“He said he still loves Olivia…” Sophia sobbed, unable to stop the fresh wave of tears that had been pouring out of her since the confrontation with Julian.

Her eyes and nose were red and swollen, clear signs of the deep heartbreak she was suffering. “It hurts. It hurts so much. I love him…” She buried her face on the bed, trying unsuccessfully to muffle her sobs, but they kept escaping.

All she could think about were the moments she and Julian had shared. His smile, the way he held her tightl

  • The Stepbrother I Crave    Chapter 84: Mine forever

    After the heartfelt toasts, the grand dinner, and their enchanting first dance, the moment arrived for the traditional bouquet toss. Friends and couples gathered eagerly, including Maya’s close friend who waited patiently in line. Sophia watched them laugh and chatter with bright, excited faces.The first dance between Maya and Arthur had been nothing short of magical. They looked radiant, leaving everyone in awe. Their speeches later moved the entire room to tears. They truly were perfect together, almost beyond words.Sophia and Julian had shared their own dance, and by then it seemed everyone knew about their relationship even though they had not announced it. People could sense the change and see it clearly. It felt liberating to kiss him openly in front of everyone, to claim him as hers without any shadows of secrecy.Love could never truly be forbidden.Sophia chuckled as she observed how eagerly some of Maya’s friends competed for position in the line. They seemed desperate to

    Soft music filled the air as Maya glided elegantly down the aisle. The venue lights had been lowered, making the flowers glow with a magical shimmer under the gentle illumination. A profound silence fell over the guests as the soulful notes of a violin echoed through the space. At the altar, Arthur stood waiting, with Julian beside him.Sophia had the honor of escorting Maya down the aisle. She kept a steady smile as she walked beside her, occasionally glancing at Arthur. His face showed pure wonder, as though Maya were a vision materializing before him. She truly was his dream, and Sophia felt overwhelming joy that they were finally getting this chance to build a life together.The way Arthur’s breath caught at his first clear sight of Maya was unmistakable.This wedding felt historic.Tears gradually formed in Arthur’s eyes. Watching Maya, Sophia found it harder to hold back her own. She hadn’t wanted to cry, but the moment was too moving. The two people she cherished most were un

  • The Stepbrother I Crave    chapter 82: Doubt

    Julian tried to suppress another yawn as Arthur glanced at him with a curious expression. The tailors were still making final adjustments to Arthur’s suit.Even though he and Sophia were now officially together, Julian knew better than to reveal the real reason for his exhaustion. If he did, Arthur might forget all about his upcoming wedding and pummel him instead. Besides, he had learned the hard way that Arthur’s punches carried serious force. Though from the looks of it, Julian’s own hits had left a mark—the makeup artist was carefully trying to conceal a reddish bruise on Arthur’s jaw.“It’s nothing. I just didn’t sleep much,” Julian shrugged, forcing a laugh as he straightened his own jacket.“You’d better not be caught yawning in the ceremony videos. I don’t need a sleepy man ruining everything,” Arthur warned with a scoff.Julian rolled his eyes at the older man’s dramatics. “Relax, I won’t spoil your big day.”A brief silence settled between them while the stylists worked.

    Sophia let out a sharp gasp as she stood before the mirror. Her entire neck was marked with his passionate imprints, clearly visible. This man..."This is completely unfair, Julian!" she complained, studying the marks while her fingers traced over them. They did not sting, yet the situation still felt unjust. "The wedding is tomorrow, and you've left these all over my neck. It's going to take ages to conceal them."Julian rolled onto his stomach on the bed, gazing at her with clear satisfaction—he wore a proud expression over his creation. As she observed him, she could not look away.The sheets partially draped his sculpted physique, leaving the other half exposed and offering an excellent view of his firm backside. Sunlight poured through the open curtains, gently highlighting his form. His jaw appeared even more defined from this perspective, and his eyes sparkled like precious gems.The whole universe seemed to plot against her. Why else would every detail, including the warm glo

  • The Stepbrother I Crave    Chapter 80: Anything for you

    Julian wondered what on earth Arthur might be preparing to disclose—something that could shape the rest of his existence. The idea felt ridiculous, yet this exchange carried real weight, as long as Arthur refrained from lunging at him or unleashing a flood of accusations.He had every justification to react harshly, and Julian could only hope the man would choose restraint."Damn, I can't believe I'm actually going through with this," Arthur muttered with a heavy sigh. "I'll probably regret it soon enough."Julian stared at him, equally puzzled by the encounter. Arthur was behaving strangely.Arthur looked furious, without question, but the impending revelation did not appear tied directly to that rage. Julian struggled to capture the exact mood; Arthur seemed locked in an ongoing internal conflict while Julian sat opposite him, nursing a partially raised glass of rum.He wanted to drink the rum but remained uncertain whether the opportunity would come.Had Arthur shown any sign of pr

  • The Stepbrother I Crave    chapter 79: Am I dreaming?

    Julian stood watching Sophia, who remained frozen in shock, completely speechless. She simply stared at him, her mind clearly racing as she tried to determine whether this moment was real or some vivid illusion. It was undoubtedly real, yet he chose not to ease her uncertainty just yet.He hid his smile as she blinked once, then twice more. He understood her thoughts perfectly; right now, she probably believed her imagination was deceiving her.At that moment, he felt a strong urge to kiss her until her soft pink lips grew swollen, but he could not risk such a move with Arthur nearby. He still lacked full freedom to act as he wished with his girlfriend while her father was present. He had already calculated that it would require several more months."Am I dreaming?" she finally whispered. An instinctive grin spread across Julian's face. He leaned forward and pressed a gentle kiss to one soft cheek, then the other. They felt as delicate as rose petals."Do you still believe it's a dr

    Julian fixed his gaze on her, his voice steady and unyielding. “I could have done far worse to you than I actually did. I was fully capable of using you for much darker purposes, and you know it. So who is really at fault here? It wasn’t me who chased after you first, Sophia. You were the one who

    Sophia glared at Olivia with pure fury. “Don’t even think about raising your hand at me, Olivia,” she warned through clenched teeth, her eyes fixed on the other woman’s trembling fingers as they inched toward her reddened cheek. Olivia still seemed unable to process the slap she had just received

  • The Stepbrother I Crave    chapter 58: How dare you?

    A few moments ago, Sophia had been completely wrong to believe she could spend the entire day convincing herself that Julian no longer mattered. The plan had failed miserably. It had fallen apart faster than a lit matchstick in the wind. After only an hour of deep reflection, she could already fee

  • The Stepbrother I Crave    chapter 57: Regrets II

    The morning sun’s harsh rays streamed across Sophia’s face, rudely pulling her from the only moment of rest she had managed after last night’s painful ordeal. With a heavy groan, she forced herself to sit up, though she had no desire to leave her room. Even now, the evidence of her suffering was c
