LOGIN**FOURFOLD OBSESSION** Some nights are supposed to disappear by morning. Mia Calloway had one rule: never learn a stranger's name before midnight ends. No names, no consequences, no complications — just one reckless night before she flew across an ocean to move in with a stepfamily she'd never met. She never expected to see him again. She definitely never expected there to be four of him to choose from. Now she's living in a house with four stepbrothers — and one of them already knows exactly how her breath catches when she's not being careful. The only problem? She has no idea which one. Is it the eldest, cold and controlled, who looks at her like a problem he hasn't finished solving? The quiet one, who says almost nothing — and somehow makes every silence feel like a confession? The golden one, easy and unguarded, who might be hiding the most careful lie of all behind that grin? Or the one who can't stop staring at her mouth like he's trying not to remember something he can't forget? Every glance is a clue. Every almost-touch is a trap. And the closer Mia gets to the truth, the more she starts to wonder if she even wants to find it — because finding it means the one good, uncomplicated night of her life is about to become the most complicated thing she's ever survived. Four brothers. One secret. And a truth that's going to burn this family down the second it comes out. **Who was he? You'll have to turn the page to find out — and you won't want to stop until you do.**
View MoreMIA'S POVI didn't run toward the house.That was the part I didn't decide on purpose — my feet just carried me the other way, past the pavilion, past the hedges, out toward the garage where the gravel gave way to the quiet dark at the edge of the property, and I didn't understand why until I was already there and Theo was standing in the open garage doorway, wiping grease off his hands with a rag, looking up at the sound of me nearly colliding into a parked car."Mia?"I stopped. Chest heaving. Sebastian's footsteps were still coming, closer, and some old, blind instinct made me step sideways into the garage, out of the direct line of the driveway, like I could disappear if I just stood still enough.Theo took one look at my face and set the rag down."Mia—" Sebastian's voice, right outside now, breathless.Theo moved before I even registered him moving. He stepped past me, into the doorway, filling it completely, and I watched Sebastian pull up short on the other side of him, chest
MIA'S POV I woke up to a strange, heavy quiet — the kind of quiet that told me it was later than it should be before I'd even opened my eyes. I reached for my phone on instinct, squinting against the light already pouring through the curtains, and found the time first. Half past eleven. Nobody had come to wake me. Nobody had knocked, called through the door, sent the housekeeper up with the usual complaint about breakfast going cold. Then I saw the text. Priya: HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY TO YOU. I hope you're being spoiled rotten this exact second. see you later, birthday girl x I stared at the screen for a second before it landed properly. My birthday. I'd genuinely forgotten, somewhere between everything else that had happened in the last two weeks, that today was the day. And nobody in this house had said a word. I lay there a moment, feeling something small and stupid curdle in my chest. Not Priya — Priya, a girl I'd known for less than twenty-four hours, had remembered.
MIA'S POV I went straight up after breakfast, needing to be somewhere that belonged entirely to me for a while. I showered longer than I needed to, letting the water run hot until the tightness in my shoulders finally started to ease, and dressed in something plain and comfortable — jeans, a soft sweater, nothing that felt like it was performing for anyone. I didn't tell anyone I was leaving. I just took my coat, slipped out the side door, and walked until the house was small behind me and the noise of everything that had happened that morning felt, for the first time all day, like it belonged to someone else. I ended up at a small café a few streets over, one I'd noticed from the car but never actually been inside, and ordered something I didn't particularly want just to have a reason to sit down. I was halfway through it, staring out the window at nothing, when a voice cut through my thoughts. "You're going to stare a hole through that glass." I looked up. A girl about
MIA'S POV Before I could take a step, he pulled me back into the room, pinning me gently against the door as it swung shut. That was when I saw his room properly for the first time — dark, all him, something about it hinting at things dangerous or hidden that he never let show anywhere else. "You can't just make me feel something and then walk away like none of it happened," he said. I stayed still against the door, my pulse loud in my ears. "I'm sorry if I made you feel something. But we can't keep doing this. We're siblings." "By paper." Something in the flatness of it made my heart race for an entirely different reason than the ones I'd felt with him before — not want, not longing, but fear. Fear of how easily he'd said it, like the paper didn't matter to him at all, like he'd already decided the rest of it didn't either. "Still," I said. "I can't be the reason my mum ends up unhappy." He let go of me and paced away, dragging a hand through his hair, tension radiating off h
