All Chapters of My Husband's Brother: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Violet I head downstairs and Dominic smiles as I approach them. “Hey, Violet. “ he says, “You look beautiful. “He is unbelievable. I can’t with him. Philip looks between the two of us and excuses himself. “I will be in the garden to see if Olivia needs me. We start soon, so don't be long. ““Yes, Father. “Then he turns to me. Philip sees the box I am still holding. I don’t know if he recognizes it, but I assume he does. “All right, I will be there. You look beautiful, Violet. “That is all Philip says and leaves. Dominic grins and I look at him.“What happened?”I glance around and when I don’t see anyone around I stand before him. I extend my hand and touch the bruise very lightly He catches my hand and kisses the inside of my palm before he lets me go. “It’s nothing. Really. ““But what happened?”“Conor and I had a small argument, nothing …”“What? “ I exclaim, “Conor did this?”“Don’t worry. You should see him. ““Oh, my god…”I whisper. “Is this why Philip is looking at m

Evie “Yoу heard right, “ Conor says, “Violet and I are divorced now. The reason is because she is sleeping with my brother. “ Conor points at Dominic and everyone gasps. A few women cover their mouths in surprise. I don’t dare look at Violet. “Shit, “ Max says and I see him rushing towards Dominic. From what I know it’s usually Dominic who is the most controlled one, and definitely not Max. But right now, Max looks worried because of Dominic’s expression too. “Oh, no, Dominic, don’t fight me here, in front of everyone. “ Conor continues. It’s terrible. Dominic is doing his best, I can see it from here. Dominic is trying really hard not to smash his brother's face. Everyone else is quiet, and listening, waiting stunned. “I know, how terrible of my beloved wife, “ Conor continues his speech, “Doing all of this behind my back. Was this your plan from the beginning, Val?” Conor asks, “to separate all of us? Ths family, that gave you so much?” “How dare you, “ my sister hi

Evie “Let’s go.” Max says and we head out. “Isn't it better if we stay, or…” “You want to listen to more scandals and gossip?” he asks, “I doubt it. “ “Aren't you a bit upset? “ I ask, walking after him, trying to keep up with his stride. “I’ve seen worse. “ “I can't imagine it. “ I mutter. I am holding my dress up, trying to walk in the heels, my hands closed around my bag for dear life as if that would help me keep balance. “Let's get changed first, okay?” “Uh… Yes, sure. “ We go out of the house and Max walks towards the parking lot. “Do you also have a driver, “ I joke but he says, without turning. “Never. “ I see the black Camaro we’re headed to. “Is this a race car?” I exclaim and he glances at me. “How do you know about cars?’ “I don't “ I admit, “but there are ones you can’t confuse. “ He smiles and we get in. “Are we going for a ride after we change?” “No. “ he says, searching for something in the glove compartment. “Why not. “ “Because I am not

Evie We rush into the hospital and I see the doctor is already talking to Dominic and my sister. We approach them. Judging by the looks on their faces, something terrible is happening. “We are doing our best, “ the doctor explains. “But his condition is critical. Has anything happened to shake him? Emotions and stress are very damaging at his age. “I see Violet's expression changing, and Dominic takes her hand in his. Looking at them from a distance to me - they seem like the embodiment of a strong couple, the one that remains together even in the wildest storm. “Grandpa had problems before that, “Dominic says, “ we expected something like that might happen. ““No, “ Violet shakes her head and her eyes fill with tears. “No, it’s…”the doctor looks at Dominic puzzled, then tips his head. “I will keep you updated as often as I can. You don't have to wait here .”“No, we will be around. “Dominic says and hugs my sister. He wraps his arms around her and my sister begins crying. Ma

EvieIt is not much of a kiss. I strain myself up on my toes and my lips press Max’s lips sloppily. He freezes in his spot. He doesn’t move and his stillness is in such a horrible contrast to my beating heart that I realize what a mistake I am making. I pull away, abruptly. The bad thing about drinking for me is that when I am drunk the funny things are funnier and the bad things are horrible. “Oh, on, “ I say, looking at him. “I am so sorry. Really, I am. “Before I embarrass myself more I rush into the building. Max tries to stop me but I am already walking away. At some point, I break into a run. I take the elevator and rest my head against the metal, sliding doors. What have I done…The elevator reaches our floor and I walk blindly ahead. I unlock the door and get in the apartment, the entire time feeling like shit. Max won’t hate me, I know that because he doesn’t care about what happened, most likely. I hate myself. And that’s enough. I am drunk and I kissed the only person
