My Husband's Brother Fix This
Evie I knock and no response comes. The lights are on so Tyson can’t have left. I press the handle and invite myself in. The office is empty. I close the door and come in. There’s a book left open on the desk. I approach the desk and pause before it. The book’s open on the first page and I see something’s written on it. It looks like a dedication. I outstretch my hand, I want to see what it says when I hear a noise. I turn around startled and discover Tyson is leaning against the wall, arms folded. He is watching me. Has he been there the whole time? I turn to face him fully and press myself against the desk. “I… I wasn't going to look at it. I swear. “ I stutter and he rests his head against the wall. “I don’t like lies. “Tyson keeps looking at me. “I… I am sorry. “ I mutter. I have no idea what is going on, but I will take it, whatever it is, as long as I am here. My stupid heart, however, doesn’t connect to my brain. But my brain begins to catch up on what is going on.

My Husband's Brother Meet Me
Evie We get in the car. Jules is driving. Lillian opens the door to sit next to me in the backseat but Jules looks up in the rearview mirror. “Hey, Evie?”He says.“What?“Why don’t you sit next to me?”I don’t look at my roommate. I just sit more comfortably in my seat and lean back.“Nah, thanks. “ I wave a hand, “But Lilian prefers sitting in the front. “She glares at me and I wink at her. “Okay, “ Jules says and Lillian goes to the front. George sits next to me in the back and we listen to music. We talk about random stuff. I don’t ask George whether Tyson is coming. I take my phone out and stare at it. I decide I won’t text him and put my phone back in my purse, switching off all sounds. We get in town shortly. The guys say they know a place so we head to a bar. It’s under the ground. “What is this place?” I ask and Lilian shrugs. “No idea. But I love the music. “It’s similar to the place we went to with Max. Once we are settled at the bar, I order a coke, while the oth
My Husband's Brother More
Evie “Hello, Evie, “ Tyson says in his deep, rich voice. He steps to the side and I come in. I am nervous even though I’m doing my best not to let it show. The room is a nice apartment suite in warm colours. The windows are facing the city, but the curtains are closed.Tyson is dressed entirely in black. Black T-shirt and black jeans. His air is messy. He is also barefoot. Tyson looks hot like this. He looks hot in everything. Right now it’s as if I stepped in the middle of something he was doing, in his home. The room smells like him. “Do you want anything to drink?’’Tyson asks as he pours himself a whisky. “No, thank you. “I glance around stiffly and sit on the sofa. Tyson sits in one of the armchairs opposite me. He leans back and watches me. My mind is a mess and I am overwhelmed. Too much is going on inside me and I forget how to speak. “I am sorry, “ I mutter, “For the message, and…”“You’ve been really inappropriate recently. “he says, taking a sip from his whisky and
My Husband's Brother That's What You Wanted
Violet One month later “Ready?” Clyde smiles and I glance around the office one last time to make sure everything’s in order and we aren’t forgetting something. “I think so, “ I say in the end. “Everything went better than expected, don't you think? ““As always when you’re involved. ““You are too nice, “ I tell Clyde, “Or you know that I'm nervous and you’re trying to give me confidence. ““You should have all the confidence in the world, “ Clyde smiles. “You did amazing. ““It was thanks to the whole team. Thank you for everything you did. The beginning is always weird but things are finally starting to run as expected. ““I am glad I could help. “We head out of the office and head to the car, waiting for us downstairs. “Do you know what the place we are going to is?” I ask Clyde as we get in. He shakes his head. “No. Philip insisted on meeting there. He said we should celebrate the successful closing of the project. “Then Clyde grins. “Your first client. ““Yes. That save
My Husband's Brother Your Son
Dominic I slam the door shut and head to the southern wing of the manor. I have been staying in the main house for the past few days because my father and I worked late and it’s easier when we are not separated by miles.Max is here, too, which is a huge novelty. Philip invited him. Maybe after the whole shebang with Grandpa’s death, he is trying to finally be the father he was supposed to be to Max. I slam another door and go to the dining room. I take a glass and fill it almost to the rim with vodka. I hear footsteps but don’t look up. “I don't need to be lectured, " I say and Max snots. “I am the last person who can give you lectures on bad habits. “I laugh. “True, “ I offer him a glass and he agrees. “What happened?” He asks. “Nothing, “ I shrug, “I saw Violet. ““Shit. And?” “And nothing. She was talking to this dick head from her university. ““Clyde. ““I don’t give a fuck about his name. ““Sure, “Max splays on the sofa and fixes his eyes on the ceiling. “And you
My Husband's Brother The Truth
