back to them again.Fred straightened. “Ah, the star of the evening returns.”Ava laughed. “Please don’t start.”“Too late for that.” Jason said while grinning.Paul gave her a small nod. “Well done. Seriously.”Sheila smiled at her again. “You’re coming back next time,” she said. “That’s not even a question.”Ava blinked, then laughed. “We’ll see.”The group slowly made their way out of the paddock and toward the car park.The evening air was cooler now. The conversation flowed easily between them, filled with laughter and teasing as they walked.Lucien stayed close to Ava, his pace naturally matching hers. When they reached the cars, he guided her towar

Ava’s POVThe moment they got closer, Fred was already shaking his head.“I still don’t understand how you pulled that off,” he said, looking straight at me. “First time and you come second? That’s suspicious.”I laughed. “It was beginner’s luck.”“Luck doesn’t take corners like that,” Jason added, dropping into his seat. “You actually knew what you were doing.”Stella nodded quickly beside him. “Exactly! I’ve been saying that since we left the track.”Paul gave a small smile as he sat down with Sheila. “Well, whatever it was,” he said, “it worked.”Before the conversation could go further, two waiters approached the table, both polite and composed.“Good evening,” one of them said. “May we take your order?”Everyone started ordering one after the other.Paul went first, then Sheila. Jason and Stella followed, still laughing between themselves. Fred didn’t even look at the menu for long before placing his order, his date doing the same.I picked something simple, still scanning the me

AVAI didn’t turn immediately.He stepped closer, moving in front of me. His hand slide from my wrist to my arm, pulling me back so I had to face him.He looked both confused and concerned.“What is it?” he asked.“Nothing,” I said. It came out too quickly.I tried to pull my hand free, turning to walk away, but he didn’t let go.“Ava.”I avoided his eyes, “I said I’m fine.”I tried again to move, but his grip tightened on my arm. He exhaled, then he stepped closer.“I’m not good with this,” he said in a low tone.That made me pause.“I don’t read things the way other people do,” he continued as his gaze fixed on me. “So if something is bothering you…say it.”“I told you, it’s nothing,” I said again, but this time it didn’t sound as convincing.He watched me for a moment, then loosened his grip a little. “You’re lying,” he said and my chest tightened immediately.“I’m not-”“You are, you tried to walk away without looking at me,” he continued. “You’re avoiding me now.”I looked down,

AVA The next time I opened my eyes, everything felt… unfamiliar. For a minute, I didn’t move. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying to make sense of where I was. The bed beneath me was too big and the sheets were black. I blinked slowly, touching them. “Yeah… this is definitely not mine.” I pushed myself up a little, looking around. The room didn’t look familiar at all. Everything was perfectly arranged and neat with soft colours and a very classic feel. The walls were decorated with artistic paintings. The furniture was dark, polished, everything placed with precision. "Where am I?” I groaned softly, bringing a hand to my head as memories from last night came rushing back in pieces. The race...the restaurant...Lucien. I sat up quickly. “Ah!” I winced again, as headache hit me. Then I looked down at what I was wearing and froze. This wasn’t my outfit. I was in a shirt, which was way too big for me. But underneath, my white top from yesterday was still there.

AVAI settled for a sundress, then headed downstairs.Lucien was already in the dining hall, seated at the head of the table.His eyes were closed, like he was meditating but something about the way he sat told me he wasn’t really relaxed.Everything around him was perfectly arranged. The table setting, the chairs, even the distance between each item, it all looked measured.There were four workers around him, including the woman from earlier. The moment they saw me, they all straightened and bowed.“Welcome, madam.”I paused, caught off guard.“Oh...um… thank you,” I said with a small smile.I still wasn’t used to that.Lucien opened his eyes. “You're here,” he said calmly, taking me in.I walked toward him. “Hmm,” I hummed, then took the seat beside him.It was only when I sat down that I noticed he was wearing a casual grey t-shirt. It made him seem less intimidating, still Lucien, just soft around the edges.“How is there a whole closet of clothes just for me and all in my size?”
