KILLIAN'S POV

I skated onto the ice so hard my sharp blades cut deep, ugly grooves into the frozen surface. The cold air burned the back of my throat, but I welcomed the pain.

During practice the next morning, I threw my entire weight into every single drill, hoping the physical exhaustion and the heavy hits would blast the image of Carter and Maya out of my head.

But it didn't work. It didn't even come close. Every time I blinked, I saw Carter smiling down at her by the exit door. I saw the

  • Dirty Little Secret With My Stepbrother    Chapter 35

    KILLIAN'S POVI barely had enough time to throw myself under a steaming shower in the locker room, scrub the scent of sweat and ice off my skin, and change into a tailored charcoal suit before I was heading across the city.The heavy, metallic hum of Toronto traffic blurred past my window, but my mind remained entirely elsewhere. Although the fashion networking event was primarily reserved for industry executives and luxury investors, several major corporate sponsors, who heavily backed both the Toronto Wolves and the upcoming charity banquet, had requested a few of the team's star players make brief promotional appearances.The coach had practically ordered me to go. “It's about the bigger picture, Killian,” his voice had rumbled in my head during the drive. “Building relationships off the ice with these executives is just as important as performing on it. Especially now that those international scouts are breathing down your neck.”By the time I arrived at the luxury hotel and hand

    MAYA'S POVThe matte-black invitation sat on the edge of my cluttered desk like a physical challenge, its embossed gold lettering catching the weak morning light. Right beside it lay the stark white printout of the updated charity banquet rehearsal schedule. Both demanded my presence. Both threatened to alter the course of my life depending on which one I chose to pick up.I spent the entire morning staring at them, my mind locked in an exhausting, circular debate. Missing the final, compulsory rehearsal meant risking the displeasure of my department head and potentially letting down the class. But Carter’s words from the day before refused to leave me, echoing in the quiet spaces of my head. Opportunities like this rarely come to people who wait until they feel perfectly ready. I was a final-year student, months away from being cast out into a brutally competitive industry. A closed-door event filled with luxury investors was a door that didn't just knock twice—it usually stayed

  • Dirty Little Secret With My Stepbrother    Chapter 33

    KILLIAN'S POVThe photograph of Carter and Maya lingered at the edge of my mind like a stubborn, phantom ache, long after our breathless, frantic conversation in the shadows of the old library. No matter how many times I told myself to focus on my career, I couldn't shake the image of her smiling up at him outside the university gates, looking so painfully safe in his world.It was a visual loop that kept playing against the back of my eyelids, a constant reminder of the ticking clock we were living on.Determined not to let my complicated personal life bleed into the locker room or compromise the team's momentum again, I arrived at the campus arena long before sunrise for an extra, unscheduled practice session. At 4:30 AM, the empty rink was almost peaceful. The air was biting and crisp, and the ice stretched out before me pristine, smooth, and completely unmarred under the dim, buzzing stadium lights. For a solid hour, the only sound in the entire building was the sharp, rhythmic

  • Dirty Little Secret With My Stepbrother    Chapter 32

    MAYA’S POVI arrived at the arena carrying a heavy garment bag filled with the latest, painstaking alterations for Killian's banquet suit. The crisp, weightless fabric pressed against my arm as I walked, and I found myself desperately hoping that today's frantic, high-stakes schedule would keep my mind entirely occupied. After the terrifying near-miss and the crushing conversation we had shared in the dark corners of the library last night, I needed a distraction. I needed something to anchor me.Instead, the very first thing I heard the moment I stepped through the auxiliary double doors was a loud burst of laughter echoing from the center of the arena floor.Curious, and entirely unable to help myself, I slowed my steps just enough to see what the commotion was about. My heart plummeted. William was standing at the center of a large circle of prominent sponsors, event organizers, and photographers. He was looking unusually animated, his arm gesturing toward where Victoria and Kil

  • Dirty Little Secret With My Stepbrother    Chapter 31

    KILLIAN'S POVThe moment the doorknob began to turn, I reacted entirely on instinct, my movements silent and immediate. I caught Maya by the waist, gently but firmly pulling her deep into the narrow shadow behind one of the tall mahogany bookshelves just as the heavy library door slowly swung open. Both of us remained perfectly still, pressed flush against each other in the tight space. My heart was thudding so violently against my ribs I was certain it would give us away, and Maya's fingers dug hard into the fabric of my shirt, her wide eyes locked onto mine in the darkness. We barely dared to breathe.Through the small gap between the shelves, I watched as one of the overnight housekeepers stepped into the room, a small silver tray balanced in her hand. She was muttering softly to herself about returning a leather-bound book Dad had left behind in the study after dinner. She placed the book neatly on a nearby side table, adjusted a stack of magazines, and then reached over to sw

  • Dirty Little Secret With My Stepbrother    Chapter 30

    MAYA’S POVThe message took far longer to send than it should have. My fingers hovered over the keyboard for what felt like an eternity, staring at the five simple words until they blurred together on the glowing screen. When I finally forced myself to tap send, I immediately locked the phone and shoved it face-down onto the mattress, as though hiding the device could somehow claw the words back.The rest of the evening dragged by with agonizing slowness. Dinner was a battlefield of suffocating silence and polite pretenses. Dad dominated the conversation, enthusiastically discussing the logistical preparations and VIP guest lists for the upcoming charity banquet. My mother, noticing the heavy aura hanging over the table, gently chimed in to remind both Killian and me not to neglect our final-year coursework despite everything else demanding our attention. Killian barely spoke, his responses restricted to stiff, mechanical nods, and I kept my eyes fiercely trained on my plate, neve
