2026-04-24 16:05:37William was a businessman through and through, and he could see that his partner’s daughter in Colorado was going to be a pain in the damned as*s.
She was at the meeting as the head of their marketing department.
Her input was always concise and to the point, and he could tell that she wasn’t there just for show. Nevertheless, the way she eyed him rubbed him off the wrong way for some reason, and he wasn’t one to dismiss his instinct

The Love of a Stepbrother Chapter 60
Conquering one’s fear could be sweetly gratifying… Sadly, Simone wasn’t quite there yet. Indeed, the moment cameras flashed, she became stiff, and her smile became rigid. She didn’t know what to do, or what to say, to avoid making trouble for her beloved… But then again, the paparazzi were not there for her.“Rumor has it that your take-over of the Patera group was nothing short of sensational,” one of them dared to chance a question, despite the subtle frown on William’s face. “Anything to say about that, Mr Stone?”William merely kept Simone to his side, and soon brought her into the safety of the car, with the help of his security detail, who shielded them away from the cameras, and also from the intrusive questions which were fired one after the other.“Are you okay, Angel?” William asked in a soft voice, as he looked down at her, his eyes as t

By 5 pm, the contract had been signed, and a copy was sent to William’s email.Although Simone trusted William to the moon and back, she still had her doubts. Indeed the short meeting with the Pateras didn’t feel like any kind of negotiations, rather like some hostile take-over.And because of the Pateras’ greed and scheming, they ended up losing everything. But that’s how major bets were. Bound to gain lots, might lose everything in the process.“You did it!” She cheered William in a soft tone of voice, as she showed him the signed contract.“We did it, Angel,” he shot back, an easy smile on his face, while he put emphasis on the we part.“We did,” she nodded eagerly.“You should be focused on your shopping though, not your professional phone,” William let out in a tone of soft chiding.“I couldn&rsquo

Upon waking up the next day, Simone looked at the mess that had become of the suite, and knew without even needing to be told that there would be extra fees.She found William at his laptop a few feet away from her. One groan from her was all it took for him to stop looking at said laptop.“Hello, sleepyhead,” he teased with an easy smirk, his eyes glinting with mischief.“You wrecked me yesterday,” she let out in a tone of complaint. “I don’t think I can move.”“I can help you into the bathroom, Angel, if that’s…”“Not going to fall for that one again,” she cut in, giving him a bored albeit pointed look.He chuckled before saying, “Who would ever think you were a resentful woman?”“I didn’t think I was one to hold grudges either, but it is what it is,” she s

William could barely believe how lucky he had been. He knew that if that damned Patera trust fund baby had gotten to his room, it would have been a pure disaster for him. Thankfully, the receptionist had been quick-witted enough to send her away without offending her.And to further add to his luck, Chloe Patera’s face was clearly visible on the footage given to Rafael.“You did a great job,” William praised his beloved Simone, as he hugged her to him in the car that was leading them to the hotel.“I acted on instincts alone,” she admitted in a hushed tone of voice.“Well, your instincts are spot on, Angel,” he told her softly.He soon claimed her lips in a soft loving kiss, to which she moaned… but then, his phone rang, disturbing them, and bursting the passionate bubble they were in.“Answer it, Will,” she whispered against

Within a couple of hours, William was no longer feverish, and was far more responsive according to the doctors, though he had yet to wake up…. But it was progress and Simone was glad to be a part of it.She remained by his side, and Paul replaced Rafael, who had gone to assist with getting the incriminating footage that could later be used against the Patera group. She also didn't fail to update Kevin regarding William’s state. And after doing so, she couldn’t help but ask, “What do you think the Pateras are trying to accomplish?”There was a pause before Kevin explained succinctly, “If nothing’s done, their business is bound to meet an unsavory end soon – very soon.”“You’re telling me they drugged William to save their business?”“Frankly speaking, Chloe Patera had her eyes set on Mr Stone for some time already. It is a

Upon entering William’s suite, Simone could see at once that he appeared to be sleeping soundly — too soundly. Knowing that he was a light sleeper made it even more worrisome.“Mr Stone is burning up,” Rafael declared at the sight of her. “I have already called for an ambulance.”“I’ll go with him,” she said, tears gathering in her eyes, as she thought of the worst. Rafael merely nodded in understanding.The manager, who trailed behind, appeared so conflicted at the sight of his precious guest in such a state.“The woman who came, claiming she’s his girlfriend,” Simone let out as she angrily wiped her errand tears, and approached the bed on barely steady steps.Rafael looked at her intently, his eyebrow rising being the sole indication that this was something that didn’t sit well with him.&ldquo

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
The Love of a Stepbrother Chapter 17
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
