His Sister Can Have Him Chapter 1

On our wedding night, I caught my husband in bed with his sister.

I aimed my camera at a drunken, unconscious Ethan Hayes and the young woman curled up in his arms.

Then I sent the pictures straight to the family group chat.

"This is my first marriage, so I had no idea the groom was supposed to spend his wedding night with his sister."

"Don't worry, everyone. I'll do my best to make this marriage work with both of them."

I filled a basin with cold water and dumped it over Ethan and Lily Hayes.

"Ah!"

My sister-in-law, Lily, shot upright and glared at me.

Her sheer nightgown was soaked, revealing the outline of her body beneath it.

"Claire Bennett, have you lost your mind?"

Ethan wiped his face. When he realized Lily was lying beside him, his expression turned horrified.

"What are you doing here?"

Then he turned toward me. I stood with my arms folded as tears filled his eyes.

"Baby, I was drunk! I don't know anything!"

"Look, I'm still fully dressed!"

Ethan scrambled off the bed, fell to the floor, and hugged my legs as he sobbed.

"Baby, you have to believe me! I'm still a virgin!"

Lily stared in disbelief at Ethan kneeling at my feet.

"Ethan! Why are you kneeling to her?"

Ethan pointed at Lily, outraged.

"That's what I want to know! It's my wedding night. What are you doing in our bedroom?"

Lily sat on the bed, eating snacks with her chin tipped up.

"Mom and Dad said your house is my house. I have every right to live here."

Ethan tried to pull her off the bed.

As they struggled, her nightgown ripped.

"I want Sleeping Beauty!"

Lily suddenly screamed and yanked at her neckline. The ugly surgical scar below her collarbone shifted under the light.

"You promised you'd still read me bedtime stories after you got married! Liar! You're all liars!"

Lily hurled everything on the bed at Ethan.

I watched her meltdown in horror.

What was I supposed to do when I discovered, right after the wedding, that my sister-in-law was completely unhinged?

Seriously. I needed answers.

Ethan immediately rushed forward and wrapped his arms around Lily, soothing her softly.

"Okay, okay. I'll read it to you. Don't get so worked up."

Under his constant reassurance, Lily finally stopped.

I studied Ethan as he continued comforting her.

I had paid for this condo in full before we got married. My name was the only one on the deed.

I'd chosen Ethan because he was handsome, healthy, easygoing, and unlikely to cause trouble.

I hadn't expected my perfectly nice home to somehow become Lily's.

And I certainly hadn't expected Lily to act like this.

We had signed a prenup before the wedding.

Married or divorced, this condo belonged to me. Ethan had no claim to it.

Watching the siblings hug on my marital bed, I ran out of patience.

Was I supposed to give in just because she threw a tantrum?

Lily looked perfectly pleased with herself now that she had Ethan under her control.

I couldn't help sneering.

"I've never heard of a sister climbing into her brother's marital bed dressed like that."

"My sister-in-law showed up with her luggage on my wedding day and moved into my home. I really should ask our friends and family what they think."

"Do you even know what shame is?"

"Anyone who knows you might realize you're Ethan's sister. Anyone else would assume you're his side piece."

Lily's face flushed crimson. Humiliated, she pointed at me but couldn't get a complete sentence out.

"You—you—"

"What about me? Now that you know this is my home, get the hell out."

When I saw another meltdown coming, I quickly stepped out of the bedroom.

Unable to win an argument with me, Lily turned on Ethan, who was trying his best to disappear. She started clawing at his arm.

"Ethan! Divorce that crazy woman!"

"She doesn't deserve to be part of our family!"

Ethan gave me an embarrassed, pleading smile.

"She's still young. She doesn't know any better."

Caught between his wife and his sister, Ethan had turned into a spineless peacekeeper.
