Billionaire's Darkest Desire: Marrying My Brother-in-law ELOISE
Five months. I only have five months to prepare everything for my dream wedding. When I got married, I didn't do that much well I think except that I needed to walk down the aisle and say yes. This time, it was different. This time, I wanted to be part of every single detail—the venue, the flowers, the dress, even the tiniest decorations. This was *our* wedding, and I wanted it to be perfect. Elijah wasn’t the type to care about details, but to my surprise, he was involved in everything. From choosing places to picking out the invitations, he was there—opinionated, sometimes annoyingly so, but still there. I stared at him as he scrolled through photos of wedding venues on his phone. “You do know you’re just supposed to nod and say, ‘Whatever you want, baby,’ right?” He smirked. “Nope. This is my wedding too. I get a say.” I rolled my eyes, but I couldn’t help the smile tugging at my lips. Maybe planning this wedding wouldn’t be so bad after all.We spent the next few days vi

The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow on the woman beside me—my wife. My wife. I smirked at the thought, turning onto my side to watch her sleep. Her dark hair was a mess, strands falling over her face, her lips slightly parted. She looked peaceful, completely exhausted from last night. I chuckled, running a hand through my hair. “I really outdid myself, huh?” Eloise stirred, groaning as she buried her face deeper into the pillow. “Shut up.” I laughed, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her against me. “Good morning, Mrs. Dawson.” She peeked at me through one eye, pouting. “My legs hurt.” I grinned. “You should’ve thought about that before marrying me.”It’s been five years since I married the love of my life.Five years since I stood at that altar, watching Eloise walk down the aisle, knowing with every fiber of my being that I was exactly where I was meant to be.Now, here we are—five years of marriage, countless memories

My grip tightened on the chair as I stared at her, trying to process what the hell was happening.It’s been years since I last visited Victoria at the mental hospital. The reports had been good—she was stable, responding well to treatment. She was supposed to be living under supervision, gradually reintegrating into society.But why the hell was she standing in front of me now?“Surprised to see me?” she asked, tilting her head slightly. “I figured it was time for a family reunion.”I exhaled sharply, forcing my emotions into check. “How did you get out?”Victoria let out a soft, amused laugh, shaking her head. “Oh, Elijah, let’s skip the boring interrogation, shall we? I’m here now. That’s what matters.”I clenched my jaw, my patience thinning. “That’s not how this works, Victoria. You don’t just walk in here and expect things to go back to normal.”She sighed dramatically, rolling her eyes. “Fine. If you must know, I behaved, passed all their little tests, and they decided I was ‘fi

"You believe me, right?" That was Elijah's question the moment we stepped foot into our house. We had just come from the mental hospital where Victoria had been staying for the past few years. And yes, she was there—physically present but mentally absent.I sighed, removing my coat and setting it aside. I turned to Elijah, who was still standing near the door, his expression unreadable.“You believed me, right?” he repeated, his voice quieter this time, almost hesitant.I smiled widely at him the one with reassurance. "Of course, I do.”Elijah’s eyes narrowed slightly as he studied my face, as if searching for any sign of doubt. His jaw clenched, and he exhaled through his nose. “No, you don’t,” he muttered, shaking his head. “You’re just saying that to make me feel better.” I frowned. “Elijah—” “You think I imagined it,” he interrupted, his voice calm but edged with frustration. “You think I was just stressed or hallucinating or whatever the hell else you're trying to convinc

I sat beside Noah on a park bench, my hands gripping my lap as I tried to process everything. The wind was cool, rustling through the trees, but my mind felt like a storm.“You should leave the country,” Noah said, his voice firm but quiet. “Take Elijah, take the kids, and just go.”I frowned, turning to him. “What? Noah, that’s insane. Why would we—”I studied him carefully, my heart pounding in my chest. There was something different about him—something I couldn’t quite place. His eyes, once filled with warmth despite everything, now held a shadow I didn’t recognize.“Noah…” I said slowly, trying to keep my voice steady. “You’re scaring me.”“You should be scared,” he shot back, his tone sharp. “Eloise, I wouldn’t be here if this wasn’t serious. You need to take your family and leave before—”“Before what?” I cut him off, shaking my head. “Noah, you’re talking in circles! Just tell me what the hell is going on!”He inhaled sharply, gripping his hands together as if trying to keep hi

I furrowed my brows as I climbed the stairs, hearing hushed voices coming from the hallway. Uncle Sandro was standing with a doctor, their expressions grave. A strange unease settled in my chest. “What’s going on?” I asked, stepping closer. Uncle Sandro turned to me, his face unreadable. The doctor gave me a polite nod but remained silent. “Elijah,” Uncle Sandro started carefully, but something in his tone made my stomach drop. I glanced between them, my patience thinning. “What happened? Where’s Eloise?” The doctor sighed, adjusting his glasses. “She’s resting, Mr. Dawson. She had a severe panic attack.” My heart clenched. “A panic attack?” My voice came out sharper than intended. Uncle Sandro placed a firm hand on my shoulder. “They’re both stable now.” I swallowed hard, my grip tightening on the railing. “Both. What do you mean?” Uncle Sandro hesitated for a brief moment before speaking. “Matthew.”I let out a dry chuckle, shaking my head. “That’s not funny, U

