Married To His CEO Brother CHAPTER 119
Audrey’s povAs I lay in bed, the soft glow from my bedside lamp washing over the room, I heard the door open. I looked toward it and found Xander entering with an annoyed look on his face. He glanced at me then dropped his gaze to the ground as if he was still deep in thought. I sat up and smiled at him.“How was your swim,” I spoke playfully, hoping to break his apparent sullen mood.Xander sighed and shook his head. “Daniel,” he huffed. “He was there, strutting around like a peacock, said something about Lola then started spouting off all this other crap about my life.”My smile fell. “What crap?”Xander waved it off. “Nothing worth repeating. Just Daniel being his usual self—trying to stir up trouble and make me question everything. I don’t know why he can’t just mind his own business.”I nodded in agreement, feeling exactly the same way. Daniel had an uncanny talent for showing up at the most inconvenient times and saying things that got under Xander’s skin like nothing else coul

Audrey’s povHe grinned, clearly pleased. “That’s the spirit. You won’t regret it, I promise.”I wasn’t so sure about that.Later that evening, I found myself getting ready for the party. I chose a simple yet elegant dress, nothing too flashy but enough to make an impression. As I looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was a bad idea.When I stepped out of the room, Daniel was waiting downstairs, dressed in a sleek black suit. He looked polished, but there was still that mischievous glint in his eyes that made me wary.“You clean up well,” he said with a smirk.“Don’t push it,” I replied, grabbing my clutch.We headed out in one of the family cars, Daniel driving. The atmosphere in the car was tense, though he tried to make small talk. I responded with short answers, keeping my guard up.When we arrived at the party, the place was buzzing with energy. It was a grand event, held in a sprawling mansion with lights twinkling in the gardens and music floati

Audrey’s povThe officer approached him. “Mr. Daniel, is it? We need to ask you a few questions as well.”Daniel shrugged, clearly unfazed. “Sure, go ahead.”“Where were you during the time of your stepmother’s disappearance?” the officer asked.Daniel leaned against the wall, his smirk growing. “I was at the same party as Audrey. We were together the whole time, weren’t we?” He glanced at me, his tone almost mocking.I nodded reluctantly. “Yes, we were.”The officer seemed to take note of this, then continued. “Did you notice anything suspicious before or during the party?”“Suspicious?” Daniel repeated, pretending to think. “Not really. It was just a regular party. Lots of people, lots of drinks. Nothing unusual.”The officer nodded and finished his notes. “Alright, thank you. We’ll let you know if we have more questions.”Daniel smirked again and walked off, heading towards the living room.But Xander’s patience snapped. “Daniel!” he shouted, storming after him.I hurried to catch

Audrey’s pov“I have to.” I said. “Your mother is missing Xander. What if he’s involved? Trust me. I can do this.”Xander hesitated, torn. “I don’t like this,” he muttered.“I’ll be careful,” I promised. “But we need answers. If Daniel knows anything about what happened to your mother, we have to find out.”He thought about this for a while before groaning in anger.“This is dangerous. If anything happens to you I won’t be able to forgive myself.”“Nothing will happen but we can’t just ignore all that is going on.”He nodded. “Alright.” his gaze flickered to my case. “Just... be safe. And call me if anything happens. Don’t forget to leave your location on so I’ll be able to find you easily.”I shrugged into my coat I picked from a seat, “will do that.”I rushed out to my car and got in. I knew this wouldn’t be as easy as just tailing Daniel without him knowing, it would be more, but I was going to do it anyway. I had to know what he was doing.***The drive along the dark, empty stre

Audrey’s povI needed to distract Daniel. Fast. If he knew that Xander was in his room this would go into a full blown war and I wanted to avoid that by any means necessary.Then an idea popped into my head, and as much as I hated it, I knew it was the only way to buy Xander some time. “You know,” I rolled my eyes at him playfully. “You really don’t have to walk around this house shirtless Daniel.”Daniel laughed quietly, clearly enjoying himself. “Why not? I’ve got nothing to hide.”"Maybe,” I said, crossing my arms and smirking. “But you’re doing it on purpose, aren’t you?”He laughed again, stepping closer to me. “And what if I am?”I pretended to look him over, forcing myself to act as though I was impressed. “I guess I have to admit… you’ve kept yourself in shape.” I gave a small, awkward smile. “I mean, I can see why you’re confident.”Daniel looked at me in surprise, then grinned widely. “Wow, I didn’t think you noticed, Audrey. Are you finally coming to your senses?”I groan

