My Brother's Bride Chapter 1
Robert's POV My night had been a blur of passion, fleeting and empty, yet serving its purpose. In a lavish suite high above the city, I had indulged in another meaningless encounter. She was beautiful, confident—a social butterfly who knew exactly what she wanted. Her laughter had echoed in the dimly lit room, her touch bold and inviting. It had been easy, effortless. A temporary escape from the thoughts that refused to leave me.The first hints of dawn crept through the curtains and our fervor subsided into a soft, lingering warmth, my mind betrayed me, drifting back to a memory that refused to be silenced. I shook my head to clear the thought and get lost in the soft warmth. After about fifteen minutes, the girl got up and went away telling me that she would love to spend more time with me again, I just nodded with a polite smile. I lay there, the sheets still warm from the girl's presence, yet my mind had already drifted somewhere else—somewhere far from the lingering scent of h

Avni's POV I was in the kitchen, bustling about, preparing breakfast and lunch for my dad and me. When the wall clock struck seven, a sudden panic hit me. “Oh, God, I’m going to be late!” I hurriedly wrapped up my work and rushed to get ready. At school, as I entered my classroom, the lovely smiles of the children instantly lifted my spirits. One little girl, especially fond of me, approached with a wildflower and a drawing in hand. “Ma’am, I got a flower and a card for you. You are my… best teacher,” she chirped, her grin lighting up her face. I knelt down, cradling her in a warm embrace. “Awww… thanks, sweetheart. But you should say ‘favourite teacher.’” “Fav… favour… Best teacher!” she giggled, and in that moment, the purity of their smiles filled me with a strength that made every challenge seem a little lighter. After teaching a new nursery rhyme and leading the children in practice, I made my way to the staff room during lunch. My colleagues were laughing and sharing foo

Avni's POV Do you have a child?” he asked softly.“No! No!” I snapped, my usually pale cheeks flushing crimson as I turned my head away from him. When I mustered the next words, my voice had dropped to a trembling whisper, “No, I’m not.”How I had longed, in secret moments, to be pregnant—but I wasn’t. A solitary tear escaped, trailing down my cheek.“Forgive me, please. I’m sorry—I meant no distress,” he said, his tone not one of shock but of genuine regret for having upset me.I forced a small smile. “It’s all right. I suppose anyone might have assumed that. It was natural, I guess.”“You like kids, don’t you?” he asked with a warm smile.“Yes, I do,” I replied, feeling a gentle lightness as I recalled the pure sweetness of little ones. “They’re so sweet and pure at heart.”“I figured as much—that’s why you work here, isn’t it?” he said, and I merely nodded.There was an ease in our conversation that surprised me; talking to him felt unexpectedly comforting, as though his eyes held

" Then don't you think it is high time you started doing it again?" he said, and I felt a surge of irritation.Who was he to say that? I disliked his interference. Yet, what astonished me more was the intensity of my anger. I had believed myself incapable of feeling anything anymore.But he wasn’t wrong. My own thoughts have been veering in that direction lately. Only last week, I had contemplated returning to the riding club. My anger dissipated.Even Avanti, my sister, had been urging me to do the same. Perhaps she and this gentleman were right. I needed to make an effort. And perhaps this was the right time."Would you like to see the place where John worked? Where did we first meet?" I asked him.He smiled and nodded. His beautiful blue eyes met mine—so reminiscent of John’s, yet different. His eyes held many shades of blue, their depths as captivating as the ocean, pulling me in."Yes, I would," he replied.I did not know why I agreed. The mere thought of going there made me mise

Chapter 5Avni's POV I cleared my throat, but when they still made no sign of noticing me, I decided it best to leave quietly—I did not wish to intrude upon their privacy. I was utterly mortified at having caught them in the midst of their making‐out. After all, she was my elder sister, for God’s sake, and I so desperately longed to speak with her, as she was the one person who had always guided me.But that could wait; I could not possibly disturb their special moment. They had only been married last month, after all—I would return later, perhaps tomorrow.In my haste to escape, I accidentally bumped into a decorative pot by the door. It toppled over with a resounding crash. I quickly stooped to set it right, red-faced with embarrassment.Within a minute, Avanti appeared to see what had caused the noise. Her face was flushed, her lips slightly swollen. I felt awkward, knowing full well I had already disturbed their intimacy. Forcing a smile, I greeted her, “Hi! Good evening…”“Hi, g

