༄MARISOL༄

The first thing I did after collecting my new bike was admire it.

I stood beside it for a while, running my fingers over the handlebar and checking the body even though I had already inspected everything before completing the payment. The man at the shop had given me the keys, explained a few things about its maintenance, and wished me a safe ride.

I barely heard the last part.

My bike was finally mine.

I had spent weeks saving for it, and now I could hardly believe I was standin

  • MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH MY SECRET IDENTITY    126. A KISS FOR PAYMENT

    🌸VIOLET🌸 I looked at him. "I thought you just said that would do." "The fighting is finished." "Then what else is there?" "Payment." I blinked at him. "Payment?" "You heard me." I looked around the private gym before returning my attention to him. "You're charging me for training?" "Did you think it was free?" "You're rich, Xavier. I don't see why you would need to ask me for money." "Being rich doesn't mean everything I do for you is free." I folded my arms. "I don't have money." "I'm aware." "Then why are we having this conversation?" "Because you still haven't started your job." My eyebrows drew together. "What job?" He gave me a look that made the answer obvious. I stared at him. "You're still on about that?" "I'm offering you a promotion." I narrowed my eyes. "You mean the job you decided I should have?" "My personal stripper," he said, without the slightest hesitation. "You could consider it an upgrade." I let out a disbelieving breath. "Keep dreaming." "

  • MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH MY SECRET IDENTITY    125. A LITTLE EXTRA TRAINING

    🌸VIOLET🌸 The academy arena was already busy when I arrived. Several recruits were practising their movements while others worked in pairs under the instructors' supervision. I spotted Dorian near the centre of the training area, overseeing four members of my squad. His blue hair was tied away from his face, and he had his arms folded while one of the recruits attempted to complete a sequence of strikes. "Your balance is terrible," he said. The recruit stopped and looked at him. Dorian demonstrated the movement, making it look considerably easier than the recruit had managed. "You are putting too much weight on your front foot. If your opponent moves, you will fall before you even get the chance to defend yourself." I approached them, and Dorian noticed me. "Look who finally decided to join us." I smiled. "Good morning to you too." "Good morning, Violet." He stepped aside and gestured towards the training area. "Are you joining us, or are you here to supervise?" "I was pla

  • MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH MY SECRET IDENTITY    124. A DANGEROUS OBSERVATION

    🌸VIOLET🌸 I woke up smiling. It took me a few seconds to realise what was different about that morning. The sunlight coming through my curtains was no brighter than usual, the room hadn't changed, and I still had the same training schedule waiting for me. Yet I felt unusually light, and the moment I remembered what had happened the previous night, my smile widened. Xavier had kissed me. Not that it was the first time he had kissed me, but last night had been different. He had practically begged me to let him kiss him, and I had enjoyed every second of watching that arrogant man struggle to maintain his composure. I could still remember his arms around me, the way he had pulled me against his chest, and how he had held me afterwards as though he wasn't ready to let me go. I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling. I was in trouble. The funny thing was that I wasn't particularly interested in finding a way out of it anymore. I had spent so much time worrying about what wo

  • MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH MY SECRET IDENTITY    123. CHERRY BLOSSOMED KISS

    ♣️XAVIER♣️ Her lips parted. For one fucking second, I forgot where we were. I watched her mouth, waiting for the words I had been begging her to give me. I had spent the entire evening trying to behave myself, pretending that I could stand beside her without touching her, without pulling her against me, and without giving in to the temptation of those succulent lips. It had been torture. Ever since I had seen her at the estate in that fucking dress, I had wanted to drag her into my arms and kiss her until she forgot there was anyone else in the world. I had watched other men look at her tonight, and every time someone's attention lingered a second too long, I had imagined putting them in the ground. Then Javier had touched her. I had nearly cut his fucking hand off. He was still going to die. Now she was standing in my arms, looking at my mouth as though she was considering whether to give me what I wanted. I could feel her champagne-scented breath against my face, and the fa

  • MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH MY SECRET IDENTITY    122. PLEASE TELL ME TO KISS YOU

    🌸VIOLET🌸 The small blade was pressed firmly against Javier's wrist, the very hand he was using to hold mine. Xavier had pushed it hard enough to break the skin. A thin line of blood was already running down Javier's wrist. My eyes widened slightly. Xavier didn't even look at the wound. His attention remained fixed on Javier, his expression frighteningly calm. Javier's expression changed immediately. Even with the white mask covering half his face, I could see the colour draining from his features. "Alpha Xavier." His voice trembled. He released my hand so quickly that my fingers dropped against my side. "I—I was just…em. I should go." He didn't wait for either of us to respond. Javier moved away, almost stumbling as he disappeared into the crowd. I watched him go before looking at Xavier again. A server approached with a tray, and Xavier calmly took a napkin. He wiped the small amount of blood from the knife, folded the napkin over the stained part, and locked the blade b

  • MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH MY SECRET IDENTITY    121. THE ROYAL ENGAGEMENT CEREMONY

    🌸VIOLET🌸 I was beginning to think Xavier had developed a rather disturbing obsession with masks until we arrived at the royal courthouse. Apparently, the entire evening was an all-masked royal dinner party. A royal masquerade. Everywhere I looked, people wore elaborate masks. Some were decorated with gold, others with feathers, jewels, or intricate patterns that probably cost more than everything I owned. Men and women moved around the grand hall with champagne glasses in their hands, exchanging greetings and discussing matters that sounded important enough to bore me to death. I glanced down at my black gown before looking around again. So that was why he had insisted on the mask. My attention returned to him. I had been staring at him since we arrived, and I was beginning to suspect that I had developed a serious problem. When I first saw him standing beside the car at the estate, his eyes had travelled over me with an intensity that nearly made my knees give out. He had
