“Be careful, V. Don’t let anyone ruin your wedding with Ivan again,” Brenda said, her voice full of concern as we walked out of the shop. “Your life is finally getting on track, and I really think you should tell Ivan about all of this, except the kissing part, of course. No one wants to hear their brother kissed their bride.”

I gave her a confused look, my mind racing. It felt like my head was going to explode with everything I’d been thinking about lately. “I told Ivan once,” I sighed. “But what can he do? Nathaniel is his brother. If I push this, it’ll just create more problems between them.”

Brenda shook her head, her lips pressed into a thin line. “V, you’ve got to stop protecting everyone but yourself. Ivan deserves to know the whole truth. What if Nathaniel doesn’t stop?”

I hesitated, knowing she was right. Keeping this secret was eating away at me, but the thought of adding more stress to Ivan’s already full plate was unbearable. I didn’t want to be the reason for a rift betwe

    After putting Kelly to bed, I closed the door softly, careful not to wake her, and walked down the hallway heading toward my room. I thought Ivan would be there already, probably waiting for me, but when I pushed open the door, the room was empty.I sighed, brushing my hand through my hair and gathering it into a ponytail. I slipped out of my knee-length gown and headed toward the bathroom for a quick shower. As soon as I stepped into the bathroom, I heard the door creak open. Assuming it was Ivan, I didn’t bother to check.I turned on the shower, letting the cold water run over me, closing my eyes as it refreshed my tired body. After a few minutes under the cool stream, I stepped out, wrapping a towel around myself as I made my way back to the room. Just as I was about to reach the closet to grab my nightwear, I heard that voice, the one I always tried to convince myself was just in my head.“Veronica, I've noticed you've been too caught up with the wedding preparations. You seem to

    "Isn't it wonderful that we're all here, eating together like one happy family, without any problems?" Mrs. Carlos said, her voice dripping with forced sweetness as Mirabel served her dinner. "This is how I’ve always imagined it."Ivan shifted uncomfortably in his seat. His mother’s odd behavior was clearly unsettling him, and I could tell he knew she was pretending. Mrs. Carlos was never good at hiding her true intentions, and pretending to be supportive wasn’t something she mastered either."Yes, Mother, it really does feel good having everyone here," Nathaniel chimed in, giving his mother a knowing look that made my skin crawl. I couldn’t shake the feeling that the two of them were plotting something, working together on whatever schemes they had in mind.Ivan didn’t say a word. Neither did I. He focused on eating in silence, occasionally feeding Kelly, who sat next to him, clinging to his side. Nathaniel’s presence made me tense, as it always did since the incident. Every time I g

    “My love, I have to see Marietta today to finalize the preparations for tomorrow’s wedding,” Ivan said as he pulled a shirt from the closet and slipped it on. He walked over to where I was lying on the bed and pressed a gentle kiss on my cheek before grabbing his phone from the nightstand. “Take care of yourself, and please, don’t let my mother’s words get to you.”I nodded, offering him a bright smile. As Ivan left, I shifted to the center of the bed, adjusting my position. Grabbing my phone from the nightstand, I decided to call Brenda. I needed to tell her about what had happened with Nathaniel when he came into my room.She answered on the first ring.“Hey, V. How are you doing?” she asked warmly. I opened my mouth to reply, but the sound of the door creaking open behind me sent a chill down my spine. I turned sharply and saw Nathaniel standing there, his presence suffocating the air from the room.Fear gripped me as I jumped to my feet, clutching the phone in my hand. Brenda’s vo

    Nathaniel watched me, his expression shifting from arrogance to something resembling concern. But I didn’t want his pity; I wanted him to leave me alone.“Veronica,” he said softly, taking a step closer. “I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just—”“Just what?” I interrupted, my voice trembling with anger and pain. “You think you can just waltz in here and take everything away from me? Your mother already tried once; do you really think I’ll let you do it again?”He sighed, running a hand through his hair, a gesture that did nothing to calm my racing heart. “You don’t understand. I’ve been struggling with this. I didn’t want to feel this way, but I couldn’t help it. You’re captivating, and I didn’t think I’d fall for you when I was supposed to be stalking on you for Ivan.”I wiped my tears away, trying to compose myself, but it was no use. “You don’t get to use your feelings as an excuse for this madness. I don't care, I just don't want you trying to get between Ivan and I. You kissed me that

    “I’m so happy that today is your wedding,” Brenda said, sitting on the plush chair in the dressing room as the hairstylist carefully worked on my hair. “You’re finally getting married to Ivan. You really deserve this.”I smiled, staring at my reflection in the mirror. My heart was full of mixed emotions, excitement, nervousness, and a lingering sense of unease. The day I had dreamed of was here, but with everything that had happened recently, it felt bittersweet.“I still can’t believe it’s happening,” I said softly, my fingers lightly tracing the edge of the table. “After everything, it feels surreal.”Brenda stood up and walked over to me, resting her hand on my shoulder. “You’ve been through a lot, but today is about you and Ivan. Don’t let anything or anyone take that away from you.”I nodded, grateful for her words. I was about to respond when the door creaked open, and my heart skipped a beat, half-expecting to see Nathaniel again. But it was only Kelly, running into the room in

