Monica followed Adriana into the dark room, her steps hesitant.

"Are you ready?" Adriana’s laugh echoed off the walls.

Monica rolled her eyes, impatience bubbling inside her. Adriana flicked on the lights, revealing... a plain office.

Nothing special. Nothing worth the drama.

"What the hell is your problem?" Monica snapped. "Did you drag me all the way here just to show me an office?"

Adriana only smiled wider.

"Come on in," she beckoned.

Monica narrowed her eyes. "To where again?"

Without answering, Adriana strode to the far wall and pressed a hidden button.

A low rumble sounded—and a section of the wall slid away, revealing a hidden room bathed in eerie blue light.

Monica froze.

This was supposed to be a new building... why the hell was there already a secret room?

Every instinct screamed at her to turn around.

But curiosity—or maybe something deeper—pulled her forward.

She followed Adriana into the room—and stopped dead.

Her heart slammed against her ribs.

  • Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother    Chapter 52: Maddening

    Spencer stumbled toward the car, heart pounding so loudly he could barely hear anything else. This wasn't how it was supposed to turn out, everything had been going so well.His fingers fumbled with the door handle, but before he could pull it open, Max rushed after him and slammed the door shut."What the hell is your problem, man?" Max barked. "Have you seen what you’re turning into because of this girl?""Leave me alone," Spencer snapped, his voice rough and low.He couldn’t stop the way his hands shook — not from weakness, but from fear.Not fear of what Adriana might do.Fear of what Monica might see.Fear of what she might finally realize about him.Max let out a long, frustrated breath. "Fine. You wanna go to your company? Then we’re going together. That way I can keep an eye on you, before you end up doing something stupid."Spencer didn’t argue.He slid into the passenger seat without a word, his mind racing faster than the car speeding into the night."Thanks," he muttered.

  • Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother    Chapter 54: Don't Break Me

    Spencer got into the car the second he stepped out of the company, his jaw clenched as he slammed the door shut. The engine roared to life, and he zoomed off without thinking. His foot stayed heavy on the pedal, the car slicing through the empty road like a blade. No brakes.He didn't slow down once.Then—suddenly—he slammed his foot on the brake. The tires screeched, the car jerking violently to a stop on the shoulder. His chest heaved.Both hands clutched the steering wheel so tight his knuckles turned white, veins bulging against his skin.“Why would she look at me that way?” he growled.He slammed his palms against the wheel. Once. Twice. Over and over. Each thud echoed in the quiet car, but it didn’t dull the ache in his chest.“I always lose in the end,” he snarled and hit the wheel again.His eyes narrowed like a switch had flipped—and just like that, he was flying down the road again.Minutes later, he pulled into the Lake house, the driveway empty and silent. He pushed the do

  • Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother    CHAPTER 1: Caught In Bed

    Monica walked into the house, humming a light tune, her face alight with a carefree smile. A blush crept onto her cheeks as her thoughts wandered to the night before. Liam had finally made love to her. Three years of marriage, three years of silence in their bed. Sure, they had a "normal" relationship—functional, predictable. But last night was different. It was wild. It felt real. She couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment when he’d used protection. But even that couldn’t erase the warmth she felt. They were getting closer, she told herself. This was progress. She had known, deep down, that Liam hadn’t been in love with her when they married. But he’d never had a girlfriend. So she had clung to the hope that, one day, he’d fall for her. It seemed like her prayers were closed to being answered. Liam had been her magazine crush before he ever became her husband. As a model, she knew what beauty meant, and Liam? He embodied it. Ocean-blue eyes. A sharp jawline. Gleaming whi

  • Seducing My Ex-husband's Brother    CHAPTER 2:Drunk

    Monica didn’t know how long she had been sitting in the bar. The music thumped in the background, but it didn’t reach her. She hadn’t bothered to wipe the tears streaming down her face. Her husband and sister were still at the house when she left. She downed another glass of alcohol. The hot liquid burned her throat, and her face twisted in a grimace. She smiled blankly. Once, she had thought Liam would be the father of her children. Now, he was the man who cheated on her—with Brie, her baby sister. She noticed her glass was empty again and frowned. With a slurred shout, she waved at the bartender, who quickly refilled it. The alcohol was starting to mess with her head. Everything felt foggy. Distant. “Are you alright?” The voice was warm. Husky. It slid into her ears and made her shiver. Monica groaned, a splitting headache tearing through her skull. She turned and blinked up at the man behind her. Her breath caught. He was gorgeous. Blonde hair slicked back with effortless pre

    Monica slowly opened her eyes and stared at the bright room. Her head throbbed. She sat up quickly and flung the sheets off her—then let out a sigh when she saw her clothes were still on. She looked around, confused. This wasn’t her room. Her heart started to pound. Where the hell am I? She stood, blinking rapidly. The last thing she remembered was drowning in shots after finding out the love of her life had cheated on her. Did I go home with someone? Grabbing her heels from the floor, she tiptoed to the door and peeked out. The apartment was sleek. Expensive. Someone had good taste and a whole lot of money to spend. She crept back into the bedroom, looking for her phone. Nothing. Panic tightened in her chest. She didn’t want to run into whoever brought her here—but she needed that phone. Monica crept down the stairs. Then stopped. A voice. Humming. A man. She followed the sound and froze in the hallway, peeking into the kitchen. A shirtless man stood at the stove flipping p

