Meet My Brothers

“You’re the one who usually handles these things. How is Maya supposed to find it?”

Mia snorted. He simply cared too much about Maya, his first love, to let her wait on someone else. Was that

why he wanted her to head back there and wait on the two of them?

She wasn’t interested in going back there and seeing Maya on her bed!

“If you can’t find it, then wear something else!” Mia retorted before hanging up.

Her heart was beating quicker than usual. She never thought she would one day be cutting off Timothy’s call.

Doing it felt pretty good.

…

Once the call had ended, the maid asked Timothy hesitantly, “Would you like a different tie, Mr. Barrett?”

Timothy went over to the walk-in closet. True enough, he found it in the second drawer, even though he had

searched through it earlier. It was quite a mystery to him!

Last night, Timothy’s men had tailed the helicopter for a while before losing them. Timothy didn’t know where

Mia had been taken to.

It felt like he was losing control, and that feeling annoyed him.

Once Timothy got dressed, he went to the dining room. He was greeted by a table full of fancy breakfast spread. After taking a bite, he frowned and lowered his cutlery. “This tastes bad!”

Nervous, the butler, Kaleb, explained, “Before leaving, Ms. Lane specifically said to prepare this spread for you,

Mr. Barrett. She said these were some of your favorites.”

Kaleb did have some doubts about Maya’s claims. After all, Timothy had been eating Mia’s cooking for the last three years, and she tended to make simple local food for breakfast.

Also, Kaleb assumed Maya would be moving into the house and becoming the future Mrs. Barrett, but Timothy had someone take her home last night.

Timothy tossed his cutlery aside. “I don’t like this food.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

He glanced at the empty seat beside him. In the past, he was annoyed by the sight of Mia, but now, he

couldn’t get used to the lack of her presence.

What on earth was wrong with him?

Mia rubbed her rumbling stomach. She had just freshened up after getting out of bed. When she realized Patricia was still asleep, she crept out of the suite.

Dominic was sleeping in the room next door, and Mia didn’t know if he had woken up. She figured he was still

She found a diner nearby. Feeling pretty good, she took a photo and shared it on Twitter. She also added a caption. “It’s a new day. I’m going to keep walking forward without turning back!”

Soon, Laura liked Mia’s post and called her. “Mia, are you free to come over for dinner tonight? It’s been so

long since I last saw you.”

Mia recalled the divorce. Sooner or later, she would’ve to inform Laura about it, so she replied, “Okay,”

After finishing breakfast, Mia went back to the hotel with the takeout she bought.

Just then, a young man walked out of the elevator and spotted Mia. He took a photo of her from behind and

sent it off to Timothy at once. “Mr. Barrett, did you and your wife spend the night at the hotel?”

At the moment, Timothy was on the way to work. Due to his empty stomach, he was in a bad mood.

Checking his phone, he saw the message and photo he had received. To his shock, he found that Mia was staying at a hotel.

Was it indeed her new boyfriend who picked her up yesterday? Did he take her straight to a hotel?

Did this mean that Mia had already been seeing another man before the start of the divorce proceedings?

Timothy’s expression soured. He couldn’t bear to think that Mia had sex with another man last night. For some reason, that thought made him seethe with rage.

Something made him check Mia’s Twitter. He spotted the tweet she sent out a few minutes ago. “It’s a new day. I’m going to keep walking forward without turning back!”

Timothy sneered. Mia had indeed gotten herself a new man!

He looked at his assistant, Heath Lange, and said, “Cut off payments to the hospital.”

Startled, Heath asked, “Mr. Barrett, are you cutting off payments for Mrs. Barrett’s uncle’s medical bills to force

her to come back?”
