BETRAYED BY MY HUSBAND, I FELL FOR HIS BILLIONAIRE BROTHER Chapter 7: Behind Closed Doors
~~Lexi~~Stepping into Ethan's office felt like entering a cosy little haven, complete with the soothing hum of the air conditioning and the delightful scent of coffee wafting through the air. The place was spacious and stylish, with those massive windows showing off the city skyline like it was a million-dollar painting. Ethan, perched behind his grand desk, looked up and flashed me a smile that could light up a room—seriously, those blue eyes were hard to ignore. As I sank into one of the plush chairs, I tried to shake off the intimidation factor that often comes with powerful people. But as we chatted, I found myself drawn in by his charm and sharp mind; he had this way of making me feel like I could spill my guts without judgment. Yet, beneath that suave exterior, I sensed a deeper complexity, a hint of vulnerability in his gaze that made me wonder what secrets he was hiding. When he stood up and offered his support, looking me dead in the eye, I felt a flutter in my chest—like,

~~Lexi~~In my office, the weight of Ryan's betrayal pressed heavily on my chest, rendering me incapable of focusing on the documents sprawled before me. Just as despair began to cloud my thoughts, the phone rang, jolting me back to reality. It was Ethan, Ryan's brother, his voice laced with urgency. "Lexi, I need to talk to you," he said, his tone grave. Anxiety gripped me—did he know about Ryan's affair? I steadied myself and asked, "What is it, Ethan?" He revealed his concerns about suspicious transactions within the company, suggesting that Ryan might be embezzling funds. My heart sank; I had sensed something was amiss but never anticipated this level of deceit. "What are you going to do?" I inquired, panic rising within me. Ethan assured me he would investigate but needed my discretion. I hesitated, weighing my trust in him against the gravity of the situation, before finally agreeing. "Yes, you can trust me," I affirmed. He planned to visit my office the following day to disc

~~Lexi~~Sitting across from Sophia, I was engulfed in a whirlwind of questions regarding her knowledge of Ryan's infidelity. "What do you mean I'm in grave danger?" I managed to ask, striving to maintain composure. Sophia leaned closer, her gaze unwavering. "Ryan's mistress is not an ordinary woman; she wields considerable power and will go to great lengths to safeguard her secrets." A chill coursed through me, igniting a sense of urgency. "What secrets?" My curiosity was piqued, prompting her to hesitate, scanning the coffee shop with apprehension. "I shouldn't divulge this," she cautioned, "but you deserve to know. Ryan's mistress has been embezzling funds from your company, and Ryan has been complicit in the cover-up." The revelation struck me like a physical blow, the implications spiraling beyond my control. "Why are you telling me this?" I pressed, grappling with the gravity of her claims. Sophia's demeanor shifted, her seriousness palpable. "Because I believe you're in dange

~~Lexi~~As I took a deep breath, the atmosphere in the office shifted palpably, charged with unresolved conflict and unspoken truths. Ryan's presence loomed large, a stark contrast to Ethan's composed demeanor. "You think you can just waltz in here and accuse me of wrongdoing? "Ryan's voice dripped with contempt, and I could see the veins in his neck bulging with rage. Ethan remained unfazed, his gaze unwavering. "This isn't about accusations, Ryan; it's about the integrity of the company we both care about," he replied, his tone measured yet firm. I felt anxious as I contemplated the implications of Ethan's investigation. If Ryan was indeed involved in something nefarious, the ramifications could be catastrophic, not just for him but for everyone associated with the company. I glanced between the two brothers, each representing a different facet of loyalty and betrayal. "We need to approach this rationally," I interjected, hoping to diffuse the escalating tension. "If there's any

~~Lexi~~As the days passed, the tension in our home grew palpable. I began to notice more signs that something was amiss—his phone buzzing with messages he quickly silenced, late nights that turned into early mornings, and a growing distance between us that felt insurmountable. One evening, while Ryan was in the shower, I found myself drawn to his phone, the screen lighting up with a message from an unknown number. Curiosity got the better of me, and I hesitated before unlocking it. The message read, "Can’t wait to see you again. Our little secret." My heart raced as I realized that the fairytale I had believed in was unraveling. I needed to confront him, but fear gripped me—what if my suspicions were unfounded? The next day, I decided to follow him after he claimed another late meeting. My heart pounded as I trailed him through the city, until he stopped at a quaint café. I watched from a distance as he met a woman whose laughter echoed like a siren call. The way he leaned in, the

