~~Lexi~~

I sat across from Ethan at the small, intimate table, surrounded by the warm glow of candles and the soft hum of conversation from other diners. We were at Bella Vita, the cozy Italian restaurant he had brought me to for our second date.

As we sipped our wine and waited for our food to arrive, I couldn't help but feel a sense of ease with Ethan. It was as if we had known each other for years, not just a few weeks.

"So, tell me more about your family," I said, curiosity getting the bett

  • BETRAYED BY MY HUSBAND, I FELL FOR HIS BILLIONAIRE BROTHER    CHAPTER 52: The Devil's Bargain

    Lexi's POVRyan smiled as though he had just walked into a reunion instead of an underground vault filled with secrets and armed men.His dark suit was dusty, and a shallow cut stretched across his forehead, but his eyes were as calculating as ever.They settled on the leather journal clutched against my chest."There it is," he said softly. "I've spent years looking for that book."Behind him, six armed men fanned out across the chamber, blocking every exit.Their weapons remained lowered, but their stance told me they wouldn't hesitate to use them.Evelyn stepped in front of me."You'll never have it."Ryan sighed dramatically."I was hoping we could do this without unnecessary violence."His gaze shifted to Evelyn."You've aged.""And you've become exactly what your father feared," she replied.A flicker of irritation crossed Ryan's face before his smile returned."My father underestimated me.""No."Evelyn's voice was cold."He loved you too much."Ryan laughed."Love is what made

  • BETRAYED BY MY HUSBAND, I FELL FOR HIS BILLIONAIRE BROTHER    CHAPTER 51: The Price of the Truth

    Lexi's POVThe voice echoed through the estate."Lexi Morgan... you have one minute to surrender."Silence followed.Not the peaceful kind.The kind that settled before a storm ripped everything apart.I looked at Ethan, my pulse pounding so loudly it drowned out everything else."They're here for me.""No," Ethan said firmly. "They're using you."Another deafening crash shook the house.Dust drifted from the ceiling.Claire hurried toward the security panel near the fireplace. Her fingers flew across the keypad as surveillance footage appeared on the monitor.My stomach dropped.Eight black SUVs surrounded the estate.Armed men dressed in tactical gear moved with frightening precision.They weren't random criminals.They looked like a trained unit.Claire zoomed in on one of the vehicles."No license plates."The detective stepped closer to the screen."They've done this before.""How many exits?" I asked."Three," Ethan answered."The front entrance is compromised.""The garage?"Cl

  • BETRAYED BY MY HUSBAND, I FELL FOR HIS BILLIONAIRE BROTHER    CHAPTER 50: The Woman Who Shouldn't Exist

    Lexi's POVNo one spoke for several seconds.The only sound inside the car was the steady hum of the engine as Claire maneuvered through the afternoon traffic.I stared at my phone, my reflection looking back at me through the dark screen."She knew my mother."The words echoed relentlessly in my mind.Ethan finally broke the silence."What exactly did she say?"I swallowed hard."She said she'd promised my mother she'd protect me."Claire glanced at Ethan through the rearview mirror. I caught the subtle exchange between them—a look that lasted only a second but carried the weight of a conversation neither of them wanted me to hear."You know something," I said quietly.Ethan's jaw tightened."Lexi...""No."I turned to face him."I'm done accepting half-truths."His expression softened, but he didn't answer."I trusted Ryan once."The memory alone left a bitter taste in my mouth."He lied to me until I couldn't tell where the truth ended and the lies began."I held Ethan's gaze."I'm

  • BETRAYED BY MY HUSBAND, I FELL FOR HIS BILLIONAIRE BROTHER    CHAPTER 49: A Knock from the Past

    Lexi's POVThe courthouse steps were crowded with reporters.Camera flashes lit up the gray morning sky as police officers escorted a line of suspects through the front entrance.I tightened my grip on the coffee cup in my hand, trying to ignore the knot twisting inside my stomach.Ryan's arrest had dominated every news channel for the past twenty-four hours.To the rest of the world, justice had finally caught up with him.But something about it didn't feel right.My phone vibrated.Ethan"Don't come to the courthouse."I frowned.Too late.I was already standing across the street.I quickly typed a reply."Why?"The three dots appeared almost instantly before disappearing again.No answer.A black SUV pulled up to the curb.Two men stepped out.They weren't journalists.They weren't police officers either.Both wore expensive charcoal suits and identical silver lapel pins shaped like a falcon.One of them looked directly at me.Not through me.At me.He said something into the tiny

  • BETRAYED BY MY HUSBAND, I FELL FOR HIS BILLIONAIRE BROTHER    CHAPTER 48: The Woman at the Door

    Lexi's POVThe silence inside Ethan's penthouse was almost unsettling after he left.A few hours ago, I had been wrapped in his arms, convinced that no matter how cruel life had been, I had finally found my safe place.Now, I stood alone beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring at the city below.Cars moved like tiny streams of light.People hurried through their lives.Everything looked so...normal.Yet nothing about my life was normal anymore.Ryan had been arrested.The man I once believed would grow old with me was sitting in a police holding cell.I should have felt victorious.Instead...I just felt exhausted.A knock echoed through the apartment.I frowned.Ethan had only been gone for thirty minutes.Surely he couldn't be back already.I walked toward the door and checked the security monitor.No one.My brows knitted together.Another knock.Three slow taps.I unlocked the door cautiously and opened it just enough to peek outside.The hallway was empty."Hello?"Nothing.

    Ethan's lips trailed down my neck, sending shivers down my spine. I gasped, feeling a sense of wonder and admiration. His hands roamed over my body, touching and caressing me in all the right places. I felt a sense of pleasure and desire, my body responding to his touch. Ethan's eyes locked onto mine, and I saw a flash of passion and desire. "I want you, Lexi," he whispered, his breath hot against my skin. I nodded, feeling a sense of desire and passion. I knew that I wanted this, that I wanted to be with Ethan. Ethan smiled, his eyes sparkling with amusement. He leaned in, his lips brushing against mine. I felt a surge of excitement and pleasure as we kissed. Our lips moved in perfect sync, our bodies pressed together. I felt a sense of passion and desire, my body responding to Ethan's touch. As we kissed, Ethan's hands continued to roam over my body. He touched and caressed me, sending shivers down my spine. I gasped, feeling a sense of wonder and admiration. Ethan's touch wa
