_Amelie’s POV_

I stirred at the sound of my door creaking open.

My body tensed before my mind fully woke up. Someone was in my room.

It had taken me so long to fall asleep and when I finally did, someone decided to sneak into my room.

My body didn’t hurt as bad as it used to, so I was able to move without much pain.

I sucked in a breath, my fingers inching toward the lamp beside my bed.

If I can grab it before they get too close, I’d be able to defend myself.

Hopefully, I will be able to knock

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

    Amelie’s POVI woke to the sound of metal.Not footsteps, not doors—metal. Chains dragging, rattling, clanging against something hard. The noise burrowed under my skin, yanking me from a shallow, restless sleep. My eyes fluttered open, sticky with exhaustion, my head pounding as though Raphael’s gun still pressed against my skull.I wasn’t in the woods anymore. But some part of me wished Raphael had left me in there.But no, the room was bigger than what I had seen previously. High ceilings. Bright lights overhead, cold and artificial, glaring down so sharply they burned my eyes. It was sterile, stripped of comfort, but not empty. The air smelled of sweat, iron, and something acrid, like oil. My body lay on the cold floor, limbs stiff, wrists free but raw, the skin around them cut and red from ropes.And then I saw him.Raphael.He sat like a king on his throne, a plain chair elevated only by the way he occupied it. Black shirt rolled to the elbows, slacks crisp, his posture leisurel

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

    _Amelie’s POV_The house was never quiet anymore.Not the soft, tense quiet of whispered threats and loaded guns. Not the kind that made my shoulders stiff and my heart beat too fast.This was different.This was the loud, chaotic, beautiful kind of noise that came from two children arguing over who stole whose socks while their father pretended not to hear a single thing.A scream came from the living room and I almost groaned. “Athena,” I called from the kitchen, trying to sound stern while stirring a pot on the stove. “If you touched your brother’s sketchbook again, I swear—”“I didn’t touch it,” she yelled back, offended. “Adonis is just dramatic.”“I am not dramatic,” Adonis shouted in return. “You drew a moustache on my drawing!”“It improved it.” Athena shot back like that was even better. I closed my eyes and smiled.Five years ago, this life would have felt impossible. Unreachable. Like something meant for other people—normal people—who weren’t born into blood-soaked legaci

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   May be the end.

    _Amelie’s POV_The house was quiet that early evening, warm lamplight spilling across the living room as Luca, the triplets, Arnold, Camille, and Liana had settled into a rare, peaceful movie night. It had been a normal thing now for Camille and Arnold to come over to ours along with Nico and Matteo and Liana. I said ‘come over to ours’ because Luca had gotten a penthouse for just us both. He said we needed a new place for just us since we would be building a family of our own. The twins were due any day now, and my stomach felt impossibly heavy, a constant reminder that every step, every movement, had to be measured.Yes, twins. I found out I was carrying not one but two babies. Liana wanted to check the genders but I said no cause I wanted it to be a surprise. I still felt like I wasn’t ready to bring children into this world, but Luca kept reminding me that I was. I didn’t want to carry a child for my selfishness, I wanted to bring them into this world for their sake. I lou

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   Almost the end

    _Amelie’s POV_The morning of the wedding came quietly, almost impossibly calm considering the storm of chaos that was usually our lives. The sunlight spilled gently into the room, highlighting the diamond on my hand, and I felt its weight—not just physical, but the promise it carried.I stood in front of the mirror, my fingers trembling slightly as I adjusted the delicate lace of the gown Liana had insisted would be perfect for me. I wasn’t used to being the center of attention, or the kind of vulnerability that came with standing in front of people and declaring love out loud. My stomach fluttered, partly with excitement, partly with nerves that refused to calm.Liana hovered nearby, gently tugging at a stray strand of hair. “Breathe, Amelie. Just breathe,” she murmured. “It’s just a few people. Nothing can go wrong.”Camille appeared on the other side of me, holding a tiny, embroidered handkerchief, her smile warm and steady. “You look stunning,” she whispered. “And Luca… he won’t

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

    _Amelie’s POV_After a few hours, the house had finally gone quiet.Quiet enough that I could hear myself think… which, apparently, was a terrible idea because all I could hear was my own heartbeat pounding in my ears.Everyone else had gone to sleep—or they are doing something else.Liana had left with Camille an hour ago after forcing me to drink a chamomile tea that tasted like sadness.Matteo had gone upstairs muttering about “assembling the crib before sunrise.”Nico had stationed himself near the stairs like a guard dog who didn’t trust the universe.And Luca?Luca had been everywhere except here with me.He had been pacing, whispering orders, texting doctors, calling security, sending someone to baby-proof the entire house even though the child wasn’t even the size of a bean yet.I wanted to tell him it was low-key too much, but I didn’t have the mind to. But eventually… eventually even he disappeared somewhere upstairs.And I was alone on his massive bed, staring at the ceili

  • Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation   A baby

    _Amelie’s POV_If someone had told me a few weeks ago that wedding planning would involve more screaming than gunfire, I would’ve laughed in their face. But here I was—standing inside a ridiculously fancy dessert boutique with glass counters, lace curtains, and too many pastel colors—listening to Liana mutter because a macaron wasn’t “wedding enough.”“This one is pink,” she said, side-eyeing it like it had offended her ancestors. “Pink isn’t sophisticated. It screams baby shower.”I snorted. “Liana, we’re literally here for taste testing. Not solving world hunger.”I really didn’t matter what color they were as long as it tasted nice. But Liana had other plans. She ignored me completely, picking up a gold-topped cupcake like she was evaluating diamonds.We’d spent two hours deciding between tiramisu and panna cotta, and honestly? My stomach hurt from eating too many samples. But not in the fun way.Not in the normal way.I pressed my hand against my abdomen subtly.Liana noticed. Sh

In too-soft blankets and the unfamiliar weight of safety pressing down on me like a lie.For a second, I couldn’t tell where I was. The light through the curtains was dim—morning, maybe? Or evening.