    The video played on the screen, the damning footage of that night when Nathaniel had kissed me. The guests were murmuring, their gazes shifting between the screen and me. My heart pounded so loudly I could hardly hear anything over it.Nathaniel stood from his chair, scanning the room with a confused expression. He shook his head as if trying to deny what was unfolding in front of everyone.“Ivan, please, it’s not what it looks like. I can explain,” I said, my voice trembling, trying to reach Ivan, who stood frozen, his gaze locked on the screen.“Ivan, nothing happened. It’s a setup! You have to believe me!” Nathaniel added, his voice pleading, but Ivan didn’t even glance at him. He was like a statue, eyes dark with disbelief and rage.Then, in an instant, Ivan turned and punched Nathaniel square in the face. The sound of the blow echoed through the hall as Nathaniel staggered backward, holding his jaw.“I didn’t do anything! It was an accident!” Nathaniel tried to defend himself, bu

    “It was them, Nathaniel and Mrs. Carlos,” I cried, sitting on the couch in Brenda’s apartment, still wearing my wedding gown. The veil had been torn into two pieces, and streaks of mascara ran down my cheeks from all the crying. The day I had pinned so much hope on had been completely shattered. Kelly lay quietly in my lap, resting her head, not saying a word since we left the wedding venue. I felt terrible for her, this wasn’t how I’d imagined things would turn out, especially after telling her Ivan was her father.“I knew something was wrong when Mrs. Carlos suddenly changed. I should’ve known she had something up her sleeve. And Nathaniel...”“V, calm down. We’ll figure it all out later,” Brenda said, her voice gentle but firm. “Right now, you need to get in touch with Ivan. He’s the one dealing with the biggest shock.”“I can’t, Brenda. His line isn’t going through, and I’m not sure he even wants to talk to me right now,” I sniffed, feeling the crushing weight of everything. “My l

    Tears rolled down my cheeks as I stared at the hateful comments flooding the internet. The notifications had been piling up on my phone since I woke up, each sharp ding like a dagger, cutting deeper into my already shattered heart.Veronica Carlisle doesn't deserve to be with Ivan Carlos. She's a snake.How could she do that to him?I'm sure Nathaniel never wanted to do it. She probably led him on.How can she fall in love with two brothers?She kissed him, Veronica Carlisle. I never liked her from the start.She's a club girl, what do you expect from someone like that? Poor Ivan. He thought she loved him.The words blurred through my tears, but their sting remained. Each comment felt like a slap in the face. People I didn’t know, people who knew nothing about my life, were judging me, labeling me a monster. They didn’t know the truth. They didn’t know what Nathaniel had done, how Mrs. Carlos had played her part in ruining everything."Veronica Carlisle has no shame."My chest ached,

    He pulled out and put it in again, going faster as I held onto him, his mouth finding mine in a searing kiss. As his thrusts increased and I felt that wave of pleasure again washing over me, I could only grip him tighter and close my eyes, willing myself to come faster. My climax ripped through me and I clutched onto him, my whole body shaking uncontrollably as my release hit me hard, sending me into oblivion. I felt his warm cum spilling over my stomach, soaking into me as he held me tightly.

    We spent a long time on the lawn that night, our bodies entwined as we lay side by side on the soft grass, staring up at the sky. The moon was full, its silvery light casting a glow over the world around us. A gentle breeze rustled the trees in the distance, carrying with it the scent of pine and fresh earth. I felt a deep sense of contentment, a peacefulness I hadn’t known in years.“I never thought a time like this would come,” I said softly, breaking the silence, my voice barely above a whisper. “After all that your mom did to me.” I turned my head to look at Ivan, who still had his gaze fixed on the sky, his profile illuminated by the soft glow of the moon.He didn’t respond right away, but I saw the faint smile tug at the corners of his lips. After a moment, he turned toward me, his blue eyes meeting mine with an intensity that took my breath away. “I knew it would come,” he said, his voice steady, reassuring. “But I didn’t think it would be this soon.”He pulled me closer to hi

    Brenda had her bags packed as we stood together at the doorway, holding each other in a long, tight hug. She had been my rock throughout all the madness, and now she was going on a vacation for her work trip.“I’m going to miss you,” I said, my voice heavy with emotion. “I don’t know how I would have gotten through any of this without you.”Brenda smiled, pulling back to look at me, her eyes filled with warmth. “You’ve been strong, Veronica. Stronger than you give yourself credit for. I’m always just a call away, and don’t you dare forget that. You're always welcome in Paris whenever you feel like seeing your Fav cousin.”“I won’t forget all you did for me.” I said, wiping a tear that had started to roll down my cheek. “Thank you for everything.”We shared one last hug before she picked up her suitcase. Mark, her new romantic interest, was waiting by the car, ready to drive her to the airport. She gave me a wink and a playful nudge toward the house.“Take care of that man in there and