~~Lexi~~I stared blankly at the wall, my mind reeling from the discovery. The evidence of Ryan's infidelity lay scattered before me. How could he do this to me? To us?I thought back to the past few months, trying to pinpoint the moment when everything changed. Was it when Ryan started working late nights? Or when he became increasingly distant and preoccupied?The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I had been blind to the signs. I had been so caught up in my own world, my business and my friends, that I had neglected my marriage.I felt like I was drowning in a sea of emotions, unable to keep my head above water. I needed something to hold onto, something to keep me grounded.That's when I saw him - Ethan, Ryan's billionaire brother, standing in the doorway of our living room. His eyes locked onto mine, filled with a deep concern and understanding."Lexi, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice low and soothing."Ryan's having an affair," I blurted out, the words tumbling

~~Lexi~~Amanda's words kept echoing in my mind, a harsh reminder of Ryan's betrayal.Ethan's presence was a comforting distraction, and I found myself gravitating towards him. We sat in the living room, the silence between us a gentle hum of understanding."Lexi, I'm sorry again for what happened," Ethan said, his voice low and soothing. "I know it can't be easy for you."I shook my head, feeling a lump form in my throat. "It's not just the infidelity," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "It's the lies, the deception. I feel like I never really knew Ryan at all."Ethan's expression was sympathetic, and he reached out to take my hand. "You deserve so much better than that," he said, his eyes burning with intensity. I pulled my hand back, trying to process my emotions. Ethan's touch had sent shivers down my spine, and I couldn't deny the attraction I felt towards him.But I was still married to his brother.

~~Lexi~~I stared at my phone, Ethan's text message glowing on the screen. "Hey, Lexi. I was thinking of taking you out for dinner tonight. Would you like that?"My heart skipped a beat, unsure of how to respond. A part of me was screaming to say yes, to spend more time with this enigmatic man.But another part of me was warning me to be cautious, to remember that Ethan was still Ryan's brother, and that getting involved with him could lead to more complications than I was ready for.As I deliberated, my mind wandered back to our previous conversations. Ethan had been kind and supportive, but I barely knew him. What if dinner was a mistake?Just as I was about to respond with a polite decline, my phone buzzed again. "No pressure, Lexi. Just let me know either way."I took a deep breath, making my decision. "Yes, I'd love to go to dinner with you."As soon as I sent the text, I felt a flutter of excitement mixed with nerves.Finally, the evening arrived, and I found myself standing in

I got ready for my dinner date with Ethan, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. We had been growing closer over the past few weeks, and I couldn't help but wonder what the future held for us. I put on a red dress that accentuated my curves, and paired it with some heels and a statement necklace. I felt confident and beautiful as I looked in the mirror. Ethan arrived promptly at 7 pm, looking dashing in a black suit and tie. He smiled when he saw me, and his eyes crinkled at the corners. "You look stunning, Lexi," he said, his voice low and husky. I blushed, feeling a sense of pleasure at his compliment. "Thank you, Ethan," I replied. "You look pretty great yourself." Ethan smiled and offered me his arm. "Shall we?" he asked.

Ethan looked up from his desk, a smile spreading across his face. "Hey, Lexi," he said, his voice low and husky. I smiled back, feeling a sense of warmth and connection. "Hey, Ethan," I replied. Ethan gestured to a chair in front of his desk. "Please, sit down," he said. I sat down, feeling a sense of curiosity. Ethan had been mysterious about his past, and I couldn't help but wonder what had shaped him into the man he was today. Ethan leaned back in his chair, a faraway look in his eyes. "I grew up in a difficult home environment," he said, his voice low and introspective. "My parents were always fighting, and I often felt like I was caught in the middle." I listened intently, feeling a sense of empathy and understanding. I knew what it was like to feel trapped and helpless. Ethan's eyes locked onto mine, and

"I feel the same way about you, Ethan," I said. Ethan's eyes clouded for a moment, and I sensed a hint of sadness in his voice. "I've been alone for a long time, Lexi," he said.

I had never heard Ethan talk about his past before, and I was fascinated by the glimpse into his life. "But despite all my success, I still felt empty inside," Ethan continued. "I felt like something was missing, like I was just going through the motions of life." I squeezed his hand, trying to offer what little comfo

The rest of the weekend was a blur of romance and adventure. Ethan and I spent our days exploring the beautiful countryside, holding hands and laughing together. We went on long walks, had picnics by the lake, and even went on a hot air balloon ride. Every moment we spent together was magical, and I felt like I was living in a dream.
