Once Upon A Steamy Night With My Stepson
Her aunt sold her at eighteen… to a ruthless billionaire, Thomas Brooks, to save her dying brother.
She lost her baby, her name, and three years of her life to a monster who treated her like she was nothing but a worthless possession bought with money.
And on the night she finally broke free from him, she fell into the arms of the one man she was never meant to touch… her stepson, George.
One night of reckless, forbidden passion gave her a child she kept a secret, and a shame that haunted her for many years.
Now, six years later, Alice Cooper is no longer that desperate girl who begged to be seen. She's the queen of a half-billion-dollar empire, and the city that once crushed her now bows to her feet.
But the past catches up to her sooner and faster than she could ever imagine.
Thomas is losing money, and his empire is crumbling… and now he comes crawling back to her, begging for help.
Her aunt, Samantha gives her an ultimatum… help Thomas rebuild his empire or watch her darkest secret exposed to the world.
With threats closing in and the safety of her child hanging on the line, Alice must decide… assist the same people who broke her, to keep her secret buried… or destroy them all, even if it means risking everything she has ever built.

Chapter: Bouquet of SurprisesChapter 19George The moment Alice hit the ground, Thomas’s men lunged for the kid. But there was no way I was letting that happen… not on my watch.With a single sharp signal, my guards surged forward, caught them off guard, and snatched the child back in one clean move.When the dust had finally settled, Thomas’s men were sprawled across the floor, bleeding out and barely moving. Thomas just stood there, staring at the scene in stunned silence until his eyes finally locked onto mine.“You just declared war on yourself, kid,” he said, his voice low and venomous, his jaw clenched so tight I could see the muscle twitch. “Better get ready… because you’re about to dance to the tune of my song.”I didn't pay attention to him, let alone say a word to him. I crouched towards Alice quickly, who was now bleeding thoroughly from her hand, swiftly wrapping my arm under her head to help her up.“Get the door!” I yelled as I pulled her to her feet, gesturing to the guards. They swung forward at

Chapter: The First StrikeChapter 18Alice The day after I saw that disastrous headline was supposed to be a happy one for Leo. His school had planned a museum field trip… something he’d been talking about for weeks.But I let my instincts get the better part of me. I could no longer trust the school to keep him safe. Not after everything. If anything happened to him, I wouldn’t survive the guilt. I had to take him myself.“I’ll take him to the museum,” I told George as we prepared to leave that morning.He froze, his expression shifting to stunned concern. “Why?” His brows pulled together in confusion. “I thought the school provided a bus to take the kids there and back.”“I know,” I replied with a nod.“Then why insist on stressing yourself out like this?”“I’m not stressing myself, George!” I snapped, my temper flaring before I could stop it. “Leo is my son—my responsibility. If anything happens to him, I’ll never forgive myself. And I won’t forgive you either.”That ended the discussion.George didn’t ar

Chapter: The Enemy WithinChapter 17~Thomas~"I'm beyond disappointed in you, Sam," I snapped, my voice thunderous as I ran a hand furiously through my hair. "I gave you one simple task, and once again, you failed… miserably!"My anger burned hot enough to set the whole place ablaze. I had just arrived in the country, expecting to walk in and see the boy here. Instead, I come home to find out the mission was a complete disaster. How hard could it be to catch a damn child?Samantha dropped to her knees, tears streaming down her cheeks as she begged for forgiveness… but I didn’t want to hear it. “You know what? I’m done with this conversation. Get out of my house.”Her eyes widened in disbelief. “No, Thom, please… just hear me out.”She crawled towards me, desperation written all over her face, but I stepped back coldly before she could reach me.“I won’t say it again. Leave… or I’ll have the guards drag you out.”She stood up slowly, lifting her eyes to mine. Then, without another word, she turned and walked o

Chapter: FistfightChapter 16 George Alice stood frozen, her eyes locked on mine like she was trying to fix a puzzle. Then, without a word, she turned away… her back to me… as tears broke free from her eyes. “I've had enough humiliation,” she whispered, her voice shaking through her sniffles. “I… I just can’t anymore.” She turned back around, meeting my gaze, her face streaked with sweat and tears. “Can’t you see, George? My entire empire is hanging by a thread… My name is falling apart because of this same scandal. I don’t have the strength for more drama. I’m barely holding on.” “I get it, Alice. I truly do.” I reached out, gently taking her hands in mine, our faces just inches apart. “I understand everything you're feeling. But you need to give yourself a little grace. Trust me... your empire will survive this. You will survive this.” “But how, George?” she whispered, her voice cracking. “I'm watching everything I built fall apart.” “I know,” I said quickly, pulling her closer. “But you won’t

