Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Her Whereabouts On The Wedding Day

Natalie looked at him, amused. "It seems like the word shame doesn’t exist in your dictionary."

He glanced back at her, his expression calm. "Anything useless that could stop me from getting what I want has no place in my life."

She looked away, her gaze shifting to the elevator door. "Your mind is definitely built differently. God knows what goes on inside it."

He stared ahead, completely indifferent. "You’d better not know."

"You’re making me curious now."

"Curiosity kills the cat—you must have heard that saying." His voice was low and deep, his gaze meeting hers through the reflection in the elevator door. "And this particular cat won’t be able to handle the ways I’d plan to kill her... over and over again."

Natalie’s heart skipped a beat. There was something unnervingly dangerous in the way he said it. She wasn’t afraid of death, having faced numerous threats and dangers in Xyros, but hearing it from him felt entirely different.

Did he truly meant to kill or was implying something else? Her womanly instincts told her it was the later one.

Ding! Dong!

The elevator arrived at their floor, pulling Natalie back to reality. Stepping out, they both stood in front of the door as Natalie began entering the password into the lock. She deliberately spoke the digits aloud so Justin could hear. Once the door clicked open, she glanced at him. "Now you know the password."

"It’s the same one," he replied casually.

Her eyes widened slightly. "You... knew the password?"

He simply raised an eyebrow, his expression nonchalant.

Natalie sighed, shaking her head. "My mistake for underestimating you," she muttered as she stepped inside. "Since when did you know it? And why would you bother ringing the bell if you already had it?"

He would never admit that it was out of jealousy—jealousy that even Mia and others knew the password. He’d hacked into the system and learned it himself, just to know what everyone else did.

"I like it when you open the door for me," he replied smoothly, following her inside.

"You’ve really started taking your role as Aiden quite seriously, Mr. Harper," Natalie commented as she removed her sandals and changed into a pair of house slippers.

Justin began to take off his shoes as well. "I haven’t even started yet. But you should be truly worried if I did."

I’m just trying to make small talk and lighten the atmosphere while being alone with him at home, but he always finds a way to make it sound so intimidating.

She sighing inwardly and walked to the sink to wash her hands, as she spoke. "You said in the message you wanted to talk about something important?"

Justin slipped into a pair of house slippers and followed her to the sink. Natalie started washing her hands when she felt him step close behind her. His hands on her either side, as of trapping her between them, leaning forward a little to have his hands over the washbasin as well.

She glanced at him through the mirror, raising an eyebrow.

I’ll wait until the day she’s ready to tell me everything on her own. I have things I’m hiding too... things I’ll have to tell her one day.
