AUTHOR’S POV

“I told you not to call,” Anastasia hissed into the phone, as she rushed into the bathroom. “I have to be the one to reach out to you, not the other way around!”

The water faucet was on, something she had learnt in a movie to muffle out her voice. Roland may have stepped out of their room, but she wouldn’t be surprised if she found out that Eleanor was lurking in the corner listening in on whatever she was doing.

“What? Are you in some prison?” the man chuckled.

Anastasia rolled her eyes, this was worse than a prison, she could tell him that for free, “No, we have moved back into the Conrad family house, and I don’t have the luxury of privacy that I usually had,”

“That is interesting, which means that you can locate those files easier now,” he said.

“Roman, you know that these things take time. If I am caught in the wrong…”

“Enough, you have been giving excuses lately,” he growled.

They had a plan, and from the looks of things, she was trying to back away from it. “Do you

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    The enchantress

    NOAH’S POVIt was cute, the way her nose twitched each time Rose touched my arm. I should have snapped at her for touching me, but I couldn’t, not when I was seeing the fire in Sasha’s eyes.“President Beck?” Matt called out, looking at me with a slight frown on his face. “Did you….”“Had to drop the wife at the office Matt,” I said, stepping out of the car. Today wasn’t exactly a free day, but I needed a minute to breathe.With the tension in my head, coupled with the fact that Sasha has me popping a boner like some teenager every damn second, I needed a minute to recentre myself.His eyes trailed down my frame, taking in my attire, “You stepped out…”I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose, “Yes, the world hasn’t ended, has it?”He looked short of words; his mouth wide open as he tried to process what he had witnessed. Sometimes, he made me just want to laugh.Rose rushed out of the house, dressed in a gown that looked like nothing she had worn earlier, “Noah, you are back,”I grun

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    I’m proud of you

    SASHA’S POVI was in a mood. A damn terrible one at that.Noah smiled through breakfast, talking to Rose and doing every possible thing that he could do to ignore me. I hated every second of it.Rose looked like she was enjoying the attention, asking questions and just being her usual charismatic self. For a split second insecurity crept in. I was teleported back to high school, the times when everyone wanted to be friends with Rose.All my friends stopped coming around for me, she was the new interesting thing.“Stop it,” I mentally scolded myself. This wasn’t high school anymore and Rose, she had a boyfriend.That sounded foreign in my ears, the fact that she was dating the chef’s son. I mean, Rose isn’t vain, but she sure loves her pricey jewels and bags.I slapped the table harder than I intended to, drawing their attention to me, “I have to get to the office,”Noah leaned back on his chair, his brows furrowed as he observed me, “Isn’t it a little too early?”I shrugged, why did h

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    You asked me to make you cum

    SASHA’S POVHe was closer. Hovering, teasing but never quite giving me what it was that I needed.I bit the inside of my cheeks, trying to distract myself from grabbing onto him, kissing him just like I had imagined. When he said I had ruined him, I was a second away from confirming that he had done the same to me. That he had destroyed me.“What do you think of that, my darling wife?” he asked, his lips brushing against mine. There but not there.I could already feel how drenched I was. My eyes hadn’t left his lips, mesmerised by the way his tongue darted out of his lips. The same tongue that had driven me to ecstasy. His hand squeezed, two beats, bringing me back to the present.“Something on your mind?” he drawled out.He knew. He knew that my head couldn’t focus not when he was this close to me. Not when he stayed at me like I was the last meal he wanted.“No,” I croaked, my voice dripping with desire.He smirked, his thumb slowly massaging my throat structure, his eyes dazed as h

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    She was now my addiction

    NOAH’S POVI’ll admit, I hadn’t levelled the battlefield. I knew Sasha, and I knew very well that she was going to have no issues with hiding away from me.I did the next very thing a sane man would do. Made sure that her sister was set up in the room next to her. Forcing her to run to mine.Brilliant isn’t it? But right now, staring at the way the nightwear wrapped around her body like a second skin, I knew that I shouldn’t have poked the bear.“How was work?” I asked tersely, playing with my fingers, looking for anything that would distract me from the temptation that stood right in front of me.She closed the door, her eyes looking at anything but me in the room, “Didn’t go, spent most of the day with Nina and Eric,”I knew that, had guards circling the building that she was in.I waited for a beat, hoping that she would say something to address the little ice tension that surrounded us. But Sasha wasn’t the one for the job.“How long is she going to be here? Isn’t she…” The worry

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    Is it too late to run?

    SASHA’S POVWhen I finally found the courage to return home, it was dark, and way past dinner. Rose was the first to welcome me, arms wrapped around me like we had always been this close.“Took you long enough,” she chuckled, slapping me gently on my shoulder. When I was younger, I had wanted this, hoped for a moment like this with her. But instead, all I got were mean stares and snarky comments.“What are you doing here Rose?” I growled, pulling away from her hug. I had only allowed her to stay because a part of me still felt like she was the only family that I had.Buti was wary of her presence. Rose was a wild card. Impulsive and very very explosive.Her smile dropped, her shoulders sagged as she moved deeper into the house. This wasn’t the flamboyant rose that I knew. The one that wasn’t the loudest but knew exactly how to draw attention.This person before me felt hollow, a shell of the truth.“What happened?” I asked, instantly kicking myself for sounding like I care. But this w

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    The plan

    AUTHOR’S POV“Isn’t Maya enough for you?” Anastasia hissed into the phone.Roman smirked, a soft chuckle echoing through the phone. “Is that jealousy I hear?”“No, just facts. Let me guess, you need more money? Maya isn’t that careless with money is she?” she growled.“Have you checked the news today?” he asked.Her face twisted, her brows raised, “Like I haven’t seen the countless news channels talking about the fashion disaster that had happened. Didn’t Maya tell you?”Roman chuckled, “Yes she did. Spent the night comforting her,”Her fist tightened, he was pushing her buttons, taunting her, “I ask again, what do you want from me, Roman?”“Indulge me, turn on the TV,”She released a tired sigh, picking up the remote as she turned on the TV. Her fingers trembled, breath shaky as she watched the men drag out Carla, the young data analyst in the sah fashion house.“What is going on?” she whispered.“Helped Maya find the person who has been stealing from the company,” he replied in a so
