Margaret's POV

I sat quietly by the edge of her bed, watching her breathe calmly. The doctor had come in earlier, telling me I had nothing to worry about, and when she woke up, they'd let me know. But I remained adamant. I didn't feel the need to leave, not until I had seen her wake up.

I knew my daughter—she was a strong, driven, brilliant woman who wouldn't take the easy way out, which meant working harder for the right thing.

But sometimes, when she went to the extreme to achieve those dreams, my heart just couldn't handle it.

I closed my eyes briefly, reliving the shock I experienced the moment she'd slumped to the floor.

Just a few hours ago, I had been ecstatic that she was eating again, after her talk with Aaron.

I almost believed that this was a turning point for her, but who would have known that the moment I turned my back, she would dive back into her work, ignoring my warnings and Aaron's words.

If Aaron hadn't arrived the moment he did, helping her to the couch and callin

  • The Boss I Shouldn't Want, Now My Stepbrother    Chapter 168

    Rhysand's POVThe headlines were relentless."CEO Rhysand Warner in Relationship With Stepsister Bridgette Hayes—Scandal or Love Story?""Forbidden Love Wins: Investors React to Corporate Royalty Romance."It didn't matter where I turned. Newspapers, blogs, press releases, and social media platforms all carried our story.Some treated it like a tragic soap opera. Others labeled it revolutionary. Either way, our names were on every screen, in every tabloid—and I'd never been prouder to have Bridgette's name beside mine.Aaron had kept his word; he'd stepped up for me during the time I had gone chasing Bridgette, but the moment I arrived, he stepped down.After making sure we were both happy, he and Margaret stayed for the announcement of our relationship before heading off on a 90-day cruise around the world."You had your vacation with your boo; it's time I had mine," Aaron had grumbled when I demanded he stay a bit longer."Besides, you have Bridgette by your side. The company is in

    Bridgette's POVRhysand acted like a cactus—prickly, persistent, and impossible to ignore.No matter how many times I pushed him away, no matter how harsh my words or how cold my expression, he kept coming back. Like a desert bloom chasing sunlight, he seemed to thrive on my rejections.I had no idea how he'd found me, but it probably had to do with my mother and Aaron.I'd seen their missed calls, but I'd been too swamped with sightseeing to notice, and when I had, it had been too late.Rhysand had arrived, staying opposite my room. As though by magic, he matched his itinerary to mine. His presence was ever-present wherever I went. At first, I found him annoying, but slowly, past feelings began to grow.I knew I'd told myself never to give in to him, to let my heart decide, but his steady begging slowly eroded through my walled-up emotions.I even lied—told him I was seeing someone else. I invented a fictional man on the spot at a café when he showed up uninvited, yet again. But Rhys

    Aaron's POVI sat at the edge of my desk, fingers clenched so tightly they turned white. The air in my study had grown heavier since Rhysand dropped that bomb. My son. In love with Bridgette. My stepdaughter. His stepsister.What kind of madness was this?I couldn't even meet Margaret's eyes when she stormed into the room earlier demanding we talk to him. I knew she was right, but I needed a moment—just a moment—to make sense of it all. I never imagined this even in my wildest, most twisted dreams.Bridgette had been with us for years. I'd watched her grow, watched her blossom, and I took pride in being her father. A father. Not just by marriage. I treated her like my own blood.So to hear that my son had crossed that boundary, I couldn't breathe.I finally looked up when Rhysand walked into the room. He wasn't his usual confident self. His shoulders were slouched, his eyes distant. It was like he had aged in the span of a few days. But that didn't soften me."Sit," I ordered, my voic

  • The Boss I Shouldn't Want, Now My Stepbrother    Chapter 165

    Rhysand's POVI slammed the front door harder than I meant to, the echo ricocheting off the walls of the mansion like a warning bell. My heart was thudding, not from the long drive home, but from the cold words Bridgette had thrown at me right before she disappeared—"I've submitted my resignation."I hadn't believed it at first. Not fully. Bridgette could be impulsive, yes, but this wasn't some childish tantrum—this was serious. Too serious. And the fact that she hadn't even looked back as she walked out of that building made it all too real.I stormed into the living room and found both my parents seated on the couch—Dad with a paper in hand and Mom sipping on her late evening tea like it was just another peaceful day in our lives."She resigned," I blurted, my voice raw with disbelief. "Bridgette resigned."Dad's gaze flicked up from the paper, calm as ever. "Yes. We know."My breath hitched. "You what?"Margaret placed her teacup down with infuriating grace and gave me a small smil

    Rhysand's POVMy restless movements were reflected on the polished floor of my spacious office. Anxiety and frustration were racing through my head. Bridgette.I had tried to talk to her for days, but she was always giving me a cold shoulder or a cold dismissal. I even tried calling or texting and dropping by her office, but her assistant, Jennie, would always tell me that she was in a meeting.I walked out of my office. "Jennie!" I yelled, my voice resonating a bit too loudly through the silent corridor.Jennie looked up from her desk. "Mr. Rhysand?""I need to see Bridgette," I said in an impatient tone. "Right now."Jennie paused, her eyes darting to the closed office door. "Sir, Bridgette is extremely busy. She has a ton of contracts to review before the end of the day."With my hands resting on Jennie's desk, I leaned forward. "Listen to me, Jennie. I'll fire you if you stop me from seeing Bridgette again. Do you understand?"Jennie's face went pale with fear and her eyes grew wi

    Bridgette's POVTessa and I drove to work. Tessa sat in the front of the car, steering through traffic like a pro.The streets were covered in long shadows as the morning sun began to stretch across the city. Tessa talked about a new exercise class that she was interested in.Every other second, I gave a short nod and a mumble, but my thoughts were far away, struggling with the secret that weighed heavily on my chest.Tessa caught my eye. How many times had I avoided her questions or just changed the topic when Tessa asked me about my romantic life? There was a tiny hopeful part of me that wanted to just tell her everything, to reveal to Tessa that I was the secret someone Rhysand was seeing—that it was, until he broke my heart and dragged me through the mud.But a chilling fear snuffed out the thought, the anxiety that comes with being called a freak, with seeing Tessa's eyes light up with shock and then judgment. I didn't think I could bear it if one more person judged me for my cho
