The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart (Brittany and Isaac) novel Chapter 968

From the cradle, Charles was spoon-fed a litany of expectations.

“You're a boy. You've got to hustle, take over the family business. Your mom can't have any more kids because of you, so you gotta be good, show gratitude, and be the perfect child.”

For over two decades, she complied with these expectations - until today, when her mother dropped the bombshell.

The Clintons had a son. She could revert to being a girl. She could finally leave the Clinton family. Heck, she was even forbidden from competing with a half-brother she'd never met!

Charles was a whirlwind of emotions.

...

Just before clocking out, Brittany received a call from Hugh. They made lunch plans, and after mulling it over, Brittany gave Isaac a heads-up.

Isaac didn't fancy the idea of Brittany meeting Hugh but didn't want to seem possessive, so he reluctantly agreed.

Brittany picked up some thoughtful gifts and headed to the restaurant, where Hugh was already waiting with a young, elegant woman by his side—radiant and absolutely stunning.

"Hey, Hugh."

"You made it." Hugh rose to his feet.

"Got something for you." Brittany handed over the gifts, earning praises from Hugh for her ever-present politeness.

"And who's this?"

"My fiancée," Hugh introduced with a smile. "Amber, meet Brittany, a friend from college."

"Ms. Dustin."

"Nice to meet you."

Brittany took a seat and ordered a drink. "So, when's the big day? You better send me an invite."

"Will do."

Hugh had reached out to Brittany for her help in designing an engagement ring.

Hugh was a looker but kept a low profile, mostly because he had a steady girlfriend since childhood.

Brittany assumed they were still an item, but time had other plans—a separation of eight years had changed everything.

"Hugh, you and Caitlin..."

"We split," Hugh spread his hands. "Long-distance."

Brittany sighed sympathetically.

Back at the studio, they discussed the design. Hugh had only one request- simple and understated, yet exquisite.

Brittany agreed without hesitation.

After signing the contract, Brittany personally saw Hugh out.

"Hugh, I'll have the draft ready in three days, I promise."
