I did not sleep again.

No matter how hard I tried, my body refused to relax.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw it.

The man is on his knees.

The blood.

Cyrus’s calm expression was like it was nothing.

I turned onto my side, then onto my back, then sat up again with a frustrated sigh.

“This is pointless,” I muttered.

The room felt smaller now.

Not physically, but mentally. Like the walls had closed in without moving.

I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stood up, pacing slowly across the

    I did not answer him immediately.Not because I did not hear the question, but because I did not know which answer would not make everything worse.Vane stood there, watching me with that calm expression that never truly meant calm. There was something restrained in his posture, something held back so tightly it made the air around him feel heavier.“You want to explain what that was?”The question echoed in my head again.I exhaled slowly and ran a hand through my hair, buying myself a second.“It was nothing,” I said.The moment the words left my mouth, I knew they sounded weak.Vane did not react the way I expected. He did not get angry. He did not raise his voice. If anything, his silence became sharper, more deliberate.“Nothing,” he repeated.There was something in the way he said it that made my chest tighten.I frowned slightly. “It just happened. It did not mean anything.”That made his gaze shift, not away, but deeper, like he was trying to see through the words instead of l

    For a second, I did not move.I stayed in the doorway with my hand still resting on the handle, staring at a scene my mind had already registered but refused to fully accept at first glance.Nikolai and Elias.Too close.Not just physically close, but close in a way that carried weight, like something had already happened between them that the room had not yet finished confessing.Elias was the first to react. He turned his head slowly toward me, as if my arrival had pulled him out of a place he had not fully realized he had entered. His expression was unsettled, his breathing uneven in a way he seemed unaware of, which made it worse.I noticed everything.I always did.Nikolai, however, did not move at all. He looked at me with calm irritation, like I was an interruption rather than a threat, which was either arrogance or confidence. I had not decided yet.That alone made the air colder.“Am I interrupting something?” I asked quietly.My voice was controlled, too controlled.Elias st

    I did not remember when I fell asleep.One minute I was lying there, staring at the ceiling with my mind running in circles, replaying everything that had happened, and the next… nothing. Just darkness. No dreams. No peace either. Just exhaustion finally winning.The knock was what pulled me back.Not loud, but enough to drag me out of whatever shallow rest I had managed.I groaned softly and pushed myself up, my body feeling heavier than it should. For a second, I just sat there, trying to remember where I was, trying to push away the lingering haze in my head. Then it all came back at once, and my chest tightened.RightThis place, This mess,Another knock.I stood up slowly and walked to the door, opening it without much thought. A maid stood there, her posture stiff, her eyes lowered. She held a tray of food in her hands, careful, almost nervous.“Your meal, sir,” she said quietly.I s

  • Owned By My Stepdad(MxM)   Something wrong

    I knew something was wrong before I even saw him.It was in the way the hallway felt when I stepped out of my room. Even the guards looked different. More alert. More careful with their movements.I walked slowly, my eyes scanning everything, my mind already trying to piece together what I had missed.Then I saw him.Vane was standing at the end of the corridor, his back to me, one hand braced against the wall like he needed it to stay steady. That alone was enough to make me stop. I had never seen him like that before. Never seen him look anything less than completely in control.“Vane,” I called.He did not respond immediately.For a second, I thought he might ignore me completely, but then he straightened slightly and turned. The moment his eyes met mine, something tightened in my chest.“What happened?” I asked, stepping closer.“Nothing,” he said.I let out a quiet breath, shaking my head.

    The moment I walked into the room, I knew something had shifted.Vane was already there, standing by the window with his back to me, his posture rigid in a way that immediately put me on edge. He did not turn when I entered, did not acknowledge my presence, but I could feel the tension in the air like something waiting to snap.I closed the door behind me, the soft click echoing in the silence.“You let him wander too much,” I said calmly, stepping further into the room. “He is starting to see things he should not.”Vane did not move.“He already has,” he replied, his voice low and controlled.I stopped a few steps behind him, studying the set of his shoulders, the tightness in his stance. “Then that is on you,” I said. “You were the one so determined to keep him close.”That got a reaction.He turned sharply, his eyes locking onto mine, and there was no restraint in them this time. “Do not twist this,” he said. “You brought him here.”“I gave him an opportunity,” I corrected, my tone

    I did not realize how tense I was until the door opened again.This time, I did not need to turn to know who it was.I felt him before I saw him.“Leave,” Vane said.His voice was calm, but beneath it was something that made the room shift instantly.The Russian did not argue. That was the first thing that caught my attention. He held my gaze for a second longer, something unreadable passing through his eyes, then stepped back and walked out without another word.The door closed behind him, and just like that, the tension changed.But it did not disappear.It just… redirected.Toward Vane.I turned slowly, my chest tightening as I looked at him. He stood by the door, his posture controlled, his expression unreadable, but his eyes were locked on me like he was trying to figure something out.Or maybe trying to decide something.Neither of us spoke at first.The silence stretched between us, thick and uncomfortable, filled with everything that had not been said yet.“You should not be a

  • Owned By My Stepdad(MxM)   We can't tell vane

    By the time I got back to the house that evening, my nerves were completely shot.Lisa had walked me halfway home, still trying to convince me I was overthinking everything. Maybe she was right. Maybe Elias had just disappeared for a day like he sometimes did when he needed space.

  • Owned By My Stepdad(MxM)   Hated everything

    I hated the way everyone in that room looked like they knew something I didn’t.Every conversation felt half-finished. Every look carried some hidden meaning. Even the way people laughed felt like they were sharing a joke I wasn’t allowed to hear.And Cyrus… Cyrus was the worst of all.He kept smil

    The room went completely silent.For a few seconds, no one moved.Elias’s heart was still racing from everything that had just happened, his breath uneven as the reality of the situation finally crashed down on him. The sheets were tangled around his legs, his hair a mess, his shirt half open.And
