Battle between brothers Chapter 1 DIVORCE

CHAPTER 1

I stood there in shock as my husband presented me divorce papers demanding that I sign them. My eyes filled with tears as I pleaded with him to reconsider, But Zayn's expression was cold, his eyes hard with determination.

"Get out. Lyra, You're no longer welcome here."

I softly placed my hand on my swollen belly, gesturing to our child that's growing inside me. "Zayn, please," I pleaded, my voice filled with emotion. "We've been together for four years. I'm carrying your child. How can you just throw me out like this?"

Zayn smirked, his lip curling in disgust. "The child you're carrying is a mistake, a mistake that's not even mine. A mistake that I'm constantly reminded of each time I look at you. And as for our marriage... it's been a sham from the very beginning. I've found someone else, someone who actually matters to me, so just sign the papers."

My eyes widened in shock, my face pale with hurt as the realization hit me. "Olivia?" ....... "It's Olivia right? You're leaving me and abandoning your family just for her?" I whispered, my voice trembling.

"First of all, I have no family and we both know I'm not the father of the parasite you're carrying, so stop with the act," he accused, his voice dripping with malice. "You've been unfaithful to me, Lyra. I've seen the evidence. I know all about your little affair with Adrian. And now you're trying to pass off his child as mine? You're disgusting.", he spat "Oh...Yes, I almost forgot about Olivia. She's the one I long for, the one I desire to be with, not you. I no longer want anything to do with you or the bastard... Child you're carrying."

"NO!" I protested, my voice shaking with emotion. "That's not true. I've been nothing but faithful to you since the very beginning, despite the fact that our marriage is nothing but a contract, a mere piece of paper in your eyes. I've only ever been loyal to you, I swear it."

"Can you stop trying to force things? Just like you said our marriage is nothing but a mere contact forged for our mutual benefit, call me crazy but I think you've benefited enough from this, meaning our contract has expired. So stop complicating things, sign the divorce papers and leave!"

"NO!. I won't sign it, I won't let you abandon me like this"......... "This is my home, too. And I won't let you just throw me out like trash."

Zayn's expression turned cold, his eyes glinting with anger. "Fine," he spat, his voice venomous. "If you won't leave, then I will. I'll leave, you and your precious child can rot in this mansion for all I care, but I'll make you sign those papers one way or another."

As he turned to leave, I rushed forward, gripping his arm tightly. "Zayn, please don't go," I pleaded, as my desperation overwhelmed me. "Let's talk about this. We'll find a way to work through this, just don't leave."

But Zayn was unforgiving. He violently pushed shoved me off him, his eyes blazing with anger. "Don't touch me with those disgusting hands of yours"... "You're nothing to me, Lyra. Nothing but a cheating, lying, manipulative wretch"

I stumbled backward, falling to the cold hard floor, my body wracked with sobs as Zayn stormed out of the mansion.

Days had passed and Zayn still hadn't returned to the mansion. I tried going out to find him myself but he ordered the guards not to let me out, forcing me into solitary confinement. All I could do was to wallow in my own self pity as I patiently waited, hoping Zayn would return home.

As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, my isolation became almost unbearable. Zayn had left the mansion, leaving me alone with my thoughts and the oppressive silence. I had lost count of the days, and my only companions were the cold, empty halls and the distant, detached staff.

But then, one day, I heard the sound of footsteps, echoing through the foyer. My heart skipped a beat as I realized that Zayn had finally returned. I felt a mix of emotions, anger, hurt, and a deep-seated longing for the man I once thought I knew.

As Zayn walked into the room, my eyes widened in shock. He was not alone. On his arm, smiling brightly, was Olivia. My mind froze as I stared at the woman who had been the source of the constant pain, suffering and humiliation I was forced to endure.

"How dare you!" I screamed, my anger consuming me. "How dare you bring her into my home! After abandoning me here for 3 months, you still have the audacity to show up with your mistress!"

Zayn's expression was calm, almost bored, as he gazed at me. "Mistress? That's rich coming from you" ......"It seems you've forgotten so I'll remind you. I've loved her unconditionally since we were kids, before I even knew of your existence. If anything, you're the mistress because you're the one who's trying to get between us and ruin our love."

My anger boiled over, causing me to lose control, my eyes blazed with fierce intensity as I lunged at Olivia, my hands clawed, ready to strike. But Zayn was too quick, intervening just in time to prevent me from harming his mistress.

With a cruel smile, Zayn pushed me hard to the floor, ignoring my pregnant state. I cried out in pain as I landed on my side, my hands instinctively cradling my belly.

As I struggled to get up, Zayn threw a file at me, the papers scattering across the floor. "Sign them," he growled, his eyes glinting with malice. "Sign the divorce papers, Lyra. It's over between us."

As I looked at the satisfied expression on Olivia's face, my eyes filled with angry tears. But before I could even get a word in, Zayn interrupted me, gesturing at the remaining files scattered on the floor.

"Look inside the file again, Lyra," he sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "There's something else in there. Something special."

My hands trembled as she opened the file again, my heart racing with fear. And then, I saw them. The pictures. The gruesome, horrific pictures of my parent's dead bodies.

My mother's body had been mutilated, her face unrecognizable, I could only identify her by the birthmark on her right arm that had been stained with her own blood. And my father's body was hanging from a rope, his eyes frozen in a permanent stare. My mind shattered, as I stumbled over my own words.

"No," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "No, no, no. How......how did she...did they?" I was at the edge of losing my sanity, trying to figure out what had happened to my parents, until the realization hit me "you...you killed them, didn't you?"

"It's only fair to have some fun as well" I muttered to myself, ready to leave my dignity behind as I cheerfully reached for the bulge in his pants, letting my fingers roam wild as I pulled out his already hardened d**k, teasing the tip with my tongue as I marvelled at his size. "Suck it and don't stop until I tell you to" he ordered whilst grabbing a firm hold of my hair, yanking my head backwards. "Stop" I muttered inaudibly, "you're gripping too hard". "What? Can't handle it a little rough?" He mocked, yanking me up by my hair, pinning me against the wall. "i have no intention of being gentle with you, so if you can't sit pretty and take it like a good girl, then you're welcome to leave, but making that decision might cost you your life, because I don't like it very much when women walk out on me, especially during intimacy" "so...what's it going to be?" I smirked lightly as I answered his question by shoving him to the bed. "Then it seems I have no choice but to please you tonight, you can use me however you see fit and I'll ensure to ride you like my life depends on it" I responded, my clothes slowly falling to the floor layer by layer as I got on top of him, smiling in satisfaction as I buckled his belt around his wrist, restraining him to the bed as I positioned myself, ready to take full control. Elisa darkhorse, betrothed to Damian Greyhound but is met in matrimony with him young uncle (Leonard Greyhound) instead. will Damian give way for their relationship to blossom? or will the relationship prove fatal as a toxic love triangle is formed?

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
