All Chapters of My Husband's Brother: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Violet Dominic slams the door open and lifts me, carrying me inside. My legs wrap around him on instinct. Something primal and deep inside me is guiding me. It’s like I don’t have to think what to do next, I am not unsure. His strength and passion swallow me whole and all I want to do is let him take me. The door slams shut behind us, and he puts me back on the ground. Then his hands are on my shoulders, running lower to my waist. Dominic’s kiss is ravenous, and it feels like he can’t get enough.It also feels like he is fighting himself not to rip my dress to pieces. Desire is pulsing all through my body and I shiver when his hands close around me. Dominic slows down the kiss. From a starving, bruising one it gradually becomes more gentle. More careful. I feel the smile in Dominic’s voice when he slows down and whispers against my lips “Do you like it slower?”I feel the colour rising in my cheeks. When he speaks like this I feel embarrassed because he voices my desires with

Violet I don’t call for the driver. Instead, I grab a taxi that takes me right to Dominic’s place. I knock nervously and he opens the door. Dominic is wearing a wide, black t-shirt and casual sweatpants. His hair is messy and I think the usual- he is gorgeous. “Hey, “ He smiles and invites me in. “Anything to drink, or…” “No, “ I shake my head. “Your message sounded urgent, Is everything all right?” I take a deep breath and my eyes search the place. His apartment is great, Stylish with nothing too much or extra. “Violet?” He asks and I turn to face him. “Conor has a mistress. “ I say, “It’s his secretary. “ Dominic’s jaw tightens visibly. He looks like he is ready to rip my husband to pieces. His brother. “How…” he begins but gives up, “No, never mind. It doesn’t matter how you found out. I…“ he looks away and through the window. His eyes dance over the landscape of the city. The view is beautiful, but I am sure we will have time to admire it later. “I am sorry

Dominic “Mister Hale, can you please sign those papers and… “ The secretary is trying to keep up with me as I storm down the corridor. “Mister Hale. “ she tries again and I stop walking and pause. “Give them to my assistant, “ “But…” I resume walking and she doesn’t follow. I know how I look when I am angry, and I assume my look was enough to keep her away. My anger is enough to keep everyone away. I type a message to my assistant to cancel all my meetings and head out to the parking lot. I get in my car and while I drive, I call Anastasia. “Hey, Dom, “ her voice is high with excitement and I close my hands around the steering wheel. “How are you?” she goes on, “ I was going to call you. Are we still down for tonight? I know you wanted to speak to me, I am so excited. “ I remind myself I need to breathe and press the gas pedal. “I am going to talk to you now. “ I say. She pauses, noticing the anger in my voice. “That’s…great. “ she chirps, “I have a photoshoot rig

Violet Conor is sitting close to me, expecting an answer. And at that moment my life flashes before me. I know what will happen. I also know he is right about the things he is saying. “My father will be devastated. My nephew, “ he places his psalm on his chest and I want to throw up at the thought of him, addressing Anastasia- and Dominic’s - child this way. “He or she will grow up with this horrible truth. Do you really want this?“ But despite all the guilt he is trying to make me feel, there’s only one thing that he succeeds in making me honestly think about right now. It’s resentment. Towards each one of them. I get up and look down at Conor. “The papers will be ready soon,” I say, voice cold. “ Expect a call or an email from my lawyer. “ I head out the door. Conor’s smug voice reaches me. “You have no idea what you are doing. You will regret your actions, Violet. “ I pause before pressing the handle, not turning around. “I might regret them, yes, “ I say, “But at

Violet I wait for Evie at the airport. I recognize her immediately among the crowd. Her hair- usually dyed blond is now very slightly darker, though. “Evie!” I exclaim as soon as I see her and hug her. “Different shades of your hair?” She pulls away and runs a hand through the wavy strands... “Tyson said it now looks better. “ “Your professor, you mean.” I remind her. “He is not a professor yet. Come on, let’s go. Are we going to the family manor, or…” “I am staying elsewhere. “ “And that is?...” “My old apartment on the west side. “ “Even better. I would hate it if I had to speak to Conor. he called me by the way, asking where you are. Again. “ “Ughh… you will tell me everything once we are home. “I can't wait to hate on him. “ she grins and we leave. We pick up a cab and head to my place. It’s small and nothing special when compared to the amazing houses owned by the Hale family. But it’s the closest I feel to home right now. Evie has settled in and we sit n
