_Amelie’s POV_

I didn’t cry. I couldn't.

Not when the gravel dug into my knees. Not when the gun jammed and Luca growled at me like I was a waste of time. Not even when my palms split open on the staff.

I kept it together.

Ignoring the burning Paul that trailed up my arm, ignoring the way my thighs screamed and my legs shook.

Even walking was so hard for me, my legs almost giving up beneath me.

Right up until I made it back to my room.

I closed the door and let out a breath, pressing my back against the wood. My arms were shaking.

My legs? Useless. I slid down slowly until I hit the floor, body aching in places I didn’t even know could hurt.

Every muscle screamed.

I wanted to give up on this right away. Let the tears run freely.

But I didn’t cry.

Because that would make everything I’d just endured meaningless.

Luca’s demeaning stare, his ruthlessness as he hit me over and over all in The name of training me.

Instead, I peeled off my sweat-drenched shirt and stared down at myself.

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

    _Amelie’s POV_I’m dying.Those were the words that echoed in my head as I slipped in and out of consciousness.The world kept tilting all around me.Hot, cold. Blinding light. Shadows. Then nothing.I came to with a gasp, lungs burning and my body soaked in sweat. My mouth opened and I attempted to speak but nothing came out, except for a low wheeze.I couldn’t see.Or maybe I could, but everything was wrong—tilted, too bright, too loud.I couldn’t make sense of anything in front of me. There were voices—muffled, arguing. My name. I heard my name.Someone was talking about me. “…melie… she’s not—fuck, she’s burning up—”Who had that voice? Nico?I blinked hard, but the ceiling wouldn’t stay still. It kept moving around, warping. At some point it felt like the ceiling had dropped to my head and I was carrying the entire thing. I reached out, fingers twitching against cool sheets, and felt a hand grab mine tightly.“Don’t move,” someone whispered. Matteo.Or was it Luca? No. Matte

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Dying.

    _Author’s POV_The triplets stared as she collapsed, each of them frozen in shock.Just like that. One second she was standing—staggering, but upright—and the next, she crumpled like her body had finally had enough.They had never been as scared as they were right now.It took just a split second for Nico to react and he caught her before her head hit the floor. “Amelie?!”Her eyes were open—but empty. Her lips parted. A soft sound came out, like the start of a word—“Oh… shit.”Then nothing.“Amelie!” he shook her, hard enough to snap a neck. “Look at me—open your fucking eyes!”She didn’t.She didn't respond to anything. “Fuck—Matteo—”“I’m here.” Matteo was already moving, already crouched next to him, checking her pulse, his hands fumbling. “Her heart’s still beating—fast. Too fast. She’s burning up.”They didn't know what was wrong with her, but they knew they had to get her to a doctor, and fast. Luca stood frozen, his eyes locked on the blood soaked into her clothes. His jaw

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Everything went dark

    _Amelie’s POV_I don’t know how long I remained on the floor. My chest heaved up and down as I struggled to breathe, wincing in pain as I forced out ragged breaths.I don’t know how long I can take this for.Hot tears streamed down my cheeks, my lips parting.Some part of me wanted to go over to the triplets and let them know. But I couldn’t.At least not right now.I knew I was only putting myself through suffering.But there was a stubbornness inside me—one I couldn’t turn off. A part of me wanted them to have peace. Just a few more days. Just one more moment where they didn’t have to carry the weight of what Santiago had done.Maybe before I die I’d find a way to survive this. Or not. But I cleaned the blood off the bathroom sink again. Scrubbed at the porcelain until it shone. My fingers trembled as I rewrapped the gauze over my ribs. Every nerve in my body screamed, but I bit down and endured.By the time I stepped out into the hall, I had fixed my face into something neutral.

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

    _Amelie’s POV_ The warmth in the estate was different now, not what I was used to. It was quiet footsteps and soft-spoken apologies, the gentle clatter of a spoon in a porcelain bowl, Nico adjusting the curtains to keep the sun off my face. It was Matteo making sure my tea was the right temperature before handing it to me, and Luca watching me with a stare that no longer held knives—but regret. They didn’t leave me alone. Not even for a second. It was suffocating and sweet all at once. I’d been home for two days, but it felt longer. Like my pain stretched time itself. I didn’t mention the blood. I didn’t mention the ache that wouldn’t leave my lungs or the heaviness in my limbs that no amount of rest could fix. I told myself it was trauma. Exhaustion. Healing. I didn’t want to believe it was whatever Santiago had put it in me. I told myself I could survive it—whatever Santiago had done to me. Whatever poison was buried in my veins. I just needed one more day. “Are y

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Killing me

    I woke to heat.Not the weather. It was inside me.It clung to my skin, wrapped around my chest, soaked into the gauze binding my ribs. My body felt like it had melted into the bed, too heavy to move, too weak to try. Every breath scratched down my throat like broken glass.Why had I woken up again? I was confused for a few seconds.Then I heard them.Voices—raised and angry.“Why wasn’t she waking up?!” Matteo’s voice. Sharp, panicked. “She had a fever all night, Luca—she was burning up!”“We did what we could,” Luca snapped back, colder. “The doctor said she was stable—”“She wasn’t stable! She was unconscious!”“You think I didn’t see that?” Nico this time. “You think I slept while she lay there shaking?”I didn’t move.They didn’t know I was awake.I had a fever last night. I didn’t know that. That explained the burn that I felt inside me. I kept my eyes half-closed, listening as their guilt leaked into every corner of the room.“You saw what they did to her,” Nico said again, qu

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

    _Amelie’s POV_The world came back to me slowly.My eyelids were heavy. My body was heavier. But the silence was soft this time, not cruel. And I wasn’t cold. There was warmth pressed against my skin. Sheets. A blanket. A pillow beneath my head.This wasn’t my father’s house.That’s right… he had sent me back and I was with the triplets now.Alive.I opened my eyes to find three shadows standing over me.My lips parted to let out a scream. Santiago was here. It took a second for their faces to become clearly then I relaxed.It was just the triplets. Nico was seated closest, his brows furrowed in fierce concentration as he dabbed a cloth against my wrist. I didn’t even feel it at first—just the motion. He was cleaning my wounds. Gently. Carefully. As if I would shatter if he pressed too hard.Matteo stood nearby, a tray of food in his hands. Soup. Water. Some fruit is peeled and sliced. He was watching me like a hawk—not like he expected me to collapse, but like he’d never seen me b
