I leaned back in my chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, replaying the words I had thrown at Eloise earlier. Rafael has an STD? Damn, I really said that, didn’t I? The lie had just slipped out so effortlessly, and I couldn’t even blame the heat of the moment. It was pure, unfiltered panic. I groaned, running a hand over my face. Rafael was going to kill me if this ever got back to him. Not that I cared much—I’d do it again if it meant keeping Eloise away from him. Before I could spiral any further into my thoughts, the door to my office burst open with a loud bang, nearly making me fall out of my chair. "Elijah, my man!" Rafael’s voice boomed as he strode into the room, grinning like he had just won the lottery. Oh, great. Speak of the devil. "Why are you smiling like that?" I asked, sitting up straight and trying to mask my unease. He plopped down on the chair across from me, completely at ease, like he owned the place. "Why wouldn’t I be? Life’s good, brother. Life’s r

It’s nice if someone is worried about you, but when they start acting like the world is ending just because you inhaled a little smoke? Ugh, it’s too much. I opened my eyes to the blinding hospital lights and immediately groaned. The air felt sterile, cold, and heavy with the scent of antiseptics. My throat was dry, and my body ached, but none of that compared to the irritation bubbling inside me. Elijah was pacing near the bed, his face a mix of relief and frustration. He looked like he’d aged ten years in the past hour. “Elijah,” I croaked, trying to sit up. “Stop pacing. You’re making me dizzy.” “You should stay lying down!” he snapped, rushing to my side like I was made of glass. His hands hovered over me like he wasn’t sure where to touch. “Do you even realize what could’ve happened to you?!” “Yes, I inhaled some smoke and fainted. Big deal,” I muttered, waving him off. “I’m not dying.” His jaw tightened, and I could tell he was holding back a lecture. “Eloise, you we

I could feel my throat burn as I downed the entire glass of vodka, the sting doing little to ease the frustration simmering inside me. The bass-heavy music pounded through the club, matching the erratic rhythm of my thoughts. Across the table, Rafael lounged comfortably, a smug grin on his face as two women clung to his arms, giggling at whatever nonsense he was whispering in their ears. “Rough night, Eli?” Rafael called out over the music, smirking like the asshole he was. “You’re drinking like you just lost the lottery.” I ignored him, signaling the bartender for another drink. My mind was elsewhere—on a certain stubborn woman who always managed to push me to the edge and leave me hanging there. Eloise. My grip on the glass tightened as I remembered my conversation with Edmund earlier. I stared at Eloise's face. She might have an angelic face, but when she wakes up, she’s colder than Elsa from Frozen (thanks to Venice’s little sister for introducing me to that movie). Her

Uncle Sandro gently dabbed the side of my lip with a cotton ball soaked in antiseptic, his brows furrowed in concentration. I winced at the sting but didn’t pull away."You're always so stubborn," he muttered, his voice tinged with both frustration and concern. "Why do you always let things escalate to this point?"I rolled my eyes, ignoring the question. "It’s not like I asked for this, Uncle. Besides, it’s just a bruise.”His hand froze mid-air, and he gave me a look that could rival a storm. "Just a bruise? Eloise, this isn’t normal. Edmund crossed the line, and you’re acting like it’s just another Tuesday!” I just shrugged in response. Then I saw the pity in his eyes. "Fine. Fine. Fine. We’re not doing this if you’re just going to pity me," I said irritably, snatching the cotton ball from his hands. He wouldn’t have even known about this if we hadn’t bumped into each other on the stairs earlier!Uncle Sandro’s expression turned serious, his usual warmth replaced by somethi

I leaned back in my chair, the papers trembling slightly in my hand as I read the report. A raid on an illegal gambling operation—and my mother’s name tangled in it. Of course. Another day, another scandal tied to the Dawson name. I tossed the folder onto my desk, rubbing my temples. She never learns. Her business might be legitimate on the surface, but it’s always what lurks beneath that drags everything into chaos. And now, it’s my problem to clean up. Again. My jaw clenched as I flipped through the detailed accounts from the private investigator. Names, locations, bribes—it was all there. Everything the authorities would need to bury her, if they weren’t already in her pocket. "How does she always manage to pull me into her mess?" I muttered under my breath. I leaned forward, running a hand down my face. This wasn’t just about her reputation; it was about mine. If this blows up, the fallout won’t just hit her—it’ll hit me, my business, and everyone under the Dawson umbrella

The car was quiet, save for the low hum of the engine and the occasional rustle of paper as I handed over the pills. I glanced at the man beside me—tall, stoic, and expressionless as always. My private investigator. I hadn’t contacted him in years, but if there was anyone I trusted with this, it was him. “These,” I said simply, placing the small bag of pills in his gloved hand. “I need you to find out what they are and why he’s taking them.” He nodded once, his movements precise and mechanical, before slipping the bag into his coat pocket. Not a single word, not a single unnecessary gesture. That was what I liked about him—obedience without question. “And don’t let anyone trace this back to me. I want answers, but I don’t want complications.” Another nod. His eyes flicked to the rearview mirror for a moment before returning to me. “Good,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair. “You’ll report back to me in person. No emails, no calls. You know the drill.” As the car pu

