All Chapters of Marrying the Billionaire Brothers: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

~ Caspian ~ The news of the engagement seemed to be working out well for Audrey and Killian, but that was not the case for Caspian. Within a matter of weeks, expectations and pressures from everyone began to weigh him down. Not only that he was a Vanderbilt, but he was also a co-CEO of his father’s empire. And now he was also going to take on roles in the Huntington Empire. Caspian went on a golf trip with his dad and Audrey’s dad last week and it was the most excruciating time of his life. The two men were grilling him about his business strategy and future plans. Suddenly, he was expected to know the answer to all the world’s problems. And while all this was happening, Killian was staying at home with Audrey, watching Netflix and chilling. Caspian was starting to wonder if he got the short end of the straw. He would much rather let Killian handle all this nonsense while he st

The brothers, of course, agreed. Mikey and Olivia then invited Audrey’s colleagues at work as well as old friends from high school. They went all out because this would be a special year for Audrey. Her last single birthday ever.   “Aw, guys, thank you!” Audrey gasped and she got teary-eyed. Everyone was there from her assistant Marie to Sebastian, to her old classmates at Catholic school. Mikey and Liv even went the extra mile to get her favorite band, All Time Low, to play the happy birthday song.    “Your last birthda

~ Audrey ~ When Audrey opened her eyes next, the dawn was breaking and the morning sun was slowly rising through the sky. She could see the purple and orange hues lighting up the darkness through her bedroom window, signaling the start of another day.  Behind her, Killian was sleeping soundly. His arms were wrapped around her body, and she felt warm and secured. After their excursion last night, Killian must be exhausted. Audrey would’ve been sleeping too, except she heard a noise coming from the living room, and it woke her up. She lifted Killian’s arm from her body and lay it down gently. Then she got up to her feet and pulled a robe to cover her body. Audrey made her way to the living room, thinking that maybe her friends came to deliver her presents from the party last night. But instead of finding Liv and Mikey, Audrey saw Caspian standing before her. &

~ Caspian ~ Caspian only took his eyes off of Audrey for one second, and now he couldn't find her. He was busy talking to Maxwell about the wedding that was scheduled in three month’s time. Maxwell said that they should have a company meeting between the heads of the two empires, discussing the possibility of strengthening each other. This would mean a lot more work and stress for Caspian. But since today was his engagement day, Caspian refrained from rolling his eyes or complaining again.  After the talk with Maxwell, all Caspian wanted was to find Audrey so he could relieve some stress. He went all around the garden looking for her, but she was nowhere to be found. But luckily for him, Caspian managed to find Audrey’s two best friends by the open bar, and they told him that she went inside the mansion with Killian.  That’s odd. Why would they do that?

~ Audrey ~ Audrey had spent the last hour listening to everything Caspian and Killian had to say. She didn’t open her mouth to say one word, but now she had to. If she didn’t step in, something bad would happen and it would be her fault. This all happened because she couldn’t make up her mind and choose between the two of them in the first place.  If only I could choose… maybe things wouldn’t end up like this. “I’m done. I can’t go on like this anymore…” Audrey spoke up and broke the silence in the room. Killian and Caspian both glanced at her instinctively.  “We all can’t go on like this,” she said again.  Her hands shakily reached for her neck and she unclasped the heart necklace she got from the brothers on Christmas. She swallowed hard and let the
