Kyros paused the video and turned to Stella, his expression hardening. “Tell the truth. Who is the real father of your child?”Pain flashed across Stella’s face, quickly replaced by indignation. “Kyros, I gave you my whole heart! How can you still love Gazelle after everything we’ve been through? Just admit it! You’ve been seeing each other again! You got back together!”Her voice rose with each accusation.“You’re just trying to pin the blame on me so you can divorce me guilt-free. You’ve been meeting in secret—I know it! I’m not something you can just cast aside! I am your wife, Kyros!”Kyros’ urges to physically hurt his wife was unmistakable. If not for the other man in the room, watching him closely and ready to intervene, he might have already acted on it.He pointed at the man. “Tell us the truth. Was he the father of your child,

The video continued, revealing Stella asking Tessa for medicine. Tessa provided the medication and carefully explained its proper usage. At that moment, Stella no longer had the energy to defend herself. As the footage played, the evidence was undeniable—there was no way she could deny her involvement in her child’s disappearance with everyone watching. Kyros’ mother, shaking with fury, couldn’t hold back. She slapped Stella hard across the face. “You shameless woman! I welcomed you into the Ferrero family, accepted you as my daughter-in-law—but I never imagined you could be this cruel!” she spat.Across the room, Stella’s lover paled, his legs giving out as he collapsed into a chair.“So, it’s true,” the man said, his voice laced with betrayal. “You were willing to abandon our child. You were ready to kill an innocent life—just to get what you wanted.” His fists clenched at his sides. “I’m disgusted, Stella!”Without another word, he stormed out, unable to bear the sight of her.St

MaximusMy mother’s death anniversary was approaching, and whenever it came around, I never felt like myself.Her presence lingered like a specter—I saw things, visions of blood, glimpses of what I believed was her soul. It was terrifying, especially now that I had Gazelle in my life.This complication was something I never considered when I decided to marry Gazelle.No—I had left Gazelle alone in the past for this very reason. And yet, I couldn’t control my feelings.“Sir, you’ll be staying there for two weeks,” Emma reminded, “Let me know if you’ll be bringing Dr. Sinclair so we can make the necessary arrangements in advance.” She handed me the legal documents for the construction site on Park Avenue—my destination in two weeks.Didn’t she understand that Gazelle was why I was leaving Bryston?I wanted to be angry at my secretary’s assumption, but it was likely that my

Gazelle I was granted entry into Maximus’s office, feeling the weight of exhaustion pressing down on me. After the events at the hospital today, my mind was drained, and the chief resident kindly allowed me a moment to rest. All I wanted was to see my husband. When I pushed open Maximus’s door, I found him with his eyes closed, head tilted back against his chair, momentarily vulnerable in sleep. “Is it really okay for me to come in?” I asked his assistant, unsure.“Yes, ma’am,” he assured me with a respectful nod. I glanced at Gianna. “Please, take some rest at the villa.”I felt a wave of guilt wash over me for her. She hadn’t rested yet, staying up all night watching over Stella and still managing to handle an investigation. She looked fine outside, but I knew the toll it must have taken on her.“I’m safe here,” I added. Maximus had four bodyguards on this floor and a trustworthy team around him—no harm would come to me, I was confident.Gianna gave a slight nod and left.Approa

Maximus had been gone for three days, having left for Park Avenue on business, and I felt his absence acutely with each passing night. Despite our regular FaceTime calls that allowed me to see his face, the longing persisted. Today marked Tessa’s final day as an intern at the hospital. She denied the accusation that she had planned to harm Stella’s child. After all, it was Stella who had bribed her to eliminate the pregnancy. Whether or not Tessa and Kyros were still together, I had no idea. All I know is that Stella would do anything to avoid divorcing Kyros, especially now that she has his name as his wife. After emerging from the labor room, where I had spent six exhausting hours assisting with cesarean delivery, I realized I couldn’t locate Gianna anywhere. The mother was stable now, though she still needed a blood transfusion to restore her depleted levels. The department was bustling—three emergency cases had arrived almost simultaneously, keeping all medical personnel eng

Maximus I went to Park Avenue to see Dr. Castillo. Dante’s father was now living in the city, but that felt distant compared to the turmoil in my mind. Dr. Castillo asked, “Do these things feel real to you, or do you ever doubt them?” after I admitted that my mind had been clouded with uncertainty lately. It felt like Gazelle wasn’t real, yet she had the power to pull me back from those episodes.“I wanted to believe she was real… I never doubted her existence. It calmed me whenever I saw her smile or those blue orbs.”Dr. Castillo followed up with another question. “When did these experiences resurface?”“A day before I married her… I was scared. Jealous—of my friends, of anyone near her. I’m fucking terrified. I want her all to myself, but I know she wouldn’t be happy. And I’m afraid of what that could lead to. I feel obsessed.”“Do you feel the need to control what she does? Like her job?”I hesitated. “Sometimes… yes.” But making Gazelle happy was always my priority. “And I trust

