My brother-in-law My husband
Chapter 12

Marco expected a reaction from his sister-in-law. After all, she had always been the simple type who still believed in traditional love and loyalty after marriage.

That's also why her marriage to her brother who always cheated failed, right?

"Maybe this can convince you" Marco said. His left hand suddenly wrapped around Catherine's shoulder, locking her in place. While his right hand slowly crawled from the collarbone to his neck.

Marco's large, hot hands wrapped around his fragile neck, ensuring that Catherine would not be able to escape as she whispered something in his ears,

"I want you to work under me, widen your thighs and greet me as your Boss. Both in the office and in bed."

Catherine felt a jolt inside her body as Marco gently licked her earlobe. He struggled, trying to escape from the clutches of this evil bastard.

But Marco's hands wrapped around his shoulders and neck tightly. The more he thrashed, the tighter, strangling him a little as Marco continued to speak;

"I'm not done yet" whispered Marco with a grin in his voice.

"M—Marco, you're crazy! I'm still your sister-in-law!" Catherine shouted as she tried to break away once more. "—Akh!"

Catherine stopped struggling as Marco gently pressed her thumb against her throat, making it hard to breathe.

"Any deal with me is high risk but has high returns. I can give you anything you want, but everything comes at a price. Think about it, Sister-in-law."

Marco finally released his grip on Catherine's neck and retreated a few steps as Catherine coughed several times.

He turned around and saw Marco shrug his shoulders and raise his eyebrows lightly as if he had not just said something truly disgusting to his own brother-in-law!

Even though she was in the process of divorce, she was still her family legally!

It was also very surprising for Catherine, who was a conservative woman. She only fell in love once and married the same man who took her virginity.

He knows that Marco is famous in gossip news and social media as a playboy who likes to break women's hearts just for fun.

She thought it was all overkill, but she... she wanted to touch it?!

Catherine got up from the chair and took a few steps back to distance herself from Marco. The devil continued to grin while crossing his hands. He seems to see this as a game, a joke, maybe.

"You... don't you realize what you just said? Marco, we—"

"We're brothers, yeah. Not long," Marco said. "You may soon divorce my brother. But, even if you don't, I don't really care. I'm just a little curious about you, that's all. Because you can really make Marcell stay for ... two years?"

"You .. you can't be trusted," Catherine clenched her fists. "I'm here to find a job to feed my daughter! I'm not here to sek*s!"

"Not just sek*s. I'll pay you for it, and I'll give you everything you need. Isn't that comfortable?" said Marco.

"I happened to end my relationship with a woman about thirty minutes ago. He's just a bully."

"I don't want a commitment now either. It's too exhausting when there's a big project to come. That's why I wanted to hire you to work under me" Marco said.

Everything Marco said was unbelievable for a traditional woman like Catherine. He was ready to work hard just to provide for his daughter, not to sell her body— Huh, it didn't even make sense! He's 35, and he's 25!

He could obviously get whichever woman he wanted, but now he suddenly wanted to party with an old woman like her?!

Catherine took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

"Marco, I'm thirty-five, you know that? Why are you messing with a woman like me?"

"I have no obligation to tell you," Marcell shrugged with little or no care.

"The only job I can give you is to be my personal assistant" Marco replied. "You can leave now if you don't want to, Brother-in-law. In fact, I know you need this job a lot."

Upon realizing that Marco had only given her one choice, she bit her lip and shook her head violently, "All I need is a job, not to be your bitch! You're crazy, Marco Phoenix Sebastian!"

Catherine stomped her feet as she wanted to leave.

But Marco blocked his path with his broad shoulders and tall body.

"What's? What do you want now? I said I don't want your offer!" shouted Catherine.

"Aw, don't get too angry, Brother-in-law," he pulled out a business card from his suit pocket. He grabbed his wrist and put the card in his hand,

"This card has my personal number. Remember to call me when you change your mind."

Catherine gave him a stern look, "You bastard, Marco. Just like your brother."

Catherine evaded Marco and stayed away from the CEO's office.

Marco turned and watched as Catherine entered the elevator and finally left for good. He scoffed, "Just like my brother? Sister-in-law, I can be much worse."

Diamond, her secretary, slowly approached her Boss, who did not seem to be in a bad mood after the woman named Catherine left.

"B—Bos…"

"What?" Marco answered, his eyes still staring at the elevator.

"Are you sure you want to let go? Isn't she…"

"Don't worry. I'm his last savior" Marco said. His relaxed gaze turned even darker as he finally turned his gaze to his secretary, who was terrified of him. But the grin remained, giving the impression the devil had already ensnared a girl into his trap,

"He'll come crawling back to me. Make sure you prepare the room."

Diamond instantly knew what Lord Phoenix Sebastian meant about the 'room'.

He nodded obediently and did as he was told.

"Understand, Boss. I'll prepare it."

To be honest, Diamond was also afraid of Lord Phoenix Sebastian. He had worked with him for almost two years, so he naturally knew a lot about him, and it wasn't good.

He had thrown away all the ideas of romance with his Boss. He focused on his job because Mr. Phoenix Sebastian paid him very well, double the amount that secretaries usually get in other companies.

But besides that? No, he didn't want anything to do with his activities. He did not even understand how the women could throw themselves into the arms of criminals like Marco Phoenix Sebastian.

'Who wants to make a deal with the devil?' Think Diamond.

**

Catherine stomped her feet as she left the office building. He was angry and humiliated.

"I may be desperate, but I didn't come here just to be seen as a whore! You bastard, you're like your brother!"

Catherine shouted loudly and jumped in front of the building. He checked his phone and found that he got emails from two companies. They each offered jobs as secretaries and receptionists.

"seen? I'll get a job soon, so fuck you, Marco Phoenix Sebastian!"
