There were bound to be many articles published about them, about their peculiar relationship — at the heart of which they were stepsbilings.

The Love of a Stepbrother Chapter 46
Simone was having a restless night, and she found it hard to keep still in bed, even though she wished she wouldn’t wake William.There were so many things to consider. She recalled the picture on her bedside table, and also the envelope in which there was no doubt some kind of message — which William didn’t share with her — and the shivers running down her spine made her still.She recalled how unsafe she had felt, how scared the mere sight of something as simple as a picture made her… But also, she wondered what the stalker had been up to in her apartment. Had he touched any of her things? He could have violated her space in more ways than one, multiple times, and she would have been none the wiser, had he not decided to leave a trace this time around.Thankfully, she was wearing one of the pj’s she left behind at Will’s place… Otherwise, she would have tried her damnes

The set of keys Mrs Atkins had was nowhere in sight, and that explained her shock but also her frightened face.While William sported a grim expression, Simone tried to reassure her, “You might have just misplaced them, Mrs Atkins.”“I never did… I never moved them,” she shook her head in what appeared to be desperation.“When was the last time you saw them around?” William asked matter-of-factly.“I don’t know,” the woman looked on the verge of tears, and Simone shot her beloved William a look. “They’re always here.”The warning didn’t seem to register with him, for he didn’t hesitate to press on, “Who else has access to your home?”“Nobody,” she spilled a few tears. “nobody…”“Think,” he insisted, despite t

When William returned with the police to ask Simone some preliminary questions, she had calmed down a bit.Her eyes met William’s, and he didn’t hesitate to sit next to her, draping an arm around her shoulders in a manner so comforting, she almost melted, whereas the police officer remained standing.“It is unfortunate what happened to you, Ms Prescott,” he began politely, and Simone understood at once that having William’s backing made all the difference.She let out a noncommittal sound in response as she averted her gaze and sighed.“Can you tell us exactly what happened?”“I have been harassed for nearly a year and a half now, on and off,” she admitted sotto voce, and felt William stiffen from where he sat, next to her. “It started with sweet nothings that I thought nothing of it at first, thinking it was some prank.

It took Simone a moment before she regained some common sense. And then, she sprang into action, backing out of her room, and calling William before anyone else — because a part of her didn’t trust the police not to dismiss her worries again.He picked up on the second ring, and his tone of voice was gentle, light, and full of teasing as he said, “Missed me already, Angel?”“Please come get me,” she was on the verge of tears.And it must have sounded like she was about to get hysterical soon, and William must have sensed her urgency, for he didn’t hesitate to ask, “What’s wrong, Simone? Talk to me.”The use of her given name said a lot. He was serious about this.“He broke into my place,” she told him, sniffling, because she didn’t know how else to react to the way he handled her, even though she was about to become

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

There was nothing Simone could do that day to get the hateful comments out of her head. She shouldn’t care about what strangers thought of her — she absolutely should not — but a part of her was still hurt. And despite William’s reassurance, she feared that this scandal mi

The magic began to fade away all too soon.The following day, William’s chief of PR team called him before he even left his place, together with his precious Simone.“Good morning, Mr Stone,” he greeted tersely. “Sorry to call you so early, but I felt like I should warn you against the reporters wa

It was Sunday morning when William received a call from his uncle. He naturally expected a good berating, and maybe some lamenting too… And he knew his uncle would deliver, given the chance.“How could you ruin everything your father worked for?” He bellowe

As Simone and William left the restaurant, she turned to him, eyes full of reprimand, “Don’t think you’re off the hook just yet. Unless you straighten things up with the Black family, you are not touching me.”William nodded at her in earnest, not even
