I 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?

  • 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

    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

    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

    EvelynThe second I got back to my room, I dropped face first onto the bed like my body had completely given up on me. The mattress dipped beneath me as I buried my face into the pillow, but it did absolutely nothing to calm the mess happening inside my head.“What is wrong with you, Evelyn?” I groaned into the pillow before rolling onto my back sharply.My fingers dragged over my lips slowly, and I bit down on the bottom one without realizing it.This was getting completely out of hand. It was supposed to be simple. A contract. Just a stupid arrangement between two people using each other for their own reasons. That was all. Nothing emotional. Nothing complicated. So why did my chest still feel tight?Why could I still feel his breath against my neck?And worst of all… why the hell could I still picture the water dripping down his body?My eyes squeezed shut instantly. Bad idea.Because the image only became clearer.The way his wet hair had fallen over his forehead. The drops of wat

    Evelyn“Father…” Damon said quietly. One hand pressed against the side of his face where the slap had landed, he slowly turned his head back, his jaw tight. A faint red mark was already forming against his skin, but he didn’t react angrily. He just looked at his father.And the anger in Mr. Moretti

    Evelyn“Damo—”“Shhh… just follow my lead,” Damon murmured, cutting me off softly as he stepped out of the car.The night air brushed against my skin the second the door opened, cool against the heat trapped beneath the sequined dress clinging to my body. Damon rounded the car and held his hand ou

    Evelyn“You’re sure about that… little vice?” Damon’s voice cut through the line, sharp and amused in a way that instantly made my spine stiffen, like he could somehow see straight through me even without being here.I swallowed, forcing my tone to stay steady despite the way my fingers tightened s

    Evelyn I didn’t sleep much that night. Even when I closed my eyes, that message kept replaying in my head. [Stop crying. It doesn’t suit you.] The water ran down my skin, warm, steady. My fingers slid through my hair slowly, my eyes closing for a brief second as I tilted my head back, letting th
