She remained seated outside the room, head tilted back, staring at the ceiling. Trying to stop her mind from repeating the same words and images over and over.

The east wing of the hospital was reserved for wealthy patients, each room the size of a small apartment with all the comforts, and outside a furnished and equipped visitors' lounge. There she waited.

Without effort, tears ran down her face, soaking her shirt. She had a very difficult path ahead and wasn't sure if she wanted to walk it. She felt betrayed.

All the Crushers arrived together, hurried and anxious. Daniel entered last and Harry was the first to appear before Deanna.

"What happened?" Harry asked urgently.

    "What do you think will happen now?""What we were waiting for.""How can you be sure?""I can't, I just know. Get the envelope to me... just in case.""He'll come after me!""No, he won't... Get me the envelope and I'll let you know."He was worried about her reaction, her expression, those dull eyes that looked at him in the hospital. But he prepared himself in case his suspicions were true.

    Harry watched his wife as she fed Emma. He had to ask her what had happened with Deanna.Emma fell asleep."Laura, what did you and Deanna talk about yesterday?" He kept his voice calm, but tension tightened his jaw."Why are you asking?" She didn’t look up, focused on adjusting the blanket around Emma."She looked awful. She was crying. Tell me what happened.""I told her what she needed to know, Harry.""Know?""Yes, I told her the whole truth. Everything you never wanted her to find out. About Frank. About why you asked her to marry Daniel. The truth—that you're leaving us because you're in love with her."

    "You do know they're still together, right?""Well... Maybe the envelope is necessary after all.""Let's just leave everything as it is.""Don't be a coward. We've come this far, why stop now?""What are you going to do with that?""I'll make sure they see it... You might want to start getting ready.""You surprise me every time...""I'm just doing what's best for everyone."

  • A Wife For My Brother   I can't Trust you Anymore

    They waited a month for Emma's baptism, and that same month was how long Deanna refused to see or speak to Harry. But the excuses had finally run out because Daniel would be the godfather.She couldn't avoid it—when he saw her again at the church door, arriving with his brother and nephews looking like a perfect family, he felt that familiar ache in his chest. But all those feelings had to fade eventually; he had decided they would.It was Deanna's first time meeting the baby in person, having only seen photos before. Laura insisted she hold her, though it was obvious Deanna had built walls around herself for protection against more pain.But the tiny pink bundle brought a gentle smile to her face, and for a few moments, she forgot everything else. Both men watched her cradling the ch

  • A Wife For My Brother   She looks like You

    Leonard was going crazy, literally. He had been closely following the aspiring Prima Donna through photos published online. The latest ones he'd seen were from Harry's daughter's baptism, and Daniel appeared with her in all of them.He couldn't shake that strange sensation that had lingered since the day he met her. He didn't even know what drove him to keep insisting—maybe wounded pride because she had resisted him, or maybe the idea that she was the right woman for him.He had an episode of desperation when he called Marcus to force him to find her and convince her to return to the theater. His friend refused, and Leonard erupted in anger. All avenues were cut off, with Crusher standing in the middle blocking his path.He was tired of waiting. He had done his part, and nothing was r

  • A Wife For My Brother   I never Needed you

    Leonard's blood ran cold in an instant. The man with the fewest scruples and the least shame suddenly felt like crying. The connection he'd felt with her wasn't physical after all; something deep inside had drawn him to her, and he'd mistaken it for desire. Wanting to die didn't even come close to what he felt in that moment.Everything made sense now. He'd once told Marcus that Deanna sang like an old soul; she was like her mother. His cold and dismissive mother had also sung when his father met her, before forcing her to abandon her career and becoming a bitter woman.Deanna had inherited her grandmother's talent. But the hair and eyes were all Philippa's. He'd always had that nagging feeling of having seen her somewhere before. If he'd bothered to ask for her information from the professor who arranged her auditions, he would have

    It was strange, but she opened the notification anyway. "He's cheating on you," it said. She played the file that barely lasted 3 minutes, but with each second she watched, her chest tightened more."What's wrong?" Leonard asked her.But she didn't respond.Reed stood up and approached her, took the phone from her hand, and then he saw it.The video seemed to have been recorded from a high angle in an office. Daniel's office. There he was, sitting with a woman standing in front of him. Then he touched her and this woman straddled his lap, they kissed, and the next thing was on the desk with Daniel between her legs. Shit! It was Beverly."What's happening?" Philippa began walking toward them

  • A Wife For My Brother   You were Right

    Daniel was growing anxious. She had gone to visit her mother that afternoon but still hadn't returned and wasn't answering his messages. Everyone had arrived quite a while ago; his plan was to try to repair relationships now that the truth was out in the open.Harry cradled Emma while feeling the same unease. Was she avoiding him? Maybe she was deliberately running late so she wouldn't have to show up because he was there. But that wasn't like Deanna—she never hid from confrontation.Someone mentioned a car pulling up. Daniel glanced out the window and saw a vehicle parked at the entrance, but nobody was getting out."Want me to wait?" Leonard asked."I thought you were worried about him seeing you?"

