Forbidden Love wtih my Ex-Husband's Billionaire Brother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

✧🦋✧Kennedy✧🦋✧My voice came out all wrong, rough and cracked. It felt like the floor had shifted under my feet. I heard the words. I understood them. But my brain kept rejecting them, like they couldn’t possibly be real.She’d pulled the patent. Before she walked. Which meant every card I thought I was holding had just vanished. I’d been bluffing this whole time and didn’t even know it.Her smile didn’t budge. Didn’t even flicker. That calm, composed look on her face was the most infuriating thing I’d ever seen, and I’d seen it before, right before she completely outplayed someone who thought they had her all figured out.“If you didn’t know,” she said, voice still perfectly even, “that tells me you haven’t been paying attention to what’s actually going on with the company. Which means you’ve probably got way bigger problems than me right now.”She wasn’t wrong.Without that patent, a huge chunk of the fragrance line was basically dead. We couldn’t sell it, couldn’t license it, coul

✧🦋✧ Giselle ✧🦋✧The muscles in Ken’s face tightened up even more. I could practically see every word slamming into him.“Maybe that’s why it never happened. Because if I had gotten pregnant, I’d be waking up every single morning staring into the eyes of a little version of you.”His face went pale. It was clear his defenses had crippled because even as his mouth opened, no words honored it.The crowd that had gathered outside the courthouse got real quiet, hanging on every word. I didn’t care one bit. For years I’d kept all this pain bottled up tight. Today, I was finally letting it pour out.I lifted my chin higher. “And honestly? I thank God every day for protecting me from that. Because now there’s nothing left tying me to you.”The words hung there between us, heavy, final, and so damn real.Kennedy just stared at me for a long moment, like he couldn’t believe what I was saying. Like he couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that I wasn’t begging him to stay.But that old versio

 ✧🦋✧ Joseph ✧🦋✧I knew the flowers weren’t going to fix anything. They were stunning, yeah, but Giselle wasn’t the type of woman you could just distract with expensive gifts.She’d already lived that life. During her marriage to Ken, she’d been spoiled in plenty of material ways, but money had never been the real problem.The real problem was everything else. He was never there when she needed him most—when her family heirloom was about to get auctioned off, when she was desperate for support, for comfort, for her husband. Instead, he’d chosen someone else and left her to pick up the pieces.Looking at her standing right in front of me now, I could see exactly how much his words had wrecked her.Her eyes were glistening with tears she was fighting like hell to hold back. My chest tightened painfully.Every instinct I had screamed at me to pull her into my arms and tell her she didn’t h

✧🦋✧ Giselle ✧🦋✧I knew I should’ve pulled away the second that kiss deepened, but I couldn’t. That had been the plan. Just a quick, light kiss, something harmless to ease the tension between us and fulfil my promise.At least that’s what I’d told myself right before Joseph’s lips met mine. But the moment it happened, everything shifted. The kiss turned hungry, intense, and I was completely lost in it.My fingers curled tight into his jacket as my heart hammered wildly against my ribs. I could barely think straight, barely catch my breath. All I knew was that I didn’t want it to stop.His hand stayed cupped against my face, warm and steady, while the entire world melted away, the beautiful flowers, the private room, the bustling city outside. None of it existed anymore.There was only him, only the heat of his mouth on mine, the way his body pressed close, and the overwhelming pull that made every inch of me com

 ✧🦋✧ Giselle ✧🦋✧I was right in the middle of savoring my dessert when Joseph dropped another huge bombshell on me."When Ken first brought you home, I saw you from upstairs and immediately locked myself in my room," he said.My spoon froze halfway to my mouth. I slowly lowered it and just stared at him, my heart already pounding from everything he'd unloaded on me today. Somehow, he kept finding new ways to shake me to my core."Why would you do that?" The question tumbled out before I could even think to hold it back.Joseph's jaw tightened, and for a long moment he looked away like the memory still cut deep after all this time. Then his eyes came back to mine, raw and unguarded."Because I didn't want you to marry him." His voice came out rough, stripped of any pretense. It rose with real emotion, cracking through that calm mask he usually kept on. The redness around his eyes made my chest squeeze tight with a heavy ache.
