Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter 117: He would come for me, right?
Kian's POV"Hello, darling."The voice on the other end immediately made my stepmother's face go pale. She didn't even speak at first, just stared at the phone like she'd suddenly forgotten how to breathe. Then she swallowed and tried to keep her voice steady. "Who... who is this?" A low laugh came from the other end. "Don't tell me you've forgotten your boo already."Her eyes widened."Sebastian," she whispered.My dad's expression changed immediately at the name, and I felt something tighten in my chest. I knew exactly who Sebastian was. Ariana's father, My Father had told me about him.My stepmom looked like she was about to end the call, but the man on the other end spoke again before she could. "I know you're thinking of ending the call, but Ariana wouldn't be very happy about that."Then I heard her."Mum?"My entire body went still."Ariana?" My stepmother's voice cracked as she immediately gripped the phone tighter."What the hell—" My dad stepped forward and snatched the pho
Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter 116: She was trying to reach me
Kian's POVAfter Ariana walked away, I was still standing there, staring at the direction she'd disappeared into when I noticed Alora standing a few feet away. She hadn't moved. She was looking at me with confusion and worry, before her eyes shifted toward the hallway Ariana had just walked through and then back to me.She slowly walked closer. "You probably don't want to talk to me too." Her voice was quieter now. "Do I also cause you pain?"Shit.She'd heard me.Everything I'd said to Ariana, she'd probably heard all of it. I looked at her but didn't know what the hell I was supposed to say to a thirteen-year-old girl who had just found out that I was her brother and had now heard me tell someone that pain was all I could see when I looked at them.I said nothing, and apparently my silence was enough of an answer because she looked down for a second before lifting her eyes back to me."Are you really my mother's son?"The question left an awkward silence between us. She stared at me
Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter 115: RUN, ARIANA
Ariana's PovAs I walked past, I realized Alora had been standing there the whole time, watching us and probably hearing everything. I looked at her for a second, and I could already see the questions written all over her face. “Are you…” I started, but I stopped myself. There was really nothing I could say to her about any of it. “Take care of your mother, and take care of yourself too,” I said instead, forcing a small smile. “I'll be leaving now.”I turned and walked away before she could ask anything else. By the time I got outside the hospital, I tried my best not to think about what had just happened inside. Kian's words were still in my head, his mother's tears, everything about the whole situation felt like too much, and honestly, I just wanted to get somewhere I could lie down. That was all I needed right now. Just to lie down and forget about everything for a while.I stood outside waiting for a cab when someone suddenly tapped my shoulder. I turned around, already expecting
Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter 114: So it's my fault?
Ariana's PovA few minutes later, I was ready.I grabbed my bag, headed downstairs, and found Kian already waiting outside. Neither of us said anything as we walked toward his car. He unlocked it, and I climbed into the passenger seat while he walked around to the driver's side.The engine started, and before long, we were pulling away from the mansion.Just like I'd expected…… the drive was quiet.Not comfortable quite but the sort that sat heavily between two people, as though both of them had a hundred things to say but neither wanted to be the first to say them.I turned my attention to the window, watching the familiar streets slip past one after another.After a while, I noticed him glance at me for a second before his eyes returned to the road. A few more moments passed before he finally spoke."Do you love him?"The question landed so suddenly that even after few seconds, I couldn't even process what he'd just asked.I slowly turned to look at him.His hands remained steady on
Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter 113: I don't like siblings
Ariana's PovAfter calling him over and over again and getting nothing but silence, I finally gave up.I looked down at the little girl sitting quietly beside Scarlett."Do you have a phone?" I asked gently.She nodded and reached into her pocket before handing it to me.I took it from her. "What's your name?""Alora," she answered softly."How old are you, Alora?""I'm thirteen."I gave her a small smile before saving my number into her phone."If anything changes or you need someone, call me, okay?"She looked at me for a second before giving a small nod. Before we left, one of the doctors came out and told Alora she could finally go in and see her mother. Relief washed over her face as she hurried after the nurse.Not long after that, Mum was done with her own appointment. The doctor prescribed a few medications, which I stopped to collect from the pharmacy before we finally headed back to the mansion.****************I stood outside Kian's bedroom door for what felt like forever.
Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter 112: Should I call him?
Ariana's Pov"What happened to her?" I asked softly.She lowered her head, rubbing at her eyes with the back of her hand before answering."Pneumonia."The word came out in a whisper."She's had it for months now, but... these past few days the medicine doesn't seem to be working anymore. She's been in the hospital for two days."Fresh tears rolled down her cheeks as she spoke."I was with her when she suddenly said she couldn't breathe properly. I called the doctors, and they rushed in." Her voice trembled. "They told me to wait outside." She looked down at her hands. "She's in so much pain."I turned to look at Scarlet for a brief moment. The concern on her face matched exactly how I felt. When I looked back at the girl, my heart ached for her."It's okay," I said gently, reaching out and pulling her into a hug. "She's going to be okay."She didn't hug me back at first. Then, after a few seconds, I felt her arms slowly wrap around me.I stayed like that with her for a while, gently
Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter Five: Silent submission
*Kian’s POV*Family. Right. Like that word meant anything to me five minutes ago. Mrs. Vivienne and Mercer were at the door, all polite smiles and low voices. No cheek kisses, no drawn-out hugs. Just the kind of goodbye adults give when there’s nothing real behind it. Mercer clapped me on the s

Off-limits: My One-Night Stepbrother Chapter two:To forget; One night with a stranger
_Ariana's pov_“Yhh, I had a day,” I said, turning away from him quickly.I didn’t look at him as I tipped the glass back. The whiskey burned going down, hot and fast, and I didn’t stop until the glass was empty. I slid it back toward the bartender with shaking fingers. “Another one.” The day had
