Getting back at my ex with his billionaire stepbrother Light after rain
Zara’s POVThe studio was filled with sunlight.Soft, golden light poured through the tall glass windows, catching in the baby’s fine dark curls as he squirmed in Leo’s arms. A soft laugh escaped Zara’s lips as she reached to fix the tiny bowtie that her son kept trying to tug off.“Eli, sweetheart,” she whispered, brushing his cheek, “you have to keep it on for just five more minutes.”The baby gurgled the same mischievous sound Leo made when he was trying not to laugh.Leo’s chuckle rumbled behind her. “You know he gets that from you, right?”Zara turned, her smile blooming instantly. “Oh, please. The stubbornness is definitely yours.”“Maybe,” he said, with a teasing grin. “But he’s got your smile.”She couldn’t argue with that. When Eli smiled all dimples and tiny teeth the whole world seemed to brighten.The photographer, a cheerful woman with short red hair, adjusted her camera and called out gently, “Okay, let’s have Dad hold the baby while Mom stands behind him. Perfect, ju
Getting back at my ex with his billionaire stepbrother The kiss in the rain
Zara’s POVThe rain had barely stopped when she heard the sound of a familiar car pulling up outside her house.Zara’s heart skipped that quick, fluttering beat that always came with his presence. She didn’t even need to look through the window to know it was him. She could feel it the steady hum of the engine, the quiet certainty that followed Leo wherever he went.For a moment, she just stood there in front of the mirror, breath catching. Her reflection looked different now softer, freer. The shadows under her eyes were fading, and for once, she didn’t look like she was trying to prove anything. She looked like herself.Then, without even thinking, she ran.Barefoot, hair tumbling loose around her shoulders, she darted through the hallway and threw the door open just as Leo was stepping out of the car.He looked up rain still clinging to his hair, his black coat hanging open, that faint, tired smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.For a heartbeat, the world went silent.Zara f
Getting back at my ex with his billionaire stepbrother The Weight of rain and memory
Zara’s POVIt had started with rain.Everything always seemed to start with rain.Zara still remembered the night she met Leo not the way you remember a random encounter, but the way you remember something that shifts the axis of your life. She’d been standing in the street, soaked through, mascara running down her cheeks, her chest full of too many words she could never say. It had been the night Jayden broke her.Her phone buzzed in her hand an unknown number, a message that simply said:“Wanna get back at your ex?”She’d stared at it through tears, almost laughed at how absurd it was. But before she could reply, a car had pulled up beside her. The window rolled down, and a man stepped out tall, composed, wearing a black coat that looked far too expensive for a night that wild.Without a word, he’d taken the coat off and draped it over her shoulders. His voice had been low, calm, infuriatingly certain.“Revenge feels colder when you do it alone,” he said. “Let me help.”She didn’t
Getting back at my ex with his billionaire stepbrother The road back to her
Leo’s POVThe city lights blurred past the windshield, soft gold and silver ribbons weaving through the night. The hum of the engine filled the silence, a steady rhythm that matched the beat of Leo’s heart calm, steady and full. It had been a long time since he’d driven without feeling the weight of war in his chest.Tonight felt different.Tonight, he was driving toward peace.Zara’s street wasn’t far now. He could already picture the soft light spilling through her living room window, the quiet comfort that came with her presence. It still amazed him how she could make an entire space feel alive just by being in it.He smiled faintly, his hands tightening on the steering wheel. “Lilac girl,” he whispered under his breath.He hadn’t called her that in years, not out loud, not since high school. But the name still held that same magic, the same weight. It was what he had called her the first night he saw her on stage during the senior showcase, wearing that soft lilac dress that shim
Getting back at my ex with his billionaire stepbrother The last flight
Jayden’s POVThe airport was half-empty that morning pale light filtering through the glass walls, glinting off polished floors that smelled faintly of coffee and jet fuel. The world outside was waking up; inside, it felt like everything was slowing down.Jayden Beanet sat near the window, his suitcase by his feet, his fingers tracing the rim of a paper cup that had long gone cold. His boarding pass rested on the table beside it Flight 437, Zurich. A new life, a quiet one, far from the noise he had built and destroyed in equal measure.He could hear the faint buzz of conversation around him, a mother calming her crying child, a businessman arguing into his phone, the rhythmic roll of luggage wheels across the tiles. For the first time in his life, none of it belonged to him. The chaos wasn’t his to control anymore.He closed his eyes, exhaling slowly. His chest still hurt a dull, familiar ache that pulsed under his ribs. The doctor had called it “stress-induced arrhythmia,” but Jayde
Getting back at my ex with his billionaire stepbrother Consequences
Leo’s POVThe morning air in Wellington Tower was sharp and quiet too quiet for a building that usually pulsed with movement. Leo stood by the glass wall of his office, hands tucked into his pockets, watching the sun climb over the skyline. The night before had been long meetings, calls, endless tracing of digital trails but sleep wasn’t something he could afford now.Fred had sent a short message at dawn: He’s here.And now, the door opened.Jayden Beanet stood in the doorway thinner than Leo remembered, his once effortless arrogance stripped away. He looked pale, worn, almost hollow. The dark circles under his eyes spoke of weeks of guilt and sleepless nights.“Leo,” he said quietly, voice rough.Leo didn’t turn. “You shouldn’t be here.”“I know,” Jayden said, stepping in anyway. “But I needed to talk to you. Before this gets worse.”Leo finally faced him, his gaze cold, assessing. “Worse? You mean before another scandal burns down what’s left of your father’s empire?”Jayden flin

Zara’s POVThe day began with light soft, forgiving sunlight spilling across the balcony, glinting off the crystal vase of lilies Leo had placed there a few days ago. Everything looked peaceful, almost perfect.Almost.Zara sat at the edge of the bed, sketchbook in her lap, pencil idle in her finge
Getting back at my ex with his billionaire stepbrother What is left of a man
Jayden’s POVThe silence after Leo left was worse than the confrontation itself.Jayden stood in the center of the grand hall, staring at the door that had just closed behind him. His father was still on his knees, trembling, his head bowed in defeat. The air felt suffocating and thick with humilia
Getting back at my ex with his billionaire stepbrother Price of mercy
Leo’s POVThe Bennett estate had once been a symbol of everything Leo despised excess without substance, marble floors that reflected nothing but vanity. But tonight, it felt different. The chandelier lights were dimmed, the air stale with worry, and silence hung over the room like an unspoken debt
Getting back at my ex with his billionaire stepbrother Fractures of the empire
Jayden’s POV The drive home felt endless. The city outside was awake cars honking, lights flashing, people rushing to work but for Jayden, everything moved in slow motion. His hands were still trembling on the steering wheel. The doctor’s words kept replaying in his head, sharp and unforgiving.Y
