My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 94: The Truth About Her Mother
The call ended.Brianna stood in the middle of the cabin, her phone still pressed to her ear, the silence of the room pressing in around her. Her mother's voice still echoed in her mind. I love you too. Three words that should have felt like a balm. Instead, they felt like a wound that was finally beginning to heal.She set the phone down on the table. Her hands were shaking.Dawson came up behind her. His hands rested on her shoulders, warm and steady."Are you okay?"She shook her head. Then she nodded. Then she shook her head again."I don't know."He turned her to face him. His eyes searched hers."Talk to me."She looked at his face. At the man who had stood beside her through all of this. At the man who had held her when she fell apart and pushed her when she needed to fight."She was framed," Brianna said. Her voice was low, rough. "All this time, I thought she was weak. I thought she sold me because she was selfish. I thought she chose money over me." She pressed her hand to h
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 93: The Paper Trail
The apartment was quiet after Eloise's tears stopped.Brianna sat on the couch, her mother's hand in hers, the box of records on the table between them. Dawson stood by the window, his back to them, giving them space. The only sounds were the ticking of the clock on the wall and the soft hum of the city outside.Eloise's face was pale, her eyes red and swollen. She had not stopped shaking since Brianna walked in. Her hands were cold in Brianna's grip. Her whole body seemed smaller, frailer, like she had been carrying something heavy for a very long time and was finally letting it go."I didn't know," Eloise whispered. Her voice was thin, cracked. "About the debt. About the inflation. I thought I owed everything."Brianna squeezed her mother's hand. She could feel the bones beneath the skin, fragile and thin."Tell me what happened."Eloise took a shaky breath. She stared at the wall, her eyes unfocused, like she was seeing something far away."Before I met Declan, I had some debts. Sm
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 92: Buried Truth
The archive room was cold.Brianna stood in the doorway, her breath fogging in the dim light. Shelves stretched into darkness, filled with boxes and binders, years of records that Declan thought no one would ever find.She had been here before. The night she first discovered the Governor's photo. The night everything changed.But this time, she was looking for something different.Dawson had given her the key. Francesca had given her the location. The sealed records Declan had buried when Eloise first entered the picture. The evidence that proved everything.She walked to the back of the room. Found the box she was looking for. Old. Dusty. Taped shut with yellowing tape.She pulled it down. Set it on the table.Her hands were shaking as she opened it.The records were older than she expected.Years of documents. Contracts. Letters. Photographs. Everything Declan had tried to hide.She started with the contracts. The first one was dated three years before the wedding. Before Eloise had
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 91: The Date That Changed Everything
The cabin was cold when they returned from the café.Brianna sat at the kitchen table, the new evidence spread before her, her mind still racing from Matteo's confession. The accounts. The transfers. The names. Everything they needed to destroy Eric was finally in their hands.But something was still nagging at her. A thread she had not pulled.She pulled the older files closer. The ones from the beginning. The ones from before she had arrived at the estate.She started cross-referencing dates.The first payment. The first transfer. The first time money had started moving in ways it should not have.She traced it back. Back. Back.Her hand stopped.The date was three years ago. The same week her mother had signed the marriage contract.She stared at the page. Her heart was pounding.She pulled another file. The payment records. The dates. The names.She matched them. Every single one.The theft had begun the same week Eloise entered the picture.She sat back in her chair. Her hands we
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 90: The Heat of the Trail
The cabin was quiet when they returned from Florence.Brianna sat at the kitchen table, the folder spread before her, her eyes scanning the pages for the hundredth time. The evidence was solid. The payments. The names. The connections. Everything they needed to destroy Eric.But something was missing.She could feel it. A gap in the web. A thread that had not been pulled.Dawson came up behind her. His hands rested on her shoulders."You've been staring at those papers for hours.""There's something I'm not seeing."He leaned down. His chin rested on her head."Like what?"She pointed at a series of payments. "These. They're all to the same account. But the account is empty. Whoever is receiving the money is moving it somewhere else."Dawson straightened. He walked around the table and sat across from her."How do you know?"She pulled out a separate page. "I traced the transfers. The money goes in, stays for a few days, then moves to another account. Then another. Then another.""Lay
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 89: The Hunter's Eyes
The cabin was quiet when they returned from Milan.Brianna sat on the couch, the folder still in her hands, her mind still spinning from everything she had learned. Renzo's confession. The payments. The evidence that Eric had been behind Dawson's mother's death.She looked at Dawson. He was standing by the window, his back to her, his shoulders tight."We have everything we need," she said.He turned. His face was hard, but his eyes were tired."Almost everything.""What's missing?"He walked toward her. Sat beside her on the couch."Renzo is scared. He's been scared for twenty years. He's not going to testify unless he's sure we can protect him.""Then we protect him."He looked at her."We need to make him believe we can. And to do that, we need to show him that Eric is vulnerable."She set the folder down."Then we show him."He reached for her hand. His fingers laced through hers."We're going to need help.""I know.""Francesca has contacts. People who owe her favors. People who
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 2
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
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 51: The Names on the List
Morning came through the curtains in pale gray strips.Brianna had not slept. She lay on the couch where Dawson had placed her hours ago, a blanket tucked around her legs, a pillow beneath her head. He was sitting on the floor beside her, his back against the couch, his eyes open, his hands still.
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 31: Armor of Silk
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
My Stepbrother My Ruin Chapter 1
The gates of the Van Doren swung open.Brianna watched the limestone pillars blur past, her stomach churning with every inch the limousine moved forward.Beside her, Eloise was checking her reflection for the tenth time. Her mother looked radiant in a silk dress that cost more than their last three
