Inés sat on a rigid plastic chair, her hands clasped so tightly her knuckles were white. She hadn't even changed her clothes; the dark, drying smear of Miguel’s blood on her shoulder was a gruesome reminder of the price he had paid for her life.

Every time the double doors of the surgical wing swung open, she flinched. She wasn't just waiting for news, she was waiting to see if the one good thing left in her world had survived the madness of Carlos.

Finally, a doctor in pale green scrubs steppe

  • My Stepbrother's Secret Obsession    The Plain Boring Girl

    Throwback: Three Years Ago"I need a break," Miguel had groaned, rubbing his eyes. "Go grab us some water or a coffee, Carlos. I need to finish this projection before the board call for another meeting."Carlos walked down the grand hallway, his leather soles clicking rhythmically. He had been upstairs in Miguel’s private study for two hours, buried under a mountain of real estate proposals and acquisition contracts. Miguel was obsessive when he worked, a trait Carlos found both useful and pathetic.He pushed open the heavy swinging doors to the kitchen. Standing by the central island, her back to him, was a girl wrapped in a sweater three sizes too large. Her hair was pulled back into a messy, unremarkable bun.Inés.Carlos leaned against the doorframe, crossing his arms. He watched her for a moment as she poured water into a glass. She looked small. She was wearing baggy grey sweatpants and a thick knit cardigan that hid every curve of her body.He felt a jolt of pure, dark amusemen

  • My Stepbrother's Secret Obsession    Puppet Master

    Carlos Mendoza sat in the oversized leather chair, his fingers steepled under his chin. His eyes were fixed on the center screen, which showed the interior of the primary VIP room. The footage was silent, but the body language told the entire story. On the screen, Miguel Alvarez was sitting on the edge of a plush velvet sofa, his face a mask of stunned, breathless adoration. Opposite him stood Red, her fiery wig shimmering under the dim amber lights of the private suite. Uncle Clifford stood behind the desk, his lace fan frozen mid-air. He leaned in closer to the monitor, his eyes darting between the screen and Carlos’s calm profile."I’ve seen a lot of things in this business, honey," Clifford whispered, his voice trembling with a mix of awe and genuine anxiety. "I’ve seen senators cry over a lap dance and CEOs beg for a phone number. But this is something else entirely."Carlos didn't blink. He watched as Miguel reached out to touch Red’s hand, only for her to subtly flinch and pul

  • My Stepbrother's Secret Obsession    Let The Show Begin

    Throwback: Three Years Ago Miguel was pacing the floor, his movements erratic and tense. He stopped at the floor-to-ceiling window, staring down at the lights of the city, but he wasn't seeing them. His mind was miles away, trapped in the domestic nightmare that had become his daily life."I can't take it anymore, Carlos," Miguel groaned, finally turning around. He rubbed his temples with both hands, his face drawn and exhausted. "It’s not even enough that I get stressed at work. Dealing with the merger, the board of directors. But then I have to go home and deal with the rest of it."Carlos sat behind his massive desk, his hands folded neatly. He looked perfectly composed, a sharp contrast to Miguel’s disheveled state. "The rest of it? You mean the new family?""Yes," Miguel snapped, resuming his pacing. "The compulsory dinners every night, like clockwork. My father insists on it. He thinks sitting around a table will make us united. So I have to sit there and look at the faces of m

  • My Stepbrother's Secret Obsession    The Red File

    Throwback: Four Years AgoThe air in the back office of P-Valley was thick with the scent of expensive cigars and the heavy, sweet musk of cheap perfume that clung to the walls. It was a space hidden away from the neon lights and the thumping bass of the main stage, a place where the real business happened.Uncle Clifford sat on the edge of the mahogany desk, fanning himself with a lace hand fan. Carlos Mendoza sat reclined in the oversized leather chair with his legs crossed and a look of bored detachment on his face."Business is booming, Carlos." Uncle Clifford purred, his jewelry clinking as he gestured to a stack of ID cards and application forms spread out on the desk. "But we need fresh blood. The regulars are getting restless. They want new faces, new curves, new fantasies to spend money on."Carlos didn't answer immediately. He picked up the stack of cards, flipping through them with his thumb. He glanced at the faces... young women from the outskirts of the city, girls looki

    The phone call came at 2:00 AM, a jagged ring that sliced through the heavy silence of the Alvarez mansion. Miguel grabbed the receiver, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep. He listened for less than a minute, his jaw tightening until his facial muscles began to twitch."He did what? We are coming now." Miguel’s voice was a low growl. He hung up and turned to Inés, who was already sitting up, her face pale in the moonlight. "He turned himself in. Carlos is at the central precinct."Inés felt a wave of cold relief, followed immediately by a sharp, stabbing suspicion. "He just walked in? After everything? Miguel, that doesn't make sense. It could a trap.""We don’t have a choice," Miguel said, pulling on his jacket. "We’re going to find out what he’s playing at."When they burst through the double doors of the station, they expected to see Carlos in handcuffs, being dragged to a cell. Instead, they found a scene that looked like a sick joke.Carlos was sitting in a chair in the middle

  • My Stepbrother's Secret Obsession    Queen of The West Side Wing

    The prison cafeteria smelled of sour bleach and overcooked cabbage. Carmen sat at the center table of the west. She didn't look like a woman facing a murder charge, she looked like a queen holding court. Around her sat four women with hardened eyes and scarred knuckle.Maria stepped into the lunch line, her orange jumpsuit still crisp and unwrinkled. She looked out of place, her nose wrinkled in disgust at the mystery meat being slopped onto her tray. She spotted Carmen and a mean, desperate smirk touched her lips.Maria walked toward the center table, her tray held high. Her own group of three younger inmates followed her, looking for a fight to break boredom."Look at this," Maria called out, her voice cutting through the lunchroom noise. "The grand lady of the mansion has finally found her true level. Eating off plastic with the rest of the trash."Carmen didn't look up from her tray. She slowly chewed a piece of bread, her expression calm."Keep walking, Maria," one of the women b

    Inés had just gotten home from campus when her mother stopped her in the foyer, her expression tight with disapproval."There's a woman here to see you," Carmen said, her voice low. "I told her you weren't available, but she insisted on waiting."Inés frowned. "Who?""Maria from the company." Carme

    José was still buttoning his shirt when Carmen's hand trailed down his bare back, her nails scratching lightly against his skin."Stay a little longer," she murmured, her voice husky from their exercise.José glanced at her over his shoulder, his jaw tight. She was sprawled across the bed, the shee
