A Bully For A StepBrother. The Decision
(KAIRA'S POV)Damian's words lingered in the room long after he left.I sat at the table, my hands folded in front of me, my mind churning. Slade was beside me, his hand resting on my back, his presence steady and grounding."He's asking for a lot," Slade said quietly."I know.""He wants to be a Horton. That's not something we can just give him.""I know." I turned to look at him. "But he's also offering us something we can't get anywhere else. Names. Locations. Evidence. Everything we need to take down the network once and for all.""And if he's lying?""Then we'll deal with it." I paused. "But what if he's not? What if he's telling the truth? What if this is our only chance to end this?"Slade was quiet for a long moment."Then we need to be smart about it. We can't just hand him the Horton name. We need to test him first. See if he's really willing to help us.""What do you suggest?""We give him a small task. Something that proves he's on our side. If he passes, we consider his r
A Bully For A StepBrother. Damian’s Smile.
(KAIRA'S POV)Damian's smile lingered in the air like smoke.Interesting.That was all he said before he disappeared into the crowd, leaving me standing there with my heart pounding and my mind racing.Slade was beside me in an instant, his hand gripping mine."Are you okay? Did he hurt you?""I'm fine." I turned to look at him, my eyes wide. "He wants to be part of the family.""I heard.""He said he can help us. He said he has information about the network."Slade's jaw tightened."He's manipulating you.""Maybe." I paused. "But what if he's not? What if he's telling the truth?""And what if he's not?" Slade challenged. "What if this is just another game? Another way to get close to us so he can destroy us from the inside?"I didn't have an answer.Because I didn't know.---We left the gala early, the weight of Damian's words pressing down on us.The drive home was silent. Slade's hands were tight on the steering wheel, his jaw clenched, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.I stared o
A Bully For A StepBrother. The Update.
(SLADE'S POV)Walter looked slightly startled when I burst into the grand foyer."Where's she?" I demanded, already half running further in. What I really wanted to say was, "Where are they?""In the second living room, sir. But she—"I didn't wait to listen. I increased my pace until I had opened the doors and let myself into the second living room. My eyes searched the space quickly and landed on someone relaxed on a sofa.My fists tightened. I recognized that damned face."What the fuck did you do to her?" I had already grabbed him up by the collar and pulled him to his feet."Mr Horton, that's her friend. He helped her." Walter hurriedly said in panic.My hand lingered and then dropped while this unfamiliar guy straightened his clothes. He looked offended, his sharp blue eyes plunging into me with anger."How rude! You're lucky Kaira is your stepsister." He snapped at me angrily."You're the lucky one." I took another step towards him and he took two back. "Where is she?""She's f
A Bully For A StepBrother. The Trap Springs
(KAIRA'S POV)The world stopped.Damian stood before me, his dark eyes glittering with amusement, his lips curved into that cold, empty smile. He was dressed impeccably—a black suit that fit him perfectly, his dark hair slicked back, his posture relaxed.He looked like he belonged here.He looked like he'd been waiting for this moment his entire life."Hello, sister," he said again, his voice smooth as silk.I forced myself to breathe."Damian.""You remember me. I'm flattered." He stepped closer, and I instinctively stepped back. "Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you. Not here.""Why not?""Because there are too many witnesses." He glanced around the ballroom, his expression almost bored. "And because I want to talk to you. Properly. Without interruptions.""We have nothing to talk about.""Oh, but we do." His eyes met mine. "We have so much to talk about. Our father, for instance. Your father. The network. The future."I felt my heart pounding."I don't care about any of that.""Y
A Bully For A StepBrother. The Dance
(KAIRA'S POV)The music swelled around us, a soft, slow melody that seemed to wrap around my heart.Slade's arms were around me, his hand warm on the small of my back. His eyes never left mine, green and intense, filled with something I couldn't quite name."I told him to go to hell," he said again, his voice low.I stared at him, my heart pounding."You did?""I did." His jaw tightened. "He threatened you. He threatened our family. And he thought I would just... walk away?""Slade...""I would never leave you, Makaira." His voice was fierce. "Not for him. Not for anyone. Not ever."I felt tears prick at my eyes."He said he would spare my life if you left.""I don't care." He pulled me closer. "I don't care what he said. I don't care what he threatened. I'm not going anywhere.""But what if he hurts you? What if he—""Then I'll fight." His eyes blazed. "I'll fight for you. For Hope. For everything we've built. And I'll win."I stared at him, my heart swelling."How can you be so sure
A Bully For A StepBrother. The World In The Store.
(KAIRA’S POV)For one moment, the world was still in the store.“I said, get her out of here or I will have you reported!” Shelly’s loud screech sliced the silence. I quickly handed over thr shirt to the sales assitant and walked towards a confused Cameron, taking his hand in mine.“That’s fine. I’ll leave now.” I said quickly. “Come on, Cam.”I pulled but ended up getting pulled back. Because Cameron didn’t move. “What’s going on here?” He asked, his tone measured, showing that he was genuinely confused.“Who the hell is this? Throw them both out now!” Shelly snapped, squeezing her face in disgust. “Cameron, let’s just leave please.” I begged pulling him but he pulled back and wiggled his hand out of my grasp.“Who the hell is this Barbie wannabe?” He said as he took a steady step forward.“Are you talking to me?” Shelly was taking steps forward too, her finger pointed at her own chest. “Please, we don’t want any problems.” The manager said coming closer to the little group that

A Bully For A StepBrother. The Mistake.
(KAIRA'S POV)Slade put me down immediately and draped his jacket over my shoulder. I stood like a doll, unmoving, waiting as the footsteps presented their owners."Oh my goodness, what happened, baby?" Mum cried as she ran towards me. "We were just on our way to get you both and then we heard you
