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?”

The Love of a Stepbrother Chapter 44
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

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

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
