Chapter Five

Rialyn's POV.

*TWO DAYS AFTER*

'Yes! I agree to do that.' I hit my hand on my head remembering what had happened between Luca and me two days ago. How the hell did I agree to that kind of deal? I don't know if I should be regretting right now.

I agreed to do that so I could get back at everyone who made me this way. That was my only option.

I brought out my phone, looking at the time. 'Shit!' I cussed out so loud as I removed the washing gloves immediately. How the hell did I forget that I will be meeting up with him this evening?

It was happening this night and I must say that I am a little bit nervous.

I rushed out of the room as I then bumped into Priscilla! I knew what she was up to and what she wanted to say. I wasn't ready for her petty fight.

"It looks as if you are in a hurry. Where are you going to?" She questioned, as she folded her arms. Her eyes piercing into mine. I couldn't possibly tell her that I was going to meet him.

There was no way I would let her know about something like that. 

"I'm sorry, but I can't say." I tried walking past her, but she used her hand to push my shoulders, making me almost trip. 

"Living with you guys doesn't mean you have every right to know about my whereabouts. I am an adult." I reprimanded her immediately after I found my balance.

"Not under this roof. Who knows what you might be planning behind our backs? Why did you think I told my mom to accept you to stay in the house?" She queried as she walked towards me.

"It was to monitor your movement, dummy," she further stated, there was barely any space in between. I wasn't going to lie, but her tall height was kind of intimidating.

"Why do you have to monitor my movement? Did you do something that I must not find out about?" I replied to her, a little smirk forming at the corner of my lips. I was realizing I was going to bring her together with my stepmother down.

I could see her lips trying to shake; she wanted to utter some words. Was she scared already?

They literally took what belonged to me and claimed it belonged to them. Why wouldn't she want to keep a close eye on me? They had always seen me as a threat; and that was one of ten reasons why they hated me so much. 

"I am going to the hotel to meet a man. More like a one-night stand." I told her. She then busted out into laughter.

"It isn't up to two weeks since you got divorced and you are already bitching around." She curled up her lips in disgust.

"At least, I don't get to sleep with people's husband." I stated proudly. The little smirk on her face turned into anger immediately. 

"If you don't mind, I have to go now." I excused myself from her presence, as I then walked back out of her. 

*****

It didn't take a long time for me to get to the address where Luca told us to meet. It was one of his hostels that was in the city. I wondered what people were going to say if they got to see Luca and I together.

I knew that they were not blood brothers, but it was still kind of weird for me. My heels clicked on the tiles while I followed the attendant who was taking me to the VIP room as directed by Luca.

"This is the room, ma'am. The stewardess stopped right at the front of a long and empty room. That was the only room in the hallway, and I must say that it looked so nice.

She walked away, leaving me at the door entrance. I was still finding it hard to believe that I was doing this.

How many aura points did I lose for this? 

I entered the room, and I must say that it was very nice. It was neatly arranged, and I could easily tell that he did stay here frequently. The king-sized bed was in the middle of the room. There was a heap of the books and files on a desk in the room.

It was just like a small workspace. I looked at the time and got to realize that it was starting to get really late already. It has been 10 minutes, and he was yet to arrive.

'Should I call him right now? Or I should just let him be?' 

I sat at the edge of the bed as my palms were beginning to get so sweaty. I prepared so hard for this, and I was still getting delayed.

My hand slid into my purse as I brought out my phone.

"Where are you right now? I'm waiting in your room." I texted him, hoping I would get a reply. 

Hours passed, and there was still no reply from him. I didn't know if I should be happy about the fact that he didn't get to make it this night or I should be about the fact that he might get to plan another day for these.

My eyelids were starting to get so heavy, as I could feel them closing slowly.

********

*THE NEXT MORNING*

I slowly opened my eyes, the morning light from window which was opposite the bed was shining to bright making me squint my eyes. I was met with a very unfamiliar ceiling, my mind felt foggy as I tried to remember how I got here. 

"Oh shit!" I cussed under my breath realizing what happened last night. How the hell did I get to sleep off?

The sound of the shower brought me back to reality as my mouth covered my mouth immediately. He later came into the room yesterday.

'I must leave the place before he comes out.' I stood up from the bed, my hand grabbing the purse. I tiptoed up to the door spot, my hand grabbing the door knob as I tried opening it.

"Where are you going to?" A sharp, deep voice interrupted my thoughts, making me flinch in fear. I was just about to open the damn door.

I turned my back slowly, and now I wish I hadn't slept last night. The water trickled down his well-arranged abs; my eyes found their way to his towel, which was tied loosely around his waist. 

I could see a little bit of his hair. 'Was he hairy down there?' There were a lot of questions going on in my mind right now.

"You can let me know when you are done staring." His voice interrupted my thoughts, making me look back at his face immediately.

What the hell was I thinking?

"You came late last night." I changed the entire topic.

"I attended a meeting." He replied bluntly, as he then backed me. I watched as he walked into the walk-in closet while I followed him slowly.

"You should have let me know about it. I texted you last night while I was waiting for you. You don't just act that way; we agreed to it already." I complained to him.

I didn't know where this surge was coming from, but I hope it should stop right now!  I didn't have any right to be angry 

"You should have then stayed awake." He replied back. What the hell! I watched as he took a dried towel and then used it on his hair.

"Are you joking with your words right now? Stayed awake? It wasn't going to text you anything to reply me. Do you think I am som jimd of witch who can predict the time you were going to arrive?" I scoffed at his statement; my hands found their way to my hips.

