My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 124: The final truth
I was going through the stack of files that was a decade of information. It was receipts, reports, prescriptions and a whole lot more and the more I went through it the more gruesome everything looked like. The hospital bills were the first to catch my attention, endless charges for chemotherapy sessions, radiation appointments, blood work. The first one was a bomb blast of evidence. Blackwood, M. Test Type: Oncology Panel Result: Negative for malignancy. My flipped to the next page—another test report, almost identical in structure. This one was from St. Jude’s. Blackwood, M. Result: Stage II carcinoma—malignant cells present. Same date, this was the altered cancer test results Then came the prescriptions, one drug in particular repeating every month. An antiemetic, often paired with chemo from Everest Pharma. I shuffled faster, fingers flying past pages until I landed on the money logs. Wire transfers, Robert Blackwood to Everest Pharma. Robert Blackwood to Everest Pha
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 123: Different side of the same man
"Do you have any evidence of everything you are saying?” Ethan asked after an eternity of silence. “Receipts of the drugs you got, reports, her medical logs. Anything.”Dr. Callahan, squished in the back seat and then he gave a nervous laugh. “Of course I do, that’s the only reason your father still pays me.”Ethan looked genuinely, but he kept them on the road. “What do you mean?”I understood his curiosity because from the short time of knowing Robert Blackwood, he wasn't the type of man who gets blackmailed; he usually does the blackmailing.Callahan cleared his throat. “I kept copies of everything hidden away just in case.” He shrugged, trying to sound casual, but the way his voice shook gave him away. “It’s my lifeline. If something ever happens to me… well, it goes straight to the press. Or the cops.”Ethan chuckled, but it wasn’t funny. “So in essence you are blackmailing my father..”Callahan didn’t answer.“Give it to me,” Ethan said in a way that made it very clear that it w
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 122: The butter truth
I pressed myself against the door, my fingers curling into the armrest, trying to anchor myself in the overly intense chaos of everything. I guess Roberts phone call I my buttressed the fact that we knew he was involved with Callahan at this point the man needed to be nicknamed the freaking puppet master, because he not only loomed over every tragedy in Ethan’s life, but caused them And he was the man who pulled strings with people's lives. Callahan froze, his hand hovering over the phone. His eyes went to Ethan, then to me, pleading for mercy or a way out. “Answer it,” Ethan said. “And remember what I told you. One wrong move, and I will not hesitate to end you, maybe I am my father's son.” I knew Ethan well enough to know that he wasn't joking, I saw the rage in the way his shoulders were square and jaw clenching so tightly I thought his teeth might crack. Callahan swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing, and fumbled to pick up the phone. His hands trembled as he pressed i
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 121: A conversation with James Callahan
Ethan drove us to the golf club, but I supposed it was the one he played with Dr. Callahan.It was quiet with its wide lawns damp and other things I supposed were to be in a good club, I'm guessing because I have never been to one before.We pulled up near the clubhouse, Ethan’s eyes scanned the well groomed landscape until he spotted Callahan.He was dressed in soft grey slacks and a pristine polo shirt, one hand gloved, the other wrapped around a club. His swing was lazy and arrogant, like a man who didn’t have a care in the world.I could see why Ethan dominated him on the field.As we stopped a few feet away, he turned and smiled when he saw Ethan.“Well, well. Look who finally crawled out of the shadows,” he said smoothly, walking toward us. “You still haven’t taken me up on that rematch, Ethan or are you afraid I will beat you again?”“If my memory serves me right, I remember I was the one winning.”Callahan laughed and raised his hands like he was guilty. “You got me Ethan.”Et
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 120: They are unto us
