"So what are you saying?" Lyra asked, feeling defensive. "That I shouldn't have come?"

"No, darling," Sophia said. "I'm saying that running away is just a symptom. The real problem is that you're so afraid of disappointing people that you disappoint them by not showing up at all. You're so afraid of making the wrong choice that you make no choice at all. And that's not strength, love. That's just fear wearing a different mask."

Lyra didn't respond. Couldn't respond. Because her aunt was right.

  • Pleasured By My Elder Brother   Chapter 245: I will forget that she is your daughter

    She nodded and carefully climbed off his lap, trying not to trip. She smoothed down her dress, checked her reflection in the window to make sure she was presentable, and then she walked toward the private lounge bathroom to freshen up.Behind her, she didn't see the shift in Damien's expression.She didn't see his eyes go cold.She didn't see the way he leaned back in his chair, his jaw clenching as he processed everything he'd heard during that call with Karla.Damien sat in the silence of his office, running through the conversation in his mind. He'd heard every word his sister had said. Every manipulation, every lie twisted with just enough truth to make it believable. Karla had been surgical in her approach, using their mother's love against Lyra, making her question whether his mother could truly accept them, planting seeds of doubt about whether coming home would result in another devastating separation.It was brilliant, he had to admit.And it was absolutely unacceptable.Beca

  • Pleasured By My Elder Brother   Chapter 244: I won't let them tear us apart again

    Damien's eyes were absolutely black.His jaw was clenched so tightly that Lyra could see the muscle working beneath his skin. His hands were curled into fists on the armrests of his chair, and every single line of his body radiated a kind of controlled fury that made her stomach twist."Mom called you last night," he said again, and his voice was low and dangerous, "and you didn't tell me?"Lyra opened her mouth to respond, but the words wouldn't come."I..." she started, but the excuse died on her lips. Because what could she say? That she'd forgotten? That it had slipped her mind? Both options sounded pathetic, even to her own ears."She called you," Damien continued, his dark eyes never leaving her face, "and instead of telling me, I had to find out through Karla. Through a conversation where my sister was actively manipulating you into doubting coming home.""Damien, I....""Do you understand what that means?" he asked, his voice cutting through hers like a blade. "Do you understa

  • Pleasured By My Elder Brother   Chapter 243: Karla, you're twisting what Mom said

    She didn't hesitate. She never did when he gave her a direct command.With trembling fingers, she tapped the accept button and then the speaker button. She set the phone down on the desk between them."Hi, Lyra!" Karla's voice came through bright and cheerful....suspiciously cheerful, if Lyra was being honest with herself. "I'm so glad you picked up! How are you?"Lyra exchanged a glance with Damien. His expression was unreadable, but she could feel the tension radiating off him in waves."I'm... fine, Karla," Lyra said carefully. "What's going on? It's very early in the morning.""I know, I know," Karla said, and her voice took on a sympathetic quality that immediately put Lyra on edge. "I just wanted to check in on you. I heard that Mom called you last night."Lyra's stomach dropped."How did you...""She mentioned it to me this morning," Karla said, cutting her off smoothly. "And Lyra, I just wanted to reach out because I was worried about you. I mean, Mom calling you after all thi

  • Pleasured By My Elder Brother   Chapter 242: Karla Called Lyra

    All she could think about was Lyra.Lyra coming home.Lyra taking back the studio.Lyra reclaiming her place in their mother's heart.Lyra getting everything.Again."No," Karla whispered to herself, her voice barely audible over the sound of products falling and breaking. "No, absolutely not."She grabbed the last item on her vanity...a jar of expensive face cream, and threw it with all the force she could muster.It hit the wall and exploded, leaving a thick smear of white cream running down the pale surface like a wound.When she was done, her vanity was nearly empty. Her room looked like a disaster zone, products everywhere, some of them broken, all of them wasted.She stood in the middle of it all, breathing heavily, her hands clenched into fists at her sides.The anger was still there, burning just as hot as before, but now it was focused. Channeled. Transformed into something that could be used.Karla looked around at the destruction she'd created and felt a dark sense of satis

  • Pleasured By My Elder Brother   Chapter 241: I Need A Favor

    Karla stood in the center of her room, her entire body vibrating with barely contained rage.The crushed document lay on the floor where she'd thrown it....a pathetic, wrinkled ball of paper that represented months of hope and careful planning.She couldn't think straight. Her mind was racing, jumping from one thought to another, none of them coherent, all of them consumed with anger and desperation.Lyra was coming home.The words kept repeating in her mind like a broken record, a sentence she couldn't escape no matter how hard she tried.Lyra was coming home.And when she did, everything Karla had built, everything she'd worked for, everything she'd managed to create while her sister was away....all of it would crumble to dust.She couldn't let that happen.She wouldn't let that happen.Karla walked over to her bed and sat down heavily, her hands trembling as she reached for her phone. Her fingers moved across the screen with purpose, finding a contact she hadn't called in weeks but

  • Pleasured By My Elder Brother   Chapter 240: Karla Is Furious

    She opened her mouth to respond, but no words came out.Instead, she just stared at him with that expression of complete devastation, tears streaming down her face unchecked.Victor saw her struggle, saw her wrestle with the question, saw her come face to face with the reality of what accepting her children's relationship would mean.And he understood.He pulled her close again, wrapping his arms around her, holding her as tightly as he could."You don't have to make the decision now, dear," he said softly, his lips brushing against her hair. "Let's talk about it later, okay? There's no rush. We can figure this out together."Isabella just shook her head...not in disagreement, but in exhaustion, in emotional devastation, in the overwhelming weight of everything she was feeling.She didn't respond. She simply held onto her husband and let him hold her, drawing strength from his presence, from his understanding, from the fact that he was there with her in her pain.Neither of them notic

    "The Mercers. They were good people. Are good people." Karla's eyes filled with fresh tears. "They passed away six months ago. Car accident. That's when I did the DNA test. I had no one left and I just... I needed to know if there was anyone out there who shared my blood."Isabelle made a soft soun

    LYRA POV:The plane touched down at JFK with a jolt that matched the anxiety thrumming through Lyra's veins.She'd barely slept during the flight, her mind spinning with questions her mother refused to answer over the phone. Urgent. Family matter. Need you home. The words had echoed through her hea

  • Pleasured By My Elder Brother   Chapter 2: He's my BROTHER

    Her phone screen glowed accusingly in the darkness, her shameful confession staring back at her. With shaking hands, she minimized the app and clutched the phone to her chest, heart hammering so hard she thought it might break through her ribs.Footsteps on the stairs.Light, measured and feminine.
