He knew she was mostly worried about him, and the effect their relationship might have on his business, but he wanted to assure her that everything would be fine. Given time, the world shall come to accept them as a couple, stepsiblings or not… not that he cared much about what others might think. All he presently cared about was Simone herself, whom he wished wouldn’t try to run away from her feelings.

The reporters that were swarming the entrance to the underground parking lot of the company’s building were no joke. It was obvious that the press conference’s revelations had been nothing short of extraordinary.William, having thought ahead of time, had hired security detail for this very purpose. Before long, he and Simone were riding in the elevator up to their floor.His precious Simone was quiet — too quiet — and he wondered if he had rushed her for intimacy.He was just about to ask her a question or two, when she turned to him with a hesitant smile, “I really hope this won’t blow up out of proportion.”“It shouldn’t,” he assured her, shaking his head in a dismissive manner, “It is but a scandal among many to those vultures out there. It will die out soon enough. But thankfully, we managed to make sure the public knew exactly what to expect,

Simone and William were drunk on one another, half aware but completely uncaring of the storm brewing outside their bubble.There were bound to be many articles published about them, about their peculiar relationship — at the heart of which they were stepsbilings.The following morning soon came, bringing along hope, freedom, and love.“Morning, sleepy head,” William’s voice was gruff as he greeted Simone who had only just stirred.“Morning,” she grumbled, eyes still closed.“We cannot afford to miss work today, Angel,” he drawled as he placed a soft chaste kiss on her lips. “We cannot be seen as the couple who runs away from their problems.”His words had the knack to bring Simone to a state of total lucidity.“Naturally,” she agreed with him readily. “We have to face the judgmental whisp

William wasn’t surprised by his uncle’s phone call.“Have you gone crazy?” The man bellowed the moment he picked up.He was in the car with Simone, and the call was on speaker. He raised an eyebrow at the tone which didn’t sit well with him, but didn’t say a word just yet.“First you reject Nola Black for your precious Simone, and now you publicly announce that she’s not just your PA but also your stepsister? What’s the big plan?”“You’re going to pop a vein if you continue shouting,” William told him in his most blasé tone of voice.Simone had to stifle a laugh at that.“You’re going to be the end of the company,” he began to complain in a somewhat calmer tone of voice. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done? The stock price will drop… Did you think ev

The afternoon passed by in a blur, and before long it was time for the 6:30 pm press conference.Simone gave herself a mental pep talk before going up there. As long as she was with William, she knew she had nothing to fear. He had told her to allow him to do the talking, and she was naturally overjoyed with this decision.The moment the reporters were gathered and all were settled, William turned to her with a small smile, “Let’s go, Angel.”He was offering her his hand, and she was unsure if she was truly supposed to grab it.Because of his status, they had never held hands… Admittedly, it also had to do with the fact that they were stepsiblings. If possible, Simone would prefer not to stir trouble, but according to William, they needed to make sure they told their story first.“Trust me,” he said in a soft tone of voice.She nodded at him as a smile stretched h

Rooted in place, Simone watched as William rose to his feet, his eyes resolute but oh so tender. He closed the distance between them in a couple of strides, and then he embraced her in a tight hug, as if to never let go.Simone felt her heart try to beat its way out of her chest, while her breathing became erratic. Heavens have mercy, even her eyes stung with unshed tears. She was getting emotional over a mere hug… This was a new one for her.When William broke the hug, and was seemingly ready to delve for a prize that was absolutely his for the taking, he must have noticed her glassy eyes, for he stopped altogether.With a little bit of a frown, he asked, “Why the tears, Simone?”“Have you seen her?” She choked on the words.“Her? Her, who?”“Grace,” she rolled her eyes. “She’s so much better suited to you

Grace Smith was a woman Simone had never met but whom she couldn’t help but admire for who she was. The woman was not only a renowned top model but also William’s first woman that she knew of — from back when he was in college. Simone hadn’t met her per se, but had seen their pictures in some tabloids, and couldn’t resist looking her up afterwards.The mere name Grace Smith brought back so many memories — some of which were full of doubt and insecurities — that Simone didn’t know how to react when the receptionist called her, telling her in a hushed but formal tone of voice that William’s old flame was asking for a meeting with him.Simone felt like she got her breath knocked out of her for a moment there.Truth be told, Simone would rather not have to compete against anyone for William’s affection… but that was but an illusion, she knew that much.

In the end, Simone hadn’t dared to ask, although a few questions burnt her lips and haunted her all day.And before long, it was Friday afternoon. She was excited to be going to New Orleans, a place she had never visited, but also apprehensive of what this trip might mean for her blooming relations

William, who had done his best to give Simone a good massage, using the soft vanilla-scented lotion, was absolutely over the moon.He had only offered to give her a massage out of pure caring instinct… And yet, that soon developed into something else. She even gave him a kiss for the first time. He

When Simone left work that evening, at almost 8 pm, she was positively exhausted. Not only did the meeting run late, but it was also packed with people, whom she felt were looking at her more than usual. And that only served to make her uncomfortable, even though she would rather drink acid than sh

“Will, how about you lend me a shirt and a belt?” Simone went in search of him, after checking the outfits she had in the guest room, and none of which seemed fitting for a business setting.“The closet is all yours,” he said, even as he scrolled through the emails on his phone.“Oh hell no!” She c
