My father is a stranger to me.

Not the friendly kind of stranger, but the kind you know for a better part of your life and yet still find their presence unbearable.

I haven’t been to this house in years now, but it’s always been at the back of my mind, lurking like a presence of all that’s evil and wrong with the world.

Today I have to step foot back into the house I watched my mother lose herself in, but this time I’m less irritable because I know what it’s for.

The surroundings are bland to me, but to anyone else the tall palm trees and silent streets of one of the most luxurious estates would be an astonishing sight.

When the car drives in through the grand gates, the feeling I get is one akin to imprisonment.

My father’s personal henchman, also known as the mansion’s butler, is waiting at the doors when I get down, and like always there’s a note of disdain in his voice when he speaks, “Your father has been waiting hours for you, Master Storm. There’s a short dinner happening in the

    My heart trembles and I hide it by clearing my throat.“What… what do you mean by that?”Estel sighs and settles into the couch beside me. She’s staring at the ceiling, that dead tone still in her voice as she speaks, “I haven’t been around lately, but it doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s happening, Lyra.I know the fact that you’re still here means you and Christian have come to an agreement, am I wrong?”My heart is shaking and it makes me do something silly. I respond with emotion instead of logic, “He said he loves me.”Ivan must have said that too, but that didn’t stop him from betraying Estel’s trust. I know even though we don’t say it, we’re both thinking it. I see as much through the look in Estel’s eyes.She smiles and takes my hand in hers before giving it a light squeeze, “Christian’s love won’t save you from the chaos of the world he lives in.Do you know why famous, high-standing families value their secrets and privacy so much, Lyra?” She doesn’t give me the chance to ans

  • One Night's Mistake: Claimed by my Boyfriend's Brother.   Chapter 132: Are you prepared to handle that?

    If there’s anything I expected to see this morning, it wasn’t Cassie sitting comfortably on a talk show and talking trash about me.“How long did you know the Storm interloper now identified as Lyra Benett?”Cassie makes a show of tossing her hair behind her back with the help of a perfectly manicured nail before resting against the couch as she answers, “Lyra and I have known ourselves all our lives.To her, we only crossed paths in college but everyone around us knows it’s more than that. No, Lyra and I have been connected all our lives. She’s just so oblivious to what’s going on around her that she failed to realize it.If you want to know how long we were friends though, Lyra and I had a friendly kind of relationship for the past four years.”Cassie has never been the kind to do well in an interview and even though I think she spills a lot of irrelevant things here, there’s still enough shock in me to keep my eyes glued onto the screen and ignore her errors.First of all, we haven

  • One Night's Mistake: Claimed by my Boyfriend's Brother.   Chapter 31: Unwanted attention.

    “Miss Bennett.”The hand that shakes me awake is awkwardly gentle, like it’s hesitant to touch, and when it does it makes sure not to linger.That’s strange since Estel usually shakes me awake like she’s trying to rattle my brains out. And Christian… well, Christian has never woken me up from bed, but I know if he did, he wouldn’t be touching me so sparingly.Christian’s touches are bold. Flirtatious.They’re what I crave in this moment, and my mind betrays me by letting a moan slip out as I think those thoughts. The next time my name is called, there’s an urgent note to it. “Miss Bennett, you have to wake up.”The first thing my muddled brain picks up is that neither Christian nor Estel would call me Miss Bennett…. which means whoever is speaking isn’t one of them. My eyes snap open immediately as fear shoots through me like a spear.My vision clears and I find two black-suited men standing in my room. This time, it doesn’t take much time to realize they’re Christian’s men, but if th

  • One Night's Mistake: Claimed by my Boyfriend's Brother.   Chapter 130: What happens...

    Lyra's pov.Christian’s car is waiting for me at the cemetery when i’m done and for a minute, i hope he’s here waiting for me.For a minute i hope he’s waiting in that car, so i can unload some of the grief in my heart to him, but when i get in and see he’s not i realize how silly it was for me to think he would still be waiting here.I was the one who told him to go handle the ruin that’s probably going on right now because of what happened last night at the fundraiser. I was so angry at him last night, but maybe the trip here was helpful, since right now i’m not as angry as i was before, and now i can understand why Christian might not want to deal with last night as much as i don’t want to too.For me, it was my reputation that was tarnished. For him, it’s the memory of a day he wanted to celebrate his mother. If there’s anyone i should be angry at, then it should be fucking Levi.“Where to Miss Bennett?”The sound of the driver’s voice makes me jump a bit, and i clench my hand ove

    My response is swift.”No.”The expression on my father’s face doesn’t lessen in it’s anger and the annoyance in my bones does not lessen as he tries to intimidate, “No?Did you hear anything i said at all?”I nod, “I heard everything you said, but there’s nothing there for me to pay heed to because there’s nothing i want to do in all you’ve said. You didn’t really call me here to tell me how to live my life did you?” I really should stop asking all these questions because he always has an answer.He always does.”I didn’t call you to tell you how to live your life. I summoned you here to tell you how i want you to live your life, how the Storm empire mandates you live your life! Anything else is not allowed.”“You do not tell me what to do.”The words feel false on my lips but i put as much confidence as i can in it.He doesn’t tell me what to do… but i’m not negotiating with just any man and i know that. My mind knows it because each minute spent in this study reminds me of the for
