Married To His CEO Brother CHAPTER 9
Audrey's Pov I wasn't expecting my boyfriend to be Zachary, I was more than disappointed because it wasn't who I thought it was. My assistant brought him in and he wore a remorseful look, okay here we go again. “Hey, I... Um I just wanted to let you know that I didn't want to do it I was only following Amelia's introductions, she threatened to kill me if I didn't give in to her. She would never be like you and you know I love you too much” He finished his rubbish speech with his sad puppy face. “Are you done? Cause you need to leave” I affirmed and he went down on his knees like the pathetic asshole that he is, I roll my eyes at his facade. “You know how much I love you Baby please, I don't know what Xander told you but I know him, he lies and manipulates you to do things you don't want to do. He is using and the same way he did with your sister, just listen to me this one time and I swear I will never do you wrong again” He begged looking like a clown to me, “Are you still going

Audrey's Pov I left home earlier than I planned to the next day, not because I was running away from him but because I didn't know what to say to him. I don't need a soothsayer to tell me he meant those words he said to me, I don't even know what is his endgame in all these. But those words he said kept replaying inside my head all day long, I got a text when it was time for lunch and it was from Xander. Asking if we could have lunch together I badly wanted to say no but that would look weak so I accepted, “Ma'am you have a visitor” My assistant announced with flushed cheeks, I wouldn't blame her Xander is the kind of good-looking that slaps you on the face. Do I find him attractive? Yes, but I have no interest in claiming him. I don't even know what that means but it sounded so scary and possessive. He was standing outside my office with a bouquet of roses and my eyes widened, now I know why my assistant was giving me those looks. “Uh.. What's the occasion?” I asked as soon as

Audrey's Pov My blood boiled as I glared at the excessive amount of makeup on her artificial-looking face, she looked like she got some work done on her nose. She also looks like she got work done on her face with her plum lips looking like a duck, Xander turned at the last minute and she kissed his cheek instead. “Sarah, it's also nice to see you again. I guess you haven't changed much” He said in an exhausted tone, I just watched the interaction ignoring the thought feeling in my chest. I might have thought of leaving the table for them but I'm not a chicken and it will make it too obvious that I'm pissed at her for disrupting us, I'm not jealous I just hate the fact that he is paying her so much attention. “You know I love..” “Ahem” I cleared my throat interrupting her speech in case she forgot there was someone else there, she averted her gaze from Xander and her blue eyes fell on me with a frown on her face, then it was gone in a blink as if it wasn't there in the fi

Audrey's Pov I stood up to leave and he chuckled as I picked up my purse, “I have no intention of enduring this torture, lunch break is over I have work to do” I uttered blankly. “We are the bosses, that rule doesn't apply to us we can go back anytime” He probed but I had already made up my mind to leave, I would rather leave than hear him speak to me that way. I left the restaurant and went back to work leaving him to his devices, his driver can always go pick him up whenever he is ready to go. I finished all my work for the day and decided to go see my father, I didn't bother you to tell Xander I only told him I would be coming home late today, I drove straight to my father's house after leaving the parking lot. I was told that my father had a visitor when I got there, I wasn't surprised to see my father's attorney with some documents on his hand. “Hello Dad,” I smiled at him and his face brightened, “Audrey my dear, you came at the right time I was just writing my wi

Audrey's Pov By the time I got back to the living room my stepmother and Amelia were there with my father, Amelia frowned when she saw me coming out of the kitchen. I didn't want to cause any drama in front of my father so I bowed slightly and walked towards the exit, “You should visit us soon, come with your husband” Eric said then he started coughing again, our lawyer must have left because I didn't meet him here.“I will do just that” I replied walking out the door, however, my stupid sister followed me just like I presumed she would. “He is tired of you so soon? I wonder why you are always here when you are supposed to be with your dear husband, perhaps he doesn't love you and poor Audrey thought she got a second chance to love, unfortunately, she went to seek it where there is none” She mocked and I halted in my tracks. She is right, I took that bargain without thinking and I might be in for a loveless marriage of convenience for the rest of my life, was it really

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

Married To His CEO Brother CHAPTER 105
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

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

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

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
Married To His CEO Brother CHAPTER 97
Stephanie’s pov“You’re mad,” I hissed, trying to maintain my composure even as fear coiled around my throat.“Mad?” His laughter was sharp and cruel. “You haven’t even begun to see mad.” He loosened his grip slightly, but his presence was still oppressive. “Do you think I didn’t hear every word you said to Barve back there? You two plotting your next move, thinking you’re so untouchable. Well, guess what? I want in. Whatever it is you’re planning—Eric, the company, the inheritance—I want a piece of it.”I froze, my mind racing as I tried to process his words. He knows.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I lied, my voice steady despite the tremor in my heart.“Oh, don’t play coy with me.” His grin widened, and he took a step back, crossing his arms. “Shall I spell it out for you? How about I start with telling Eric whose child Amelia really is?”My breath caught in my throat, and for a moment, the room seemed to tilt. He couldn’t possibly know. Could he?The commissioner’s eyes
