MICHELLE’S POV.

I didn’t remember how I got home.

All I knew was that my chest hurt so bad I could barely breathe. My eyes burned from crying, and my legs felt weak like they could give up at any moment.

I still couldn't believe my mother believed him. My mother actually sided with that dickhead.

Tears rolled down my face again. I covered my mouth with my hand so my sobs wouldn’t sound too loud.

I felt ashamed. I felt anger. I felt broken.

“I swear I will kill you, Damien…” I whispered thro

  • MARRIED TO MY EX FIANCE'S STEP BROTHER    The devil learned to love.

    Michelle's pov. Kieran's face remained still. No expression. Nothing. I almost felt stupid for making it sound like it was some big deal. I forced a tight smile, and turned to walk around him. Suddenly, his hand grabbed mine, his grip hard enough to break my bones if I move too much. “You're hurting me, Kieran,” I winched, look down at his hand. “Let go of me.” He pulled me back to my former spot, expression calm, but eyes burning with something that looked like rage. Looked like. “What the hell do you mean?” “The contract is ending tomorrow,” I repeated, trying to keep my voice steady — which I failed badly.He didn't say anything. I groaned loudly, trying to free myself from his grip. My strength couldn't actually do much, but it was enough to remind him that he was holding a fragile human not a stone. “The contract was one year,” I continued. “And it's already a year. So I'm leaving.” “I don't remember having such conversation,” he frowned. “It's written on paper,” I said

  • MARRIED TO MY EX FIANCE'S STEP BROTHER    Tomorrow, I leave.

    Michelle's POV.Kieran and Adrian were still not back from their walk. I kept looking at the direction they left in, waiting impatiently for their return. They literally left me to my mortal enemy with no form of self protection. Lana sat besides me, scrolling through her phone like someone who had no care in the world. My eyes slowly moved to the bandage wrapped around her head. “How are you feeling?” I asked finally.She looked up. “Better. Each day gets a little easier.”I nodded slowly. “Did you get a better look at who hit you?”She shook her head. “No. It was too fast.” She paused. “But I heard Kieran and Adrian talking about it. They seem to know who it was.” Figures. Kieran has more enemies than a rabbit. Which is enough reason to get out of his world before I get swallowed whole. She tilted her head slightly. “How are you feeling?”I looked at her. “Don't do that.” “Do what?” “Act like you care.” I kept my voice flat. "We both know you don't, so let's not waste each o

  • MARRIED TO MY EX FIANCE'S STEP BROTHER    Claiming what's mine

    Kieran's POV. We came back empty handed. Lana walked beside me, unbothered, like the lack of prey was a personal choice and not a complete failure. I didn't say anything. Neither did she. We had spent the better part of an hour walking in silence, and at some point the silence stopped being uncomfortable and just became the thing we were doing. Adrian and Michelle were already back when we got to the clearing. Adrian took one look at us. Then at our hands. Then back at our faces. “Nothing.” It wasn't a question. “Nothing,” I confirmed. He looked at the sky like he was thanking God personally. “I cannot believe this. The great Kieran Castellan came back with absolutely nothing.” “You also came back with nothing.” “That's different.” “How?” “Because it's normal for me to lose to you,” he said, pressing a hand to his chest like this was deeply personal. “It is not normal for you to lose to you. Do you understand the difference? The natural order has been disrupted.” “Yeah,

  • MARRIED TO MY EX FIANCE'S STEP BROTHER    Letting him go.

    Michelle's pov. I walked quietly behind Adrian, my steps light as a feather. He hasn't said anything yet, but I knew he had a lot to say to me considering the fact that my stupidity almost cost him his life. Why would Kieran leave me with him? No, I think the real question is why would Kieran choose Lana over me?I knew I screwed up. I knew I couldn't hunt. But that doesn't mean he should throw me under the bus. I knew he was a man who loved to win, but I never knew he would be this petty. I stared at the back of Adrian, my heart hammering with each step he took. Ever since I got a glimpse into this man's life, being around him had never felt safe. Something about him put my nerves on edge — like standing too close to a fire and knowing, without question, that it could burn you.He turned to me, draping the gun at the back of his neck, hands hooked on both sides. “Thank you for dragging Kieran out. I haven't been able to convince him to do a thing in... Like forever.”I forced a t

  • MARRIED TO MY EX FIANCE'S STEP BROTHER    Wrong target.

    Kieran's pov. “Fuck!” Adrian cussed, turning to me with a cold glare.If he didn't have quick reflexes, I could have decorated the whole place with his brain. I turned to Michelle who was even paler than the guy that almost got shot. Her jaw hanging open, eyes widened in fear. She should be trembling in fear. I almost hit my friends because of her. Not like I haven't considered it in the past. But definitely not by missed shots. If I wanted to go back to killing, I would do the whole thing with dignity. But almost hitting Adrian wasn't the most annoying part —missing my target was. “Hey!” Adrian walked over. “I know playing fair has never been part of the rules, but can we squeeze in a little dignity.”I clocked the gun. “I never miss, Adrian. And you know that.” I looked up at him. “It was just...a slip.” “It was my fault,” Michelle stepped forward. “A spider crawled under my skin and I got scared.” “Are you alright?” Lana asked, checking Michelle's body like she was looking

  • MARRIED TO MY EX FIANCE'S STEP BROTHER    A hunt gone wrong.

    Michelle's pov. I didn't buy the story Lana was selling. There was no way something like that could pass of as a coincidence. And I was a coincidentalist. Lana insisted that they booked this woods because she has been getting some “fragment of her memories” after she got attacked, and decided to check the cabin out since it was the closest thing similar to where the original memory was from. Call me a bitch, but I kind of wished that mysterious person that attacked her had finished the job. Then I won't have to keep up with such bullshit. Kieran only agreed to it because Adrian — whom he's reason for coming isn't still clear — insisted that Kieran let them stay. Let them catch up like old times. Apparently Adrian's parents used to drag Kieran with them any time they went for hunting or camping. The two spent the whole night talking about the times they spent together. They talked about their first kill. Their first rock climbing. They talked about everything I hoped they don't f

    Michelle's POVThe papers were spread all over the table in front of me, but my mind was not really on them.I kept thinking about Lana. I still couldn't believe that Lana was behind everything. And the thought of not getting the truth out of her sent a cold shiver down my spine. I blinked and loo
