Ruining My Ex, Loving His Brother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

She scoffed and blinked in disbelief, her face turning red. “ Acting all calm and disciplined and this is where he spends his afternoons? Seriously?” Her face instantly became judgmental. “ Excuse me,” a voice came from behind. Skyler turned around to see another security man, but this one looked so huge like twice her size. She looked up at the tall man. “ Did you need anything?” He asked, voice firm. Skyler cleared her throat, trying to ignore the indistinct moaning sounds. ‘ Focus Skyler, all these are none of your business, you just need to meet him…wait…I'm supposed to still meet him here? In this place?’ Her face twisted in horror with the thoughts going on in her mind. The cheers from the men echoed and so did the smooching sounds coming from different corners. “ Ma'am?” The security voice jolted her out. “ Huh?” Her head snapped up. Her face reddened as she blinked and exhaled shakily. “ I'm.. Looking for someone.” She said, ‘ I can't believe I'm even still st

The moment Ethan was out of her sight, his breath shook heavily. Dizziness spun his head violently that he quickly rested his palm against a wall to steady himself. “ Argh.” He groaned, his head banging from the blinding headache. He quickly reached into his pocket to take his phone and managed to dial David's contact. “ Boss.” David's voice came from the other end of the phone. “ Black Velvet, I need you to come and pick me…now.” “ Yes, sir.” He dropped the phone to his ear, relaxed his back against the wall, and tried to steady his breathing. Ethan could feel his temperature rising, hotness coursing through his veins. His jaw clenched. His knuckles blanched. He swiped his phone open again and dialed Fiona's contact. After two rings, she picked up. “ Ethan?” “ Mo...” He inhaled shakily. “ Mother.” He called, his teeth gritting. “ Ethan, where are you?” “ Are you aware of what this place is, before you send me here?” “ Wh..why?” He heard Fiona stut

Ethan's eyes sharpened, unwaveringly fixed on her. But Skyler hasn't forgotten what he did and said the last time they met. Her eyes were sharp and cold with a smile that didn't reach her mouth. Even though, he's one hell of an annoying man. He still owns the final draw of what she wants. So she forced her smile to broaden. Ethan scoffed, seeing right through that fake smile. “ How is this possible!” Nathaniel’s voice drew her attention back to him. He was glaring dangerously at Mr. Rodrigo like he wasn't just a lawyer. “ How did she have the shares in my company?” He asked, his eyes moving to Skyler. The instant their eyes locked. A cold tension swept across them. “ Those shares were officially transferred to Miss Skyler…” Mr. Rodrigo continues. “...by some of the board members.” “ What?!” Sophia's head snapped to them. Nathaniel looked at his directors in shock. His face twisted in disbelief like he was betrayed. No one was meeting his eyes. They all looked guilty.

“ Whoa, Miss Skyler looks pissed. She didn't even spare me a glance.” Celine, Nathaniel's secretary mumbled to herself. She had watched Skyler walk out of the office earlier, her face hardened and unreadable but she could tell, that nothing nice had gone down in there. Celine didn't really know much about their relationship, but she always knew their marriage was not one on a bed of roses. At least, she knows to a point that Nathaniel does not pick up his wife's calls whenever he's at work. Just as she was settling down in her seat, Sophia stormed by. Furiously barging into Nathaniel's office. “ Ohhh, today's going to be such a longgg dayyy.” She said to herself, making a ‘ I just hope it's not gonna affect me’ type of face. ............ “ You said she wasn't going to come back!” Sophia vented the moment she stepped into the office. She walked towards him, breathing heavily. “ You said..” “ I didn't know she'd come back.” He cut in, still feeling unsettled as he looked up a

It wasn't all about the miscarriage. It was the pain and grief of knowing she'd never be able to conceive again. Minutes later, Skyler found herself sitting opposite Ethan at a cafe. Still unable to believe she had followed him. Some minutes ago, she was being adamant, damn sure she wasn't going to give in just because he asked, especially since this was the same coffee she had been requesting and he had blatantly been saying ‘ no’ to. Yet, here she was, with her fingers wrapped around themselves beneath the table, as if they could somehow hold her together, ground and save her from the drowning weight of something permanent. If only it had been a miscarriage alone. God… at least miscarriages healed. Wounds closed. Time moved on. But the last time she had visited a doctor, for a check-up, for treatments her grandfather put her under. “ We're sorry, Miss Hartley, but getting pregnant again… can only happen by miracle.” Those were the words the doctor had said to her.
