My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 50: The Truth Between Them
The elevator was silent.Brianna stood with her back against the wall, Dawson's hand still on her arm, his grip too tight, his face too still. The numbers on the panel climbed. Five. Six. Seven. She watched them without seeing them.The folder. Her name. The truth about her father.She opened her mouth to speak. Dawson shook his head. He looked at the ceiling, at the corners of the elevator, at the small black dome of a camera. Not here. Not now.The doors opened on the eighth floor. He pulled her down the hallway, past doors, past ice machines, past a cart of towels that smelled like bleach. He stopped at a door at the end. Swiped a card. The lock clicked.He pushed her inside.The room was dark. She heard him close the door, turn the lock, slide the chain. He moved through the dark, checking the windows, the bathroom, the closet. She stood in the middle of the room, her arms wrapped around herself, waiting.A lamp clicked on. He stood by the window, his back to her, his hands on the

The car pulled into the hotel driveway. The building rose above them, old stone, dark windows, the lake lapping at the walls below. A man in a black suit was waiting at the entrance. He did not smile.Dawson's hand tightened on hers. "Stay close to me. No matter what happens."She nodded. Her heart was already pounding.They stepped out of the car. The cold hit her face, sharp and clean. The man in the suit opened the door. She saw a lobby, marble floors, a fire burning in a fireplace. She saw a woman behind a desk, her face pale, her eyes fixed on Dawson.She saw the men standing near the elevators. Three of them. Not hotel staff. Their suits were too dark, their hands too still, their eyes too careful.Dawson saw them too. His hand moved to her back, pressing her forward.They crossed the lobby. The men watched. One of them spoke into his sleeve.The elevator doors opened.Dawson pulled her inside. The doors closed. She leaned against the wall and tried to breathe."Who are they?"H
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 48: The Price of Silence
The car was waiting at the gates.Brianna walked through the foyer with Dawson's hand still in hers, her bag over her shoulder, the gray dress moving against her legs. She could feel Declan watching from the study doorway. She did not look at him.Eloise was standing at the front door.She had changed clothes since the morning. A silk blouse. Tailored pants. Diamond studs in her ears that Brianna had never seen before. She looked like a woman who belonged in this house. She looked like a stranger.Dawson stopped when he saw her. His grip tightened on Brianna's hand.Eloise's eyes moved to their linked fingers. Her face did not change."Leaving so soon?"Brianna stepped forward. "You knew we were leaving."Eloise moved aside, let them pass. Her heels clicked on the marble. She followed them down the steps, toward the car, toward the gate."Francesca told me. Geneva. Important business." Her voice was light. "Dawson's taking good care of you."The driver opened the door. Dawson handed B
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 47: The Weight of Going
The kitchen felt empty without him.Brianna stood by the counter, her coffee growing cold, her fingers still tingling from where his lips had been. She listened to the sound of his footsteps fade down the hallway, the low murmur of voices in the study, the click of a door closing.She should go upstairs. Change out of the dress he had bought her. Pretend the note had never happened, the kiss had never happened, the morning had been like any other morning in a house that was not hers.Instead she stood at the window, watching the gardens, and waited.Twenty minutes passed.She heard the study door open. Footsteps in the hallway. Dawson's voice, sharp, controlled, the voice he used when he was holding something back."We leave tonight."She turned. He was standing in the kitchen doorway, his face tight, his hands shoved into his pockets."Geneva. There's a shipment. Assets that need to be moved before the investigation goes public."Her father's investigation. The testimony that would n
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 46: The Note
Morning came through the curtains soft and gray.Brianna woke with the sweater still wrapped around her, the cashmere warm against her skin, the smell of Dawson's soap still clinging to the fabric. She lay still for a moment, watching the light move across the ceiling, listening to the house wake up around her.She had slept. Really slept. For the first time in weeks, there had been no dreams, no waking in the dark with her heart pounding, no staring at the window waiting for Eric's face to appear.She sat up. The room was hers now. The clothes in the closet. The sheets on the bed. The dress in its box. She looked at them and felt something she could not name. Gratitude. Fear. The weight of being seen.She got up. Walked to the closet. Ran her fingers over the fabrics he had chosen. Silk. Wool. Cashmere. Things she had never owned, never touched, never let herself want.She pulled out a dress. Gray. Simple. It would fit. She knew it would fit. He had thought about that too.She was ho
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 45: The Weight of Silk
She had been standing at her door for a long time.The hallway was quiet. The house had settled into its night rhythm, the old wood creaking, the radiators ticking. She could hear nothing from Dawson's room, nothing from Declan's study, nothing from the empty rooms where her mother and Raven had slept.She opened her door.The room was different.She stood in the doorway, her hand still on the knob, and stared at a space that did not look like hers. The bed had new sheets, deep blue, the color of the dress she had worn to the gala. The curtains were open, moonlight spilling across a floor that had been cleared of her few possessions. Her laptop was gone. Her books. The small bag she had brought from her mother's apartment.In their place, there were clothes.They hung from the open closet, a row of silk and wool and cashmere, colors she had never worn, fabrics she had never touched. Dresses. Coats. Blouses in soft cream and pale gray. A black dress that would have cost her mother's re
