My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 112: The Face She Never Knew
The cabin was silent.Brianna sat alone at the kitchen table, the file spread before her, her father's photograph in her hands. She had been staring at it for a long time. The face. The smile. The eyes that looked so much like her own.She had never met him. She had never heard his voice. She had never known what it felt like to be held by him. But she knew him now. She knew what he had done. She knew what he had tried to do. She knew what had been taken from him.Her thumb traced the edge of the photograph."Antonio Rossi," she whispered. "My father."The name felt strange in her mouth. Foreign. Like something she had borrowed from someone else's life.She set the photograph down. Picked up the next page. A letter he had written to her mother, never sent.Eloise,I know you told me to stay away. I know you said it's better this way. But I can't stop thinking about her. About our daughter. I see her face in my dreams. I hear her voice in the silence. I know she is out there, and I kno
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 111: The Target's Truth
The cabin was quiet when they returned from the police station.Brianna sat at the kitchen table, the file spread before her, her eyes moving across the pages. She had read everything. The biography. The evidence. The letters. But there was one section she had not yet fully examined.The target file.She pulled it out of the folder. It was marked with a red stamp. CONFIDENTIAL. She opened it.The first page was a photograph of her father. Antonio Rossi. Standing outside the courthouse. The same photograph she had seen in the velvet box. But there was more now. Notes. Dates. Locations.She read the words carefully.Target: Antonio Rossi. Objective: Prevent testimony. Method: Kidnapping. Location: To be determined. Team: Eric Van Doren, Declan Van Doren, Viktor.She read it three times."Kidnapping."Dawson looked up from his own papers."What?"She held up the page."The target order. It wasn't assassination. It was kidnapping."He walked over to her. He looked at the page. His face we

The file was thick.Inspector Rossi handed it across his desk, his face unreadable, his eyes steady on hers. Brianna took it with both hands, her fingers trembling against the worn cardboard cover."Everything I have," Rossi said. "Everything your father collected. Every piece of evidence. Every witness statement. Every name."She looked at the file."He gave you all of this?""He gave me copies." Rossi leaned back in his chair. "He knew Declan would come for him. He wanted to make sure the truth survived."She opened the file.The first page was a biography. Typewritten. Neat. Organized. She read the words slowly, letting them sink in.Antonio Rossi. Born in Florence, 1965. Educated at the University of Bologna. Graduated with honors in law. Entered public service in 1990.She turned the page.His career was laid out before her in careful detail. Every position. Every accomplishment. Every battle he had fought. He had started small, as a clerk in the local court. He had worked his wa

My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 108: The Blood in Her Veins
The cabin was quiet when they walked inside.Brianna sat on the couch, the locket still in her hand, her father's face still in her mind. Dawson sat beside her. He did not speak. He just waited.She opened the locket again. Looked at the photograph. At the smile that had been frozen in time."The Governor," she said. "Antonio Rossi. He's my father."Dawson was quiet for a moment."Yes."She looked at him."You knew."He shook his head."I suspected. But I didn't know for sure. Not until you found the file."She looked back at the photograph."He's been dead for weeks. And I never even knew who he was."Dawson reached for her hand."You know now."She pulled her hand free. She stood up. Walked to the window."He was going to testify against Declan. He had evidence. He had witnesses. He was going to bring the whole thing down." Her voice was shaking. "And Declan killed him for it."Dawson rose. He walked toward her."Brianna."She turned. Her eyes were wet."He was my father. He loved m
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 107: The Face in the Locket
The file was still on the table when Brianna stood up.Her legs were unsteady. Her hands were shaking. But her eyes were dry. She had cried enough. Now it was time to fight.Dawson rose with her."Where are you going?""To see my mother."He reached for her hand."I'll come with you."She shook her head."No. I need to do this alone."He was quiet for a moment. Then he nodded."I'll be here when you get back."She touched his face."I know."The drive to her mother's apartment was short.She sat in the car for a moment after she parked. The building was quiet. The windows were dark. She had not called ahead. She wanted to see her mother's face when she asked.She walked up the stairs. Knocked on the door.Eloise opened it. Her face was pale, her eyes red. She had been crying."Brianna.""I need to see it."Eloise's face went white."See what?""The locket. The one you've been hiding."Eloise stepped back. Let her in.They sat in the small living room. The morning light was gray. The c

The dress hung on the back of her door like a ghost.Brianna had found it in the back of her closet that morning, buried under clothes she never wore. Simple. Navy blue. Long sleeves. A neckline that didn't invite attention. It belonged to Dawson's mother, left behind in a room that had been untouc

The photos slid off Brianna's lap and scattered across the floor mats of the Bugatti. Pictures of her walking to class. Pictures of her mother crying on a park bench. Pictures of Brianna sleeping in her old bedroom, taken through the window."You're sick," Brianna whispered. The air in the car sudd

The glass of whiskey in Eric’s hand tilted as he took a step closer, the amber liquid swirling like his dark intentions. The lock on the door clicked with a finality that made the air in the room turn thin."Don't look so terrified, Brianna," Eric said, his voice dropping to that patronizing, sicke

The sun hadn't even fully risen when the door to Brianna’s new bedroom creaked open. She scrambled to sit up, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest.It was her mother. Eloise was already dressed in a sharp power suit, looking like she hadn't spent the night in a house full of monsters. She didn
