A One Night Stand With My Stepbrother CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: THE GIRLFRIEND
STACYI wake up the next morning lying on my bed with Josh’s words from last night still running through my mind.What did he mean? Who is he talking about? My mother? Or someone else?I press my fingers against my temples, trying to push the thoughts away.But what bothers me even more is how Josh acted last night.Why was he so cold towards me? He's never spoken to me like that before. And why the hell does his behavior bother me more than what he actually told me?I get up from the bed, pushing the thoughts aside to get ready for school. I refuse to spend the entire morning wondering why he was so cold last night.After getting ready, I step out of the mansion, only to see Josh standing beside his car.His eyes meet mine.“I can give you a ride to school,” he says.“No thanks.”I walk past him toward the gates. A moment later, I hear his footsteps hurrying after me.“Stacy.”I keep walking.“Stacy, please. Just let me give you a ride to school. Please.”Something in his voice makes
A One Night Stand With My Stepbrother CHAPTER TWENTY TWO: TRUST NO ONE
JOSHI storm into the mansion, slamming the front door shut behind me.I head straight upstairs, my footsteps heavy against the floor. I reach my father’s office and slam the door open.My father sits behind his desk, his attention fixed on the documents in front of him. He doesn't even look up.My hands curl into tight fists at my sides. My jaw locks as the anger inside me burns hotter with every second I look at him.I storm toward the desk, move around it, and grab him by the front of his shirt.He finally looks up at me.I pull him to his feet and drive my fist into his face.His head jerks to the side, and he stumbles backward into his chair.I stand over him, breathing hard, my fists still clenched.“You fucking bastard. You lied to me. Where is Adrian?”He keeps looking at me, his fist clenched at his side.“How dare you hit me, Josh?” He snaps.“I’ll hit you again if you don’t tell me where Adrian is right now.”He stares at me for a moment before letting out a slow breath.“I
A One Night Stand With My Stepbrother CHAPTER 21: The Lie
JOSHMy entire body goes still at his words.A psychiatric hospital.For a few seconds, I don't know how to react. I stare at my father, waiting for him to take the words back or explain that I misunderstood him. But he says nothing.Adrian is just 5 years old. How could Father send him there?I only found out that I have a little brother when he was four. My father didn't tell me about him. I found out about Adrian on my own.I was never angry about the fact my father had a child somewhere else. I was more angry about the fact he hid it from me.And now, just when I finally have the chance to know him, Dad sends him away.“Where is the hospital?” I ask.My father's expression hardens again.“That's not your concern.”My brows pull together. ““What do you mean it's not my concern?”“It means you don't need to know.”I stare at him, barely believing what I'm hearing.“You just told me he's in a psychiatric hospital, and you're telling me I don't need to know where?”“He needs treatment
A One Night Stand With My Stepbrother CHAPTER 20: Where Is He?
JOSHFlashing lights move across the crowded club, while loud music echoes around us, making the glasses on our table vibrate. We are in the VIP section, where the music is slightly quieter than on the main floor below. I sit back in the leather booth, listening to Lukas explain the latest progress while Mateo and Viktor watch him closely.“We’ve secured two alliances so far. The Serbs have agreed to the terms, and the Spanish are still on board. No changes from their side.” Lukas says.I nod, turning the glass between my fingers. “And the Petrovs?”“They've agreed to meet. They'll send me the date for the meeting since you've agreed to their terms.”My brows draw together as I think about the terms the Petrovs asked for in exchange for meeting with me.The Petrovs are exactly the kind of family we need an alliance with. Their terms aren't exactly convenient, but I agreed to date their daughter because I understand what the arrangement can buy us.Mateo leans forward. “That leaves the
A One Night Stand With My Stepbrother CHAPTER NINETEEN: THE FAMILY SECRET
STACYI spend most of the next morning thinking about Henderson Holdings.The name keeps coming back to me no matter how hard I try to push it away. My father had been involved in a legal dispute with the company before his death, and now I know that the company is connected to my stepfather.There has to be more to it.I sit at my desk and open my laptop again, determined to find out what I can. I search through old business records, articles, and anything else I can find about Henderson Holdings and my father's company.It takes several searches before I find something that catches my attention.A business article from years ago mentions a partnership between my father and the Henderson family.I stare at the screen.My father and my stepfather's family had been business partners.I read the article again, hoping I have misunderstood it, but the names are still there. The partnership had apparently lasted for several years before falling apart over a disagreement involving the compa
A One Night Stand With My Stepbrother CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: WHAT DOES HE KNOW?
STACYI close my bedroom door behind me and lean against it for a moment, trying to steady my thoughts. The letter in my bag feels heavier than it should, as if the weight of everything I have learned today is somehow trapped inside it.My stepbrother's face comes back to me.The way he looked at my bag.He knows something.I push away from the door and drop my bag on the bed. Before I can unzip it, there is a knock.I freeze.“Stacy?”Josh.I stare at the door for a moment before opening it.He stands in the hallway, his expression unreadable.“Can I come in?”I hesitate, then step aside.He walks in and closes the door behind him.“What?” I ask.“You tell me.”I fold my arms across my chest. “Why were you looking at my bag downstairs?”His brows pull together.“No I wasn't.”“You were.”Josh sighs and runs a hand through his hair. “I don't know what you think you saw, but you're wrong.”“Then why did you look like that when you saw me come in?”He doesn't answer immediately.That si

STACYI can't breathe.I don't want to breathe.His lips capture mine in a warmth, breathtaking embrace, our bodies collide and my heart skips a beat. It’s even more perfect than I imagined, His hand cups my cheeks, moving my head in directions he wants me.His tongue grazes mine, the feeling is fo

STACY“Are you coming for the party tonight? They say it's going to be the biggest one of the semester!” Nika chimes excitedly as she scrolls through her phone. Her gaze shifts, and her frown dips. “Oh right, you don't do parties.”“Exactly!” I reply as I shove the last textbook down my backpack. “
