A Wife For My Brother
Sometimes love finds us in the most unexpected places—through the most unexpected person.
At 40, Daniel’s life is a careful balance between raising his three children and running the family business. After losing his wife, he built a cold, impenetrable shell around himself—one he has no intention of breaking.
Deanna, on the other hand, is full of dreams. With just one year left before earning her degree in Arts, she’s focused on one thing: making it to the opera stage. But when her best friend Harry begs for her help, her life takes an unforeseen turn.
An outdated family rule threatens to keep Harry from marrying his pregnant girlfriend. The only solution? His older brother, Daniel, must marry first. To help him, Deanna and Daniel agree to a fake relationship—a temporary arrangement that should have been simple.
But the pull between them is undeniable. She brings warmth into his cold world, while he offers her a love she never expected after a painful breakup. Together, they begin to build something real—something worth fighting for.
Yet, not everyone wants to see them happy. Between outside forces determined to tear them apart and their own fears whispering doubts, their love faces an uphill battle. And with a 15-year age gap standing between them, one question remains:
Can they defy the odds, or will reason win over the heart?

Chapter: Epilogue 18Deanna settled down next to him, watching him sleep. She thanked God a thousand times for still having him with her. She asked that please this not happen again, that please he not leave her alone.Leonard returned with a change of clothes for his daughter. She gave him what she was wearing and asked him to please go to sleep, that whatever happened she would call him. Daniel had not woken up, apparently he was going to sleep for all those hours he had stayed up working.“You always take care of us,“ Deanna said with gratitude in her voice.“I don't take care of him,” her father replied, with a gesture of annoyance.“Yes, you do.”He kissed her on the cheek and left. He was heading out the main entrance when he felt something hit his knee, Daniel's coat folded in one arm. He reached in and found Deanna's phone. “That's not going to help her call me,” he thought. But there was something else besides the phone, a piece of paper.Could it be his daughter's too? He opened it, it was folde

Chapter: Epilogue 17“Where did they take him?“ asked Deanna, as she jumped out of bed.“Hudson Hospital, wait for me,” replied Leonard.But Deanna didn't wait for him; she ran out in her slippers, grabbing the overcoat Daniel had left on a chair and the car keys. “Deanna! Baby!” Leonard shouted into the phone.Deanna couldn't hear him, the phone remained in one of her pockets, but Leonard could hear the car engine starting.“Shit!” exclaimed Reed, raising his arms. He went out to the street to get a taxi. He was closer to the hospital, he'd get there first. He'd better not die, bastard! Two more seconds and he could have let out all that pent-up desire he had to beat him up. And to top it all off, Deanna had left in a hurry, he hadn't had time to explain anything to her. “As if he deserved it, the bastard! He doesn't deserve anything from her!” he said out loud, the taxi driver only watched him in the mirror. Deanna was driving fast. What had happened? God! Please let him be okay! She ended up running

Chapter: Epilogue 16Once again, she had dinner alone with the kids. This streak of bad luck didn’t seem to want to end. She understood that his responsibilities could pull him away sometimes, but all these last-minute emergencies and late arrivals were starting to really wear on her.What was driving him crazy—or rather, who—was sitting right across from him.A small café, tucked away, discreet. Her green eyes were watery again, and her voice was trembling.“You can’t do this,” Daniel said quietly.“I don’t have a choice,” the woman replied.“But…”“I can’t live hiding forever. I know I shouldn’t have done it, I know I made a mistake, but I can’t take it anymore… Especially not now.”“Leaving won’t solve anything… Please…”She looked at him with sadness, but she’d made up her mind.“I’m going back to my parents, I’ll find another job; I know I can do this on my own.”“What happened? What changed?”“Everything changed… I’m leaving in a week.”“You’re rushing this. Let me fix it.”“You can’t fix it. Are yo

Chapter: Epilogue 15“What did that snake want? She’s got some nerve coming all the way here,” Leonard asked.Laura ran out of the dressing room. Leonard had a knack for scaring her off.“Just to complain about what you did with Camila,” Deanna said.“Aha! Looks like your mother-in-law heard… Good, good… With any luck, she’ll finally do something about it. She’s spent way too long pretending nothing’s wrong.”“I don’t know, Leonard…” Deanna didn’t look like her usual self.“What’s wrong, baby?” he asked, concerned.“Nothing… I’ve just got a headache,” Deanna replied, rubbing her forehead.“You’re stressed, Deanna. Want to take a few days off? I can talk to Sacha, give him a call. Stay home,” Leonard offered.“No, no… I’ll be fine.”Deanna looked at him closely for the first time since he’d walked in; he was dressed to the nines, in a brand-new suit, his hair carefully styled and a noticeable scent of cologne. She forgot all about Laura and her threats.“Where are you going?” she asked, eyeing him suspicio

Chapter: Epilogue 14Even though she had her in-laws on her side and knew they would pressure Harry to leave her, Laura still wasn’t at ease. Her limits were slipping. She had been so obsessed with chasing after that woman that she had completely forgotten about Deanna and Leonard. If they spoke out, she’d be cornered—and if Charles found out, he’d move heaven and earth. They wouldn’t give the child to Harry, but they would give her to them. It was the same thing. She could go against Harry, but not against Crusher Sr.The threats toward that woman intensified—more violent, more aggressive. She didn’t just call her anymore—sometimes she waited for her outside work, shouting at her in the street. Unlike Harry, and to her misfortune, the woman had actually fallen in love. So much so that she put up with everything in silence, lowering her head.Many times, she had tried to end things with Harry. Long stretches passed where they were apart. She wouldn’t see him or answer his calls.That’s when Harry started

Chapter: Epilogue 13When Camila called Laura asking her to come over because Charles wanted to talk to her, Laura panicked. What did he want? Did they know? Well, if they knew about Harry and his lover, maybe she could get them on her side—maybe they'd even help her force her husband to leave her. She put Emma in the car and left; the child would serve as a shield or, at the very least, might stir some pity in her grandparents—either way, it worked for her.“Laura! Emma!” Camila greeted them as soon as they stepped through the door.The little girl ran into her grandmother’s arms. Despite all the constant "trips" and the many hands that cared for her day to day, she was full of energy—always smiling, always running, always trying to climb onto furniture. The love she didn’t get from her mother, she received from everyone else.“Hi Camila, how are you?” Laura greeted her.Looking at her, she seemed like the same old Laura from college.“I’m sorry, dear, but Charles wants to speak with you. I had a very un
