  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 302

    She’s wearing a silk robe, a laptop is balanced on her knees loudly streaming a reality television show, and scattered all over my crisp white duvet are open bags of greasy potato chips, chocolate wrappers, and half-eaten cookies. I have a lot of boundaries, but my number-one, non-negotiable mental

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 301

    I shake out the woven linen blanket, letting the ocean breeze catch the fabric for a split second before it settles perfectly onto the warm, powdery white sand. I drop to my knees, smoothing out the corners and beginning to arrange our dinner basket—fresh grilled prawns, spicy thai rice, and a chi

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 300

    I dress in a stunning designer trench coat, put on my darkest oversized sunglasses, and drive down to the skyscraper. When I pull up to the valet, the towering glass building feels foreign, suffocating under the new regime. I march through the grand revolving doors, my expensive heels clicking wit

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 299

    The front door opens, and Deckard slumps into the marble foyer like a corpse. He looks pathetic. His tie is unraveled, hanging loosely around his neck, and his posture is entirely devoid of the arrogance that used to turn me on. The butler quietly steps forward, taking his leather briefcase with a

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 298

    I look past him, locking my eyes onto the terrified young analyst sitting at the desk. "David, look at me. How long has he been standing over your desk forcing you to do his daily work reports?" David looks up at me, his eyes wide with pure terror as he darts a frantic glance at Deckard, who is gla

    "So... hear me out, Cassie. What are your thoughts on navy blue for the accent wall behind my desk?" I tilt my head, tapping a pen against my lip as I inspect the minimalist CEO office. "Does it scream badass or does it just say *I am depressed by spreadsheets*?" Cassie, my newly appointed assistan

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 15

    The morning sun filters through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Grandmother Newton’s sunroom, giving a beautiful shimmer to the floral patterns of the upholstery. I am kneeling on the plush rug at Grandmother’s feet, my fingers steady as I adjust the brim of her favorite silk hat. She is insistent

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 7

    A lace dress with a mid thigh high slit, plunging neckline and open back, is probably inappropriate for a funeral. But it's black, so I guess that should make up for it. I step out of my car, looking through my little net veil at the crowd gathered for Mr Newton's funeral. As a billionaire, he h

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 6

    I hate new beginnings. But that's what I need right now. I moved into a smaller apartment and put a good distance between Deckard and I, and I can't believe how happy I am. This new space is small but it's mine. Everything is picked out by me, and there are no lies behind these walls, that's for s

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 5
