Married To His CEO Brother CHAPTER 14
Audrey's Pov My heart raced as he placed a little box in my hand as soon as I pulled away from our embrace, I smiled and opened the box a shiny diamond 'A' shaped necklace stared back at me. I gasped as it catches the light and it glittered as I turned it but I can't accept this gift, I can't accept this. I lied when I said I deserved him because we are in this marriage for a selfish reason. “Thank you, I don't understand why you did this anyway” I mumbled trying to sound ungrateful, he ignored my comment and pulled me towards the dining area then I spotted a beautiful cake on the dining table. “Wow, you really planned this whole thing all by yourself?” I asked bewildered, “No I had help from our housekeepers and the decoration team, I would have loved to throw a party but I didn't know if you would like that” He replied and I smiled at the purple and silver color balloons, I would be a fool if I say this doesn't make me feel special. “Thank you so much” I really appre

Audrey's Pov Did he just ask me to kiss him? I cleared my throat pretending to be thinking about it but I already made up my mind. “I thought we agreed on asking for something less outrageous,” I remarked and he chuckled. “I guess that is a no then, I'm not surprised that you refused” He chuckled cutting more meat and transferring the pieces into my plate, “I'm sorry, you can ask for something else, anything that doesn't involve intimacy” I asserted. He didn't say anything or even try to protest so I let it go, “Are you going to ask me questions now?” I asked as soon as I was done with my food, he stayed silent cutting the cake and placing a piece on another plate beside me, “Eat first, we will talk after you are done” He mumbled and I nodded. I gave up on eating after three big pieces of cake and the amount of meat I ate was enough, I couldn't try the other dishes so I called for the staff to clear the table and gave the rest. They thanked me and I was worried

Audrey's Pov He showered kisses on my neck and then inhaled the scent of my shampoo, “You should always let your hair down, you look gorgeous with your hair down” He complimented and I pushed him off unwrapping his hands from my waist I stood up. “Thank you for your concern, if you don't mind I would like to be left alone now” I replied ditching my plan to make him squirm, I shouldn't complicate things more than this. He stood up and headed for the door, “I ordered your dress and I'm done with sending invites, before you start getting worried about your father I told my guards to bring him here specially”I smiled at those words, I don't know how to thank him for always being so thoughtful. I ate my breakfast as soon as he left and a few minutes later the maids came to take the tray away, looking at how far I have come I feel proud of the choices I made and Xander has proven to be a good partner. I was still lost in my thoughts when someone knocked on my door, I told

Audrey's Pov I disengaged my arm from Xander's and walked towards the door, just like I predicted Amelia was there arguing with our guards and my father looked exhausted in their midst. “What is going on here?” I asked and they diverted their attention towards me, Amelia's jaw dropped while her mother scowled. “Audrey my dear, you look lovely” My father complimented with a smile on his wrinkled face, I gestured for them to let him pass and was a bit annoyed with them for denying my father access to my own party. “Care to explain why my father was outside?” I glare at the head of the security, “He was allowed in but those two with him didn't have an invite, they refused to let him in saying they were coming with him” He explained. I guess my invite got lost in the mail or my assistant didn't care to send it to them, she dislikes Amelia and I understand she didn't want her at my party. “Let them in, they are already creating a scene” I look back at our audience, Xande

Audrey’s POVMy anger rose to high levels as I clenched my fists in rage.Who did he think he was? Appearing at my party and attempting to ruin everything? Was he a joke?I looked at Xander who had a calm demeanor about him.“Aren’t you going to do something?” I asked in fear of that man running tonight but he shook his head.“He’s drunk. Let him let it out.”I growled, holding my rage within but it was barely holding together.I could tell that if I didn’t do anything, I could explode and I didn’t want that to happen.I grabbed a drink and downed it as Zachary gave a speech but I didn’t care.I wasn’t here for the stupid speech.“I’m going upstairs,” I said as I looked at Xander, expecting him to come with me.He nodded and before he could follow me, Zachary broke a bottle of wine which had Xander excusing himself and going to check the damage caused.I ended up walking upstairs and headed for the balcony at the end of the hall.While standing there, I felt tears rush to my eyes but

Audrey’s POVI could see the way she flinched and her expression remained hard, but she had a flicker of something else on her face.She had a very dark expression as she looked at me with anger.“You know something,” she smiled as I tried to stay awake while she talked. “You may think you’re free but you are not. If you don’t do as I say, I swear to the Lord who made me I will make sure Xander knows everything.”But now she had lost me.Everything? About what?She was confused or what?Did she even know what she was saying?I blinked, confused. “Everything? What are you talking about?”She took a drink and finished everything as she gently dropped her cup to the ground and stretched her body.She was enjoying this.She wanted my attention and now she got it.Now I wanted to know what she wanted to tell my husband that would make him see me in another light.She leaned in, her voice low and dangerous. “Oh, you know. The little things. The skeletons in your closet. How you manipulated

