The floorboards in my office are starting to feel the wear of my soles. I’ve been pacing this same rectangular path for the last hour, the city humming indifferently outside my window while my internal clock screams that we’re behind schedule.

Everything is moving at the pace of a tectonic plate,

    "Owen... you need to cut yourself some slack," she says gently, reaching up to lightly brush her thumb against my cheekbone. "You don't have to be the invincible counselor right now. You just lost your mom, honey. I know how much she meant to you. I know how much you loved her, and I know how hard y

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 196

    I watch Sydney walk away from me, her spine perfectly straight, her head held high like a queen marching out of a ruined kingdom. Her words—sharp, icy, and dripping with disgust that makes my skin crawl—still echo in the quiet space of the dining room. "While you're busy playing love and playing h

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 195

    My heart drops into my shoes, a sickening wave of nausea swirling in my stomach. He sharply pulls away after a beat, his hands coming up to grip her shoulders, his face a mix of shock and discomfort. "Camille, what are you doing here? How did you even get past the gates?" "Oh, Owen, I came the sec

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 194

    I lean in across the dark wood, my jaw tight, waiting for the genius to drop some mind-blowing corporate strategy. Owen slides his glass entirely out of the way, his eyes tracking mine with a sudden, sharp intensity. "The first thing we need to do," he says, leaning his forearms on the table, "is p

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 193

    I don't wait to hear another word. A blinding, white-hot rush of pure adrenaline and rage explodes in my chest. Before I even realize what I’m doing, my arm whips forward. I throw my phone across the bedroom with every ounce of strength I have left. It hits the far drywall with a sickening smack,

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 192

    I sit on the edge of the mattress, the silence of my locked bedroom pressing in from all sides. My scalp still burns from where I was aggressively pulling at the tangles earlier, but I barely care. I slowly run a hand through my hair, letting out a long breath that shudders against my teeth. The r

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 73

    A sack of potatoes. That’s how Owen carried her. He had the audacity to tell me she’d had too much to drink. He thinks I’m an amateur? I know what a drunk actress looks like. They’re giggly, they’re messy, or they’re catatonic. They don’t look dead! I saw the way her head lolled against his shoul

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 72

    I’m standing in a dim corner, the shadows of a drape acting as my only companion. On the surface, I'm sure I look very present in the room, but internally, I'm nowhere there. My mind keeps drifting, slipping back to three years ago—back to the rain, the screech of tires, and the sudden, violent end

    The shock wares off, and instead, I feel a bubble of hysterical laughter rise in my throat. I look up at Deckard, my head tilted, and I let the laugh out. Then, the rage hits. The fucking audacity of this man to ruin my night and spread disgusting lies! Before he can tighten his hold on me again,

    "Sydney! To your left, darling! Look at Vogue!" "Sydney, over here! Smile for Billboard! Just one more!" I’m pivoting in my heels, feeling less and less confident in the thin straps of my dress, but I still try to show my confidence in front of the camera. "Over here, Sydney Newton! Give us a pro
