  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 151

    The hallway of the Newton’s mansion is long, arched, and lined with portraits of ancestors who look like they’ve never smiled a day in their lives. I’m practically jogging to keep up with Owen’s long strides, and very out of breath. "Hey, slow down would you?" He ignores me and if anything, incr

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 150

    The moment we step through the door, Grandmother is on me.

I tell my security to stay in the driveway, and I sneak into the house through the side entrance. I move like a shadow through the corridors, heading toward m

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 146

    "I won't be going back to the house with you tonight," I finally reply, my voice barely a whisper. I can’t explain it, but after Camille’s poison about Newton blood and the way he looked at me when he was tipsy, I feel like I need a barrier. A wall between us. He pauses, his hand on the door hand
