Forbidden By Her Mafia Stepbrother

“You are my stepbrother,” Viola whispered, her back pressing against the locked mahogany door. “Stepbrother.” The word left Sebastian’s lips like a curse. His shadow swallowed the room, caging her against the wood. He caught her chin, forcing her violet eyes to meet the ruthless amber of his. “A piece of paper doesn’t make us family, Dulzura,” he murmured, his thumb brushing her trembling lower lip. “It just makes you mine.” ************************************* Sebastian Cain Hierro doesn’t do romance. There are no gentle promises, no soft apologies, and absolutely no love games. A man bred in the violence of the cartel only understands one language: absolute, brutal control.

On the living room couch, Nora's male assistant, Caleb Jackson, sits with his parents. He's wearing my slippers and holding my cat in his arms, ordering toward the kitchen, "Mrs. Shepherd, the soup's a little bland and could use some more salt!" Dad crouches on the balcony, fixing the wooden rocking horse he's spent two weeks building by hand. A crack blooms across the horse's head, while a black shoeprint is stamped on its back. "Caleb's parents came all this way," Nora says. "We can't exactly make our guests lift a finger." Caleb quickly stands up, looking wronged. "John, don't blame Ms. Ford. I only asked your mom to give us a hand." Mom hurries over and waves dismissively. "It's fine. I'm used to doing this at home anyway." Caleb's mother chuckles. "Your mom works pretty quickly. If we ever need a housekeeper, I can put in a word for her." Dad's fingers tremble. He's been crouching so long that his back hurts too badly to stand up. Just then, the TV suddenly lights up. A line of text appears across the screen. "Welcome, Mr. Caleb Jackson, to Ms. Nora Ford's new home." The next second, a move-in registration form from the property manager pops up on my phone.

Why did you just watch your son die without lifting a single finger to help him?" "The purpose of Ashton's existence is to save Harold's and my child," Sophia says nonchalantly. "I can't openly remove his heart and give it to Micah if he doesn't die. I've treated Gabriel and Ashton very well in the past few years. Now, it's their turn to repay me."
