Betrayed And Claimed By My Ex-Husband's Brother

Chapter 13

Amelia POV

Coffee, bread, toast, and a mixture of these aromas fill my nostrils.

I turn to the other side of the bed, a smile already on my face.

I don't need to know who is beside me or who brought the food to my side

Of course it's.

This has been our routine: I wake up to an already prepared meal. Him doing everything to make me comfortable.

He is sitting on the side of the bed, a smile on his face as he waits for me.

“Good morning” I yawn out loud.

He places a kiss on my lips “Good morning love. How was your night”

“It was a long one”

“Really?” He asks, his time teasing he raises his eyebrow.

“Yeah, one stranger was keeping me all awake”

He laughs “You are calling your husband a stranger Amelia” he dares closer, placing another soft kiss on my lips.

“Well, the stranger would love to continue keeping you up all day. What do you think” he asked.

I smile in between the kiss “Well, the stranger would have his wish if he promised to be a good boy throughout the day”

Kayden laughs “I promise, Mama, I would be a nice, I would be a good boy”

I laugh and pull back. I can still feel his eyes on me, devouring me even in my bare state.

I look like a mess right now, messy hair, swollen eyes, not even lip gloss, and yet he is looking at me like I am his entire world.

He placed the tray on my lap. “ I made toast, some scrambled eggs, sliced avocados, and a little coffee”

“Thank you” I whisper.

“Anything for you babe”

……. ……. ……. ……. ……. ….

I am sitting on the chair, sipping from the water bottle in my hands.

My eyes are on Kayden as he lifts another barbell for the sixth time in a row, he is sweating profusely.

I am wondering how they do it. How do they actually lift such heavy things every single day? Lord knows I would have died if I were asked to lift just one time

I am so thankful he made me skinny. I love being skinny.

My phone beeps with a message. If from Ivan. I almost forgot I told him to look into Kayden when he was acting fishy.

I almost tell him not to bother. After all, I am happy and satisfied with him.

“I have something for you”

I type back immediately “What is that”

He replies immediately “Meet me at the location I am about to send to you at 3PM”

“Babe, who is that?” Kayden asks, still lifting.

“My boyfriend”

He pauses, dropping the weight down, and smiles “Funny Amelia. Very funny”

I roll my eyes “It's a message from the company. I was thinking of setting up some new rules and structures in it”

He shrugs “You can do anything you want to do Amelia. I’ve got you no one can harm you okay. I’ve got my eyes on you”

I smile back even though I am having this sinking feeling.

What did Ivan find?

Hope it's not something bad

…….. …….. ……. ……. ……. …

It's three o’clock in the evening, and I am sitting at the coffee shop he had sent me to.

I have a large magazine covering my face, dark glasses to shield my eyes, a black fur coat, and a black scarf to cover my hair.

If it should get out that I am here Kayden would know and I would start to explain a whole lot of things.

Someone taps my shoulder, I stiffen before I turn back to see Ivan standing beside me with a smile on his face “Hello Amy”

He gives me a shirt hug before he takes the seat opposite me.

“I am so sorry I am dressed up like this I have to .. to hide myself”

“I know. It's fine. I saw it on the news that your house caught fire, they saw one dead body and they are trying to find out if it is you, Kayden, or someone else”

“It's someone else. Not us”

He nods smiling “ I thought as much kayden would never allow such a thing to happen. Especially to him”

I watch him behind my glasses as he pulls out his flash drive and some papers and pictures.

He tosses the picture to me, it's a photo of a mother, a blond-haired girl, smiling, her face mashed up with cake icing who looks like she is seven, and then another boy.

“Kayden and his family. The ones who are the people that Daniel killed”

They looked so happy. Gosh Daniel must be so evil to destroy a whole family like that.

I toss the photo back to him “Okay, so you have any dirt on him?” I ask

Ivan leans back into his seat and shakes his head “No. He looks clean. Very clean. Although I am still trying to find out where he lives after your mother died, he does not have any bad history or some secret ex that would waltz back into your life”

I heaved a deep sigh of relief.

Kaysen is clean.

A little bit of guilt settled in my chest, not testing him fully. I know he would be so sad if he found out that I had gone to dig up his past without his knowledge.

But I just wanted to be safe.

I sat up clearing my throat “So what did you find out?” I ask.

He clears his throat. “You see, the is evil, Amelia. Fully evil. Everyone has a little evil in them. Daniel went on the TV after your fire accident and threw Ashley under the box and made her look like a mad wife”

“Why? I thought he loved her”

Ivan shakes his head smiling “ He wants something and I don't even know what he wants.

On the other hand, Ashley has a track record for hating you.

I don't know why but the beating in the prison was from Ashley and not from Daniel so I suspect the fire was from her”

“What? This b***h! What did I ever do to her? It's not like she asked me for Daniel as I refuse. Why would she send those people to beat and even kill me?” I ask

This does not make sense at all. This girl is crazy.

“You had her man. That is a reason but whatever you do please don't ever let your guard down for anyone. The only person you are safe with is Kayden. I will let you know if there is anything else to add. Okay?”

I nod, smiling at him, “Okay.” Seeing him made me remember my mother. She would have been here today with my dad and none of this would have happened.

I drove back to my house with a smile on my face.

A deep sense of relief that Kayden is free.

He is clean.

Immediately I get inside he is sitting in the sitting room, his eyes glued to a paper.

He turns to look at me “How did the meeting go with the secretary?” He asks, his eyes still glued to the paper.

“It went well. I just need to keep on making some rules and replace people who are Daniel's own or too loyal to him. That's all. What are you looking at ?” I ask.

He closed it immediately, a fake smile on his face “Nothing”

I etch an eyebrow “Noting? Since when did you start lying to me”

He shrugs “It's not that I can't handle. Why bother you when I can handle it myself?" He asks.

“I want to know” I snatch the paper away from his hands.

I stare at the headlines, my blood turning cold.

“AMELIA BLACKWOOD IS A SLUT. SHE STILL WANTS MY HUSBAND” Current wife is Danielle Fives who is Amelia’s ex-husband cries out”

My eyes read the message that follows “In a secret conversation shared with Ashley Forbes she shared her own side of the story.

How Amelia has removed her from the company she worked hard for and even stripped her of the company wealth and retained Daniel who is her ex not because he is the most efficient but because she is never satisfied.

She took him years ago and went for his brother and now she wants him again. Hence why she retained him and kicked her out.

She also discloses to us that Amelia faked her death just for one reason alone, to make sure she comes back and gets her revenge on her and her husband who is too blind to believe that”