Kyros “Mr. Ferrero, I didn’t do anything wrong. Please believe me,” Tessa pleaded, her voice trembling through her tears as I sat across from her in her small apartment. Her youthful face, framed by disheveled hair, projected an air of wounded innocence that was difficult to dismiss. I met her at a bar the same night I saw Gazelle, radiating a happiness that no longer had anything to do with me, with my brother. In my alcohol-clouded judgment, I mistook Tessa for her—just for a moment. But that moment was enough to set everything in motion. And so, I took her to a hotel. Like Stella, Tessa possessed a particular talent for flattery and attention that soothed my wounded ego. Their affection—or perhaps the performance of affection—provided comfort, especially during intimate moments when I could forget my troubles. As my marriage with Stella deteriorated, Tessa became my refuge. I was the one who secured her position at the hospital, partly motivated by a childish desire to pro

GazelleMaximus’ revelation caught me off guard—his own mother had abused him. The image of his thick medical records at the hospital flashed through my mind, along with a far thinner document in his mother’s file, listing her as one of my mother’s patients.“My mother… she’s…” His body trembled as he spoke, his voice faltering. “She was a ‘patient’… she experienced delusions, committed disturbing acts I can barely describe.”My heart clenched for him. I could only imagine how painful it must have been—to grow up with a mother who should have loved and protected him, yet had become someone entirely different.Maximus’ hands tightenedas his throat worked, struggling to continue with his complicated narrative.“Every year, when her anniversary comes around… I’m not myself. Because I saw how it ended.” His words were heavy, laced with unresolved grief. My heart ached for him even more

“Dr. Caldwell, after you collected samples from my dad for laboratory testing, I went ahead and took another sample for independent examination,” I announced to the room. “I need confirmation from multiple sources before I can accept these positive results.” Cristina’s face contorted in theatrical distress. “How could you, Gazelle? Your dad is already so weak, and you subjected him to more tests? My poor husband...” She dabbed at her eyes, though not a single tear had fallen. Dante addressed the hospital director directly. “Sir, this is precisely why I filed my formal complaint against Dr. Caldwell. He tampered with Chairman Sinclair’s lab results. The tests he ordered mysteriously showed no abnormalities, contradicting the concerning results that Dr. Sinclair and I obtained from this very hospital. Furthermore, he intentionally omitted the CT scan to examine the chairman’s lungs.” I fixed Dr. Caldwell with an unflinching stare, watching as his professional demeanor began to crack
Beyond Betrayal: Marry His Brother CHAPTER 67: Weak
The nurse that Dante and I caught in my dad’s room attempted to flee, but Gianna intercepted her outside the door, restraining her swiftly. “Let go of me!” the nurse cried out, struggling against Gianna’s grip. “Oh my God!” I gasped, my breath catching in my throat. My dad looked unwell when he was first admitted, but now… now he looks even worse. His skin was pale, and his face looked hollow. A cold dread seeped into my bones. “Dante…” His name escaped my lips as a trembling whisper. Dante checked my dad’s vital signs, his expression grave. “The chairman’s heartbeat is dangerously weak.” I shuddered at his words. Despite our strained relationship, concern for my dad overwhelmed me. Whatever differences we had, he was still my dad, and I loved him deeply. Moving with practiced efficiency, Dante reached for the phone and contacted a hepatologist. The commotion attracted attention throughout the floor, and the nurse we caught looked terrified. “Please... I was just following

His question caught me off guard. I carefully lathered the foam over his cheeks, my gaze lingering on him. “And where do you think I’ll go?” He remained silent. “Didn’t I stay last night? I’m only going back to Bryston with you.” I began shaving his thick beard, my hands steady despite the tension between us. When I finished, I couldn’t resist pressing my lips to his once more. Maximus seized control. In one swift motion, he lifted me onto the bathroom countertop. His lips traveled from my neck, tracing a heated path downward. “You are mine, Gazelle… I’m going fucking crazy just thinking about the day you might leave me. But if that day ever comes and you have to go… I’ll let you. Do you understand?” I nipped at his neck, my lips lingering against his skin. “Banish the thought, President Ferrero. Your body, your wealth—everything about you is mine…” A low hum of approval rumbled in his chest. “Good,” he murmured, his thumb tracing slow, teasing circles along m

