All Chapters of Bound To My Sister's Husband: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Asher My guest, Marcus, whom I wasn't particularly fond of but saw as someone I could see an advantage in allying with, had arrived.When he arrived, I had many back-to-back meetings and had to introduce him to Eddie earlier. Now, I joined them as Marcus bowed respectfully.“My pack sends their greetings,” he said, offering several boxes of gifts.“That wasn’t necessary,” I said, trying to keep my tone neutral. Internally, I wondered why I would need gifts from someone here to borrow money.“The queen has prepared us a sumptuous dinner; let’s join her,” I said, leading him to the dining room.The table was set, with the cooks and maids waiting to serve, but I noticed Lila’s absence.“Send for the queen,” I said, washing my hands. One of the maids bowed respectfully and left to fulfill my order.She returned moments later, bowing apologetically. “My king, the queen seems to be under the weather. She’s resting in her room, covered in a blanket, and has requested broth to be delivered t

DianaIn the past two weeks, I enjoyed an unusual period of calmness. It felt like a strange kind of sanity had finally returned to my life.I rested from the constant tension of looking over my shoulder. For once, I didn’t have to worry about Marcus lurking in the shadows or Eddie scheming to bring me down. Fear, I realized, had a way of eating away at your mind like cancer. Every move around the house felt weighted with the possibility of bumping into Marcus, and the mental toll was suffocating.During those dark days, anytime someone entered the house unexpectedly, I would stay upstairs and peek from the safety of the second floor until I was sure of the visitor. My nerves had been so tightly wound that I’d almost forgotten what it felt like to breathe freely. But now, with Marcus confirmed to be gone, the fear in my chest eased just a little.Of course, the lies and secrets still lingered. They were ticking time bombs, and I knew that Asher’s pain and rage would be unavoidable w

DianaEddie was in the house. I could smell his stench of trouble from a mile away, and I couldn’t wait for all of this to be over so I wouldn’t have to see his wicked face again. I had already told the maid to inform him I wasn’t home. Asher wasn’t around either, but I could hear Eddie yelling at the maid downstairs, demanding to be allowed upstairs. His voice grew louder, and I heard the unmistakable threat in his tone.I had stayed in Asher’s room since spending the night there, but when I realized Eddie was about to escalate things, maybe even hit the poor maid, I couldn’t stand by any longer. I tightened my robe, steeling myself, and walked to the bannister.“What do you want, Eddie?” I called from upstairs, my voice firm.He looked up, his angry scowl melting into a taunting smirk. “My queen,” he said mockingly, “since when did you start lying about not being home? I came to deliver a message.”I crossed my arms, staring down at him. “Well, I told the maid I didn’t want to see a

Diana After talking to Marcus, I decided to give myself some rest. There wasn’t much I could do other than wait. He had assured me he would be at the hotel. In the afternoon, I decided to call the boys to distract myself from my wandering thoughts. They were staying with Vera, and because seeing their faces always brought me comfort, I FaceTimed them, hoping for a bit of lightheartedness.“Mom, look!” Jaden exclaimed excitedly, holding up a box of homemade pizza. “It’s so good! I can’t get enough of it. I’m sure I’m going to turn into pizza and smell like it all day!”I couldn’t help but laugh. “You better eat in moderation, young man! Save the rest for later—and don’t forget to save some for Mommy too!”Jaden grinned mischievously, then handed the phone to Josh, who was sitting beside Diana. To my surprise, Diana was playing with him. Josh’s face lit up, and it was clear how much he enjoyed her attention.“Oh, Vera, I can’t thank you enough,” I said, my heart feeling lighter. “At l

Asher The violent anger surged through me and was impossible to control or ignore. My blood roared in my ears listening to Eddie give flimsy excuses for beating up a woman. My knuckles cracked audibly as I clenched my fists and leaned forward from my throne. His smug face made my fists itch, and I welcomed the idea of teaching him a lesson he wouldn’t forget."By the gods, Eddie, have you gone crazy?" I said instead, trying to suppress my anger. "It's not what you think. She's been very trying. She wouldn’t listen to me, and she keeps questioning my authority.""Is that enough reason to beat her? Have you ever seen me lift a hand against the queen, no matter how much she provokes me? You keep making cowardly excuses instead of dealing with whatever is eating you up instead of throwing tantrums when things don’t go his way. Are you sure you're even worthy of being my Beta?""It hasn't gotten to that," he mumbled."Oh, yes, it has. Don't question my judgment,” I snapped. “I will not
