She was sold into marriage to Scott Wendell, a ruthless and powerful billionaire more than twice her age. A man she's never met. A man who claimed her as payment for a debt she never owed But the real problem wasn't the vows she took or the marriage document she signed. It's his son. The revelation that Ace Wendell, the one boy in school that she's always fantasized about, the boy she's secretly loved from afar, is now her stepson. Now living under the same roof, Sabrina finds herself torn between duty to her marriage and the dangerous pull toward the stepson who has wanted her just as desperately.

But then he sighed again and shook his head. “Yes, you’re right. I should have said that.” Watching Scott and Ace go back and forth while I stayed frozen in my seat was nothing less exhausting. They had bonded before but my decision to reveal my secret affair with his son had reopened an old wound. But I couldn’t stay silent for long. “Well, actually,” I said quietly. The two of them went quiet as their heads turned to me in a timely order. “Yes, Sabrina?” Scott muttered. “We’ve had sex,” I answered. “Not once, not twice.” Ace jumped in. “You remember the dream you told Sabrina... the
I had said it. I had finally said it out loud that I loved someone else. But saying that wasn’t enough. I swallowed, my throat burning. “There’s more,” I said quietly. Scott didn’t speak. He just looked at me, his jaw tight, his eyes were dark. “I love Ace,” I said. The words landed harder than anything before them. A sharp sound escaped Scott’s chest—half a breath, half a laugh that held no humor. He turned his head slowly, almost mechanically, toward his son. Ace stayed frozen, his shoulders tense, his fists clenched at his sides. “Can you explain to me what Sabrina is saying?” Scott said. My heart slammed painfully against my ribs. “No. I will.” Scott’s gaze snapped back to me. “I loved him before I ever married you,” I continued, my voice trembling now but refusing to break. “Before I even knew he was your son. Before I knew anything about you.” Scott’s brow furrowed. “You already know that we go to the same school,” I said quietly. “I crushed on him. Hard. I knew his
“Vasectomy?” I whispered to myself. But I wasn’t the only one who kept repeating that word over and over and over again. My mum, Ace, Mary, and some of the other staffs in the room kept saying it. “What do you mean,” I asked, my voice cutting through the soft murmurs of everyone, “you had a vasectomy?” Scott turned to me slowly, his expression calm. “Yes, Sabrina. Exactly what it means, dear.” “When?” I pressed. “How long ago?” Ace leaned forward in his chair, eyes fixed on his father. Even the staff along the walls seemed to be interested in the answers to the question I had asked. Scott inhaled, then said quietly, “It’s something I did long ago. After my wife died.” The room shifted. “After Elsie passed away, giving birth to Ace,” he continued, his voice calm but unmistakably heavy. “I had it done not long after the funeral.” My heart clenched. “I loved her,” he said simply. “I still do. And I knew without any doubt that I never wanted another woman to carry my child. Not
Scott didn’t say anything for a while. He just watched me while I finished with my last boxes. That’s when he walked toward me slowly, like he was afraid that one wrong movement would make me disappear or even more angry than I already was. I stood by the bed, one hand resting on the zipper of a half-packed suitcase, bracing myself for another argument, or another plea I didn’t have the energy for. When he reached me, he didn’t grab my arms or block my way like I had expected. Instead, his hands settled gently at my waist. The touch startled me. I really wasn’t expecting that to happen. “Sabrina,” he said quietly, his forehead almost touching mine. “If I can prove to you that I’m not responsible for the baby your mother claims she’s carrying... would you stay?” I froze as I thought about it for a few quick seconds. My first instinct was to pull away, to snap back with something sharp and defensive. But the way he said it softly, stripped of arrogance, made my throat tighten. I
A few hours later... Scott returned. I hadn’t told anyone he was coming back. I didn’t tell Ace, or Mary, or any of the other staffs in the house, not after what I’d heard that morning, after the way their voices had curled around my name like something rotten, I hadn’t felt generous enough to of
We got to the house, and to my surprise, it wasn’t as huge and glamorous as the house we all lived in as a family. This one was more classic comfort and definitely not what I expected for a house meant for parties. But at least it’s a good place to stay while I keep my distance from Scott and my mo
The game had been going for what felt like hours. The bottle of vodka in the middle of the circle was nearly empty now, and my stomach swirled with a hot, dizzy burn. I’d taken shot after shot, each one stronger than the last, my protests drowned out by the cheers and laughter of the group. I coul
It happened. I can’t believe I’m even able to form the words in my head, but it happened. The way his hands held me, the way his eyes locked into mine as if I were the only thing he saw, the way every wall between us seemed to crumble in the heat of the moment. It was real. I finally got to feel h
