STEPBROTHER BY DAY LOVER BY NIGHT CHAPTER EIGHT
NYLA'S POV I woke up alone.The sheets beside me were still warm. Only the faint scent of his cologne and the dull ache between my thighs proved the night hadn’t been another fever dream.I sat up slowly, pulling the sheet higher over my bare chest. My body felt tender, marked, and already craving more. I hated how easily he had broken every boundary I tried to set.A soft knock came at the door.I froze.“Nyla?” My mother’s voice. “Breakfast is ready, darling.”“I’ll be down in a minute,” I called, forcing my voice to sound normal.Her footsteps faded.I scrambled out of bed, grabbed a robe, and locked myself in the bathroom. The mirror showed everything I didn’t want to see, swollen lips, faint bruises on my neck and eyes that looked far too aware of what I had done.Lucian Knight. The man I had let sleep with me twice. The fact that I couldn't resist made me hate myself.I showered quickly, dressed in a simple white blouse and jeans, and forced myself downstairs.Xavier sat at t

Lucian's pov I stared at the unknown number on my phone for a second before answering.A familiar, lazy voice answered. “ Lucian, are you there?”“May I know who I'm speaking with.” I said.“Man, this is Cassie innit.” He said as he erupted in an annoying laughter.My jaw tightened. “Cassian.” I said flatly.My free hand curled into a fist. “Stay out of my business.”“Or what?” His tone sharpened. “You’re already fucking your new stepsister and you think you get to be territorial?”Silence stretched between us.“You’ve been obsessed with that face for three years. Don’t pretend this is new. Tell me more. I came for the gist .”“Cassian, please stay out of this.” I yelled.“Man, come on. When can we hang out to meet? It's been a long time since you visited my club.”“Just get off my phone. I have business to handle.”I ended the call without another word.I stood in the dark hallway walking towards her room, phone still in my hand, pulse heavy in my throat. A soft sound came from

Lucian's pov.Her eyes met mine as I walked back into the study. I opened my laptop to join the conference meeting, but I couldn't focus.She told me to stay away from her, but how was I supposed to do that when she was the girl I had crushed on and had loved secretly for three years? I sat unfazed during the conference meeting, my mind replaying our conversation in the garden. I dragged a hand down my face and exhaled slowly.I had kept my expression blank throughout breakfast, my voice bored. None of this was easy; every time our eyes met, that night surged through the present. The way she walked up to me that night, she looked at me, even the way her breath sounded that night. And now she's living under the same roof as me. How was I supposed to pretend nothing ever happened? I inhaled as I leaned forward.“Sir, what would you say about the market potential flop at hand?” My assistant's voice jolted me from my thoughts.“Send it to the PR team and advertising team to solve it;

I barely slept.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Lucian standing across the dining table.His eyes. His voice.The way he had looked at me when my mother called us family. I turned beneath the sheets and groaned.This was ridiculous.I couldn't spend the rest of my life jumping every time I heard his name.My phone sat on the nightstand. I stared at it.I still hadn't replied.A knock sounded at my door. I sat up.“Nyla? Breakfast.”My mother's voice. I glanced at the time. Seven thirty.“I'll be down soon.”“Don't take too long." Her footsteps faded.I dragged myself out of bed and stood in front of the mirror. I looked terrible. Dark circles sat beneath my eyes, and my hair was a mess.I quickly showered, dressed, and headed downstairs.I could perceive the smell of coffee when I entered the dining room. My mother was already seated beside Xavier.I smiled faintly.“Good morning.”“Good morning, darling.” Mom pulled out the chair beside her. I sat down.Then I noticed the empty ch

I felt a chill run down my spine the moment he walked in.Lucian.He stood like someone who had walked straight out of my worst nightmare. I couldn't breathe.His piercing dark green eyes met mine, and recognition flashed across my face.He knew me.The stranger I had promised myself I'd never see again. Was standing before me at my mother's new husband's house.And judging by the way Xavier looked at him, I could already tell.I gripped the edge of the table.No.This couldn't be happening. My mother glanced at us.“Nyla?”I forced my eyes away from Lucian. “I'm fine.”She smiled, unaware of the panic racing through me. “Good. Then you can finally meet Xavier's son.”I swallowed.Lucian stepped farther into the dining room.He looked different from the man I'd met that night.He wasn't dressed casually like before. His black shirt fit perfectly across his broad shoulders, and his expression carried an authority that made the room seem smaller.But his eyes were the same.Those unmis
STEPBROTHER BY DAY LOVER BY NIGHT CHAPTER THREE
I should have known my mother's words, "There's someone I want you to meet," would change everything.By the time I arrived at the address she sent me, I was so pissed off I could have just ignored her.I stared through the car window at the enormous metallic gates.They slowly opened.Beyond them stretched a long driveway lined with perfectly trimmed hedges, tall trees, and carefully arranged flowers. At the end stood a big mansion. “Are you sure this is the place?” I asked.The driver glanced at me through the rearview mirror. “Yes, ma'am.” Ma'am?I looked back at the mansion.The car stopped in front of the entrance.I paid the driver and stepped out, adjusting my bag over my shoulder.Before I could even knock, the front door opened.“Nyla!” My mother's voice instantly softened the tension in my chest.She hurried toward me and pulled me into a hug.I hugged her back, although my body remained stiff.“Hi, Mom.”She pulled away and looked me over.“You look tired.” “I am.”“You di