    “Yes, Alfonso, I'll come over today to give you the mansion documents,” Ivan said as I walked into the living room. He was sitting on the couch, phone in hand, his tone serious. “Make sure it's confidential. I don't want anyone knowing about it.”I placed the cup of coffee I was holding on the table and took a seat opposite him. His call ended, and he looked at me with a warm smile. “Thanks, my love, for the coffee,” he said, reaching for his cup.I smiled back, taking a sip from mine, but I couldn't shake the thoughts swirling in my mind. I lowered my gaze, and Ivan noticed the unease written across my face. He stood up, still holding his cup, and moved to sit beside me, his expression softening with concern.“What’s wrong, my love?” he asked gently, placing his hand on my shoulder. The warmth of his touch was comforting, but it wasn’t enough to ease the knot tightening in my chest.I sighed, my voice shaky as I spoke. “I’m just thinking... since you're selling the mansion here in Pa

    Ivan’s hand found mine, squeezing it gently. “I was blind, Veronica. I thought I was protecting my family, but in reality, I was only protecting their lies. I hate that it took me so long to realize.”I was silent for a moment, letting his words sink in. The hurt, the betrayal, it was still there, but hearing Ivan acknowledge his role in it, hearing him apologize with such sincerity, softened some of the walls I had built.“I just wanted to be enough for you, Ivan,” I whispered. “But your mother made me feel like I was nothing, and you… you never defended me.”He turned toward me, lifting my chin so our eyes met. “You were always enough, Veronica. I’m so sorry I didn’t make you feel that way. I was too wrapped up in my own fears, in trying to live up to what my mother expected. But that’s over now.”I nodded, my heart aching with a mixture of relief and sadness. “I don’t want to go through that again, Ivan. I can’t. Kelly can’t.”“I know,” he whispered, his voice full of regret. “I do

    “Daddy, why's mommy over there is she trying you?“ Kelly asked looking up at Ivan. Her question seemed innocent enough, but it hung in the air like a fragile thread, threatening to unravel the delicate balance I was trying to keep.Ivan glanced at me, his eyes searching for some kind of permission or understanding. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, not sure how to handle the moment. How could we explain this tangled mess to Kelly without breaking her heart?Ivan smiled down at Kelly and gently stroked her hair. “No, sweetheart. Mommy’s just giving us some time to enjoy our ice cream. She’s not avoiding me.” He tried to keep his tone light, but even Kelly could sense that things weren’t right.She wrinkled her nose, unconvinced. “But you should sit together. Like in the movies.”Ivan chuckled softly, though it was strained. “Maybe someday we will, princess. For now, let’s just enjoy our ice cream, okay?”Kelly, satisfied for the moment, returned her focus to her ice cream, but I coul

    “Mommy, are they gone?” Kelly whispered, pushing open the door and making her way towards us.I turned towards her and scooped her up into my arms. “Yes, honey. They’re gone,” I said softly as I carried her over to the couch in the living room, placing her gently down.She looked up at me, her innocent eyes filled with expectation. “Is it Daddy?” she asked, her voice small but hopeful.I hesitated, glancing at Brenda, who was sitting on the couch, her attention fixed on her phone. The weight of Kelly’s question hung in the air. How could I explain everything to her, a child who only wanted to feel safe and loved by the people she thought should protect her?I opened my mouth to say something when the door creaked open. I looked up and saw Ivan standing in the doorway, watching us with a mixture of hope and regret. He was part of Kelly’s life, whether I liked it or not, but the complexities of our situation made everything more difficult.I sat down next to Kelly, brushing a hand throu

    Mrs. Carlos’ face paled, her eyes widening in shock as the weight of Ivan’s words hit her. For the first time, her composed mask slipped, revealing the fear and desperation underneath. “Nathaniel told you…?” she whispered, her voice trembling. “That ungrateful, how dare he?”Ivan released her wrist and stepped back, shaking his head in disbelief. “Yes, he told me everything. And I still can't believe you of all people would do that to me, I thought father was the bad one. Because he left when we were young, but now I see you for your true colors. I thought the problem was Nathaniel, all this time, I thought it was just him acting out of spite, but it was you pulling the strings. You did everything you could to make sure we would never be happy. And for what? Your pride? Your obsession with control, money? Did you stop for once your think about me?“Mrs. Carlos’ eyes flickered between Ivan and me, her face contorted with a mixture of fury and panic. “I did it to protect you!” she spat.

    The loud banging on the door drew our attention, and I immediately stood up. "Wait here, baby. Don’t come out until I say so." I told Kelly “Okay, mommy.“ She nodded, her wide eyes filled with fear, as I closed the door behind me. My heart pounded as I made my way to the living room. The constant hammering on the door sent chills down my spine. Who could it be? The first thought that flashed through my mind was Ivan's fans. Maybe they hadn’t accepted my statement on the news and had come to confront me in person.Brenda appeared from the laundry room, her expression mirroring my own, fear. We were both terrified of who might be on the other side of that door. I stepped forward to check, but Brenda held up a hand, stopping me."You should go back," she whispered urgently. "I’ll open the door and see who it is.""It’s too dangerous. I can’t let you do that," I whispered back, glancing toward the kitchen as a possible hiding place in case it really was Ivan's fans."I’m scared, V," she
