Elara's POV

They kept us at the hospital for another two hours. Walsh's team processed Richard's arrest in a room down the hall while a different officer took our statements for the third time in as many days. I sat in the chair beside Damien's and answered every question and watched the clock and waited for the feeling that it was actually over to arrive.

It took a while.

Mom came up from the waiting room when the officer finished with us. She had heard enough through Walsh's team to understand

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Thirty Four — Photograph

    Elara's POVAlexander left the photograph on the kitchen table the following morning. A small envelope with my name on it in handwriting I did not recognise. I picked it up and turned it over once before I opened it.The photograph inside was old. The colour had gone slightly warm the way photographs from that era did, the edges soft. My mother stood in a garden somewhere I did not recognise. Summer. She was laughing at something off camera, her head turned slightly, her hair loose. She looked young in a way that was hard to absorb. Not just younger. Unguarded. Like the version of her that existed before she decided who she was going to be.I sat down with it.I had seen photographs of Mom when she was young before. The ones she kept in the album in the living room. But those were posed. Holidays. Birthdays. This one was different. Someone had caught her in an unguarded moment and she did not know she was beautiful in it and that made it the most honest image of her I had ever seen.I

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Thirty Three — Home

    Elara's POVWe left the coastal house on the fourth morning as planned. I packed the same bag Damien had edited on the first day and did not add anything back. The drive home felt different from the drive out. Quieter in a different way. Not the quiet of leaving things behind but the quiet of carrying something new and not yet knowing where to put it.Damien drove. I watched the fields come and go and thought about Daniel standing at the water's edge watching us walk away. The shape of his eyes. The way he had not made excuses for the twenty years, just stated them plainly and waited to see what I did with them.I had not decided yet. That was the honest answer."You have been thinking since the beach," Damien said."I have been thinking since before the beach.""Anything you want to say out loud."I looked at the road ahead. "I keep trying to be angry at him and it will not stick. Which makes me angrier at myself than at him, which is probably not useful.""Probably not.""He did not

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Thirty Two — Daniel

    Elara's POV"Start from the beginning," I said. "All of it."Daniel looked at the water for a moment. Then he nodded and we walked, the three of us, slow and without direction along the shoreline while he talked.He had met my mother twenty three years ago at a conference Victor had hosted for business contacts and their associates. She was there with a friend. Daniel was there because Victor had hired him as a financial consultant for a short term project. They were introduced at dinner and talked for three hours and he said he knew before the night was over that she was someone he would not forget easily."We were together for eight months," he said. "Quietly. Victor did not know at the time. Your mother ended it when Victor asked her to marry him. She chose stability. I understood it. I did not like it but I understood."I kept walking. "She was already pregnant.""She did not know yet. She told me six weeks after she ended things. By then she and Victor were engaged." He paused. "

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Thirty One — Truth

    Elara's POV"You have that look," I said from the doorway.Damien set his phone on the table. He looked at me for a moment in a way that made me stop toweling my hair and actually pay attention. Not the threat look. Something quieter and more careful than that."Sit down," he said.I sat. "Who was on the phone.""Alexander." He pulled his chair around so he was facing me directly rather than across the table. Close enough that when he leaned forward his elbows were almost touching my knees. "I need to tell you something and I need you to let me get through all of it before you respond."My stomach tightened. "Okay.""The number from last night. Alexander recognised the format. It connected to a man named Daniel Voss." He watched my face. "He worked with Victor in the early years. Before the syndicate. Before any of it went bad. He and your mother knew each other before she met Victor." A pause. "Before she met anyone."I looked at him. The name sat in my chest doing something I could

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Thirty — Morning

    Damien's POV"Show me the photo," I said.Elara handed me the phone without argument. I looked at it for a long moment. The beach. Our backs. The angle meant distance, maybe two hundred meters, taken with something better than a phone camera. Patient. Deliberate. Someone who knew how to wait.I set the phone on the table and picked up my coffee.Elara sat across from me with both hands around her cup watching my face. She had woken up the same way she always did, quietly and all at once, and she had not asked me how I was feeling about it which was one of the things I loved most about her."You are not surprised," she said."Walsh flagged someone watching the property before we left. I hoped it was precautionary.""But.""But I checked the locks twice last night before I came to bed and I told myself it was habit." I looked at the window. The water was grey this morning, the sky low. "So no. Not surprised."She was quiet for a moment. "Do we go home."I thought about it honestly. Four

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Twenty Nine — New

    Elara's POV"You packed too much," Damien said from the doorway.I looked at the bag on the bed. Then at him. "I packed for four days.""You packed for four days and every possible weather event.""It is coastal. It changes fast."He crossed the room and unzipped the bag and pulled out two things without looking at what they were and set them on the bed. "Now you packed for four days."I looked at what he had removed. A spare jacket and a book I had not started and probably would not start. He was not wrong. I zipped the bag and picked it up before he could find anything else to edit.Mom was in the hallway when we came downstairs. She hugged me first and then looked at Damien in the way she had been looking at him lately. Like she was still adjusting to how much space he took up in the good sense. "Four days," she said."Four days," he said. "Alexander has the office number. Walsh has my mobile. You have both.""I know." She straightened his collar even though it did not need straigh

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Fifteen — Blood

    Elara's POVI woke to pain. It burned hot and sharp in my shoulder and spread down my arm. The world felt blurry at first. Voices came through the fog. Someone held my hand tight. I blinked slow until Damien's face came into focus. He sat beside the stretcher in the ambulance. His gray eyes looked

    Elara's POVThe knock came again, louder this time. I knew it was Damien. I had sent the message that brought him here, and now he stood on the other side of the door.

    Elara's POVI took one step toward Lila. My legs felt like they weighed a thousand pounds. The room stayed completely silent except for Damien shouting my name. He pulled hard against the ropes that held him to the chair. His voice cracked with anger and fear. I could not look at him right away. My
