Novel & Cerita My Brother Adrian Lutton

“What’s up, big bro?” “Lucas,” Adrian said, pulling him into a quick hug. “Mia, this is my younger brother. He’s based in China, running the company’s branch there.” I raised an eyebrow. "I didn’t know you had a brother." "He doesn’t visit often," Adrian explained. Lucas turned to me, extending his hand. “Mia, it’s great to meet you. Don’t let these two scare you—they’re all bark, no bite.” I laughed softly. “Thanks for the warning.”

Why was he saying these things? “She’s been keeping me grounded,” Adrian continued, his voice dropping slightly, as if sharing a private joke. “Don’t you think she’s extraordinary?” Callum’s voice was like a whip, cutting through the murmurs. “What game are you playing, Adrian?” Adrian tilted his head, his grip on my neck tightening slightly before letting go. “No game,” he said, his smile unwavering. “Just introducing someone important to me.” My heart raced, my mind spinning as I tried to make sense of everything. Adrian and Callum were brothers. Adrian had a dark past, one that involved madness and murder. And now, he was using me as some kind of shield—or weapon—in their twisted dynamic.

“Oh, little brother, you wound me.” Lily’s mind reeled. Liam had never spoken about a brother. She had assumed he was an only child, his world built on solitude and shadows. But now, standing before them, was a man who bore an unsettling resemblance to Liam..sharp cheekbones, the same piercing eyes, though his held a flicker of madness. “What the hell do you want, Adrian?” Liam’s voice was dangerously low. Adrian. The name sent a chill through Lily. The way Liam spoke it was laced with years of hatred and unresolved history.

“Because it isn’t relevant.” My jaw tensed. “I think I consider it relevant, Damien.” He looked up, meeting my eyes with a measured calm. “Luca walked away from this family a long time ago,” he said, voice even. “He made his choice. We haven’t spoken in two years.” I studied his face for a moment. “But he’s your brother,” I said softly. “Your blood.” “And he turned his back on that blood.” Damien replied, sipping his wine. “You don’t need to concern yourself with him. He’s just our business partner and that’s all.”

"He called you his brother!" ​"And I loved him like one," Julian replied, his voice soft, almost tender. "Which is why I made sure he didn't suffer. A quiet heart attack in his sleep. No pain. No humiliation in a courtroom." He turned his cold grey eyes to Adrian, who stood like a stone wall in front of me, his fingers still locked around the useless silver folding knife. "You, on the other hand, Adrian... you've been a persistent nuisance. A brilliant boy, but hopelessly romantic."

His words hung in the air as I stared at him stunned, but now Ezra’s face had already lit up. “Yes, Yes,” He said, nodding eagerly. “He’s right. My brother here owns the Lennix group abroad, the biggest tech company abroad, and I'm sorry I didn't let you know, but he is here to build a new venture.” Ezra immediately turned back to me, his eyes hopeful and with a smile. “Why don’t you work under him? Get ideas to grow the company, so your takeover can be smooth.” My chest tightened as I stared at them both.

His loud voice made everyone turn toward him and I raised my head. "What is it, brother? Getting uncomfortable?" I mocked. Adrian glared at me. "This has gone on long enough. End it already!" He snapped. I couldn't help laughing. "Why? Are you tired of watching?" "Lucien, don't push me” he warned. I leaned closer to Bree, deliberately making another movement beneath the covers before looking back at him. "You're the one who insisted on seeing this, Adrian. Now you're complaining because you can't stand watching your brother fuck the woman you rejected?" I asked with a smirk.

"I haven't done either." "No, but the night's young." He grinned, and it was such an unguarded thing that I found myself almost smiling back before I caught myself. "Cassian Veyr. Adrian's brother. Half-brother, if we're being precise, which nobody in this family ever is." "Lily Everhart." "I know. Everyone knows." He reached across the table and stole a candied fig from a dish I hadn't noticed, popping it into his mouth like he'd done it a hundred times before. "You met my dear brother yet?"

She stuck out a finger and poked Adrian's arm to feel how tough it was. "What do you think? Is this muscular enough?" Adrian asked. "Oh, yes it is! You're really muscular all over. I heard you became War Legate Draco at twenty-two, and you've made a lot of contributions to Azure Creek. You're really awesome! My brother was still working on the farm when he was your age." "You have a brother?" Adrian asked. "Yes, I do. He was seven years older than me. But he’s long gone now." "He died?"

"What is it?' I know I shouldn't be asking or saying this but I'm super curious about what he thinks of them. Asking him and knowing his opinion will surely release some of my thoughts from my head. "If…if you find out, I mean hypothetically." I shut my eyes and opened them and gaze at his dark purple eyes. "Your sister…I mean if you find out your sister is your mate, what are you going to do, Adolph." "You mean, my sister? The biological one." Adolph has a pretty younger sister, who loves to brag about her clan. And she's pretty strong too.