I glared at him sharply, pulling my dress back into place, my movements deliberate and precise. Before I could say anything, I heard him mutter a crisp curse under his breath. "You kissed me..." he said, his voice low, almost incredulous. I raised an eyebrow and crossed my arms. "So?" His jaw clenched as he pointed at me. "You kissed me with tongue, Eloise! What the hell was that?" I smirked, tilting my head. "Oh, relax. It was just a little experiment. I was proving a point—you're drunk." "I'm not drunk!" he barked, running a hand through his hair. "You—you can’t just do that!" "Why not?" I challenged, my tone calm but defiant. His eyes widened, his expression a mix of disbelief and frustration, as if I’d just cursed him to his core. "Why not?! You don’t know the hell I went through this whole day, Eloise—" "So what?" I snapped, cutting him off. "Does kissing you make it worse? Does it add to your so-called hell, Elijah?" He stared at me, his lips pressed into a t

ELIJAH I couldn’t move. I stood there, frozen, exactly where Eloise had left me. The rain poured down, soaking me to the bone, but I didn’t care. It was as if the heavens were trying to comfort me—or mock me—I couldn’t tell anymore. My hands clenched into fists at my sides. The cold didn’t bother me, but the ache in my chest did. Her words replayed in my head over and over again, stabbing me deeper every time. "You can never afford me in this lifetime, billionaire." I let out a bitter laugh, my voice cracking. “Afford you? Hell, I’ve already lost everything trying to have you.” The rain kept coming, but I didn’t move. I didn’t even try to shield myself. What was the point? For the first time in years, I felt completely empty. Eloise didn’t just leave me; she took every ounce of hope I had left.Confessing to her wasn’t part of my plan tonight—hell, it was never in my plans at all. I swore I’d take this secret to my grave. But the frustration, the anger, and the overwhelming

"I'm really sorry, bro... I mean, it just really slipped off right off my tongue..." Rafael's voice was laced with guilt, but I barely registered his words.My mind was elsewhere, spinning with worst-case scenarios as I thought of Noel and Eloise alone in the penthouse. I hated the idea—no, I despised it. The thought of him lingering around her, being too close, too comfortable... it was enough to make my blood boil. “Elijah? Are you even listening?” Rafael waved a hand in front of my face, his brows furrowed.I shook my head, forcing myself back to the present. “Yeah, I heard you,” I muttered, though it was far from the truth. “You slipped up. Fine. Whatever.”“Wait, ‘whatever’? That’s it?” Rafael looked at me, confused. “I just told Mom about Eloise’s pregnancy, and you’re acting like it’s not a big deal?”“It’s not that,” I snapped, rubbing the back of my neck. “I just have other things on my mind right now.”Rafael leaned back, crossing his arms. “Other things? Like what?”I did
Billionaire's Darkest Desire: Marrying My Brother-in-law ELOISE
Every morning for the past few weeks, my day started the same way—puking my guts out in the bathroom. It wasn’t exactly how I envisioned pregnancy would be, but here I was, head over the toilet bowl, with my hair tied messily, praying for it to be over.As I washed my face and looked at myself in the mirror, my eyes wandered to my stomach. The small bump was starting to show, barely noticeable to anyone else, but to me, it was glaringly obvious. I looked...bloated, as if I had one too many meals at a buffet.I sighed, pulling down my shirt and walking out of the bathroom. The sight of Noel and Elijah already in the living room greeted me—like they always were. This weird cohabitation arrangement still felt strange, but at least they weren’t trying to kill each other. Well, not openly.“You two,” I called out as I passed by. “What’s for breakfast? Your baby’s hungry.”His head snapped up from his laptop, his brow furrowing. “My baby,” he corrected, standing up quickly. “And don’t worry

"You're telling me there's nothing? No backup, no traces, no footage at all?" I hissed into the phone, my voice low but sharp enough to cut through the silence of my office."Yes, Sir," the man on the other end of the line replied, his tone cautious. "The system was compromised. Just like what happened on Hart's company night. Whoever did this knew what they were doing—they wiped everything clean.”I ran a hand down my face, frustration boiling in my veins. One week. One goddamn week, and we still had nothing to go on. The footage from that night was gone, and with it, any hope of finding the bastard who tried to kill Eloise."Keep digging," I snapped, pacing back and forth in my room. "Find another angle. Look into nearby establishments, traffic cameras—anything. I don’t care how long it takes or how much it costs. I want answers.”"Understood, Sir," the man said before the line went dead.I tossed my phone onto the bed and leaned against the edge of the desk, my head pounding. It wa

