All Chapters of Married To My Enemy’s Brother : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Don't shut me out, Eva."Damian didn't raise his voice, but the low, heavy weight of it filled the back of the SUV. He sat beside me, broad shoulders tense beneath his dark suit, his eyes burning into mine with an intensity that made it hard to breathe.I kept my gaze locked on the rain sliding down the window. "Take me back to the hotel.""Look at me," Damian said softly. When I didn't move, his warm, broad hand slid up the back of my neck. His thumb rested gently beneath my jaw, forcing my head around until I had no choice but to look at him.His touch scorched my cold skin. The dark intensity in his eyes made my chest ache."Ryan twisted the truth down there to mess with your head," Damian said, his grip firm but careful. "Six years ago, your father was drowning. I took over his debt contract so Ryan’s side of the family couldn't strip him clean. I didn't sell you to anyone, Eva. I tried to keep you safe long before you ever walked into my life.""You still put my name on a contra

"Tell me my father was a liar."I held out the illuminated phone screen, my hand trembling as the glowing text of my father’s deathbed letter burned between us in the quiet room.Damian’s dark eyes swept over the words, his face going entirely pale. The ruthless CEO who could command an empire in his sleep suddenly looked as if he had been struck across the chest."Eva..." he rasped, taking a step toward me."Did you do it?" My voice cracked, raw and bleeding with six years of buried grief. "Did you order his liquidation three weeks before he lost everything? Answer me, Damian!"Damian didn't look away. He didn't offer a sleek corporate excuse. He stepped straight into my space, his heavy hands coming up to gently frame my face. His palms were warm, trembling slightly against my skin as he tilted my head up."Yes," Damian whispered, his dark eyes filled with a helpless, agonizing sincerity that shattered my breath. "I signed the order. But it wasn't to destroy him, Eva. I swear on my

Get out.My voice didn't shake, but those two words cut through the suffocating silence of the suite like a blade.I stood paralyzed beside the desk, my fingers gripping the cool edge of the wood so hard my knuckles turned white. My eyes burned, hot and heavy with tears that threatened to spill, but I jammed my teeth together and swallowed the sob rising in my throat. I refused to cry. I refused to show a single drop of weakness in front of him.Damian didn't step back immediately. Standing at well over six feet, his massive frame towered in the dim light, the powerful CEO who commanded an entire corporate empire now looking down at me with raw, aching restraint. The air between us felt heavy enough to choke on, thick with secrets that had just ripped my world apart.Eva, listen to meWhat did I just watch, Damian?!" I turned my head, staring straight into his face, my voice cracking under the weight of a thousand shattering realities. "That the man who raised me... the man I called m

"Touch her again, Ryan, and I'll bury you before Alive.Damian didn't wait for a response. He covered the distance between them in two lethal strides, his large hand snapping around Ryan’s wrist with bone-crushing force.A sharp crack echoed through the rain as Damian twisted Ryan's arm back, forcing him to release my soaked coat. Before Ryan could even scream, Damian’s heavy fist slammed directly into the side of his jaw.The impact sounded like a dropped stone. Ryan was lifted off his feet, crashing hard onto the wet stone steps."Damian, stop!" I gasped, my throat tight as the rain blinded my eyes.Damian didn't hear me. He was a creature of pure, unbridled violence now. He stepped over Ryan, grabbed him by the collar of his expensive suit, and yanked him up only to drive a devastating knee straight into his ribs. Ryan let out a pathetic, wet choke, coughing blood onto the white marble. Damian threw him against the heavy front door, his hand clamping around Ryan's throat, shutting

"I don't need your pity, Damian. I don't need anyone right now. Just let me be My own voice echoed in my head as I pulled my hand back, stepping out of Damian’s reach the second his elevator doors slid open in the hotel lobby. He had tried to grab my arm, his dark eyes frantic, asking where I had been and why my face looked so ghost-white. But I couldn't look at him. Every word Victoria had spat in my face—cheap slut, gold-digger, broken woman—was still ringing in my ears like a loud, violent alarm.I turned my back on him and ran, my legs moving on complete autopilot until I reached the hotel suite.The heavy wooden door clicked shut. The deadbolt snapped into place.And just like that, the quiet swallowed me whole.The blanket of silence was too heavy, too thick. My hands began to shake violently as I dropped my purse onto the floor. I took two steps toward the center of the room, but my knees gave out completely. I hit the floor hard, my knees smashing against the cold wood, but I
