last update Veröffentlichungsdatum: 15.06.2026 02:28:49
The hum of the tires against the asphalt is the only thing grounding me right now. I’m huddled in the passenger seat of Owen’s car, still shivering so hard my teeth are doing a percussion solo.

My head is throbbing where it met that sideboard, and my wrists are raw from the struggle, but strangely

    "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

    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

    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

    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

    Tobias doesn't look at me. He keeps his gaze fixed on the stage below. "I don't expect you to understand the intricacies of production, Owen. Lydia is a piece of a puzzle. If I remove her entirely, the picture is incomplete, and the investors get nervous. Take my word for it: Sydney will be safe. I’

    The antiseptic stench of this hospital is making my stomach turn. It smells like cheap floor wax and something that I can't quite put a finger on, but horrible. My nose is throbbing from Owen's punch, and it's the very cause of my headache too, that bastard. Every breath I take feels like a blade i

    I nod, a bit confused. "Of course. Why are we talking about that at dinner?" She takes a deep breath, looking me straight in the eye with a terrifying amount of earnestness. "I appreciate everything you’re doing for me. The role, the protection, this beautiful pendant... this dinner. But I think it

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 76

    "Oh my, this is probably the most delicious steak I've ever had. Like... ever."
