While My Husband Cheated I Married His Powerful Brother novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Chapter 111 The Wrong Sister

The car pulled up to the Etland Building.

Caspian stared out the window at the glass tower rising above him. His jaw was tight. His hands were clenched on his knees.

He did not want to be here.

Yesterday, he had been humiliated here. Chased away by security. Mocked by Xavier Lala and also dismissed by Veyra.

He had vowed never to return.

But business was business. And Professor Sterling had insisted.

"Come," the old man had said. "I’ll introduce you to someone who can help you. Someone who knows everyone in this city."

Caspian had agreed. He had no choice.

Xiomara sat beside him. She was wearing a fitted black dress. Her hair was perfectly styled. Her makeup was flawless.

She looked like she belonged.

Caspian did not.

He stepped out of the car. The doorman greeted him. Caspian ignored him.

Professor Sterling was waiting in the lobby. He wore a tweed jacket and a warm smile.

"Caspian! Xiomara! So glad you could make it."

Caspian forced a smile. "Thank you for inviting us, Professor."

Xiomara stepped forward. She kissed Sterling on both cheeks. "Professor. It’s so good to see you."

Sterling beamed. "You look lovely, Xiomara. As always."

They rode the elevator to the 101st floor.

The doors opened. The restaurant was breathtaking. Crystal chandeliers. Marble floors. A pianist playing softly in the corner.

Xiomara’s eyes widened. She had been here before, but the view never failed to impress.

Sterling led them toward a private dining room. He paused at the door.

"Xiomara," he said quietly. "I need to warn you about something."

Xiomara’s brow furrowed. "What?"

"The man we’re meeting. Wesley Wynn. He owns this restaurant."

"I know."

"He’s charming. Polished. But don’t let that fool you." Sterling’s voice dropped. "He’s ruthless. He’s a businessman first and a person second. Stay on his good side. Don’t cross him."

Xiomara nodded slowly. "I understand."

Sterling smiled. "Good. Now let’s go inside."

The private dining room was warm. Intimate.

Wesley Wynn was already seated at the table. He wore a charcoal suit. His hair was perfect. His smile was pleasant.

He stood when they entered.

"Professor Sterling. So good to see you." He shook Sterling’s hand. Then his eyes moved to Xiomara.

His smile flickered. Just a fraction.

"Xiomara," he said. "What a surprise."

Xiomara blinked. "You know me?"

"I know of you. You’re Veyra’s half-sister."

Her face went rigid. Her composure cracked.

"Veyra," she repeated. The name tasted bitter.

"Yes." Wesley’s voice was smooth. "She’s a fascinating woman. I’ve been getting to know her recently."

Xiomara’s jaw tightened. She forced a smile.

"That’s... nice," she said.

Wesley turned to Caspian. "And you must be Caspian Thorne."

Caspian extended his hand. "Yes."

Wesley shook it. His grip was firm. Brief.
