"Sydney... I stepped down from my position at the firm," I say quietly, the words falling like lead weights into the dark space between us.

She freezes, her jaw dropping slightly as she stares at me in shock. "What? What do you mean you stepped down?"

"I resigned," I clarify, looking her dead in t

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 234

    The electricity of the kiss is still buzzing like a live wire against my lips, but the sudden, cold splash of reality hits my brain a second later. My instincts—the ones that have kept me breathing through this entire nightmare—slay the romance in an instant. I pull away from him. Sharply. "Ow, da

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 233

    A ragged, choking sob rips out of my throat, and I completely break down, burying my face into my hands as my entire body shakes with tears. Deckard was a fraud. A calculated, narcissistic, disgusting fraud. He was the imposter, and I spent three whole years of my life letting him emotionally manip

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 232

    He doesn't reply. He looks away from me, his gaze drifting back out toward the crashing waves and the open sky. For a long, agonizing moment, the only sound between us is the rhythmic roar of the tide. He doesn't say he forgives me, and he doesn't tell me I'm wrong. Instead, he stretches his arm

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 231

    The car door clicks open, and the salty, sharp scent of the ocean instantly floods my senses. I let out a low groan, my muscles locking up as Owen gently hooks his arms underneath my shoulders to guide me out of the passenger seat. Every single inch of my body is actively screaming at me. Since Ca

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 229

    Slowly, deliberately, I run my fingers through her soft hair, tangling my hand in the strands, silently vowing to myself that no one will ever lay a malicious finger on her again as long as I am drawing breath. We stay like that for a long stretch of time, existing entirely in the quiet sanctuary o

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 178

    "So you saw her that day?" The detective’s voice is a low, gravelly drone that usually makes me want to yawn, but today? Today, it’s music to my ears. I’m sitting in the Newton’s private study, the air smelling of aged mahogany and the faint, lingering scent of Grandmother’s favorite lavender sache

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 163

    I’ve been pacing the length of the living room for what feels like an eternity, checking the time on my watch every thirty seconds as if I can intimidate the hands into moving backward. It’s well past dark, and Sydney is nowhere to be found. I’ve tried her phone. Six times. Ten times. I’ve lost cou

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 161

    Did I arrive before everyone else? The silence in this house isn't the peaceful kind of quiet. It’s the heavy, suffocating silence of a tomb that’s been recently dusted. As I walk deeper into the mansion, my heels clicking rhythmically against the polished hardwood, I realize just how much of a mis
