Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 30: Mind Games
Dr. Elias Grant’s coastal office felt like a beautiful cage as Elara sat across from him, the Pacific crashing against the cliffs just beyond the glass walls. The therapist smiled that same calm, knowing smile that always made her skin crawl. Today his questions cut deeper than ever, slicing straight into the raw wounds of her family’s secrets. “Your parents weren’t simply murdered,” he said softly, leaning forward. “They were executed. And the order came from someone very close to you. Someone who smiled at family dinners while planning their deaths.”Elara’s stomach dropped. The room seemed to tilt. Grant continued, voice smooth as poisoned honey, revealing messages, recordings, and financial trails that pointed directly at Sienna. But there was more. He hinted that Jax had known parts of the plan long before the murders. That her stepbrother had made deals in the shadows to protect himself. Every word felt like a knife twisting deeper into her already shattered trust.“You’re lying
Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 29: Alliance Fractures
Marcus Kane stood in the doorway of the rundown motel room like a ghost from their old privileged life, rifle slung over his shoulder and eyes locked on Elara with an intensity that made the air feel too thin. Blood still stained the bandage on Jax’s shoulder from the sniper attack, yet here was Marcus offering help with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Diego is coming for you both tonight,” he said, voice low and urgent. “I have men. Safe houses. Let me protect her.”Jax’s reaction was instant and violent. He shoved Marcus back against the doorframe, teeth bared. “You think I’m letting you anywhere near her after the shit you pulled?” The jealousy radiating from Jax was palpable, thick enough to choke on. Elara stood frozen between them, heart racing as two powerful men fought for control over her safety and her body.The tension crackled like live wires. Marcus’s gaze kept sliding to her, soft and concerned in a way that felt dangerously tempting after Jax’s constant storms. For
Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 28: Wounded Possession
Blood soaked through Jax’s shirt in a dark, spreading stain as he staggered into the motel room, one hand pressed tightly against his shoulder. The sniper’s bullet had only grazed him, but the wound still bled freely, turning his fingers crimson. Elara’s heart slammed against her ribs at the sight. She rushed forward, catching him before he could collapse, her hands trembling as they met warm, sticky blood.“Jax, oh God,” she breathed, guiding him toward the bed. His face was pale, jaw clenched against the pain, but his eyes still burned with that fierce, possessive fire even as his strength wavered. She helped him sit down, peeling away his ruined shirt to reveal the ugly gash. The sight of his blood made her stomach twist violently. This man who had claimed her body so many times now looked vulnerable, and it terrified her more than any killer ever could.She grabbed towels and the first aid kit with shaking hands. Outside, the night felt too quiet, too still, as if the world was ho
Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 27: Mean Girl's Secret
Vee Hale stirred on the worn motel carpet with a broken groan that cut through the heavy silence like a knife. Her once-perfect blonde hair was matted with dried blood, and her designer top hung in shreds from the brutal attack she had barely survived. Elara knelt beside her, heart hammering as she pressed a fresh cloth to the deep gash on Vee’s forehead. The mean girl who had tormented her for years now looked fragile, her usual venom replaced by raw fear that made Elara’s stomach twist.“They’re going to kill me,” Vee whispered, voice cracking as her swollen eyes met Elara’s. “Sienna… your aunt. She runs the blackmail ring. Not just photos. Videos. Secrets from the ports that could destroy half of Beverly Hills. She threatened me when I tried to back out. Said I knew too much about the night your parents died.”Elara’s blood ran cold. Every word landed like a fresh wound. The woman who had offered her comfort at the funeral had been playing a deadly game all along. Jax stood over th
Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 26: Rogue Moves
Elara slipped out of the motel room before dawn, heart pounding like a war drum as she left Jax sleeping. The betrayal from his notebook still burned like acid in her veins, and she refused to sit around waiting for him to decide her fate. Lila waited two blocks away in a stolen gray sedan, engine running, eyes wide with the same reckless determination Elara felt. “You sure about this?” Lila asked as Elara slid into the passenger seat. “Jax will lose his mind if he finds out.”“Let him,” Elara replied, jaw set. “I’m done being his bait. I’m done being everyone’s pawn.” The car pulled away into the early morning fog, carrying them toward answers Jax had refused to share. Every mile away from him felt like both freedom and terrifying risk.They met Kai at an abandoned warehouse on the edge of LA, the air thick with dust and danger. Files spilled across a rickety table as Kai revealed fresh horrors. Sienna wasn’t just involved. She had been pulling strings behind several port shipments,
Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 25: Betrayal Burns
Elara stormed into the dimly lit motel room with fire raging through her veins, the printed pages from Jax’s notebook clutched in her fist like a weapon. The door slammed behind her so hard the walls shook. Jax looked up from cleaning his gun, his hazel eyes narrowing at the fury written across her face. She threw the papers at his chest, watching them scatter around him like accusations.“You were never going to stop using me,” she spat, voice trembling with rage and heartbreak. “Every kiss, every time you were inside me, you were still planning to dangle me like bait. I’m not your fucking pawn, Jax!”The air crackled between them. Jax stood slowly, muscles coiled tight, the notebook pages scattered at his feet like broken promises. For the first time since the murders, real fear flickered in his eyes, not of the killers, but of losing her completely.“You read it all?” His voice was dangerously low as he stepped closer. Elara backed up until her thighs hit the edge of the bed. Tears
Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 4: Motel Heat Rising
Rain hammered the thin motel roof like it wanted to drown the whole world. Elara sat cross legged on the edge of the bed, staring at the greasy Chinese takeout containers between them. The black envelope from the funeral still burned in her mind. That photo of her sleeping in Jax’s arms felt more v
Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 3: Funeral Flames
The sun beat down mercilessly on the manicured lawns of the Beverly Hills cemetery, turning the black dresses and suits into ovens. Elara Voss stood beside the twin caskets, her legs threatening to give out beneath her. The air smelled of fresh flowers and expensive perfume, but underneath it all l
Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 2: One Bed in the Shadows
The motel room smelled like old cigarettes and damp carpet, the kind of place Elara Voss had only seen in movies about people running from their lives. Jax locked the door and shoved a rickety wooden chair under the handle with a sharp scrape. He pulled the thin curtains tight, blocking out the fli
Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 1: Blood in Beverly Hills
Elara Voss froze in the doorway of her parents' luxurious Beverly Hills bedroom, her bare feet rooted to the cool marble floor. The coppery stench of blood hit her first, thick and nauseating, before her eyes could fully process the horror. Her mother lay sprawled across the king sized bed, designe
