Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 1 Betrayal
Bernice "What the hell are you doing?!" My voice trembled with a mix of shock and fury as I stared at the scene before me. There was Fed, my husband, bare-chested, passionately locked in a kiss with a woman. The woman was Melissa, my own sister, wearing my nightgown, in my bed. "Bernie, weren't you supposed to be at the hospital?" Fed's voice was not his usual composed tone, and it was tinged with the huskiness that comes after sex. He looked at me, then at Melissa, his eyes darting between us as if searching for the right lie to smooth things over. Melissa, on the other hand, seemed eerily composed, her long hair splayed across her shoulders, a smug smile playing on her lips. It was as if she had orchestrated this entire scene to torment me. "Bernice, my dear sister, you're back," she cooed, rising from the bed and adjusting the white silk nightgown of mine as if it were her own. "I came in such a hurry that I forgot to pack. I hope you don't mind me borrowing your clothes."
Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 2 Reborn
Bernice "Bernie, wake up!" Someone was vigorously shaking me, and I struggled to pry my eyes open. My hair, damp with sweat, clung to my cheeks, and the yellow light from the ceiling overhead was jarring to my senses. Where was I? "Damn it, I thought you'd passed out! You scared the hell out of me!" A familiar face loomed into view. Cathy?! I sat up abruptly, the scent of perfume in the air a stark contrast to the acrid smell of blood I had half-expected. "What? But... didn't I die?" I muttered, confusion clouding my features. "Are you kidding?" Cathy laughed, "You're just sleepy! Now get up and get out of here before everyone starts wondering where you are!" Without another word, she pulled me up and pushed me out of the lounge. I stepped out of the lounge, the scene of the banquet hall spinning before my eyes. The ornate chandeliers, the flickering candlelight, and the guests in their finery – it all seemed so real, yet unreal. I stood there, bewildered, unsure of what
Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 3 Truth
Bernice As I turned around, the figure of Fed came into view. He stood there, his tall and imposing frame casting a shadow under the lights. His features, usually handsome and chiseled, were etched with severity. His lips were pressed into a hard line, betraying his displeasure. His eyes, those deep blue pools I once adored, were as cold as frost, devoid of any warmth. At the sight of Fed, Melissa quickly masked her malevolence with a visage of distress. Tears streamed down her face, each one a perfect droplet of manipulation. "Fed, I'm so sorry," she whimpered, her voice trembling. "I didn't mean to... to ruin Bernice's dress. I was only trying to help, but I didn't expect her to react like this." Fed's gaze shifted from Melissa's disheveled appearance to me, his scrutinizing look causing a suffocating sensation. He was a man accustomed to control, and any deviation from his expectations would sour his mood. "Bernice, what have you done?" he asked, his voice calm but laced
Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 4 Freedom
Bernice "Hell yeah, this is fantastic!" Cathy whooped, her voice carrying over the club's din. "I've been telling you for ages that you should end that crap-tastic marriage." "Cathy, shh," I lowered my voice, "but not just yet. There are things I need to take care of first. I need to make a detailed plan." I hadn't yet uncovered the truth behind the Stephen family's bankruptcy in my past life. Although I was certain it was connected to Melissa and Fed, I had to keep a close eye on them until I had proof. "Of course! And you're going to take every penny that's rightfully yours!" Cathy was almost shouting now, her excitement palpable. "To celebrate Bernie's freedom, drinks are on me!" Her voice rose above the din of the club, and a cheer went up from the crowd. I looked at her, a warm feeling spreading through my chest. That was Cathy - her signature smile and dramatic tone. How had I ever let our friendship slip away in my past life? Clinking glasses with Cathy, then another
Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 5 Storm
Bernice I raised an eyebrow, surprised to see him here after our heated argument. Usually he'd disappear for days after we fight, leaving me alone until I'd come crawling back to apologize. But here he was, waiting for me. "Out with Cathy, just having a few drinks." I shrugged, trying to sound nonchalant. Fed stood up, his expression darkening. "It's late and you come home stinking of alcohol? Don't you know you're a married woman?" I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, the memory of countless nights waiting for him to come home from 'work' or 'business dinners' flashing before my eyes. "How long did you wait tonight, Fed? An hour? Two?" I threw his own words back at him, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "I've waited for you for years, and you're never home on time. Didn't you remember you were married?" Fed looked taken aback, as if he wasn't used to being challenged. "That's not the point, Bernice. You're a member of the Miller family now. Your actions reflect on u
Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 6 Variable
