All Chapters of Falling For My Ex-husband's Trillionaire Brother : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Skylar The entire drive home, my thoughts kept drifting back to the black Sedan. I couldn't shake the feeling that someone had been watching me. The moment I'd looked in its direction, the car had driven away. Whoever had been inside clearly hadn't wanted to be seen. My fingers tightened around the blue folder resting on my lap. Who was it? More importantly, why did I have this horrible feeling it might be him? I shook my head, forcing the thought away. No. I wasn't going to let my imagination run wild. The car rolled to a stop in front of the mansion. As soon as I stepped inside, Louisa was there to greet me with her usual composed smile. "Welcome back, Madam. How did it go?" I returned a small smile. "Good. Very well." "I'm glad to hear that." She inclined her head politely. "Lunch is ready. Would you like me to have it served?" I shook my head. "No, thank you." The truth was, I hadn't eaten since breakfast, yet I wasn't hungry. All I wanted was to go upstairs, lie do

SkylarThe drive back to the mansion was painfully quiet.Neither of us spoke.I rested my forehead lightly against the cool window and watched the city blur past, though I barely noticed any of it.The reporters' voices kept replaying in my head."Is it true you married Sebastian Blackwood less than a week after your divorce?""How does it feel replacing one Blackwood brother with another?"I squeezed my eyes shut.I had spent most of my life trying not to attract attention.Growing up, being noticed usually meant I had done something wrong. If people looked at me for too long, it was because they were judging me, criticising me, or whispering behind my back.Then came Alex.Little by little, he made me question everything about myself.The clothes I wore were either "too revealing" or "too tight."Somewhere along the way, I'd stopped trusting my own judgement and started wondering how I looked before I left a room.Even after leaving him, those doubts hadn't left me.And today, with

Skylar"Allow me to introduce my wife."The room fell completely silent.Every pair of eyes shifted from Sebastian to me.I suddenly became very aware of the fact that he was still holding my hand.A man seated near the centre of the table was the first to recover.He offered me a polite smile."It's an honour to finally meet you, Mrs. Blackwood."Almost immediately, the others echoed similar greetings."Welcome, Mrs. Blackwood.""It's a pleasure to meet you."I forced myself to smile despite the nervous flutter in my stomach."Thank you."Sebastian released my hand only after leading me to the chair beside his.He pulled it out for me. I blinked in surprise."Thank you," I murmured quietly.He gave the slightest nod before taking the seat beside me.The meeting began almost immediately. Files were distributed around the table.A large screen at the front of the room lit up with charts, financial projections and architectural designs."This is the revised proposal for the Eastern Comm

SkylarFor a long moment after Lily left, neither of us moved.The bedroom was silent.My eyes remained fixed on the closed door while my heartbeat pounded relentlessly against my ribs.The Blackwoods were here, waiting downstairs."We should go."Sebastian's calm voice broke the silence.I looked up at him.For a moment, I couldn't move. My feet felt rooted to the floor. Slowly, I forced myself to take a step toward the door.He walked beside me without another word.Neither of us spoke as we stepped into the hallway.The silence between us was heavy. Each step toward the staircase made my stomach twist a little tighter.When we reached the top, my courage finally gave out."I-I'm not sure I can do this."The words escaped, my voice was barely above a whisper.I kept my eyes on the staircase below, unable to bring myself to look at him.For a moment, he said nothing.Then, I felt his hand find mine. My eyes widened slightly as I looked up at him.He wasn't looking at me.His gaze rem

Skylar"Take your hands off my wife."Alex froze.Sebastian stood a few steps away, his expression unreadable, but there was something terrifying about the stillness in his eyes.Dangerously cold.In just two strides he closed the distance between us.Without a word, he reached for my wrist. His fingers wrapped around Alex's hand and effortlessly pried it away from me, as though Alex hadn't been gripping me tightly at all.The moment I was free, Sebastian's hand slid gently around mine.With one smooth movement, he drew me behind him.The gesture was so natural that it took me a second to realize what he had done. He was shielding me.My heart pounded against my ribs.Sebastian's gaze never left Alex."The next time you lay a hand on her," he said quietly, "I'll make sure it's the last mistake you ever make."Silence…Alex's expression remained frozen for a brief moment before a bitter scoff escaped him."Relax," he said. "I only grabbed her wrist."Sebastian didn't respond immediatel
