All Chapters of Forbidden Love wtih my Ex-Husband's Billionaire Brother: Chapter 131 - Chapter 139

✧🦋✧ Giselle ✧🦋✧Joseph’s hand wrapped around mine right away, tugging me gently but firmly a few steps away from Esther and Jeffery. “Give them some time to talk,” he said softly.I glanced back over my shoulder just as the elevator doors slid shut. God, I really hoped they could work things out.Whatever went down last night had clearly transformed Esther. She looked completely different like she just dropped from another planet.My heart warmed at the fact that Jefferey might just be the man to bring out the woman in her. It’s good that she’s strong but seeing her like an innocent girl makes it all so interesting.The second we stepped out of the elevator, Joseph transformed. The warm, loving guy who’d held me close and kissed me like I was his whole world vanished.In his place stood the CEO, sharp, focused, and totally in command. His face hardened, shoulders squared, every inch of him radiating powe

 ✧🦋✧ Giselle ✧🦋✧ I swallowed hard, pushing down the storm of confusion swirling inside my chest, and sank onto the sofa in Joseph's sleek Manhattan office.A couple of curious glances came my way from the team as he quickly wrapped up the meeting in under five minutes. Through it all, my eyes stayed locked on him.He sat there so commanding, every line of his face sharp with focus, and it made my heart ache with want. That voice of his saying my still legal name, "Mrs. Macmillan," still lingered, warm and intimate, nothing like the usual sister-in-law or Gigi.It pulled up every raw memory from last night, flooding me with heat and a deep, scary longing I couldn't shake.What had he done to me? My body remembered every touch, every whisper, leaving me restless and hungry in ways that felt almost too dangerous.Did he ache for me the same way, or was I alone in this? His face stayed cool and professional, but I needed to

✧🦋✧ Joseph ✧🦋✧I had no idea if she was genuinely curious of just wanted to hear I from me. I let out a low chuckle. “Because I figured there’s no reason for you to change your last name, and also, I saw how some of the managers were stealing glances at you. They had to know that you already belong to someone.” The tension I’d seen building in her shoulders melted away right then and there. Having my brother as her ex definitely had a few silver linings. The pure relief on her face made me grin wider, but then another thought hit me. “So what’s really going on here?” I asked, glancing through the documents and landing on the big question mark she placed on where something very important was supposed to be.“Still haven’t found that wow fragrance yet?” The smile completely faded from her face, and that’s when I really saw it, the uncertainty clouding her eyes, the heavy frustration, and all the weight she’d been carrying by herself. She lowered her gaze and let out a soft, shak

 ✧🦋✧ Jeffery ✧🦋✧I’d been completely hooked on Esther from the second I saw her in that dress at Joseph’s penthouse. That image had burned itself into my brain and refused to leave.Most people only saw the tough side of her, the fearless woman who’d throw herself in front of Giselle without a second thought, the stunt double who took every dangerous hit and always got back up swinging.She walked around with this confident armor on, ready to face down trouble the moment it showed up. But that night at Joseph’s, I got to see something else entirely.She looked so beautiful it almost hurt. Not just pretty, but soft and real in a way that knocked the air out of me.I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about it since. I’d already made a mental note to buy her a whole closet full of dresses, not because she needed them, but because I was dying to see that gentle, unguarded side of her again.So when Joseph texted asking me to pick

 ✧🦋✧ Esther ✧🦋✧The way Jefferey laid out his feelings caught me completely off guard. It wasn’t some big dramatic speech or overwhelming rush of emotion.He somehow managed to put everything on the table while still giving me space to breathe, which only made it harder to figure out what to say. Instead of pushing for an answer right away, he left the door open, and that quiet patience settled deep in my chest.I let out a slow breath and finally looked at him. “I’ll think about it.”His eyes softened, warm and understanding, as he waited for me to keep going.“But before I decide anything, I need to talk to Gigi first.” I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear, trying to steady my thoughts. “And even if I do come work for you, it won’t be until after the product launch. I’m almost positive Ken’s going to show up and cause trouble.”This time Jefferey didn