Bernice "Your father just mentioned today, out of the blue, that he's back in New York. He even had the maid reorganize his room." Elina said. "That scumbag is probably here to fight for control of Miller Corporation, trying to play on Dad's sympathies. That snake." Fed started ranting, his anxiety palpable. I hadn't quite put together the puzzle of their enigmatic conversation. But I suspected it had something to do with Fed's half-elderly brother. It was said that he had left the Miller family since high school and set out to build his own commercial empire. In my past life, I had never laid eyes on Fed's elder brother. His return this time around is sure to bring about considerable uncertainty for the future. I needed to be prepared for whatever might come. As Elina began to complain incessantly to her son, I quietly rose to my feet; there was no need to listen to this conversation any longer. "Wait, Bernice, did you hear what I said?" Elina called out to me abruptly, "Y
Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 7 Quake
Bernice Christian looked different from the version from that night, more...intimidating. With the black suit and dark gray shirt he's wearing today, he exudes an aura of taller, darker danger. But none of that matters. What's important is that what happened at the strip club last week should fade into the memories of everyone involved. Not become some kind of lurking threat. He glanced toward me. I immediately held my breath, and then he gave a faint smile. Not one of those polite, distant smiles. He acted as if we knew each other. Hell, no. He recognized me. And he acted like an asshole. What did he mean? Elina suddenly came up next to me, "Come with me." Her face was somber. And I quickly figured out why. Fed was pouring himself glass after glass of brandy. He looked like his self-esteem had been damaged by his father. "Son, your father wouldn't like you sitting at the dinner table drunk." Elina snatched the glass out of Fed's hand. Fed stood up unhappily, "He wo
Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 8 Secret
Bernice I almost jumped. "You look scared of me," Christian Miller's sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing the lean strength of his forearms. His lips, so beautifully shaped, had curled into a smile that didn't reach his steel-gray eyes, which seemed to see right through me. "No," I'd replied, my voice steady despite the tremor in my heart, "of course not. I'm just preoccupied with disposing of this... medical waste." His smile had widened, a cat to my mouse, as he'd closed the distance between us. "I'm quite certain the maid is more than capable of handling such tasks," he'd murmured, his breath warm against my cheek. A shiver of unease had run down my spine. I'd forced a laugh as I'd taken a step back, desperately trying to put some distance between us. "You're right. How could I have overlooked that? I should return to the dinner table." As I'd tried to get past him, Christian's hand had taken mine, his grip tight and unyielding. He'd pulled me toward him, our

BerniceThe gentle sea breeze ruffled my hair as I stood on the balcony of our Hamptons beach house, watching the sun dip below the horizon. Ten years had passed since that first charity gala, a decade filled with more love, laughter, and fulfillment than I could have ever imagined."Penny for your thoughts?" Christian's voice came from behind me, as familiar and comforting as ever.I turned, smiling as he handed me a glass of wine. "Just reflecting. It's hard to believe it's been ten years."Christian nodded, leaning against the railing beside me. "Ten amazing years. And you know what? I have a feeling the best is still to come."As if on cue, the sound of children's laughter floated up from the beach below. I looked down to see Hope, now fourteen, chasing her younger siblings, seven-year-old Ethan and five-year-old Olivia, through the surf. Melissa and Alex's twins, eight-year-old Sophie and Lucas, were building an elaborate sandcastle nearby."Should we call them in for dinner?" I
Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 196 A Night of Stars and Hope
BerniceThe grand ballroom of the Plaza Hotel buzzed with excitement as New York's elite mingled, their designer gowns and tuxedos glittering under the chandeliers. I smoothed down the front of my own gown - a midnight blue creation that Cathy had insisted I wear - and scanned the room, making sure everything was in place for our charity gala."Relax, Bernie," Christian murmured in my ear, his hand warm on the small of my back. "Everything looks perfect."I turned to him, drinking in the sight of him in his tuxedo. Even after all these years, he still took my breath away. "I know, I know. I just want tonight to be perfect. We've worked so hard on this."Christian smiled, pressing a quick kiss to my temple. "It will be perfect. The Edward Hamilton Foundation's first major fundraiser - how could it be anything but?"I nodded, taking a deep breath to calm my nerves. We had spent months planning this gala, bringing together all our friends and family to support the foundation's mission of
Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 195 Love Blooms Anew
BerniceThe soft spring breeze carried the scent of blooming flowers through Central Park as I watched Melissa and Alex stroll hand in hand ahead of me. Christian walked beside me, pushing Hope's stroller as our daughter babbled happily, pointing at the colorful tulips lining the path."They look happy," I murmured to Christian, nodding towards Melissa and Alex.Christian smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "They do. It's nice to see Melissa like this, isn't it? So carefree and content."I nodded, feeling a warmth spread through my chest. After everything Melissa had been through, seeing her find happiness with Alex felt like a small miracle.As we approached the Bethesda Fountain, I noticed Alex becoming increasingly fidgety. He kept reaching into his pocket, his face a mix of nervousness and excitement. I nudged Christian, raising an eyebrow in silent question. He nodded, a knowing smile playing on his lips."You knew, didn't you?" I whispered accusingly.Christian shrugged,
Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 194 Cathy was filing for divorce!
