Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation Are you pretending?
_Amelie’s POV_Matteo dragged me out of the room before I could even process what just happened.His grip on my wrist was tight, but not tight enough to hurt. No matter how much I tried to break free, he refused to release me. “Matteo!” I called out as he dragged me, trying to pull my wrist out of his grip. But it was of no use. Where was he taking me to? I needed to see Nico. Why couldn't be understand that? “Let go,” I snapped, twisting, but he didn’t.“Not until you calm down,” he said, pushing open the door to a different room. “You’re scaring the nurses.”There was no one else in the room, luckily, just us two. I turned ito face him, hands folded in front of me. I was standing between the wall and Matteo, conscious of how close we were. Did he drag me here just to tell me to calm down?.“Calm down?” I repeated, staring at him in disbelief. “Matteo, he forgot me! He doesn’t even know who I am!” How could he tell me to calm down when Juco remembered everyone except for me.
Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation Lost him
_Amelie’s POV_I hadn’t moved from the chair outside his room.Not once since he miraculously came back to life. I thought if I did, something was going to happen, and I was trying to prevent that. Hours had passed since the chaos, since the world nearly ended for me and then didn’t.Now it was just quiet.Too quiet.Nico lay behind the glass, pale but alive. The steady beep of the monitor was the only thing keeping me sane.I could still hear the echo of it in my head.Beep. Beep. Beep.Proof of life.It was better than nothing. Better than him being dead. I’d lost count of how many cups of cold coffee I’d left untouched. I didn’t even know what time it was anymore. My hands wouldn’t stop trembling. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw that flatline again.I heard someone walking towards me but I didn’t bother to check who. “Don’t you have work?” Luca’s voice was rough with exhaustion. “You work here, don’t you?”I didn’t turn to face him. My eyes stayed on Nico. “I can’t leave him
Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation Wake up, Nico.
_Amelie’s POV_The floor disappeared beneath me, my knees making contact with the floor. He was dead.. Nico was dead, a flatline.He said he wouldn't leave me again. He said I was going to stay this time. Was all that a lie? Why did he come back if he was going to die like that? Why did he make me start caring again, if he was going to walk away without thinking of me. Why?Why make me hold your hand if you would pull away from me? Then something inside me snapped.Before Matteo could stop me, I was already running — pushing past him, through the door the doctor had left half-open.I couldn't let him leave me. Not after he bulldozed himself back into my life. He wanted to prove to me that I still loved him? He wanted to be prove I still cared?He won. I realized that now. I never stopped loving him, point taken. He should wake up now. “Amelie—” he called after me, but I didn’t care.Wake up, Nico. Please. The smell of antiseptic hit me first, sharp and cold. Then the sig
Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation I’m sorry
_Amelie’s POV_The sound changed.It was small at first — just a shift in rhythm, the steady beeping breaking pattern.My breath caught.For a second, I thought I imagined it.Then it happened again.Beep.Pause.Beep.Faster now.I froze. My heart jumped to my throat. “Nico?”He was waking up. Everything after that happened so fast.One nurse shouted something, another ran in through the ICU doors. I stood there, rooted in place, my pulse thundering.It was happening. Something was happening.Oh, God please. Help him. I turned to Matteo, who had been sitting beside me, and his head snapped up too. He was already on his feet, his voice low but strained. “What’s going on?”No one answered him.They were all too frenzied to stop an answer, but I hoped they would save him. Inside, I could see them — the nurses, the doctor — moving around Nico’s bed. Pulling wires, pressing buttons, shouting instructions I couldn’t hear through the glass.I pressed my hand against it, trying to steady
Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation Hope
_Amelie’s POV_Remembering things Nico had said to me didn't seem like the best thing to do in this situation. But I couldn't stop it. It was another night that came to mind — years ago.I had been angry at him. We’d fought over something stupid, and I had gone into the kitchen, muttering curses under my breath. He followed me, of course, leaning lazily against the counter like he owned the world.“You’re cute when you’re mad,” he’d said.I threw a towel at him. “Shut up.”He laughed, catching it easily. His laugh had that warm, teasing sound I secretly liked but would never admit.“Stop laughing at me,” I snapped.“Then stop making it so easy,” he teased again.I rolled my eyes and turned my back to him, but he stepped closer. The warmth of his body reached me before he did. He whispered something low — something I can’t remember now — and then I turned around and kissed him first.He never stopped reminding me of that.“You kissed me first,” he’d always say, smirking.The memory h
Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation Don't die, please
_Amelie’s POV_When I opened my eyes, I didn’t know where I was at first. For a moment, everything looked white and blurry. The air smelled too clean. The ceiling was too bright. My head felt heavy, like I had slept for days.What was happening? I was currently in my apartment, but why? My brain right now was disoriented. Shouldn't I be at work right now? Then I turned my head and saw him — Luca — asleep on the couch with one arm over his eyes. His jacket was thrown somewhere on the floor.Why was Luca in my apartment?If he was here, does that mean Matteo and Nico…Nico… I sat up with a gasp, my heart dropping to the bottom of my chest. That was when it all came back in a rush.The hospital. The accident. The blood. Nico.My throat went dry.Nico. I looked around slowly, that when when I noticed the tray of food on the table. It looked cold now. Luca had prepared that for me to eat. I hadn’t touched it before falling asleep. I didn’t even remember lying down.Was I that tired