I hugged my knees to my chest, staring at the still water of the pool, but all I could see were the ripples of my past crashing into my present. Matthew is alive. My mind kept repeating those three words, over and over, like a cruel reminder that everything I built in the past ten years might not be mine to keep. I closed my eyes, feeling the night breeze kiss my skin, but it didn’t calm me. Instead, my thoughts dragged me back—to that night. Ten years ago. The explosion. The fire. The screams. I remembered running, my lungs burning, my heart pounding so hard I thought it would burst. I remembered the smell of smoke, the way the world seemed to blur as I searched for Matthew—only to be told he was gone. But was he really? I clutched my arms, my breath shaky. If Matthew survived… then where had he been all these years? Why didn’t he come back? Why now? “Eloise.” I jolted, snapping out of my daze. Elijah stood near the glass doors, his expression unreadable. He walk

I sat on the couch, watching as Eloah pouted beside me, his small fingers fidgeting with the hem of his shirt. “Daddy, why can’t we go home yet?” he asked, his voice laced with frustration. “I miss our home. I miss my room. Is Mommy still busy?” My throat tightened. How could I even begin to explain this? That we were staying here not because Mommy was busy but because someone from the past had come back—a man who could shake the foundation of our family? Before I could answer, Eliana let out a giggle from across the room, completely unaware of the weight in her brother’s words. She was playing with her stuffed toys, completely lost in her little world. I forced a smile and ruffled Eloah’s hair. “We’ll go home soon, buddy. Mommy’s just handling some things, and we need to give her a little more time, okay?” Eloah frowned, crossing his arms. “But I don’t like it here anymore. I want to sleep in my own bed.” I exhaled, glancing at Uncle Sandro, who was silently watching from

Billionaire's Darkest Desire: Marrying My Brother-in-law ELOISE
I've thought about this one. Clearly. Logically. Heartly...And it still hurts.What kind of wife and mother am I? I keep telling myself that I can handle everything—that I'm doing this for them, for their sake, because I love them. But who am I really fooling? This isn’t what love is. Love doesn’t leave quietly in the middle of the night without them knowing. I closed my eyes, gripping the suitcase tighter. I hated myself for doing this—for even thinking this was the right thing. I closed my eyes, gripping the suitcase tighter. I hated myself for doing this—for even thinking this was the right thing.Then my phone rang.I froze, heart pounding as I looked down at the screen.Matthew.I stared at his name for a moment, my thumb hovering. But I couldn’t answer—not now. Not when everything felt this fragile. Not when I wasn’t even sure who I was anymore.So I let it ring.And when it stopped, I slipped the phone back into my pocket and stepped out into the night.Just as I opened the

I stood on the terrace, phone in hand, staring out at the quiet view outside. Rafael was calling. I answered immediately."Any updates?" I asked, straight to the point."I don't know how to describe it. Elisse is still grieving. Matthew—your brother—he's moving fast," Rafael said cautiously."What now?" I asked, already sensing where this was going."He's hired a lawyer. One of those quiet but deadly types. He’s pushing to revisit the inheritance division—yours, Veronica’s, and his."I let out a quiet sigh, rubbing the back of my neck. "Let him. I don’t care about the inheritance.""I know," Rafael replied. "But he’s spinning it like you’ve disappeared, like you walked away from everything. He wants full control.""Then let him think that." My voice was calm, firm. "I didn’t walk away from everything. Just from the parts that never mattered to me."There was silence for a moment on his end."Alright," he finally said. "Just thought you should know.""Thanks," I murmured, glancing back

I kissed her—Eloise—like I needed her to breathe. Her lips were soft, trembling beneath mine, but she didn’t push me away. She kissed me back.God, she tasted like longing and sadness all at once. But then— “Fuck…” A sharp pain shot through my lower lip. I pulled away, blinking, and reached up to touch the sting. Blood. She bit me.“Oh my God! I'm so sorry… I didn't mean it,” she panicked, dropping onto the edge of the bed like her world just caved in. I stared at her. She wasn’t looking at me—her eyes were somewhere far away. There was something… off. But my body was still buzzing, still aching from the way her mouth moved with mine. Her scent lingered on my skin, and pleasure drowned the alarm bells in my head. I should ask her. I should stop. But God—her lips were just on mine. And I didn’t want it to end. Not yet. “Hey, Eloise, I’m okay,” I said, trying to calm her down as I wiped the blood off my lip. I gave her a small smile. “It’s just a bite.” She didn’t

