Seducing My Ex's Brother Chapter 14
I never imagined I'd be stepping my foot into the Sinclair hall, first time stepping my foot into the building. The building was massive, imposing, oppressive and can question if your heels were too loud for the marble floors."Don't look to stiff and smile," Olivia whispered as she tucked her arm into mine. She looked so engrossed in the dressing more like she belonged here. Her hair style,her gown that closed and I'm still thinking if I should have gone with the navy dress instead of the black dress."It feels I'm walking onto a place I wasn't invited into. A movie one can't walk into without auditioning," I whispered, glancing around."You look like one that owns this place." She said, smiling as she faced her front. "You deserve to be here. Let's make this invite useful,"I flashed her smile but I was still nervous. My company had landed a partnership with one of the Sinclair industries subsidiaries but still it felt like I'm stepping into another world, the Sinclair world.Not do

My eyes didn't leave him but I was not watching him.I wasn't watching.Not reallyI was just..... noticing.Ethan stood in Victoria's arms. The way he moved around with her, his eyes half lidded, the way he sipped his wine like the glass was beneath him. His expression was controlled, precise, elegant, dangerous and nothing unnecessary.Victoria Hale. Her platinum blonde hair, her face held high with a smile on her face.She whispered something into his ears and he laughed which felt like a punch to my ribs.I shouldn’t care. I shouldn’t even be looking.But I was. I couldn't look away.Victoria leaned in closer. Their bodies practically brushing, her red nails grazing the lapel of his tailored suit.Something twisted inside me—sharp and sudden. I looked down, heart hammering against the tight bodice of my dress."Liv, can we leave?" I asked, my voice barely audible."To where? Why? What happened? Why are we leaving so quick?" She blinked."I - I just-" I cleared my throat. "I'm gett

EMILY'S POVThe terrace felt colder as we kept glancing around the hoping to see the person that was watching us but no one."Do you think it's fine for us to be here discussing? What if it was a reporter that was watching us earlier? What if someone comes here and misinterpret things - what you're avoiding," I said, glancing around as I held my arms."Emily---""I'll be leaving first," I muttered, striding inside the ballroom. My conversation with Ethan played on repeat in my mind, every words he said laced with uncertain. He wanted me but his actions are saying the other wise. Not enough to stop choosing silence.I stepped back inside, and people are now dancing, discussing, and laughter floating in the room..I spotted Olivia discussing with some men and I let her focus on her discussion with them. "You okay?" She asked, as soon as she was done with her discussion. Her voice low as she moved closer to me."I'm fine," I smiled, giving her a reassuring nod. She gazed at for a second

EMILY POV"Who's she?" I heard Lady Ashton's, Daniel's mom voice."A thief," Camille responded, and Olivia was about to talk when I held her hand to stop her from talking further.My ears rang at what she identified me as, 'Thief.' Every eyes was on me. Faces should I say I'm trying to impress now gaze at me with judgement.The cuff, an emerald encrusted piece that I had admired online now nestle in my purse like it belonged there.I wish the ground could open up and swallow me in. Camille smirked at me, her arms folded. She didn't say anything but her silence was enough more than her words. I could see it in her eyes: the satisfaction."I never knew your ex was a thief. I'm glad she didn't steal our house,"Chloe, Daniel's sister murmured, spearing me glance."What a pretty talent," Lima, Daniel's second sister mumbled.All the pieces are coming together; it was intentional. "I'm sorry, excuse me," I heard another voice and everyone tilted to the doorway to see a young man in his earl

EMILY'S POVDays passed since the gala incident but it felt like I have been stuck in a neverending loop of the same moment pressing my chest. I hadn't leave my apartment since the day I got fired at work, not even once.I couldn't bring myself to step out of my house, not after everything that had happened. The incident was on the internet but disappeared after a day it was uploaded but negative comments has been living a free rent in my head since that day.And it wasn't just the accusations of the theft that shattered my life, it was the negative and hate comments I had received. I was being casted as a thief, branded as a criminal but my identity was not disclosed in the scandal.The word thief replayed in my head constantly. The gala, the lies, Camille and then Ethan, the man I had been wrapped up in. The man who had flirted with me, who had been so perfect to me or maybe I thought he was. The accusation broke, he didn't step in to defend me, he didn't call nor text me.It felt l

