Three Years in My Fiancé's Brother's Bed novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14

At midnight, the private room reeked of liquor. Cole and Carter kept throwing back shots, and empty bottles lined the table like casualties.

The same guys who used to help them scheme sat in a loose circle, but the room that was always lively

now felt dead.

“Cole, knock it off,” Zach Morgan said as he yanked the glass from Cole’s hand, then reached for Carter’s. ”

What’s the point? This won’t fix anything.”

“Yeah,” another friend added. “What are you really drinking for? The right of succession? Valerie? Or

Maya? Say it out loud and let us talk you off the ledge.”

When they heard Maya’s name, the brothers finally reacted.

“Maya…” Cole muttered. He reached for another glass, let the liquor swirl, then threw it down his throat.

Before Valerie returned, he had told himself all he felt for Maya was part of the act. He had sworn he

didn’t have any real feelings.

Even after Carter and Maya slept together, he refused to admit the jealousy knotting inside him.

Now that Valerie’s facade was broken, guilt over Maya came flooding in, accompanied by a sharp anger

at Carter.

If Carter hadn’t touched Maya, perhaps she might still forgive him.

Cole slammed the glass down, grabbed Carter by the collar, and drove a fist into his face. “You idiot! Who told you to touch her? Who said you could sleep with her? She’s mine!”

The liquor gave his jealousy a voice he couldn’t smother.

Did he love Maya? He had no answer.

He only knew that once the truth came out, Maya looked more perfect and worthy than he had ever let

himself admit.

He hated Carter for touching her. He wanted to find her and apologize to her.

As the memories of the last three years came surging back, his chest ached all the more.

He hit Carter again and again, forgetting that this was his brother.

Carter didn’t hold back, either. He threw a hard punch, his eyes burning with fury.

“She’s yours? You told me you only loved Valerie! You handed Maya to me! For three years, she was with

me! Who do you think you are?

“She wouldn’t be gone if you hadn’t hurt her! Everything started with you! You were the one lying to her!

Chapter 14

You’re the one she hates the most!”

Carter was beyond reason. Every time he recalled Maya’s disappointed face as she walked out of the bathroom that night, his ribs felt bound tight.
