The Last Thing I Have

مؤلف: Norah Black
last update تاريخ النشر: 2026-06-02 15:49:15

CASSIAN'S POV

Forty-three minutes ago, I walked away from my father, my marriage, and my inheritance.

Now I’m sitting in the police station parking lot wondering if I was about to lose Nina too.

It's all gone now—the ring, the company, my father… Yet somehow, sitting alone in the rain, she is still everywhere, punishing my lungs with her vanilla scent.

I fear that if I breathe too hard, I might exhaust her presence, might lose everything I should spend years savoring.

So I hold my breath. I

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    He Chose...Me?

    NINA'S POV The first thing I notice when I open my eyes is that the bed is round.The second is that it definitely isn't mine. I've never slept in anything this expensive. Not until Cassian, and…oh.A headache seizes my temples at the mere thought of Axel's name, and just like that, the memories slam right through the doors in my head.With the memories comes nausea—it shoots up my throat, and I clamp a hand over my mouth, searching for a door to the bathroom, or an exit. Something.A pearly white door sits in the corner, and I don't think. Not with the sour heat clawing its way up my throat. I push the door open, gaze falling on the porcelain toilet. Fuck yes. My knees crumble to the ground as I fist my hair with my right hand and retch into the seat, eyes shut tight as I wish the thoughts into the wind. But they stay like fucking ticks, sucking my sanity even as I push off the toilet seat and flush. I tell myself that I won't stop by the mirror and stare at the monstrosity that

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    The Cross Examination

    CASSIAN'S POV I always imagined that surrender would feel noble.Turns out it mostly feels like standing in the rain while your stepsister's homicidal brother points a gun at your chest.If Nina could see me now, she'd probably call me an idiot. The worst part is that she'd be right.But did I step forward anyway? You already know the answer. I still feel his gun aimed at my chest as I walk up to the porch. It creaks under my weight, but he doesn't flinch, just stays shrouded in the darkness, gun muzzle gleaming in the faint golden light. “Move.” I release a breath and step into the golden light, eyes roaming over the very, very small apartment. The heater must be cranked high enough. That's the only explanation for the heat climbing up my back as I hear the door shut behind me, locking in the silence that stretched like a band.The apartment is rather empty, save for the small television propped in front of a peeling blue couch that I won't sit on even if he presses the gun int

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    The Last Thing I Have

    CASSIAN'S POV Forty-three minutes ago, I walked away from my father, my marriage, and my inheritance. Now I’m sitting in the police station parking lot wondering if I was about to lose Nina too.It's all gone now—the ring, the company, my father… Yet somehow, sitting alone in the rain, she is still everywhere, punishing my lungs with her vanilla scent.I fear that if I breathe too hard, I might exhaust her presence, might lose everything I should spend years savoring. So I hold my breath. I do it until my lungs ache just like the rest of me, until time melts into her essence, and I find myself reaching for my phone, itching like crazy for the sound of her voice.Has she already gone too far? Was it so easy to leave me here? To not turn back until this is all that's left of her? I should have thought this through. I should have asked for a location…just this once…But this pain is for the best. It has to be. Still, I unlock my phone fourteen times before I realise that I'm staring

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    The Axel Effect

    NINA'S POV The first thing I realize after the gates of the Cross mansion disappear behind me is that Cassian’s heartbeat still exists beneath my fingertips—trapped inside his two black credit cards and the ghost of a goodbye I already knew would haunt me for the rest of my life.Surely this wasn't the end…nobody stops a tragically beautiful song halfway and says “end scene”.No. You sit in it. You feel it. You let it break you. Problem is, I'm already broken. So much that the tears don't even fall anymore. They just blur my vision and pool back no matter how hard I blink. The streets blur past in a halo of gold and bright red, but everything inside me just feels so cold, like I'm frozen in place and this is all just a bad dream.I shut my eyes hard and wish this nightmare into the wind, but I open them, and I'm still sitting in this fucking car, choking on leather and the last traces of his scent that my lungs refuse to let go of.Why? Why did it have to be so complicated? Why is

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    The Death of a Cross

    CASSIAN'S POV “ALEX!”My voice tears through the foyer, bouncing along the walls and hitting me in waves.I stomp towards the staircase just as a figure appears at the top.“Cassian?” her brows pull together. Maybe she knows too. Of course she'll know. I take the stairs two at a time, pulse pounding like a death march in my skull.“What are you doing?” Her arms cross over her chest, voice unnervingly calm despite the chaos dripping off me in rivers of blood and sweat.I don't answer.I storm past her, tunnel vision leading me down the hallway to the door holding my name carved in gold. “Cassian—”“He's in there, isn't he?” My voice comes out sharp, and I turn to Sloane who's now rubbing her arms frantically.“I don't…I…”“Sloane.”“Yes…he's there. But don't make a scene!”The hallway blurs around me as my hand clamps around the knob hard, and I shove the door open hard enough for it to slam against the wall.And there he is.Alex Cross…sitting behind his desk with one ankle restin

  • My Stepbrother's Lust    Blast Radius

    CASSIAN'S POV I had spent my entire life preparing for the day Alex Cross turned on me. I just never thought that Nina would be standing in the blast radius. “He knows…I don't know how, but he knows EVERYTHING…” her voice breaks, and I feel something squeeze inside me when her eyes meet mine. “You have to do this, Cassian…your father, he—he’s—” A monster. Her breath hitches, fingers flying to her lips. I should say something, anything, but the wheels in my mind won't stop colliding, grating against my skull and sparking a sharp ache in my temples. “Cassian!” Cold fingers burn through my sleeve as she grips my arms, hazel eyes wide as they dart to the door and back to me, grip tightening. “Say something, for fucks sake!” She glances towards the door again, but I keep my jaw tight. Think, Cross. “Does he know about Vegas?” I finally ask, voice hoarse. She blinks. “What are you—” “Answer the question, Nina.” “No…but he knows about everything else after th