    Spencer stood and gave her a devilish smile. “We sinned,” he said, his voice smooth and low. “I came to ask for mercy.” Monica’s breath caught in her throat. A cold sweat prickled at her forehead. His eyes locked with hers, intense and unreadable—he wasn’t bluffing. “Spencer, you need to leave. Now.” Her voice cracked with panic. He tilted his head, eyes glinting. “Are you disgusted that we spent the night together, Monica?” he drawled. That teasing tone, paired with his frustratingly handsome face—he looked so carefree unlike Liam. Liam was always stern and professional. Spencer, on the other hand, looking like a playboy. “What the hell, Spencer!” she snapped. “I was drunk. I barely remember anything. So no—we didn’t spend the night together.” Spencer chuckled darkly. “Or do you just hate how much I turn you on?” “Turn me on?” she scoffed, rolling her eyes. “In your dreams, Spencer.” He started moving toward her. She instinctively stepped back. “We could test it,” he said,

    Liam’s eyes might have widened twice as his mind registered her words. Brie clutched tightly onto Liam's arm, visibly shaken. "You were messing around with your husband's brother? Even if you want to get back at us for hurting you, isn’t this a little too shameless?" Brie asked. Monica laughed softly. She knew nothing could ever hurt Liam more than bruising his stupid ego. He hated being compared to anyone—especially Spencer. But still, as the laugh left her lips, it felt hollow . How did we get here? When did love turn into this sick game of revenge? But if she didn’t hurt him, he’d never understand the weight of what they did to her. "You know what Spencer did to my grandfather for the inheritance. You wouldn’t scoop so low, Monica." Liam finally lost his cool and pushed Brie away. Monica maintained her teasing glare. "You could sleep with my sister. Why can’t I have your brother? Aren’t we sharing siblings now?" she asked with an innocent tone. It was a jab. Sharp. Intentio

    Monica had barely climbed the front porch when the sound of a door slamming made her jolt. The front door to the mansion was ajar. She heard raised voices inside. "How would the rest of the world view me when they know that my two daughters are interested in the same man?" her father, Leonard Banks, said, his voice laced with frustration. Monica froze. Daughters? Her breath caught. Her parents knew. They already knew Brie was involved with Liam. She edged closer to the door, pressing herself against it, her heart pounding. "Leonard, now isn’t the time to be proud. Monica has been married to Liam McKenzie for years, and what has she brought to this family? Look at Brie. Just a fling, and contracts are coming into the company," Brenda said sharply. "But that doesn’t change the fact that Monica is still our daughter," Leonard retorted. "Your daughter," Brenda corrected coldly. Monica’s body stiffened. Her brain struggled to make sense of the words. "You promised never to bring tha

    Monica wrapped her arms around herself as she stepped out of the car. The night air was sharp against her skin. Across the car, Adriana climbed down with a smug look, twirling her keys between her fingers."Why are you bringing us back to the company so late?" Monica asked, frowning. She had been at Spencer’s house when Adriana showed up, only to find Spencer gone. Adriana had smiled too sweetly, hinting she had something important to show Monica.Adriana smirked, already moving toward the entrance. "Instead of complaining, why don't you just follow me?"Monica stayed where she was, arms still crossed. Her gut twisted uneasily."The company’s locked. How do you even plan to get inside? And what do you want to show me?" Her voice was tight. She didn’t trust Adriana one bit. She was already regretting leaving Spencer’s place."The guards will let us in," Adriana said easily. She walked back, grabbed Monica's wrist, and tugged her toward the building.Monica hesitated but let herself be

    Spencer slammed the brakes in front of the hospital and jumped out before the car fully stopped. He didn’t lock the doors. He barely heard the screech as he sprinted through the glass entrance.The air inside was cold and sterile. Harsh fluorescent lights made everything look harsher. Spencer moved straight to the front desk, where a receptionist sat behind a computer."Please," he said, voice tight. "Where is Charles McKenzie?"The woman glanced up, startled by his disheveled appearance. She gave a small polite smile, fingers tapping the keyboard."VIP Ward, number three," she said after a moment.Spencer didn’t wait for more. He turned and bolted for the stairs, taking them two at a time.At the top, he spotted Beatrice standing outside a glass door. Her back was rigid, one hand pressed against the window as she stared into the room beyond. His steps slowed. She was the one who had called him. He hadn’t seen her cry before, not even during fights with his father, but now her shoulde

    "Yeah, I'm making another outfit," Spencer said, walking into the studio, his voice low and husky."I just have a bad feeling."He continued.Monica followed him inside, nodding faintly. She did not know why he brought her here anyway."Ooh..." she murmured as he disappeared behind a large board. She moved further into the studio, her eyes on the large screen displaying the design."I don't trust some of my staff," Spencer continued, his tone clipped. "The outfit you saw will only be used if nothing goes wrong."A moment later, he pushed out a mannequin.The afternoon light hit it—and Monica stilled.The dress was silver, impossibly light, almost weightless. It shimmered under the soft sun, flowing into a skirt that moved like it was alive. Tiny crystals dusted the bodice, thick around the chest, thinning as they spilled toward the waist. The neckline dipped gently, perfectly measured between bold and graceful.It didn’t need jewelry.It didn’t need anything. It was perfection made in

    Monica trailed behind Spencer into the house, her steps hesitant."Where's Aunt Suzy?" she asked the moment he swung the door open."She went to pick up her daughter from the airport," Spencer said, tossing his keys onto a side table without looking back.Monica blinked. "She has a daughter?"There was a flicker of surprise in her voice, like she couldn't imagine Aunt Suzy having a whole other life she didn’t know about.Spencer just nodded, already heading for the stairs. "Come on. Let’s go to my studio."She followed him up, the wooden steps creaking lightly under their weight. At the top, he veered off into what looked like his room. Monica hovered in the hallway, awkwardly shifting her weight from one foot to the other as she waited.Through the half-open door, she caught a glimpse of him pulling a loose T-shirt over his head and swapping his jeans for sweatpants with an easy, careless grace. Moments later, he stepped out, holding a folded sweatshirt and a pair of shorts."Are you

    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