Xander’s POV“She is her own person. Get that through your thick skull. I can’t believe you and I grew up in the same home.”“Is that what you think this is?” Zach moved like he was drunk. “She’s mine. You stole her from me.”Zach wavered, swaying slightly on his feet. His face was flushed, either from the alcohol or the anger—or both. He took a step toward me, his fists still clenched, and for a moment, I thought he might actually try to hit me.“I hate you,” he muttered, his voice trembling. “You think you’re better than me. You think you can just take whatever you want.”I shook my head, feeling a mix of anger and pity. “You’re drunk, Zach. You don’t know what you’re saying.”But then, before I could react, he lunged at me, his fist swinging wildly. It was a sloppy, uncoordinated punch, and I easily dodged it. He stumbled forward, losing his balance, and crashed to the floor in a heap.“How about…” I tried to help him up but he kicked my leg which had me stabbing back.He jumped to

Xander’s POVI looked at her at the stairs, her stance before me showing that she wanted me to do something with her.Her cleavages were her defining features with her short gown barely going to her knees.She used her tongue to lick her teeth as she showed her pearly whites with her eyes eating me up like I was a snack.Amelia could be seductive when she wanted, but she should know that I was with someone else. Her sister.I was not leaving Audrey for her.“Hey there big boy,” she smiled at me as I raised a brow in confusion.“What do you want?” I asked as she chuckled, rearing her head back in heavy laughter. “I just want to know how you’re doing. That is all. I don’t think it’s a problem.”“Amelia, I know why you’re here. It’s your sister's birthday. Shouldn’t you be with her and not me?”She rolled her eyes. “She’s drunk. I saw her stumbling around looking for what to do but I’m sure she’s passed out somewhere. You and I have all the time tonight to do something. We can do it on

Stephanie’s povThe new commissioners green eyes bored into mine, as though searching for cracks in my confidence. After a moment, she shrugged and leaned back again. “If that’s the case, then you’re free to leave. I only wanted to make one thing clear to you.”I hesitated, unsure if her calm demeanor was a warning in disguise. “What’s that?”She picked up a file from the corner of her desk and flipped it open. “The case involving Dr. Barve,” she said, her tone deliberate. “It’s being fast-tracked. No delays, no interference. He will face trial, and there’s nothing anyone can do to save him.”My heart sank, but I kept my expression neutral. “I see. Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”She gestured toward the door, her eyes never leaving mine. “Good day, Mrs. Stephanie.”I stood, forcing a smile. “Good day, Commissioner.”As I left the office and made my way back to my car, a storm of emotions swirled within me. The new commissioner was no fool, and her no-nonsense appro

