Married To My Exs Brother

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

Beginning

Selena Cortez

"I'm excited for Señorito's arrival!" Clara said, almost yelling. I smiled at her and continued to arrange the ingredients needed for Miss Sanya's cooking.

"I haven't seen him for a long time," she added, what about me? I haven't even seen him yet. I wanted to answer her but I didn't want to spoil her imagination of Señorito so I just let it go.

"You know what Selena, he's not just super good looking! He's also kind! Like he treats us like a family member!" She said excitedly as she started to slicing an onion, without looking what she’s slicing. Now, I am starting to get worried, she might cut her hand if she doesn’t focus on slicing the onions!

"Lena! Clara! Where are the ingredients I’m asking you guys to cut?! You girls should be focusing on your task! Were in a rush! Stop gossiping so your work won’t take longer!" Miss Sanya said gruffly. I sighed and did what she asked us to do.

Clara and I looked at each other as I whisper to her,

“Let's just focus on slicing everything first.” She nod as a response and….

"Here you go!" I said after a few minutes as I hand her the big plate of diced onions.

"Once we’re done with the other ingredients, I'll take it here again." I said to Miss Sanya and she nodded in response. After awhile again,

“Here you go Miss Sanya…" I put down two big plates again in front of her, full of sliced bell pepper and peeled garlic.

"Lena, remember, you have a lot to do at the ranch so don't gossip too much with Clara!" She reminded me before I could completely leave on where she is cooking.

"Yes, I know Miss…" I simple answered her, so the conversation will end and I can go back to Clara.

The thing is I’m not really working here in the kitchen, so some of the chores to here are not familiar. I actually work at the Rancho with the horses in the stable. It just so happens that today Celestine and Samantha are not here, because they have school and base on what I heard it’s their exam day.

And since there is not much to do at the ranch as of the moment, instead of my mother coming here to help prepare the meals, and I want her to rest at home with my father, I volunteer myself to help miss Sanya and Clara.

I also want to see Clara, cause she’s not only my workmate at the mansion, we’re from the same school and also classmates. We are both in Grade 10, but we hardly see each other here at the Saavedras' mansion, like what I had mentioned I am stationed at the ranch while Clara stays here in the kitchen, that’s why I am trying to grab this opportunity to catch up with her however Miss Sanya’s eye is with us. Boo! Party pooper!

Well anyway I understand why though, there's still a lot of work to do since the arrival of Señorito's is a big event. Señorito only visits here once in a blue moon and people working here really looks excited with his arrival.

"LENA!" I turned to the person who called me, his voice sounds familiar and when I saw him my eyes widen in surprise.

“Marco!” I shout back as I wave at him as he continues to walk inside the kitchen as well. Marco is one of my co-workers at the hacienda slash childhood friend slash my schoolmate as well but he is three years older than me.
