Monica's eyes traveled around the spacious house. Everything was the same, just as she remembered it. The beautiful lake view but she just felt distant from everything. She was standing in the living room, rubbing her arms lightly. She couldn't believe Spencer was the buyer. Back then, she was so happy buying the Lake house, but being back there, it just reminded her of everything that she had lost.

"I have prepared a hot bath for you," Spencer informed as he came back downstairs.

She approached him and was about to climb the stairs when he grabbed her wrists, his worried gaze lingering on her face, "Are you okay? You look a little bit off."

"He kissed me...."

"Monica...." He tried to make her face him.

"It felt so disgusting,"

"Monica...."

She pulled her hands off and ran upstairs to the room that was slightly open. She passed inside and walked into the shower. Without taking off her clothes, she turned on the shower. The cold water poured on her hair down to her clothes, drenching h

  • Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother    Chapter 24: Avoiding Her

    Spencer's fist crashed into the wall repeatedly. He was beyond frustrated. One minute, he was close to her and the next, there was a big wall between them.His phone rang, and he picked up the call, "Hey, Max....""Hey man, I just came into the state, you up for a drink?" he asked at the other end. Max was Spencer's childhood friend, but he traveled a lot after college.He left the penthouse and headed to the bar they were to meet. "Hey look at you man, you look like shit, how are you doing?"Spencer rolled his eyes and climbed onto the bar stool. He ordered a drink while Max slapped his back."I thought you missed me?" Max chuckled at his cold behavior. They have always been like that. Max was outgoing and warm, while Spencer was cold and distant. He was a cool, mysterious kid."Why did you come back?" Spencer asked.Max shrugged, "My dad is sick, and his manager has been misusing the company's funds."Spencer just shrugged. Max groaned, "Look, I'm sorry I left like that. My parents

    "From the top, 1, 2, 3...." The female instructor yelled, and the models began walking in a straight line with delicate steps led by Angel.Monica watched from a bench after a series of perfecting her own walk for the fashion show.After the practice, Adriana walked in. They were supposed to have a shoot for an advertisement and the instructor was Adriana. Monica rolled her eyes and moved to the corner. All through the week, Adriana didn't miss a chance at frustrating her and complaining about literally every single thing she did. It was never good enough for her."I know you have all seen the new collection, the beach wear. The company has chosen Monica Banks and Angel White to advertise the product, so we are going to the beach for this," she quickly explained.Angel jumped gleefully as they began to pack. Monica didn't take much. She just wanted to get it over with. She joined the bus and after a few hours, they were at the beach. A few of the other models had decided to tag along

    Spencer and Monica were finally out of the water. She changed into her normal outfit after drying off. Her legs were a bit strained after staying in the water for too long.Monica was having leg cramps so she couldn't go back on the bus and had to join Spencer's car. As she approached the car, Adriana grabbed her arms, "You think I don't know what you are at? Pretending and acting nonchalantly? You want to destroy him again."Hearing her words, Monica was quite surprised." Again? What do you mean again?""Nothing,"Spencer suddenly appeared, "You were just leaving, right?" He pulled Adriana off with an annoyed glance. She stomped off, but Monica still felt a bit suspicious.Monica's brow furrowed suspiciously. "Again?" She mumbled to herself but then pushed the thought away. Spencer helped her into the car and then sped off."Are you okay? Do you need a massage?" Spencer glanced at her and she just nodded absentmindedly. She couldn't understand herself anymore. Constantly seeking Spen

    Monica hastily pulled away from Spencer. Mr and Madam McKenzie stood by the door with their hands on their chests as Monica hurried to her feet. If only her face could get any shade reddish.The two figures, the man, an older version of Liam, stood by the door with his wife.Mr McKenzie, Liam and Spencer's father, eyes widened in anger, walked into the room, glaring at Monica. "I thought this was a joke when I heard it, but even when Adriana confirmed it, I still couldn't believe it? Spencer, you both want to make a mockery of this family?" He spat out, his voice tight with anger.Spencer pulled Monica behind him, his eyes laced with annoyance, "Monica, please, can you wait for me upstairs?""Charles, have you heard your son, he speaks with no regards to me, ordering my son's wife upstairs."Monica had finally gotten enough. Beatrice McKenzie was the one that approached her about marrying Liam. She had thought she knew her son's preference or maybe her son liked her in a way, but look

