All Chapters of Married To His CEO Brother: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Audrey’s POV I tried my best to not lose my mind and even when it was failing, I was surely holding back my rage.“Amelia,” I said in a firm but measured voice, “this is not just about profits or benefits. It’s about staying true to the company’s direction. Merging with other companies can mess that up.”She rolled her eyes, completely unperturbed by my words. “Oh come on, Audrey. You just fear change. You always have been. But if we want to grow, change is necessary.”I opened my mouth to respond, but before I could, Claire Devereux, one of the board’s most influential members, spoke. “Amelia,” she insisted, eyes narrowing in Amelia’s way, “this is no time for small talk. If you want to contribute to this conversation, I suggest you take it seriously.”I appreciated Claire’s intervention, but Amelia didn’t back down. Instead, she turned her attention to Claire, her face hardened. “And who are you to tell me what to do?” Amelia replied, contempt flowing through her voice. “You’re jus

Amelia’s POV Audrey’s expression didn’t change. She was as composed as ever, but I could see the flicker of annoyance in her eyes. “That’s exactly the problem, Amelia. You don’t care. You’ve been handed this opportunity, and you’re treating it like a game. This is a business, our father’s legacy, and you’re a nuisance to everyone who’s trying to keep it running.”“Spare me the speech, Audrey,” I shot back, standing up straighter and meeting her gaze. “You think you’re the only one who knows how to run this company? You think just because you’ve been here longer, you’re more entitled to everything? I could do just as well as you, if I wanted to. But unlike you, I have other things I’m focused on.”Her eyes narrowed slightly as she crossed her arms, mirroring my stance. “Is that what you tell yourself? That you could be in charge if you actually cared enough to try? The truth is, Amelia, you’ve never had to work for anything in your life. You think everything will just fall into your l

Stephanie’s pov“Not frighten, per se. Just… keep him on edge. Plant seeds of doubt in his mind about Audrey’s abilities, maybe make it clear that Amelia and you are the ones capable of stepping up.”My mind raced as she spoke. “And… what if that doesn’t push him to change his will?”Vanessa shrugged, her expression unwavering. “Then there’s always the option of arranging for someone to ‘influence’ the paperwork itself.”I thought about it for a while before agreeing on the good part. I would let nature run its course.I then got out of the office and ran out as I started heading for a restaurant.I then called Amelia to join me as I needed to talk to her.*** I was already seated at a corner table, stirring my coffee when I saw Amelia stride through the doors, her expression a mix of annoyance and boredom. She spotted me, gave a small nod, and headed over, sliding into the seat across from me.“Mother,” she said, not quite a greeting, but close enough.“Amelia,” I replied, trying to

Zachary’s povI walked through the door, feeling the weight of the day settle on my shoulders. Today had been… long. The cafe, my thoughts about Audrey, the bitterness that had twisted my gut—all of it lingered in my mind like a dull headache. I wasn’t sure how to shake the sadness and frustration that clung to me.I tossed my keys onto the table by the entrance, barely noticing the light already on in the living room. My head was somewhere else entirely, my thoughts drowning out everything around me. That was until I turned the corner and saw her.Alana.She was lounging on my couch like she owned the place, legs crossed, her silhouette accentuated by the deep red dress she wore. She looked up at me, a slow smirk creeping onto her face as I froze, the initial shock fading into a mix of confusion and irritation.“Alana, what are you doing here?” My tone was flat, trying to mask the surprise—and maybe a little bit of something else.She shrugged, leaning back against the cushions with

Audrey’s pov“I don’t know. But it’s the truth. She already hates me and she wants you so she isn’t coming to terms of you and I being together. Even if it was a contract marriage, she doesn’t care.”He nodded thoughtfully, understanding the delicate balance. “Maybe you’re right. But there has to be some way to get through to her. She’s not going to just stop on her own.”“Honestly, Xander, I don’t know if I even want to try anymore. I’ve tried being civil. I’ve tried giving her the benefit of the doubt. But today felt like the last straw. She’s made it clear that she doesn’t care about the company, about me, or even about acting professionally. It’s all a game to her.”Xander’s expression softened, his thumb brushing gently over my hand. “I hate seeing you this stressed out, Audrey. If I can do anything, just tell me. Anything to help.”“Thank you,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “But I don’t think this is something you can fix. It’s just something I’ll have to deal with…someh
