_Amelie’s POV_

Something cold spread through me.

Matteo—hotheaded, reckless, brash—I could understand. His anger was raw, something I could face head-on.

But Luca? Luca was in control. Luca was patient.

And patience was worse.

Way way worse.

Matteo didn't think things through before he did anything, so his actions wouldn't be as painful as when Luca did.

My breathing felt too loud in the silence that followed. I braced myself for more pain, for another blow, for something—anything.

But Luca doesn’t move.

Neither does Nico.

None of them does anything other than stare at me.

They just let me kneel.

Let the seconds drag.

They let my thoughts turn against me, let the anticipation strangle me more than their hands ever could.

I didn't know what would happen next, what they had planned. And I waited.

I dug my nails into my palms, forcing myself to stay still. I won’t break. I won’t—

“This is how it’s going to be now,” Luca murmured, crouching down in front of me. His hand curled under my

  • 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

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

    _Amelie’s POV_The kitchen was silent when I padded in barefoot. Letting out a soft yawn, I rubbed my hand against my eyes.I needed to drink water and go back to sleep, it was the only thing distracting me from what I called reality.I took another step forward and before I knew it I was tripping over my own foot.“Wha—“ I cried out, barely managing to break my fall.I was glad there was no one here to see my embarrassing fall.Or so I thought.I looked up and I froze.Nico was already here, sitting on the island and watching me. I couldn’t see his facial expression clearly enough, but I could swear I saw a smirk on his face.He had on a black T-shirt and sweatpants, elbows on the counter as he stared at me with a half empty glass of whiskey in his hand.He didn’t move, just watched me.It took me a while to catch myself.My first instinct was to turn around and leave, but I couldn’t. I didn’t owe hm anything. So I continued walking.“Don’t let me interrupt,” I muttered, brushing pas

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Ruin it

    _Amelie’s POV_I told myself it meant nothing.That I could forget the sound of the door creaking, the way Nico’s voice had affected me.That I could pretend.So I did.The next day, when a guard handed me a folded note in Luca’s handwriting, I didn’t flinch. I didn’t ask who saw what, or if the cameras caught Nico slipping into my room. I burned the robe I’d been wearing just to be safe and tucked the silver bracelet into the deepest drawer of my vanity.And I told myself, again, that it meant nothing.I was with Luca now, or about to be with him. Other things didn’t matter. I pushed myself off the bed, making my way to Luca’s office with my eyes on the floor.I stopped in my tracks when a pair of black shoes stopped in front of me and I raised my head up to meet a pair familiar eyes. Matteo. His state was colder than Luca’s and less obsessive than Nico’s. I had no idea why I could tell them apart, but I was. “Matteo…” I started, but he immediately looked away, brushing past me.
