She walked in on his betrayal. Five years later, he became her family. Ashley thought the worst night of her life was the one that shattered her heart, when she caught the man she loved with her best friend. She left without looking back, vowing never to see him again. But fate isn’t that kind. Five years later, she returns to New York, engaged, successful, and ready to move on. Until one shocking introduction changes everything. Jake, her ex, is now her stepbrother. Living under the same roof with the man who broke her should have been impossible. But what’s worse? The way her heart still races when he’s near… and the way he looks at her like he never let her go. As buried secrets begin to surface, Ashley is forced to question everything she thought she knew about that night, the betrayal, the lies… and the people she trusted most. Because the truth is far more dangerous than she imagined. And the line between love and destruction? She’s about to cross it.

My Ex, My stepbrother, My Ruin Ashley would get the highest shares
Ashley's POV “What was that about?”That was the first thing he asked the moment we stepped out of the basement. Thankfully, Jake hadn't followed us out.“It was nothing,” I replied as we walked toward the dining table.He stopped so suddenly that I almost bumped into him, then sucked in a sharp breath.“Don't you dare lie to me.” His voice came out hard, edged with anger. “What the hell were you doing with him alone?”“I said it was nothing.”I just wished he could let it go, but I understood why he couldn't. If I were the one who caught him alone with Ava, I'd be suspicious too.He turned to me, biting down on his lower lip like he was trying to keep his temper in check, but the storm in his eyes gave him away.“You have to believe me,” I said softly, reaching up to cup both his cheeks playfully, the way I always did whenever I knew I'd messed up and wanted my way back into his good graces.“I want to,” he replied, his tone distant as his hand came up to hold mine against his cheek

Ashley's POV For a moment, I stood there, stiff as brick as his lips claimed mine. My mind went blank. His arms around me were tight, like he had been holding this hunger in for so long.My eyes stayed wide open, but my lips melted against his against my will. I kissed him back, feeling the heat of his body pressed against mine.For a moment, my guard slipped, and everything I had tried so hard to bury came rushing back, the fact that I missed his lips, missed the warmth of his body, and the way he touched me.But then reality hit me hard.What the hell was I doing? Kissing the same lips that had kissed that traitor for the past five years?How did I even let this happen?I shoved him away, my expression twisting with shock and anger.Who told him he could kiss me like that?I saw the remorse and regret in his eyes, but I didn't care. He should never have kissed me.I knew he was about to apologize, but before he could even speak, I raised my hand and slapped him hard across the chee

Ashley's POVFor a moment, I couldn’t find my voice. My thoughts scattered like frightened birds, leaving my mind frustratingly empty. It was as though his presence alone had stolen every word I had, pinning me in place beneath the weight of his stare.“Why do you always run from me?”This time, his voice dropped lower, rough and husky, curling around me like heat in the cold night air.My heart slammed painfully against my ribs, each beat louder than the last, and I hated how my body still reacted.No, he wasn’t supposed to do this to me anymore.Not after everything.Swallowing hard and tore my gaze away from his piercing eyes, desperate to steady myself before he saw the crack in my armor.“What exactly am I supposed to listen to, Jake?” I shot back, forcing my tone to stay sharp even as my pulse betrayed me. All I wanted was for him to move, to step aside, to let me breathe again.But he didn’t.“Look me in the eye and say it, Ash.”His words were quiet, but they hit harder than a

Ashley’s POV“How did you even know about that conversation?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.“That doesn’t matter.” He brushed it off, his tone cold. “What matters is why you told people we changed our minds before talking to me.”“Baby…” I stepped closer, trying to ease the tension between us. “It’s not what you think…..”“Oh really?” he snapped, cutting me off. “Then what should I think?”I swallowed hard, forcing myself to stay calm.“You should’ve heard me out first,” I said. “I never told anyone we changed our minds.”His stare hardened.“Then what happened?”I exhaled shakily.“My mother came earlier. She begged me to stay until Thanksgiving.” My voice wavered slightly. “I told her I’d talk to you first.”“You’re lying.”The accusation hit me like a slap.A bitter laugh escaped my lips as I stared at him in disbelief.“Lying?” I repeated, stepping closer. “You’ve known me for years, yet you’d rather believe someone else over me?”Anger burned through my chest now.He sighed,

Ashley's POVThe words sliced through the room like a blade. My hands froze beneath the running water and a bitter ache coiled tightly in my chest.Sometimes, I barely recognized the girl standing in front of me. The same girl who had once been my best friend.How did she turn out so evil? Or had s
My Ex, My stepbrother, My Ruin suspicious call
Ashley's POVI jerked my hand away from his instantly, the contact breaking like it burned, and turned to my mother.She stood by the door, her handbag hanging from her hand, brows drawn together, eyes sharp with unasked questions.Great. I needed a way out of this. If not, she’d start asking quest
My Ex, My stepbrother, My Ruin He still remembers
Ashley's POVI walked William to the Uber that had come to take him to the airport. The low hum of the engine cut through the quiet night. His flight to Paris was scheduled for 9 p.m.“I wish you could stay with me,” I said, wrapping my arms around him tightly as we stood by the front door.“Me too
My Ex, My stepbrother, My Ruin Jake and Ava are together
Ashley’s POV My body went rigid as I watched her catwalk into the living room like some over-pampered princess, heels clicking softly against the floor. She didn’t look any different from when I knew her five years ago. The same sharp, hazel eyes, and her curls, now a rich brown instead of the jet