EMILY POVI stood frozen by the door,my hand clutching onto the door. I hadn't expect to see him, not after what had happened. Not after the silence, the headlines.Ethan standing in front of me with the same unreadable expression, stoic look he always wear like an armor. His infuriating calmness.For a moment I wanted to slam the door on his sce but this part of him that had missed badly, his voice, his touch, his fragrance, his kisses - missed everything goddamn thing made me hesitate.I stepped aside, leaving the door open.He entered without a word.I locked the door and turned to him, folding my hands. "Have your sit," I said, and he didn't. Of course he didn't, he only raised an eyebrow as if amused by my tone.That fueled the fire burning in my body."Do you want to stand there forever. And can you stop gazing at me those eyes, Ethan," I uttered, still no response. Just silence."Do you have an idea of what it felt like standing there as I was being ridiculed in front of your f

EMILY'S POVI glanced back to see Ethan's eyes widened, his innocent eyes locked on me with a smirk dancing at the corner of his lips."Your friend?" He asked, leaning forward, clearly entertained by the panic playing on my face."That would have been better," I muttered, facing him, looking up at his height. "It's Camille,"At the sound of her name, he sucked in his lower lip, trying and failing to hide the grin curling at the corner of his lips.Just then her voice broke out. Loud and singatone."I'm here to discuss with you! To apologize!"I froze, my eyeballs shifting.Apologize? Camille?I stared at him, stunned. Her words replayed in my head as it felt like an impossible dream come true to me."Ethan, please hide," I pleaded, grabbing his arm as I pulled straight to my room before he would object. I shoved inside my room and closed the door sharply."Please, I'll send her away quickly," I pleaded, my heart racing.I scanned the living room, the pillow tossed on the floor. A bl

EMILY’S POVSuddenly, I asked. "And what if I'm having an affair with him?" My eyes locked onto both of them.A heavy silence followed.Victoria's expression remained stoic, but her voice was steady and calm, cutting through the silence like a blade."Are you aware that it's a poisonous fruit you're eating? And poisonous fruits kill faster than you think," She said, smiling at me."Poisonous fruit?" I repeated.She leaned forward. "This is reminding of Adam from the bible. The one who ate the forbidden fruit and doomed us all but at least Adam was a man. You? You're a woman and yet here you're committing the same sin...... deliberately,"I blinked. Her words were sharp, hitting me as a slap on my face. I had planned to press on to learn her reaction but instead, I ended up getting slicedI was about to flinch but mask it up with laughter."Oh come on. I thought we were joking. You take things way too seriously. I was just pulling your legs, so lighten up," I said amidst the laughs.I

Seducing My Ex's Brother Chapter 23
EMILY POVI shook my head, my hands trembling as I looked at Ethan, then back at Olivia. "Something worse than that," I said, my voice barely above a whisper."Where's the something else?" Olivia asked, her eyes darting towards the door as she strode out and I went after her."That red car over there. Camille," I said, pointing at the car."How did you know that she is the one?" She asked, raising her eyebrow. Her expression changing from confusion to suspicion."She came over earlier with Victoria and when I opened the door, I saw the car parked right there. I remembered the license plate. Her name was boldly written on it," I explained, letting out a shaky breath.Without another word, Olivia strode towards the car. I followed her. I knocked on the car window and the window slid down revealing Camille sitting behind the wheel.Her eyes flickered over to Olivia then slowly to me, her eyes widened like one that has seen a ghost."Oh it's you," Olivia said, with a smile though it was o

EMILY'S POVI watched as they walked out of the apartment, their heels clicking against the floor. The door shut behind but I couldn't move. I just stood there, staring at an empty.The chaos of the last few minutes still echoed in my mind. I gathered myself and turned around, and there Ethan was - standing very close to me with an unreadable expression on his face."When did you come out? What if they come back?" I asked, my voice shaking slightly as I locked eyes with him.Ethan stared at me, as if he was trying to figure out what was going on in my head. "They are not coming back as long as that door is shut," He finally said after gazing at me for seconds.I kept gazing at him and he stared at me in amusement. A playful glint appeared in his eyes as he gently tugged on my nose, a teasing gesture."They might still be around so you can't leave yet," I said, my words coming out desperately.He gaze softened for a moment and there was something in his expression that made my heart b
