EZRAN’S POV

I shouldn’t have said that. The moment the words left my mouth, I felt a subtle shift in the atmosphere.

Lucian didn’t react—not visibly. He never did. But something changed in his expression.

“I see.” That was all he said.

Just two words but they lingered long after he walked past me and disappeared down the hallway.

I remained on the couch, staring at nothing. What exactly did I say wrong?

I frowned slightly, replaying the moment again.

“He seems nice. I could try having another f

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    ANNOUNCEMENT

    Hello, everyone.I'm sorry for not posting any chapters for some days, but I have a valid excuse. My account had a little bit of problem and I couldn't find my ID to rectify it. I didn't even expect this account to be up and running in a short time but thankfully, I have the best Senior Editor in the world. She helped me track my ID and also fixed the issue. Now, I'm back and I'm in a really good mood. It's really great to see my dashboard again. 💃💃Since we're past the problem, I'll be dropping the next batch of chapters by Saturday evening and of course, it'll be in bulk to make up for the delay. Also, I'll be changing our book cover to something else due to the new policy. But not to worry, the new one would be pretty too.Thank you all for your patience and support. Please continue to like (I barely see them 😩), comment, review (we still don't have enough ratings to draw in new readers 😩), share the book link, unlock chapters massively and support the author with gifts. I also

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN — MOVING ON

    EZRAN’S POV.Lucian replied under someone’s comment because of me? Gawd, the universe had a weird sense of humor. Barely a couple of days ago, I was crying over Lucian Banks. Now I was apparently trending on social media because of a profile picture Jeanne reshared.I could see my remaining bit of private life flying out of the window.Erik rushed into the room with his phone in hand, shrieking.“Lucian liked and replied to someone's comment under Jeanne’s post and now, your follower count has shot up from 200 to a little over 2k!”“Maybe he accidentally liked it.” I mumbled, biting my lips.The look Erik gave me was so judgmental that I nearly laughed.“Lucian Banks accidentally liked a comment?”“Yes.”“Do you even hear yourself, Ezran?” he chuckled. “If he accidentally liked it, then he must have accidentally replied too. Or maybe, someone hacked his account, or maybe, something possessed him.”I huffed. “Stop it, Er.”“You should stop forcing yourself to spew rubbish first, Ezran.

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX — MOST ATTRACTIVE BANKS

    EZRAN’S POV.When I finally woke up, sunlight was pouring through the curtains. For several seconds, I just stared at the unfamiliar ceiling until a loud knock echoed through the room.“Wake up, sleeping beauty.” I knew it was Erik and his usual shenanigans, so I ignored him. The door opened anyway.“Good morning, sleeping handsome.”He said again and I lifted my middle finger without opening my eyes.“Wow.” He sounded impressed. “You’re healing already." “Go away.” I said, covering my head with the duvet as I went back to sleep.“No.”I groaned louder as I sat up on the bed. “Since you won’t let me go back to sleep, what time is it?”“Almost eleven.”My eyes snapped open and I jumped out of the bed, cursing. “Fuck, Erik. We have exams today!”“Relax, bro. I’m just pulling your legs. It’s seven o'clock.” Erik said, dropping onto the chair beside the desk. “Even though you slept through lunch and dinner yesterday and scared shit out of me, your stupid biological clock knows when to wa

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE — LETTING HIM GO 

    EzRAN’S POV.For a moment, my heart betrayed me and I almost believed. As though hearing him ask me to stay would somehow magically erase everything that happened on the beach or it would stop hurting. It hurt because I hadn’t spent the entire night crying myself to sleep because I loved a man who loved somebody else.I tightened my grip around the handle of my suitcase.“I have exams.”Lucian stared at me disbelievingly. Neither of us spoke, silence stretching between us. Then he took a step forward.“You don’t have to leave like this.”Like what? Heartbroken, humiliated or embarrassed? Is that what he meant?I swallowed. “Like what?”“Without talking to me.”I almost laughed in self deprecation. What were we going to talk about? The fact that I confessed and he didn’t know what to say, the fact that Leo existed or the fact that I was stupid enough to mistake kindness for love?“There’s nothing to talk about.”“That isn’t true.”“Maybe for you.” The words came out colder than I int

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER SEVENTY FOUR — RUNNING AWAY 

    EZRAN’S POV.I didn’t stop walking when Lucian called my name. My vision blurred from tears and my chest felt like it was being ripped apart.I just kept moving quickly, one step at a time. The villa slowly came into view and I pushed the doors open before anyone could stop me.My breathing was uneven, my hands were trembling and my heart was completely shattered.I rushed upstairs and slammed the bedroom door shut behind me, the sound echoed through the room.Everything crashed down at once, dawning on me.I slid down against the door and buried my face into my arms. A broken laugh escaped my throat.God, I was pathetic. I had actually confessed to Lucian and somehow managed to humiliate myself in the process. He didn’t even reject me, but I already understood my place.Lucian never loved me. To him, I was just another younger sibling he was meant to adore or something like that.I had spent a long time convincing myself that I had no attraction for him and when I finally decided to a

  • Dangerous Cravings: Sinfully Tangled With My Stepbrother    CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE — HEARTBREAK

    EZRAN'S POV.I didn’t sleep, not even for a second. The moment Charlyn finished telling me everything, my brain refused to shut down.Every single memory involving Lucian replayed itself over and over again—the teasing, the smiles, the beach walk, the head pat, the way he agreed to come on this trip because I asked, the way he had looked at me inside his room.And now? None of it felt special anymore, because Leo existed. A person Lucian had loved for years, a person he had chased for an entire year and had nearly destroyed himself over.How was I supposed to compete with that? I wasn’t. That realization hurt more than I expected.….Morning arrived too quickly and I dragged myself downstairs, towards the dining room, feeling exhausted. Breakfast was already set when I walked in. My eyes froze on a particular person.What was Leo doing here? And why was he sitting as if he didn’t know his coming here had upturned my entire world overnight.“Morning.” I mumbled as I dragged out my seat

    A brief pause. “Name?”“Rowan Lyons.”….The next morning, I left the house earlier than usual. The drive to the office was uneventful, the city already alive with movement as we passed through the main roads. By the time I stepped into the building, everything had already settled into routine.M
