บททั้งหมดของ MY HUSBAND'S BROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH ME: บทที่ 201 - บทที่ 208

[SHATTERED ILLUSIONS]"The most dangerous lies are not the ones we're told—they're the ones we build our lives upon."The mansion had never felt so alive.Not with warmth.With judgment.Every corridor seemed to remember the footsteps of people who had bled for this family. Every portrait lining the marble walls stared down at me like a silent witness waiting for history to repeat itself.The ancient bell beneath the estate had stopped ringing hours ago.Yet its echo refused to leave my head.Welcome home, Stella.The words haunted every breath I took.I stood alone in the east gallery, my fingers wrapped around the brittle photograph Adrian had given me. Three children smiled into the camera beneath a summer sky that none of us remembered.Julian.Adrian.Me.A childhood erased.A family rewritten.A destiny stolen before I was old enough to understand my own name.For years, I'd believed my memories had been taken to protect me.Now I knew the truth.Someone had erased them because

[HEART'S DECISION]"The hardest choice was never between two men. It was between the woman they wanted... and the woman I was becoming."The words shattered something inside me."Your mother didn't die protecting you, Stella.""She died because you ordered it."Silence swallowed the library.No one moved.No one breathed.Even Julian's men—soldiers who had walked through fire without flinching—looked shaken.The woman standing beneath the broken archway smiled as though she had merely commented on the weather.Elegant.Cold.Perfectly composed.Evelyn Drake.The woman whose name had haunted whispered conversations.The architect behind the Obsidian Circle.She studied me with the satisfaction of an artist admiring a masterpiece hidden beneath dust."My poor child."Her voice was almost affectionate."They erased your memories so thoroughly that even you believed you were innocent."My pulse thundered."No."The denial escaped before I could stop it."I would never—""You already did."

[FORBIDDEN EMBRACE]"Sometimes the embrace you fear most is not the one that traps you—but the one that finally lets you go."Smoke drifted through the shattered windows of the eastern wing.The mansion had fallen silent.Not because the danger had passed.Because everyone was waiting for the next betrayal.The bells that had echoed across the city were gone, replaced by an oppressive stillness that settled over the estate like ash after a wildfire.I stood alone on the rain-soaked balcony overlooking the dark gardens.The wind carried the scent of burned cedar and wet stone.

[DANGEROUS PEACE]Peace was supposed to feel safe. Instead, it felt like the moment before someone pulled the trigger.The mansion had never been this quiet.No guards shouting in the corridors.No gunfire beyond the gates.No hurried footsteps behind closed doors.No one screaming my name.And somehow, that frightened me more than the chaos ever had.I stood at the library window, staring at the grounds.The rain had stopped.Mist covered the gardens, swallowing the statues and black iron gates until the estate looked suspended between two worlds.Behind me, Julian and Adrian occupied opposite sides of the room.They hadn't spoken to each other in almost an hour.That alone felt like a miracle.Or a warning.The photograph from the previous night lay on the table.The woman who looked like me.The child wearing the broken crown.The words written on the back.You were never the only heir.I had read them so many times that the letters had begun to feel burned into my mind.Adrian fin
