He looked at me.

“Why do you think your father planted roots that deep?”

He blinked slightly, caught off guard.

“I just told you” he answered

“No.” I shook my head. “That is what you assumed, but what if you’re wrong?”

He frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”

I leaned forward. My voice is calm but firm. “What if your father didn’t do all of this for structure? What if he didn’t do it just to grow power? What if…” I paused watching Mason’s expression carefully.

“ He did it as a weapon?”

    The room went still, dead still. Now they were no longer hiding, the message was very clear. I felt something shift inside me.Something cold, sharp and controlled. Slowly I reached for the file on the table. The one Letty had pointed out earlier.And this time, I didn’t hesitate.“Mason,” Lucas said carefully.I looked up at him. “They just made a mistake,” I said quietly.Letty’s eyes met mine and she understood immediately.“You’re going to cut it,” she said.I shook my head once.“No.”Then I opened the file. “I’m going to end it and show them why they don’t have any more options, they have to know that the Wells cannot be touched ”I looked between them, Lucas and Letty.“They could have kept this business still running .”My voice was calm. “They could have taken the loss, they could have walked away without taking much lost”I closed the file slowly. “But they didn’t want that”Letty stepped closer, her voice softer now.“Mason…”I looked at her.“They mentioned my family.” I

  • The Father Of My Child Is My Stepbrother   Chapter 74

    Mason’s povThe thing about silent wars is that they don’t stay silent forever. At some point, someone starts asking the right questions.And when they do, you either already have the answer or you become the answer.By the third week after going through with some of my plans, the damage was no longer subtle.It was controlled though but it was still visible. It had weight now and it also had presence.People could feel it even if they couldn’t explain it.I stood in the study, staring at the updated reports spread across the table.Their numbers are dropping, their delays increasing as internal conflicts start to rise.They had put me through a lot and now it was their turn to suffer exactly as planned.Every line, every movement and every reaction had all followed the path I had already seen in my head but that didn’t mean I relaxed because plans were only perfect until someone unexpectedly moved.Lucas walked in after leaving a small knock on the door as usual.“They had an emergen

    Mason’s povI didn’t move immediately. Even after everything Letty said, even after I saw it clear as day for the first time…I didn’t rush because rushing was how you lost wars like this.I had spent years learning how to fight with force, making quick decisions and immediate retaliation.Power that demanded attention.The kind of power that made enemies step back before you even touched them.That was the kind of man I had become, that was the kind of leader people expected.But this? This was different. This wasn’t about who struck first. It wasn’t about who had the biggest force.This was about who understood the board better, about who saw further, who moved quieter and now for the first time I did.I sat in my study long after Letty had gone back to sleep that night.The house was too quiet, the kind of silence that made every thought louder.The files were open in front of me consisting of stacks of paper, with different names, numbers and connections.But I wasn’t reading anym

My voice is calm but firm. “What if your father didn’t do all of this for structure? What if he didn’t do it just to grow power? What if…” I paused watching Mason’s expression carefully.“ He did it as a weapon?”There was silence. A heavy and still one.Mason didn’t move, didn’t speak. He just stared at me, like he was seeing something he hadn’t seen before.“What are you saying?” he asked quietly.“I’m saying” I exhaled slowly. “You’ve been looking at this the wrong way.”His eyes narrowed slightly.“Explain.”I nodded.“You said it yourself, your father planted roots everywhere, even within enemy organizations.”“Yes.” Mason answered “And you said if those roots were cut, It would affect everything.”“Yes.”

    After I refused to leave…After I stood there and told Mason I wasn’t going anywhere…Something changed, not just in him but also in me. At first, I thought it would feel like victory.Like I had proven something, like I had secured my place beside him no matter what, but that wasn’t what settled in my chest.What I felt instead was responsibility. It was heavy, quiet and unavoidable because I had made a choice.I had decided not just to stay doing nothing but to stand and standing beside a man like Mason Wells in the middle of a war meant becoming more than just the woman he loved.It meant becoming someone who could survive it.The days that followed, at first nothing looked different but everything felt different.Mason accepted my decision to stay beside him, he didn’t argue again.He didn’t try to convince me to leave again but I could see it in him. In the way his shoulders stayed tense even when he tried to relax.In the way his eyes lingered on me a second too long whenever I

  • The Father Of My Child Is My Stepbrother   Chapter 70

    Mason’s povThe accident that had just been reported stayed in my mind long after the report ended.Even after Lucas left the room and even after Letty returned upstairs to rest.I remained in the study alone as the silence inside the room felt too heavy because the more I thought about the accident, the worse it looked.The car didn’t just crash randomly. Cars don’t simply “lose control” on clear roads, at least not without a reason which was either a mechanical failure, driver error or sabotage.And the more I replayed the timeline in my head, the clearer one truth became.That accident had come too close.Too close.If I had not insisted that Letty stay home that morning, if she had followed her normal routine, if she had simply walked into that car beside her driver.She would have been in that crash. My hand slowly tightened into a fist on the desk.A deep anger settled inside my chest and then another thought came.One that made the anger colder and more dangerous. What if the a

    Vincent’s POVI drove Letty back to the mansion in silence.Not the heavy kind of silence that came from anger or distance. This one was careful. The kind where every word felt dangerous, like one wrong sentence could pull something loose that neither of us was ready to face. The car lights cut th

    Letty’s POVThe warning came quietly.Not with alarms. Not with shouting. Not with anything that demanded attention.It slipped into my day like it belonged there, wrapped in routine and dressed as normal work. The kind of danger that waits for you to blink, to trust too easily, to assume you are s

    Letty’s POVToday was the day.I stood in front of the mirror longer than usual, adjusting my blouse for the fifth time, smoothing imaginary wrinkles that weren’t really there. I tilted my head, then straightened it again. I checked my hair, then my face, then my posture. I took a deep breath I di

    Letty POVThe days that followed felt unreal, like I had stepped into a life I once only imagined quietly before sleep.Every morning, when I woke up, I lay still for a few seconds just to make sure it was real. The soft sheets, the large room and the silence that came from space, not loneliness. I
