Semua Bab Love in Chaos: Falling For My Billonaire Husband’s Brother: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Geoffrey’s Point of View I desperately peered at him, waiting for his response. He wouldn’t refuse my offer—I thought confidently, clinging to the hope that he still had a sense of duty to this family. My intention had always been for Simon to run the dynasty from the day he was born. I remembered holding him in my arms—my son, my heir. But putting him against Thomas was the only way I thought I could control him, keep him tethered to me and the company. He changed everything when he left for those eight years. Headstrong and determined never to return, he abandoned us. Whatever had made him turn his back on the family, I still didn’t fully understand. His rebellion shook my plans to their core. I had no choice but to turn to Thomas, though I knew deep down he wasn’t the right leader for the company. He had my ruthlessness, but not the vision, not the balance that Simon could have brought. But I couldn’t let Weston Global fall, and so Thomas stepped in to fill the void his brothe

Lily’s Point of View His gaze was hot on mine. I knew I had to be careful with my response. Despite the way he hurt me, I couldn't stand to see him hurt. Where is the ring Simon gave me? I asked myself. After everything, I was determined never to look at the ring again, the symbol of his deceit and my own gullibility. I didn’t throw it out; it looked expensive. I tucked the small black box somewhere among my old belongings, where I wouldn't remember it or my broken heart. It had been three years since I last saw it, but it had to be around somewhere. “Lily, do you still have it?” Simon asked, his gaze searching mine. “Of course I do,” I answered, even though I wasn’t sure where it was. “Thank God,” he said, his eyes filling with relief. “I thought you might’ve pawned it or lost it after what I did.” He smiled, gently stroking my cheek. “It means a lot to me that you kept it, Lily.” “Don’t read too much into it. I’m giving it back,” I said, trying to sound unaffected. “I d

Lily’s Point of ViewWhen I arrived at my parents' house, I was relieved to find Mom wasn’t home. Thank God. I never told her or Dad about Simon’s proposal after he left. The ring had been hidden from them as well. So there was no way I could call her up and ask, ‘Hey Mom, have you seen my engagement ring to Simon?’ I shuddered at the thought as I entered my room, praying she hadn’t stumbled upon it. How would I even begin to explain?I resumed my search, rifling through the drawers and under piles of old clothes. Finally, I found it. Yes! I sat down on the bed, clutching the small black box like I’d just dug up a treasure. My pulse quickened as I opened it for the first time in three years.The ring was just as beautiful as the day Simon had slipped it onto my finger. My heart ached with memories of our time together. I hesitated, then slid Thomas’s ring off and placed Simon’s back on. For a fleeting moment, I let myself imagine what could have been if Simon had never left. I probabl

Jessica’s Point of View The next day, was a bright Saturday morning. I sat on a plush sofa on the patio of the mansion, sipping a glass of wine, my thoughts scattered. Should I tell Thomas what I had overheard? Telling him would help me drive a deeper wedge between the brothers. Still, I had to be smart. I couldn't afford to make a wrong move. Thomas entered, his face was calm, his usual charm shimmering in his eyes as he greeted me. “Mom,” he said, sitting down across from me. I hesitated for a moment, wondering how to approach the subject. I wasn't sure how to break the news about Simon and Lily—it was definitely going to ruin his mood. I had to be careful. “Tom,” I began, swirling my wine. “Why are you so intent on marrying Lily? I know you’re fond of her, but there are plenty of women more… suitable for you.” Thomas paused, his brow furrowing. “I find her attractive,” he said, but I could tell there was more. Tom fancied Lily, but she had been giving him a hard time—that was

Lily’s Point of View I thought I was dreaming till I opened my eyes and I was alone on the gigantic bed. Fear gripped me, he had done it again. He left. I rose from the bed and quickly wore my clothes he had taken off earlier. I checked through all the rooms, went downstairs, but there was no sign of him. I panicked. Did he leave me all alone in this big house? I heard a sweet melody coming from the basement, and I followed the sound. I pushed the door open and there he was playing a grand piano, his eyes closed, enjoying the rhythm. I stood there for a second gazing at him and enjoying the sweet music before he noticed me. “Lily, you’re awake,” he said with a charming smile, his hands leaving the piano keys.“Yeah,” I replied, walking over as he pulled me into his lap. “I was afraid you had left me again,” I admitted, wrapping my arms around his neck.“I’m sorry for ever making you feel insecure about my commitment. Lily, I love you, and I’m not going anywhere,” he said, gently ki
