Caleb stepped out of the mansion carrying Henry in his arms. Amanda stood by the doorway, her appearance sharp and controlled. She wore a form-fitting black turtleneck beneath a cropped, tailored jacket, paired with dark cargo trousers that allowed swift, silent movement. Her boots were matte and sturdy, their soles making no sound on the marble floor. A slim belt rested around her waist, its buckles discreet yet purposeful. Her long braid was tightly wrapped and secured at the back, not a strand out of place. A small black satchel was slung over her shoulder as she followed behind them toward the parking lot.

The sleek black Mercedes Maybach S680 Guard waited by the driveway, its bulletproof frame gleaming under the morning light. Caleb gently set Henry down, and the boy hurried toward the car, climbing into the back seat. The door closed with a quiet, expensive click.

“Oh boy,” Caleb said, taking two steps back with a smirk. “You’re getting heavy.”

  • Broke Up... Now I Am His Stepfather   CHAPTER 108: BEHIND THE SCENE

    ◈THOMPSON'S MANSION◈“You were right not to move,” Harrison said as he took his seat, loosening his cuff as if the strain had only just left his body. “If you had acted before they did, it would have confirmed their suspicions.”Asher watched him without speaking as Harrison continued. “The auditor pushed harder than expected and didn’t stop at his circle. He requested institutional sponsorship, and that’s where everything broke.”Asher’s gaze sharpened slightly. “Above you.”“Yes,” Harrison said. “The Deputy Director of Oversight Review stepped in first. Then the Inter‑Agency Compliance Council requested briefing authority.”Asher exhaled slowly as his eyes narrowed into Harrison's.“Desperately...” Harrison confirmed. “They wanted to know how sealed matters tied to you never surfaced. How legal insulation held for years without fracture and how outcomes aligned so cleanly, assuming corruption.”“And you.”“I did what I’m positioned to do,” Harrison said. “I challenged the process an

    Amanda’s eyes narrowed the moment she stepped into the room, her gaze cutting from Caleb to Ruby and then to Henry, who stood beside her, and then she turned and walked out with a calm that felt sharper than anger.Caleb’s chest tightened as the door closed behind her. He looked at Ruby, who lingered as if he wanted to explain himself, his mouth opening only to fail him. Ruby took a few hesitant steps, then quickened them, breaking into a jog as he hurried after Amanda.Silence dropped heavily in the room.Caleb exhaled and turned to Henry, who stood still for a beat before moving closer. Henry sat on the edge of the bed, his shoulders tense, and Caleb followed, lowering himself beside him.“So that was the reason he volunteered to help Amanda,” Henry said quietly, staring ahead. “No matter how hard she tried to be here.”Caleb let out a short scoff, more tired than amused. “Let’s not talk about that now,” he replied, his voice firm but controlled.“Okay,” Henry said, stretching the w

    Asher had left earlier for a meeting, leaving Caleb alone in his study, reviewing the documents Amanda had organized that morning. Tall windows stood open, letting in the quiet warmth of the afternoon, and he was midway through marking a page when a knock sounded at the door. “Come in,” Caleb said, not lifting his head at first, then looking up sharply when Ruby stepped inside instead of the person he expected. He straightened, surprise flickering across his face as his gaze moved briefly to the hallway behind Ruby. “Where is Amanda?” he asked, his tone even, though something beneath it had tightened as he closed the file on the desk. Ruby shut the door gently behind him, his expression bright in a way that felt misplaced in the subdued room. “She is with Henry,” he said, clasping his hands briefly before letting them fall to his sides. “They are training in the west courtyard, and she asked me to help you with whatever you needed. Sorry, I volunteered to help.” Caleb paused, the

    Derek froze just inside the doorway, his eyes locking with Jesse’s as Jesse halted in disbelief, his chest tightening while awe and longing settled in his gaze.Derek rushed across the room and pulled Jesse into a hug so tight they both inhaled sharply, hearts hammering as they clung to each other. For a long moment, they stayed like that, breathing each other in, eyes fixed on one another, until their lips met in a deep, urgent kiss.The sound of the front door opening made them pull apart at once, their bodies stiffening as Lorenzo stepped in, his presence filling the living room with an authority that pressed heavy against the air.Derek and Jesse turned to him instinctively, catching the corner of his mouth lift in a brief smile that vanished almost immediately. Behind him, Tonia appeared, moving with a lethal grace that drew the room into stillness, and for a heartbeat, no one spoke.Derek stepped forward towards Lorenzo and bowed slightly. “Good day, Sir,” he said, his voice ste

    “You need to calm down,” Harrison said quietly as he closed the door behind him, the lock settling into place as the room fell silent. Asher remained still for a moment, then took the leather chair with controlled ease, his presence steady and unyielding.Harrison sat opposite him. “I’m here because something you buried has been reopened,” he said, his tone direct. “A sealed matter from years ago. One that carried your involvement from the beginning.”Asher’s gaze did not shift.“The closure was deliberate,” Harrison continued, his words flowing without pause. “The process was engineered to end quickly and cleanly, insulated legally, structured to withstand inspection. It worked because you made sure it did.”Asher leaned back slightly, his expression unchanged. “Until it didn’t.”“Until someone reopened the path...” Harrison said. “By alignment. The details from one case began to mirror another, and once that connection surfaced, it couldn’t be unseen.”Asher’s jaw tightened slightly

    “No, Dreon,” Jaden breathed, pushing him back gently even as Dreon’s mouth lingered at his neck, warm and insistent, his face half buried there while his hand traced slow, familiar paths over Jaden’s bare skin.Jaden wore only thin pajamas, no boxer beneath, the fabric riding low on his hips, exposing the curve of his waist and the teasing line of his body.“You’re avoiding me again,” Dreon said, disappointment slipping through his voice when their eyes met, the look between them heavy with want they were both pretending not to feel.“I’m not, Dreon,” Jaden cut in softly, his left hand resting Dreon’s thigh, grounding and intimate all at once. Dreon’s gaze dropped to Jaden's hand before lifting again, darker now, searching Jaden’s face for something he was not giving.“It’s been a week,” Dreon said, the edge of anger creeping in as he turned away. “A full week, and you won’t let me feel nor touch you.”“Dreon,” Jaden murmured, withdrawing his hand slowly, his eyes following the moveme