Audrey’s povI couldn’t believe what I had heard. It was strange and I held my breath to stop myself from a screaming in shock.“Yeah,” Nathan continued. “His car exploded last night. It’s been all over the news.”I blinked, trying to process the information. “I’ve been out of town,” I said. “I had no idea. Do they know what happened? Was it an accident?”Nathan sighed. “It’s under investigation, but the preliminary reports suggest foul play. The timing is… suspicious.”“No kidding,” I said, gripping the phone tightly. “So, what happens now? Who’s in charge of the case?”“An interim officer is overseeing things for now,” Nathan said. “But we’re still waiting for the department to assign someone new permanently.”I frowned. “Do you think this new person will handle the case fairly? Barve needs to be held accountable for what he did, Nathan. He nearly killed my father.”“I hear you,” Nathan said. “But you know how this works, Audrey. It all depends on who gets assigned. Some officers ar
Married To His CEO Brother CHAPTER 104
Stephanie’s povI set my glass down and leaned forward, lowering my voice. “I know Barve being in jail looks bad, but it’s not irreversible. A commissioner of police around his case is dead, and with him, a lot of the heat surrounding Barve’s case is gone.”Serena raised an eyebrow. “The commissioner of police is dead? What did you do, Stephanie?”“Nothing,” I said quickly. “That wasn’t me. But the fact remains—his death changes things. The police are scrambling to figure out their next move, which gives us a window of opportunity.”I had to lie to earn her trust. It was needed.“Us?” she repeated, her tone dripping with skepticism.“Yes, us.” I looked her straight in the eye. “Barve needs people on the outside working to clear his name, and you’re the only one I trust to help me with that.”She let out another scoff. “Trust? That’s rich coming from you.”“I’m serious,” I repeated, a little more sharply. “I can’t do this alone. You know people I don’t know, and you’re better at dealin
Married To His CEO Brother CHAPTER 103
Audrey’s pov“No idea,” Mark admitted. “They waited until I was out of earshot to start talking. But whatever it was, Amelia went from sultry to serious real quick.”I frowned, my mind racing. “And you didn’t overhear anything at all?”“Nope,” he said, popping the ‘p.’ “But I’m guessing it wasn’t about company strategy. Stephanie looked… let’s just say, not thrilled.”I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. “Of course not. They’re probably plotting something.”“Well,” Mark added, his tone lightening again, “whatever they’re up to, it can’t be good. But hey, I did my part. Played the clueless assistant, and now I’ve got their guard down.”“You’re the best,” I told him sincerely. “I knew I could trust you.”“Always, boss,” he replied, a smile evident in his voice. “But I’m going to call it a night. All this pretending to be straight is exhausting.”I laughed again, grateful for his humor. “Get some rest, Mark. We’ll figure out their next move soon enough.”“Will do. Enjoy your trip!”
Married To His CEO Brother CHAPTER 102
Amelia’s povShe held me against her chest, smoothing my hair with a hand. “Hush now, child. There is no use crying over spilt milk.”Her words didn’t help. If anything, they made me feel worse. How could she be so uncaring, so unfeeling?I drew back from her, looking straight into her eyes. “You don’t care? He’s dead, mum. Doesn’t that mean anything to you?”Her gaze grew harder for a moment, and then she held my face tightly between her hands. “What does bother me, Amelia, is seeing you like this,” she said finally. “You’re stronger than this. The commissioner’s death may have been a shock for us all, but it is not the end of the world for us- nor will it be for you. I’m just glad you’re safe. That is all.”Her calmness should have been reassuring, but I only felt my anxiety spike higher. I nodded mutely, not trusting myself to say anything in return. Of course she wasn’t being completely honest. Even if she hadn’t caused the explosion herself, mum knew far more than she was willing
Married To His CEO Brother CHAPTER 101
Amelia’s povThe commissioner’s phone rang mid-conversation, and his face instantly turned grave. “I have to take this,” he said, rising from the table without waiting for a reply.I studied him as he paced a few feet off, speaking low and fast into the phone. Whatever it was had to be important. I glanced around at everyone else sitting at the table, but no one else seemed as intrigued as I.After a minute or so he came back, a hard look on his face. “I have to go out,” he said shortly, already heading for the door. I frowned. “Not even goodbye?”He glanced over his shoulder, clearly distracted. “We’ll talk later. Keep in touch.”And just like that, he was gone, the door clicking softly shut behind him as he made his way quickly to the car parked just outside the building. He hadn’t even left me a number or taken mine—a strange move for someone who claimed his interest in speaking with me again soon was genuine.But then again, men like him were always in a hurry—always running arou
Married To His CEO Brother CHAPTER 100
Amelia’s povI sat on the floor of my office with a mat as I laughed with a drink in my hand at the jokes Mark was telling.He laughed and told me all that he had seen and noticed in the office as I agreed with him.I couldn’t even argue with him as he was right.“And those idiots who think that they can do a better job,” I laughed as he nodded and I twirled a strand of my hair around as I looked at him in a seductive way.I sat in a way where he could see my laps and I saw him trying so hard to look away.“Don’t tell me you aren’t attracted to me,” I smiled as he nodded.“You are attractive, Miss amelia.”“Oh please. Call me Amelia. You already called me that earlier. What’s stopping you from taking it a bit further?”“You ate my boss’s sister. I can’t do anything…”“Oh please. You’re so uptight.”I got up and crossed my legs over him as I sat on his thighs which had him gasping. “You can’t tell me you don’t want to take this further.”He nodded as I leaned in to kiss him. It was me
Married To His CEO Brother CHAPTER 99
Audrey’s povI arched an eyebrow at him, my spoon frozen in mid-air above the bowl of ice cream I was about to eat. “And where exactly do you suggest we go on this spontaneous trip?”He grinned. “Trust me. I’ve got a place in mind. Somewhere peaceful, no distractions, no Amelia, no Stephanie.”The idea was tempting, I couldn’t deny that. But I shook my head, the weight of responsibility settling on my shoulders once again. “Xander, I can’t leave my father right now. Not when he’s finally getting better. What if something happens while I’m gone?”He reached across the desk, taking my free hand in his. “Elena’s here. She’s more than capable of looking after your father. And honestly, Audrey, what’s the worst that could happen in two days?”I opened my mouth to argue, but couldn’t dispute that. Elena was really efficient. Was I willing to give myself just two days of peace? It had been so long since my body had known what a break was, maybe it was worth the risk.“You mean it,” I whisper
Married To His CEO Brother CHAPTER 98
Audrey’s pov“Well, this is unexpected,” I said, leaning back in my chair and folding my arms. “What brings you to my office, Stephanie?”She didn’t answer. She just stood there with her arms crossed and that look in her eye that could pierce steel. It was almost funny how mad she looked—like a toddler throwing a fit. I couldn’t help but smile.“I’m here,” she began, her voice was tight and betrayed a rage just below the surface that she could barely contain, “to get answers."I raised an eyebrow. "Answers? About what exactly?”“You know what I’m talking about,” she snapped, her voice rising. “You’ve been meddling where you don’t belong, Audrey. Because of you, Eric has stripped me of my authority in the company. Because of you, I’ve been pushed out of every decision-making process!”I laughed—a genuine, hearty laugh that seemed to infuriate her even more. “Stephanie, you’ve done this to yourself. Don’t act like I’m the villain here. You brought a quack doctor into our home to treat m
