"He froze every single one of my personal accounts, leaving me with zero access to the money I earned long before I met him," I say, looking at the judge. "And when I didn't crawl back, the threats started. He told me he’d ruin my reputation with every studio in the city. He said I’d never work in t

    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

    But the sheer weight of the guilt, the fear of her rejecting me, and the ticking clock of a murder charge lock it all down. Instead of baring my soul, I choke it back and retreat to the safety of the facts. "Tobias and I know that it was someone with easy access to my mother who killed her," I say,

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 190

    Before Sydney can take two steps toward that grand staircase, I lunge forward and catch her by the arm. I don't squeeze—God knows she’s had enough of that today—but my grip is firm, anchoring her right where she stands. She immediately pulls against me, her muscles tensing up as she tries to resist

  • 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." I watch with a mix of amusement and a strange warmth as Sydney talks with her mouth full, her eyes wide with delight. It’s a far cry from the practiced, bird-like picking you usually get from the women in the industry

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 75

    "Baby, go outside and play. Now." I don't even look up from the desk as I speak. My head is throbbing with a pain that matches the ticking of the antique clock on the wall. Riley, bless his heart, doesn’t move. I can feel him standing there by the door, his small shadow stretching across the Persi

  • 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.
