Deadly Affair with My Brother In-Law Chapter 35: Killing At the birthday
Aurora's POV But in the shadows, beyond the glow of the chandeliers and the warmth of the celebration, danger lurked.Dominic hadn't said a word during the drive, and his features were unreadable behind the darkened tint of the windshield as he wove his way through the dark streets. I could feel the tension in him, the rage just barely contained under his surface. His hand was clamped firmly around the steering wheel, the muscles in his jaw clenching and releasing as we approached our destination."Dominic," I whispered, not wanting to break the silence. "What's going on?He looked at me then, and his eyes momentarily softened before resuming their harsh cast. "Stay close to me, Aurora. Whatever happens, stay close.The gravity in his voice sent a chill down my spine. I wanted to ask more, to understand what we were walking into, but something in his tone told me it was best not to push. I nodded, my hand clenching his as he parked the car and turned to face me."You trust me, don't

Aurora's POV I turned to him, my heart beating in my chest. His eyes seemed shrouded with an intensity that ran a shiver down my spine. I nodded, encouraging him to go ahead.There's a war brewing," he said, his voice steady but filled with an underlying tension. "Among the mafia families. Tonight was just the beginning."The weight of those words slammed into me like a freight train. A war? The idea was terrifying, and yet I knew Dominic wouldn't bring it up if it weren't serious. My mind started racing at the implications, the dangers, and the unknowns such a revelation brought.Dominic reached out, his hand warm, covering mine. "I need you to be very careful, Aurora. We're in the middle of something much bigger than us, and I can't protect you from everything."The vulnerability in his eyes was a contrast to the strong, unyielding man I knew. He was worried-no, terrified-for my safety. And that scared me more than anything."I understand," I whispered, my voice shaking despite my
Last Updated : 2025-01-22Deadly Affair with My Brother In-Law Chapter 37: Leo Levine Is Back
Aurora POV The line died, and Dominic placed the phone down with a sigh, running his hand through his hair. I could feel the tension already congealing in his shoulders, the weight of the world pressing down on him once again."You're meeting with Leo tomorrow?" I asked softly, sitting up beside him.He nodded, his face unreadable. "Yeah. He's back, and he'll want an update."I didn't need to ask what kind of update. The search for Amber Raven was one of those things that had been haunting Dominic since-ever, really-I'd known him. I knew better than to pry, especially when the matters involved Leo Levine. The less I knew, the safer I'd be-or so Dominic believed.The rest of the day was a blur, because Dominic's meeting with Leo hung over our heads. By the time that hour of dread came, he kissed me softly before he left, and as was usual with him, his touch lingered, as though not to release me."Stay safe," I whispered inaudibly."You too," he said with an intense gaze. Then he was g
Last Updated : 2025-01-22Deadly Affair with My Brother In-Law Chapter 38: Isabella's Jealousy
Aurora's POV Isabella continued to flutter around, always the perfect actress. She was worried for me, as a friend should be; but inside, I knew all this was for show and tell. Her smile never reached her eyes, nor did her warmth feel anything but as cold as this winter wind outside. I could smell her plotting-scheming backstage. She was still going to turn me over to Patrick: deliver me like some pawn in whatever game it was that they were playing.Every time she walked into a room, tension would rise; Dominic seemed blind to her deceit, or he was too sidetracked with the larger threats to notice it. But I saw it, every sideways glance, every whisper behind closed doors, even every feigned interest in my wellbeing-it was all a performance, and I was the unwilling audience.One afternoon, I overheard her on the phone, speaking in hushed tones. "Yes, Patrick. Everything is going according to plan. Dominic and Aurora have no idea. I'll make sure she's delivered to you soon."My heart s
Last Updated : 2025-01-23Deadly Affair with My Brother In-Law Chapter 39: The Injury
Aurora's POVThe next morning dawned with a sense of uneasy calm. Dominic had left early for a meeting, leaving me alone in the mansion. I decided to head to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast. As I moved through the house, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, but I dismissed it as residual paranoia from the chaos surrounding us.I reached the kitchen, feeling the need for a warm cup of tea to settle my nerves. Isabella was already there, bustling around, seemingly busy with her own tasks. She greeted me with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. There was something unsettling about her, but I tried to brush it off, attributing my suspicion to the tense situation we were in.“I’ll make some tea,” I offered, walking towards the kettle on the stove.“No, let me,” Isabella said quickly, stepping in front of me. “You should rest, Aurora. You’ve been through a lot.”I hesitated but then nodded, thinking it best not to argue. I took a seat at the kitchen island, watch