    Monica kept smiling at Candy and Rose. It didn't feel awkward as she had thought it would. She couldn't help but be curious about what Angel said to people about her. The way Candy looked at her was pitiful.A waiter walked towards them with a tray of wine. He stumbled forward, then emptied the contents entirely on Monica."Christ, "Candy yelled.Monica gasped as the cold liquid seeped into her skin."Oh my God, I'm sorry Ma." He hurriedly apologized, but the damage was already done.Lake stood about to attack him when Monica grabbed his arms. "It's okay, I don't think it was intentional. I'll just clean up in the bathroom.""Get the hell out of here before I call your manager." Lake spat out, and the waiter ran off in fright. Monica sighed and then left for the bathroom. She turned on the water and grabbed a tissue, but she knew she needed to leave. No way could she stay in that dress for a longer period.As her eyes darted back to the mirror, a gasp escaped her lips as her eyes met

    Monica was in the living room as Max helped Spencer to his room. She was a bit startled after finding out. Spencer probably knew her for a long time and even liked her. Maybe Max was just exaggerating. The door banged upstairs, and she hurried upstairs, hoping Max wasn't having a difficult time putting him in bed."Hey, Monica, can you help me out? I need to use the bathroom." He seemed to be holding a puke and as Monica arranged the bed, he placed Spencer on the nearby couch and rushed into the bathroom.Monica felt dazed already by what Max told her. All she wanted was to go back and rest. She placed the pillow and was about to shut the cabinet when she noticed a photo of her inside. She picked it out, her fingers trembled. There were several others inside.There were pictures of her, but they weren't from recent times. This was about four years ago when she started modeling. She was picking flowers outside her door when one was taken and another was when she was practicing her walk

    Inside the disciplinary office at the Mo's Fashion Empire, Angel had her head bowed after watching the CCTV footage of herself while adding an aphrodisiac to the boss's coffee. She had distracted the secretary and used that chance to add the drug to the coffee."Why would you do something like that? You could end up in jail, Ms White." The head of the department reprimanded, "I won't say you have a crush on him because you don't even know what he looks like."Tears slipped out of her eyes when she saw her contract being pulled out. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to pull off a stupid prank on Monica. I didn't want to hurt anyone.""Those are just your excuses. It really doesn't matter to the company. You are just lucky the CEO is in a good mood. Leave my sight. I'll speak to your manager."Angel hurried out of the office. If her hatred for Monica was mild, now it would just triple. She met Adriana in the hall."Are you okay?" Adriana held her hands and managed to calm her down.Her breathin

    Lake's hands trembled as he dropped his phone. The hospital had just called to inform him about the need to accelerate his mother's surgery. His fingers clenched. There weren't many options. Either he sold the house or the business, the money wouldn't even be enough for the loan not to talk about his mother's surgery. His whole income goes to the hospital, loans or bills. Throwing the scattered bills into his cabinet, he dressed up and left for the hospital. He signed in and proceeded to the ward. As soon as he pushed open the door, his heart broke in anticipation of seeing his mother looking lifeless as always. She had never been the same after his father died. His eyes widened as he spotted the empty bed and neatly tucked sheets. He panicked. Where was his mother? He rushed out of the room. His head spinning. He didn't dare think about the possibility as he rushed to the nurse at the front desk. The thought of losing his mother made his heart clench."Where is my mom?" he almost