Avni's POVRobert's offer was very good. Even Avanti said that it was high time that our father started to pay for a housekeeper. I served dinner for my dad. He ate it without saying a word or even looking at me. I used to get hurt by his behavior earlier, but then I got used to it. I was quite overworked now as I was doing all the work. Also, Avanti was not here anymore. I told my dad to hire a maid or housekeeper but he said he was not used to anyone else working at home. Avanti was right, the offer given by Robert Taylor looked like a lifeline. I need to get away from my domineering father. I wanted to go to Ranikhet. Suddenly it all seemed possible... Our father had to take care of himself and he could always hire a housekeeper to keep his house. I decided that I would take the offer and would go to Ranikhet to take care of the kids. I took a deep breath and thought of calling him back to tell him about my decision. Just then the phone started ringing, I picked up the pho

Avni's POV Why was I feeling this happy and excited?? It was not how I usually behave... So what was it??I didn't know... But didn't care at the moment. I just kept driving carefully. After driving for about 3 hours, I finally reached Ranikhet.I took a deep breath and parked the car in the market parking lot; I went into a coffee house and ordered a coffee and a fruit muffin. And then following his very precise landmark locations and directions, I finally reached his farmhouse. I pulled up outside his home. It looked huge and beautiful. It was a mansion. It had a very English-type structure. I got out of the car and stood in front of the two-storeyed, white building with lots of windows. There were a lot of pine trees lined up around the boundaries of the property. The place looked beautiful with lush green grass lawns. Just then, the main door of the house opened, and Robert came with a butler following him. " Avni! I am glad you are here. Welcome to my home !! " He said.

Chapter 8He opened the door of a room and stood back, allowing me to enter the room first. It was very nice; somehow, I had this feeling that I would be treated as a member of the family and not like some casual governess. This room proved my point. It was very big and beautiful. My breath was caught at the beauty of it. It had more antique furniture in the shape of wardrobes, chest of drawers, and dressing tables, completed with the four-poster bed draped in cream velvet with coffee-colored hand embroidered tie backs with matched curtains at the windows. " Oh, my God !! This room is lovely. " " I thought you would be comfortable in this room as it has a view of the front garden. Did you like it? " " It is awesome!! Beautiful !! Thanks a lot. " I said with a smile. " I am glad you liked it, I just wish that you get very happy here. I wanted you to be very comfortable. Please don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything else. " He said and I was really touched by the way he

Avni's POV He snapped his fingers in front of my face and I realized that I had gone down memory lane. " Where do you go when you look like this?? " Robert probed softly. " Nothing... I can't have feelings for... " I was saying but he didn't even let me finish. " I know you feel as if you would betray John if you have feelings for anyone else. But even he would not want you to live your life like this. You are only 23 years old. You can't spend your life like this. " He said rather sweetly. " We don't love each other. " I said. " Talk about yourself, not me. " He said curtly." Robert... Please try to understand." I pleaded. " Make me... Convince me, and I will convince you that my feelings are genuine. " Oh, God!! This man was too good and persistent. How would I stop him from making a place in my heart like that??But I had to... Because he will hate me when he comes to know everything. " There is no use when there will be no future in a relationship. " I said. " But I

Avni's POV I just wanted the movie to get over soon. I excused myself but he caught my hand. " Sit with us. " He insisted. " I am having a slight headache so I need to go. " I said. " Aunt Avni, are you still mad at my uncle?? Are you both going to fight?" Lara asked. She looked sad all of a sudden." No baby!! I am not angry with him or anyone. We are not going to fight. We are family. " I caressed her face and said with a sweet smile. " But mom and dad were also family.", Bill said. " No, baby I have just a little headache. So I want to rest. Don't worry. " I said with an assuring smile at the children and left the room but Robert came after me. " Are you ok?? Shall I call a doctor?" He asked me. " No, it's just a headache. " I said and he came very close to me and touched my forehead and cheeks with his big hand. Why does he keep touching me? Can't he keep his hands to himself? I took a step back immediately. He looked at me with a calm expression and then took a deep br

Avni's POV I went to the kid's room. Mrs Ghomes was trying to get their attention but both Bill and Lara were sad. " Mrs Ghomes, what have you prepared for breakfast?? " I asked her. " Their favorite sandwich and French toast," she told me. " Wow!!! Do you mind making some caramel popcorn and some French fries? " " No, not at all. What will you do?? Do you want me to serve your breakfast along with them? " She asked. " No, I am not hungry. I am planning to do a movie marathon. " I replied." What is that?? " she asked me. " Watching movies back to back. My sister and I used to watch movies like that. Harry Potter movies were our favorite, so we used to binge-watch them with lots of popcorn... and French fries... and chips, " I told her about one of my childhood memories." Can we also see?? " Bill asked. " Of course, Let's see the Home Alone series..." " Yeyyy !!! Yes! " They jumped with joy and then hugged me. I smiled at them. They were so sweet and innocent. We went int

