บททั้งหมดของ Rejected Plus-Size Wife, Claimed by My Husband’s Brother: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

Audrey's POV I could barely breathe properly. The humiliation from what Kylie did still burned inside my chest, twisting painfully together with anger and shame.Even with Logan holding me close, my thoughts kept replaying the slap over and over again. The accusations, the look in her eyes, the hatred… everything.“I hate her,” I whispered again, my voice shaking.Logan pulled back slightly just to look at me properly. His hands stayed firmly on my waist while his eyes searched my face.“Look at me,” he said.I tried not to. He lifted my chin upward anyway.“Audrey,” he called and I finally looked at him.His expression had changed completely now. The softness was still there, but there was something harder and sharper underneath it. Controlled anger though.“She embarrassed you, fine. But don't you dare let her ruin tonight for you,” he said.“She slapped me,” I said, as fresh tears burned my eyes immediately.“And?” He asked and I blinked in surprise.“Did you survive it?” he asked

Audrey’s POVBy the time my final speech ended, the energy inside the hall had changed completely.People were laughing, talking, exchanging business cards, and taking pictures beneath the glowing LovePlus sign while music played softly through the room. The nervousness that had almost destroyed me earlier was completely gone now, replaced with something warm and cool. I think it was pride.I still couldn’t fully believe this was mine and LovePlus was real.I stood near the stage with Nia sleeping against my shoulder while Camille discussed something with a group of investors nearby. Kimmie was busy directing staff and making sure everything stayed organized.The event was slowly coming to an end. My feet hurt, my cheeks hurt from smiling and I was exhausted, but I was happy. In fact, I was very happy.Logan approached me from across the room, loosening his tie slightly as he stopped beside me.“Is she asleep?” he asked softly, glancing at Nia and I smiled.“She fought sleep like

Audrey’s POVLogan barely let go of me after that.Even while checking the house again, he kept glancing back at me like he was afraid I would disappear if he looked away for too long.I sat curled on the couch with a blanket wrapped around me while Nia slept against my chest again, thankfully unaware of how bad things truly were.My whole body hurt, my throat burned every time I swallowed and the image of that masked man kept replaying in my head over and over again. Logan returned from upstairs with his jaw clenched tightly.“The police are coming, and the ambulance too,” he said immediately.“Logan…” I called, looking up quickly.“No.” His tone was sharp enough to stop me.“We are not ignoring this,” he added.“I just don’t want a scene,” I replied.“Audrey, someone broke into your house and attacked you,” he said, as he crouched in front of me, eyes blazing with anger and fear. His hands trembled slightly as he brushed hair away from my stitched forehead.“He could’ve killed you,

Audrey’s POVRyan handed me a clean black keycard and a smaller silver key attached to it.“This opens the private elevator downstairs,” he explained patiently. The code has already been registered under your name, so security knows you’re authorized to enter and leave anytime,” Ryan said.I turned the card slowly in my fingers, everything about this still felt unreal.Ryan continued talking while pointing toward the main entrance.“There are cameras all over the building and security on every floor. Nobody gets up here without permission,” he said.“That’s… intense,” I replied.“It’s Logan, he said and I laughed softly because honestly, that explanation alone made perfect sense.Ryan smiled slightly and leaned against the kitchen counter.“You’ll get used to it,” he said.I looked around the big penthouse again. The place still stunned me every time I blinked. The windows alone probably cost more than my old apartment.“There are neighbors too, but you’ll barely see them. Most people

Audrey’s POVThe moment Logan picked up the phone too quickly, something inside me twisted.My smile faded slowly. Logan kept talking casually like nothing had happened, but now I couldn’t stop staring at him…At the phone in his hand, at the way he had hidden the screen immediately.A terrible feeling started creeping into my chest.“Who was that?” I asked quietly.“What?”Logan asked, as he looked up calmly.“The text,” I said and his expression didn’t change.“Nothing important,” he said.That answer immediately made my stomach tighten. Nothing important…that was exactly the kind of thing Matteo used to say.I suddenly felt cold. Logan must have noticed the shift in my face because his expression softened immediately.“Audrey,” he called.“Why are you hiding it?” I asked.“I’m not hiding anything,” he said “You literally snatched the phone,” I said and his jaw tightened slightly.“It wasn’t like that,” he replied.“Then what was it like?” I asked.The warmth from earlier disappeared
