Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 60: Parking Lot Ambush
Gunshots shattered the night air like thunder in the Beverly Hills parking lot, bullets whizzing past Elara’s head as masked men swarmed from the shadows like demons unleashed. Jax moved like a force of nature, shoving her behind the car while returning fire with deadly accuracy. His body shielded hers completely, taking the exposed position as bullets pinged off metal inches from where they crouched. The elegant gala night had turned into a battlefield in seconds, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder and fear as screams echoed from the building behind them.Elara’s heart hammered wildly, her hands gripping Jax’s shirt as he fired again, dropping one attacker with a precise shot. The danger felt immediate, personal, the masked men clearly sent by the syndicate to finish what they had started. Jax’s protectiveness radiated off him in waves, his body a wall between her and death as he fought like a demon to keep her safe. The parking lot had become a killing field, and survival fel
Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 59: Vault Secrets
The private family vault in Beverly Hills felt like a tomb wrapped in luxury, its dim lighting casting long shadows across marble floors and steel doors that hid decades of dark secrets. Elara stepped inside with her heart in her throat, the air thick with dust and the metallic scent of old money mixed with betrayal. Sienna waited at the center of the vault, elegant and dangerous in a sleek black dress, her smile never reaching her eyes as she gestured to stacks of old documents spread across a polished table. The documents promised answers about the empire, but Elara could feel the trap closing around her with every step she took deeper into the dimly lit space.Jax stood guard outside the heavy vault door, his presence a constant anchor even as the distance between them felt like miles. Sienna’s voice was smooth as poisoned honey as she revealed the first documents, showing transfers and meetings that painted her parents as players in a deadly game they had tried to escape. The reve
Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 58: Coma Confession
The hospital corridor blurred into streaks of sterile white as Elara and Jax raced toward Kai’s room, hearts pounding like war drums in their chests. The news of his awakening had hit like lightning, pulling them from the shadows of their latest hideout into the glaring lights of danger once again. Nurses rushed past them, faces tense, as alarms blared from Kai’s room ahead. Elara’s breath came in short, desperate gasps, fear for her friend mixing with the constant terror of being watched, being hunted.Jax’s hand gripped hers tightly, his body a solid wall of protectiveness beside her as they burst through the door. Kai lay pale against the white sheets, machines beeping frantically around him. His eyes fluttered open when he saw them, filled with urgent pain. The room felt too small, too bright, every second stretching into an eternity as they waited for the words that could change everything.Kai’s voice was barely a whisper, cracked and weak from the coma. “Sienna…” he managed, th
Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 57: Therapist Deception
Elara’s fingers trembled as she dialed Dr. Elias Grant’s number, the phone pressed to her ear like a weapon she wasn’t sure how to wield. The therapist’s smooth voice answered on the second ring, sending chills racing down her spine like ice water. “Elara. I’ve been expecting your call.” His tone was calm, almost soothing, but it carried an undercurrent of something darker that made her skin crawl. The safe house felt too quiet, too still, as if the walls themselves were listening to every word.Jax stood close behind her, his body radiating tension as he listened in. Grant’s words flowed like poisoned honey, hinting at knowledge of their every move, their every secret. Elara’s heart hammered wildly as she confronted him about the hidden cameras, about the recordings that had spread like wildfire. The therapist’s smooth denial only made her blood run colder, each carefully chosen word feeling like another layer of the web closing around them.Grant’s voice dropped lower, almost intima
Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 56: Interrogation Heat
The police station smelled of stale coffee and desperation as Detective Lena Torres led Jax into the dimly lit interrogation room, the heavy door slamming shut behind them like a tomb sealing. Elara waited anxiously in the cold hallway, heart hammering against her ribs as she paced the worn linoleum floor. Every second felt like torture, imagining Jax alone in that room facing questions that could destroy them both. Torres’s voice carried faintly through the door, sharp and unrelenting as she grilled him about the murders, the ports, and every secret they had tried to bury.The tension was suffocating, making Elara’s skin prickle with fear and frustration. She pressed her ear closer to the door, catching fragments of Jax’s low, defiant responses. The interrogation stretched on for hours, each minute stretching her nerves to breaking point. The thought of losing him again, of the system tearing them apart, made her chest ache with a pain deeper than any bullet could cause.Torres’s que
Baited By My Cruel Stepbrother Chapter 55: Bloodied Alliance
Marcus Kane collapsed onto the worn motel couch like a man who had danced with death and barely survived, blood soaking through his expensive shirt and dripping onto the faded carpet. Elara rushed to his side, heart hammering as she pressed a towel against the worst of the wounds on his side. The tech heir who had once swaggered through Beverly Hills now looked broken, his face pale and twisted with pain as he gasped for air. Jax stood over them both, gun still in hand, his body radiating suspicion and barely contained rage at the man who had been both ally and enemy.The bloodied alliance felt like another cruel twist in their deadly game. Marcus had been ambushed by the same men who had gone after Lila, and now here he was, spilling secrets while bleeding out on their floor. Elara’s hands shook as she worked to stop the bleeding, her mind racing with questions about who they could still trust in this web of lies and violence.Marcus coughed up blood as he began spilling more about t

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 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