    “But…”“But what, Crusher?”“You and her…”“Oh, please!” He threw his arms up. “Do you think that if we were together, I’d be telling you all this? Yes, I love her… But not that kind of love… I just want her to be happy, and it looks like her happiness is with you…”Daniel watched him, then looked toward the dressing room doors.“Are you still going to hesitate?”“Are you… letting her go?”“I will never let her go!

    Once again, the game of glances, where they spoke thousands of words without saying a thing. The unspoken body language, the small smiles, the hands casually brushing through hair or resting on arms, the subtle movements, the magical feeling of creating an invisible tension in the air that connected them. Daniel’s blood was starting to boil, yet he still couldn’t take a single step toward her.His expressionless face sent one message, but the fire in his eyes sent another. Deanna didn’t understand—was it because of Beverly? Could her fear be true? That he no longer loved her? She bit her lip, hesitating. Why had he come, then? To show her that his love had died and that now he had another woman by his side, someone more suitable?Hours passed, but there was still no reaction from him. She felt her soul slipping a

    The music began; the overture played with power, and the melody was so lively that little Jonathan couldn't help but move his feet to the rhythm. He was filled with excitement—it was his first time seeing it live on stage. It was the first time for all of them.The curtain rose, and the play began.As Daniel had explained to Naomi, there were dialogues, fortunately in their own language. The lyrical parts, however, were in German, but at least they could understand what the story was about.And then she appeared…Beautiful, radiant, powerful. Wearing a white period dress, a smile on her lips, and strength in her voice. The first notes left everyone in suspense, and as the first act unfolded, the energy in the theater became

  • A Wife For My Brother   Sounds of Home

    Opera night was no longer what it used to be in the old days, when it was an occasion for ostentation and a gathering of respected members of society. Now, anyone who could afford a ticket could step into the magical world of the theater. But just this once, every single guest would be an ostentatious, respected member of society. Just this once.That was Leonard’s doing—he had made sure Deanna’s debut in her hometown would be done the old-fashioned way. He had sent invitations to those he deemed influential, to the trendsetters, to political figures—anyone who needed to see her sing. He was proud, and he wanted to share that pride with all those who had once whispered behind her back while watching her.Tonight, they would stand and applaud. They would congratulate her at the after-party. Because he and Marcus ha

    Daniel was also getting ready, but in a very different way. For him, that night was going to be tough and painful—tough because he’d have to endure seeing her with Leonard, and painful because he’d have to fight the urge to hold her. He didn’t know how much he could take and was trying to prepare himself to keep his impulses in check. Ever since he had met her, everything had been a whirlwind of madness for him. She had turned his life upside down, making him fall in love like a foolish boy.The cold man, hidden in his sorrow, imposing and unshakable, had disappeared a long time ago. Only the facade remained—inside, he had completely crumbled. Just seeing her again was enough to make everything around him falter, because to Daniel, she was a violent gust of wind that knocked him down with nothing but her presence. That’s how in love he was, and that&rsq

  • A Wife For My Brother   Nessun Dorma

    Friends are supposed to be unconditional companions that life places in our path so we can share both joys and sorrows. They’re there to lift our spirits when we’re at our lowest or to join us on an adventure. They’re the ears that listen to our dreams and hopes, knowing they’ll tell us the truth, no matter how painful it is. Some even go beyond friendship and become family—the family we choose.Deanna had always been that kind of friend: the reliable one who would listen to you until late at night and then hug you to comfort you. She wouldn’t hesitate to follow you to the ends of the earth in search of the pot of gold, even knowing it didn’t exist. She would marry your brother just to help you build a happy family and would give up many important things just because she considered you even more indispensable. And never, ever, would she betray you

    She felt cornered. Why was he suddenly threatening her like that? Everything they had done, they had done for the same purpose. What had changed? But Leonard was right—if she revealed to Daniel how things had actually happened, she would lose him forever."Why are you doing this now?""Because I need to know what happened, in full detail… Everything… and you're going to tell me, baby. Remember, you're gambling with more than just that idiot—think about his career, your ambitions…""You're a bastard…""I know, I know… You just have to tell me what I want, and you can leave in peace. I have my reasons, and I’m not going to explain them to you… You'll understand…"

    Naomi paced back and forth from the door to the window, anxious. Ethan had sat down with Jonathan, and they were getting dizzy just watching her. Daniel pretended to read some papers, peering over his glasses at the girl, clearly nervous. Beverly stood on the stairs with her arms crossed, wearing an expression of pure displeasure."Naomi, enough already... for God's sake," Ethan said."When is she going to get here?""She'll be here soon. Why are you so anxious? It's just a dress...""You don't understand anything..."Ethan rolled his eyes. He wasn't excited about shopping in the least; he just wanted to go out with Deanna and spend the day together. The little one watched her go back and f