    Monica stepped out of the locker room, still sore from rehearsal, her bag slung over one shoulder. The elevator doors had just opened when she saw him.Spencer.“Hey,” she said softly, eyes darting away. She’d managed to sneak out of his apartment before dawn, before he woke up—before she could regret what almost happened. Thankfully apart from making out, Spencer didn't go further which was quite impressive judging from the heat between them.He wasn’t wearing the usual mask today. Just a plain black hoodie and dark jeans. The kind of look that made him blend in, yet somehow stand out more. He was acting like a worker instead of a boss.He tilted his head, lips curling. “Just hey, huh?”Before she could move, he stepped forward and brushed a loose strand of hair from her cheek. Her breath caught.His nearness made the air tighten. Monica tried to step back, but her spine met the cold steel of the elevator wall.He didn’t touch her right away. His eyes dropped to her leg.“You’re limp

    Monica hurried into the fitting room, her heart racing with a mix of nerves and anticipation. The board had decided she would open the show alongside Angel, and now, with her fitting scheduled, she had one more thing to conquer—her walk.A makeup artist helped her slip out of her clothes, ushering in a mannequin draped in the dress Spencer had designed for her. Monica's breath caught in her throat. She had been waiting for this moment, but seeing it in person—finally—it almost knocked the air out of her.The dress was breathtaking. Light, delicate, with butterflies fluttering like whispers along the edges, their wings brushing against the fabric. Gold silk lined every curve, catching the light and glowing like something ethereal. It was more than she had imagined. This... this is perfect.Her lips curled into a slight smile, a mix of wonder and something more—maybe disbelief. She reached out tentatively, her fingers grazing the silk. It felt impossibly soft, like butter, sliding under

    Spencer broke off the kiss, his breath ragged. His eyes lingered on her lips—still glistening, coated in the heat they’d just shared.Monica clung to his arms, breathless, needing him to steady her. He gently cupped her chin and leaned in to place a soft kiss on her bottom lip—just a peck, but it sent a fresh wave of warmth flooding her cheeks.“Spencer…” she whispered, blushing furiously as her eyes met his. She buried her face in his chest to hide it.“You’re embarrassed?” he murmured, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. His fingers threaded gently through her hair, lingering as if he never wanted to let go.Monica groaned softly, eyes fluttering closed. “Gosh…” she muttered, melting into his warmth, breathing in the faint scent of his cologne. For a second, she forgot the world outside even existed.But then he shifted.“Hey…” His voice dropped an octave, serious now. “I need to show you something.” He helped her sit up before rising from the couch, his brows drawn tight. “

    Monica was still shaken even after she entered the taxi. Her body felt hollow, like her soul had been scooped out and discarded somewhere between the agency hallway and Angel’s betrayal. The revelation was mind-blowing. Everything—from the very beginning—had been a calculated lie. A manipulation. All of it, just to kick her out of the agency. Her dreams, her hard work, the years she sacrificed… tossed aside like trash.How could Angel be so cruel? All because she’d topped the agency? That was her sin? Her punishment for daring to shine?Her fingers trembled in her lap. She wanted to cry—desperately. But the tears refused to come, locked behind some invisible dam as if her body no longer had the strength to weep."Ma, we are here," the driver announced, his voice cutting through the fog in her head as the taxi slowed in front of the McKenzie family estate.“Okay,” she whispered, barely audible. She climbed out of the taxi, her steps unsteady, her breath shallow. Her mind replayed Angel

    Monica’s eyes widened, her mouth falling open in disbelief at Lana’s words. "You don’t know what you're talking about, Lana," she said, her voice trembling despite the forced chuckle that escaped her lips. "How would she even do that? Angel’s manipulative, yes—but that? That’s way out of line." She took a shaky step back, like the floor beneath her had just shifted. Her thoughts scrambled. Why would she even consider that? That her entire marriage to Liam—every memory, every decision—had been crafted by someone else? It was absurd. It had to be. "It doesn’t make any sense," she whispered more to herself than to Lana, clinging to whatever logic she could find. Lana didn’t flinch. Her gaze was steady. "Beatrice McKenzie and Angel’s mother are besties. Do you know that?" Monica blinked. She shook her head slowly, confusion tightening in her chest like a vise. She hadn’t been close to Liam’s family—barely knew them, if she was honest. Except for Liam’s grandmother, who visited occasi

