Rhea

The Sterling Grand Hotel ballroom was exactly what I’d expected—elegant, expensive, and designed to remind everyone in attendance exactly how much power and money the Sterling family wielded.

Crystal chandeliers hung from vaulted ceilings. White tablecloths covered dozens of round tables arranged around a central dance floor. A string quartet played soft classical music in one corner. Servers in crisp uniforms circulated with champagne and hors d’oeuvres.

And everywhere, people in designer

  • Ravaged By My Cold-Hearted Stepbrothers    Her Boys

    ZuriMaya was already in her pajamas, cross-legged on the bed scrolling through her phone, when mine buzzed on the nightstand.Audric: What are you up to?Me: About to go to bed. We leave early tomorrow.I set the phone down and had barely reached for my toothbrush when it started ringing instead. Audric's name lit up the screen."Hey." I answered, glancing at Maya."Can you sneak into the game room?" His voice was low, like he already knew he was asking something he shouldn't be."Right now?""Right now."I looked at Maya, who was already watching me over her phone, one eyebrow raised like she'd heard the entire question through the speaker."Go." She waved a hand, grinning. "I'll survive one night without you. Go be with your boys.""You're the best, you know that?""I do know that. Now go before I change my mind and make you stay and paint my nails."I slipped out of the room in socks, phone still warm in my hand, and made my way down the back stairs toward the game room, my heart

  • Ravaged By My Cold-Hearted Stepbrothers    At Peace

    ZuriDinner had never felt this quiet in this house before, not the tense kind of quiet from the last few days, but something softer. Plates clinked. Wine got poured. My mum sat across from me, and for the first time since everything came out, she wasn't avoiding my eyes.Alexander stood first, tapping his glass with a fork."Before we eat, I think there's something that needs to be said properly, instead of shouted across a living room." He glanced at Diane, then at my parents. "So I'm going to let the person who actually deserves to say it first."He sat back down, and my mum set her fork aside, folding her hands in front of her."I owe all of you an apology." Her voice was steady, but I could hear what it cost her to keep it that way. "I reacted badly when I found out. I said things I regret, and I spent the last few hours looking at my daughter like she'd done something wrong, instead of asking her why she was happy.""Mum, you don't have to—""Let me finish, baby." She reached ac

  • Ravaged By My Cold-Hearted Stepbrothers    Fingers Deep

    ZuriDiane had me chopping vegetables while she stirred something on the stove, the kitchen warm with the smell of garlic and butter, the two of us falling into an easy rhythm we’d built over years of exactly this.“Can I tell you something?” She didn’t look up from the pot.“Always.”“I like you.” She said it simply, like it was a fact she’d been sitting on and finally decided to hand over. “I don’t have a single problem with you being with my sons. If all three of them wanted to marry you tomorrow, I’d bless that union without hesitating.”My knife stilled against the cutting board. “Thank you, Diane. That means more than you know.” I glanced at her, throat tight. “I just wish my mum was as open-minded about it.”“Don’t worry about that.” She reached over, squeezing my hand once before going back to the stove. “I’ll talk to her. Mother to mother. She’ll come around eventually. Rhea loves you too much not to.”Her phone rang before I could answer. She wiped her hands on a towel, glan

  • Ravaged By My Cold-Hearted Stepbrothers    Court

    EthanThe basketball court sat at the far end of the compound, something our dad had built years ago back when he still played on weekends with his old college friends. None of us had much use for it these days. Hockey was where our heads were, where our hands were, where every free hour we had actually went. But Brandon and Jackson had asked if the court still worked, and there was no way any of us were saying no to that.I found out fast why they'd asked."Pass it here." Jackson called for the ball, and the second it hit his hands he was gone, weaving past Chris like he wasn't even there, sinking it clean through the hoop without so much as slowing down."Again?" Chris bent over, hands on his knees, already out of breath. "How are you doing that?""Years of practice." Brandon grinned, stealing the rebound from Audric before he could even set his feet. "Give or take."We'd been out there almost half an hour, and between the two of them, I don't think our side had touched the ball mor

  • Ravaged By My Cold-Hearted Stepbrothers    BFF

    ZuriI found Maya waiting in my room when I finally made it upstairs, curled up on the bed like she'd been sitting there for a while already, patient in a way that wasn't usually her style."Come here." She patted the mattress beside her.I sank down next to her, exhaustion finally catching up with everything from the last twenty-four hours, and let my head drop onto her shoulder."Okay, I have to say something." Maya's voice held that particular tone she got right before she said something wildly inappropriate. "I think it's genuinely so cool that you're dating three insanely hot guys. All three of them. Meanwhile I've been out here manifesting one halfway decent guy who texts back, and you just casually collected an entire matching set."A laugh escaped me, cracked and wet, tangled up with the tears still threatening to spill over again. "It's not that simple, Maya.""I know, I know, big feelings, complicated family drama, I'm getting there." She bumped her shoulder against mine. "B

  • Ravaged By My Cold-Hearted Stepbrothers    Worst Breakfast

    ZuriBreakfast was quiet in the worst possible way, forks scraping plates, nobody quite meeting anyone else's eyes across the table."We've booked our flight for this evening." My mum set her coffee down, voice steady but final. "We won't be staying until Monday after all.""If this is about what happened," Alexander said carefully, "we're sorry. We didn't raise these boys to behave this way. We don't know what came over any of them last night. You were meant to stay until Monday. Why rush off over one little altercation? This family has come a long way, Rhea. We've shared dinners, celebrations, years of friendship. One night shouldn't be enough to break that.""One little altercation." My mum's voice sharpened instantly. "You're calling what your sons did to my daughter a little thing?""It was consensual. My sons didn't force themselves on her.” Diane's voice cut in, clipped. "Don't put all of this on my sons, Rhea. Your daughter is equally responsible for whatever this arrangement

    RHEAThe leather seat was cold against my bare thighs. I’d barely managed to pull my clothes back on, fingers fumbling with buttons and zippers that suddenly seemed impossibly complicated. My shirt was inside out. I didn’t have the energy to fix it.Brandon drove in silence, his hands steady on the

    Jackson “See?” Camilla leaned back in her chair, triumphant. “No conspiracy. No blackmail. Just a girl who wants to be popular. Nothing wrong with that.”Nick frowned, looking down at Rhea. “You didn’t tell me about a party.”“It’s not a big deal,” Rhea said quickly. “I wasn’t sure I was even goin

She pushed off the island, examining Nick with open curiosity.“I have to say, I’m impressed.” She took another bite of her apple. “Didn’t picture Rhea with someone so… put together. Stylish.

    RHEABrandon and Jackson stopped dead in the doorway.I watched their eyes travel over me—taking in the blood-red silk, my makeup, my spread legs, the shameless confidence in my pose. Their gazes lingered on my exposed breasts, dropped to where the nightdress had ridden up to show everything, then
