My fingers kept tugging at the red bodycon dress, trying to pull it lower even though it barely made a difference. The fabric clung to me, and the more I adjusted it, the more aware I became of how out of place I felt standing there.

Tessa noticed immediately, her eyes flicking to my hands before she reached over and brushed them away with a small frown.

“Stop doing that… back straight.”

I forced myself to listen, my shoulders pulling back—and the moment I looked around, it only m

  • Dear Ex, I’m Now Your Stepbrother’s Wife   Chapter 40 - 365 Days to Fall in Love

    Evelyn“Are you nuts?” Damon’s voice thundered across the hall, his patience finally snapping as he turned toward Bianca. His jaw was clenched, and the playful expression he usually wore around me was completely gone. “You literally said you weren't interested in getting married, so what the fuck are you saying now? How dare you come here and ruin my wedding with this stupid stunt?” He took a step toward her, his eyes narrowing as he stared her down, clearly struggling to understand how she had managed to change her mind so quickly.Bianca, however, didn't seem even slightly intimidated. She simply twirled a strand of her brunette hair around her finger, looking almost amused by his anger. “Calm down,” she said, tilting her head. “Why are you getting so worked up? I never said I was going to marry you. I just said I'm very interested in you now.” She gave him a small, almost mischievous smile, as though interrupting someone's wedding to announce her sudden interest in the groom wa

  • Dear Ex, I’m Now Your Stepbrother’s Wife   Chapter 39 - Not So Fake Anymore

    EvelynI had no idea why Bianca's presence was bothering me this much. I kept telling myself it shouldn't matter, that whatever relationship Damon had with her had absolutely nothing to do with me. This marriage was supposed to be fake, after all. There was a contract between us, an arrangement that would last for a year, and then we'd both walk away. That was it. So why was my chest suddenly feeling so tight?“Anyway, I'm off. Congratulations again,” Bianca said, breaking the uncomfortable silence as she turned toward the door. She had barely taken two steps when her heel caught on the edge of the rug. Her body lurched forward, and before she could hit the floor, Damon moved quickly, catching her around the waist and steadying her against him. My eyes widened before I could stop them. His hand was around her waist. Again. Why did that bother me so much? Bianca looked up at him, and something changed in her expression. Her eyes lingered on his face for a second too long, and the s

  • Dear Ex, I’m Now Your Stepbrother’s Wife   Chapter 38 - A Debt from the Past

    Damon“How could you?” Sir Vescari’s voice thundered through the room, his walking sticks striking the floor as he took another furious step toward me. His face had reddened with anger, the lines around his eyes deepening as he stared at me like I had personally betrayed him. “Was this the plan all along, Damon? Did you intend to humiliate me after everything I’ve done for you?”I kept my expression controlled, though the sudden talks of his daughter had thrown an unexpected weight onto my wedding day. “You know today is my wedding,” I said evenly, reminding him of the fact he seemed determined to ignore. His eyes widened in disbelief before he gave a bitter laugh, shaking his head. “Of course. You always want to have it your way.” He tightened his grip around one of his walking sticks, his knuckles whitening. “After everything I did for you, after saving your life, you’re really going to throw it all away just to get married to someone else?” His voice cracked with frustration as

  • Dear Ex, I’m Now Your Stepbrother’s Wife   Chapter 37 - The Wedding Day Bombshell

    Damon“What’s that?” Evelyn’s voice came through the phone, followed by a brief pause. “I’m coming right away.” The call ended before I could ask what she meant, and the second the screen went dark, my entire body went rigid. Lina was still standing there with that irritatingly satisfied expression on her face, the missing envelope resting casually in her hand, and I knew I had seconds at most. I moved without thinking, crossing the room and grabbing her arm before she could react. “What are you doing?” she hissed, but I didn't answer. I pulled her toward the hidden entrance beneath the floor, forcing it open before pushing her down into the underground passage. “Move,” I ordered coldly, and she stumbled forward, catching herself before turning around with a furious glare. “Damon, you can't—” I pushed her farther inside and stepped down after her, my expression hardening as I pointed toward the underground room. “Stay there,” I ordered through clenched teeth, but before I could

  • Dear Ex, I’m Now Your Stepbrother’s Wife   Chapter 36 - The Contract Is Leaked

    Damon“Fuck, that was close,” I muttered under my breath the moment I stepped out of the room, pulling the door shut behind me as I dragged a hand through my hair, my pulse still beating harder than it should have been. For a few seconds, I simply stood there, staring at the closed door while the image of Evelyn inside that room replayed in my head, and the thought that she had been only a few steps away from discovering everything made my jaw tighten. I needed to be more careful. Much more careful. “What the hell is going on with you lately, Damon?” Lina’s sharp voice cut through my thoughts, and I turned to find her standing a few feet away with her arms folded tightly across her chest, her expression filled with suspicion. I ignored her and started walking, but she immediately stepped into my path, forcing me to stop. “Is it really that serious with her?” she demanded, her eyes narrowing as she searched my face. “You’ve never been serious about any woman, so why her? Huh?” I s

  • Dear Ex, I’m Now Your Stepbrother’s Wife   Chapter 35 - A Long Night Ahead

    EvelynI stepped farther into the hidden room, moving cautiously as my eyes slowly adjusted to the dim red light, and the first thing I noticed was the walls, because they were covered with photographs, hundreds of them, scattered across the surface in no obvious order, although the darkness and the strange lighting made most of them too blurry for me to understand what I was looking at, which only made the uneasy feeling in my stomach grow stronger. I moved closer, narrowing my eyes as I tried to make out the faces and details in the pictures, wondering why Damon would have a hidden room filled with photographs in the first place and why he had never mentioned anything about it, when suddenly a familiar voice drifted through the silence behind me.“Missed me so much that you had to come back?” My entire body froze. Slowly, I turned around, and there he was, standing at the far end of the room, dressed in dark clothes with that infuriatingly calm expression on his face.Damon starte

    EvelynI woke up the next morning with puffy, dark under-eyes, the memory of last night sitting heavy in my chest. It wasn’t a blur. I remembered everything. Tessa finding me, pulling me out of Damon’s hands like she already knew I wouldn’t leave on my own.I reached for my phone. The screen lit up

    Evelyn “I want a divorce.” The words sat on my tongue like something bitter I couldn’t swallow, even though I had already said them out loud. “Are you sure you want me to start drafting your divorce?” Tessa’s voice came through again, tight with disbelief, like she was trying to hold me together
