That night, I couldn’t sleep. I struggled between going to knock on Sage’s door, but I was too distraught even to do so. I couldn’t stop replaying the way she had looked at me. So, I had gone to my study instead and drowned myself in whiskey. By the next morning, when I finally summoned the strength to prepare for work, I noticed Sage’s room was still locked. Loren was setting up the table for breakfast, but my stomach was in knots, and food was honestly the last thing on my mind.

So, I had ski

    The knock at the door startled me, breaking the spell Kaid had cast with his lips. My breath came unevenly, my heart pounding in my chest. “Who is that?” My voice was barely above a whisper.A familiar voice answered from the other end of the door. “Sage?” My Mom. “I was retiring for the night and thought I heard some noise.” She spoke. I watched the door in fright. My Mom could come in at any time. How do I explain Kaid’s presence in my room? “I’m fine—it’s nothing,” I gasped, unable to control the shock that coursed through me in that instant. My Mum was right outside, and Kaid had the nerve to kiss my neck despite knowing it was my soft spot.“Sage, are you sure?” She asked again, and I could feel her presence close.“Yes—Yes, I’m fine. I woke up to get some water. Good Night,” I spoke hurriedly, smothering a gasp with my palm when Kaid’s kisses trailed down between my breasts.“Kaid,” I hissed, trying to push him back, but he only smirked against my skin, his hand sliding to res

  • Married to my stepbrother boss.   Chapter 123 — Familiar warmth.

    “Kaid,” I let out a soft gasp. “What are you doing here?” My voice was groggy, but sharp enough to cut through the silence. He didn’t flinch, but I noticed the way his jaw clenched and unclenched like he was struggling with what he wanted to say. His gaze was steady, almost desperate. “I came to ask you myself… if you truly want to divorce me.” I sat up straighter, the blanket falling from my shoulders. “You came here, at this hour, to ask me that? Kaid, it’s past midnight. Shouldn’t you be asleep by now or doing something, anything you would normally do? We have nothing to talk about. Just sign the papers so we can part ways.” Gods! What had gotten into him? This was his father’s house for Christ's sake! He couldn’t just come into my room at will. His jaw tightened, and before I could turn away, he interrupted, “So you can be with Alfred?” The words hit me like cold water. Sleep flew out the window. I scoffed, shaking my head. “Despite what you think, there is nothing going on b

  • Married to my stepbrother boss.   Chapter 122 — Hard Times.

    I thought I was getting over him. Truly, I did. For weeks, I had cried and soaked my pillows with tears. I had been depressed, even, and then I had picked myself up. There was no point hurting myself over and over again because of him. I mean, I was too broken with everything that had transpired between us, the pain, the toxic love. I felt drained, and my mind was a mess when Vivian returned, claiming she was pregnant. Even when we got to find out the truth from my father about her involvement in the death of Kaid’s mother and sister, and our plans to work together, I realized I kept slipping into the version of Kaid I knew. And I realized, I didn’t trust him. Yes, I did love him, but I couldn’t trust him, not his actions, nor his words. And when I decided on the divorce and threw myself into work and making new friends, I told myself that the ache was fading, that the sharp edges of memory were dulling, that I could breathe without feeling the weight of Kaid’s presence pressing agai

  • Married to my stepbrother boss.   Chapter 121 — A plea to let go.

    I knew the moment she shook her head that there was no turning back. Sage’s eyes didn’t waver, not even for a heartbeat, and her voice carried the kind of finality that left no room for argument. “There is nothing between us, Kaid,” she said, each word deliberate, like stones laid to build a wall. “I’m glad you’re finally getting what you always wanted. But I want peace. I’ve started a new life for myself.” Her hand pressed against the door, and before I could gather the courage to respond, she pushed it open. The sound of the hinges was louder than it should have been, echoing in my chest. She ignored me completely, stepping into the warm light of the house as though I were nothing more than a shadow clinging to the threshold. I stood there, half in the night, half in the glow spilling from inside, when Elizabeth’s voice rang out from the doorway. “Sage? Is that you? Are you back?” Sage’s tone softened when she answered, though it carried none of the warmth she once reserved for

  • Married to my stepbrother boss.   Chapter 120 — No place to run.

    No sooner had Vivian left the building did I finally put a call across to Parker. “She just left the premises. Do what you must.” I said with my voice sounding grave. I didn’t find relief even after confronting Vivian with her crimes. Instead, I felt worse. I recollected how I had thought I had gotten everything right and my revenge well thought out. To think that the culprit all along was right beside me. I imagined her laughing her head off at how gullible I was, how gullible we all were. Each of us playing according to her game. Anger surged through me, hot and fast. I swung my hand straight for the glass table before I could stop myself. It wasn’t enough for me any longer to find the truth; I was going to make her pay, and Parker was going to help me do just that. I figured sending her to prison now would not grant me any respite. Not after she had murdered members of my family. I was going to make her confess with Parker’s help. A loud gasp brought my mind back to my surroun

  • Married to my stepbrother boss.   Chapter 119 — Flight.

    Panic filled my lungs as I watched Kaid sit in silence, smoking quietly. The silence was deafening. It felt like a storm brewing. A few moments later, some two burly men walked into the house and marched up the stairs without saying a word. And before I could register what was going on, I heard loud noises. They appeared shortly after, and they were moving my luggage. My gaze snapped back to Kaid, who was seated calmly watching the whole scene unfold like a spectator. “Kaid, why are they moving my things already? It’s late. I know it's aid, I was going to move, but does it need to be tonight?” He didn’t respond. He didn’t need to say a word. I could feel the air thick with tension. There was more, I could feel it. “You’ve got the nerve, Vivian. You come into my home, ruin my marriage, bring a bastard for me to claim, switch DNA reports, murder someone—” he paused. “And you have the effrontery to talk to me like you have a say in my life? Who the hell do you think you are?” I gaspe

    After Alfred and I exchanged contact, I stayed for a while waiting for my order. I had ordered some pastries to take home with me. My time was my own now. I still had to take a detour to the company to work on a few campaign plans I intended to carry out soon to put the company out there. As I ste

    I was on my second cup of coffee, waiting for my client who had rescheduled for the third time in a row. His company was about five years old but had hit a roadblock and was trying to salvage the situation. The banks were on him as well as investors. I had gotten him through a referral from one of

    The morning was heavy with silence. I was still lost in thought. I had tried to talk to Sage again, but realized that I had been blocked when Parker walked into my office. He was unusually serious. His eyes shadowed with the kind of news that carried weight. I looked up from his desk, sensing the t

    Just then, I heard someone scoff behind me. As soon as I turned to look, it was Sage. She looked at me with disdain and shook her head.“Are you bothering my mum with your lies again?” She asked,“Sage, no, I—I came to see you.” I immediately stood up, swallowing slightly. She was glowing. Not to m