Daniel’s povI was standing in the living room, smiling to myself as I replayed the phone call I had gotten a little while ago. It was a police officer, and he had a very serious tone as he explained how my beloved half-brother, Xander, and his wife, Audrey had come into the station to report me.My crimes were finally revealed. Fraud, Embezzlement, Theft. The officer even said they dumped a massive amount of evidence on him.I wasn’t surprised. I had known this was coming from Xander.This was a sad thought but did he think he could come against me?I scoffed. He was pathetic.And to think he could take the so-called evidence to the police to do what? Have me arrested? What a joke. I had covered all my tracks and no one could find anything from me.As I stood there, my smile grew wider. They thought they could outsmart me, but they didn’t realize how much I was truly willing to do in order to save myself.I was pulled from my thoughts as the front door opened and Xander and Audrey

Lola’s povI drove to the house only to see if Xander was home but the guards tried to turn me away.This was strange and I felt mad. How could he do this to me?“I’m here to see Xander and I’m not leaving until I see him.”“Ma’am, they are going through a tough time and right now, no visitors are allowed.”I was so Angry I used my bag to hit him.I could swear that my heart rate went up a bit at that period but I tried to calm my raging self.With a nod, I called Xander on his phone and complained as he told me to give the guard the phone.I turned to the man, “it’s for you.”He collected it with a grunt and then I watched his face go from a frown to frustrated in a couple of seconds.That felt good since he didn’t know who I was yet. I had shown him and now he was going to fear me from now on.He gave me my phone back as he smiled at me but I could tell it was fake.“You may come in,” he said as he opened the door for me and I entered the compound.It was still as beautiful as the l

Audrey’s povThe minute I saw Lola leave the house, I cussed at myself for even thinking she was different.“You and the lady seemed to have been in some kind of heated argument,” a cop said to me as I nodded.“I just don’t want to see her again. Let her get lost.”Suddenly, we heard someone coming in as we turned to see Daniel with a smirk on his face.I couldn’t stop feeling guilty for turning his documents over to the police and I hoped he wouldn’t be mad when he found out we were the ones who did it.I looked at Xander who was talking to a cop as he walked to me and the cop.“Well you look rattled. What happened?” He asked me as I shrugged.“Got into a fight with Lola. She was trying to get with Xander but that was the wrong thing for her to do so i had to put her in her place.”He nodded as the officer decided to leave us alone.Suddenly, his phone rang as he answered it and smiled.“What are you smiling at?” I asked as he looked at me with a nod. “Oh nothing. I just love it whe

Author’s povThe police quickly surrounded Daniel, cuffing him as he groaned on the floor. Blood trickled from his nose, and his face was twisted in anger and humiliation.“You’ll regret this, Xander!” Daniel spat, glaring up at his brother.Xander leaned down, his expression calm but firm. “Regret? That’s something you should feel for all the lives you’ve ruined. It’s over, Daniel.”As Daniel struggled against his restraints, the head of police stepped forward. He pulled out a list of charges and began reading them aloud.“Daniel Clarkson, you are being charged with the following: the kidnapping of Mrs. Wright, the attempted murder of Xander Clarkson, embezzlement from your family’s company, obstruction of justice, and numerous other crimes. You’ll be facing a long time in prison.”Daniel’s face contorted with rage. “None of it is true!” he shouted. “This is a setup! You’re all working against me!”“Your corrupt cop was also seen running off and right now he’s willing to testify agai

Author’s povMrs. Wright sat in the dark room, straining her ears for the movements of her captors. It had been a few hours since they taken her from her old place and brought her to this new place, hours marked by terror and solitude and confusion. But something inside had changed that night. Something told her she couldn’t be captive anymore. With newfound resolve, Mrs. Wright steeled herself and tiptoed to the door.The house was still; her captors didn’t suspect a thing when they had gone to bed earlier. Mrs. Wright cautiously unlocked the door, afraid of its creaking as she turned the knob to let herself out into the night air that was cool and freeing.She was done hiding. This time, she was going to save herself.The road stretched before her was infinite in the dark. She knew that with each step she took away from her prison it was another opportunity to get to her son and get out a solution. Her heart was beating both in fear and anticipation of the worst. She ran through t

Daniel’s povI stormed out of his office, hot blood rushed through my veins. How dare he? Who the hell does this man think he is? Some kind of a superhero coming to ‘save’ the company. He was going too far and asking too much. I got out of the company and headed for my car as I sat down there and leaned back in it. I was so angry I couldn’t hold myself back.My hands gripped tightly around my steering wheel; those knuckles were all white as if they were screaming ‘help!’ in some invisible way. In anger, I punched my steering wheel a couple of times before leaning back in my seat.I then turned the ignition and drove directly to the warehouse where I had everything under control—my men, my operations, and my future. It was a sanctuary of sorts for me, a place where I could reorganize my thoughts and plans without any distractions or disturbances. A couple of my men were already there when I arrived.They all stood up as soon as they saw me enter, feeling the unrest radiating off me. “

