All Chapters of Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ETHANI looked at her, admiring her beauty. She looked so beautiful and her eyes shone so bright, that it captivated my heart. Her floral designed dress went so well with her eyes.“You look so beautiful,” I said, complimenting her.I knew no amount of compliments were enough to fully describe how she looked, but she looked magnificent.She had finally agreed to marry me, and my joy knew no bounds.Although she gave lots of conditions, I was still willing to go for it.I just couldn’t understand why I felt this way, but since I saw her at the club, my mind has not been at peace. I wanted to make her mine so bad.I knew she was still legally married to my brother, but I didn’t care one bit. If this was going to make me and my brother enemies, then I was ready to face it. I doubt he even cared, since he was occupied with that Jasmine of a girl.I always wondered what he saw in her actually, that he decided to betray this beautiful and breathtaking woman sitting in front of me. If i was

ADRIANNAMorning came quite fast. The morning sun hitting my face from the open-window. I groaned as I sat up on my bed. I woke up with a splitting headache and body pain.I had a lot of things to do today, i was finally able to resume work and i also had to meet Ethan in the evening.I yawned as I stood up from the bed, walking groggily to the bathroom.I quickly brushed my teeth.As I stepped into the shower, the icy water slapped me awake. I gasped, my skin recoiling from the shock. It felt like a thousand tiny needles pricking at me, making me shiver uncontrollably.The water pounded against my skin, a relentless drumbeat that was both soothing and punishing. I felt alive, like every nerve ending was firing at once.For a moment, I forgot everything else. The stress, the worries, the weight of the world. It was just me, the water, and the cold.When I was done, I came out of the bathroom, freezing and shivering from the cold.I walked over to my wardrobe, searching for what to we

ADRIANNA“What do you mean you will be killed if you tell me who did this to you?” I asked as I moved closer to him.I needed to understand what was happening, someone did this to him and threatened him not to disclose who that was?“Yes ma’am, I don’t want to die” he said, his hands shaking and lips trembling.I could feel fear gripping him.“It’s okay, it’s okay” I said as I urged him to calm down.I moved closer and took a seat beside him.I knew I was not supposed to feel pity for him, or guilt, because of what he did to me, but this was just too much.It was hard not to feel pity. His face was badly bruised, his mouth swollen, he could hardly keep his left eye open.“Look,” I said.“You need to tell me who did this to you,” I said.He looked up at me.“I can’t ma’am. I don’t even know who it is” he said.I looked at him puzzled.What did he mean by he didn’t even know who did this to him? He literally just said someone threatened him not to tell me who beat him up like this.“I d

ADRIANNA I couldn’t believe he would do such a thing, that was a low blow, even for someone like him. I had just ended the call on him after he told me that he was the one who ordered his men to beat that man up.This was disheartening.I stood there wondering how in the first place did he find out about the incident and all that had happened. I hadn’t even seen him in the whole two months that I was chased out of the house by Raymond.I needed to talk to his men.I turned around and looked outside, expecting to see his men standing at attention, but they were no longer there. I could see their car, and just at that very moment I heard the car engine start.Wait? Were they leaving? I haven’t asked them about what happened.I quickly removed the apron from my neck, and dropped it on the counter.I hastened my steps as I began to walk out of the coffee shop, but it was too late, the car had started moving.I tried to call their attention, screaming at the top of my lungs.“Hey, come ba

ADRIANNA Did I just hear him say he did a background check on me?I stood up immediately, moving back, my mouth still left open and shocked.He stood up and moved closer to me, but I stopped him immediately as I held my hand forward signaling for him to stop.“I have to go,” I said as I moved back and turned around.“Adrianna…” I heard him say as I continued walking out.“Please wait” he said as I heard his footsteps trail behind me.“What is it?” I said as I took a pause.“First you beat up a person to the extent that he is not able to speak properly and now i am finding out that you did a background check on me” i said as i turned around to face him, my gaze furious.“What more did you find out?” I asked as I crossed my arms.“At this point I am sure you have heard about how I was chased out of the house right?” I said as pain flashes through my eyes.He looked up at him, his body stiff and eyes holding confusion.“What do you mean chased out of the house” he said as he moved close
