What did I just hear?

That was my exact thought, but I couldn’t process the whole thing because her voice cut through the room like a whip crack.

“Ace, baby?”

At first, I didn’t turn. The name wasn’t mine, and the tone wasn’t directed toward me. But something in it, something in the way she said it. It was bright and melodic, and it pulled my attention anyway. The girl who stepped into the living room looked like she’d just walked out of a movie scene that had been waiting for her. She was that beautiful.

Michael was still laughing beside me, like her arrival was the funniest thing he’d seen all day. Scott raised his brows in pleasant surprise, grinning broadly as he draped an arm casually around my shoulder in an innocent, fatherly gesture that somehow made everything feel even more surreal.

But Ace… Ace didn’t move.

He stood there like a statue carved into the moment, frozen so completely that I swore even the air around him held its breath.

“Ace?” she said again, louder this

    My throat tightened instantly. “Ace, don’t.” “Why not?” His voice rose as he stepped forward again. “Why can’t I say it? Why can’t I tell you the truth instead of pretending I’m happy with someone I don’t want?” “Because…” I backed away once, then stopped myself. “Because it doesn’t fix anything. It doesn’t change anything.” He blinked. “How can you say that?” “How can you not see it?” My voice trembled, but this time I didn’t try to hide it. “Ace, I told you—I don’t want to speak to you anymore. What you did to Courtney doesn’t magically erase what you did to me.” His face fell. “I never lied about loving you.” “You lied by omission,” I whispered. “You let me think there was no one else. You let me fall deeper into whatever this is... whatever we are, without telling me you were with someone else the whole time.” “Sabrina—” “Don’t.” I shook my head, tears threatening again. “Just don’t.” For a long moment he didn’t speak. He just looked at me like I was the ground under his

  • Craving My Stepson   Chapter 109

    I stayed frozen in the shadowed corner long after Courtney’s footsteps faded down the hallway and Scott’s voice chased after her. I didn’t move, didn’t think. My body felt glued to the wall, as if the plaster itself refused to release me. My heart was still pounding in my ears when I heard slow, uneven footsteps. Ace’s. He was coming this way. I panicked and almost ran. The urge shot up my spine like electricity, but my legs didn’t move in time. Ace rounded the corner, shoulders tense, jaw tight, eyes unfocused with leftover anger and heartbreak. He almost walked past me. Almost. But then he stopped mid-step, turned his head slightly— And saw me. His eyes widened. “Sabrina?” I swallowed hard, unable to hide anymore. He stepped closer. “What are you doing here?” He sounded confused… and tired. I tried to speak, but nothing came out. My throat felt locked shut. His stare drifted down my body, then back up to my face, staring at me as if trying to understand why I was rooted

    I sat at the dining table with my hands folded tightly in my lap, so tightly my knuckles felt cold. The table was already set with roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and a bowl of salad, the usual meal the chef made when Scott wanted something simple. Yet nothing about tonight felt simple. It felt heavy. Tense. Awkward in ways that stabbed quietly under my skin. Michael had left, thankfully, and now only Scott, Ace, Courtney, and I sat around the long table. The seats felt wider than usual, the room quieter, even though Courtney’s voice carried its usual cheer. “So my last semester was really interesting,” she said excitedly, cutting a piece of chicken as she spoke. “We had this weekend retreat at a cliffside villa. Like, a literal cliff. And one of my classmates almost fell off because she was taking pictures!” Scott laughed, amused, genuinely invested. “A cliff? That sounds dangerous. Why would they pick a place like that for students?” “Oh, trust me!” Courtney said, ro

    Scott stared at me for a moment, as if trying to gauge whether my excuse made any sense. I kept my face deliberately scrunched in embarrassment and pain, forcing out a tiny hiss like my toe still throbbed. It must have worked. The tension drained from his shoulders, and he let out a long breath, but it wasn’t one of relief, and not suspicion. Then he stepped closer and gently pulled me into his side with a protective arm. “Oh, sweetheart…” he murmured as his hand rubbed my upper arm. “You poor thing. You have to be more careful.” My heart twisted painfully. His concern was real. He genuinely believed me. Somehow, that made the lie feel even heavier on my tongue. Scott looked over my head straight at Ace, his expression hardening instantly. “Ace,” he barked. “You’re a grown person, and you’re still acting like a child. How many times have I told you to be careful around her? She’s smaller than you. You can’t just drag her around like that.” Ace lowered his head, guilt flickering

  • Craving My Stepson   Chapter 106

    Ace still stood in front of me, his face red where I had slapped him, his chest rising and falling like he’d just sprinted across the whole house. I wanted him gone. I wanted him erased. I wanted him anywhere but near me—because every second he stayed, my heart splintered just a little more. “Leave, Ace!” I yelled, my voice cracking. “I just told you I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t ever—” “Sabrina, stop—” “Leave! Get away from me!” I didn’t care how loud I was. I didn’t care if the whole world heard me. I wanted him to feel even a fraction of what I felt. The betrayal clawing up my chest so fiercely it hurt to breathe. But then Ace’s eyes widened in panic. “Sabrina—quiet, you’re going to—” “What? Get in trouble? GOOD—” Then he moved fast, way faster than I expected. His hand covered my mouth, and before I could push him off, he pulled me down the hallway and shoved us into the nearest room, shutting the door behind us. My back hit the wall. His hand stayed over my mouth.

    Courtney settled even more comfortably beside me on Ace’s bed, tucking her legs beneath herself like she planned to stay there for hours. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she kept staring at me. “So,” she said, shifting closer, “how long have you been dating Ace?” My heartbeat quickened, and I forced my face to remain calm, composed, and neutral. Before I could even think of a response, Ace—sitting cross-legged on the floor, controller in his hand—snapped his gaze upward so fast it made my breath catch. “Oh!” Courtney gasped and laughed nervously, waving her hands. “I didn’t mean that in a weird way. I mean—obviously you’re not dating him... I know that. I just meant… You know… how long we’ve been together.” She pointed to herself, then to Ace. “Me and him.” Right. She and him. “Sorry,” she said again, still smiling. “I phrased that terribly... but—like... I knew you were gonna ask me that, so I had to blurt it out first.” I swallowed and nodded, trying not to let my voice tr
