"What do you want me to do? You don't want to talk to me, and you're avoiding me. This is the only way I know to talk to you," I pleaded, my voice raw with desperation.

I moved closer, my hand reaching out, yearning to bridge the chasm that had opened between us. But she recoiled, shrinking away, retreating to the furthest edge of the bed as if my touch was poison.

A sharp pain, colder than any ice, pierced my heart. To see her avoid me, to see her flinch from my touch... It was

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 157: Scrutiny

    All I could really register was him. The way he spoke, the way he carried himself, it was impossible not to notice.There was a quiet power in his voice, a steady authority that demanded attention without asking for it. Everyone seemed to hang on his words, either cautious of him or eager to prove themselves in his presence.And I couldn't stop wondering. Was this really the same Theo I once knew? The one who used to laugh so easily, who carried a kind of warmth that felt effortless?When did he become like this? So serious, so composed and so intimidating. Was this who he truly was when it came to work?"Wasn't that issue supposed to be resolved already? Why hasn't it been fixed until now?" he suddenly asked, his voice sharp with irritation as the room fell silent."Sorry, Sir," the project manager replied quickly, his tone strained. "We've had a heavy workload, but I assure you I'll take care of it right away. I'm considering adding overtim

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 156: Return

    It's only my second week as CHRO at the company, and so far, I can say that things are going fairly well.The beginning wasn't easy. I was still adjusting to the demands of the role, finding my rhythm, and learning the nuances of the organization. There were moments when I made mistakes, but according to Mr. Lopez, my performance has been good and I'm meeting expectations. Hearing that gave me a quiet sense of reassurance.I hadn't anticipated just how demanding the CHRO role would be. It requires a great deal of effort, and the workload can be heavy. The scope of responsibility is broad and often stretches across multiple areas at once.Still, I'm managing, taking things one step at a time. It helps that I'm surrounded by strong support teams and capable team leaders, and the company itself operates with clear organizational alignment, which makes everything more structured and manageable.I do my best to carry out my responsibilities properly, and

    He introduced me to everyone. The employees, the HR Directors, the Heads of different functional areas, the HR Business Partners for Sales, Operations, and Tech, and the members of the Executive Leadership Team. One by one, I met them all.To my surprise, they welcomed me warmly. Some were playful and sharp, quick with their words. Others were gentle and easy to talk to. But all of them were professional, respectful, and kind. It did not take long to see that the company had a healthy and positive working environment.Then, I saw Tiffany. She was still here, working as a Project Manager, her posture just as poised and self-assured as I remembered.Time had not diminished that quiet confidence about her. If anything, it seemed more refined, more grounded, as though she had settled fully into who she was.When I was introduced as the new CHRO, I caught the exact moment recognition surfaced in her eyes. It was subtle, almost imperceptible, a brief flic

    But my room, damn it, my room is a shrine to all the ways we'd torn each other apart and put each other back together. My bed is where he'd spread me wide and bury himself so deep I thought I'd break. We'd fuck slow and rough and everything in between until the sheets were stained with sweat and come. The bathtub is where he'd kneel between my legs, his mouth on me until I was screaming his name. Water sloshed over the sides as he'd slide inside me in the warm, wet dark.The shower is where steam fogged out everything but us. He'd press me against the tile and fuck me hard from behind while his hand wrapped around my throat just enough to make me see stars. Hot water pounded down on our slick, tangled bodies. These walls don't just remember. They echo with the sounds of us, with every curse and cry and filthy thing we'd whispered to each other.Nights burned white-hot and endless, where intimacy meant more than just closeness. It meant him splitting me open, fill

    It was Sunday when Mom and Uncle Greg drove me to my condo in the Capital City. I hadn't had time to look for a new place within the week, so I didn't object when they brought me back to my old unit. I didn't even try to suggest anywhere else. I was afraid they might start asking questions and wonder why I was avoiding this place.I do plan to move, eventually. But for now, I'll keep that to myself.I knew coming back here would stir memories I wasn't ready to face. This place held too much of him. Theo had once lived in the penthouse of this very building, and the thought of running into him again was something I desperately wanted to avoid. That alone was enough reason for me to leave as soon as I could.Thankfully, Mom had already arranged everything. She had called the caretaker and cleaner to clean my place so when we arrived, the condo was spotless. We only needed to fix a few things, and by one in the afternoon, everything was in place.We had lunc

    I could not help but smile at the thought. The boy who once had a shy crush on me is now deeply in love with someone else, ready to build a life with her. Time really does change everything.He even asked Sandra and me to be his bridesmaids. Of course, we said yes. There was no way we would miss something so important.The rest of my days passed in a blur of laughter, outings, and quiet moments of healing. For a while, it felt like I had finally found a rhythm again. Like I was slowly piecing myself back together. I also planned to visit Irene and Lily once I went to the Capital.But after a month of rest and distraction, something inside me began to stir again. A restlessness I could not ignore. It felt wrong to remain idle any longer, as if I was only delaying the inevitable. So I went to see Uncle Greg to talk about the position he had once offered me in the company."Oh, I thought you would want to enjoy your vacation first. You had worked so hard and
