Possessed By My Ex’s Brother-in-law 소설 & 이야기

"He knew from the beginning that the fertility problem was not yours. He destroyed two years of your confidence and your hope and your sense of yourself as a potential mother, deliberately and with planning, because he needed you to believe the failure belonged to you." The coffee shop moves around me, someone at the next table is talking about a project deadline. A child near the window is negotiating with its parent over something small and important. The world proceeds, ordinary and indifferent, and inside it I am sitting across from my ex-husband's brother and receiving the confirmation of something I suspected but never let myself fully believe.

"You've got it bad. Never thought I'd see the day Dante Marino would be whipped by a girl. Especially not his sister." "Step-sister," I corrected automatically. "And I'm not whipped." "Sure you're not." Jax's smile was insufferable. "That's why you threatened to break Miguel's fingers for offering her a drink." I shrugged, not bothering to deny it. "He was being disrespectful." "Right." Jax rolled his eyes. "As for her being interested in other men, what about the ex? Is that a real concern?" I felt my jaw tighten. "Just the thought of her ex-boyfriend makes me want to put my fist through a wall."

Originally, my straightforward admission didn't mean much, but Alexander's question changed everything. His eyes were pitch-black, as if probing into the depths of my soul, unraveling all the unknown secrets. My heart raced, as if something long ignored was now sprouting. Startled, I averted my eyes. My fluttering eyelashes failed to conceal my unease. My mouth opened and closed several times before I finally blurted out, "You're my ex-husband's brother..."

The crazy kind where he devoured me raw like the beast he was. But oh my goodness! What have I done? For a moment no one moved his piercing eyes locked on me, my hands trembling. I lost my virginity to my ex alpha brother, what was I thinking? I just stared at him, my heart hammering against my ribs. I have to get out of here before he recognizes me. Without thinking I jumped out of the bed, hitting my chest against his and instantly his towel came loose and fell to the ground, and my eyes dropped there.

“It’s my father’s company too. I have every right to be part of it.” I could feel the blood rush to my head. Fury clawed its way up my spine. “You cheated on me with my best friend, Adrian. You humiliated me. You left me shattered,” I hissed. “And you’re sitting here asking me to beg your brother to hand you back power? What kind of sick delusion are you living in?” His mouth tightened. “This isn’t about us. It’s business.” “No,” I snapped. “This was never just business. You made it personal the moment you touched her. The moment you looked me in the eyes and lied through your teeth. You think you can use me to clean up your mess?”

Roman fired back. “Roman—” “Tessa—” he cut her off sharply. “Please. The papers.” Tessa shook her head frantically, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I can’t. I won’t. I won’t throw away our marriage without even trying to work it out.” “We can’t work it out,” Roman finally snapped, the last thread of his control fraying. “And that’s the problem. You didn’t just lie or do some minor shit. You slept with my brother, Tessa. There’s no going back from that.”

“What did my brother do to get you back here?” “What he does best,” I said bitterly. “He took over my life. He's deemed me legally insane and taken over my bank account," I sighed. Mostly in frustration. “He wants to ‘spend time’ with me, and he knew the only way to make me agree and play nice with him while I stayed was if he had something over me,” I replied with a dry laugh. Carlisle chuckled bitterly. “My brother is like a child. He always wants what he can’t have. And you... You’re probably the only woman who’s ever told him no.”

I glared at my brother. "Are you stalking me?" I'm beyond pissed. "Don't flatter yourself brother, It's Zach, he's been snooping around a lot." He pushed a glass towards my direction pouring vodka in his glass before passing it over to me. I pushed the glass back, I'm not going to have a drink with him like we are cool. We are not. "You can't blame him, you killed his sister, your wife," I yelled at him. "Ex and she committed suicide." Oh, I almost forgot the lie.

Rain was reminding me of the intensity of this act between him and me. The fucking realization that him—my brother-in-law, Rain—had his fingers buried inside me, his sister-in-law, while I was fucking naked in the same showroom where thousands of people usually had their clothes fitted. Not to mention the same showroom where I had been humiliated by Black. “Tell me, sister-in-law—you love your brother-in-law Rain’s fingers in here, don’t you?” He pushed his finger further in. The forbidden act seemed so right in my mouth. “Yes… yes, yes. I fucking do.”

I burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the silence. "So this was the fate she was talking about," I mused, a sly smile spreading across my face. "A complicated fate, indeed - betrothed to my ex-husband, and his half-brother asking me out." I stood up, my eyes glinting with determination. "It's very complicated, isn't it?" I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. A wry smile plastered on my lips. "Maxwell, I'm sorry," I continued, my tone turning cold. "I don't want anything to do with your family, but you'll have to become a pawn in this game now. I need to use you to get to Knoxville."
