Trapped By My Stepfather Charm
I discovered that my mother had remarried this dangerous man upon my return from abroad. The drastic shift blindsided me. The strict rules he imposed and my mother's constant defense of him made me want to run away. However, I am only nineteen years old. If I recklessly walk out, I will forfeit the entire inheritance left by my late father.
Therefore, I plan to drive my stepfather out instead so that I will not have to lose anything. I began breaking his rules one by one. Until one night, while my mother was out of town on business, I broke his absolute strictest rule at a nightclub.
It was not my mother who came to my rescue when my safety was threatened, it was Alexander. Under the influence of a spiked drink forced on me by a male friend, my sanity failed me, and I recklessly threw myself at his broad frame in a desperate search for warmth. The events of that night exposed a massive secret he had been keeping all along just to protect my family.
My hatred is slowly crumbling, replaced by a dangerous fascination. Now, I am trapped in a forbidden attraction that could destroy everything. Should I run from this feeling, or should I surrender to the charm of the man who is still my mother's husband, the very man I am supposed to call my stepfather?

Chapter: Chapter 5"He just wants to control my life, Mom! Why can't you see that?!"My voice shook as I fought back tears, pressing the phone hard against my ear. I paced back and forth across my bedroom, gripping the hem of my shirt with my free hand."Selena, listen to me. Alexander has your best interests at heart. He only wants to protect you," Mom's voice on the other end sounded incredibly calm. It was so calm that it made my chest tighten with frustration."Protect me? He's locking me down, Mom! He's making insane rules as if I'm his prisoner!" I stopped in front of the window, staring out at the empty courtyard. "You actually trust that stranger more than your own daughter?""He isn't a stranger, he's my husband, Selena. Stop acting so childish. Those security measures are because you were almost hurt at that nightclub.""Oh, so he already ran to you to report it? He's brilliant at twisting the facts!""That's enough, Selena. Do not argue with Alexander. I'm busy here out of town. Just do as he

Chapter: Chapter 4"What the hell did you do to me?!"My voice shrilled, shattering the quiet of his study as I slammed the door hard enough to rattle against the wall.I stood in the doorway, bracing myself against the teak frame. I gripped the wood with everything I had. My head throbbed violently, as if hit by a blunt object. My vision blurred slightly, and the residual nausea from last night still lingered at the back of my throat. This morning, when I woke up in my own bed, my heart nearly stopped. An unfamiliar, oversized t-shirt was draped over my body, replacing the party dress from the night before. Fragmented memories of Alexander carrying me into the house replayed in my mind, triggering a wave of disgust and a burning rage in my chest. This was too much. This was assault.Alexander, who was putting away some documents into his leather briefcase, stopped what he was doing immediately. He straightened up, turned around, and looked at me with a completely blank, innocent expression."You're awa

Chapter: Chapter 3"Where the hell is she?!" Alexander roared, his voice cutting through the study like a block of ice.The clock on the wall already read three in the morning. I had turned off my phone at midnight on purpose, forcing him to deploy his entire security detail to scour the city.Meanwhile, inside the deafening thrum of the nightclub, my consciousness was slipping away. My head spun violently. The third drink I had downed earlier had triggered a sudden, scorching wave of heat through my body. My heart hammered frantically against my ribs, and an unsettling, frantic warmth began to crawl through my veins."Hey there, gorgeous. You look completely wasted. Come on, let's go," a strange voice whispered directly into my ear.I turned my head slowly, blinking at an unfamiliar man in a black button-down shirt. Before I could utter a word, his hands clamped tightly around my waist. He hoisted me up from the couch and half-dragged me toward the quiet emergency exit at the back."Get off me! Take yo

Chapter: Chapter 2"She is absolutely impossible, Alexander. I don't know what else to do about that stubborn attitude of hers,” Mother complained from the living room.I stopped in the hallway after quietly closing the front door behind me. It was already late at night. I had just returned from spending time with some of my old friends. Instead of heading straight upstairs, I froze behind a pillar when I heard my name. Mother looked distressed, while Alexander sat calmly on the sofa with a cup of tea in his hand.“Just got home, Selena? Do you know what time it is?” Alexander interrupted suddenly, his gaze immediately locking onto me as I stepped into view.I walked into the living room lazily, crossing my arms over my chest.“You're not blind. There's a clock on the wall. Why don't you look and see what time it is yourself?”“Selena, where have you been, sweetheart? Why are you only getting home at this hour?” Mother asked, clearly worried.“That's none of your business. You should focus on your new h

Chapter: Chapter 1"You've changed, Mom! This house doesn't feel like my home anymore!" My voice rose, echoing through the living room that now felt painfully unfamiliar and cold.Mom let out a long sigh and rubbed her temples. "Selena, watch your tone. You've only been back for a week after spending years overseas. Can't you try to stay calm?""How am I supposed to stay calm?" I crossed my arms and looked around the room with utter disgust. "Every corner of this house is filled with new rules. Curfews, breakfast schedules, even dress codes. This used to be our home, Mom. Now it feels like a prison.""All of these rules were created for everyone's benefit, Selena. A large household needs structure," Mom replied, trying to soften her voice. She stepped closer and reached for my shoulder, but I immediately pulled away."For everyone's benefit, or for your new husband's?" I sneered. "Just say his name, Mom. Alexander Kingsley. Ever since you married him, everything in this house revolves around that man."
