last update Last Updated: 2025-03-03 17:04:20

The wedding rehearsal dinner was exactly what I had expected, it was lavish, excessive, and filled with people who thrived on appearances.

It was the kind of event where people pretended to be happy, pretended to be invested, but in reality, they were just waiting for the perfect moment to sink their claws into someone else's life, and my mother was at the center of it all.

She laughed a little too loudly, touched Robert a little too often, and made sure every single person in the room knew how “blissfully happy” she was. But it wasn’t just Robert she was entertaining. I caught the way men looked at her as if she were a prize to be won. She knew it too, and from the way she entertained them I was almost certain she had found her next husband here.

But if you ask me, This rehearsal dinner was pointless. My mother and Robert had been married more times than I could count, if anyone knew how to say “I do,” it was them.

I drained my third glass of wine, feeling the more then fed up, the w

    Ethan's POV I wanted to kill Rachel.I should have but unfortunately you couldn't go around killing people, no matter how much they deserve it.But I did my own part in making her life freaking miserable, it first started with blocking all her credit cards I got an ear full from her but I. likdnf care less.All he had left was what her precious daddy gives her and knowing Robert he isn't keen in letting his 'hard earned' money.But when she saw I wasn't budging, the manipulative tactics started, she said how sorry she was and how she would fix it but then it switched to her screaming and shouting.I couldn't care less Next was Alex, the bike stupid motherfucker, the warning I have him the first time wasn't enough, but he had to continue helping Rachel.The guy I hired to rough him up didn't do enough for me, but all I know was that he wasn't ever going to get a job again.He was gone.And for my father and Callahan... I would deal with them when all this has gone down.My tie was as

  • My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother!   Chapter 138: New jobs and hush money

    William Carson’s office is a warm and homely, it was a stark contrast to Ethan's high stake high budget office.I internally face palmed myself as I felt bad for comparing this place to Blackwood's corp.The only thing that looked grand was the very expensive book stacks on the shelf, and a framed photo of him in a suit looking way younger.There wasn't any family photo in sight, I wonder why since he looked old enough to have kids.He smiled and then gestured to a chair across from his desk. “Take a seat, Sophie,” he said in his strangely calming voice.There was a way he was slouching, slightly mirroring mine when I was very exhausted, I brushed it off trying to see it as me being very nervous.I sat on the soft leather chair as I closed my eyes for a split second, offering a silent prayer to all the gods in heaven—Christian, Muslim, pagan, any who will listen—Please, do not let me jinx this.This is my shot, Do not let me screw it up. My palms are sweaty, my resume a crumpled shie

  • My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother!   Chapter 137: Not so new beginings

    It's been less than a day since I got the eviction notice and from the stern look on my landlords face, I knew he was serious.I wouldn't be surprised if Rachel has paid him to evict me, at this point nothing could catch me off guard.But enough of the conspiracy theory, now I was packing my whole life into cardboard boxes.I was too young to be facing this kind of problem, but who could I cry to? I had no job, no savings, no one to call.I knew if I called Ethan he would get me an apartment as soon as possible but my feminine pride would rather be homeless or living undera bridge than accept money from a filthy Blackwood.Yes! I called them filthy, and I will do it again.But the only thing I kept getting from Ethan was him constantly bugging my phone with text.My phone binged and I figured it was another text from Ethan using an unknown number. “Sophie, please” I deleted it fast as I shoved clothes into a box, it was just jeans, hoodies, the stupid dress from the gala, torn and us

  • My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother!   Chapter 136: An all time low

    “What the fucking hell do you want, Alex?” I said out loud letting him notice my frustration and anger.Of all low life mother fuckers that I can meet today, it has to be Alex.He removed his hoodie and saw him looking like an absolute shit, he had bags under his eyes and his hair was a mess as his mustache was not even groomed.I wanted to scream and shout but it still kept my cool "You and Lily ruined my life once and now you did it again with Rachel but now you have come to gloat about the video, too?”He raised his hands, his smirk fading, his eyes darting like a cornered animal.I was expecting his usual half assed apology so I folded my arms looking angry as hell."Sophie, I am not here to fight. I am in trouble, like really bad trouble. I need your help. Please, just hear me out. Follow me to my car—it’s not safe here.”I laughed out loud at the audacity of this guy. “Your car? You think I am stupid enough to go anywhere with you? After what you did?” I tightened my grip on

  • My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother!   Chapter 135: The confrontation that was also meant to happen

    I couldn't help but wonder who the person who texted was.My guess was either Ethan trying to beg and then maybe Rachel trying to feed me poison again.I wanted to ignore this and act as if I never got a text but then I knew I couldn't ignore it .Curiosity was a indeed a disease.What if it was a trap, another way to drag me through the mud? My thumb hovered over the call button, my gut screaming to let it go, but I needed to know. I hit call button as my pulse was beating fast.The I heard Ethan's familiar voice. “Sophie?”Ethan. My blood boiled as unwanted to scream. “Stay the fuck away from me,” I spat out as my voice was shaking."You don’t get to do this, Ethan. You don’t get to text me like nothing happened, like you didn’t lie, didn’t let your darling sister Rachel turn my life into a fucking spectacle.”"Sophie, please,” he said sounding very weak. "I thought I had deleted the video from everywhere I swear, I never expected her to pull this stunt, I am trying to fix this—

  • My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother!   Chapter 134: Blood doesn't mean bond

    I took one last look at Ethan as his grey eyes couldn't even face me.I tried to convince myself that he didn't deserve my tears.I met my mother's eyes, she was standing beside Robert Blackwood, her hand tucked into his arm.She still looked beautiful but her face was pale, her lips pressed tight. Our eyes met, and for a moment and time stopped. I didn't know what I expected, that he left her dearest husband's hands and come to comfort her daughter, maybe I was a fool for believing she would do that.She couldn't even meet my eyes as she looked away, her hand tightening on Robert’s, her head turning to him as if I didn’t exist. That one gesture hit harder than Rachel’s, Ethan’s lies, or not even the video playing on that massive screen. My mother had made her choice, and it wasn’t me. It never had been and it will never be.I wanted to scream, to run to her, to demand why she always chose them—her men, her status, her need for freaking money.But she was also a Blackwood by prox
