Drugged, Seduced, And Married To His Brother Novel Cover

Drugged, Seduced, And Married To His Brother

A spiked martini at her second-anniversary party led Amelia to stumble into a dark VIP suite, where she unexpectedly lost her virginity to a stranger. Returning home, the morning light revealed her husband, Kyler, reeking of another woman's perfume, with red lipstick on his collar and a fresh scratch below his ear. The suffocating guilt of her own mistake instantly vanished, replaced by a cold, sharp block of ice. Kyler, instead of apologizing, mocked her and threatened to cut off her ailing mother's nursing home funding if she didn't play the loving wife. His two years of coldness and refusal to touch her, claiming stress, were exposed as a pathetic, disgusting lie. Amelia, refusing to be a victim, filed for divorce and began a digital hunt for the IP address that had wiped the club's security servers. Amidst this escalating fight, she encountered Kyler's formidable half-brother, Jonas Brown, her old academic rival. The familiar scent of crisp cedar and dark tobacco, combined with a fresh scratch on his hand, sparked a terrifying, impossible suspicion. Then, trapped in his car, a phone call confirmed her custom Cartier ring was missing from the very penthouse suite where she'd spent that fateful night. The horrifying truth slammed into her: Jonas was the stranger. Without a word, she Venmoed him $5,000.00 with the note: "Service fee and hush money." This was war.

Chapter 7

Kassandra stopped right in front of Joseph.

She reached out with her red-painted nails and slowly adjusted his bowtie, a blatant display of ownership.

"Joseph," she purred, her voice loud enough for the investors to hear.

Joseph stood completely frozen, too terrified of the board members watching to push her away.

Kassandra then turned her head, looking Gemma up and down with a pitying smirk.

"Gemma, you look so tired today," Kassandra said sweetly.

Gemma didn't even blink. She slowly took a sip of her champagne, refusing to give the woman a single word of acknowledgment.

Around them, the older women hid their mouths behind their hands, whispering about Gemma's pathetic lack of a spine.

Up on the second-floor balcony, Jakob stood in the shadows. He swirled the amber liquid in his whiskey glass, his eyes locked on Gemma's rigid posture. A dark scowl pulled at his lips.

Down below, Gemma felt physically sick. She placed her half-full glass onto a passing waiter's tray with a sharp clink.

Ignoring Joseph's panicked glare, she turned on her heel and walked away, heading straight for the quiet, narrow hallway near the coat check.

Once she was out of sight, she pulled her phone from her clutch. She needed to call the club again. She had to find that ring.

She dialed the number, but the line was busy.

Frustrated, she shoved the phone back into her bag.

When she looked up, a massive figure blocked the hallway.

Jakob stood there, the ice in his glass clinking softly.

"What a brilliant display of suffering in silence," Jakob mocked, his voice echoing in the narrow space. He took a step closer. "You allow yourself to be so easily diminished. You presented yourself as little more than an empty vessel out there."

Heat rushed to Gemma's face. "It's called keeping my dignity, Jakob. Not all of us like to scream like lunatics in public."

Jakob's eyes darkened. He leaned against the opposite wall, the narrow hallway suddenly feeling claustrophobic. His presence was an immovable object, a psychological cage.

He lowered his head, his gaze intense. A flicker of something unreadable-recognition? A predator's sudden, chilling satisfaction?-crossed his face before being instantly replaced by his usual cold mask.

Before he could push further, the sharp clack of stiletto heels echoed down the hall.

Kassandra marched around the corner. Seeing them standing so close, her face twisted in ugly jealousy.

Jakob let out a disgusted sigh. He pushed off the wall, didn't even glance at Kassandra, and walked away.

Kassandra stopped in front of Gemma, crossing her arms.

"Trying to seduce his brother now?" Kassandra sneered. "How pathetic."

Gemma calmly smoothed out the wrinkles in her dress.

"Joseph promised me," Kassandra bragged, stepping closer. "He's kicking you out of the penthouse by this weekend. And Arthur already knows about my baby boy."

Gemma looked at Kassandra's stomach.

Instead of crying, Gemma smiled. It was a terrifying, empty smile.

She leaned in close to Kassandra's ear.

"Then you better pray," Gemma whispered, her voice like crushed glass, "that Joseph's finances survive long enough for this baby to be born into wealth. Because I have the recording of you admitting to a malicious plot, and I assure you, his little empire is far more fragile than you think."

Kassandra gasped, stumbling backward, genuine fear flashing in her eyes at the pure darkness in Gemma's tone.

Jilted By Nephew, Claimed By King Novel Cover
7.6
I was kneeling on the cold concrete of an abandoned warehouse, staring at a ticking timer while a masked man held a knife to my throat. My fiancé's nephew, Preston, finally burst through the door, but he wasn't alone. He was clutching my stepsister, Felicia, both of them looking frantic. The kidnapper gave Preston a brutal choice: the bomb was rigged to the door, and he could only take one woman with him. The other would stay behind to burn. Without a single second of hesitation, Preston grabbed Felicia's hand and turned his back on me. "I'm sorry, Annelise," he said, his voice flat and devoid of any real regret. He slammed the heavy iron door shut, leaving me to scream in the darkness as the flames began to roar. He didn't just leave me to die; he did it to protect his inheritance, treating me like a piece of trash that was finally being cleared from his path. Later, in the hospital, he didn't even offer an apology. Instead, he raised his hand to strike me, threatening to finish what the fire started if I dared to speak a word about his cowardice. His stepsister laughed, trying to pour scalding coffee on my face while calling me a pathetic loser who should have stayed in the warehouse. I sat there, cowering and shaking like a broken girl, letting them believe they had won. I watched their cruelty with wide, watery eyes, wondering how they could be so blind to the monster they were provoking. What Preston didn't know was that the entire kidnapping was a performance I had choreographed myself, and every second of his betrayal was recorded in 4K. Now, I've successfully moved into the manor of the real king-his uncle, Francesco Lancaster. He thinks he's rescued a wounded bird, but he's actually invited a world-class predator into his home. The game is no longer about survival; it's about total destruction.
