They tell you the work ages you, that the long hours and the constant cutting edge leave lines on your face and your patience worn down to a fine, brittle edge. They don't tell you the things that no one sees—that the wearing down happens inside, where choices have life and errors seethe. Tonight the club and the clinic and the files and the footage and the whiskey taste in Steel's mouth were all sand in my chest. I could breathe—technically—but it was shallow, counted breaths like I was d

  • STEEL'S CURVY SIN & SECRETS   CHAPTER 144: WEDDING

    STEELI never expected to witness this day.Not due to my uncertainty about her affection. Absolutely not. Sin has fueled my passion ever since she labelled me "an arrogant bastard with a god complex" in front of an entire boardroom. At that moment, I realized she was the only woman who could either rescue me or incinerate me. Perhaps either one.Yet today… Today she approached me wearing white.And I promise I can not breathe properly. Majesty’s small hand fits into mine while she stands next to me, her curls bouncing under the flower crown that’s just a bit too large for her. She’s four, self-assured like a queen, and continuously tells anyone who will hear, “My mommy’s marrying my daddy today.”Jaden and Jasson, dressed in identical suits, are positioned on the opposite side. They’re attempting to seem calm, but Jaden keeps nudging his twin as if he’s on the verge of smiling. “Feeling anxious, old man?” he whispers, glancing in my direction.I smile slyly. “Just that your mother c

  • STEEL'S CURVY SIN & SECRETS   CHAPTER 143: BACHELORETTE NIGHT

    SINThe room looked like the consequences of a glitter explosion.Confetti blanketed the carpet, champagne flutes sparkled in dim light, and a hundred “Mrs. Moretti ” balloons floated gently against the ceiling. The laughter had dissipated, yet it lingered in the air like fragrance.Catalina had been the worst of the bunch, presenting me with an “adult basket” and murmuring, "You'll require this, Queen. Majesty—my little, tyrannical flower girl—was nestled in a heap of pillows, her sugar-stained lips slightly ajar.I slumped onto the couch, hair cascading down, cheeks aching from grinning.“Wow, being happy is tiring,” I whispered.Melissa's laughter echoed from the entrance. "Are you?" Fatigued? You’ve endured a kidnapping, a family conflict, and the media. "This ought to be a holiday.""Easy is a term that depends on perspective." I pulled off my high heels. "I haven't put on such harsh shoes since fashion week."She grinned. "Tomorrow, you will wed a man who commands as effortless

  • STEEL'S CURVY SIN & SECRETS   CHAPTER 142: DIVORCE

    SINThe courthouse reeked of burnt coffee and remorse. Perhaps it was the air-conditioning, perhaps it was the attorneys, or perhaps it was just me — seated across from Boyce, my nearly-ex-husband, acting as if signing our names on a pile of documents wasn’t stripping away the final remnant of something that had previously been… good.I looked at him across the table. He appeared serene, overly serene, the sort of tranquillity that indicated he had come to terms with it before I even entered. His fingers drummed on the mahogany tabletop as our attorneys whispered legal terms that neither of us found interesting anymore.“Are we actually going through with this?” I inquired, my voice scarcely above a whisper.Boyce’s lips formed a weary, lopsided grin. "Sin, we've been engaged in this for years, and we will remain family for the rest of our lives." “This is merely paper showing the dissolution of our marriage.”I let out a soft snort. “A full stop or an exclamation mark?”He gave a sly

  • STEEL'S CURVY SIN & SECRETS   CHAPTER 141: TERROR GONE

    STEELThe scent of diesel and blood filled the air. The docks had fallen silent, save for the steady drone of the generator and the relentless pounding of the waves. I stood at the entrance of the warehouse, the barrel of my gun shining beneath the overhead floodlight, and observed Damian attempting to persuade one of his men to repair the jammed gate.He was older, less strong. Yet I could still perceive the same icy arrogance in his stance — that slight lift of his chin, as if the world still owed him its backbone.“Funny,” I remarked, emerging from the darkness. "You have always been someone who believed he could outrun his wrongdoings."Damian stood still. His men moved — and stood still as well. Their weapons lifted, but before they had time to react, Jasson’s voice sounded calm behind me.“Drop your weapons.”The noise of safeties disengaging echoed around — Keith on the left side, Boyce on the right side, Adrian behind, and my twins, Jasson and Jaden, overseeing the exits. The

    DAMIAN The noise of my own breath began to annoy me as every other thing that moves these days.Excessively noisy. Excessively pointed like the very air sought to blame me for something.The city buzzed outside my office window, lights spilling into the night like fresh injuries, but in this space—everything felt frigid, silent, and vibrating beneath my skin. The television remained on in the background, silent, looping the same damn headline:Detective Calloway taken into custody regarding Nyla Vasclov's death—sources suggest links to Damian Valorti's activities under federal scrutiny.My identity. Upon the display. Once more.I looked away before I tossed something at it.This was not meant to occur. Not in this way. Rustov was meant to wipe away the blood, maintain the equilibrium, and support the walls. He assured me of consistency. He guaranteed me authority. Now he was decaying six feet down, and everyone who’d ever gripped my hand was either gone, concealed, or blabbing to the

  • STEEL'S CURVY SIN & SECRETS   CHAPTER 139: FAMILY

    MALIKThe noise of soil striking the casket stays in your mind.It stays for a very long time.It's similar to a terrible tune that just keeps playing.Every muted impact felt like another hit to my heart. I remained in place, my fingers gripping the edge of my jacket, gazing at the white lilies placed atop the mahogany box that contained my sister. Nyla.I still found it hard to believe she was inside.The priest’s voice faded into ambient sound — messages of peace, salvation, and divine mercy that failed to resonate with me. Not a single one did. My mind was overwhelmed with recollections.The sound of her laughter.Her mood.How she would push me away and then brew me tea shortly after.She's dead now.I sensed a hand on my shoulder. I only turned when his voice reached me — soft, fractured, and shaking.“Dear child....”Boyce.He was next to me, his hand heated on my shoulder, eyes bloodshot. I could see the remorse consuming him, the sorrow weighing heavily in his silence.“Forgi
