I gave him a relieved smile. Thankful that he accepted my denial. But he still made no indication that he was done with our conversation. If you could call it that.

“So, tell me, Sawyer. If you don’t need to work at the club, what do you do for a living?” he asked, reaching over my shoulder for a bottle of very expensive champagne that was on ice. Followed by a single glass.

“Uh, well…” I swallowed again. Watching his hands as they deftly opened the bottle. “What do you do?” I asked, sticking to

  • Sins of the Family: Falling for my Step-Uncle   Chapter 165: Sylas

    Everyone started to stand from the conference table. They shook hands and murmured their goodbyes to each other, but they were smart enough to stay well clear of me. I had no intention of pretending to be content with this decision. But Sawyer seemed fine with it. So, that saved them from any repercussions from me for the time being.Out of respect, Sawyer stood by her chair. Letting the rest of the board leave before her. Just as Rick came up next to me, I saw Bella approach her. I tensed.“Try not to take it personally, Sawyer,” Bella told her. “This really only applies to any role requiring a security clearance. I would hate to think you felt like you weren’t welcome within the company in any capacity.” She reached into her bag and pulled out some paper. “In fact, I’ve taken the liberty to put together a few applications for you. They’re for some entry-level positions. You know, something more appropriate to your experience.”My hands fisted. She was trying to humiliate Sawyer even

    I started to panic as we got closer to the conference room. I was terrified they would know what we’d just done in his office. Sylas and I knew what happened only showed how strong our relationship was, but I knew the people in that conference room would take the wrong way entirely. How could they not?I shook off the thoughts. How could they know? It would be fine. Everything would be fine.I took the seat at the end of the table. Feeling every eye in the room on me. Sylas moved to stand against the wall. Giving the board members enough space to feel they could converse but still making sure they knew he was there and he would have a say.Holding my head high, I looked around at each of the familiar faces. For the most part, I had only met them the one time at dinner when Sylas announced he would accept the EPA contract. Rick was there, of course. He gave me a supportive smile and nod. But he was the only one that didn’t have me worried. Especially once I saw the smug look on Bella’s

    Sylas was not happy about my suggestion but I felt like it was the best solution. This would give me the opportunity to defend myself. However, I was a bit surprised at how fast Eric jumped at the idea. And how quickly he managed to arrange the meeting.“They want to catch you off guard,” Sylas said bitterly, pacing his office that evening. “They don’t want to give you time to prepare a lie.”“Well, I had no intention of lying, so that doesn’t really matter,” I told him calmly.“I know you weren’t. That’s not the point,” he stated. “You shouldn’t have to do this in the first place.”“Why not?” I asked honestly. “You gave me a job, Sylas. Anyone else would have to interview, have a background check, and go through all the other avenues to make sure they were a good candidate. I know it’s your company, but they have a vested interest in it.”“And they should trust me to protect that interest,” he replied angrily. “They have for all these years before. Why question now?”He needed to rel

    As I entered the office, I found Sylas at his desk, brooding over some papers in front of him. He looked tired. Run-down even. Enough that I paused for a second. I’d never seen him like this. Not even this morning when I knew he wasn’t looking forward to dealing with the aftermath, despite his assurances. My heart ached as I realized I hadn’t really done much to take care of him through this.In fact, I’d been a little distant, considering.When he was first released, we let ourselves get distracted by the heat and passion that was always there between us. Somewhere under the surface whenever we were close. But when we came back to the real world, something seemed off. I felt like he wasn’t being honest with me about the seriousness of the situation.Then he left to work last night, which had taken me completely by surprise. It felt like he was avoiding me. That, of course, stirred my insecurities. When the hour stretched into several, I’d started to think he was rethinking our engagem

    Apparently, rumors spread as fast through Sylas’ company as they did at Wyvern Capital. For the most part, my time at the lab was professional and productive. Everyone was polite and cooperative. At least to my face. But I certainly caught some whispers and glances throughout the morning. And I couldn’t be sure if their behavior was out of any professional courtesy or because Dante and Andre were with me the entire time.I think I handled the situation well, but I still hated it. It reminded me of the reason why I would never have used Dimitri’s name to get a job with the company. I didn’t care that I was there to investigate the company. I still wanted to be respected for my work. And that was a job that didn’t mean much to me. This… this meant something. Whether I stayed with the company long-term or not, I wanted to be respected. It was hard to picture that as being possible when I was seen as Sylas’ illicit lover.The whole thing made me sick to my stomach.Still, I took Sylas’ ad

    “Good morning, Andrea,” I greeted an hour later as I climbed into the back of the town car Andre had driven to pick me up. “How are you this fine morning?”Andre gave me a smile through the rearview mirror. “Good morning, Ms. Hopkins,” he replied. “I’m ready to start the day.”I was scheduled to meet Dante at the lab this morning, while Sylas would be at the office. I would be meeting with the research teams that would be taking on the EPA projects. So, I didn’t have to be at the main office until this afternoon. I hoped that meant we wouldn’t be confronted with any of the drama Sylas had warned me about but we would have to see.“It will potentially be an eventful one,” I told him. “I hope you’re prepared for that. And please, call me Sawyer.”“Sylas has fully informed me of the situation,” he said as he pulled onto the street. “You’re in good hands.”“Do you have a lot of experience with fighting the press?” I asked him.“Oh yes,” he replied. “I used to protect some of the younger D

    I was about to ask what he was saying when I heard my mother’s laughter coming back inside. My cheeks flushed bright red as I scrambled to get away from him. I stumbled back around the corner and into the kitchen.“There you are, honey,” Mom said. “Come outside.”“Um…” I swallowed and cleared my th

    “You know, no one could believe it when you showed up at the party this weekend, cousin,” Charles said as he followed me into Dimitri’s office Monday morning. “I believed it even less when Meech called and said you’d be coming in for a few days.”“And I’m assuming Dimitri also told you that I had f

    “Babe, I think you’re focusing too much on the whole uncle thing,” Christine said as we sat on the couch the next morning. “I mean, you guys aren’t actually related. You’ve never even met before. Hell, you’ve only met your stepfather three times. It’s not like you call him ‘daddy,’ or anything.”“Ha

    Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit.I didn’t just hear that right, did I? I couldn’t have heard that right.BROTHER? My mystery lover was my stepfather’s BROTHER?The tension in the room was palpable. From what I understood, Sylas Drakos had been estranged from the family for over a decade. Dimitri ha
