Amelie’s POV

I sat stiffly on the edge of the bed, the leather collar digging into my skin as I fought the urge to rip it off.

I have never in my life been as restless as I am right now. Not even when I was getting married to the man my father had chosen for me.

The collar around my neck was a reminder of what I was now.

‘A pet’

The word left a bitter taste in my mouth and I wanted nothing of it.

But I didn't have a choice.

I had been sitting here for what felt like hours, waiting.

Waiting for the next command. The next humiliation. The next battle.

Because I knew that whatever it was they had in store for me, was going to be one of the hardest battles I had ever faced.

After what seemed to be forever, the door finally creaked open.

My heart dropped as I waited in anticipation for who it was.

Miss Rebecca entered first—a small, sharp-eyed woman who had been in the mansion since I was first brought here.

I didn't know who she was or what her role here was, but I didn't bother to ask

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Choice

    _Amelie’s POV_I woke up with a jolt, my eyes roaming around the room as I tried to figure out why I had woken up in the first place. And that was when I heard it again… the sound of metal.It was a soft click which was followed by the door opening.My entire body tensed. No part of me could move without me screaming. My hands felt detached—raw, destroyed, useless. The pain from yesterday hadn’t faded. It had taken root in me, humming through my blood like a second heartbeat.I hadn’t even known when I had lost consciousness. The pain was too much for me to bear, I had to pass out. I watched as Silvio stepped inside. He looked Calm and Composed. He was dressed in the same black gloves and tailored shirt as if yesterday never happened.But I knew it had. My fingers were proof of it. “You didn’t use the blade,” he said, eyes flicking to where it lay untouched by the wall. “That’s good. Means there’s something still alive in you.”I didn’t answer. Couldn’t. My lips were dry and crack

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Pain

    Amelie’s POVI don’t remember when I started screaming.Only that I stopped hearing my own voice long before I stopped feeling the pain.The man didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t smile. He didn’t gloat. That somehow made it worse.His silence was more deadly than any other thing that I know.He introduced himself as Silvio. “I work in truth,” he said, like that was a job. Like that made him an artist.I didn't know why he was here, what he was here for. Until he opened the metal case slowly, letting me see everything inside. Pliers. Hooks. A blade with a serrated edge. Cotton. Alcohol. Rusted things and shining things and things that didn’t look like they belonged in a toolkit, or a hospital, or anywhere that made sense.But they were, staring right at me. At first, my eyes widened. Surely he wouldn't be using all those on me… right?“Why are you here?” I asked, trying to stop my voice from shaking. I couldn't let him see how scared I was. Wouldn't let him think he had broken me.

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Torture

    Amelie’s POVI should have known he knew what I was up to the entire time.Every breath. Every lie I tried to stitch together with trembling fingers. Santiago wasn’t fooled by trembling.“You’re sweating,” he said lightly, swirling his drink. “Why?”I straightened my back. “It’s warm.”The weather felt cold right now, but I was still sweating. He didn’t look at me. He was watching the dark liquid circle in his glass like it was more interesting than me. “Strange,” he murmured. “It’s always cold in this house.”I stayed silent. Anything I said would be wrong.Any small movement could lead to dire consequences. I was sitting on a time bomb that was just about to go off. “Sit,” he said, gesturing to the armchair across from him.My legs didn’t want to obey, but they did. I lowered myself slowly, carefully, every movement rehearsed in my mind a dozen times before I acted it out. Like prey pretending it wasn’t seen.I could still feel the gun at the back of my head and I knew any form of

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Home was hell

    _Amelie’s POV_I didn't realize how quiet the world could get until the car stopped in front of my father’s estate. The engine shut off and the driver waited patiently for me to leave. The silence that followed was so absolute, it felt like the world itself had taken a deep breath and was waiting to see if I would survive this return. I highly doubted the chances of that.I couldn’t move at first, my hands were clenched in my lap and my fingernails bit into my palms, drawing out blood. The driver didn’t say anything, he just occasionally stared at me through the rearview mirror.After taking in a deep breath, I pushed the door open and walked out. Even though I had a few days to prepare myself. Even when I gave myself a whole load of prep talks on the plane as I made my way here, my hands still shook in fear.You can do this Amelie. What’s the worst he could do? I wish I hadn’t asked that. The iron door closed shut behind me, startling me. There is no turning back now. The man

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Revenge

    _Amelie’s POV_Luca wanted to punish me. That much was obvious.But he didn't do it the way Matteo did. He didn't do it the way Nico did. He did it his way. And it was ruthless. I was surprised when a maid came with a message for me, Luca wanted to see me in his office. And I thought he wanted to finally hear me out, maybe if I explained he would listen. But little did I know of his true intentions.I stood at the door of his office, unsure whether I was expected to sit or kneel or disappear altogether. I didn't mind disappearing from the face of the earth right now.Luca didn’t look up at first—just kept writing something in a small black notebook. His pen scratched softly against the page, the only sound in the room. That, and the heavy weight of my breath.What was I to do now? He had called me into his office and now he was ignoring me? I shifted my weight from one foot to the other, waiting patiently for him to speak. “Close the door.”His voice was calm. Detached.I did

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Your place

    _Amelie’s POV_Luca didn’t say another word to me.He just turned and walked away.My heart fell as I watched his back go out of sight, the sound of my blood rushing filling my ears. I didn’t even realize I was holding my breath until I nearly choked on it.I should’ve run after him. I should’ve screamed, explained, done something. But I just stood there—frozen, humiliated.I didn’t even know what I was going to say if I tried to explain. He had watched it happen, he saw me kiss Nico. So what explanation do I have to give to him?Behind me, Nico exhaled. “He needed to see it.”My head whipped around. “Shut up.”I was so close to raising my hand to him, so fucking close. But I knew it was my fault as much as it was his. “Are you happy now?” I asked, shoving his chest. Nico raised a brow, that stupid calm on his face again, like this was all part of some game. Like I was just a piece on the board.He hadn’t moved an inch when I shoved him. “Isn't this what you wanted?” I shoved hi
