A Night With My Husband's Stepbrother Chapter 140
The parking lot air was bitter, the kind of cold that sank into your bones and made every breath feel sharp. The fluorescent lights still buzzed overhead, flickering faintly, casting long shadows over the cracked pavement. Ariel stood still, her coat pulled tight around hermDario was only a few steps away. He stood still, calm and composed. He watched her with a predator’s patience. But it wasn’t him that held her attention.It was Max.The thought of what he must been through, the constant desperation to be free from Dario's shackles“Young lady?” Dario called, straining her out of her daze. “I'll tell you about the dirt I got on Lucas Enterprise.” “My name is Ariel Richmond,” she began, her voice steady on the surface, though tremors rippled just beneath. “I met Johnny Lucas at my place of work while I was in Spain. He for some reason to a liking to me and...”She didn’t look at Dario as she spoke. Her gaze remained fixed on Max, like an anchor keeping her from drifting into t

The hour was late, and most of the city had gone to sleep, but Johnny hadn’t, he couldn't infact.He stood in his study, his jaw clenched, one hand resting on the edge of the desk as his security team gave him the same answer for the fifth time.“No, sir. We haven’t been able to track her since she stepped in Alpha Corp earlier in the day.”He ended the call without a word, the phone hitting the desk with a sharp thud. His eyes burned with deep frustration. He could feel a sick twist of intuition recoiling in his chest. Ariel was gone… again.She had slipped through the penthouse, just like before, and now her phone was off, no camera feed had her in sight, and no one knew where the hell she was.He should’ve never let her out of his sight, not even for a spilt second. Who knows where she coud be right now, or what she was doing?He yanked his coat off the hook, shoving his arms into the sleeves with a practiced fury. His keys jingled as he stormed out of the penthouse, nearly knoc

The mirror stared back at her, but Ariel wasn’t looking at her reflection, her mind was focused on trying to calm her nerves for a situation-changing steps she was about to take. He wore her soft pink lipstick, a sleek black coat, her hair pulled back with surgical precision. She’d stayed tucked away in the hotel ever since her encounter at Alpha Corp earlier today. She knew if she returned to Johnny's penthouse, he'll put her on permanent lock down, especially if he knew he went to Alpha Corp. She hadn’t told anyone what had happened there with Alexander and what they discussed, not yet. Some things were better left in the shadows, just like the war she was preparing to walk into now.Her phone just then buzzed once. An encrypted message appeared on her screen. It was just a location and a time. It was the same location as last time, and it was in thirty minutes. The meeting was on. Dario was ready to see her.Good, she was this close to finally getting her son back. She

The hotel room felt colder than before, though the air conditioning hadn't changed. Elena stood frozen in the center of the suite, her arms wrapped tightly across her chest and her fingers digging into her sleeves. She had been at her hotel for a few hours now, but she could only still hear the echos of Liam’s voice in her head. “Get off my porch before I call the cops.”Not even a chance to speak. He didn't bother to ask questions, or show a little curiosity or at the very least sympathy for his missing child. It was just a stone-faced rejection and a slammed door right in her face.She exhaled sharply, pacing in tight circles across the plush carpet. It was the worst-case scenario—and somehow, it had played out exactly as she feared.Her jaw clenched.She had needed him to corporate so badly she really needed his story, his perspective, his anger, not because she cared, but because his truth was the missing bullet in the chamber she was ready to fire at Johnny.Johnny had a patt

The office was bathed in soft amber light, the heavy curtains drawn close blocking off the midday sun. Dario leaned back in his leather chair, slowly swirling the half filled scotch glass in his hand as Ms. Delgado paced across from him with poise and precision.She was dressed in her usual tailored suit, looking as sharp and professional as ever.“The press storm has rattled Alpha Corp more than we expected,” she said, placing a thick file on his desk. “From what we heard, several of his investors have already pulled out. The board is in damage control mode. And exclusively, his share prices dropped three percent this morning alone.”Dario’s lips curled into a quiet smirk. “Perfect.”Ms. Delgado met his gaze. “But this is the window, Dario. If we want to strike, it has to be now. Alexander has too much on his plate to fight us properly. We double the pressure, and he’ll fold—or bleed.”“So you want to enact lawsuit?” he asked, his voice low but commanding.She gave a short nod in ag

The Lucas estate came into sight as Johnny's car drove I to the main house yard. The estate stood like a memory carved into stone—grand, regal, untouched by time. Johnny stepped out of the sleek black Audi, his shoes crunching softly against the gravel driveway. The mansion loomed ahead, draped in its usual elegance. Despite everything that was happening around Johnny right now, from the chaos, the missing child, the ongoing scandal with Alexander, this place had always been a strange kind of sanctuary.His sanctuary.He pushed open the towering front doors without knocking, and stepped in with measures steps.The scent of jasmine floated through the cool air of the room.He took a moment, letting the fresh scent tingle in his nose, then he continued through the house.He found Amanda in the dining room all by herself. She was elegant as ever dressed in a silk cream blouse and pearls that shimmered beneath the chandelier. “My boy,” she purred, eyes lighting up as he stepped in.“
