ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Zero Compensation
The news sounded like a gunshot in Mackenzie’s ears. Her eyebrows slanted. “What?”Tears poured down Charlotte’s face, “I’m so scared and helpless right now, Mackenzie! I just got the call and there’s absolutely nothing I can do to help the situation. She’s going to die unless she gets medical attention in the next hour! I can’t even call Uncle Maverick cos his number isn’t going through!”That was right. Uncle Maverick had gone out of the city for a short trip. He would have been able to resolve the matter if he were here.Mackenzie felt her heart start to pound in genuine worry and panic. Mrs. Weston, Charlotte’s mom was just like her own mother. The thought of her dying was terrifying.“We have to do something about this immediately!” Mackenzie’s voice shook with fear as she straightened back up.Her mind was racing with thoughts on what she could do, when she immediately thought of Chase. Yes. At this point, he was the only one that could save Mrs. Weston from dying.Her hands fum

When Chase makes her completely his, no man would have even a shred of audacity to look in her general direction the wrong way. He would fucking gauge the eyes out of anyone that dared.His thoughts suddenly strayed back to Mackenzie’s friends, and he remembered “Uncle” Maverick. Something just didn’t sit right about that man with him.“Is that guy, Maverick, your Uncle?” He asked.Mackenzie looked up at him. “Uh, no.” She let out a tiny smile. “We just call him that out of habit.”Chase didn’t like the fact that she smiled just at the mere mention of him. Jealousy reared its head in his mind. He asked again, “Why would you three call him that out of habit, though?”“Well, he and Charlotte are actually cousins. But he’s older that us by a big gap, so he was always the protective figure when we girls were little kids. So we just started calling him that. Till today, he’s still very protective of us.”Chase blinked, unimpressed.Protective? He wouldn’t mind if that guy was protective ov

In the next three days, Charlotte spent most of her time in the hospital with her mother who has a successful surgery and has been stabilized. She was still hospitalized for further supervision.Meanwhile, Chase was in his office, with a pile of paperwork on the large, executive desk in front of him. Yet all he could think of was the fact that Mackenzie had accepted his offer, finally. When she said it earlier, when asking for his help to save her friend’s mother, he had thought it was just her panic and desperation talking.But, after Mrs. Weston was out of surgery and safe, Mackenzie still told him that she would work for him. Of course, he was only able to help Charlotte’s situation because of Mackenzie, but he didn’t do it to force or blackmail her into working for him.But, she had finally given a positive answer anyway, and he gladly took the opportunity. It was what he had been dying to hear all this time, but when she finally did, she began to avoid him.For the past two days

West was thoroughly dumbfounded, staring through the glass door at Mackenzie standing right in front of it. He could barely even believe his own eyes. He had just been talking about her, and she is suddenly standing there!He glanced at Chase, who was staring at Mackenzie as well, and looked back at her, mouth dropping. The wheels in his head were spinning and clicking as he tried to fit the puzzle pieces all together.Mackenzie swallowed, pressing her hands against her skirt in a bid to remain calm and collected. Of course, she was shocked to see West in here so soon. In the car ride on the way here, she had known she would meet a lot of people who knew her from her marriage with Jeffrey.Including West. So she had mentally prepared to face him, but she never expected it to be so soon. In Chase’s office of all places. Her eyes slid to Chase, and he motioned for her to come in.The security guard pushed the glass open, ushering her inside. When she stepped through, he closed the door,

After Mackenzie had her tea and followed Nora for a tour around the building, Selene came crashing into Chase’s office. She was livid after seeing the article with the leaked picture of Chase and Mackenzie. Like the rest of the world, Selene was in shock.“Chase!”Chase looked away from the laptop, with a look in his eyes that showed all he considered her as, was a nuisance.“What is this picture I’m seeing everywhere, Chase?! What were you doing with her?? Mackenzie?” She spat that name like it was synonymous with trash.“How dare you let people see you with that lowlife? How can you humiliate me like this, publicly showing yourself with a low class bitch?! How can you drag my reputation in the mud?!”Her voice was echoing all through the office, green eyes livid with fury and Chase stared at her carefully. It did not seem like even Selene knew what was going on. That meant he might have to rule her out from his suspect list.He reached forward to press a button on his desk, which a

Jeffrey stared at his phone, at the picture of Chase and Mackenzie. Mackenzie. She was the only person in the picture that caught his interest. His onyx eyes were filled with shock, roaming her face on the screen. She looked different. With her thick, long curls left untouched, unlike how he remembered her always straightening till the point where he felt sickened just by looking at her.He could see she was glowing, even when she was not directly facing the camera. But he still could not believe it was her. He say in absolutely stunned silence.His mother had paid a reporter to stalk Chase in other to dig around for some dirt on him. Instead of the reporter capturing a juicy secret they could wield as a weapon against him, to show the board of directors and win them over, but he had gotten something even more shocking.Something Jeffrey never expected.He could not believe Chase was with Mackenzie. What was she even doing in Greensville? She had run off to North Dakota, and did not e

