_Amelie’s POV_

I hadn’t expected to see Nico. In fact, for some reason, I wasn’t expecting to see anybody.

It was supposed to be me running right through the door and screaming for freedom.

But things don’t always go the way we want, because he stood right in front of me, blank eyes staring straight at me.

The look on his face told me I was stupid for even attempting to run away.

The knife was still in my grip, the tip just inches from Nico’s throat.

But he didn’t flinch. He just watched me, his dark eyes unreadable.

How did I know he was the one? They all seemed so identical, how was I able to tell the difference between the three brothers?

It was his eyes.

Same shade as his brothers, but the emptiness in them told me all I needed to know.

Nico took a step closer, pressing the blade deeper into his neck.

Just one swipe and he would be choking on his blood, but for some reason that didn’t seem to scare him.

“If you want to leave,” he murmured, voice low, “you’ll have to kill me fir

  • 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

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

    _Amelie’s POV_The night bled into morning before I realized it.The world outside the hospital window had turned a dull gray, the kind of color that made everything feel heavier. I didn’t remember closing my eyes, but at some point, I must have drifted off, sitting in that same chair.When I woke up, my neck ached, and the cup of cold coffee beside me looked exactly like it had six hours ago — untouched.The sound of hurried footsteps made me lift my head.I thought it was another nurse, but then I saw them.Matteo.Luca.They were running down the hall like the world was ending, both of them out of breath. Matteo still had his jacket half open, his hair disheveled like he had jumped straight into the car the moment he got my message.The moment they saw me, they froze.For a second, none of us spoke.And then Luca moved first.He didn’t say a word — just pulled me into his chest.The smell of his cologne hit me first, then the warmth of his arms. It was too much.All the tears I had

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Wake up

    _Amelie’s POV_I dont know how much time had passed. Maybe hours. Maybe minutes. I couldn’t tell.But I stared at the lights, waiting for when it would go off. Lord please, let him be okay. At some point, a doctor walked out, and my heart nearly stopped.“Doctor,” I said, standing up quickly. “How is he?”I stated at his face as I waited for him to reply. I wanted him to say Nico would be okay. I wanted him to say he as out of danger and was merely sleeping. I wanted him to say something that would give me the hope I wanted now. So I waited with my fingers crossed. The man looked exhausted. His gloves were streaked with blood — Nico’s blood.“He’s alive,” he said. “For now.”For now? My stomach twisted. “What does that mean?”Wasn't he out of danger? How severe was his injuries? Oh God. “He suffered a severe head injury. We managed to stabilize him, but there’s swelling in the brain. He’s in a coma.”The floor fell away beneath me and for a moment my legs almost gave up. Co

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

    _Amelie’s POV_The next day started like any other.Flu cases, a few accidents, the usual steady hum of movement through the hospital corridors.The cab I entered had driven past a guy on a skateboard, and few minutes after I checked in, he came in with a broken bone. The human life seemed so delicate. But life became easier this way for me— being surrounded by noise. The constant beep of monitors, the rolling carts, the sharp click of nurses’ shoes against tiled floors. It kept my head busy enough to not think about everything else.About Elias.About Nico.About the space between them that I couldn’t fill no matter how hard I tried.I told myself this was what I needed. Normalcy. Routine. Something that made sense.If I busied myself so much in the hospital, I wouldn't have to think about anything. So I kept my head down and focused on my rounds. Patient after patient, file after file.By noon, my feet ached, but the ache was better than silence.And it was definitely better than
