OWNED BY MY EX-HUSBAND’S STEPBROTHER Chapter 114
Gloria knew there was no point in feeling sorry for herself. Lukas had only hired her to work as a maid. She should not let emotions get in the way. Instead, she needed to work hard, save money, and leave for another state with Annabel as soon as possible.Her heart felt very heavy right now. But Gloria pushed her feelings aside and finished her duties as a maid before heading downstairs. First, she checked on Annabel. After making sure her little girl was sleeping peacefully, Gloria went back to her own small bedroom. She sat in front of the vanity mirror for a long time, staring at her reflection.Gloria was already very thin. Her cheekbones and collarbones stuck out sharply. This was a big change from her body just one year ago. But she had achieved this thin figure through a tough and unhealthy diet. It had given her a serious eating disorder over time.Even so, Victor kept calling her a fat bitch. He said it no matter how fast she lost weight in an unhealthy way. Because of his w

You can go downstairs and take a bath by yourself, right?" Gloria asked with a gentle smile."Yes, Mommy! Annabel is... smart and independent!" Annabel declared proudly. Gloria chuckled softly in response. She knew her little girl had just learned the word "independent" at school about three days ago. Annabel loved using it because she thought it sounded really cool. She wanted to prove to her mommy that she was a big, cool, and independent girl who could do things on her own.Gloria was busy washing Annabel's large plate in the kitchen sink. Annabel had eaten a whole banana cream pie all by herself, and now the plate was empty and dirty. As Gloria scrubbed it carefully, she suddenly heard a click from Lukas's bedroom door. She turned around instinctively to see what was happening.Lukas stepped out of his bedroom. He carried a large empty plate that had held banana cream pie and an empty glass in his hands. He walked straight to the kitchen. When he got there, he saw his sister-in-la

This is what you get for daring to lower your guard. You pathetic bastard! The self-directed curse echoed viciously in Lukas's mind, a sharp whip cracking against his fragile peace. The banana cream pie, once a vessel of nostalgic bliss, now sat half-eaten on the carpet before him, its allure dimmed by the bitter aftertaste of rejection. He wasn't in the mood to bask in this forced family charade anymore though the primal urge to devour the rest of the pie alone gnawed at him insistently. He craved solitude, the sanctuary where he could rage unchecked or simply stew in silence.Part of him itched to summon the anger, to let it blaze and consume the hurt. But no allowing Gloria's fleeting look of disgust to unravel him this deeply? That would make him even more pathetic, a grown man undone by a spoonful of cream and a hurried exit. Get a grip, he snarled inwardly. With deliberate resolve, Lukas snatched up his large plate still mounded with creamy goodness—and the glass of water, risin

Lukas leaned back slightly on the plush carpet, his eyelids fluttering shut as the inaugural bite of Gloria's homemade banana cream pie danced across his palate. The texture was divine velvety whipped cream yielding to tender slices of fresh banana, all cradled in a golden, flaky crust that shattered with the perfect crunch. Each flavor layer unfolded like a symphony: the subtle tang of vanilla, the ripe tropical sweetness of bananas kissed by just the right amount of caramelization, and the rich, buttery undertones that lingered long after the swallow. For a fleeting moment, the high-powered CEO of Apex Innovations—a 25-year-old titan whose company shares had skyrocketed 300% in the last year, whose chiseled features and brooding charisma made him a tabloid heartthrob and red-carpet staple felt utterly transported.Yet, beneath the indulgence, a flicker of irritation simmered. Gloria still treated him like the scrawny kid who'd raid the fridge at midnight, not the man who commanded b

Vernon paused mid-argument, his eyes narrowing as he turned toward the soft voice that had just cut through the chaos. "Lukas, did Annabel do something wrong?" Gloria asked, her tone gentle but firm, stepping into the spacious penthouse kitchen with a warm smile that seemed to diffuse the tension like sunlight breaking through clouds.Lukas and Annabel froze in their heated exchange, both whipping their heads around to face Gloria simultaneously. The little girl, Annabel, with her wild curls bouncing and cheeks flushed from the excitement of the bickering, was the first to pipe up, her voice a dramatic wail laced with righteous indignation. "Mommy! Uncle Lukas wants to rob my banana cream pie! He said he would eat Mommy if I didn't give him my pie! He's being a big meanie!"Lukas's face turned a shade of red, not from embarrassment but from sheer exasperation. "What the rob?! That's ridiculous! I was just trying to claim my rightful pie!" he protested vehemently, crossing his arms ove

Lukas returned to his sleek, high-rise office in the heart of the city, his mood as black as a storm cloud. He was seething, pissed beyond measure because he'd been forced to overhaul his meticulously laid plans for toppling his older brother. What he'd envisioned as a swift, surgical strike a quick but devastating blow to Victor's empire had morphed into a protracted chess game, demanding strategy, restraint, and endless recalculations. Patience had never been Lukas's strong suit; he was a man of decisive action. If he craved something, he seized it with ruthless efficiency, leveraging every ounce of his power, wealth, and cunning. If vengeance called, he delivered nightmares tailored to shatter souls. Lukas was primed to unleash his fury on anyone who crossed his path—fortunately, Isaiah, his sharp-witted assistant, was nowhere in sight. Isaiah had been dispatched earlier to liaise with art vendors across the city, a direct consequence of Lukas's earlier rampage: he'd demolished ha

Ah!" Gloria gasped sharply, her heart slamming against her ribs. She was convinced he was fully awake now, and sheer terror gripped her—she was scared out of her mind, bracing for another explosion of anger.But mere seconds later, Lukas's eyelids fluttered shut again, though he kept her hand firml

Gloria continued to caress Annabel's soft, silky hair with gentle, rhythmic strokes, her fingers moving soothingly until she was absolutely certain her daughter was fully asleep, her breathing steady and even like a soft lullaby.Only then, feeling a wave of relief wash over her, did Gloria slowly

After she was done paying at the counter, Gloria walked out of the school building feeling weak from head to toe. Her entire body ached with exhaustion, as if the forty-thousand-dollar weight had physically drained every ounce of strength from her muscles. The bright midday sun glared down merciless

Gloria shot him a cold, furious glare. Her fingers trembled slightly at her sides.“You’re a bastard, Lukas,” she said through clenched teeth. “Just like your brother.”Without waiting for his response, she turned sharply and walked out of the CEO’s office. Her old heels struck the marble floor lou
