Demon CEO's Hidden Love: Mr Grayson Stole Me From My Abusive Husband-Chapter 315: Blinded By Rage

Brooke returned from the cast meet and greet, and was surprised to see her husband was at home. She assumed he would be at work, considering they had that product launching in a month.

She smiled, "He must’ve made time for me." she thought, then slowly started to sneak up on him, an excited look on her face. That was until she heard who he was speaking to over the phone.

"There is no need to thank me, if I left Matthew to his own devices, he wouldn’t last a day." he said to who Brooke could only assume was Mallory.

Hannah had informed her of their engagement and the news did come as a shock to her. Wasn’t this woman in love with her husband? Why was she going after his younger brother?

Her smile dropped.

She dry coughed, letting Thane know of her presence. Calmly, he disconnected the call and turned to Brooke, he opened his arms, welcoming her for a hug. "I thought you wouldn’t be home for another hour, I would’ve gone and picked you up."

Hugging him, she replied, "I finished early, everyone on set was very professional, we had a table read and exchanged contact info."

Thane planted a kiss on her forehead, "And the male lead?"

She traced her gaze to his phone, "He’s still overseas, he was the only person not around." she pulled away from the hug, and turned to leave, "I’ll go upstairs and freshen up."

He nodded, "Oh, and since I came home early I made dinner."

Brooke’s ears stood, "You made dinner?"

"What? Is that not allowed?" he smiled, walking over to her.

She frowned, "You shouldn’t be exerting yourself like this, you have to be careful about your health."

Thane reached for her hand and gently pulled her in, hugging her from behind, he rested his chin on her shoulder, "Are you worried about me?"

"Of course I am! I don’t like you taking your life so recklessly. We’re at a good place, I want anything to jeopardize this." she told him, oblivious to the way her words made Thane’s teasing grin disappear instantly.

His tone dropped, "Don’t worry, I won’t do anything that will get in the way of our plans." he promised, then tightened his grip on their embrace, a serious glint in his eyes.

Brooke got out of the shower only to find her phone ringing, she picked it up from where it was charging, only to see it was Ethan calling her.

A disgusted look etched upon her face. She let the call ring a few more times, before she summoned enough courage to answer. "Hello." she said, her tone soft and honeyed.

"Brooke, why didn’t you answer my call on the first ring?" he demanded, his tone, deranged.

Brooke sighed, "I was taking a bath-"

"Take your phone with you next time! Don’t leave me in the dark!" he yelled, sending chills down her spine. She was nothing but grateful that there was so much distance between them.

Heaven knows what he would’ve done if they were within the same vicinity.’

Slicing through her thoughts, he said, "I’ve bought an apartment for you to live in, send me your location so I can pick you up."

Brooke’s countenance fell, "An apartment? You don’t have to do that-"

He cut her off, "I can’t let you stay in some hole, where those old bastards could have access to you whenever! You’ll live where I choose."

Brooke rolled her eyes, "Ethan, I appreciate your help so far, but I’m no longer your responsibility, we aren’t married anymore. What would Cassie think if she found out about this?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Ethan hissed, "You’re worried about a woman who didn’t hesitate to sleep with her own sister’s husband? Don’t be foolish, I don’t have any feelings for that woman. Once she gives birth, I’ll ditch her, our relationship, the engagement, it’s all for show." he revealed, in a bid to reassure her.

"If that’s the case, then let’s do this. Once she gives birth, only after then will I come back to you." she promised him.

"No." he refused.

"Do you know how restless I was trying to find you? No, I’m not going to let you go Brooke." he insisted.

Brooke was appalled with his every word, "I am sorry, but Cassie is still my sister, I can’t cheat on her fiancee. So," she sniffled, "Don’t contact this number again." she said, then ended the call.

Immediately, she blocked his number, "That should keep him at bay for a while." To her, Ethan was someone who was greedy, and she knew how much he valued his image.

Which was why he never went public with their marriage, after all she was his crippled little wife. Ethan would have her locked up at home and keep Cassie as a display thing if he was granted the chance to.

But now, with her unwilling, he would be cracking his head trying to find a way to get around his engagement, all so he could have Brooke, even if it was only temporary, he was that obsessed with the need to have control over her.

"For now, I should pour my all into this role, I’m sure if I keep pushing, Cassie is surely going to break and expose herself." she thought, as she made her way downstairs to dinner.

She arrived at the dining table, which was decorated with flowers, she smiled at the noise from the kitchen, Thane was probably fussing over the smallest thing.

She styled her hair up, rolled her sleeves, deciding to help him plate the dishes.

However, his phone vibrated on the table. She mindlessly picked it up to give it to him, only to see it was a text message from Mallory.

"What?" she narrowed her eyes at the message sent.

-"Thank you for your help earlier, your suggestion really helped me land that deal. If you ever need my help for anything, please don’t hesitate to call. I mean it."-

Why did Thane keep her number?

What was going on here?

And what suggestion was she talking about?

Brooke was so carried away, her anger consuming her that she unlocked Thane’s phone, tapped on Mallory’s number and blocked it...
