Michelle's POV

I kept walking in circles around the bedroom. Back and forth. Back and forth.

My mind would not settle.

I still couldn't believe that Kieran was impotent.

Out of everything I had thought about. Out of every reason I had come up with for why things were like this. Why he didn't just have a child and be done with everything.

Impotent was never on the list. Not once.

I pressed my hand to my forehead and sat on the edge of the bed. Then I stood up again. Then I walked to the window.

  • 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

  • MARRIED TO MY EX FIANCE'S STEP BROTHER    The best revenge.

    Michelle's POVI kept a vigil throughout that week.Whoever it was, the person was back, and I was pretty sure they weren't going to let us go without a scratch.That morning, I sat in the lobby of my therapist’s office, staring at the fish tank and watching the fish swim freely, envious of their lives.They lived in a tank, yet they had fewer problems and more freedom than we did.What’s the point of being the highest-ranked animal on the food chain if you still can’t control anything?“Michelle,” she called.I looked up. “Yeah?”“You can come in now,” she said, opening the door wider. “Or do you need a second?”I shook my head and walked into the office.She closed the door behind me.“Rough morning?” I tried to start a light conversation before dumping my dead life on her.“Teenagers,” she said with a smile, taking her seat. “Those tiny little things think they know everything about life. She claims things have changed and that I’m old-fashioned.” She leaned closer. “Can you imagin

  • MARRIED TO MY EX FIANCE'S STEP BROTHER    Close circle.

    Kieran's POV Things did get out of hand. I underestimated Damien a second time. I thought I could control the media, but it turns out a scandal is like candy wrapped in honey and handed to a child. The authorities were all over my business. Fortunately, the other Castellan was fast enough to bury a lot of things. But that did little to stop the storm rising within the company. I never realized it until now. Damien wasn't interested in blackmailing me into giving him power in the company. He wanted me to go on a wild goose chase while he slowly painted himself as the angel. The exposure of my mother's crime was just a bonus I foolishly handed him. “The media is buzzing with news of your mother’s crime. The cops are everywhere,” Mr. Holt said, slamming his hands on the table. Damien sat beside him with a smug smile, as if he had just won a Nobel Prize. “Damien was the one who exposed the crimes,” Mira snapped. “Why is he still here?” “Do you have proof that I did it?” Damien as
