ROLAND’S POV

“What do you mean that I have to walk the carpet alone,” Anastasia growled.

I ignored her, keeping my eyes fixed on the premises. The area was swamped with journalists, with cameras flashing looking for the next headline to trend.

“Vultures,” I hissed under my breath.

“Anastasia, this isn’t about you right now. It is about the Conrad family. We need to show the world that we aren’t broken by the latest developments,” Maya tried to explain.

“I am a Conrad too, doesn’t this ring mean anything?” she asked.

I blew a raspberry, my hands grabbing hers as I pulled her closer to my body. I smiled, enjoying the way she melted under my touch.

“You are mine. The world knows that, but tonight we…” I grabbed Maya’s hand for emphasis.

“Tonight we need to let people see that they would try to break us. But they can’t.” I said.

Anastasia sighed, looking at me with defeat in her eyes. I hated that I had to do this, but tonight was meant to be all about us.

Tonight the world was meant to s

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    The storm is brewing

    NOAH’S POVMatt rushed into the conference room, his eyes wide in panic. I knew that look, it was the same look he had each time things went south and he was scared of what my reaction would be like.“Excuse me, gentlemen,” I said, walking out of the conference room.“This better be important, Matt,” I said, settling in on the make shift office they had so nicely provided.Matt bit his lips, his eyes looking around the room like he was thinking of the best undamning way to deliver the news.“President Beck, there is an issue,” he said, looking at me with fear in his eyes. “And you can't fix it?” I hissed.His face had turned whiter than a paper.He handed me the phone, “This was released..”I clicked play.It was Sasha— kneeling before Roland, bags around her as she sobbed. The video had been muted, other than her kneeling and what looks her begging, there wasn’t much to say about the video.“How many stations?” I asked, dropping the tablet on the table as I picked out my phone.Sash

    ROLAND’S POVMy phone blared like a fire alarm on a dead summer night. It buzzed with alerts and calls, like the world was suddenly on fire.I groaned, my hand reaching towards the bedside table to grab it.Maybe it was.150 messages.“What is going on?” Anastasia groaned beside me, placing her hand on my chest as she stifled a yawn.All from Maya, reporters, my assistant and even Petal.“What the hell?” I mumbled, my stomach clenching as I stared at the messages.I clicked on the first link. It was a video of Sasha on her knees, begging as I towered over her with rage on my face.She looked broken. I remembered that day, she had tried to make me choose between her and Anastasia.I had shown her the truth. She was always dispensable.“Woah, this is bigger than I thought,” Anastasia mumbled, a proud smirk on her face.The caption caught my attention, Sasha Beck, was she a victim or villain of her story?“This is good,” Anastasia whispered in a pleased tone.It wasn’t good. Because if i

    SASHA’S POVI woke with a start, my heart slamming hard against my chest like I had run a thousand miles.I could still feel it, the tingling pain in my feet.The dream had been chaotic. I was walking through a coal of fire, and the world watched as I cried.Noah stood at the corner, trying to fight through to get to me. But the more he pushed, the hotter the fire burned.My door banged open, and Nina walked in with a panicked look on her face.“I have been calling you,” she hissed, her eyes gleaming with tears.“What is going on?” I asked, my tone matching the panicked look on her face as I rushed towards my phone.“I had it turned off last night,” I whispered.“Don’t you pick it up?” she said her tone filled with urgency.I paused. My hands hanging mid-air as I stared at her, “You are scaring me, Nina,”“Just… just let's have breakfast first. I am starving,” she said, trying to act casual.But she wasn’t casual, no matter how hard she tried to act it.Right now, she was behaving lik

    ROLAND’S POVA FEW HOURS EARLIER“We did it!” Maya whispered, her eyes gleaming with pride as we signed the document.Noah Beck was stupid for always chasing sentimental things. The building had been up for demolition for years, but I had been stalling on signing it off.“What rule will Roland be getting?” Grandma asked, staring at Noah with nothing but hate in her eyes.My palms were tweistching in excitement. I was finally getting out of this bad press funk. And when the time was right, I would make sure that I use the Conrad influence to squeeze out Noiah from the project.Their words had flown over my head until I heard the term supervisor.“What!”It felt like my ears were ringing, what did he just say?Anastasia grabbed my hand, trying to give me some comfort. I yanked my hand out of her grip, my eyes hardening as I rose to my feet.“What did you just say?” I growled.He looked unbothered, tather he smiled like hje was enjoying the moment, “Showing support is all about making th

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    Irony of the situation

    SASHA’S POV“You know that you have just angered them more right?” I asked the minute the car door closed behind us.The black windows shielding us from the world. I could be free. The smiles had dropped, the distance created.Noah Beck’s eyes barely glanced in my direction. The cameras were gone, I no longer existed in his sight.“That was what I was aiming for,” he said, typing away on his phone.“The office, what is so important about it? I have seen it, it is nothing but a building hanging on a thin thread,” I asked, looking at him with a tiny frown on my face. I needed to understand why he was particular about it.“That old building will be renovated to something better. If you want, it can become your office,” he said offhandedly.“But…”“Sasha, the building wasn’t what I wanted. my father’s office wasn’t that. I needed to be sure that when his office is reveled that they wont try to come for it,” he said, cutting me off.Misdirection. That was beginning to look like his favouri

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    You want power, and now you have it.

    SASHA’S POVGrandma Petal (Meryl Conrad) lives in a world where her words her sealed. No one questions her actions, each man would hang his head on a guillotine waiting for it to drop.But Noah Beck— oh, he was enjoying this moment. The pushing and unbothered stares.“What are you talking about?” Meryl hissed, her eyebrows furrowed.Other than occasional smiles and the constant look of disdain on her face. This was the first time that I saw Meryl Conrad with another expression on her face.“I am a Conrad, you are nothing,” Roland bellowed, the veins on his neck looking like they were about to pop.One day, they might actually pop. I smiled softly, imagining what that would look like.Meryl raised her hand, silencing Roland’s tantrum.“We are the Conrads, we don’t disappear from the spotlight. We reposition, become bigger, something more powerful than what the world had seen,” she said.“You had stained the Conrad name and now, you have to fix the mess that you have made,” she added.N
