ELYSIA.

The drive to the event venue was soaked in deafening silence and the low purr of the engine. I fumbled with my nails, resisting the urge to bite my lips.

Guilt ate me as fast as a bunny ate a carrot but I didn't even know how to start speaking to him, what to say, or even how to say it.

And before I knew it, he had already stopped the car. I blinked out of my trance, staring at the serene mansion in front of me. Built in a typical old-money style, that oozed elegance and charisma, ye

    ZANE. I could feel her glare on me until she left the living room. Finally earning my privacy, I picked up my phone and dialed the number of my personal assistant, Blake. "How is it going?" I asked the second he answered the call. "The body has been taken care of, and I've made sure the manager is settled." He replied. I nodded in satisfaction. "Good. And I need one last favor. Have a fresh set of female clothes delivered in the morning, before I leave for the office.""Yes, sir." He said, and I ended the call. I left the couch and went to the guest room, where Elysia was. I opened the door and stood in the door frame. I observed her figure underneath the duvet; it looked like she was asleep. I walked over to the switch beside the door and flicked it off. The only light that lit up the room was the one beside the bed; it was dim, but bright enough for her to move around the room without difficulty. Just when I turned to leave, I heard her voice. "Why did you kill him?" Her voic

    ELYSIA. Shaken was simply an understatement for my reaction. I have no idea how I was taken away from that place, but when I was finally able to breathe, I noticed we were already in the car. And on our way home. Home. I wanted to be there so much. I wanted to hug Mom until I felt better. I wanted to be away from... His presence. His side. The pictures kept appearing, vividly—the fresh blood, his wide eyes, his lips that were parted in shock. I'm sure even he didn't believe he would be killed that way. It was unexpected. It was silent. My brows creased when I noticed Zane took another route. It wasn't where I was familiar with. I wanted to ask where I was going, but it was either that I was too shocked that my tongue was literally tied and unable to form a word, or I was just too scared to even speak to Zane. Or maybe it was both. I stared out the window. I wanted to unwind the car glass, but my whole muscles felt stiff. It was impossible to even move a finger. I watched

    ELYSIA. I woke up on Monday morning, feeling more energetic than usual. I've never been a morning person, but today felt different. The reason felt mysterious to me, or rather, I didn't want to dwell on it. I arrived at the office feeling more hyper than usual; even Valentino, my superior, looked stunned to see me this excited. I couldn't blame him, since I realized Zane was my boss, I always arrive at work looking gloomy. "Good morning, Mr. Valentino." I beamed. "Good morning, Elysia. You're... Wow. You look stunning, by the way." He raised the cup of coffee he was holding. "Thank you.""Dahlia just left, the CEO wants you in his office in..." He checked his wrist watch. "Twenty minutes. I think he's not in the office yet.""Oh." I smiled and nodded. "Alright." "I sent a few files to your email, by the way, just help me track the social media campaigns and give me some feedback on them. I want it before you go over to the CEO's office.""Noted." I adjusted my seat and turned on

    ELYSIA. "Let me see," Zane said, it didn't sound like a request. It sounded more like an order. I turned sideways, my breath hitched when I felt his fingers graze my cheek, it was on the spot Ryan had slapped, and it stung. But right now, the only thing I could feel was the tickles the tip of his fingers brought to my cheeks. I felt my cheeks heat up, and I swallowed hard. I wanted him to take his fingers off, wad it because I was flushed at what happened? I was unusually jittery at the moment. I squirmed slightly, and he pulled his hand away, finally. "That looks bad." His brows were creased in a deep frown. "Does anywhere else hurt?""No." I shook my head; it was an impulsive response. He held my hand and took me in his car. When he opened the door, the elbow grazed my arm, and I winced. He paused, stared at the arm he just nudged, and held my hand again. The sleeve of my shirt had a cut and blood had stained the cloth. "You just said--""I... I had no idea. I just felt it." I

    ELYSIA. "Why don't you want to tell me how it went?" Nova kept tugging my shirt. She was one persistent pest! "How is it supposed to go?" She found out I had gone on dates with Zane twice. At first she had flared up that I kept it all from her but her curiosity was stronger than her anger. And for the past five minutes, she's been begging me to tell her everything that happened during the date. What else was supposed to happen? "Do you want me to say I kissed him?""It doesn't sound bad." She smirked. "You annoying little asshole!" I seethed. "It wasn't bad. That's all I can say. You should know I went there against my wish." "Sure." She rolled her eyes. "So boring." She tutted. It was my day off, and I had planned to go to my apartment in West Hollywood in the evening to get a few more of my stuff. Nova was supposed to follow me, but she had to cancel at the last minute for something important. When I arrived at West Hollywood in a taxi, it was almost nightfall. The lights fr

    ELYSIA. He left me in the middle of nowhere, I waited for minutes but he never came back. I ordered for an Uber after I noticed the weather wasn't friendly and Zane would not return. I wanted to get angry, but then he was my boss, wasn't he? He had every right to do what he did right? The rain started the minute I arrived home, it was a close call. Until this minute, I still have no idea why I cried when I got home.And it's better left unattended to. I got dressed in a pink sweater with a small cutout at the front that showed a little bit of skin, and a white high-waisted skirt with a small slit on the right thigh, a little pink purse that I placed my phone in before leaving my room. Mum stopped when she saw me, she was standing a few feet from the stairs. "Are you headed somewhere?""Yeah, to Nova's.""Alright then, send my regards." She smiled."Maybe when I'm back, you'll tell me about your honeymoon." "Deal." She grinned and kissed my forehead, stroking my hair gently afte

    ELYSIA. That rude man from the day before... He's Mr. Steele's son? His hazel orbs were on me lazily, and he had an indifferent expression. Should I say the universe is truly against my happiness in my mom's home? Why would this man of all people be my stepbrother? Slight annoyance was starting t

    ELYSIA. "Cheers!" Nova shrieked, and we clinked our glasses; the clattering sound blended in with the reverberating music that filled our ears. Blue and red lights spun around, adding to the fun of the club. People roamed around, both drunk and sober. "Finally, you bagged a fucking job!" Her voi

  • CLAIMED BY MY STEPBROTHER    CHAPTER 06

    ELYSIA. I blinked, frozen on my spot as I stared at Zane who stared back at me coldly. I didn't know what to do or how to react. Should the ground just open up for me to fall? Everything, all of the memories came rushing back to me like they had been waiting for this moment. How he had spilled c

  • CLAIMED BY MY STEPBROTHER    CHAPTER 05

    ELYSIA. Reluctantly, I got into the car. Partly because I was sure I wouldn't be able to get a taxi anymore and mostly because it's already embarrassing enough that my enemy had to see me like this, and the other people I'd passed with tear-stained cheeks and puffy eyes?I didn't ask how Zane knew
