“He had NO idea.”
“Golden broody boy just realized he won.”
“Marcus is all of us.”
“He looks like someone just told him Christmas came early.”
And the most viral comment:
“He waited years and didn’t even know she liked him back. Protect this man.”
Within minutes, hashtags shifted.
#SheLikedHimToo
#OscarKnew
#BrotherBetrayal
Public opinion pivoted hard.
Because now-
This wasn’t a man chasing his brother’s fiancée.
This was a man who stepped back for years-
Only to realize his brother stepped in knowing full well.
That changes everything. 1

I called Jason.
No answer.
Again.
Voicemail.
My chest tightened.
I called Marcus.
He answered immediately.
“Where is he?”
A pause.
“He’s on his way to his father’s house,” Marcus said carefully. “Oscar made bail.”
My stomach dropped.
“And?”
“He took his car keys when Oscar didn’t answer his calls.”
I closed my eyes briefly.
“Is he calm?”
Marcus hesitated.
“No.”
That was enough.
I didn’t wait for more.
I grabbed my purse and headed downstairs, telling Pamela I’d be back.
I had just stepped outside the Phoenix Asher building when I heard an engine slow behind me.
I turned.
A black car pulled into the parking lot.
Jason’s.
For a second I thought I was imagining it.
He parked.
Sat there for a moment.
Then stepped out.
He didn’t look enraged.
He didn’t look wild.
But I could see the storm that had passed through him.

I walked toward him immediately.
“I thought you were at your father’s house.”
His jaw flexed.
“I was on my way.”
The admission was quiet.
“What happened?”
He looked at me for a long second.
Then exhaled.
“I realized I cared more about you than I did about being angry at him.”
The words were steady.
Deliberate.
“I was ready to fight him,” he admitted. “But halfway there I asked myself what that would solve.”
He stepped closer.
“I wasn’t going to let my brother drag you into another spectacle.”
My heart thudded harder.
“You turned around?”
“Yes.”
He closed the distance completely now.
His hand sliding firmly around my waist.
Not possessive.
Anchoring.
“You are more important than my anger.”
The Phoenix Asher sign gleamed behind me.
Employees were filtering in and out.
A few phones were definitely angled our way.
Jason didn’t look away from me.
“You are loved,” he murmured against my ear.
Low.
Certain
“And my brother is an idiot.”
Despite everything, I laughed softly.
Then he kissed me.

Hard
Publicly.
In the parking lot of my company
Not for show.
Not for strategy.
But because he chose me over fury.
When he pulled back, his forehead rested briefly against mine.
“I won’t let anger decide anything that involves you,” he said.
This time- 1
I believed him completely.
Behind us, someone gasped quietly.
A camera shutter clicked.
But neither of us moved.
Because this wasn’t about Oscar.
It wasn’t about rivalry.
It wasn’t about proving anything.
It was about choice.
And today-
He chose me.
We left Phoenix Asher together.
He opened the car door for me without a word, and we drove in silence to the Asher estate. Not heavy silence. Just… processing.
When we arrived, the children were in the garden with Grandfather.
He took one look at us stepping out of the car-close, composed, unbothered-and shook his head slowly.
“Youth these days.”
Jason raised a brow. “Good afternoon to you too.”
Grandfather sighed dramatically.
“Did you know the marriage agreement between the Sun and Asher families was dissolved when you were in college?”
