Eden’s POV

The morning light poured through the curtains, soft and golden, but nothing about it felt warm. I sat up slowly in bed, my eyes heavy and swollen from the night before. My cheek still throbbed faintly from Lilian’s slap, but that pain was background noise compared to the hollow ache sitting in my chest.

Something inside me had gone quiet. It was like a switch had flipped. The part of me that craved connection, that wanted to be seen, to be loved, that part was dormant now. Burned out

  • Taken by my stepfathers   Who the fuck is Klaus?

    Eden’s POVThe city had a way of feeling like a cage, even when the doors were wide open. After the intensity of the mansion and the silent, heavy gravity of the Schmidt men, I needed a pocket of the world that didn't smell like expensive cigars or ancient, possessive bloodlines. I needed Claire.Claire’s restaurant was a small, bustling sanctuary in the heart of the city—the kind of place where you could smell garlic, fresh herbs, and honest work. It was the only place where I felt like Eden, not the "Asset" or the centrepiece of a Pact, but just a woman sitting at a scarred wooden table.I was nursing a glass of water, watching Claire move behind the counter with the effortless grace of someone who owned her space. She caught my eye and winked, a silent promise that she’d be over the moment the lunch rush dipped. I tried to relax, but a prickle of unease crawled up my spine. It was a sensation I had grown accustomed to lately, the feeling of being watched, not by the protective, hun

  • Taken by my stepfathers   The Cost of Ignorance

    Lilian’s POVThe city felt like it was closing in on me. The neon lights of Manhattan, once so welcoming and full of promise, now felt like cold, judgemental eyes. Every shadow seemed to hold a secret I wasn’t privy to. I had run out of allies. I had run out of secrets. But the questions Daniel had left me with were like glass shards in my mind, cutting deeper every time I tried to ignore them.Brothers. A father. An Asset.I needed to know how deep the rot went. I needed to know if fighting for my place next to Daniel meant I would eventually be forced to submit to Luca—or worse, to men I hadn’t even met yet. The thought of Luca's hands on me made my skin crawl, but the thought of losing the Schmidt empire made me feel like I was disappearing entirely.There was only one man left who played in the same dark, filthy circles as the Schmidts, even if he was a scavenger compared to their apex predator status.Klaus.The elevator ride up to his penthouse was suffocating. I checked my refl

  • Taken by my stepfathers   They Like to put a show

    Lilian’s POVThe drive to the Schmidt Tower was a blur of frantic, triumphant energy. I had the video. I had the proof that would finally tear the golden girl from her pedestal. I had seen Luca’s raw, pulsing arrogance by the pool, but I brushed it off as the bravado of a boy who knew he’d been caught. Daniel was different. Daniel was a man of order, a man who protected his territory with a lethal, quiet intensity. He wouldn't tolerate his son’s hands—or anything else—on the woman he had claimed.I bypassed his secretary with a sharp glare, pushing through the heavy oak doors of his top-floor office. Daniel was behind his desk, the skyline of Manhattan sprawling behind him like a kingdom. He didn't look up immediately. He was signing a stack of documents, the scratching of his pen the only sound in the room."You need to see this, Daniel," I said, my voice trembling with the weight of my victory.He paused, finally lifting his gaze. His eyes were cold, as they always were when they la

  • Taken by my stepfathers   These People are crazy

    Lilian’s POVThe drive to the Schmidt estate was fuelled by a cold desperation. For three days, the whispers had been growing louder in the circles I clawed my way into. Eden was back. Not just back, but ensconced in Daniel’s world like she belonged there. I knew Daniel’s schedule like a prayer; on a Tuesday afternoon, he was buried in board meetings at the Schmidt Tower, miles away from the silent walls of his mansion. He wouldn't be there to shield her. He wouldn't be there to lie for her.I stepped out of my car, smoothing my designer skirt. The security at the gate had been surprisingly lax—or perhaps they had simply been told to let the "ghost" in. I walked through the foyer, my heels clicking sharply against the marble. The house felt empty, draped in a heavy, expensive silence that made the hair on my arms stand up. I checked the parlor, the dining room, and Daniel’s study. Nothing.I followed the trail of discarded clothes toward the rear of the house, where the floor-to-ceili

  • Taken by my stepfathers   The City in Flames

    Daniel’s POVThe silence in the garage was more violent than any scream. I stood staring at the empty space where the black sedan should have been, the cold air of the underground level biting through my shirt. My heart wasn’t racing; it had slowed to a lethal thud.Fourteen days. We had spent fourteen days maintaining a wall of discipline that would have broken a lesser family. We had starved her, tested her, and finally reclaimed her in a night of unified possession that should have anchored her to this house forever. And yet, the moment our eyes were turned, she had vanished."The GPS is scrambled," Silas roared, his voice echoing off the concrete walls as he slammed his fist into the hood of the SUV next to him. His face was a mask of pure, unadulterated rage. "She took the keys from the valet box. She’s been gone for nearly ninety minutes. If she’s at a private airfield, she’s already out of the state.""She isn't at an airfield," I said, my voice a low vibration. "Eden doesn't r

  • Taken by my stepfathers   Does the boys knows you are Lilian's daughter?

    Eden’s POVThe house helper had left a simple black dress in the bathroom for me. After I showered, I put it on and followed her to the dining room. I found Daddy already seated at the head of a long, dark wood table. There were no candles, no flowers—just two plates and the silence of a man who didn't feel the need to fill the air with noise.He looked at me as I sat down, and the intensity of his gaze was physical. I felt like I was being watched by a hawk, his eyes cataloging every movement, every shift in my posture. He didn't offer a greeting. He didn't pull out my chair. He simply waited for me to settle into the space he had provided."Does the boys know you are Lilian's daughter?" he asked.The question hit me like a physical blow. I froze, my hand hovering over the napkin. The only people who knew the truth were Daniel, Silas, and Luca. I had been careful to keep that part of my history buried, knowing how deep the resentments in this family could run. I hadn't expected the h

  • Taken by my stepfathers   Do I know what I want?

    Eden’s POVThe door to Daniel’s study closed behind me with a soft click, but the weight of that sound followed me down the hallway like something much louder had just been sealed shut, like a decision had been placed on the table and left there waiting for me to either claim it or run from it.I d

    Eden’s POVBy the time I stepped out of the bath, the house felt different. Not quiet in the way it used to feel when Lilian lived here, where silence had weight and teeth and always felt like it was waiting for someone to make a mistake, but quiet in a softer way, like the house itself had finally