The night before we left the country, I stood in my study, eyes scanning the documents I was about to hand over.Rafael leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, his usual sharp gaze softer tonight. He didn’t say anything at first—he didn’t have to. We’d known each other too long. He knew what I was thinking, and I knew he was waiting for the moment I’d say it out loud.“I’m trusting all of this to you,” I finally said, holding out the envelope. “Business operations, legal matters, security around Elisse… even the situation with Noel. You handle everything while I’m gone.”Rafael stepped forward and took the envelope. “You really going off the grid?”“For a while,” I nodded. “Just a week or two. I need this time with my family, Raf. No calls unless it’s life or death. I want to give Eloise and the kids what they deserve. Peace.”He glanced down at the envelope before tucking it inside his coat. “You know I got you,” he said firmly. “Go be a husband and a father. I’ll take care of ev

Elisse was kneeling beside the stretcher, her fingers trembling as they brushed over her father’s hand. Her eyes were swollen, red, distant.“They found him by the shore,” she said, her voice barely holding itself together. “His body drifted for hours… They said he fell from a cliff.”“Fell?” I asked, stepping closer. “Or was pushed?”She laughed bitterly, shaking her head. “You think my father would just trip and fall off a damn cliff, Elijah? You know him. He wouldn’t even get near the edge. Someone did this.”“Who was the last person with him?”She swallowed hard, eyes drifting back to her father’s lifeless form. “He’s a fisherman, Elijah. The sea was his home. He knew the cliffs like the back of his hand. He wouldn’t just slip. No way.”I stepped closer, lowering my voice. “Do you have someone in mind, Elisse? Anyone who might’ve wanted him gone?”“My father is a good man, he doesn't have any beef with anyone,” she said, voice cracking as tears welled again. “Everyone in the villa

I sat across from Matthew in the private room of the restaurant, my fingers curled around the warm cup of tea the waiter had just placed in front of me. The man sitting across from me—my first husband—felt like a stranger. His aura was different now. Darker. He wasn’t the Matthew I used to know—the one who made me laugh, the one who always had a teasing smirk on his face. This Matthew was cold, unreadable. But still, I remained patient. I owed him that much. He leaned back in his chair, fingers tapping against the table. “You’re different,” he muttered, eyes scanning my face. “You’re calmer than I expected.” I offered him a small, tight-lipped smile. “I didn’t come here to fight, Matthew.” He chuckled, but there was no humor in it. “Then why did you come?” "To talk to you—”“About what?” Matthew cut me off, leaning forward with a smirk that didn’t reach his eyes. “About how happy you are with him? About how you moved on so easily while I spent years in hell?” I exhaled s

I grew up with Matthew. Deep inside, I always had a feeling about his true identity, but I pushed it away. Because no matter what, he was still my brother.Maybe I was too focused on Eloise back then that I failed to notice even the slightest thing between Matthew and Noel.When Matthew came out of the closet to Dad, he was furious—disappointed. I couldn't even name all the emotions he showed that day. But one thing was clear: from that moment on, Dad's treatment of Matthew started to change.He put more effort into me, teaching me how to handle business, how to be the perfect heir—the son he could proudly present to the world. But with Matthew… it was different. Dad distanced himself, his disappointment manifesting in subtle ways at first—longer business trips, missed birthdays, colder stares.Matthew was always the type to seek approval, to crave validation—especially from our father. So when Dad started pulling away, treating him like a mere afterthought, Matthew did what he though

I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my jaw locked as I trailed behind Eloise’s car. She was chasing after Matthew, and like a damn fool, I was chasing after her. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go. The roads blurred past me, headlights flashing in the dark as we weaved through the streets. I kept my distance, watching as Eloise’s car sped up, refusing to lose sight of Matthew’s vehicle ahead. Where the hell was he going? Then, I recognized the familiar road leading to Uncle Sandro’s house. Damn it. Matthew’s car skidded to a stop in the driveway, and before his engine even fully died, he was out, slamming the door shut. Eloise parked next, practically throwing her car door open. I pulled up right after, stepping out and slamming my own door shut as my eyes locked onto them. “Matthew!” Eloise called, her voice cracking with urgency as she hurried after him. He didn’t stop. He pushed the door open and stepped inside Uncle Sandro’s house, his movements stiff

Without wasting another second, I scrolled through my contacts and called Rafael. “Eloise?” He answered almost immediately. “I need to see you,” I said, my voice firm. “Now.” There was a brief pause on the other end before he sighed. “Come to my office.” I didn’t even bother responding. I turned on my heel and headed straight for my car, my mind running a hundred miles per hour. I walked into the towering building bearing Rafael’s family name, my heels clicking against the polished marble floor. His family didn’t just run a security firm—it was the most trusted in Asia, handling the biggest names in business and politics. Ignoring the glances thrown my way, I headed straight for the top floor. The receptionist barely had time to greet me before I pushed the door open and stepped inside.Rafael was at his desk, flipping through some documents, but the moment he saw me, he leaned back, arms crossing over his chest. “That was fast,” he said, his usual smirk missing. “You sound