Chapter: Forbidden FlamesChapter 15 George My grip tightened around the letter the moment Maria mentioned Leo’s name. My hands trembled as I scanned the words, my heart pounding. ‘Happy early birthday, Leo. Three weeks left. Enjoy the peace while it lasts.’The message hit me like a blow to the chest. For a long second, I just stared at the words, unable to look away. When the shock finally wore off, I sat up abruptly… and only then did I notice Maria was still standing quietly across the room, watching me. She furrowed her brows slightly, sensing the shift in my mood. “Is everything alright, sir?” I forced a calm nod, masking the storm building in my chest. “It’s nothing I can’t handle. Thanks for bringing this. You can go now.” She hesitated, like she wanted to say more, but eventually gave a slow nod and turned to leave. Just as her hand reached the doorknob, I spoke again… my voice sharper this time. “Maria.” She turned back immediately. “From now on, make sure Leo’s room is heavily

Chapter: The MoleChapter 14George The moment my lips touched hers, something deep within me shifted… a feeling I had spent so long trying to bury, to forget.But forgetting her? That was impossible.Every attempt to stay away, every reminder that I shouldn't want her, only drew me in closer. The harder I pushed her away, the stronger the pull became. The feelings just wouldn't let go.And now, given the chance to finally protect her, I wouldn’t hesitate. I’d give everything I had to keep her safe… even if it meant waging war against my own father.I pulled her gently from the embrace, letting our eyes lock in the thick heat of the moment.I held her hands firmly, like a commander ready to lay down the plan. Her eyes flickered with rising fear, her hands trembling softly beneath mine.“It’s okay, Alice. I’m here now,” I whispered, my gaze sweeping over her fragile frame. “You don’t have to be afraid anymore. I’m not going anywhere… not until all this is over. I promise.”She lifted her head slowly, h

Chapter: Christmas in Hell Chapter 4IvyI froze in place, my mind still reeling from his words.First, he had approached me out of nowhere at a random restaurant, asking to share my table. Now, he was offering a contract marriage… in exchange for my mother’s safety?The weight of his proposal settled heavily in my chest, pressing against my ribs like ice cubes.It was too much… all of it.The idea of entering a fake marriage, especially with a man I barely knew, felt insane. I wasn’t ready for this kind of drama, and definitely not the kind that came with someone as powerful as him.But at the same time… my mother’s life was on the line.This could be the only way to save her.If I refused the offer, I'd lose the money and Valentino wouldn't hesitate to end her life if I wasted more time. Twenty-four hours… that’s all she had left. The thought alone made my stomach turn.I had to act really fast before it was too late... and at this point, I had no better option.If the only way to save my mother was by gettin

Chapter: The Devil's DealChapter 3IvySeveral pictures of the man and I, fast asleep, in what looked like a compromising position, were splashed all over the screen.My jaw dropped in disbelief.They looked terrifyingly real… and now, they were everywhere on social media.My face turned pale as I stared at the images, barely able to contain the shock. But what left me even more stunned was how calm the man appeared, completely unbothered by the headlines or the scandalous photos.My cheeks flushed with rage and disbelief as I snapped my gaze towards him.“Seriously? You're just going to sit there and pretend like none of this is happening?”He sat up slowly, still half-lost in whatever he was doing on his phone.“You really need to take a chill pill,” he said coolly, finally lifting his gaze to meet mine. “It’s nothing to worry about. Trust me.”My eyes widened in disbelief, as if I had just been struck hard across the face.Nothing to worry about?Was he being serious right now?He seriously thought all of

Chapter: The Christmas ScandalChapter 2IvyMy legs wobbled beneath me, my mind spinning from how strangely familiar the voice sounded. I steadied myself and slowly lifted my gaze… only to freeze when I saw Quentin marching towards us, Ashley right beside him, her arm wrapped tightly around his.My heart thundered in my chest, and despite the cold night air, a wave of heat rushed through me as they approached us.What could they be up to this time?“Well, well, well…” Quentin drawled as they drew closer. “Looks like she's found herself a cheap callboy to keep her company tonight.”They both laughed, a smug grin painted across their faces. But the grin quickly disappeared from Quentin's face the moment his gaze landed on the man beside me. “Mr Hawthorne?” He breathed, unable to hold back his shock.The man gave a cold, tight smile, tightening his grip gently on my hand.“Quentin.” He replied in a clipped tone.My breath caught in my throat.They knew each other?While I was still trying to process it, Ashley step

Chapter: The Christmas Eve Surprise Chapter 1Ivy“Ma’am, are you ready to place your order now?” the waiter asked again, for what felt like the umpteenth time, as he slid the menu across my table.I lifted my head slowly, struggling to ignore the weight of curious stares pressing down on me from every direction.I let out a quiet sigh and lowered my gaze to meet his, my voice barely above a whisper. “Not yet. I’m still waiting for my date.”He sighed in irritation and walked away, taking the menu with him.My eyes dropped to the floor, my legs shaking nervously beneath me. Embarrassment burned through me as I reached for my phone once again, hoping to see a message from Quentin this time. But there was nothing… just that same blue tick mocking me like a cold slap.He had clearly seen my messages, but still hadn't replied or called back… after ninety six long minutes.It was 9.47pm now… exactly two hours since I arrived here. Yet, there was still no sign that Quentin was close to showing up.Every table around me was f
