My Stepbrother’s Dirty Secret Pushed the wrong man 2
The door swung open slowly.For one brief second, nobody moved.The humid night air drifted into the building, carrying the distant sound of waves crashing against the shore. The silence that followed felt heavier than any shouted threat.Martil stood in the doorway.Kaleb was beside him.Neither looked happy.Neither looked tired.Neither looked uncertain.And that was the problem.I had seen angry men before.I had seen violent men before.But the most dangerous people were never the ones screaming.They were the ones who had already made up their minds.Martil stepped inside first.The overhead light cast shadows across his face, sharpening every hard angle.His expression was unreadable.Kaleb closed the door behind them.The click echoed throughout the room.Suddenly, the building felt much smaller.“You found me,” I said lightly.Martil didn’t answer.That silence bothered me more than I wanted to admit.I folded my arms and leaned against the wall.“What’s wrong?” I asked. “No
My Stepbrother’s Dirty Secret Pushed the wrong man 1
People always called Martil dangerous.They whispered his name like it carried a curse. They talked about him in lowered voices, as if saying it too loudly would somehow summon him into the room.It amused me.Because people like Martil were easy to understand.Predictable.Violent men always were.Everyone thought violence made someone complicated.It didn’t.Violence simplified people.Push the right button, and they reacted.Threaten something they loved, and they moved exactly where you wanted them to move.The truly dangerous people weren’t the ones carrying guns.They were the ones standing behind the curtain, deciding where the guns should point.I sat in the dark maintenance building and smiled to myself.Outside, the ocean wind rattled softly against the walls. Somewhere in the distance, tourists were laughing, drinking, enjoying vacations they couldn’t afford.Meanwhile, Martil was probably losing his mind.Good.That was exactly where I wanted him.The woman had done her jo
My Stepbrother’s Dirty Secret Always the target
Martil’s povI made her wait. I forced her to remain in the room, promising that I’d come back for her soon. I didn’t want her to deal with Girad.The moment I stepped out of the villa, I knew I was done playing games. For weeks, I had been trying to give Corleone peace.Just peace. Something neither of us had ever truly had.Three weeks of laughter. Three weeks of waking up beside her. Three weeks of watching her smile more than she’d cried.Three weeks and now Girad had managed to destroy all of it in a single night.The thought alone was enough to make my hands curl into fists.Kaleb was already waiting outside when I reached the driveway. Percy stood beside him with her phone in hand, her expression tense. The moment she saw me, she immediately straightened.“I have his location.”My eyes locked onto hers. “Talk.”Percy swallowed. “He’s inside the property.”Kaleb cursed under his breath. I didn’t. I was too calm for that. I was too angry. The dangerous thing about rage wasn’t sho
My Stepbrother’s Dirty Secret Tired of people’s decisions
Corleone’s povI hated that I was crying over this.Of all the things life had thrown at me, of all the battles Martil and I had survived together, it felt ridiculous that one woman could walk into a dinner and completely destroy my peace. Yet there I was, standing in the middle of our bedroom with tears burning my eyes and my suitcase open on the bed. The villa suddenly felt too large around me. It felt too quiet and too empty. Every corner seemed to echo with things I didn’t want to think about. The dress I had worn to dinner laid discarded on a chair while I angrily shoved clothes into my luggage without bothering to fold them properly.“Stupid,” I muttered under my breath.I wasn’t even sure who I was talking about anymore. Was it the woman downstairs? Martil? Or myself? Maybe all three of us deserved it.My chest hurt in a way I hated admitting. It wasn’t because I was angry. It was not because I was confused. But because I was hurt. Because somewhere along the line, I’d falle
My Stepbrother’s Dirty Secret Girad’s game
Martil’s PovIt started at dinner.A quiet evening. Controlled. Carefully arranged like everything else in my life when I wanted it to stay calm for more than five minutes.Corleone was sitting across from me, relaxed for once, her fingers loosely wrapped around a glass of water. Percy was talking about something ridiculous, Kaleb was pretending not to listen, and I had just started to think—foolishly—that maybe we could have one normal night.Then the doors opened.And everything changed.The woman walked in like she had every right to be there.That alone should have warned me.Her eyes scanned the room quickly before locking onto me.“Martil,” she said.Silence hit instantly.Corleone’s hand paused mid-air.Kaleb straightened slightly.Percy stopped talking.I didn’t move.Because I already knew trouble when I saw it.“What are you doing here?” I asked calmly.The woman smiled.Not kindly.Not hesitantly.Like she had rehearsed this moment.“I think you already know why.”Corleone
My Stepbrother’s Dirty Secret Hidden secret
Percy’s PovThe idea of a group trip sounded simple when Kaleb first said it.Too simple.Like none of us had complicated histories, unresolved emotions, or people we actively avoided in crowded rooms.But somehow, we still agreed.Martil handled the arrangements like everything in his life—quietly, efficiently, without asking for opinions he had no intention of following. Corleone just went along with him like she always did, trusting him in a way that still made me slightly jealous if I thought about it too long.And me?I was going because Kaleb was going.That alone was already a problem I refused to unpack too deeply.The moment we arrived at the coastal country, everything felt different.Warmer.Softer.Like the air itself didn’t know how to hold onto pain for too long.The villa was absurdly large, perched close enough to the ocean that the waves sounded like they were trying to break into the house. White walls. Open terraces. Glass everywhere.Kaleb immediately started unpac
