Fell For My Ex's Brother In Law #Chapter 38: An Enlightening Lunch Break
"Ev, can I talk to you?" Roger is standing in the doorway to my office, leaning against the frame and fiddling nervously with his suit jacket cuffs. He looks uncertain and upset, and I'm instantly on alert."Of course," I say, setting down my pen from where I'm making notes on the last physical I'd just given the Alpha that morning. I always like to hand write my notes and type them up later; it helps me remember more without having to check the files for every little detail."Do you wan
Fell For My Ex's Brother In Law #Chapter 39: An Emergency Meeting with Kent
"And I don't know what to do to stop it, either!" I finish on a semi-hysterical note two hours later, having taken the rest of the afternoon off from work by pleading a bad headache.Kent extends an arm across the table to squeeze my free hand, the one that's not currently clutching my second glass of whisky like a lifeline. I lift it to my lips and down the rest of it in one, then raise it shakily toward the bar.Dave nods and walks over with the bottle, topping me up with a stiff doubl
Fell For My Ex's Brother In Law #Chapter 40: Conferring with Liam
Marcus waits at the table he booked in advance, twirling the stem of his wine glass through his long fingers as he does so. Liam is late, but Marcus isn't worried or bothered about it. Liam has been run off his feet even more than usual lately; he's earned quite a bit of leeway when it comes to punctuality.Marcus has chosen the same wine bar as his recent date with Lydia, and where he had the unpleasant run-in with the odious Becki. Honestly, can the woman not take a hint? It's getting ridiculous, the way she pops up at the most inopportune times to pester and flirt.
Fell For My Ex's Brother In Law #Chapter 41: Standing Up to the Luna
I'm at the Alpha's mansion bright and early the next day – a bit earlier than usual, in fact, because I want to review my notes before our physical. I wave to Roger on my way in the door, who gives me a cheerful but guarded wave back.He's still nervous, obviously, and I can't blame him. I haven't yet figured out what to do about Charles and Charis, but I'll need to think of something soon. Kent is looking into it, he says, which I appreciate. But we can't linger too long.I'm wondering if I'll need to step in and do something myself, if Kent can't come up with a plan in time. I hope not – I rely on Kent and the gang to keep me safe, at least for now. I don't want to piss him off, or betray him, or make him think I'm not on his side.I am on his side. I just have to be on Charis's side, too, because it seems like I'm the only one looking out for her. Charles's father has clearly lied to her about everything that's gone down, and Charles himself is now plotting her murder.My own famil
Fell For My Ex's Brother In Law #Chapter 42: Marcus Fights with his Mother
Marcus had come down to his father's office to ask for advice before meeting with his mother. He knew that Dr. Prism examined his father regularly at this time, and he wanted to ask both the Alpha and the doctor for the most up-to-date information on his father's health before he took his concerns to the Luna.He had expected a fight from Jeanette, but what he didn't expect was to hear her screaming like a fishwife so loudly that half the third floor could hear her. People's heads were poking out of offices and bedrooms, looking astonished and trying to eavesdrop without looking like they were eavesdropping."Back to business!" Marcus had snapped repeatedly at them as he hurried along to his father's office. "I'll sort this out."Now, standing in the doorway to his father's office, he takes in the scene before him. His father looks tireder than ever, gray-faced and a little worn as he listens to his mother shriek her fury. He sits straight-backed behind his desk, though, and still has
Fell For My Ex's Brother In Law #Chapter 43: Breaking up with Lydia
"I must say, this isn't your usual style of haunt," Liam says a few hours later, looking around the dive-style bar that Marcus has asked him to meet at. "And certainly not in the early afternoon on a weekday.""Life has taken several unpredictable turns recently," Marcus says drily, tipping his beer in greeting."Beer as well," Liam shakes his head. "What is the world coming to?" He motions to the bartender and asks for a beer himself."I feel like we're proper mates now," Liam says, taking a long pull of his drink. Liam was raised in England with his mother, and Marcus has always found his lilting accent quite charming. They used to joke that it made Liam far more popular with the ladies than he had any right to be.They're not in a joking mood today, however, Marcus thinks sourly. No, this is a meeting to discuss unpleasant business, and better to get on with it."Might as well jump right in," he sighs, and then fills Liam in on recent events.Liam listens attentively, murmuring lit
Fell For My Ex's Brother In Law #Chapter 44: Meeting Marcus Again
The evening I get home after that wild confrontation with the Luna – the one where Marcus stepped in to defend me – I'm beyond exhausted. I enter the villa through the kitchen doors and toss my keys onto the countertop before pulling out my phone to scroll through a takeout delivery service app.Having settled on Chinese, I set my phone on the kitchen table and get myself a glass of water. Musing, I sit down and drum my fingers thoughtfully on the table as I wait for my food to arrive.I could go sit in the living room, but the kitchen is my favorite part of the house, something that's reinforced to me every time I come home. There – there's that word again. Home. I think of the villa as home. I'm starting to think of Kent and the gang as more than just people I've been thrown together with for the sake of a mission. I see them as friends – almost family. They're certainly a better group of people than my actual family.It's a bit funny, the fact that a gang of drug dealers turn out
Fell For My Ex's Brother In Law #Chapter 45: The Witch Doctor from Australia
"It's just weird," Charles snaps at Trent Mickle, who flinches slightly at his boss's tone. "Who is she? Where did she come from?""Dr. Evelyn Prism, from Australia," Mickle begins tentatively, wondering how many times they're going to have this conversation.Charles actually picks up a pen and flings it at Mickle's head. Mickle dodges, and the pen harmlessly hits the doorway with a smack."I know all that," Charles roars at Mickle. "But it doesn't make sense! You know as well as I do that the whole thing is fishy. It's rotten. Something is rotten in the state of this mansion, and her name is – supposedly – Dr. Evelyn Prism.""I just don't know what you want me to say, boss," Mickle says helplessly, waving his hands vaguely. "I've looked her up. She doesn't have a big online presence, but that's not surprising, given that she worked in remote locations for her entire career thus far.""There must be something off," Charles says. "Something you can find. Fabricated degrees, reverse-sea