Dominic “How dare you, “ my father gets up and turns to Conor. “How dare you speak like this about your brother? Dominic is MY son! He is mine!” “I can easily prove he isn't. “ “He is!” My father and Conor yell at each other. “Are you ready to stoop so low, “ Philip grits out the words, “As to offend and badmouth Dominic. “ “I am only speaking the truth. “ “Liar!” My father keeps talking to him in a raised voice. “You are ready to do anything to be the heir. You can’t be, face it. I’ve made up my mind. “ “You can’t decide anything. “ Conor snickers. Dad threatens to attack Conor and I stop him before he does it. “Enough!” I growl and they fall silent, stunned- as if I am the one causing trouble. “Enough, “ I say more composed. Our lawyer looks terrified. “Conor, what are you talking about? “ “What you heard, “ he smirks, “I've known the truth for years but didn’t want to destroy my father's golden boy and his name. But now I see no other resolution. “ “Prove it, “ P
My Husband's Brother Go Out With Me
Dominic Violet’s chest rises rapidly and I go to her. “Are you all right?” She looks up at me, something passes her face and she glares. Then Violet snaps. “What are you doing here?” “What am I doing here? Seriously?” “Yes!” “I just saved you, Violet. “ “From what?” I shake my head. “You should be thanking me. “ “I was on a date!” she argues. “And you ruined it! What is wrong with you? You can’t attack people like that!” “He deserved it. “ “He was just saying goodbye!” “Well, it didn’t seem that way to me. “ “It was, “ she hisses. “You can’t fix things by smashing people's faces like this. “ “It’s worked pretty well for me so far. “ “Ughhh.” Violet groans. “ Just… he didn’t do anything. He was just being… “What? Forcing himself on you and pulling you towards him? I should have smashed his entire face and ….“ “You have no right to meddle in my personal life! “ Violet yells. I pause. “Fine, “ I say, still riddled with anger, “Next time I'll leave him to do w

My Husband's Brother Epilogue : Forever Yours
Dominic “You will be a grandfather, “ I tell the man, sitting opposite me in the small cafeteria. We arranged to meet during my lunch break today. Violet called me earlier but I told her I would be having lunch with a business partner. In a way that’s true. Frederick’s eyes filled with tears at the news I shared. “Thank you. “ he says,” For being here and telling me.” “I thought you deserved to know. “He nods and looks down at his hands, folded in front of him. “I hope you will find the strength in you to forgive me. ““I have nothing to forgive you for. “ I tell him. “No, “he shakes his head. “You do. I am not the father I was supposed to be. ““I have a father, “I argue. “And I will never argue that. But I would like you to listen to me. “I lean back in the chair and he takes this as a sign to continue. “When I met your mother, I fell in love with her at first sight. I swear. There is love at first sight. ”“I believe you, “ And I do. I fell in love with Violet the mo
My Husband's Brother Our Happy End
Five years later Violet “Mom! I don’t want the red one!” I take a very deep breath. “Charlotte, please, “ I tell her for the tenth time, “Choose whatever you want. Just choose now. Please. “ The maid is looking at me, smiling. “I can help, miss. And you can prepare. I will let you know once we are ready.“ “It’s fine. Thank you, Marta. I’ve got this. “ I always refused to have a nanny to help me, even when Charlotte was a baby, but recently Marta’s been trying to help, seeing how busy we all are. Charlotte finally chooses the dress she will be wearing and we start preparing. Half an hour later Marta announces the driver is downstairs. “Coming!” I call out as I put on my earrings. “Mommy, you look pretty. “ Charlotte beams at me. “Thank you, sweetheart, “I kiss the top of her head, “Let’s go. Are you eager to see Aunt Evie and Uncle Max? ““Yes!” She claps and we head downstairs. “Where is Daddy?” She asks as I take her hand and we descend the stairs. “He is…”
My Husband's Brother A Happy Family
Violet “They look suspicious, “ I watch Evie and Max as they try not to look at each other or at least not to be too obvious about it. “She went out to talk over the phone and he went right after her. And for some reason, they look really close after they come back home. Do you think it’s because of the accident and because they spent some time together?...” I look at Dominic. He looks… amused.“What are you hiding from me again? “I ask him, squinting my eyes suspiciously and he shrugs casually. If he does that, it means I am right. He is hiding something. “Dominic, “ I tell him and he eventually says. “I think they are together. And it's been going on for a while.” “What?” I exclaim, but…. Then I turn to look at them again. Among the sea of well-dressed, rich people with great manners they look so… different. As if they are in their own private world. “Yes, “ I mutter, “They are. Why didn’t they tell us?” Dominic gives me a pointed look. “Okay, you are right. We did
My Husband's Brother Calls From Ghosts
Evie I exit the dining hall and head down the corridor. This place is huge and I’ve always thought so, but right now it feels enormous.I pass by a library and a large door. I assume it’s a study and after I make a turn I am in front of the guest bathroom.Where is he? I keep walking and reach a darker corner of the corridor when I take another turn and bump into Max.“Woah,” I take a step back, startled. “You scared me.”As if I wasn’t the one who followed him out.“I did?” He lifts an eyebrow and folds his arms. Then Max leans against the wall next to him, observing me.“Are you following me?” “Why are you acting like this?” I hiss and glance around to see if anyone is coming.“This is what you wanted, right?”“Hmph,” I scoff and he unfolds his arms.Max leans towards me, his breath is on my neck.“I would kiss you,” he whispers and the words send a shiver down my back, “But I can’t remember.”My eyes flutter closed as he traces slow kisses down my neck. I bite my lip and lift my