I knew this was exactly how they’d react.With a heavy sigh, I slammed myself onto the sofa, crossing my arms as I watched the two of them bicker like kids fighting over a toy.“This is ridiculous,” Elijah snapped, his hands flying up in frustration. “How is living together even a solution?!”“Exactly! I don’t want to live with you either,” Noel fired back, pointing a finger at Elijah. “And I sure as hell don’t trust you to be around Eloise 24/7.”I rolled my eyes, my patience hanging by a thread. “Are you two done?” I said, my tone sharp enough to cut through their shouting.They both turned to me, momentarily stunned into silence.“Good,” I continued before either of them could start up again. “Because this isn’t about either of you. This is about the baby, and if you can’t set aside your egos, then maybe I’ll just raise this child on my own.”Elijah’s jaw tightened, his gaze flicking to the floor. Noel crossed his arms, but I noticed a flicker of guilt pass across his face.I leane

To punch this asshole’s face is not enough to sate my rage right now. Every time I see Noel, it’s like my blood boils over, and tonight, he had the audacity to show up here, acting like he had every right to be near Eloise. He staggered back from my last punch, wiping blood from his split lip. Good. He deserved every hit. “You think you can just barge in here and act like you care about her?!” I spat, my fists still clenched. “You’re a joke, Noel!” His glare burned into me, but I didn’t care. He lunged at me again, his fist connecting with my jaw this time. It hurt, but the pain only fueled me. “Enough!” Eloise’s voice cut through the chaos like a knife. I froze, her sharp tone pulling me out of my haze. She stood there, anger radiating from her like a storm. Her eyes locked onto mine, and I felt a pang of guilt settle in my chest. “Both of you need to stop this!” she shouted, stepping between us. Her voice trembled, but her resolve didn’t waver. “I can’t believe you’re ac

After that chaos, I found myself sitting on the plush leather couch in Elijah's penthouse. The city lights twinkled through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft glow on the sleek and modern interior.It's been months since that last time I went here. Elijah paced back and forth near the window, his hands raking through his disheveled hair. He was still shaking, his movements stiff, as if the adrenaline from earlier hadn’t worn off. He hadn’t spoken much since we got here, just murmured something about needing me to stay with him tonight.I wanted to ask him why—why he was so adamant about not letting me go home, why he looked so broken, why his voice cracked every time he said my name—but I held back. Today wasn’t the right time. Not when he looked like this.“Elijah,” I finally said, my voice soft but steady. “You don’t have to keep pacing. I’m fine. I wasn’t in the car when it happened.”He froze mid-step, his back turned to me. For a moment, I thought he didn’t hear me, bu

I sat on my bed, my back pressed against the headboard, staring blankly at the curtain swaying gently as the air flowed through. The soft rustling was oddly soothing, like a whisper of a world that kept moving while mine stood still.I heard the door creak open but didn’t bother to look. I already knew who it was.Uncle Sandro’s voice broke the silence. "Eloise, honey... I brought you some sliced fruits and vitamins."I kept my eyes on the curtain, my face expressionless. The sound of his footsteps grew closer as he placed the tray on the bedside table."You haven’t eaten all day," he continued, his tone soft but laced with worry. "You need to take care of yourself."Still, I didn’t respond. My fingers traced the hem of my blanket absently, my thoughts tangled in the same loop they’d been stuck in for days.Uncle Sandro sighed heavily, his footsteps growing louder as he walked closer. He crouched down beside my bed, his face soft but full of concern."Eloise," he said gently, his voic

I sat across from the CEO of the hotel, the air between us heavy with tension. He was trying to maintain composure, but I could see the beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Good. He should be nervous. "I’ll ask you one last time," I said, my voice cold and deliberate. "Where is the CCTV footage from that night?" The man fidgeted in his seat, his hands clasped tightly together. "Mr. Dawson, as I explained before, the footage from that evening was corrupted. Our team tried to recover it, but it was—" "Spare me the excuses." I leaned forward, my glare cutting through him. "You expect me to believe that the CCTV conveniently stopped working on the night of the company’s event? Do you think I’m stupid?" "Of course not, Mr. Dawson," he stammered, his voice trembling. "But I assure you, we did everything we could—" "You didn’t do enough." My tone was sharp, each word slicing through his weak defenses. "Either someone tampered with it, or you’re covering something up. Which is it

How I hate morning sickness!This is insane. This is driving me insane!I leaned over the sink, gripping the edges tightly as another wave of nausea hit me. My stomach twisted and churned, emptying what little it had left. Gasping for air, I rinsed my mouth and splashed cold water on my face, trying to steady myself."Pull yourself together, Eloise," I muttered, staring at my pale reflection in the mirror. But how could I? I wrapped my arms around myself as I stepped out of the bathroom, my knees shaky from the exertion. The scent of the room hit me immediately—a mix of my perfume and something else. Something unfamiliar.And then I saw him.Elijah.He was sitting on my vanity chair, his posture stiff, his jaw tight, and his eyes locked on the box of pills in his hand. His grip on it was so tight I thought it might crumble under the pressure.My breath caught in my throat. "What... What are you doing here?”He didn’t respond right away. His eyes slowly lifted from the box to meet mi
