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 81The heavy double doors of Alexander’s top-floor office swung open, revealing Helena standing on the threshold. Her posture was straight and poised, her formal blazer buttoned up, and her eyes sharp with controlled fury. She did not enter as a frantic mother seeking answers, but as a seasoned corporate veteran arriving to claim what was hers.Behind his broad mahogany desk, Alexander adjusted the cuff links of his shirt. His tie was freshly straightened, his coat back on, and his face a mask of smooth composure. The faint scent of perfume lingering in the air was the only muted trace of what had transpired on the leather sofa minutes prior."Helena," Alexander said softly, standing up to offer a polite nod. "I did not expect a drop-in visit from you at this hour."Helena stepped into the spacious room, her heels clicking rhythmically against the polished floorboards. She ignored his greeting, her gaze sweeping across the pristine office before locking onto him."Where is Selena, Alexan

Chapter: Chapter 80"The number you are calling is unavailable or out of coverage range," the automated recording severed the call for the fifth time.Helena dragged her thumb harshly across her phone screen, glancing at the wall clock in her office. It was already five in the afternoon. Deep lines etched the middle-aged woman's forehead. Selena had not arrived home yet, and not a single text sent since earlier that afternoon had gone through.She immediately dialed another contact on her phone. It rang three times before a voice answered from the other end."Hello, Aunt Helena?" Sophia's voice sounded hesitant on the line."Sophia, are you still with Selena?" Helena asked without preamble. Her voice was calm, yet carried a firm edge that permitted no argument."No, Auntie. Selena left earlier this afternoon," Sophia replied softly.Helena tapped her fingers against the mahogany desk. "Left? Where to? She hasn't made it home yet.""Wait, didn't Selena leave because you told her to?" Sophia sounded confus

Chapter: Chapter 79"Mr. Alexander, the parking area is secure and the private elevator is ready," the guard’s voice came from behind the dark car glass, shattering the intense silence between us.Alexander did not release my body immediately. His thumb stroked my wet lower lip once more before he pressed the intercom button on the door."Wait in front of the elevator. Nobody comes near," Alexander commanded coldly.He released his hold, allowing me to hurriedly adjust my rumpled shirt. My chest rose and fell as I tried to regain my frantic breath. Alexander glanced briefly at his luxury watch, then looked at me with dark eyes holding unfinished passion."Fix your hair," he whispered softly. "We are leaving now."He opened the car door, took my hand, and guided me out. His strides were long and firm. The guards stood at attention with bowed heads as we passed them toward the private elevator. I tried to look down, terrified they would see my flushed face and the dark kiss marks on my neck.The elevator d

Chapter: Chapter 78"You really thought I was taking you home after what happened at the salon?"Alexander’s deep voice shattered the silence in the back of the car. The luxury vehicle glided smoothly down the city streets, driven by the personal chauffeur up front. The thick, closed glass partition separated us, creating a private space that felt increasingly narrow and suffocating.I turned quickly, looking at Alexander’s sharp face illuminated by the dim afternoon light filtering through the window."Alexander, but Mom was waiting at the office. She said there was something important," I said."Your mother is indeed at my office," he interrupted quickly, his voice calm yet carrying an unresolved tension. His large, warm right hand remained wrapped tightly around my waist, holding my body flush against his. "Your mother asked me to pick you up herself because your class was canceled and your lecturer was sick. I'm taking you to my office now because I have an important meeting to attend."I bit my lowe

Chapter: Chapter 77"Are you sure you don't want me to wait until your mother gets here, Selena?"Sophia looked at me with concern outside the glass doors of the salon. Her eyes scanned my pale face and slightly messy hair."No need, Sophia," I answered, trying to smile even though my lips felt completely stiff. "My mother just called. There is an urgent matter at home and I need to get back right away.""But you look so pale. Are you really okay? You look like you just saw a ghost.""Just a little dizzy," I cut in quickly. I gripped the strap of my bag tightly, trying hard to hide my hands, which were still trembling violently. "You go ahead and finish your treatment. I'm heading out first. I'm sorry I can't stay with you until you're done."Without waiting for Sophia's reply, I turned around quickly and walked away from the salon area.Alexander's luxury black sedan was already parked right at the curb. Its pitch-black tinted windows hid whoever was inside. My steps slowed down, feeling heavy and cold

Chapter: Chapter 76"Did you really think that flimsy wooden door could stop me, Selena?"Click.The soft sound of the sliding door locking echoed through the steamy room.I froze in the bathtub. The milky white water concealed most of my body, but under his gaze, I still felt completely exposed.Alexander stepped closer. He stood calmly at the edge of the tub, staring down at me without blinking. There was no hesitation in his eyes, not in the least bothered by the fact that I was soaking there completely naked."How did you know I was here?" my voice trembled. My hands gripped the rim of the bathtub. "Where is my mother?"Alexander leaned down slightly, looking straight into my eyes."There isn't a single thing about you that you can hide from me, Selena," he answered in a low voice. "And your mother? She's busy with work. She isn't coming to save you.""You're lying," I whispered."I never lie to you."Alexander knelt on the cold floor beside the tub. His warm hand plunged into the milky water and gra
