The Thorne estate looked more alive than it had in years. Christmas lights twinkled along the pavements and wrapped the old oak trees in the front drive, reflecting soft multicoloured glows across the snow-filled lawn.

Inside, faint instrumental holiday music drifted from hidden speakers—elegant, understated, the kind Eleanor approved of.

Grayson stood in his bedroom, open suitcase on the bed, tossing in a final pressed shirt with casual precision. He zipped it halfway, then reached for a charc

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Stepbrother   Chapter 202 - I’m In

    Roman sat in his car, parked outside his own house.The engine was off. The night was quiet. But inside the car, the only sound was the relentless beep of a call that wouldn't go through.He pulled the phone from his ear and stared at the screen."What the hell Tessa?” He murmured.He had called her seven times today. Fourteen times this week. Dozens of times over the past month.Yet, no response.The line just kept beeping. No ring. No voicemail. Just... nothing.She blocked me.The thought sat in his chest like a stone.He understood things had been difficult between them. He understood she was hurt, angry, confused. But to block him completely? To cut him off without a word?That was more frustrating than he’d like to admit.He groaned and tossed the phone onto the passenger seat.His eyes fell on the items beside it — flowers, chocolates, a small velvet box he hadn't touched. Romantic things. Hopeful things. Things he had planned to give her tonight.Now he just looked stupid.He

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Stepbrother   Chapter 201 - The Painful Aftermath

    The sound of Eleanor's heels against the marble floor echoed through the corridor.She had faced many difficult situations before. Boardroom battles. Social scandals. The return of a dead husband. But this — watching her son be led away in shackles while the world watched — this had to be the most humiliating.She put on her dark glasses and continued down the corridor."Eleanor."The voice stopped her cold.She turned.Salima and Roman walked toward her, side by side. Roman's face was unreadable. Salima's was not.Eleanor exhaled sharply. "Salima. Roman." She adjusted her sunglasses. "I believe you are here to gloat."Salima stepped closer, her shoulders high, her chin lifted. The years between them seemed to collapse into a single moment."Do you remember," Salima said quietly, "months ago... in this very courthouse... you stood there after you tried to lock up my son. And you told me that it was just the consequences of his bad decisions?"Eleanor's jaw tightened. She said nothing.

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Stepbrother   Chapter 200 - The Trial

    The courtroom was already packed by the time the deputies brought Grayson in.The chains around his wrists rattled softly with each step.For the first time in his life, Grayson Thorne looked small.The expensive suits were gone. The arrogance was harder to maintain in a prison uniform. Bruises still lingered along his jaw from the night of his arrest, and dark circles sat beneath his eyes.A murmur swept through the gallery as he entered.Roman watched silently from the front row.Grayson’s eyes immediately found him.The hatred there was instant.Raw and unfiltered.A deputy guided him toward the defence table.On the opposite side of the courtroom sat Eleanor and Liam.Eleanor looked immaculate as always. Perfect hair. Perfect makeup. Perfect posture.But her hands were clenched tightly together in her lap.Liam sat beside her, his expression unreadable.A few seats away sat Bernard.Salima occupied the space between Bernard and Victor.The arrangement hadn’t been planned, but Roma

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Stepbrother   Chapter 199 - Trials And Tribulations

    Roman stood before the mirror, adjusting the cuff of his sleeve. His suit was jet black, crisp and expensive. His watch clicked into place — a gift from his father, years ago, before everything fell apart.He barely recognised himself.Not because he looked different. But because he felt lighter than he had in months.It had been four weeks.Four weeks since the fire.Four weeks since Grayson had been dragged away in handcuffs while screaming threats into the night.And now the day had finally arrived.The trial.Grayson would finally face consequences. And Roman could breathe.The door opened behind him."Hi, Mom," Roman said without turning. "Good morning.”Salima stepped into the room, her heels soft against the carpet. She was dressed in a deep navy dress, understated but elegant. Her hair was pinned back. Her face was calm."Good morning," she said. She walked up to him and reached for his tie. "Let me."Roman laughed. “You know I can do that myself.”“Clearly not very well.” Sal

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Stepbrother   Chapter 198 - The Weight Of Choices

    Tessa sat propped against the pillows, her wrists still bandaged, her arms spotted with healing burns. The room smelled like antiseptic and flowers — too many flowers, brought by people who didn't know what else to do.Daniel sat on her left. Her father, Peter, stood by the window. Gina was curled in a chair in the corner, pretending to scroll through her phone but really just watching."How are you feeling?" Daniel asked."I'm fine," Tessa said. "I've said that three times already.""You keep saying it. Doesn't make it true." Daniel said.“Maybe.” She tried to sit up. “But I’m going to be fine.”“You should just have stayed home,” Daniel said. “Told you not to go see Roman. But you wouldn’t listen. Now see where you end up.”Tessa sighed. "Daniel, please. I don't have the energy to fight with you.""Good. Because I'm not going to fight either." He leaned forward, elbows on his knees. "I'm here to tell you what we've decided."Tessa's eyes narrowed. "We?""Dad and me." Daniel glanced

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Stepbrother   Chapter 197 - Fire With Fire

    "When you said fighting fire with fire, I didn't think you meant literally," Alec said as Roman uncapped the gasoline container in front of him.Behind him, Bernard stood still, arms crossed, saying nothing.Alec leaned against a wall, phone in hand, watching but not interfering.Roman didn't look back. He knew what he was doing. He didn't care.Grayson's cars were lined up in a row in the compound — the black Mercedes, the silver Porsche, the matte grey Lamborghini he never drove but loved to show off. Roman had seen them all before. Had listened to Grayson brag about the engines, the custom interiors, the price tags.None of it mattered now.Roman unscrewed the cap and started pouring.The liquid splashed across the hood of the Mercedes, dripped down the windshield, and pooled on the ground. He moved to the Porsche. Then the Lamborghini.The smell was thick, acrid, and familiar.The same smell Grayson had left after he tried to kill Tessa.Roman's jaw tightened.He finished the cont

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Stepbrother   Chapter 38 - Perfect, He Said

    Roman slipped quietly through the front door.The house was still…the kind of silence that carried weight. Even the clock ticking in the hallway sounded too loud. His tie hung loose around his neck, his shoulders heavy with exhaustion.He stared at his watch. 11:58 pm. “Fuck!” He grunted.He’d prom

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Stepbrother   Chapter 35 - I Do

    “Do you, Tessa Quinn, take Roman Blackwood to be your lawfully wedded husband?”Tessa stood frozen at the altar, every heartbeat louder than the murmurs rippling through the courtyard. The grass carpet felt soft beneath her feet, the scent of lilies hung heavy in the air — everything immaculate, el

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Stepbrother   Chapter 34 - Something Taken, Something Broken

    Roman’s words felt like a slap to Grayson’s face. His eyes quickly reddened in anger, his fists clenched by his side.“Is this a joke?” Grayson whispered. The room fell silent, the only sounds were the clicking of heels down the staircase, and all eyes followed the sound as a figure slowly descend

    Roman stepped out into the courtyard, his palms slick with sweat.“Davin, pick up the fucking phone,” he muttered under his breath, pacing across the gravel. His pulse hammered beneath his skin. If Grayson was truly behind this—if he had Tessa’s friend—then he needed to send a message Grayson would