Audrey’s povI clearly remembered the drive to the cabin that morning. I’d driven so slowly, looking in the rearview mirror every few seconds to make sure I wasn’t being followed. The streets had been practically empty, but everything had felt still and foreboding because of it. When I had gotten to the place, I had parked a few hundred meters from the cabin itself, hiding my car behind some trees before continuing on foot.The closer I got to the cabin, the more uneasy I felt. Something was very wrong. The place looked abandoned—deserted—but it wasn’t just that. It was something else; something I couldn't explain.“Mrs wright?” I asked while staying at the door and knocking. I hoped no one would bash my head in as I opened it inwards as it groaned under my hand as I gave it a push so I could step inside.The sight that met my eyes made my stomach plummet. The entire cabin was in shambles. Furniture was flipped over, papers were strewn across the floor, and a faint acrid smell wafted

Xander’s povI sat in my office, the door closed behind me as I went through the financial reports once more. My anger simmered beneath the surface. It was bad enough that the company was in such a state, but the audacity of the board to act like nothing was wrong infuriated me. My father had worked too hard to build this company, and I wasn’t about to let it crumble under their watch—or Daniel’s.Just as I was contemplating my next move, there was a sharp knock on the door. Before I could answer, one of the board members stepped in, closing the door behind him. He was an older man, someone who had been with the company for decades, yet his face now looked pale and nervous.“Mr. Xander,” he started, his voice shaking, “I need to talk to you.”I reclined back in my chair, signaling for him to continue. “What is it?” I questioned, but I already knew he didn’t come here to help me with anything but to stress me.The man hesitated, and then he leaned forward a little. “I think you should

Xander’s povI was in my company office gazing at the files lying on my table. My secretary had compiled every possible document pertaining to the financial record of the company and I was growing more angry after going through it. How was it not tallying? Who drew this large amount of money, the supporting bills and receipts were in no record?I could see lots of money being removed from the company but there was no mention of them being used for the company again. Why was this a thing?I called for my assistance as she appeared before me.“Is this all?” I asked as she nodded.“Yes, Mr. Xander. I think this is all there is available in the system…”“You think?” I interrupted her as she gulped.“It is all I could find in the system.”I leaned back in my chair and drummed my fingers on my desk. “This doesn’t make any sense… Someone has been withdrawing money at absurd rates recently, and with no record of what it’s being used for? How the hell does that work?”She didn’t answer, but sh

Daniel’s povI smiled after hearing his voice. Xander, always so easy to rile up. “Calm down, baby brother,” I scoffed. Taking another sip of my drink as I got to my feet to face him. “I was merely conversing with her. No need to get your knickers in a twist.”He stepped closer, glowering. “I said, stay away from her.”I saluted him sarcastically and stepped back a pace or two. “Okay, okay. Chill out if it bothers you so much.”As I walked away, I glanced back at Xander over my shoulder. “You should really learn to relax,” I drawled, mocking him as much as possible. “It’s bad for your health, all this stress you carry around.”Walking through the doors out of the pool area with self-satisfaction rolling off me in waves, I didn’t care about Xander and his anger. Not when they were both going to be defeated very soon.Back in my room, I poured myself another drink and stared out the window. It was a clear blue night with stars in the sky, but I wasn’t looking at the sky or the stars or

Daniel’s povLola’s body went rigid and her face turned a shade of red that clashed horribly with her hair. “Audrey?” she screeched.“Yes,” I said, nodding. “Why would she do this to me?”I shrugged. “I don’t know. But she must have seen that maybe Xander was looking at you a certain way and she just wanted you out of the equation.”Lola laughed cynically, and shook her head. “Audrey is going to regret this.” She said, “She honestly believes that nobody is going to stop her? For real.”I said nothing, just letting her stew. If nothing else, getting angry at Audrey took her mind off what had happened. "Wow, you look like hell," I said, taking a step back from the chart."Gee, really? How would you have guessed?" she snapped and rolled her eyes at me.I smirked, leaning against the wall. “You’re lucky to be alive, you know.”Her glare seemed to darken at my words. “If your people were competent at making sure no harm came to you and I, this wouldn’t have happened in the first place!”
Married To His CEO Brother CHAPTER 130
Audrey’s pov“No,” I said, just as firmly. “But we can’t do anything stupid either. Any wrong step in this thing and it could throw us all over the edge. We just found her, let’s be careful and tail her for a while while trying to know what’s going on.”He gave a long heavy sigh and rubbed his fingers across his forehead. His eyes looked miserable because he knew I was right."Let's think this through," I said softly, resting my hand on his arm. "We'll find a solution for her. But we have to do it right."Reluctantly, he nodded, but his shoulders drooped in defeat. "Okay," he whispered. "But we need to hurry. I don't think she can last much longer."I nodded with both relief and determination. ***Daniel’s povI was in the car already heading to the house when I got a call from my men. “Boss, we have a problem.”“What is it?” I growled while clutching the wheel.“Mrs. Wright brought a stranger into the house she is hiding in, and now that we’ve arrived, the person is gone.”I frowne
