Roman stood outside his mother’s suite for a long moment before knocking.

He hadn’t slept.

Anger had burned itself out sometime before dawn, leaving behind something heavier—confusion, grief, a gnawing sense that the ground beneath his feet had shifted and might never settle again.

He knocked once. Firm. Respectful.

“Come in,” Salima’s voice called from inside.

Roman opened the door and stepped into the sitting room. Salima stood by the window, dressed immaculately as always, a silk robe wrappe

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Stepbrother   Chapter 184 - Bernard’s Secret - II

    No one moved.Salima stayed where she was. Victor's hand rested on the back of the nearest couch. Roman remained standing, arms crossed, feet planted like he was bracing for a storm."I'll stand," Roman said.Bernard nodded slowly. He lowered himself into the chair instead — not out of weakness, but because his legs had started to feel less reliable than he wanted to admit."Five years ago," he began, "I was preparing to leave Eleanor."Salima's breath caught."I had the papers drawn up. I had a plan. I was going to divorce her and come back home to you. Both of you.” He looked at Roman. “No more hiding. No more secrets."He paused, his eyes finding Salima's."I was going to choose you. Finally. Out loud. In front of everyone."The room was silent."But Eleanor found out." Victor's jaw tightened. "Of course she did."Bernard nodded grimly. "She confronted me. Not with tears — with threats. She told me that if I left her, if I humiliated her in front of Atlanta's elite, she would dest

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Stepbrother   Chapter 183 - Bernard’s Secret - I

    The world stopped and for a moment, Salima didn’t breathe. Her hand remained on the handle, fingers tightening around the metal as if it were the only thing holding her upright.Standing on the other side of the door was Bernard Thorne.Bernard!The man she had mourned. The man she had buried. The man she had lost five years ago. Now standing on her porch like his presence meant nothing.His eyes rested on her face with a strange softness, like five years had not passed at all.“Hello, Salima.”His voice was exactly the same.She couldn’t speak. Her lips parted, but no sound came out. She took one slow step back, staring at Bernard like she was looking at something impossible.Roman frowned from the living room. “Mom, is everything okay?”No response. Something in her silence made him straighten.Bernard’s face softened at the sound of Roman’s voice. “Is that him?” He asked. “Is that our son?”Salima still didn't speak. Her eyes were glistening with tears now.Victor moved toward the

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Stepbrother   Chapter 182 - Ghost At The Door

    The living room was dim. Roman sat alone on the leather couch, a bottle of wine in one hand, a half-full glass on the table in front of him.He wasn't drinking fast. Just slow, measured sips—like he was trying to feel something or not feel something. Even he wasn't sure anymore.The bottle had been full an hour ago.Now it was nearly empty.His phone buzzed against the table.He glanced at it. Tessa.His jaw tightened though his expression did not change.He reached over, declined the call, and set the phone face down before taking another drink.Across the room, Davin and Alec watched in silence."I know he said he's good," Alec murmured, low enough that Roman couldn't hear. "But honestly? I don't think it's true."Davin shook his head slowly. "Yeah. I can see that."He paused, watching Roman pour another glass."This divorce is obviously hard on him," Davin continued. "I've just... I've never seen him like this before."Alec nodded. "True. He really loved Tessa.""He did," Davin agr

    The room was too quiet.Tessa sat on the edge of the bed, her back straight, her hands folded in her lap. She wasn't crying anymore. She wasn't doing much of anything really.Her eyes were fixed on the window.Outside, Atlanta blurred past—cars she couldn't hear, people she couldn't see, a city that had stopped making sense hours ago. She watched it all like it belonged to someone else's life.His life.Roman's city. Roman's world. Roman's rules.The memory played behind her eyes without permission. His hand closing around her arm. The way he lifted her off her feet like she weighed nothing. The slam of her body back into the chair. The pen shoved into her trembling fingers.‘Sign it.’ Romam’s voice echoed in her ears. Her throat tightened.‘Sign the fucking papers, Tessa.’A single tear slipped down her cheek. Then another.She wiped them away—slow and mechanical. No sound. No sob. Just the motion.Then she went back to staring.The window didn't change. The city didn't stop.Neithe

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Stepbrother   Chapter 180 - Do It Myself

    Grayson lounged back against the arm of the sofa, his phone balanced in one hand as he scrolled absentmindedly. He wasn’t really paying attention at first, just flicking through one video after another—until something caught his eye.A video with a familiar name written boldly on the screen. He stilled.The video replayed automatically, the voice of a young woman spilling through the speakers—bright, animated, and far too excited for the kind of story she was telling.“—Is there trouble in paradise? Because sources are saying that what went down at Blackwood Hotels yesterday wasn’t just business as usual…”Grayson’s posture shifted, his brows drawing together as he sat up properly now, his attention fully locked in.“…Roman Blackwood and Tessa Blackwood have officially called it quits after a dramatic confrontation. Reports claim that Tessa was allegedly forced into signing divorce papers—”A video of Tessa crying and yelling popped up.The girl’s tone dipped into something even more

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Stepbrother   Chapter 179 - What’s Going To Happen Now?

    Tessa stepped out of the boardroom, her eyes red and swollen, tears still slipping down her cheeks.She didn’t slow down. She didn’t look back.She just walked, almost running in fact.The hallway blurred past her as she moved quickly toward the elevators, her breath uneven, her hands trembling at her sides.“Tessa?” She stopped.Davin and Alec were standing a few feet ahead, clearly on their way back to the room. Davin’s brows pulled together immediately when he saw her face.“Tessa, are you alright?” he asked, stepping toward her.That was all it took.She let out a bitter, broken laugh, shaking her head as she looked at him.“Are you serious right now?” she said, her voice cracking. “You called me here.”Davin frowned. “Tessa, you need to understand—”“You caused this,” she cut in, her eyes flashing through the tears. “All of you did.”Alec stiffened slightly at that, but said nothing.Davin tried again, quieter this time. “Tessa listen please—”“Just leave me alone,” she said, st

    The front doors blew open before Klara’s hand even touched them.Cold morning air swept in, curling through the foyer like a cursed spirit.And there he stood.Grayson.Tall, crisp suit, shirt open at the throat. Calm, collected, and far too comfortable in a house that didn’t welcome him with open

    Tessa stirred beneath the heavy silk sheets, a low ache pulsing between her thighs every time she shifted.She was sore, deliciously, brutally sore, the kind of ache that reminded her exactly how deep Roman had been, how hard he’d taken her on that cold kitchen counter just hours ago. Her skin sti

    Klara tore through her room as if she were trying to rip the walls apart. Clothes hit the bed, the floor, the open suitcase—none of it mattered. Her hands were shaking, not from sadness, but from pure, blistering rage.She yanked a dress from the hanger so hard the hook snapped.“Two months,” she m

    Tessa padded into the kitchen, rubbing her eyes, one hand on the edge of the counter as she reached for a glass. She stood barefoot in one of Roman’s oversized T-shirts, as she poured the cold water into the glass.The air smelled faintly of the chamomile tea Klara had been drinking, now spilt acr
