《Marrying The Wrong Brother》全部章節：第 121 章 - 第 130 章

I had been cut off from the rest of the world for the last couple of days for obvious reasons. And Maya had been holding it down at the office and for any official duties that would have required my attention. So when she called me that Sunday night, I knew it was something out of her control. "Hey Maya," I said, trying to sit up as I picked the call but Zane held me down. He didn't want me to leave his side for whatever reason. "You haven't checked your socials have you?" She asked. "Nope. What is it this time?" I spoke very casually. Maybe there was something about being in love and thoroughly laid that made you as calm as a dove because that was exactly where I was at."Veronica started yet another propaganda. She claims that any moment from now you two would announce your divorce, proving her right from the beginning.""And she went on air to say this?" I asked. "Yes. She has a whole statement on her page. It's raking in the numbers.""That's fine.""Um, we're not going to

The train station wasn't a place you'd typically find me.It had a dark aura that threw me off or anyone for that matter. Or maybe it was because I was just too privileged.But when I received that message, I had no choice but to be here. So I parked at what I assumed was a safe distance and walked into the station that was buzzing with several people.I looked around, swallowing the lump in my throat as the realization of what this could mean for Sloane and I dawned on me.I found myself by the train tracks in a matter of minutes. I looked around, my eyes rapidly searching for her. It took a while but then I spotted her unmistakable figure.I walked over and she stood there, waiting as I got closer. Her expression was unreadable but there was a glint in her eye that looked very familiar. "Rebecca...""Hello, Zane."~The drive back was filled with unspoken words. I had a lot of questions but I didn't know where to start from or how to put them. She sat in the passenger's seat, b

There was a woman standing outside our gate.She was beautiful. Beautiful in a way that looked like she knew it and was capable of anything with it. Like she knew how to rope everyone that came her way around her fingers. She was beautiful in the sense that she was possibly the villain in some woman's story. Probably about to be mine. I turned to Zane. He seemed frozen, eyes fixated on the angry brunette who argued with our security at the entrance. "Who is that?" I asked him.But he didn't answer. Maybe he was too lost in his daze to tell me or he was possibly ignoring me.The driver honked for the gate to be opened. They did and she slipped in behind us as the vehicle went in.When I got down from the car, I saw her struggling with the security as they tried to take her out.Before I could speak, Zane yelled for them to stop.My eyes followed him wordlessly as he walked towards them, said a few words I couldn't hear and yanked this strange woman's hand, bringing her towards me.

The reminder of the possibility of a court order reaching my desk any moment from now loomed over me. There was something about being sued that ruined your day. Especially when it had to be over such a delicate matter. One wrong move and the judge would rule against you. It could all go left in a matter of minutes. I feared I hadn't been a good enough co-guardian and it would ruin our chances especially for Zane who had wanted this for so long. But any other thing I could do felt performative. For now, I just had to wait. So I did what I always did when I didn't know what else to do. I worked. I spent the next hour going through the reports my finance team had sent over. The numbers for the last quarter were better than expected, but the projections for the next one weren't as promising. I frowned at the spreadsheet in front of me. “Why is the West Coast distribution cost up by twelve percent?” I asked. I looked across the table at Daniel, our head of operation

I called Theo to let him know about the situation with Chloe. She was getting better. But with Rebecca somewhat in the picture with a looming court case, I wondered if not telling her was the right thing to do. Her temperature had come down, and the doctor had assured us that there was nothing serious to be worried about. We still had to keep an eye on her for the next few days, but at least the worst of my fear had passed.I stepped out of the hospital room before making the call.I didn't want Chloe waking up and seeing the worry on my face.Theo answered on the third ring.“She's stable?”I nodded even though he couldn't see me. “Yes. Her fever is down now.”“Good.”I leaned against the wall.“But there's something else.”He was quiet for a moment before speaking again. “Rebecca.”I didn't need to say her name.“She's been calling,” I said. “We haven't told her Chloe is here.”“Does she know Chloe was sick?”“Not that I know of.”I rubbed the back of my neck. “But I'm beginning t