Aurora's POV “Dominic,” she whispered, barely audible, “could you… stay with me? Just for a little while?”I saw the conflict flicker in Dominic’s eyes. He wanted to check on me, I could feel it, but Isabella’s request had him torn. I clenched my jaw, watching as he hesitated, clearly uncomfortable with leaving me alone after what had happened earlier.But then, his desire to make sure Isabella was alright won out. He nodded slowly, giving her a reassuring smile. “Of course, Isabella. I’ll stay with you until you’re feeling better.”Isabella’s lips curved into a faint smile, satisfaction gleaming in her eyes despite her feigned weakness. Her plan was working perfectly, she was keeping Dominic away from me, ensuring that I was left alone and isolated, all while she played the victim.My stomach churned with frustration. I could see through her facade, but Dominic, ever the gentleman, couldn’t. He was blinded by his concern for her well-being, completely unaware of the sinister motives

Aurora's POV I glanced at the faint smear of blood that had seeped through the bandage. It wasn’t much, just enough to make him notice. “It’s nothing,” I replied, trying to downplay it. “I didn’t want to bother you. You had enough on your plate with Isabella fainting.”His jaw tightened, and I could see the guilt weighing heavily on him. “That doesn’t matter. You come first, Aurora. Always.” His words were firm, but I could tell he was still torn, his thoughts muddled with the events of the night before.I gently pulled my hand away, offering him a small smile to ease his worry. “You need some rest, Dominic. You’ve been up all night. I’ll be fine, really. It’s just a small cut. I can take care of it.”He shook his head, clearly not convinced. “Aurora, you’ve been through so much. I should’ve been here with you, not—” He stopped himself, his expression darkening as he glanced back toward Isabella’s room.I placed a hand on his arm, squeezing gently. “Dominic, I understand. You were tr
Last Updated : 2025-01-23Deadly Affair with My Brother In-Law Chapter 42 : The Pregnancy
Aurora's POVThe days seemed to blur together in a haze of uncertainty and discomfort. No matter how much I tried to convince myself that I was fine, my body wasn’t cooperating. The sickness, it seemed, was only getting worse. It started out as nausea in the mornings, but now, it lingered throughout the day. I found myself feeling weak, my energy draining with every step I took.Dominic noticed it before I said a word. He had a way of looking at me, his sharp eyes scanning my face like he could read the very soul beneath. It didn’t escape him when I took a few extra moments to catch my breath or when I sat down longer than I should have."I’m calling a doctor," he said one afternoon, his voice firm, a tone I knew I shouldn’t argue with.I didn’t want to admit it to him, but I was terrified. Something didn’t feel right, and I was too scared to face what that might mean. My stomach churned with worry. Was something wrong with me? Was I simply sick, or was it something more?The doctor a

I was stuck in a corner, watching Dominic as he had intense conversations with powerful men. I did not wish to interrupt him.Something was bothering me, though.My mom's phone number wasn't going through. I didn't text her all that much, so it was strange that she had a message, answering something I never even sent.Shivers ran down my spine.Could it be… Eva and Isabella?They already planted me with that necklace, so it looked like I had stolen it.

Aurora's POV Could it be that the same man who had once sworn to protect me was also hiding an ugly secret? My fingers trembled on the keyboard as I cut and pasted text into my paper. I knew I was playing with fire. But I had no other option. I had to know.The note on the door, the names on the list, the anonymous letter, each one hinted that there was a conspiracy so much larger than I could ever have imagined. And with each piece of evidence that I gathered, the more sinister the image became. I was very angry, and sad, and I was determined. I had to find out the truth about this secret no matter what it may cost me.In the quiet of my room, with nothing but the gentle hum of my laptop and the distant noises of the city outside my window, I swore silently. I would not allow these lost voices to fade into oblivion. I would learn the truth about them, even if it meant challenging the very authorities that had controlled my life.I couldn't help but wonder if someone, quite possibly

Chapter : The Leo Levine CallDOMINIC POV “Leo,” I said, keeping my tone measured, though a quiet urgency simmered beneath.“Dominic,” Leo’s voice crackled through, low and insistent. “I need you to come over to my estate later today. we need to conclusions about the matters I mentioned last time you visited, you no how urgent the matters are.”I frowned slightly. Leo’s summons were never casual. I closed my eyes briefly and replied, “I’m on my way. I’ll leave shortly.” I ended the call and sat back, my mind already churning with possibilities. Leo’s tone hinted at a brewing storm, something was amiss, and it was connected to all Patrick mess up.I looked around my spacious office, a modern sanctuary of power and precision. I looked at the table, files and papers on my desk, I need to go through them before I leave. I looked at the digital screens flashing confidential data, and the quiet hum of the air conditioner were all part of the daily ritual. But today, a sense of foreboding

