CLAIMED BY MY STEPBROTHER CHAPTER 43
ELYSIA. I didn't realize how ruined my mood was until Nova brought food. "I'm not hungry," I muttered before she could say anything. "And you're telling me that you're fine?" She creased her brows. "I am." I nodded. "Elysia, what did you have for dinner?" She asked. "Nothing." "Did something happen at the office?" I looked at her. I knew Nova; she wouldn't stop bugging me if she didn't get an explanation. I told her everything, Brielle. Apart from the part where Brielle had told me about my feelings for Zane and how I found out that she wasn't very far from the truth. I wasn't really attracted to him. Why would I be, if not for his mouthwatering body and insane facial features... Hell, I was now listing out the reasons I found him attractive? However, apart from these, he's not all that. He's even dangerous; I seem to have forgotten that he murdered someone right in front of me, like the person wasn't even human. He's a dangerous person, and as Brielle said, definitely not

ELYSIA. In the restaurant, Brielle didn't bother hiding her disdain for me. And honestly, I couldn't care less. Even during our drive here, she kept glaring at me through the rear-view mirror. It was the kind of glare that dug holes into your soul. Yeah, it was that intense. She tried all she could to get Zane's attention; she was trying hard, so hard that it got me feeling ashamed for her. For someone looking this hot and untouchable, she was too cheap, throwing herself at someone who wasn't paying much attention to her. Compared to yesterday, Zane acted more distant. He had most of his focus on his phone. "What are you doing with your phone that's stealing your attention?" Brielle whined. I scoffed. Why's she acting like a pick-me? "I have something I'm taking care of.""Can I see what it is?" She strained her neck, but Zane pulled the phone away from her reach. I was seated across from them. "Eat up, your food is getting cold." Zane pointed. "I could say the same for you

ELYSIA. I don't know why but I loved how the clothes Zane got for me looked on me. I felt... Sexy in it. And honestly, it was my kind of clothes but I didn't think Zane would want me to wear them to the office, until today I mean. After breakfast, we went to the company. We had a meeting in less than thirty minutes. "After the meeting, what else do I have in my schedule?" Zane asked once we arrived at the office floor. "A lunch meeting with a collaborating real estate company." I replied, looking through the tab."Good, you'll be going with me." I nodded with a small smile. "I'll just drop these real quick and we'll head to the meeting room.""Noted sir." He went into his office while I grabbed my stuff to get ready for the meeting. I ran my fingers through my curly locks, adjusted the Bayonetta glasses I had on. It perfected my overall chic professional look.I smiled, took a few pictures and quickly sent them to Nova. Just immediately, Zane walked out of his office. "Okay, I'm

ZANE. I watched her cheeks go red; she'd been caught red-handed. She scoffed, rolling her eyes and masking the embarrassment of being caught. "Why would I be jealous of a lady coming over to meet my brother?" My smile froze, my eyes twitched at one word—one-word reference. Brother. "I'm only your stepbrother, sweetheart." I rubbed her jaw; she sucked in her breath sharply, and her eyes fell on me. "What's the difference?" She tried to sound bold, but her voice didn't match her intentions. "That word, step," I replied, trailing my fingers from her jaw down to her white, smooth neck.Smooth. Milky. Spotless. Shiny collarbone... I pulled away from her before I stared too deeply. Before I acted impulsively, even if I didn't know what and how the impulsive step would be. "Staying out with Brielle late wasn't my intention," I muttered. There was no need for any explanation; I expected her to say that, but she didn't. Even if she wasn't staring at me, she still listened. I also didn

ELYSIA. After their little hugs, Zane turned to me. "She's a friend.""An old dear friend." Brielle corrected, the corners of her lips curling up. Did I forget to mention how expensive she looked? Deeply sophisticated, she could get the attention of literally everyone in a room without even speaking. Her presence was the domineering kind. Maybe it was the way she was dressed. Grey colored suit that was a little tight on her, making her cleavage pop out for fresh air, and grey pants. Black YSL heels. Maybe it was her lipstick, deep plum, or the classic and elegant makeup. She was literally too attractive. I swallowed, ignoring the slight feeling of inferiority that was starting to creep in. Zane took her into his office, and she kept giggling until he shut the door behind her. A tight sigh escaped my lips. I couldn't explain how I felt, and it wasn't a feeling I wanted to dwell on. I focused on work instead. .After half an hour, they finally came out, and the smile never left

ELYSIA. Before Zane returned from his little surprise visit to wherever he had gone, it was almost lunchtime. His expression was unfathomable; I just kept staring at him until he stopped beside my desk. He stared back without a word; it was intense. Much more intense than mine, and it took me less than a minute to pull my eyes away, mostly because his stare was making me feel funny again. "Stop staring," I muttered under my breath; it was barely audible, but Zane scoffed with a smirk. "You're the one who's been staring since I got here. I thought you wanted us to get into a little staring competition." I rolled my eyes. "Where have you been?" "Nowhere you have to worry about, doll. Aren't you ready to have lunch?"I nodded. "I am." "I'll be out in a bit. You can go before me to the parking lot." He went into his office before I could say anything else. I left my desk after arranging my hair and retouching my face. Nova was already waiting at the restaurant; she was insistent o

ELYSIA. In the next two days before Mom's wedding, I was choked up. I helped Mom out with her fittings, organized the seat charts, helped out with choosing flowers, went for cake tastings, I was practically buried in busy schedules, phone calls, and checklists. Nova helped out as much as she coul

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

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

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