BerniceThe shrill ring of my phone pierced through the peaceful silence of our bedroom at an ungodly hour. I fumbled for it, nearly knocking over the lamp in my sleep-addled state."Hello?" I mumbled, squinting at the too-bright screen."BERNICE!" Cathy's voice exploded through the speaker, causing me to jerk the phone away from my ear. "I need you! It's an emergency! "I sat up, instantly alert. "Cathy? What's wrong? Is Lily okay?""Lily? Oh, she's fine. Sleeping like an angel, the little traitor," Cathy huffed. "No, it's much worse. I'm filing for divorce!"I blinked, trying to process this information. "Divorce?! Cathy, what are you talking about?""I'm leaving Taylor!" she wailed dramatically. "I can't take it anymore, Bernie. He's driving me insane! Do you know what he did?""What did he do?" I asked cautiously, already suspecting this was going to be something ridiculous."He left his socks on the floor. AGAIN!" Cathy's voice rose to a pitch that I'm sure only dogs could hear.
Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 193 A Night to Remember
BerniceThe familiar New York skyline greeted us as our car wound its way through the city streets. After the rugged beauty of Scotland, the urban landscape felt both jarring and comforting. Hope was fast asleep in her car seat, her new stuffed highland cow clutched tightly to her chest."Home sweet home," Christian murmured, his hand finding mine in the space between us.As we pulled up to our building, I saw the doorman, George, step forward to help with our luggage. His familiar face broke into a warm smile as he saw us."Welcome back, Mr. and Mrs. Miller," he said, opening the car door. "How was your trip?""Wonderful, George, thank you," Christian replied, carefully lifting the still-sleeping Hope from her car seat. "But it's good to be home."I followed them into the building, my mind already racing with all the things we needed to do. Unpack, sort through mail, check in with work... The list seemed endless.As we entered our apartment, the silence enveloped us. After the bustle
Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 192 A Journey to Edinburgh
BerniceThe early morning sun streamed through the windows of our Paris apartment, casting a golden glow over the scattered suitcases and travel documents strewn across the bed. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my blouse and taking a deep breath. Today was the day we'd been planning for weeks - our family trip to Scotland, to Christian's ancestral home."Mama! Mama!" Hope's excited voice preceded her as she toddled into the room, her little arms outstretched. I scooped her up, pressing a kiss to her chubby cheek."Are you ready for our big adventure, sweetheart?" I asked, smoothing down her unruly curls.Hope nodded enthusiastically. "See sheep!" she declared, her face lighting up with joy.I laughed, remembering the picture books of Scotland we'd been reading to her. "That's right, we're going to see lots of sheep. And castles, and lochs, and maybe even a highland cow or two."Christian appeared in the doorway, looking handsome in a casual sweater and jeans. The pendant I'd
Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 191 Remembrance
BerniceThe soft glow of my desk lamp cast shadows across the scattered sketches and gemstones before me. It was well past midnight, but sleep eluded me. I was searching for a way to help Christian through his mourning.I picked up a rough sapphire, turning it over in my palm. Its deep blue reminded me of Edward's eyes, always twinkling with mischief and kindness. An idea began to form in my mind, a way to capture a piece of Edward's spirit in something tangible that Christian could carry with him.With renewed energy, I began to sketch. The design took shape under my pencil - a simple yet elegant pendant. A teardrop-shaped sapphire, surrounded by a delicate filigree of white gold, designed to look like the intertwining branches of a family tree. At the base of the pendant, almost hidden within the metalwork, I planned to engrave Edward's initials and the coordinates of his favorite spot in Paris - a bench in the Jardin des Tuileries where he used to take Christian as a boy.As the fi
Married To My Ex Husband's Billionaire Brother Chapter 190 A Final Farewell
BerniceIt was a moment of pure magic, tinged with the bittersweet knowledge that it might be one of Edward's last.The night stretched on, marked by Edward's labored breathing and occasional coughs. His skin had taken on a grayish pallor, and his cheeks seemed more sunken than ever. Every so often, his eyes would flutter open, unfocused and glassy, before closing again.Dr. Fournier entered the room for what felt like the hundredth time that night. He checked Edward's vitals with practiced efficiency, his brow furrowing as he noted the dropping blood pressure and weakening pulse. "We've increased his morphine dosage," he murmured to Christian. "He shouldn't be in any pain now."Edward's fingers twitched sporadically against the bedsheet, and his breathing became more irregular - sometimes rapid and shallow, then pausing for long, terrifying moments before resuming. The oxygen mask fogged rhythmically with each exhale, a visual reminder of his continuing fight.As dawn approached, Edw

BerniceChristian rushed in, followed closely by Dr. Fournier. For the next few minutes, the room was a flurry of activity as the doctor checked Edward's vitals and responses.Slowly, miraculously, Edward's eyes fluttered open. They were unfocused at first, but then they found Christian's face."Chris... Christian," he rasped, his voice barely audible around the breathing tube.Christian's face broke into a smile, tears streaming down his cheeks. "I'm here, Grandfather. I'm right here."Dr. Fournier quickly removed the breathing tube, replacing it with an oxygen mask. "Mr. Hamilton," he said, his voice gentle but firm. "Try not to speak too much. You've been through quite an ordeal."Edward nodded weakly, his eyes never leaving Christian's face. He lifted a shaky hand, which Christian immediately grasped."I'm sorry," Edward whispered. "I'm so sorry."Christian frowned, confused. "Sorry? Grandfather, you have nothing to be sorry for. You're going to be okay. You're going to get better