Mackenzie walked inside her new office, and was stunned at how beautiful it looked. It was large, by her standards, but compared to most of the offices she had seen here in the Axford Furniture Company, she realized it was more on the medium side.There is a couch next to the wall, which looked very comfortable to sit on, and even sleep in.Not that she planned to sleep during work, or spend all-nighters in the office. There’s a door that led off into the restroom.She moved to her desk to look over the stack of sketch pads where she can do her designs, since she preferred to do them manually than digitally.Her eyes spot some pink flowers that looked incredibly familiar. Pink Camilla flowers. The beautiful petals were blooming in their vase, under the sunlight streaming in from the window. She narrowed her eyes, as it suddenly clicked.The flowers, always being wherever she went.Her home in North Dakota. Her apartment in Greensville. Now, her office. She could not understand how she

“Fine. But did something happen?” Mackenzie asked.Chase did not give a direct answer. Instead, he deflected the question and asked back, “Is anyone threatening you? If something like that ever happens, you will tell me immediately, right?”Mackenzie was caught off guard by that random question. Only, it did not seem to be so random to Chase, judging by the look she could see in his eyes. There was obviously a reason he was saying that to her. A reason she did not know about, yet.“You’re acting strange, Chase. You know that whatever happens, I am not going back on my word.” She moved back to her desk, careful not to get too close to him. That was dangerous. And picked up her bag. “I should get going to the factory now. They’ll be waiting for me.”*************A few hours later, when Mackenzie was rounding up a fairly successful first day of work, she realized that she had not even called her kid’s nanny to check up on them. She moved to a quiet part of the factory and fished out her

ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Epilogue
EPILOGUECameron felt nostalgic, sitting down in the same seat he had been sitting—six months ago—when he met the woman of his dreams. She had walked on the stage with a grace only a swan could possess and she had captivated his attention and stolen his heart not long after. But compared to Cameron's first visit to the bar, he noticed how empty the bar was. It was heavily decorated—surprisingly—but also unoccupied. Cameron's eyes swept over the room, taking in every decoration that seemed to have been done with precision. Balloons, ribbons, candles, everything felt strangely comforting.He was still sweeping over the area with his eyes when the lights suddenly went out, leaving him in the dark. "Hey, is anyone here?!" He called out into the darkness, hoping someone would hear and come to his aid. It was odd that he heard no noise at all but what felt even more odd to him was the fact that he had agreed to go over to the bar in the first place.Calista had caller earlier and said some
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER A better approach
"Don't you think it would be better to just ask her stuff about them? We know them individually but Liza knows them personally." Emily said to her knucklehead sister, knowing she had just found a solution to their six hour long problem but another one was secretly embedded in Calista seeing her suggestion as a good approach to things or if she wouldn't. Luckily for both of them, Calista bought the idea. "Why didn't I think of that sooner?" She asked no one in particular as she flashed a huge smile at her little sister, wondering how their parents had given birth to such a brilliant child. It wasn't like Calista and her twin brother, Cameron, were a disaster, it was just that, Emily was, well, better.But smart or not, Calista was in the middle of planning for the best proposal ever and she wanted everything to be perfect. Cameron had—unsurprisingly—entrusted her with the task of making sure everything went well with his proposal to Liza and Emily had just given Calista a stepping sto
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Reconciliation
Turns out reconciliation wasn't as hard as Chad had assumed it to be. It was just surprising how easily his family had accepted him back, as if he had not walked out on them over ten years ago. How could they be so loving after everything he had put them through? Chad couldn't wrap his head around the whole situation at all. But that wasn't all he was battling in as he stood at the balcony of his new apartment, looking down at the street just opposite his place. From where he was, Chad could see different people moving around in pairs and some, even in groups.Anyone could clearly see how different they all were, occupied in their little worlds, without any knowledge of what was to come next for any of them. But still, they kept moving, defying the odds over and over again and just basically living life the way they pleased. It was scary but very admirable. The strangers reminded him so much of Calista, the artist that had woven her way into his heart as unexpectedly as the rain wou
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER A daughter she had lost
"I don't think we should be doing this every morning, Annie. I will be late for work and Calista wouldn't like you coming in late either. Do you want to upset your coach? I thought you adored her, it seems like I was wrong." Liza knew the best way to get her eight year old out of the house was by emotional blackmailing and at the moment, it was working perfectly.In no time, Annie raced down the stairs, carrying her carrier along with her. Liza found herself staring at her daughter and thinking about how things had changed so much in just two months. It felt surreal but then, change had always been a scary thing for her, this time wasn't an exception. "Are you ready, mum?" Annie asked with an accusing glare fixed on her face. Liza felt she was ready but according to Annie's standards of being ready, she was far from it. Her hair wasn't yet in its usual ponytail and Liza's bag was somewhere in the apartment, instead of her arm. But how could she get her bag as quickly as Annie wanted?
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Where you belong
Waking up didn't seem as tiresome as it used to be anymore for Chad, infact, the start of a new day excited him–especially this day. It was the day he was finally going back home but that wasn't what was exciting to him. Just the thought of introducing a woman like Calista Axford to his family was thrilling. There was a chance that his enthusiasm would be shared but Chad was past caring. Calista was his and that was all that mattered to him. His father had always been a critically judgemental man and if anyone could thaw his ice cold heart, Chad was sure Calista was the perfect candidate for the job. Wasn't he proof enough of her skills?Chad couldn't believe he had walked into a random gallery and had met tye woman or his dreams. It was even more dreamy because he had never envisioned the kind of life he was now getting accustomed to. In his case, seeing really was believing. Calista's love was something he had to experience to believe it could happen to him. Standing up with a sm

“Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you to the hospital? It does'nt seem like thats the only place you'd be visiting today, though.” Emily spoke under her breath, watching her sister turn the wardrobe in and out, looking for an outfit to wear to her doctor's appointment. No, it wasn't weird at all that Calista suddenly wanted to put an effort into her choice of clothing. Weird was not the word, surprising was. Emily felt something was going on with her sister but she wanted Calista to spill the beans herself. It didn't make waiting for the reveal an easy task.Calista could barely see her sister's suspicious stare, her head had been in the wardrobe for what seemed like an eternity. Pulling herself out for a second, she shot Emily a blank stare, “What do you mean by that?” her question was as confused as the look she had plastered on her face.“I am not a child, Cali,” Emily retorted, moving towards the wardrobe. “I know something is up with you, something sweet and most like
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Clinging to you
Driving to Liza's place, Cameron found himself entertaining the same thoughts as Chad. Forever didn't look bad at all but how was he going to get there? How was he going to show this defensive single mother that he was ready to lend her a helping hand for a long time?Cameron was brainstorming when his phone started ringing, snatching his attention back to the present. He quickly turned off the radio—that no one was actually listening to—and picked up the call. Stephanie's voice echoed in the car, claiming even Annie's attention.“Good day, Sir,” she greeted politely, “I wanted to let you know that the contract has been drawn out for the deal but it requires your signature, sir.” there was urgency in her voice, it made Cameron feel uneasy. Usually, deals of this magnitude didn't require much stress.“Didn't we already do that in the meeting?” he inquired flatly, flashing Annie a quick smile. For some unknown reason, he felt she could sense his unease. “Alright then,” he said in resign
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER A pleasant surprise
Chad's first thought was to kill Jason for going behind his back and selling off the painting but when he had been told who the purchaser was, he had wanted to kill himself instead. There was no other way around it, he just had to get to Calista first.As Chad rode his bike to the gallery, he realized he had no idea what to say to her. His initial plan had been to show her the portrait at the exhibition and then have her take it home as a present. But that would have been after Chad had revealed his identity as her anonymous artist.It was a simple plan, it should have worked. Only that it didn't work at all. Infact, it had gone terribly wrong. They had been too occupied—kissing in the balcony—and Calista had ended up leaving without seeing the portrait. Then, the potrait had ended up in Cameron's possession.I will just have to let her know that I am Hell's Demon and apologize for not telling her sooner, Chad concluded in his head as he pulled into the street that led to the gallery.
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER The jerk biker
Motherhood, they say, always came with some exciting changes but to Liza, they were more terrifying than fun. She couldn't deny the fact that she used to enjoy it but with Annie growing older with each passing day, Liza found herself questioning her sanity, along with a good number of things.“Mum, you know the bus leaves in ten minutes, right?!” Annie called out to her mum as she hurriedly packed up her paintings. They never went early to anything at all and even though Liza detested tardiness, she had unconsciously become an ambassador of it.Breathlessly, Liza rushed into the living room, hauling her purse along with Annie's art equipments. That was the name for Annie's art supplies because she felt 'supplies' was a mundane word. The eight year old had put up quite a lengthy explanation —afterwards—and Liza had been forced to go along with it.Ignoring her very sweaty mother, Annie quickly grabbed the materials from Liza and started stuffing them into her carrier. The school had od
