Theirs to ruin
**Synopsis – Theirs to Ruin**
Eliana has always known the house she lives in is dangerous.
Not because of the locked doors or the quiet hallways, but because of the two men who share it with her.
Josh, her stepbrother, is twenty-four and already obsessed. He watches her like he owns every breath she takes. When he finally corners her, he doesn’t ask. He takes—hard, rough, and without mercy—leaving bruises and filthy words that make her body betray her even while her mind screams that this is wrong.
Richard, her stepfather, is older, quieter, and just as dangerous. He doesn’t need to raise his voice. One look is enough to make her pulse race. He waits. He observes. And when he decides it’s his turn, he claims her with the same ruthless control, only colder, more deliberate.
Sarah, her mother, sleeps just down the hall, completely unaware that her daughter is being ruined by both the son and the husband under their own roof.
Eliana tells herself she hates it.
She tells herself she should stop it.
But every time Josh pins her down and every time Richard’s hands close around her throat, the truth becomes harder to deny:
She doesn’t want to be saved.
She wants to be ruined.
By both of them.

Chapter: AFTER THE SCREAM**Chapter 15** **After the Scream**The first thing I felt was the cold.Tile pressed against my cheek. The sharp, metallic smell of blood filled my nose. Voices swam above me—urgent, overlapping, too loud.“—bleeding, she’s bleeding—”“What the fuck did you do?”“I didn’t mean—she screamed and then—”“Move. Get out of the way.”I tried to open my eyes. The kitchen lights stabbed into my skull. Someone’s hands were on my shoulders, shaking me carefully. Sarah’s voice broke on my name.“Ellie. Baby, look at me. Open your eyes.”I managed a slit of vision. Sarah’s face hovered above mine, pale and terrified, eyes wide and wet. Behind her I could just make out Richard kneeling on my other side, jaw locked tight. Further back, Josh stood frozen, blood on his hands and jeans, face the color of ash.“I called an ambulance,” Richard said, his voice low and tight. “They’re on their way.”Sarah’s hands cupped my face. “What happened? Talk to me. Where does it hurt?”I tried to speak. Only a

Chapter: THE NIGHT EVERYTHING BROKE**Chapter 14** **The Night Everything Broke**Weeks had passed since the hospital.The embryo inside her was still fragile, still barely more than a secret cluster of cells, but it was there. Real. Growing in the dark while she carried the knowledge alone. Eliana had told no one. Not Josh. Not Richard. Not Sarah. Not Chloe or Maya. The secret sat in her chest like a second heartbeat she could never ignore.She had withdrawn completely.The days blurred into one long, gray silence. She stayed in her room with the curtains drawn, phone face-down on the nightstand, lights off. Sarah knocked every morning and every evening, voice soft with worry.“Ellie? Baby, please open the door. Just talk to me.”Richard knocked too, later in the day, his voice lower, controlled but edged with something that almost sounded like concern.“Eliana. You need to eat. At least let me know you’re all right.”She never answered.Josh had been gone for most of those weeks—away at a friend’s place, or so Sarah

Chapter: THE THING SHE COULDN'T NAME**Chapter 13** **The Thing She Couldn’t Name**It started as a quiet wrongness in her body.Not the sharp, obvious sickness of a flu or a stomach bug. This was slower. Heavier. A low, constant tiredness that sat behind her eyes and in the middle of her chest. Her limbs felt weighted, as if someone had quietly turned up the gravity in the house overnight. Food smelled different. The coffee she usually needed in the morning turned her stomach. Even the scent of Richard’s cologne when he walked past her in the hallway felt too strong, almost metallic.She told herself it was stress.It made sense. The last few weeks had been a blur of locked doors, rough hands, controlled hands, secrets stacked on top of secrets. Her body was simply reacting. That was all. People got run-down. People lost their appetite when their lives started fracturing in ways they couldn’t control.She almost believed it.---That evening Richard cooked lasagna.It was her favorite. He had made it before, on quiete

Chapter: The house between them**Chapter 12** **The House Between Them**I stayed in my room longer than I should have after Richard left.The sheets were a mess. My body still hummed with the leftover pulse of what he had done to me—the controlled way he had taken me, the deliberate pace, the way he had made me say his name while he came inside me. I could still feel him. Deeper than Josh. Heavier. The kind of claim that lingered in the muscles of my thighs and the soft ache between my legs.I showered again. The water ran hot enough to turn my skin pink, but it didn’t erase the feeling. When I stepped out and looked in the mirror, I barely recognized the girl staring back. Flushed. Eyes too dark. Lips still slightly swollen. There was a new mark on the other side of my neck, higher than the one Josh had left, where Richard’s mouth had been.I covered both of them with concealer and a sweater with a collar that sat too high for the weather.Downstairs, the house smelled like garlic and something rich simmering o

Chapter: TWO SHADOWS**Chapter 11** **Two Shadows**I woke up sore in places that had nothing to do with sleep.Josh’s cum had dried sticky on my inner thighs. The faint bruises from his fingers still ached on my wrists. But underneath all of that was the sharper, unfinished ache Richard had left behind—the phantom press of his fingers, the low promise that he could ruin me deeper than his son ever would.I showered longer than necessary, scrubbing until my skin felt raw, as if I could wash both of them off me. It didn’t work. When I looked in the mirror, my lips were still slightly swollen and there was a fresh reddish mark high on the side of my neck that I couldn’t quite hide with my hair.I chose a high-neck sweater anyway.Downstairs, the kitchen already smelled like coffee and toast. Sarah stood at the stove in her robe, humming. Richard sat at the head of the table in a crisp white shirt, sleeves rolled once, reading something on his tablet. Josh was across from the empty chair that was mine, scr

Chapter: THE ACHE HE LEFT**Chapter 10** **The Ache He Left**I didn’t move for a long time after the door clicked shut.My back was still against the wall. The torn nightgown hung off one shoulder, the cool air kissing my bare breast. My thighs were slick. Every pulse between my legs throbbed with the orgasm Richard had deliberately stolen from me. I could still feel the stretch of his fingers, the rough drag of his palm, the way his voice had wrapped around the words *scream my name*.I pressed my thighs together and almost moaned at the pressure.This was worse than anything Josh had ever done. Josh took. He used. He left me shaking and full and marked. But he never left me *empty* on purpose. Richard had. He had wound me up, pushed me to the edge, and walked away with a smirk, knowing exactly how desperate he had made me.I hated him for it. I hated how much I already wanted him to come back and finish it.I finally pushed off the wall on unsteady legs, peeled the ruined nightgown the rest of the way o