My Husband's Brother Liars
Evie A few weeks later we are ready to go home. “I will arrive in the evening. “ I explain, “And you on the next day. ““I honestly don’t see why we arrive separately, “ Max admits for the tenth time today. “Because I don’t want to show up and tell them we are…”“What?”“That we are…” “See, “ he says, “You can’t even admit we are together. ““It’s not that, '' I protest, “Let’s just tell them when we are all together, or having a nice time, okay?”“I am not embarrassed to tell them. Are you ashamed of me?““What, no!” I exclaim, “I just didn't want to explain to Violet over the phone. And imagine Olivia’s reaction when…”“Fuck Olivia. “Max shrugs. “I can’t believe I'm going to say this, “ I declare, “But that's too rude. “He scoffs but eventually agrees. Max takes me to the airport and I almost miss my flight because I am reluctant to separate from him. “You chose this, “he reminds me, “We could be travelling together now? ““Don’t hold this against me. “ I point a finger a
My Husband's Brother Secret Weddings
Violet I take a sip of coffee when Dominic moves behind me, wrapping his arms around me. “Good morning, “ he kisses the top of my head and proceeds to the coffee machine. “I made some for you, too. “ I smile at him and he pours himself a cup. “What are you doing today?” He asks, and I take the cup to my lips when I suddenly get sick to the stomach. I swallow the bile and Domnic’s eyes flutter to me. “Val?”“Yes, yes. I am here, “ I put the cup back on the counter, “I have a meeting with the investors from Japan. “My stomach turns and I smile awkwardly at Dominic. “Excuse me. “I rush to the bathroom before he says anything and empty my stomach. I feel better right after. When I get back to the room Dominic is waiting for me to say something. “What is it?” he asks, approaching me “I just have been feeling sick these days, maybe it’s a stomach virus or something. ““Or it’s not. “Dominic sips his coffee, casually. “What are you talking about?” I frown and he looks at me po
My Husband's Brother The Idea of Him
Evie Max is taking my dress off, not breaking the kiss.“Are you okay?”I mutter against his lips as I see how restless and impatient he is. He unbuttons the last piece from my back, holding the upper part together.“Yes. You?”Max pauses only to say this and continues kissing me. We didn’t say anything to each other, not even hi when he got back. I didn't mind in the slightest but had to ask. “Of course.” I breathe out the words. He smiles and leans in, his lips on mine. Max trails kisses down my neck, then to my chest. He takes my bra off, and I am struggling with opening his tie. Max laughs against my lips against my frustration and helps me untie the knot. He slips the tie off and I can’t stop looking at him, at the way his pupils have dilated, making his eyes impossibly dark in the lights in the kitchen. “What?” He asks, cupping my face.“Nothing.” I smile,” Kiss me.”And he does, brushing his lips against mine, pushing me slightly and guiding me towards his bedroom. I have
My Husband's Brother Holiday Season
Evie I get up before my alarm goes off and get dressed quickly. My classes start later today but I am still prepared to leave. I go to the kitchen for a quick cup of coffee. Max is already there, smoking. I flinch, surprised when I see him. I was sure he was still sleeping. He is leaning back in his chair, dressed in an expensive suit and a watch, and his stubble has started to grow. The blue smoke curls around him in the cold morning light, almost the same blue as the one of his eyes. Max looks like those guys in the perfume commercials. As soon as I show up he sits up. “I will put this off, “ he says, scattering the smoke with his hand and exhaling. “No, no. It’s okay. Your place, after all. ““No, sorry. ““I don’t actually mind it. “I smile and proceed to the coffee maker. “Another coffee?“ I offer. “Yeah, thank you. “I pour some for him and myself. “I hope I won’t spill it this time, “ I joke and he smiles. “If you do, I'll do a better job at cleaning it. “As soon as
My Husband's Brother What Now?
Evie I get back to Max’s place and wait for him to come back. Today sucked on all possible levels. I stared into the wall for a good hour, trying to accept that I was never seeing Tyson again, no one told me he was gone, someone was going to prison because of me, and I had money - MY money - that might change things for me. Because I know the family has money, but it’s not my money. And now- I will eventually be able to have something thanks to me, however small it is. At some point, I begin pacing around and I am unable to focus on anything. On top of it- Max comes back after eleven. We exchange a greeting and he heads directly to his room. I stop him.“I got a call from the lawyer. “ I say without any ado. “And?” He asks, pausing. Max looks like he is not here. Then I realize something’s off. “Are you drunk?” I ask. “What difference does it make?”“No, just… I thought you said you had to work. ““What’s with the interrogation? ““And what’s with the way you’ve been acting recen