    It wasn’t long before the girls grew drowsy, tangled up together, and drifted off to sleep. Some were sprawled across each other’s laps, while others lay scattered on the mini beds, empty glasses left behind like confetti from a party. Monica stayed quiet for a while, then quietly slipped out of the room and onto the balcony. She let the cool air brush her skin, her thoughts circling back to the text message. How was Spencer going to react after seeing it? Would he think she was being too clingy? It was simply a dare—she could just say that. But deep down, some part of her wanted more from him. Something she couldn’t even bring herself to admit. “Are you okay?” A voice cut through the silence. Monica turned to find Lana stepping onto the balcony, tying the robe of her nightgown as she walked out. Monica stiffened slightly. Lana. Candy’s sister—and if the rumors were true, Angel’s best friend. Her own image of Lana wasn’t exactly favorable. “Yeah, I’m fine,” Monica replied, fo

    Inside the car, the guy kept clinging onto Max. He had taken one of those host boys with him to take his mind off Lake. His grip tightened around the wheel as he recalled the look on Lake's face while demanding a kiss.A gentle squeeze on his thigh snapped him out of his thoughts. He glanced at the guy—he wasn’t bad looking, but suddenly, Max wasn’t in the mood to entertain anyone. Still, he gave the guy a gentle smile."I'm going to make you feel so good," the guy purred, letting his hand wander dangerously upward.Max gave a tight smile and pulled into his condo. As soon as he turned off the engine, the guy leaned in and pressed their bodies together.Max didn’t push him away. "What's your name again?"The guy’s head dipped into Max’s neck. "Jude," he groaned, inhaling Max’s scent.Max felt off. He cringed inwardly but leaned back, letting Jude drink him in, sucking and almost biting his neck."Don't leave hickeys on my neck," Max groaned."It's always hot," Jude replied."Let's go

    Max blinked twice, stunned by Lake's words. Kiss Lake. When he teased Lake about the kiss, he was hoping for a witty comeback or an annoyed insult—not this response. Kiss me. His eyes wandered to Lake's face, then down to his slightly parted lips. Lake had said those words—breathy and unsure. Being a playboy, and staring at those perfectly sculpted lips, he was already seduced. Nothing could please him more than leaning in and smashing their lips together. But it wasn't right. He knew Lake. Seeing him cry, just being close to him—and demanding a kiss now—wasn't right. His fingers still hovered over Lake's face, daring him to touch those lips, but he resisted. Instead, he leaned in with a cocky look, his lips close to Lake's earlobe. He felt Lake tense. "For a moment, I thought you meant it." With a swift movement, he licked Lake's earlobe. Lake shuddered but didn't step away like Max expected him to. For a moment, Max forgot how to breathe as the light highlighted Lake's

    Lake blinked twice, then scowled at Max's smug expression."I would never do something like that.""Marry a man?"Lake rolled his eyes. "Marry you."Max gave a dramatic sigh and took a step towards Lake."You know, if you marry me, you don't have to worry about paying me, because as your husband, my money is yours."Lake swallowed, stunned by Max's closeness and words. He had never met a man so shameless.Max’s grin grew wider at Lake's uncomfortable look."Think about it, Cross." He paused and tilted his head down to Lake's height. "Spending a few million dollars will not leave a stain on your conscience because I will be your man."Lake froze for a moment, then scoffed. He wasn't really pleased with his words, but he was shocked that a billionaire playboy like Max Damian would even consider settling down with anyone at such a young age."I'm not falling for that, Damian. And I would never marry you to clear my debts."He took a step away from Max, who feigned a heartbroken look."Aw
