Grayson

The ride back home is suffocatingly quiet. Isabella insisted on staying at that rotten house, and after making sure she locked her door and having her swear to call me immediately if anything went wrong, Rae and I headed out.

We could've driven ourselves, but Edward insisted his driver take us. Obviously to eavesdrop on whatever we might say.

Rae hasn't said a word, but I can feel her gaze burning into the side of my head. I can't bring myself to look at her yet. Can't face whatever judgment or disappointment might be written across her face.

"You were so blunt earlier," she murmurs, finally breaking the silence.

I hum noncommittally. "Good."

She's quiet for a moment, then adds softly, "Still... you were pretty mean to him."

I turn to look at her sharply. "Mean? I was warning him. Ahead of time. Not my fault he didn't like hearing the truth."

"Gray—"

"He wants to be a Blackwell, doesn't he?" I shrug, my voice hardening. "Well, congratulations. He'll be treated like a Blackwell

  • On Thin Ice: A Forbidden Step Siblings Affair   Always a Norman, Never a Blackwell.

    Raelynn"This is stupid!" Isabella screeches, pacing back and forth across the sunroom like a caged animal. Her hands claw through her hair repeatedly. "How could he... how could he such a..."She keeps trying to find the right word, her mouth opening and closing as rage renders her speechless."Monster. Psychopath. Asshole," Gray supplies calmly from where he's sprawled in an armchair, looking far too relaxed for someone who just got told he might be disowned.Apart from getting lost in his thoughts for a few minutes and occasionally muttering creative insults about Edward, he doesn't seem surprised or particularly fazed by any of this.Isabella spins to face him, confusion written across her features. "Aren't you surprised? Angry? He just threatened to disown you!"Gray taps his fingers against the armrest in a steady rhythm. "Angry?" He clicks his tongue. "I'm too disgusted for anger." He pauses, then adds casually, "And why would I be surprised about something I already knew?""Al

  • On Thin Ice: A Forbidden Step Siblings Affair   Compete Like Animals.

    GraysonFor a moment, no one says a word. We're all just sitting here, trying to process the absolute nonsense that just came out of Edward's mouth.Then Isabella stands up so suddenly her chair scrapes backward with a screech that makes everyone flinch. She looks like a feral cat ready to scratch out Edward's eyes, her whole body trembling with rage."What did you just say?" Her gaze snaps to Jace, who's trying to keep his face unreadable but failing spectacularly. I can see the swirl of emotions flickering across his features—guilt, shame, fear, maybe even hope.Pathetic."How dare you come into our family and cause such commotion!" Isabella's hand slams the table again, and I'm genuinely surprised the wood doesn't crack.Bridget waves her off dismissively. "Hold on." She turns to Edward, her eyes wide with confusion and something that looks almost like panic. "How could you make such a decision without informing me? You can't just switch heirs like they're interchangeable parts!"I

  • On Thin Ice: A Forbidden Step Siblings Affair   Only One Son.

    RaelynnA gasp escapes my lips, my eyes widening in shock. Jace is Edward's illegitimate son? He's Gray and Isabella's half-brother?How is that even possible?My mind races, trying to piece together a timeline that makes sense. When would Edward have had an affair? With whom? And how did Jace end up at Armstrong High, seemingly normal, while carrying this massive secret?I stare at Jace, and suddenly every interaction we've had takes on a sinister new meaning. That first time I met him at the party and he was nice—was that genuine kindness or calculated manipulation? All our conversations, the way he always seemed to know exactly what to say to make me feel better—was any of it real?If he's Edward's son, then did he approach me on purpose? Was I just another pawn in whatever sick game this family plays?No. No, that can't be right.But the doubt is already there, spreading like poison through my thoughts."Honey, what are you talking about?" Mom's voice cuts through the chaos. She t

  • On Thin Ice: A Forbidden Step Siblings Affair   Big Reveal.

    Raelynn"What the hell?" Isabella scowls, arms crossed as she glares around the empty foyer. "They tell us to come home immediately, then disappear somewhere?"I hug myself, trying to ward off the chill that has nothing to do with the temperature. The last time I was in this house, my mother used me as a human shield while Isabella held a knife. The phantom pain of that cut pulses against my arm.I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to block out the memory. But worse than the physical pain was the look on my mother's face—that complete absence of care. Like I was nothing. Like I'd never been anything."You okay?"I open my eyes to find Isabella watching me with an awkward expression that might almost be concern."Yeah," I lie."Sunshine."I turn at Gray's voice, and he's there, walking toward me with that intensity he always carries. I move to him without thinking, and his arms wrap around me immediately. I don't care that Isabella's watching. I don't care that we're in the middle of the ha

  • On Thin Ice: A Forbidden Step Siblings Affair   Predators.

    Grayson"Look what the cat dragged in."Bridget's voice cuts through the silence of Edward's office like nails on a chalkboard. She’s leaning against the doorframe, that predatory smile already spreading across her perfectly painted lips.My face twitches with disgust. Just seeing her makes my skin crawl."What are you doing here, Grayson?" She steps inside, closing the door behind her with a soft click that sounds unnaturally loud. "Edward isn't even home.""Since when do I need to report my whereabouts to you?" I keep my voice level, but every muscle in my body is coiled with tension.She laughs, moving further into the room with the calculated grace of a predator circling its prey. "Oh, you don't. I'm just... curious. You seem tense lately. More than usual.""I'm fine.""Are you?" She tilts her head, studying me like I'm some kind of fascinating specimen. "Because from where I'm standing, you look like a man carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders."I don't respond, just
