Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Discarded Heiress: Married To My Ex Fiancé’s Brother: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Lenora I stopped the car, turning to the house I’d reached. Stepping out to her doorway, my heart was heavy, only left with a sole lingering hope.It felt like an eternity had passed after I left what was once my home, Liam ’s scathing words and Amy’s laughter replaying in my head throughout. The people I loved had betrayed me and she was the only one I had left.“Lenora?” Reese asked, looking surprised and confused after she opened the door for me. “What are you doing here? Did something happen?”In the face of her concern and questions, I reached my breaking point. My knees couldn’t hold me up anymore and I collapsed as the sobs I had been holding back for so long broke me. Her arms wrapped around me.“Lenora?” she asked, her voice even more alarmed but I couldn't speak.Without a word I was led into her room.After my tears had waned I told her everything, from finding them cheating to. Reese’s face went from pale to red instantly.“That shameless bastard, both of them. And Amy

LenoraThe Sinclair family. The multi billionaire family with connections through the entire country with riches no other person could touch. Other families, corporations and politicians would crouch at their feet for a sliver of the influence they had. They were powerful beyond any means.And once upon a time, I was the heiress to the Sinclair family. Wealth? Riches? None of that felt like anything to me. Nothing the Hamptons had could come close to what my family had. It wasn't until college that I met Liam that everything changed.And those family bonds? They had been cut out a long time ago, irreparable.”“I can't." I shut my eyes tightly, the memories flooring in, along with the empty space. “Back then, when I left, I had cut all ties with Reese. All bridges were burned. For five years I hadn't had any contact with them. They could reach me at any time, but they wouldn't. I'm as good as dead to them. Even if I wanted to, even if I begged, they would never help me now.”And that

LenoraThe moment we stepped into the decorated party hall, we were subject to everybody's stares.Elias’s hold was the only thing that grounded me. It took everything in me to not falter at the murmurs and looks that filled the hall.He led me towards multiple people, smiling and chatting like everything was normal. I could only nod and smile in return as the guests he met shakily congratulated us.He kept leading me around from guest to guest and slowly the tension in the room slowly waned. It was easier to move in tandem with him and talk to the guests. Even the guests, albeit nervous at first, looked more at ease in talking to us and others and for a moment it felt like this was normal. Like we were actually married.I instinctively squeezed his hand. We were married.There was still no sight of my in-laws as we walked around but it was only a matter of time.“Why are you doing this?” I whispered to him once more,“Aren't you being impatient?” He chuckled, the vibrations sending s

LenoraBy the time the doors slid open, I half expected my knees to give out beneath me.The penthouse swallowed the words right out of my mouth.Floor-to-ceiling windows wrapped around the entire space, the city sprawled out beneath us like something out of a dream. Sleek, modern furniture. Warm lighting. Jaw-dropping paintings and not a single thing out of place.It was truly, truly beyond any words that I could conjure.“Mr. Vance.”A woman appeared from what I assumed was the kitchen, warm and immaculately put together, her smile genuine in a way that caught me off guard.“Marta,” Elias greeted. “This is—”“Mrs. Vance,” Marta finished, turning to me with the same easy warmth, extending her hand to greet me. “It's so good to meet you.”I blinked.Mrs. Vance.She said it so easily. So naturally. Like this is who I’d always been.I shook her hand, my smile faltering slightly as I tried to figure out what to do with the sudden, unexpected kindness in her eyes. It had been a long time

LenoraI lay in bed, staring straight at the ceiling, and I couldn’t help but ask myself—Just what exactly was I doing?My gaze drifted to the window. Morning had already come. I sighed, flopping an arm over my eyes with a groan before reaching for my phone.I’d spent the entirety of yesterday alone in this room, and that asshole couldn’t so much as check on me.Was this really it?I agreed to marry him only to be abandoned just like that?Well…It was whatever.This was more of a mutually beneficial contract than a marriage, and I needed to remember that. Besides, just as Elias had promised, I was provided with everything I needed.The maids brought me breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between. I didn’t even have to lift a finger. I’d been given a laptop connected to the Wi-Fi, books, and just about anything else I could ask for.Truth be told, I’d been treated with more kindness in one day than I had in five years trapped in that hellhole under Liam’s mercy.Speaking of Liam…N