I stood up briefly and retrieved my abandoned bag to message Gianna, letting her know I was safe. She needed reassurance, and I didn't want her to worry.I also texted Dante: “I'm with Maximus now. I'll try to convince him to return to Bryston as soon as possible.” There was no need to wait for his reply, though Gianna had quickly messaged me that she was in her suite if I needed anything. Maximus's eyes fluttered open as I reentered the room, searching anxiously until they found me. Even though I was only gone for a moment, his face showed a hint of vulnerability. I walked back to the king-size bed.“Are you real?” he asked, his voice laced with uncertainty.“Of course I am,” I assured him, recognizing he still hadn't fully anchored himself to the present.I lay beside him again, and he instinctively wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer.“This is the best I've felt in days… I'm not going anywhere, babe... I'll stay. Let's sleep together, hmm…”His embrace tightened a

Entering a place like this reawakens my deepest fears. The enclosed space constricts my breathing—especially since it hasn’t even been a month since I was rescued from frostbite and pneumonia.Despite this overwhelming dread, I force myself forward.I must trust my strength now. My husband needs me, whatever darkness he’s battling.Daylight filters through the penthouse windows, yet the drawn curtains cast long shadows across the rooms, creating an unsettling atmosphere that feels suspended between day and night.A sudden crash shattered the silence.I flinched, my body tensing on instinct. My breath caught in my throat. Then, without a second thought, I dropped my luggage by the door and rushed toward the sound.My heart pounded as I pushed the door open. Even in the dim light, I saw the wreckage: shattered vases lay in glittering fragments across the floor, hotel furniture lay broken and overturned, and personal belonging

I allowed them a moment of privacy before confronting Dante again, still stunned by what I’d witnessed. “Leave us alone, Gianna,” I said quietly. She gave a quiet nod before turning and walking out of the clinic. She didn’t owe me any explanations, yet I couldn’t shake the nagging curiosity about how far her connection with the doctor went. “I don’t want to get in the middle of your situation,” I began carefully, “but I’m concerned about Gianna becoming distracted from her responsibilities. Perhaps that’s why Max doesn’t want her working with me anymore.” Dante ran his fingers through his hair with a sigh. “I understand your concern. The thing is, I was thrown off when I saw you with her right after your chief resident called you. So that you know, we were exes before you started thinking badly of me.” “Ex?” I echoed. “Yeah. She left the university, and then suddenly, I found her working alongside you.” I took a deep breath before revealing my true purpose. “I came here because

“There’s nothing…” The assistant paused, deep in thought. “But I did notice that Ms. Cristina has been sending a smoothie to the chairman. He requested it every day, saying it made him feel stronger. Apparently, it’s one of the best drinks at Ms. Cristina’s restaurant,” Mr. Harrington explained.I exchanged a meaningful glance with Gianna across the room. No words were needed—we understood each other instantly.Turning back to Mr. Harrington, I gave firm instructions. “Order that exact same drink from her restaurant. I need to know its ingredients and preparation. Tell her the chairman is specifically requesting it.”“Understood, Ms. Gazelle.”I shifted my attention to Gianna. “Please ensure the samples go directly to Dr. Castillo… Dr. Caldwell’s people must not find out what we’re looking into, no matter what.”She gave a solemn nod before leaving quietly.With that settled, I buried myself in paperwork for the next few hours, reviewi

Dr. Caldwell clenched his jaw. “You’re an obstetrician. What do you know about a patient’s physical tests? Unless, of course, you think Chairman Sinclair is expecting a child?”I let out a quiet scoff. This man’s territorial behavior was revealing, but I wouldn’t let it distract me from my concerns.“You seem to forget that regardless of my specialty, I completed the same medical training you did. More importantly, as the only daughter of the Chairman, I have the final say,” I said, my voice turning cold. “I’m not here as a physician, Dr. Caldwell, and you’re not entitled to dismiss what I’m requesting.”My gaze dropped to my father, who sat on the bed. “Fine. Let’s say I have no right to interfere, but the patient does. Seeking a second opinion is standard medical practice.”Though my father appeared stable at the moment, I couldn’t ignore the subtle indicators; his skin bruised too quickly, a faint yellowish lingering. And I certainly couldn’t dis

A lump formed in my throat, making it difficult to swallow as the terrible realization washed over me. I was shaken by the information that Maximus’ mother had been completely normal when she married Chairman Ferrero, yet within five years, her mental illness had drastically worsened. The chief continued, her voice gentle but firm. “When you decided to marry him, I wanted to stop you. I didn’t want your life to be ruined, Gazelle. But it was your choice… Besides, if he could run a multimillion-dollar company and oversee its projects, I thought there was no way he could have inherited his mother’s condition.” A chilling thought crept in. This may have explained why my mother had kept it secret that Maximus was the one who saved me from that island. Had she been trying to keep me away from him? Maximus must be terrified of his dark past. And now, the pieces were coming together—the lack of any romantic history, the absence of a single reported woman despite relentless media att