Avni's POVThough his back was towards me, I was sure that he was a stranger. I had never seen him before. It was kind of strange. I ran towards them to cover the distance. " Hello !! I am sorry sir, but I am in charge of the kids. So may I know your name?? " " What do you mean that you are in charge of them?? " He said, lowering Lara to the ground. Bill and Lara got busy opening gifts that were in the bag. " I am their governess. " " Oh, Governess?? So that is how Robert is taking care of them. Just by hiring a woman as a governess does he think that his responsibilities are over?? Where were you till now?? How dare you leave them alone like this?? " " Sir, Please mind your language. They are absolutely safe in this house. The kids are playing in the garden and I am keeping an eye on them from a distance. You don't have the right to teach me my job, sir. " I have every right to do that. I am their father. " He said glaring at me. " What??" I was shocked at what he said. " Ar

Avni's POV I did my daily routine and went for a walk but my heart was still stuck on what he said. He missed me... Nobody had ever said that to me. Did he really mean it?? I kind of missed him too. But I could not tell him that. But why?? My soul asked. He sounded disappointed when he asked you if you missed him too... and you didn't say anything. Do you know why?? I can't tell him. He asked me about my relationship with John. What do I do ?? Tell him. Are you crazy?? He would hate me. It's because of me that his brother lost his life. He would never forgive me. But he likes you. He would understand.No, he would throw me out of his home. I don't want to go away from here.Why?? What do you mean why?? Why do you not want to go away from here??

Robert's POV I was surprised to hear that. Who could come to visit her? I asked who had come to meet her and found out that it was her husband. I was shocked beyond the limit and ran inside, where we met visitors. I saw him there with my sister. My blood started to boil and I almost ran there. How dare he come here to meet after everything he did or said to her? He was responsible for her condition. I wanted to kill him. I reached there and stood by her. She looked distressed, I placed my arm around her shoulder. Mike was a bit shocked to see me. He was shocked. " Oh, hello Robert. How are you?? " He asked with fake confidence. " Why are you here?? " I asked him while I was trying not to punch him. " I am under no obligation to answer anything to you. I am still married to her and I don't need your permission to meet my wife. " " Of course, you need my permission to meet my sister. You ruined her life. I would not allow you anywhere near her now. " I yelled at him. " I am n

Robert's POV " Oh thank God!!! I had left every hope that I would ever hear you say that. Who is the girl?? Did you propose to her? " I could hear her excitement over the phone. " Mom, it is not that easy, I told you, it is complicated... " " What are the complications? " " I like her and want her in my life but she doesn't want that," I told her. " Why?? You are tall, fair, handsome, rich, successful, highly educated, and above all, you are such a good human being. Which girl in her right frame of mind would not want you? " " She is a young widow, and I think she is still in love with him. " " Widow?? She is in love with her late husband?? Whom are you talking about? " She asked. What is wrong with her?? " Avni !! "" Avni?? Oh, God!! I mean she is a good girl... But she loves John. Poor girl... Got married and widowed on the same day. Are you sure about your feelings for her??

Robert's POV All of a sudden Tina leaned more into me and placed her lips on my neck just below my ear. What the hell?? I got up with lightning speed and moved away from her. " What are you doing?? " I asked glaring at her. " I was trying to make you feel more comfortable. I can ease all kinds of pain. Give me a chance. " She said looking at me with a seductive smile. I was disgusted with the way she was looking at me with that cheap smile and lustful eyes." What nonsense?? How dare you?? " I shouted at her. " Oh, I am sorry... I could not control my emotions. " She said changing her way of talking all of a sudden. " What do you mean?? " " Actually, I have always had a huge crush on you since we met for my interview. " She said shyly. How can someone change so much in less than a minute? " What?? Are you out of your mind? " " I am telling you the truth. I had a crush at first sight. You were exactly like the man of my dreams... And over the period, I fell for you. I r

Avni's POV I was going to make a tea for myself so I asked if he would like to have and he nodded. He was looking in the refrigerator for something to eat. " What are you looking for?? " " Mrs Ghomes made dinner but we didn't eat it. I am very hungry. So looking for something to eat, it must be here. " " Wait I would take it out and heat it again. " I said and he nodded. I saw stew and dumplings and apple pie. We all were too full yesterday so we told her to make something simple. I served them hot with hot ginger. We both were hungry, so we had to do it. " Avni, we have to be very careful around kids. They are very sensitive and vulnerable right now. We must always keep in mind. " " Yeah, she must have felt bad to have a bad dream. " I said. " They have seen their parents fighting like anything, so maybe she associated our discussion with that. " He said and I nodded. " The discussion is not over yet. I have some important work, hence I need to go... Will you be able to