Rachel took a long pause and then her eyes went to Ethan but I knew her next words were for me.“Do you even know why he is with you, Sophie?” she repeated. “Have you ever asked yourself what he really wants?”Ethan’s body stiffened like she was about to hit a nerve. His jaw clenched and his hands balled into fists at his sides.“Rachel,” he warned.But she ignored him, which was very predictable.She took a single step forward. “He found you at your lowest, didn’t he? When you had no one, when you were confused, vulnerable, lost…” She tilted her head. “That’s what he does. He thrives on women who need saving. But once you’re whole, he’ll walk away. Just like he always does.”My fingers clenched around the edge of my towel, knuckles white. “You’re lying.”Rachel didn’t flinch. “Am I? You never wondered why it was you? Of all people, why the broken, quiet girl who didn’t belong? Or did he make you feel special enough to ignore the math?”I turned to Ethan.He looked at me, but he was n
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 119: The steam room drama
I reached the door with incredible speed but before I could open it, Rachel's voice called out.“Sophie, please sit down, it's nothing important.”Her voice was sweet like she was trying to convince a child not to lick candy.I paused as my hand was on the doorframe every though. everywhere was heavy with steam“Are you sure?” I asked, turning slightly to face her.She gave me a nice innocent smile that did nothing to calm me down.“I am positive, it might just be a mix-up or someone looking for the wrong person.”She stepped closer with her usual calmness, but there was something about her that offered the fact that this wasn't the Rachel I was friends with.Her fingers brushed my arm lightly like she was coaxing me back into the tub.“Come on,” she said. “Let it go, we are supposed to be relaxing, remember?”I hesitated but eventually, I sat down even though I didn't want to.My mind was far from calm. It was racing, I could hear Ethan's voice pleading for me to stay and the way Rac
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 118: Spa's and lies
I turned back to Ethan, his hand still hovering like he wanted to reach for me again but didn’t dare.“Ethan,” I said, almost begging him to say, “What were you going to say?”His eyes met mine. “Don’t trust her, Sophie.”My pulse jumped. “Why? Make me believe you just don't tell me what to do.” He opened his mouth to speak but then Rachel appeared with a smile on her face.She was dressed in something effortless and expensive, her designer sunglasses pushed up into her waves. She looked like a magazine cover come to life.“Sophie, oh my God,” she said, eyeing me from head to toe. “That dress is stunning on you, you’re glowing!”I blinked, still wanting Ethan to speak, but I could tell he wasn't going to Rachel's gaze went right past Ethan like he wasn’t even breathing in the same room.“I’m parked outside. Come on, they’re expecting us you are gonna thank me by noon.”She held out her hand and I was about to take it, Ethan stepped between us.“She’s not going with you.”Rachel’s sm
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 117: Her apology and his warning
Sophie's POVRachel kept on talking as if what Ethan was saying wasn't her concern.“Well don't listen to Ethan, what I planned was amazing.” Her eyes gleaming with excitement. “It will be just us girls and I have got us booked at Valentina’s, with all the VIP things, steam rooms, facials, massages—the works.” She paused and glared at Ethan. “You will love it, Sophie. So relaxing, play you need to loosen up.”I opened my mouth, unsure what to say.Ethan didn’t say anything., but I could sense that he had a lot to say. “I thought it would be nice for her to get a break from all… this.”She waved vaguely toward him, but we both knew what she meant, that Ethan was the problem here.That’s when Ethan coughed out loud.Rachel flinched before regaining her sugar-drenched composure. “Just saying—it’s bonding and I am trying.”Ethan stepped forward, clenching his jaw. “Sophie is not going anywhere.”Rachel scoffed, tossing her hair over her shoulder like the queen of chaos she thought she wa
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 116: Ethan's damage control
Sophie's POVEthan was pacing my room, like a mad man on rampage and I actually understood where he was coming from.“He’s been sending money to Callahan.” He repeated.He kept walking and then finally he started staggering and the, his back but the wall and he sank like his legs gave up on him, he looked like he was about to drown.His hands clawed at his shirt, as he was hyperventilating.I walked up to him and then dropped to my knees to stay beside him. “Ethan, hey please look at me.”But he didn’t look.“Ethan—look at me.” I repeated as I cupped his face trying to make him feel calm, my thumbs brushed over his cheeks. His eyes were glassy like he wanted to cry, but he was trying to hold it together.“Breathe with me,” I said calmly. “Okay? In... one, two... hold it. Now out. Nice and slow.”I repeated it until I felt him mimic my breathing and then his breathing calmed down, our backs were against the wall looking like two people whose life was over.He let his head fall forward
