Brotherly Fortress After Divorce Novels & Stories

Ryker whispered, his tone dangerously low and excruciating. "This is what I meant when I said you won't be able to get rid of me that easily." I scoffed in a badgering tone, trying to keep my voice coherent but it's hard to because I just kissed my sister's husband, Ryker, the man I've hated all my life. "What? You just kissed me at your sister's funeral? How low can you sink?" "Low enough that I'm ready to do anything to keep my parents' company alive." I snapped back at him, holding my real intentions at the tip of my tongue.

When my in-laws came up to curse me, their faces red with rage, my brother didn't hesitate. Slap! Slap! He slapped each of them as well. Across their faces. Hard enough to sting. To humble. They stumbled back. Shocked into silence. I looked at them coldly. My voice was ice. "Derek and I are divorced. As of today. This is Emma's and my home. We own it. You're the ones who should leave!" My mother-in-law's face showed panic. She looked around at the warriors surrounding us. Seeing we outnumbered them badly, she began throwing a tantrum instead. Playing the victim.

, Her brother’s voice was clear and steady and for some reason, made her feel much better, even though she couldn’t exactly place why she wasn’t feeling great initially. “Hey Doc, how was your surgery?”, she asked as she always did when her brother had to go into the operating room. “Great actually. The patient is awake and speaking, no complications ma’am”, he answered lightheartedly, and Elara smiled. “Good, congrats. Have you spoken to Mom?” “Yes, I have. Heard about your little hysteria”, Elias chuckled and Elara groaned. “I was worried, okay? Sue me”. “I get you, love”, he was still laughing. “How was your test? Did you eventually study the section on morality?” Elias was very invested

About what I hoped to accomplish. "I understand you went through a difficult divorce recently," Jessica said gently. "Yes. My ex husband had an affair and committed financial crimes against my family." "That must have been devastating." "It was. But it also freed me. Forced me to remember who I was before I became someone's wife." "And who is that?" I smiled. "An architect. A daughter. A friend. Someone who wants to help people." "You are also newly married. To your ex husband's brother." "Yes. Benjamin saw me when I could not see myself. He believed in me when I stopped believing. He is my partner in every sense of the word."

he repeated, cutting her off with a sharp edge that left no room for argument. Without waiting for a reply, Lucas turned and marched down the corridor toward his private study, slamming the door shut behind him. The moment the lock clicked, the suffocating weight of Kim’s words crashed back down onto his chest. I want a divorce. It echoed in his ears. She hadn't cried nor begged like she used to. "Damn it, she is seriously asking for a divorce," Lucas snarled, sweeping a stack of files off the table.

Allyssa looked at her in amusement. "Am I that obvious? I'm not you. I don't understand the relationship between you and your brother-in-law. I just wanted to say that you don't have to be afraid of financial problems after a divorce and no place to live. If brother-in-law pesters and threatens you, I'll let William beat him. " "Got it." I feel that if you weren't a doctor, you would definitely be a competent female hooligan and fighter, always wanting to hit someone. "

“What does that even mean?” Natalia strutted over to where she stood and smiled maliciously. “It means everyone was in on the plan except you, the foolish little girl who was blinded by love. Hardin never loved you. How could you even believe he broke up with me just to be with you, huh? Dad found out about the will just in time, and once we all knew seventy percent of all the shares were to go to you when you were married for at least two years, we had to secure it for ourselves.”

Grandpa Saxon looked at Penny and said, “Granddaughter, please don’t allow this young man to control your life. You need to have a good talk with him. Who knows what will happen after you become his wife?” Mr Miller nodded his head and replied, “That’s true, Mr Saxon. One of the promising young men in my company destroyed his marriage by alienating his young wife from her family. He forbade her from visiting them. The time they went for counseling, it was too late. He promised to change, but his wife had enough. She filed for a divorce and left. Maybe, since Storm is not your biological brother, he saw him as a threat.” Penny looked at Grandpa Saxon and replied, “I will talk to him, Grandpa.

“What about him?” “Is he a widower?” “Not at all. He divorced his wife.” “What! The woman must have pushed him to the wall.” “That was an understatement. She forced him into taking such a drastic step.” “Was there a fight between them?” “A fight? My brother does like strife. He is just like you. He avoids trouble as much as he could.” “You are right. I noticed that the first time I met him. But such people can be brutal when provoked.”

he glanced at his wristwatch as he settled into a chair. I thanked my stars for that, I wasn't sure how much longer I could take the awkward and suffocating air in the room. All three brothers staring at me like I was a shiny trophy wasn't helping matters either so the sooner the meeting was over, the better. “I’ve decided that I’ll be divorcing Scarlett’s mother, we’ve both been married several times and I think it's unfair for us to get in the middle of young love especially since neither of you are related by blood and there's a mate bond involved,” he sighed thoughtfully, glancing at each of his sons and taking note of their relieved expressions.
