Michelle's POV

I had no idea what Kieran meant, but it felt like he was mocking me and, most importantly, keeping a close eye on me.

He was too quick to comment on the picture, and worse, everyone saw it. I wanted to delete the picture immediately, but that would mean admitting defeat. On the other hand, leaving it up meant Lana would see it and might use it as an excuse to come after me.

I wasn't really ready to deal with her yet.

I paced around my room, biting down on my fingers as I thought

  • MARRIED TO MY EX FIANCE'S STEP BROTHER    The lawsuit

    Kieran's POV Adrian left the accident scene before I could even talk to him. I didn't blame him, though. I would probably destroy the man who killed my grandmother too.That was the whole reason I was after Paul and Damien.And I was still nowhere close to getting any answers, even with the help of the other Castellans.I was beginning to think it was a bad idea to let another stranger take control of my house. That was the rule. Whoever took over security in the mansion had complete control over it, just like Damien did.Never in my life had I thought things would get to a point where other people could control every aspect of my life, especially when that was exactly what Damien was trying to do.Damien and Paul thought I was going to hand over the company immediately after showing me my mother's garbage. They completely ignored the fact that I had specifically told them I would rather let the company burn to the ground than let them take it.Well, not literally. I had given up my

I thought Mira said he had moved on. Well, clearly, he hadn't moved on enough.I checked my post again, and this time, I had thousands of comments. Some people were calling Kieran a troll, while others were commenting on how beautiful I looked after moving on.Their sweet words should have made me feel relieved, but instead, I felt more scared than ever.Lana was already obsessed with Kieran. In her eyes, he could never do anyth

  • MARRIED TO MY EX FIANCE'S STEP BROTHER    The next prey

    MICHELLE’S POVI stared at the food in front of me, moving my fork around the plate without much interest.I was supposed to be enjoying dinner with Jonathan, but my mind was somewhere else.Lana.That woman had the guts to come after me again after everything that had happened.How could someone be so wicked?She had tried to kill my mother and me, threatened our lives, and still wasn't satisfied. What exactly did she want from me? Was leaving Kieran not enough? Did she want me to disappear from the face of the earth before she could finally sleep peacefully?I know I said I was going to help Mira get rid of her, but how could I? That woman had almost burned my mother and me alive because I hesitated to leave when I should have.Honestly, I felt bad for Kieran. He had no one, and he was slowly losing his company, but what could I do?I only had a year to ruin Damien, and I had really tried my best, but he was stronger.I had to admit that at some point.Damien was simply bigger than

  • MARRIED TO MY EX FIANCE'S STEP BROTHER    The wrong turn.

    Kieran's POVI watched the last person leave before letting out a sigh of relief.This week had been busier than I'd anticipated. I'd been cooperating with the authorities, something I usually wouldn't do even at gunpoint.I had no one to blame but myself.Well played, Damien. Well played.Ever since I overheard that little conversation between Damien and Paul, I'd been extra careful around everyone.I knew I had plenty of enemies, but I never imagined they'd be good enough to slip right under my nose and get so close to me.Adrian had been ruled out, leaving Mira and Lana.Mira had always been on my side. She had no reason to turn against me. Lana, on the other hand, had done some shitty things to Michelle in the past. But she'd done those things because of me, not to destroy me.Then there was the other Castellan lurking in the shadows, insisting on planting some of his people in the mansion to keep an eye on Damien and Paul.I still didn't trust that Castellan, but if the same bloo

  • MARRIED TO MY EX FIANCE'S STEP BROTHER    You have me.

    Michelle's POV Mira stared at me as though I had just said the most ridiculous thing in the world. She looked like she was desperately trying to process the information but couldn't figure out how.I watched her face go through several emotions at once. Shock. Anger. Curiosity. Confusion.Then she leaned forward, shifting uncomfortably in her seat.“What?” she asked. “What did you say?”“Lana tried to kill me and my mother,” I repeated calmly, as though I were talking about the weather or something else entirely ordinary. “I don't know how she knew I was returning to the house, but that night, she attacked us, took us to the edge of a cliff, and set the car on fire.”Mira's face turned pale. She shook her head in disbelief. “Lana wouldn't do that.”“Well,” I smiled. “She can. And she did.”“Why didn't you say anything?”What could I have said? It was clear I wasn't wanted in that house, and I wasn't willing to put my mother's life at risk for anyone.“I don't have proof.”“She alread

    Michelle’s POV“Thank you so much, ma’am,” I said, handing her the documents after signing them.“No, Michelle.” She shook her head. “We are the ones who should be thanking you. Do you understand what it means to be the first art gallery to partner with you?” She placed a hand on her chest. “It’s an honor.”I stood and picked up my bag from the table.“Well, it was a pleasure meeting you.” I stretched out my hand for a handshake.She took it. “The pleasure is all mine.”“I’ll walk you out,” Jonathan said, leading me out of the room.The moment we stepped outside, he looked around, making sure no one was paying attention to us.“So, how are you feeling?”I glanced at him. “I have a headache, but I think I’ll manage just fine.”He laughed, nodding his head. “That’s beautiful. But I was talking about the party. You didn’t return any of my calls or messages.”I slowed down, my fingers wrapping tightly around the handle of my bag.I had completely forgotten about that. But it wasn’t my fau

    MICHELLE’S POVThe room exploded the moment the words left my mouth.“What are you talking about?” Daniel asked sharply, standing up from his seat. His face was full of confusion and anger. “Michelle, this is not a joke. Do you even understand what you’re saying?”Everyone was staring at me like I

    KIERAN’S POV. I walked away, leaving Michelle behind like a memory I didn't want to look back at. Like a bad memory that made me stronger but better left in the past. God, I wanted to kill her the moment I found out that she fell into my trap. I even gave her a second chance, which she failed aga

Two weeks of sleepless nights, overdue notices, and constant complaining. I tied the apron around my waist and s
