SEVEN NIGHTS WITH MY STEPFATHER Chapter 238
IVYI stood there in the middle of the living room, my legs feeling weak, like the floor might disappear beneath me. Everything was crashing down at once. The memories I had tried so hard to push away were flooding back now, clear and sharp, like broken glass cutting into my chest. Cassian’s face, his voice, his touch — they all felt different now. . The lies he had told me since the day I woke up in the hospital made my stomach turn. He had painted us as some beautiful love story, but all I could see were the cracks, the control, the obsession hiding behind every gentle word.I remembered what Noah had said on the dock. "Wait until tomorrow morning. Trust me." Those words were the only thing keeping me standing right now. I couldn’t run yet. I had to play along, even if every part of me wanted to scream.Cassian stepped closer, his eyes full of worry and something deeper — fear. He reached for my hand, but I kept mine at my sides.“Ivy,” he said softly, his voice almost breaking.

IVYThe walk back from the lake felt longer than it should have. My legs were tired, my mind even more so. The cool night air brushed against my skin, but it did nothing to calm the storm inside my chest.Every step closer to the house brought back the memory of Cassian’s desperate voice through the door, his broken apologies, and that painful flash of my mother’s warning. I didn’t know how to face him. I didn’t even know how to face myself.When I pushed open the front door, the house was lit up but quiet. Too quiet. Then I heard footsteps rushing down the stairs. Cassian appeared in the hallway, his face pale and panicked. His hair was messy, like he had been running his hands through it for hours. The moment he saw me, relief washed over his face, but it was mixed with something sharper — fear.“Ivy!” He crossed the distance in seconds and pulled me into a tight hug. His arms wrapped around me so hard I could barely breathe. “Where have you been? Why didn’t you tell me? I thought I

NOAHThe moment our lips met, something changed in the air between us. Ivy’s kiss was soft at first, then deeper, like she had been waiting for this as long as I had. I held her face gently, my thumbs brushing her cheeks, pouring every bit of love I had carried through all those empty months into that one kiss.The lake water lapped quietly against the dock, the cool night air brushing our skin, but all I could feel was her. My heart raced so hard I thought it might burst.Then she pulled back suddenly. Her eyes were wide, filled with tears that spilled down her cheeks in the moonlight. I froze, my hands still cupping her face.“Hey, what’s wrong?” I asked, my voice full of worry. “I’m sorry if I—”“Noah…” she whispered. She reached up and cupped my face with both hands, looking at me like she was seeing me for the first time. Confusion crossed her face for a second, then something shifted. Her eyes filled with recognition. She pulled me into a tight hug, burying her face in my chest.
SEVEN NIGHTS WITH MY STEPFATHER Chapter 235
IVYThe sound of a car engine pulling away woke me up. I opened my eyes slowly, my body stiff and sore. I was still on the floor behind my bedroom door, curled up like I had fallen asleep crying. The room was dark, and the house felt too quiet.I rubbed my eyes and stood up, my legs shaky from sitting there so long. My head felt heavy, but the pain from earlier had faded into a dull ache.I unlocked the door and stepped out. The hallway was empty. I walked downstairs, calling softly, “Cassian?” No answer. I checked the kitchen, the living room, even the small balcony. Nothing. His jacket wasn’t on the hook by the door. I opened the front door and looked outside.His car was gone. The empty spot in the driveway looked cold under the moonlight. He had left late at night, without saying anything. My chest tightened. I didn’t know if he was angry, hurt, or just giving me space. Either way, the house felt bigger and lonelier without him.I went back upstairs to my room. My phone was still

IVYI stayed curled up on the floor behind the locked door, my back pressed against the wood like it could keep the whole world out. Hours had passed since I ran inside.The sunlight outside had slowly faded into soft evening shadows, and still I hadn’t moved. My phone kept lighting up on the bed with calls from Noah, but I couldn’t bring myself to answer. Every ring felt like another weight on my chest. I didn’t know what to say to him.I didn’t even know what to say to myself. Everything inside me felt uncertain, like I was standing on ground that kept shifting beneath my feet.Cassian had been outside the door for a long time. At first his voice was gentle, then it cracked, and now it sounded like he was crying. I could hear him breathing heavily, like every word hurt to say.“Ivy… please,” he said, his voice thick with tears. “I admit my mistake. Maybe I was just afraid of losing you. I was afraid because no one really cared about me before. Your mother was right about one thing.
SEVEN NIGHTS WITH MY STEPFATHER Chapter 233
IVY The cool morning air on the dock suddenly felt colder. I sat there with my feet still dipped in the lake, staring at Cassian as his words settled over me like heavy stones. He had just told me a story that didn’t feel right at all. According to him, Noah had shown up in Hawaii while we were happy together — taking pictures on the beach, laughing, enjoying our time. Noah had provoked me, said terrible things about Cassian, and somehow I had believed him. Cassian claimed he didn’t even know who Noah was back then. The whole story sounded forced, like pieces that didn’t quite fit together. I pulled my feet out of the water and turned to face him fully. My heart was beating faster now, a mix of confusion and frustration rising in my chest. “I don’t believe that,” I said quietly. “Noah doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would do something like that. From what I remember in my flashes… he felt kind. Safe. Not someone who would try to hurt us on purpose.” Cassian’s face tighte

IVYI woke up tangled in Noah’s arms on the couch that was never meant for two people.My back was pressed to his chest, his breath warm against the back of my neck, one arm slung over my waist like he was afraid I’d slip away in the night. The couch cushions had sagged under our weight, leaving u

I couldn’t stop crying.The tears came in waves—hot, endless, soaking the pillow under my cheek. My body still hummed from what we’d just done, still felt the ghost of him inside me, still ached in that deep, familiar way that made my stomach twist with shame. Cassian was gone now, the door locked

The dream pulled me under like quicksand, thick and unrelenting, dragging me back to that forbidden room where the air hung heavy with the scent of darkroom chemicals and my own rising heat. I stood there naked, my skin prickling under the harsh glow of the overhead light, every curve exposed as C

IVY A month had passed since I left the city, and living in this new place still felt like wearing someone else’s skin. The small town was quiet—too quiet sometimes. Streets rolled up after nine, the only store open late was the gas station on the highway, and the motel I lived in had the same s
