A quiet unease settled in my chest. I could only hope he hadn't mentioned anything about that earlier while talking to Mom and Uncle Greg. As far as they knew, I had never been in a relationship. It wasn't exactly a lie I had built on purpose, but the truth was far too complicated to explain.

My ex-boyfriend was my stepbrother. Even now, the thought alone made my chest tighten. We had kept everything a secret back then to protect our parents, to avoid tearing the family apart. It had been the on

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 209: Remorse

    I decided to accept Sean's invitation this Saturday night. Not because I wanted to continue what we had, but because I knew it was time to end it. This time, I was finally going to ask him to stop pursuing me.We agreed to meet at a French restaurant. When I arrived, I immediately saw him seated at one of the tables, already waiting. I wasn't surprised. Sean had always been the type to arrive early, especially when it came to me.The moment his eyes found mine, his entire face lit up. It was so genuine, so full of warmth, that for a second, my steps faltered.He stood up quickly as I approached, pulling out a chair for me with that same familiar attentiveness I had come to expect from him."Have you been waiting long?" I asked, trying to keep my voice light."Not really. I just got here," he said with a bright smile. I knew he was lying but I didn't call him out on it.We both took our seats, and he immediately signaled for a waiter. We orde

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 208: Honesty

    I was sitting quietly in the passenger seat of his car as we drove back home. The city lights blurred past the window, soft and distant, while the warmth of the evening still lingered around us. We had just come from my favorite Japanese restaurant, and he insisted on ordering takeout so we could continue eating together back at the penthouse.The car was filled with a comfortable silence. His hand was wrapped around mine, his fingers laced with mine as if it was the most natural thing in the world.With his other hand, he steered the wheel with ease, occasionally tightening his grip on me in a quiet, absent gesture that made my chest feel full.I leaned back slightly, letting myself sink into the moment. Then suddenly, my phone rang. The sound cut through the silence, pulling me back to reality. I reached for it, my eyes dropping to the screen. It was Sean.My chest tightened almost instantly. Without thinking twice, I declined the call. It w

    "We just fixed things," I whispered, more to myself than to him.Taking a breath, I reached up and held his face, trying to soften him, hoping he would understand."Can we not do it yet? Can we wait a little longer? Just give me time to think, to be ready." I asked gently.He looked at me, clearly seeing through what I was doing. With a small sigh, he gently removed my hands from his face, though there was no harshness in the gesture. Just a quiet stubbornness.Still, I didn't pull away. I leaned closer instead, resting my head against his chest again, letting my hand drift lightly across him in a familiar, comforting way."Please, baby..." I murmured softly.I felt his body tense slightly beneath my touch, a reaction I recognized all too well. Some things hadn't changed. Not at all."Alright, I'll give you time for now. But I mean it. I want us to tell them soon." he finally said after a moment. Relief washed over me."T

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 206: Acceptance

    "I'm glad and I'm relieved that you didn't love anyone else during the two years we were apart because it was the same for me. I couldn't love another woman." For a brief second, my heart lifted at his words."But I won't lie to you, I'm not a saint. I had other women. Nothing serious, just temporary, no strings attached. I'm telling you now because I don't want this to become a problem between us later." he admitted, his gaze steady on mine.His honesty hit me harder than I expected.It felt like something sharp had pierced straight through my chest. I knew he wasn't trying to hurt me. I knew he was choosing honesty over hiding things from me.But knowing that didn't make it easier. The thought of him being with other women, even if it meant nothing to him, twisted painfully inside me. It was something I couldn't help but imagine, no matter how much I didn't want to.I must have shown it on my face, because his expression changed instantly.

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 205: Confession

    "I never forgot you. You were the one I loved then and you are still the one I love now," he said, his voice steady but heavy with emotion, as if every word came straight from somewhere deep inside him. Then his gaze sharpened, searching mine with an intensity that made my breath catch."Is it still me that you love?" he asked quietly.I rolled my eyes, a mix of disbelief and frustration rising in me. After everything that had happened, after the hot and intense making love we did last night, he was still questioning me?"Do you really think I would have given myself to you again and let you fucked me like that if I didn't still love you?" I snapped, unable to hold back. The words came out sharper than I intended, but I didn't take them back. He deserved to hear them.I expected his face to light up, for relief or happiness to finally break through but it didn't. Instead, he just stared at me, his eyes locked onto mine, as if trying to read every hidden t

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 204: Clarity

    Even the smallest gestures carried meaning. We shared the same utensils without thinking, and there were moments when he would lift a bite to my lips, watching me closely as I ate, only to lean in and steal a soft kiss right after, as if he simply couldn't help himself.I found myself smiling more than I realized. This was something we used to do before. The playful teasing, the quiet intimacy, the way we could turn something as simple as breakfast into something warm and unforgettable. We looked ridiculous, eating in bed like this, acting foolish and carefree, but I didn't care. I cherished every second of it. I had missed this more than I wanted to admit.And now that I was here again, feeling it, living it, it made my chest tighten in a way that almost hurt. A part of me wanted to cry, overwhelmed by how happy I felt in that moment.But beneath all the warmth, there was something else lingering. Not the comfortable kind we shared just moments ago, but somethi

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 79: Love

    If love is not real, then what am I feeling for him? Why do I ache with missing him when he is away?Why does my heart race so fast I can barely breathe when he is near, or even when I just think about him?I know this is not obsession. It is deeper than attraction, stro

    "I did that? Shit, I thought that was just a dream," he laughed. I could see recognition finally starting to dawn on his face."But I never mistook you for anyone else," he said. His eyes were growing serious. "Even when I thought it was just a dream, you were the one I saw. The girl I imagined lyi

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 76: Fire

    We didn't even look back at the basket of fruits we'd spent so long gathering. We didn't think about the mat we'd carefully laid out under the acacia tree. In that moment, none of it mattered. Not the sweet berries, not the peaceful picnic spot. All that mattered was getting back to the quiet safet
