The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 751

"I am not going anywhere with you. I don't even know who or what you really are. Why would I ever leave with you?" My tone was icy, making no effort to hide my absolute disgust and hatred for him.

"That's enough out of you, bitch! My little brother has been more than decent to you. Originally, my dad ordered him to get close to you, investigate you, and keep an eye on you. This time, my dad gave the direct order to take you out, but this idiot brother of mine couldn't bear to do it. He risked getting punished just to spare your miserable life!" Dominic, the stout man, had apparently seen enough. He delivered a brutal kick to my side.

He glared at me with his small, beady eyes. "Don't think you're the only one giving up your old life to go abroad. My brother is leaving everything behind too! You should be on your knees thanking him for being such a lovesick fool!"

"Is your dad Theodore Thorne?" I didn't make a sound as I took the kick, simply snapping my head up to glare at the stout man with a sudden question.

"No shit, of course he is. That's my flesh-and-blood father!" the stout man blurted out.

I locked my eyes back onto Caspian's slightly pale face and pressed on. "You just called him Dominic, which means you two share a dad? Are you Theodore Thorne's son too?"

Caspian clearly hadn't expected me to connect the dots so quickly. He hesitated. "I..."

"Yeah, you guessed right. He's my dad's son too. We don't share a mother, but we both have Thorne blood in our veins. We're all Thornes," Dominic eagerly chimed in.

I clenched my fingers into fists, a suffocating wave of despair washing over me.

It was exactly as I had suspected.

I dropped my head, feeling as though every ounce of strength had been drained from my body. A bitter smile crept onto my lips.
