Foster Brother Loses True Love

After my foster brother, Wren, stumbled drunkenly into my bed, he missed a crucial call from his first love, Daniella. That night, she was killed in a car accident. When Wren heard the news, he murmured about fate’s cruelty. Later, I found out I was pregnant, and my parents naturally suggested Wren and I marry. For all those years, I believed he genuinely cared for me. But on our wedding night, he drugged my entire family and set our estate ablaze. Amid the dancing flames, he glared at us with hatred. "You took my beloved Daniella from me, and now you're after my family's wealth," he snarled. "Let's all go down together!" Suddenly, reality snapped back as I lay on the floor, recalling Wren's abrupt departure. The sharp ache in my arm reminded me this was a second chance at life.

The next day, my mother called me in tears, saying my foster brother had upset my dad so much that he had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. I was so shocked that my phone slipped from my hand and clattered to the floor as I dashed out the door to the hospital.

Fortunately, Dad received timely medical attention and was out of danger. As soon as I entered the hospital room, I saw my father angrily grabbing something beside him and hurling it at my foster brother.

"Get out! If you want to marry this woman, then leave this house."

"Dad, Wren and I truly love each other. I know you have reservations about me, but please give me a chance; I will prove myself," Daniella Kelly pleaded with an earnest look.

Wren held her protectively, his eyes cold and fixed on my dad. "I am going to marry her, no matter what," he declared, his tone defiant. "Old man, you're getting on in years. Stop trying to control us, or you might find yourself without anyone to care for you in the future."

Dad's face turned pale with anger, and he yelled, "You're ungrateful! Get out!"

My mother, equally furious, picked up a broom, ready to chase the two out of the house. I caught Wren's eyes as he turned to leave, my face impassive.

"Dad has taken care of you for over twenty years; how could you do this to him?" I asked.

"Taken care of me for over twenty years? Are you sure it wasn't because there was something in it for him?" Wren replied cryptically before leaving.

His words left me puzzled; what did he mean? But there was no time to ponder as I rushed to comfort my dad by his bedside.

"Dad, Wren is an adult now. If he has feelings for Daniella, let's just let him make his own choices," I suggested.

"Let's not concern ourselves with him," I added.

Mom was nearby, shedding tears. "We worked so hard to raise him, and he turned out to be so ungrateful," she lamented.

Dad heaved a sigh. "Let him go; I've done my duty by raising him."

Seeing their reluctant acceptance of Wren's decision to marry Daniella came as a relief. This time, without obstacles, my parents shouldn't have to worry, right?

When I returned home, the moment I stepped inside, someone pushed me against the wall, startling me. I looked up to see Wren glaring down at me, his expression thunderous.

Before I could explain that my parents had agreed to his marriage with Daniella, he suddenly flung a piece of clothing at my face, his voice seething with anger. "Laylani, are you really this shameless? Stuffing lingerie into my clothes?"

"I told you I don't have feelings for you anymore," he sneered. "Do you have to resort to such cheap tricks to get my attention?"

"Falling for your own brother—don't you find that twisted?"

His words cut deeply, and tears spilled from my eyes. Clenching the lingerie in my fist, I shouted back, "I didn't do it; it was a mistake by the housekeeper!"

Wren's gaze grew even colder. "Do you think I'd believe that? Don't show your face around me again; you disgust me!"

"Believe what you want; it's true, I've stopped liking you," I retorted, meeting his glare with a steely one of my own before turning and leaving the house.

The morning light glinted off the glass facade of the Price Enterprises building as I strode across the marble lobby in my charcoal Armani suit. The click of my heels echoed confidently with each step, a rhythm I'd perfected over years of being the company's invisible backbone. Today was different. Today was bonus day—the one time each year when results couldn't be hidden behind corporate politics or flashy presentations. I smoothed my hands over the tailored suit, mentally rehearsing the brief acceptance speech I'd prepared for the "Top Sales Champion" award. For the fifth consecutive year, I'd single-handedly secured over sixty percent of the company's revenue. Not that anyone besides the accounting department and Ethan knew this. My husband had always insisted I maintain a low profile, claiming it was strategic for negotiations if clients underestimated us. "Good morning, Ms. Jenkins," the receptionist called, her smile genuine but tinged with something I couldn't quite place.

Rejecting the Alpha Who Betrayed Me

Being taken home from the local police station by Alpha Jordan Brown, I announced my decision to sever our mate bond. "Judith, you can’t keep acting on a whim," he said, his alpha tone cutting through the silence. I watched Jordan as he focused on driving, his broad shoulders tense, his grip firm on the steering wheel. Suddenly, I laughed, the sound bitter and hollow. "I’ve made up my mind." "Alpha Jordan," I turned my head, my gaze steady despite the storm inside me, "It’s time we set each other free." The Bentley came to a halt by the roadside, and the tension in the car thickened, his alpha aura pressing against me like a weight. "Why?" His voice was cold, detached, but I could feel the faint tremor beneath it. "Give me a reason. What’s this about now?" Looking at him, it all seemed pointless. Lowering the car window, I pointed to the side mirror at the car that had been discreetly following us. "I bet you, within ten seconds," I said, my voice calm but edged with bitterness, "someone will be here for you." I began counting down with certainty.
