Nora’s POV

While Jeremy spoke to whoever on the phone, I tried figuring out how to stay still in the little compartment where I hid. I peeped out from a little hole and saw him pacing around the room.

“Where are you, Noey?” He repeated again and again.

All of a sudden, my phone rang, I nearly jumped out of my skin. It was so loud that I assumed it was with me.

Gosh! I was fucked.

I checked my pocket but it wasn't there, it was probably in my room. I had gotten so scared, I didn't need Jeremy to find me up here in his study and lock me up in that room for the second time.

Jeremy rushed to my room. I then used that opportunity to sneak out of his study and headed towards the torture room so it would seem like I had been there this whole time.

“Where have you been?” He questioned me from behind.

I turned swiftly, “I am searching for my phone, I went to check that room to see if I left it behind.” I avoided his eyes.

“Here is your phone, it was in your room.” He walked slowly towards me,

  • MY MAFIA STEPBROTHER WANTS ME   Chapter 42

    JEREMYI left the VIP room in all hopes that Nora would listen to me and go home because I was not sure how the meeting with the Venom clan was going to end.“Venom clan’s in the east wing,” Denver said, falling into step beside me. His tone had changed—low, alert, all business now. “They came in armed, Jeremy. They said they wanted to talk, but you and I both know what that means.”“I know,” I said flatly. “Let’s hear them out before I decide who dies first.”I didn’t let the word ‘armed’ change my pace. Threats were part of the job. Betrayals were the part that never got any easier. “Then let them speak,” I said. “We’ll see what kind of courage they brought with their mouths.”We turned down the hallway that led to the private back lounge—a place built for discreet deals, far from the music and chaos of the main club. Two of my men flanked the door, guns visible under their jackets. They stepped aside as I pushed the door open.The Venom clan was already there. Five of them, dressed

    NORAJeremy snapped my fingers and the bouncers moved like trained dogs. The VIP booth emptied faster than I expected, people who had been laughing a second ago now scrambled out, eyes lowered, heels clacking.Denver stayed behind, rubbing his jaw like he had a headache. He was trying to be useful, but Jeremy told him to leave too, not in a disrespectful way. I didn’t move. I sat there like a portrait, one leg crossed over the other.“You want something,” I said. “Want something? Why the fuck are you at a club?” He furiously said.I scrunched my nose. “The same reason you are here… To have fun.” Anger lingered in his eyes. I still sat there like the main character and watched his face burn red with anger.I didn’t plan on going to the club. Laurel is the club person but she coerced me into going because she wanted to ‘cheer me up.’ But, I knew it was because she had a huge crush on one of the bartenders. She spoke about him anytime she got the chance she got to.I never knew the cl

    JEREMYI paced back and forth in my study. I could not get the image of Nora in that red dress out of my head.And the email? She sounded like she didn't need me anymore.My laptop chimed. I ran to it thinking it was Nora.My anxiety changed to dissapointment on seeing Denver’s text. “Remember the meeting by 10am.”“Cancel the meeting. I don't owe them anymore. I only decided to marry Madison, not because they suggested it but because it was the best decision for the council. I am their capo and they should learn to respect that.” I typed furiously and hit the send button.“Club by 10pm tonight.” I added.I clenched my jaw. Of course. Work. The one thing that never let me breathe.“Cancel the meeting,” I typed sharply. “I don’t owe them anything. I agreed to marry Madison because it was best for the council, not because they suggested it. I’m their capo—they should remember that.”I hit send and leaned back, exhaling. My reflection on the dark laptop screen looked like a stranger. Ey

    NORAZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. A call from Laurel got me out of bed.“Laurel, it’s 5:34 a.m.” My voice was hoarse, thick with sleep.“Yeah, yeah, whatever. Girl, what did I see on your I*******m? You looked stunning in that red dress.” Her voice was way too bubbly for that hour.I rubbed my eyes, squinting at the dim light slipping through my curtains. “You woke me up to talk about a dress?”“Yes, ma’am! Because that was not just any dress. That was a statement. You were giving the main character soft revenge.”Laurel always had that bright energy. “You’re ridiculous.” I couldn’t help but smile.“And you love me,” she said, laughing. “Come on, spill. What happened last night? I saw Jeremy in one of the background clips.” I sighed, leaning against my headboard. “It was his engagement dinner, after all”There was silence. “And…?”“And nothing,” I said softly. “I walked in, he looked... shocked, I guess. Everyone went quiet for a second. Then dinner went on.”Laurel hummed dramatically. “Mmmmm

    JEREMYNora looked like sin wrapped in the red dress.The red dress clung to her like it was made for her— every curve, every breath, every quiet defiance captured in fabric. The color wasn’t just red, it was the kind that made people stop mid-sentence.It shimmered faintly under the bright lights of the chandelier, tracing the shape of her hips as if the dress itself worshipped her body.Her shoulders were bare, delicate, and her neckline dipped just enough to tease, not beg. The slit up her thigh made it impossible not to look twice. Her hair fell softly over one shoulder, framing her face perfectly well.And her eyes… her eyes? It looked fiery. She looked dangerous in that dress.“Glad you could join us.” Don Sullivan's thick voice brought me out of my thoughts.“You know the dress color on the invitation was black, right?” Madison couldn’t wait for her to sit before resuming her bickering.Nora tilted her head, a faint smile playing on her lips as she met Madison’s stare.“I kno

    Chapter 37JEREMYThe smell of oud filled the air as I adjusted my tie and glanced at the clock.It was 7:30 a.m. I was running late for a meeting at the office with the shareholders, but I didn’t care much. My mind has been elsewhere lately. I have been restless, distracted, hovering between what I had and what I would lose. I had not seen Nora since she went on a driving spree and Laurel and Denver advised me not to call her for a while.In her words. “Give her the space she needs for now.”I used the elevator since I was in a hurry. I walked over to the console table to pick my coffee. My chef knows best to place my coffee on the table every morning.I could smell Nora’s cologne even though the smell of the espresso tried to overshadow it. I looked around but she was not on the dining table.I bent over to pick my coffee and my keys slipped from my pocket, straight underneath the table.“Fuck!” I bent over to pick it and that was when I noticed it. A cream-colored envelope. The sea
