Audrey's POV

For a moment, I thought he was joking. I sat there, staring at him from across the table, waiting for the smirk to break into laughter.

It didn't. Instead, Logan calmly reached into his pocket and slid the car key across the table towards me.

“Do you remember where it's parked?” he asked, like this was the most normal conversation in the world.

My lips parted.

“I…what?” I stammered, completely thrown off.

“The parking lot,” he said, leaning back in his seat. He picked up his wine

  • Rejected Plus-Size Wife, Claimed by My Husband’s Brother   Chapter 105

    Logan's POVEvery instinct in my body screamed at me to force the door open. Instead, I held up a fist and everyone behind me stopped. Silence settled over the tunnel once again, as the faint voice came a second time.It was weak, broken, and impossible to make out. John's breathing grew heavier beside me."You heard it too," John whispered and I nodded once."It wasn't mechanical,” I muttered."No,” John replied."It was a person,” I added."I can force it,” the officer working on the keypad said, as he glanced over his shoulder."Too loud," I replied."We don't know what's waiting on the other side,” he muttered.He returned to the keypad, pulling a small electronic device from his vest.The tiny screen flickered to life as wires disappeared beneath the access panel."Give me three minutes,” the officer said.I looked back down the tunnel and there was nothing. There were no footsteps, there was no movement. Everywhere was just too quiet.It was almost as if whoever had built this

    Logan's POV The order rippled across every radio channel."Charlie Team, maintain visual, no contact, no confrontation,” I ordered."Understood," came the immediate reply."If the man with the backpack is only carrying equipment, then he's expendable,” I said, turning to John."You think he's a courier,” John said, as he frowned."I think he's the lowest person in the chain,” I replied."And the higher-ups?" John asked."They won't expose themselves unless they believe the route is secure,” I muttered."The jammer just went offline,” Kimmie said, looking up from her laptop.Every head snapped toward her immediately."What?" I muttered and she refreshed the screen."The interference stopped six seconds ago,” she said and I stared at the monitor."They're moving,” I muttered."Or they've finished what they came to do," John said.Neither possibility was encouraging. The technician monitoring the ground sensors spoke again."Movement,” the technician said."Where?" I asked."The western

  • Rejected Plus-Size Wife, Claimed by My Husband’s Brother   Chapter 103

    Logan's POVBy noon, every member of the surveillance team was in position.The abandoned psychiatric hospital looked exactly like the photographs had suggested, forgotten by the world.Nature had reclaimed most of it, vines climbed cracked brick walls, broken windows stared back like empty eyes.The iron gates had collapsed years ago, leaving only rusted hinges swaying in the breeze.From a distance, it looked lifeless. That was precisely what bothered me.Places that were truly abandoned didn't consume fuel every night. They didn't receive armored vehicles and they certainly didn't attract Victor Hale."Status,” I said as I lowered the binoculars.The command crackled through my earpiece."Team Alpha in position.""Bravo in position.""Charlie covering the eastern access road."I looked toward the tree line. John stood a few feet away, studying the property through his own binoculars.Neither of us had spoken much during the drive. There wasn't much left to say.The truth was somewh

    Logan's POVSleep had become a luxury.Not because I couldn't close my eyes, but because every time I did, another piece of the puzzle shifted.Victor Hale wasn't running anymore, he was retreating. There was a difference.A man who ran wanted to survive, a man who retreated already knew where he was going. That made him far more dangerous.The conference room at Lowill Group headquarters was quiet when I walked in just after six in the morning.John was already there, standing beside the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking downtown Los Angeles. Without turning around, he spoke."Did Audrey sleep?" John asked and I nodded."Eventually,” I said."And you?" he asked and I smiled faintly."I watched her,” I replied.He turned to face me, studying me for a long moment."You love her,” he said.It wasn't a question. Months ago, I would have denied it. The contract, the revenge, that had been the plan.Now… There wasn't a contract in the world strong enough to explain what Audrey had becom

    Matteo's POVPeople always assumed power came from money. They were wrong, money bought influence.Power came from information; information ruined reputations; information started wars; information buried men long before they reached a grave.I stared at the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows of my office, a glass of whiskey untouched in my hand.Los Angeles glittered beneath the night sky. Ordinarily, I enjoyed this view, but tonight, it looked like a battlefield.My phone buzzed and there was one message. “The Hargroves searched Margaret Doyle's apartment.”That was too late. I just deleted the message immediately. Someone else had already cleaned the apartment before the Hargroves arrived.That wasn't my work, it wasn't Victor's either, which meant someone else was still protecting the truth.That thought unsettled me. I hated unknown players.A knock sounded at my office door."Come in,” I said and Grant, my head of corporate security, stepped inside."They're moving faster

    Audrey's POVThe photograph lay on the conference table like a live grenade.Matteo and Victor Halenstanding less than three feet apart.Not by accident, not in passing.They were obviously talking. Logan was the first to break the silence."When was this taken?" Logan asked.Kimmie slid another document across the polished table."Eight days ago,” Kimmie replied and John's expression darkened."Location?" John asked."A private marina in Long Beach,” she replied and I frowned."A marina?" I asked and Kimmie nodded."The meeting lasted eleven minutes,” Kimmie said.Only eleven. Eleven minutes had somehow connected my past and present in ways I never imagined."This one,” Logan said, as he picked up another photograph."Victor arrived first,” Kimmie said, as she leaned closer."And Matteo?" Logan asked."Came six minutes later,” she replied and John folded his arms."They are working on something” John muttered.No one disagreed. The evidence spoke for itself, a meeting like that di

    Logan's POV The moment I saw Matteo across the restaurant, every trace of peace left my body.Disgust settled heavily in my chest while I watched his eyes move over Audrey. He looked stunned, possessive, and angry.Like he could not believe the woman standing in front of him was the same Audrey he

  • Rejected Plus-Size Wife, Claimed by My Husband’s Brother   Chapter 29

    Audrey's POV I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection a second longer than necessary. Today was the day, the final hearing. After everything, the waiting period, the humiliation, the chaos, this was where it ended. Or at least, where it was supposed to. My fingers smoothed over t

  • Rejected Plus-Size Wife, Claimed by My Husband’s Brother   Chapter 28

    Audrey's POV As we stepped out of the car and started walking towards the house, Logan's hand brushed lightly against my back, guiding me forward. “From now on, any text Matteo sends you, you show me,” he said casually. “Every single one?” I asked as I glanced at him. “Yes,” he said. His tone

  • Rejected Plus-Size Wife, Claimed by My Husband’s Brother   Chapter 26

    Audrey's POV The moment I saw him, everything inside of me stilled and then exploded all at once.“Logan!” I screamed, my voice out brighter than I expected. It was breathless, almost trembling with something I didn't even try to hide.My head turned and I could feel people looking at me, curious,
