The next day, I skipped work and spent it at Markus’s place, knowing Kayden would likely look for me at home. I wasn’t ready to face him yet. I was afraid I’d lose control and let all the jealousy and pain I’d been suppressing come pouring out.

That was exactly what I was trying to avoid. I knew I had no right to feel this way, especially since I was the one who broke up with him, even when he begged me not to.

I drank alone while Markus was at work. He had let me stay at his place anyway.

  • STEPBROTHERS WITH BENEFITS    Chapter 143

    “Do you still want to continue modeling?” Kayden asked as he blow-dried my hair.We were now inside my condo unit. I couldn’t help but be surprised to find out that he had been staying here since I left.“I don’t know,” I shrugged.Although deep down, I knew I didn’t want to. I wanted a peaceful life this time.As time passes and we get older, a lot of things change, even the ones we never wanted to.Ever since I returned and got a new phone, I discovered that Clarisse had grown even more successful in her new agency. Part of me was genuinely happy for her, despite everything she’d done to achieve it. It seemed that Mr. Salvador had truly fulfilled the promise he made to her in exchange for successfully ruining my relationship with his son.“All done,” he said.We both settled into the bed after that. The lights were now off, and the only source of light in the room was the lampshade.I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling, while he lay on his side, staring at me.“Can you stay here

    NOAH Within the same week, we flew back. “Mom?” I called out as I stepped into our old house.Kayden followed quietly behind me.A woman in scrubs came out of the kitchen. My eyes narrowed. She might be the one Kayden had been talking to on the phone—the one I thought was his girlfriend.“Good afternoon, sir,” she greeted Kayden before turning to me. “Are you looking for ma’am? She’s in her room, resting.”I didn’t waste another second and headed straight to my mother’s room. I found her lying on the bed with her eyes closed. As if sensing me, her eyes slowly opened—and widened the moment they landed on me.The caregiver quickly moved to her side and helped her sit up.“I’ll just be outside. Just call me if you need anything,” she said before stepping out.“Noah… is that really you?” she asked, her voice cracking. I nodded as I walked closer and sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing her like this in person made me feel even worse.“I’m sorry,” I muttered.She gave me a gentle look. “A

    “So… what are you doing here, anyway?” Noah asked.We were now in his living room, sitting across from each other. The sunlight streamed through the windows, filling the space with warmth. I had made him some tea to help ease his hangover.“I took a long leave,” I said. “I’m here on vacation.”He nodded and set his cup down. “How long?”“Three months.”“You still have two months left,” he said. “I’ll just go back alone.”My brows immediately furrowed. “No. I’m going with you.”“It’s fine. You don’t have to. I can manage.”“Noah,” I said, my tone leaving no room for argument.“Okay, fine,” he gave in. After a moment, he added, “How’s your father?”“You don’t have to worry about him anymore,” I assured him.From the way he looked the last time I saw him, I doubted he could still interfere with us.Us… Did that mean we were together again? He let me touch him last night… Did that count as us getting back together?“Did you do something to him?” Noah asked carefully.I met his gaze. “Do

    “Your mother got into a car accident,” I said carefully. “She got injured and temporarily lost mobility in her legs. That’s the reason I hired a caregiver for her. Fortunately, the doctors said it wasn’t permanent.”I saw the guilt flash across his face.“She’s been going through physical therapy. She’s improving little by little,” I continued to ease his worries.I held his hand and met his gaze.“If you’re feeling guilty for not being there, don’t. While you were gone, I looked for her. I took care of things… for you.”He gave me a small smile, his eyes glassy. “Thank you,” he mouthed.“It’s nothing,” I said softly. “I’d do anything for you. Anything that matters to you… matters to me too.”“I want to see my mom,” he said.“You’re going back?” I asked.He nodded. “I want to make sure she’s really okay.”“Alright. I’ll arrange everything,” I replied.As much as I wanted to finish the remaining two months of my stay here, I would still choose to be wherever he is.“How about you?” I a

    I walked toward him, but before I could even get close, my feet froze against the cold tiles.“I still want you.”I was overwhelmed with relief, but I was still caught off guard. All the jealousy I felt earlier vanished in an instant.“I said I still love you! Even if… I know I shouldn’t. Reject me now so I can finally move on.”“What the fuck are you talking about?” I frowned.“Tell me you don’t love me anymore. Say it right to my face. Even if it hurts, I’ll accept it. Say something cruel so I can finally let go of you. I don’t deserve you. I should be happy for you now,” he said, sounding like he was trying to convince himself more than me.“What?” I said in disbelief. “You tell me you still love me, and then you expect me to do that? Are you drunk out of your mind?”“Why a girl?” he asked, his voice filled with hurt.That only confused me more.“What are you even talking about?” I snapped, starting to get irritated.“Out of all the men in the world, you chose a woman over me? I th

    KAYDENI swatted away the mosquitoes biting at my skin. I was sitting on the wooden chair on his terrace, waiting for him. I didn’t even know how long I had been there.I woke up late, so I didn’t get the chance to talk to him this morning before he left for work. Now, it was almost ten in the evening, and he still wasn’t home.Where was he? Why wasn’t he back yet?He said we would continue the conversation we left unfinished yesterday, but he was nowhere to be found now. Could he be avoiding me?I went back to my house to change. I put on pajamas and a jacket since it was getting colder outside. I returned to his place and waited again.I immediately stood up when I spotted Noah from a distance. My gaze sharpened the moment I noticed the man supporting his weight.He was drunk. No, wasted.I kept my expression blank as I waited for them to get closer. The man looked surprised to see me standing outside Noah’s house.Then my eyes slowly dropped to Noah’s waist. The bastard had his ha

    “Yes,” he answered as if it were the most normal thing in the world. “The other rooms were already taken. I actually made a reservation for three rooms, but there was a last-minute issue with another family, so the hotel had no choice but to give one of ours to them. They already apologized. I just

    It was already 9:30 PM. The resort looked different at night. Soft instrumental music played in the background, fairy lights hung from the trees, and a few guests were scattered around the lounge area. Some gathered by the bar, while others relaxed on beach chairs facing the ocean. I walked down t

    I felt like a bomb had gone off in my chest. I don’t know if I want to punch him again or laugh at how absurd everything has become. Kayden crossed his arms and leaned back in his swivel chair. “She touched what’s mine.” My brows furrowed at his words. “What the fuck, Kayden? I am not yours. And

    “Position yourself face down on the bed,” he ordered. I obeyed his command. He grabbed my waist and slowly brought it down to my hips. He lifted it up, causing my back to arch and my butt to lift. “Your back looks so fucking sexy,” he said huskily as he slapped my butt. My body heated up even m
