Those words felt like boulders in her mind the moment Chase pointed them out. But that meant nothing to her. Even if the world came crashing down, she would never let herself be involved with the Axfords ever again!

“I don’t care!” She snapped. “I’ll pay you that fine, even if I have to sell everything I own! I’ll terminate this contract even if I have to sell myself! And every valuable organ in my body! I would gladly do it!”

Her voice held the defensive tone of a cornered woman who would do anything to stay away from a threat.

Chase raked his gaze over her body, noting how beautiful she was, even when she was sending him death glares and resisting him with every fiber of strength in her body. That only made her more attractive to him.

More damn desirable.

Her pretty, creamy complexion was glowing. Her hazel eyes were brighter, framed by dark eyelashes that batted seductively each time she blinked. Her dark hair fell down her back in thick, shiny curls that looked perfect for Chase t

    For a long moment into the drive, Mackenzie was still in a daze over what just happened a couple of moments ago. It was all so fast, that her shocked mind had not had enough time to register it all.The intense and shocking meeting with Chase Axford. Him kissing her. Her nearly running into a busy highway. Him saving her. His fierce, possessive words.And now she was sitting in the passenger seat of his Lamborghini. It was difficult to make sense of it all.But now, she was snapping out of her breathless daze, and suddenly realized she couldn’t let Chase drive her home. She thought about her kids, and panic struck her.No way. He definitely should not ever know of their existence.Sitting upright in her seat, she brushed her hair back a she looked out the tinted windows. Her heart jumped in anxiety. They were already entering the suburban parts of Greensville where she lived.Triggering what-ifs bombarded her thoughts. What if her kids were on their way back from school, only to meet

    Chase walked into his office, to see Selene perched against his desk, with her legs crossed provocatively in her scandalously short dress.He paused, pinning her down with a flat look. He was definitely not amused by her presence here. She had ignored the pristine couches decked out in one side of the large office, and the visitor chairs in front of his desk as well.Making herself comfortable right on his desk, with her ass pressing on some important documents.“What are you doing in my office, Selene? You are not allowed in here.” Chase said.“Your staff, especially that assistant of yours, know better than to try to stop me from coming in here, Chase.” Selene responded haughtily, flinging a couple of papers at his feet.He did not give her the satisfaction of looking down at the papers. He already knew they were her copy of the divorce papers.She leisurely moved her eyes to meet his, then she uncurled her legs and got off his desk. Her skyscraper heels clicked as she took a few st

    As Charlotte went silent after hearing Mackenzie’s words, Felicity stepped out of the kitchen, already carrying the kids’ lunch on a tray. She was just about to feed them and prep them for their afternoon nap. When she saw Mackenzie, she smiled, “You’re back.”“Yes.” Mackenzie said solemnly, then she looked at both of them. “There’s going to be a change of plans concerning Calista and Cameron’s schooling. They won’t be going to school for now, we can take turns teaching them, since they’re just four years old. Their school work is pretty easy at this stage.”“What?” Felicity and Charlotte both echoed in confusion. Mackenzie sighed. “I know, but this is for the best, trust me. And it’s only temporary. I have experience with teaching, so I can do it. Charlotte, you can also help out when I’m not around to teach them.”Her paranoia had been triggered with full force after her meeting with Chase Axford. She could not stop thinking of how easy for her to never see, or gave access to her

    The gloom of defeat followed Mackenzie all the way back home like lead on her shoulders. Not just defeat, but utter devastation.It was just cruel.Dashing all of her hopes so carelessly. She had gone there confident and sure she would get the job. All of a sudden, they chose someone else? She didn’t even see any other candidate there except her. So how?With all those painful questions banging around in her mind, she walked closer to her apartment door. But stopped when her eyes fell on the bouquet of Pink Camilla flowers propped right in front of the apartment.What?That stranger had traced her house address here in Greensville as well? All the flowers they sent back in North Dakota was not enough?Anger erupted inside Mackenzie and she grabbed the flowers, smashing it against the wall with so much force. An angry sound left her as she flung her bag away to smash the flowers around better.All the frustrations and stress she had kept bottled in, all this time were all violently com

    That question jarred Mackenzie, because she was not remotely expecting that question. She jolted, then abruptly looked around the living room. She was looking for Cameron, hoping he had not heard what Felicity just said.Felicity spoke up. “He is in the bedroom, watching TV and singing along to his favorite show. He can’t hear us.”Truly, Mackenzie could hear his excited voice filtering into the living room and out through the bedroom door. Charlotte was staring at Mackenzie as if she just realized it now that Felicity mentioned it. She slowly looked back at Chase on the magazine cover, then even more slowly, looked back at Mackenzie with shock.“Chase and Jeffery are half-brothers, not related by blood at all,” Charlotte started like she was thinking aloud, “But when you look at Cameron…. He has blue eyes, which no one in your family has. Jeffery has dark eyes. But he looks just like…” She trailed off.Felicity added. “Cali used to look like you as a baby, but the older she grows, t

    Chase swallowed a bite of the food he couldn’t even taste, and felt it settle wrongly in his stomach. Suppressing a grimace, he took a sip of water.This was torture.He loathed the sight of Jeffrey and his mother. That was why this food looked so unappealing. He would have asked West to come with him to the dinner, but he had a feeling that this was strictly family time.Besides, West was in the hospital receiving treatment for the injuries he sustained from they fight that landed him in jail.His eyes moved over to where his father sat, and noticed that he was picking at his food as well. The food couldn’t be unappealing, because Jeffrey was wolfing down his plate like an animal.Eleanor placed one hand on his arm, encouraging him to eat more in her sickening “worried” tone of voice. That was unusual. His father usually had a healthy appetite. Chase was still staring at them when he felt the pressure of someone’s glare at the side of his face.Before he turned, he already knew it w

    “She had been sleeping around for so long, that it is her second nature. An unbreakable habit.” Chase continued in a detached tone. “It disgusts me.”He did not mention that what triggered his decision to get a divorce was finding out she had also been having sex with his own step brother. No, not just sex, but a whole affair. Repeatedly.It was unnecessary to mention that, because only the knowledge that Selene was a chronic infidel, was enough to shatter the perfect image Richard had of her.Anger roiled in Richard’s eyes from the news. He was also appalled, asking, “How—? How did you find out? And for how long has this been going on?”“Since the damn wedding. It’s something she had always been doing.”Richard went silent in his anger, slowly realizing that he should have calmed down to ask his son why exactly he was filing for a divorce. Now that he was aware, he would do things differently.“But are you okay, Chase? Fertility-wise?” Chase’s father asked, slowly getting out of his

She placed it on the rack, ready for use, and took another.It was a week after a crushing disappointment at the employment interview at DarkWood Furniture Company, and she had gotten a job.As a waitress.In some four star restaurant in a bustling part of greenfield. The only bright side about this job, was that it was not located right at the heart of the city like all the other places she has been. It lessened her anxiety and paranoia quite a bit.This was not something she had ever pictured herself doing, but she needed this job to survive. Her savings from North Dakota had completely run out. She had two kids to feed, clothe and take care of. Desperation had clutched her heart like a vice when she realized that they could starve if she didn’t take a drastic decision.That drastic decision was not an easier option for Mackenzie either.

  • 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

    "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

    "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?

    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

    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

    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.

    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.
