Chapter 0369

That wasn’t my sector. Rowan is the one in charge of merging and acquiring new businesses. He was fucking good at that, but right now he’s not in a position to do anything for that matter.

At only twenty-two, we were on top of our game. I’m not fucking bragging, but everyone in our industry knew of the Wood twins. Everything was going perfectly until Ava ruined everything. That bitch is the reason why my brother was spiraling.

“| know that, but it’s not the reason why I’m here,” he tells me coolly.

| had to applaud him. Had he taken the business earlier, maybe he’d have saved their company, because could see behind his green. eyes. Andrew was as sharp as he was cunning.

“Then what do you want?”

| knew what he was doing. He was keeping me in suspense. Something | don’t really appreciate. “It's simple, really,” he pauses, and | feel like shaking him. “I want you to marry my sister.” “You're kidding me, right?” | laugh humorlessly.

Who in their right mind would want to marry Harper Beckett? | remember the last time | saw, it was during a luncheon organized by a charity organization we usually donate to. She was sixteen, | think.

| like my women beautiful, sexy, and radiant. Harper Beckett wasn’t any of that. Plus, she was clumsy and socially awkward. She also didn’t know how to dress. That just goes to show that money doesn’t always guarantee style or class.

| know | sound like a bastard, but that is how | feel. His sister isn’t someone | would look at twice, let alone marry. “lm not”

I chuckle. “I’m not going to marry your sister. I’d rather be castrated in the fiery pits of hell than marry her.”

He takes offense to that. | see it in his eyes, but he quickly hides it and replaces it with a detached look

When a smile takes over his lips, a shiver runs down my spine.

“Well, | guess | have to release what | have to the media.” His eyes turn cold as something else takes over. “I’m sure the paparazzi will have a field day tearing your brother's character apart.”

| freeze at that. My spine straightening into a fucking rod. “You see, | know what happened between your brother and Ava Sharp.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

| also know that she’s pregnant with his baby and that Rowan has spiraled so far that he’s now doing drugs. Imagine the kind of damage that would cause if this information landed in the wrong person’s hands,” he pauses before continuing.

“| can twist the story, Gabriel; say that Rowan got an underage girl drunk and then slept with her, cheating on his girlfriend in the process. We can also add in that he was playing sisters against each other, fucking both of them at the same time. Can we also

talk about the fact that he got a high school girl pregnant? Or let’s imagine the damage his doing drugs and being a drunkard will cause on the image of this company.”

“What do you want?” My voice is gruff.

“| already told you; marry Harper, and you won't have to worry about me leaking what | have to the media. There are so many ways of twisting the truth and destroying your brother in the process.”

There was nothing to think about. | would do anything for Rowan. | would go to hell and back to protect him. He is my other half, and there is nothing | wouldn’t do for him.

“Do we have a deal?” he asks after a while. I stare at him with contempt. | knew the fucker was sharp, but this is beyond anything | could’ve ever imagined.

| would marry his sister, and no one needs to know. At the same time, I'd help Rowan get better. This time, I'll give it my all to get him to where he was before.

| had no choice. | hated this bastard, and | already hate his sister, but | love my brother more.

“Yes,” | growled. “We have a deal.”
