เข้าสู่ระบบAUTUMN'S POV His voice was low when he said it — “You shouldn’t be here, Autumn.” “Then stop looking at me like that,” I fired back. He didn’t blink. “Like what?” “Like you’re about to do something you’ll regret.” He stepped closer, close enough for me to feel the heat off him. “I already regret it.” And then he kissed me. It wasn’t gentle. It wasn’t sweet. It was the kind of kiss that felt like a secret we’d never escape from. The next morning, my mom came home glowing, flashing a ring. And beside her stood him. The same man who kissed me like I belonged to him. “Autumn,” she said, smiling proudly. “Meet your new stepbrother.” Everything inside me froze — except his gaze. He didn’t even flinch. Just stared, silent, daring me to say something. Now, we live under the same roof. Same walls. Same tension that hums like electricity every time we’re alone. He says it’s wrong. He swears he’s trying to stop. But when the house goes quiet, and his voice finds me in the dark, he whispers, “Tell me to leave, and I will.” I never do. Because this isn’t just attraction — it’s an obsession neither of us can break. And when the truth finally blows open, someone’s going to burn for it.
ดูเพิ่มเติมAutumnI dragged my bag along the road, but it was a pretty much lonely one, and so there were only trees around and no cars coming by.“Shit. I should have known better,” I muttered in exasperation.I had been walking for some minutes now, and I was already tired, patched, and my shoes were beginning to hurt badly.“What the heck? How did I get here?” I asked myself.Going back to the motel wasn’t an option for me because I had no money with me, and I couldn’t even pay for a room there no matter how cheap it was. Besides, I had already walked a long distance, and I didn’t think I had the strength to walk back.“I can’t believe Dante would do this to me,” I muttered again.I was so pissed that tears burned the back of my eyes, but I blinked them back inside.“Now isn’t the time to cry. Now is the time to think and act,” I told myself.But how would I do that?I didn’t even know where I was headed or where this road led to. Last night when we had gotten to the motel, I had slept the en
Dante“Hello,” I said to the cashier I could find.“Hello, sir, good morning,” she responded with a warm smile.At least, there was someone with an atom of professionalism around here.“Is there something I can get for you?” She asked politely.“I would like to get some fuel,” I told her.I put some of the money I had with me on the desk in front of her. She took it and counted it, and when her face fell, I became more worried.“What’s wrong?” I asked her.I knew that the money wasn’t much, and that was because I never imagined that what happened to me would happen. I had spent most of it buying things that could last Autumn and I, thinking that when I got to the nearest terminal, I could withdraw or get some more money before we settled somewhere, but all that had changed now.“This is quite a low cash, sir, and it is only going to get you a small amount of petrol,” she explained calmly and politely.“Damn,” I muttered in frustration.I had already checked the map, and the road away
AutumnI hadn’t even realized that I had dozed off while I was waiting for Dante until I was woken up by the ray of early morning sunlight seeping in through the window.“Dante didn’t return to sleep in the room,” I stated to myself as I looked around.If he had returned, I would have known, but he hadn’t.After he stormed out of the room with his cell phone, I had waited for about three hours before I dozed off, and yet, Dante didn’t show up.“Where did he spend the night?” I asked myself worriedly.I got up and sat on the bed, thinking worriedly. I could bet that whatever he had seen that had made him leave the room in that manner must have been from either Dominic or his dad; those were the two people he had been trying hard to reach earlier.I picked up my phone and called Dante, but it went right to voicemail without even ringing, and that only made me more worried.“What could be wrong?” I asked myself.I wasn’t really pleased to be in such a worrisome state, and this was becaus
DanteWhen my phone beeped, I thought that it was from Dominic; maybe he was finally responding to my voicemails, but it wasn’t.The notification had come in from my bank, the one that was being mostly operated by the De Luca family.As soon as I got out of the room, I dialed the cell phone of the accountant, and while I waited for him to pick up, I walked away from the door.There was no way I would be able to speak in whispers with what I just saw, and again, I didn’t want Autumn to overhear any of my conversations, especially when it didn’t involve her. “Pick up!” I urged desperately.I got out of the motel and began to pace about.The night was cold and quiet, and my shirt was unbuttoned, but I wasn’t thinking of that right now. The only thing I wanted was to get through to the accountant. It was important that I did. It was quite late, but I didn’t give a damn.If they could send me a message at this time of the night, they could definitely be awake to pick up my call.“Pick up
