Betrayed And Claimed By My Ex-Husband's Stepbrother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Amelia POVMy hands are still shaky as Kayden drives us to our new house.Which is kind of ridiculous because we just moved to our first one two days ago, which practically got burnt.I can still see the box though, how he has asked them to deliver it carelessly like it was some kind of gift or present.I take a glance at him, his way is fixed on the road though I can see how tight his grip on the steering wheel is.His action has made me consider everything I knew about him for the last three years.Because this man, the one I met in London, is nothing like the man who saved me.The man who worked as a secretary to a publishing firm came back home at five every evening to spend time with his wife.This version here, looked like…Like a cold-hearted, revenge-seeking stranger.Immediately we get home I step out of the car. My legs almost crumpled like I was too weak just from the whole realization.“Hey be careful” he whispers as he wraps his arms around mine.I fling his hands off me

Daniel POVI sip my tea slowly, my legs resting on the stool in front of me. The newspaper in my hands.I am in my bedroom, and no one is with me. On the floor is my unconscious wife Ashley and on my bed is the box of Stefan's head which Kayden sent to me.I am reading the newspaper again. Amelia Blackwood is a slut.And the source of this whole gibberish is meant to be the woman who is lying beside me unconscious.And I know for a fact that she had no time to do that. In fact, until now she would have believed that I was on her side and that I had a little love for her.So who the hell wrote this news to destroy Amelia's reputation and drag whatever plan I had into the mudOne thing I hate more than anything is when I don't have a support system. I don't have a way or anything that would make me feel better about myself.My right-hand man who has been doing my dirty job is dead and he died betraying me. That is the only way I would explain him being found in the Kayden house.Maybe h

Amelia POVMy phone buzzes with more and more images. News headlines. “Amelia is a slut” so many other blogs and news stations had rewritten the news to a more awful one. Like accusing me of sleeping with Daniel and even seducing Kayden which is quite ironic because I remained friends with Kayden for one whole year even when he begged me to be with him.“Amy, I think you should calm down,” Kayden whispered. His eyes are staring directly at my phone.Only then do I realize that I had been squeezing the living life out of it.My phone rings, it's my secretary “Hello ma'am. What would we be doing? Someone liked the fact that you are alive. Some are even saying that you staged the whole fire and a lot more to get Daniel's attention. And now it's affecting the company”“How? How is it affecting the company?” I ask, my voice oddly calm for someone whose whole life is about to collapse.“Everyone is complaining. The shareholders are threatening to pull out. Even our most valued clients are

Amelia POV“Kayden is not what you think” I say standing up to walk towards him.I reach out to touch him but he takes a step back, glaring at me.“Is that what I think? You literally had your head buried in his fucking chest and it's not what I think? Or am I blind?” He asked in a trembling voiceI shake my head, tears in my eyes. The worst thing I would need right now is for Kayden to think that I am lying to him when I am not or even cheating on him.“No”“So what did I see? Why the hell would you let him close to you”“He was showing me something, Kayden. I swear on my life he was showing me footage”“Footage of what! What was inside this so-called footage that. made you bury your head on his chest ”I open my mouth and say something but my words fail me. Tears rolled down my face. “Do you still love him?” He asks quietly.“No.no! Over my dead freaking body would I love a soul like him. I hate him, Kayden. You know this more than anyone. It is not what you think I swear and…”“Ma

Katherine POV“What?” I ask turning to her. Mrs Graham gives me a small smile and then turns to Kayden.“The question was directed at him and not at you. He is the one who would do the job”My eyes darted from hers to Kayden’s own and I can tell that he is already considering the offer.I grab him by his arms making his attention fall on me “No. We are not bringing anyone for her”I turn to Mrs Grahams and smile “I know that you are hurting badly and you want to take it out on someone but not Kayden. Not my husband. If you are that desperate you would need to find someone else. Someone who can do that job for you. Till then goodbye”Before she can say another word I take Kayden's hand and drag him out of the room.The drive to the office was silent, just occasional glances from Kayden to me and then back to the room.He reached out to take my hands but I refused.Immediately, I arrived at the office, and Sandra, my secretary, rushed behind me, trying hard to keep up with my pace.“Ma,