"I never knew you wanted this badly." His meadow-green eyes bored into mine as he told me those words. I could feel my cheeks literally burning due to his stares. He closed the drawer as he then dropped down the towel he was using for his head 

I could see his eye moving from my face down to my body. 

"If you really want this. How about we start now?" He walked towards me, his bare chest touching my body. I was starting to feel hot down there. He lifted me up from the floor as he carried me in a bridal style.

'You should resist.' My heart kept on saying, but my body and my brain were saying otherwise. He dropped me slowly at the edge of the bed. He then unzipped my gown slowly.

I could see the lust filled in his eyes. One might think I was his meat, while waiting to get devoured by its owner.

"Let's get this done and fast!" I muttered.

  • My Ex-Husband's Brother    Chapter 168

    Avia’s POV I watched him as he came out of the bathroom, water dripping down the lines of his body. Droplets slid across his chest and traced the curve of his shoulders before disappearing into the towel wrapped low around his waist. His hair clung to his forehead, damp and dark, as he dragged the towel across it carelessly. I wanted to ask him a thousand things. Why he let Brianne back into this house. Why he looked like the weight of the world was pressing on his shoulders. Why his eyes seemed clouded with something heavier than fatigue. But I couldn’t bring myself to speak. I knew better than to push him when he was like this. Would telling him about the child inside me change anything? The thought clawed at me. My fingers tightened around my phone as I sat on the bed, pretending to scroll. Brianne had told him the child wasn’t his, and yet he hadn’t reacted. He hadn’t flinched. If anything, his silence had told me everything I needed to know—that he wanted me by his side rega

  • My Ex-Husband's Brother    Chapter 167

    Avia’s POV My body lay still beside his, but my mind wouldn’t shut off. Every sound—the ticking of the clock, the faint hum of the city outside, even the slow rhythm of his breathing—seemed too loud. My chest ached with a heaviness I couldn’t explain, a weight that pressed deeper with each passing second. By the time dawn broke, I had barely closed my eyes. Tristan stirred before me. His hand brushed lazily across my waist before he slipped out of bed. The sheets lifted, and the sudden absence of his warmth made me curl tighter into myself. I watched him silently through half-open eyes, the way he pulled on his shirt with quick, distracted movements. His jaw was set, brows pulled together in thought. He looked like a man carrying too much, and for a moment, I wanted to reach out and stop him. Ask him what was wrong. Demand answers to all the things he never says. But I didn’t. I stayed still until he left the room. The moment the door clicked shut, I exhaled shakily, sitting up

  • My Ex-Husband's Brother    Chapter 166.

    Tristan’s POVMorning sunlight leaked in through the half-drawn blinds, cutting sharp lines across the floor of my room. My head was heavy, still buzzing from everything that had happened yesterday. I rolled over, staring at the ceiling, but it wasn’t blank anymore—it was crowded with voices, accusations, and the kind of silence you never really forget.Brianne showing up at the house still didn’t make sense. Her voice, her face, that stupid photo in her hand—it was all glued to my mind like it had been branded there. I kept telling myself it couldn’t be true, that I couldn’t possibly be the father of her child. I had tried explaining that to Avia last night, fumbling over words like a guilty man even though she had stopped me halfway.“I know you wouldn’t do that,” she had whispered, her face soft in the dim light. “You don’t have to prove it to me.”Her faith in me should have been enough to calm my nerves, but it hadn’t. Because the truth was, I didn’t even trust myself anymore. Ev

  • My Ex-Husband's Brother    Validation?

    Chapter — Avia’s POVThe air in the house was cold when I woke up, far colder than it had any right to be. My fingers brushed against the side of the bed where Tristan had slept last night, but all I felt was emptiness. His scent still lingered on the pillow, faint, stubborn, and painfully comforting.He had left without a word again.I sat up slowly, my heart twisting in a way I hated. How many times was I going to allow this cycle to repeat? He drew me close, whispered promises in my ear, and then vanished the moment morning came like everything he said was fragile enough to break with the sunrise.The silence was broken by soft footsteps outside the room. My entire body tensed. It wasn’t Tristan. I knew the weight of his footsteps like I knew the beat of my own heart.Brianne.She pushed the door open just a little, her face appearing like a shadow at the crack. Her smile was smug in a way that made my chest tighten.“Oh. You’re awake,” she said, her voice dripping with fake sweetn

    Avia’s POVThe night felt endless. Even after Tristan came back into the room, his warmth against me wasn’t enough to lull me into sleep.My body lay still beside his, but my mind wouldn’t shut off.

  • My Ex-Husband's Brother    Chapter 164

    Chapter 164Avia’s POVI woke up to silence.The kind of silence that creeps into your chest and makes your heart beat faster because you know something isn’t right. Tristan’s side of the bed was cold, empty, as though he had been gone for hours. My hands brushed against the sheets, hoping I was wrong, hoping he had just rolled to the far end. But no.The alarm clock blinked red at me. 4:30 a.m.I sat up slowly, the duvet falling off my body, and my eyes roamed the dimly lit room. Something else was missing too—Brianne. The little snake who had wormed her way into our lives, always finding the perfect time to poison my peace.She wasn’t here.My stomach tightened. If Tristan wasn’t here, and Brianne wasn’t here, then where the hell were they?I tried to tell myself not to think the worst. That maybe Tristan had gone out for a walk, maybe Brianne had left to get water, maybe I was just being paranoid. But paranoia was better than naivety. I wasn’t naïve anymore. Life had beaten that ou
