로그인It was supposed to be one reckless night to be forgotten by morning. For Yubi, it was an escape from a broken home, a mother who never loved her, and a past haunted by guilt and loss. She gave her innocence to a stranger in a club, walked away before dawn, and told herself it meant nothing. Four weeks later, her world collapses. A positive pregnancy test. A new marriage. And the man she can’t forget introduced to her as her Stepbrother. Trey De Luca is everything Yubi should stay away from, arrogant, dangerous, and heir to a powerful empire built on money and secrets. He doesn’t believe in love, doesn’t want children, and doesn’t remember the girl he once held like she was everything. Until the truth explodes between them. Pregnant with her stepbrother’s child, Yubi is forced into impossible choices, between survival and desire, shame and longing, silence and scandal. When a violent accident leaves Trey fighting for his future, lines blur even further, and secrets buried inside the De Luca family begin to surface. Power, betrayal, obsession, and love collide in a world where nothing is clean not family, not loyalty, not desire.
더 보기YubiOne year laterI’m rocking Chanel gently in my arms, humming the same soft lullaby I have been singing since the day she was born, when my phone lights up on the bedside table. The vibration is low, barely a buzz, but something inside me tightens. A familiar tension rolls down my spine.Nobody calls me at this hour, it's almost midnight. I take a look at the caller ID, and the name is one I have dreaded for months. TreyThe name flashes on my screen, I have not spoken to him for a year now, since I left home. For a second, everything in my tiny apartment feels too small, the walls, the air in my chest.He is the last person I expected to ever call me, especially this late. Chanel lets out a tiny coo, her little fingers tightening around the chain of my necklace, grounding me just enough to move.“Hello?” My voice cracks. So much for sounding normal.There is a shaky exhale from the other end before he finally speaks“Yubi?”His voice hits me harder than I imagined it would. Dee
YubiI hardly sleep that night. Every time I close my eyes, I hear Trey’s voice echoing in my head.Kiari said yes. Whatever happened between us can never happen again.The words replay, over and over, until they carve themselves into my bones. I lie awake staring at the ceiling, the faint glow from the pool lights seeping through my curtains, reminding me of where everything fell apart.I press a hand to my stomach.It’s still flat. Still unchanged but after a few months I will not be able to hide it anymore. I need a plan, fast. By dawn, I have made a decision, a quiet, trembling, terrifying decision that settles into me like a final breath.I need to leave. It's the only way this works. Not because I want to run away.Not because I’m weak. But because staying here, staying in this house, staying near him will destroy me and our entire family of the truth ever came out.I need space and distance, besides like Trey had said, it was a mistake and one stupid mistake should not destro
YubiThree weeks.It has been three full weeks since that night I stood at the top of the stairs and watched Trey pull Kiari into the house like she belonged here. Three weeks since he said even a word to me. We have become strangers who live in the same house.At breakfast, I sit at the opposite end of the table, and he sits across from me and we all eat like a family, not one word spoken between us. Our parents think we are being petty.They don’t know there’s a wildfire spread between us, one we are both pretending isn’t burning everything in its path.For a while, avoidance works.For a while, I can pretend I’m moving on.But the past few days something has definitely been wrong, at first I thought I was coming down with a bug, but then the symptoms get worse, the nausea, the food cravings.At first, it was just mornings but it was getting worse. By week three, I can’t keep anything down not water, not tea, not even dry bread. My stomach turns at smells I used to love. Chicken.
YubiI barely slept that night, every time I closed my eyes, I felt him again his breath against my neck, the warmth of his hands, the way he whispered my name like it meant something. Like I was special.I don't remember finally falling asleep or him leaving either. I wake up alone in his bed, wrapped in a sheet that still smells like him. For a second, I lie there trying to pretend I’m dreaming, that last night didn’t happen, that I didn’t let myself fall into the arms of the one man I should never have allowed to touch me.But the ache between my legs is real.The marks he left on my skin are real.The emptiness beside me is real. It happened and I loved every second of it. I sit up slowly, pressing a hand to my chest as if I can steady my heartbeat.I can’t. It’s racing.I don’t know what I expect when I step out of his room, maybe that he’ll be waiting for me, maybe that he’ll look at me the same way he did last night, like I was something he didn’t want to lose.But the hallwa