Dominic's POV After breakfast, I returned to the muted elegance of our home, my mind reeling from the morning's persistent ringing and stealthy whispers. I entered the dining room to find Aurora's mother standing by the window, her face serene but with an undercurrent of suppressed disapproval. Her tone was measured when she finally spoke.You got in late last night, Dominic. We had all gone to bed well before that," she said to me, her eyes searching mine for an explanation I wasn't sure I wanted, or could give.I met her eyes calmly, knowing well enough not to let sentiment get in the way of the delicate balance of our arrangements. "I had business to attend to," I replied curtly, concealing the truth behind a mask of tranquility. There was little room for explanation in our business, where every minute had its own significance.Her eyes tightened slightly as she continued, "I have to discuss something… about Joanna. She threatened last time that she would tell Leo Levine that Auro

Dominic's POV Later that day, on my way back to my private office in my skyscraper headquarters, a peculiar envelope caught my eye on the gleaming mahogany desk. The embossed crest was unmistakable, a symbol of one of the most influential families in our universe , and the stylish calligraphy inside read like a proclamation. an invitation to a birthday party attended by all the Big Four families. I clutched it delicately, a shiver of anticipation running through me as I realized that this evening's gathering was more than a social function. It was a stage for power plays, allegiances to be re-made, and old scores to be settled.I folded the invitation into my pocket, already planning in advance on how I would capitalize on this. However, I did not have long to indulge myself in scheming, as there was another problem that had to be taken care of, Aurora's health.

Aurora's POVAfter eating that morning, My mom was already back in her room. I want to meet her to discuss what Joanna has just mentioned on the call earlier. I walked through the hallway. I was almost close to my mother's room door when I had her speaking to someone on the phone, the voice sounds familiar. But it seems like my mom had her own plans, before I could open the door Dominic called me, “Aurora please I need to speak with you", I have been looking around for you but I didn't know you're here. Dominic's voice was low and it sounds like something is really bothering him. He took my arms. When I looked into his eyes I saw something like fair written all over his face, “Aurora, please don't do anything without telling me,” I overheard you talking to someone on a phone call last night, I know that you're up to something. "I know that Leo Levine will still come after me for hiding you from him but I want to control the situation,” I still have everything in control just be pati

Patrick cursed under his breath. With a frustrated groan, he tore himself away from Isabella, grabbing his phone. He saw Eva’s name flashing again.He kissed Isabella one last time, deep and slow, as if he couldn’t bear to leave. Then, he pulled back, his forehead resting against hers. "I have to go now. It’s urgent."Isabella pouted but let him go, watching as he stood up and grabbed his clothes. "Come back soon," she purred.Patrick didn’t reply, his mind was already shifting back to business. He had a feeling whatever Eva needed to tell him wasn’t good.They drove home, his mind still clouded with thoughts of Isabella, but Eva’s urgent call kept nagging at him. He knew she wouldn’t have called unless it was something serious. As soon as he pulled up in the driveway, he stepped out of the car, adjusting his jacket as he made his way inside.The moment he entered the house, Eva was already standing by the staircase, arms crossed, a sharp glare in her eyes. “So you wouldn’t have come

Isabella poured another glass of whiskey, her fingers slightly unsteady as she leaned against the bar. The bottle was nearly empty, but she didn’t care. The warm burn in her throat and the dizzy haze in her mind made everything feel lighter, more distant. She tilted her head back, taking another long sip before setting the glass down with a heavy thud."You know, Patrick," she slurred, her lips curling into a lazy smirk, "I think we make a good team. Don’t you?"Patrick sat on the couch, his shirt unbuttoned at the top, a lazy grin on his face. His own glass of whiskey hung loosely from his fingers as he took another sip. The warmth of the alcohol had settled deep in his veins, clouding his judgment, making him care less about everything else except the woman in front of him."Of course, Isabella," he muttered, his voice slower than usual. "We’re the perfect team. You get rid of Aurora, and I get to destroy Dominic. Everyone wins."Isabella laughed, the sound soft and a little breathl
