Rafael:

"Boss, are you seriously still wallowing in bed at seven in the morning because some woman didn't text you back?" Marcus's voice cut through my half-conscious haze like a rusty blade. "And here I thought Rafael Velmera was supposed to be untouchable."

The duvet disappeared from my body with one swift yank, and I found myself staring at Marcus's irritatingly smug face. The bastard was enjoying this way too much.

Last night had been torture. I'd stared at my phone like some lovesick teenager, waiting for a message that never came. Me. Waiting for a woman. The irony wasn't lost on me, and it sure as hell wasn't lost on Marcus either.

"Should I go ahead and cancel all your meetings then?" Marcus continued, his tone dripping with mock concern. "I'll tell the board that the almighty Rafael Velmera, terror of Wall Street, couldn't make it to work because a woman he slept with at a bar didn't give him the validation he desperately needed."

A pillow flew across the room before I could

  • Sleeping With My Billionaire Step-Brother   Chapter Twenty

    Rafael:I watched her taillights disappear around the corner, my hands clenched into fists at my sides. The Camry's engine noise faded into the distance, taking with it the only woman who'd ever made me lose control."Fuck," I breathed, the word torn from somewhere deep in my chest."That went well," Marcus said from behind me, his tone dry as dust. "Really smooth, boss. I especially liked the part where you told her she was running scared. Women love that."I spun around to face him, my jaw tight. "Not now, Marcus.""When then? When she's three states away? When she's changed her name again and disappeared forever?" He leaned against the hood of my Rolls Royce, completely unbothered by my anger. "Because at the rate you're going, that's about ten minutes from now."Before I could respond, Dad's voice cut through the tension."Rafael." He stood in the doorway, his face grim. "Inside. Now."The command in his voice was absolute. I'd been raised to obey that tone without question, and e

    Fiona:The box slipped from my numb fingers, landing with a dull thud on the concrete. I couldn't look at him. Couldn't breathe. The sight of Rafael standing there, blocking my only escape, made my chest burn with a rage so pure it felt like acid in my veins."Move your car," I managed to say. The words came out steadier than I felt. I didn't look at him, couldn't risk seeing whatever expression he wore. Pity would destroy me. Desire would be worse."Fiona, please." His voice was softer than I'd ever heard it, almost hesitant. "Just... give me a chance to explain. I can help you with this. I can talk to my father—our father—he listens to me."The vulnerability in his tone caught me off guard. This wasn't the predatory businessman who'd pinned me against his office wall. This was something else entirely."Help me?" I laughed bitterly, still not bending to pick up the box. "Like you helped me this morning when you told me I was legally dead? When you enjoyed watching me fall apart?"Som

    Fiona:I pulled into the first coffee shop I saw, my vision blurred by tears that would not stop falling. The steering wheel was slick with sweat from my palms. My chest rose and fell in ragged gasps as I fumbled for my phone.“I won’t back down, I have to fight.” I thought as I typed for how to reverse a death certificate," The results loaded like a countdown to my execution. Each blue link felt like another nail in my coffin. I pressed the first one with the desperation of someone drowning."Death certificates can only be amended for clerical errors, not reversed for living persons previously declared dead."My stomach dropped. I clicked another link, my heart hammering against my ribs."Resurrection from legal death requires extensive court proceedings and may take years to resolve."Years. The word stabbed through me like a blade. I gasped and clicked frantically on the next result."Once a death certificate is filed and accepted, the legal presumption of death is nearly impossib

  • Sleeping With My Billionaire Step-Brother   Chapter Seventeen

    Rafael:Rafael's hands pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window, his breath fogging the glass as he watched the Toyota Camry twenty floors below. Even from this distance, he could see her shoulders shaking."Shit," he muttered, his jaw clenching.The sight of Fiona breaking down in that pathetic car made something twist in his chest. Something he refused to acknowledge. She was hunched over the steering wheel like the weight of the world had finally crushed her, and he was the one who had delivered the final blow."Boss?" Marcus's voice cut through the silence. "You've been standing there for ten minutes."Rafael didn't turn around. "Have I?""Staring at the parking garage like it holds the secrets of the universe." Marcus moved closer, his footsteps muffled by the thick carpet. "Or maybe just watching a certain someone have a breakdown in a beat-up Camry.""I'm not watching anything.""Right. And I'm not your underpaid assistant who has to clean up after your emotional disasters.

    Fiona:His words echoed in my head as I stood there, still pressed against the wall, watching him shuffle through papers like he hadn't just turned my entire world upside down. Again. My legs felt unsteady beneath me, and I had to force myself to breathe normally. The air in the office felt thick, suffocating, weighted with the implications of everything that had just happened.Rafael didn't look up from his desk. He had dismissed me so completely, so effortlessly, that I might as well have been invisible. The man who had just been pressed against me, who had been whispering filthy words I wanted to hear in my ear, was now the cold, calculating businessman once more. The transformation was so complete it made my head spin."Miss Delacruza." Marcus's voice cut through the fog in my brain. "I'll take you to your supervisor now. You need to learn how things work around here."I stared at him blankly. Miss Delacruza. The fake name felt like a foreign language, like he was speaking to som

  • Sleeping With My Billionaire Step-Brother   Chapter Fifteen

    Fiona:The fake identity card stared back at me like a mockery—my face trapped behind lies, my entire existence reduced to a fiction someone else had written. Fiona Delacruza. Even the name felt foreign on my tongue, like swallowing glass."Why do you like shouting? You need to calm down and listen." Rafael's voice cut through my rage like a blade, that infuriating control never wavering."And why do you keep telling me to calm down?" I wanted to laugh. Or scream. Or throw something at his perfect face. "You've erased me. You've literally erased who I am!"I kicked at the papers, sending them scattering further across the polished floor. Work permits, background checks, references—all lies. All carefully constructed deceptions that painted me as someone I'd never been."My name is Fiona Velmera," I spat, my voice cracking on the syllables that had defined me for twenty-four years. "I am a fucking Velmera. You don't get to take that away from me."Something flickered across Rafael's fa
