Jaxon

The weekend felt wrong from the moment the call dropped.

One second Sienna was whispering something soft—

something that sounded like “I miss you.”

Then suddenly—

Her dad’s voice blasted through the speaker.

“Who are you talking to?”

Then the line went dead.

Just gone.

Cut clean.

Like scissors slicing through a wire.

I stared at my phone for a full minute after the disconnect screen flashed. My hand was frozen in place, thumb still hovering over the side of the phone like I could force the call back alive if I held it right.

“What the hell just happened?” I whispered to myself.

The room felt too quiet. Too still. Too dark. My heart had started pounding fast enough to hurt.

I tried calling again.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

Nothing.

Straight to voicemail.

I sat back against the headboard, gripping my phone with both hands. I tried to breathe, but the whole thing replayed in my head over and over:

Her soft voice.

Her dad shouting.

The panic in her silence.

“God… Sienna…”

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 195: The Complication I Didn’t Ask For

    SiennaKendra walked me to my locker like she was escorting a witness into a crime scene.“Do you realize what just happened?” she whispered, eyes wild. “Do you UNDERSTAND? Because I don’t think you do.”I shoved my books inside my locker. “Kendra—”“Sienna, that boy said he MISSED YOU FOR YEARS.” She clutched my arm. “Years. Plural. As in… he spent all that time thinking about tiny middle-school you with braces and too-big sweatshirts.”I groaned. “Oh my God, can you stop? Please?”“No. Because JAXON IS GOING TO KILL HIM.”My heart stuttered.I hated how one name could flip my entire world.Jaxon.My boyfriend.My stepbrother.My everything.The thought of him hit my chest so hard I actually had to breathe through it.Kendra saw my face and immediately softened. “Hey… hey, relax. I’m joking.”“No, you’re not,” I muttered.Because she wasn’t.Jaxon wasn’t the jealous, controlling type — thank God — but he was protective in a way that could be… intense. And Liam showing up out of nowhe

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 194: My Childhood Crush

    SiennaMum dropped me off at school, giving me one of those soft smiles that always makes me feel like a little kid again.“You’ll be fine,” she said, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.I nodded, even though I wasn’t sure what exactly I needed to be “fine” about.The moment I stepped out of the car, I spotted Kendra waiting like she owned the entire walkway. Arms crossed. Foot tapping. Eyes locked on me like she had been rehearsing something to say.“There you are,” she said, grabbing my arm left and right. Before I could even breathe, she linked our arms together and dragged me into the school. “Madam, how was your night after your romantic movie-scene moment with Jaxon?”I groaned. “Kendra, stop.”“No,” she said, completely serious. “Because the way that boy was staring at you yesterday? Girl, he looked like he was about to devour you raw.”“Kendra!” I practically whispered-shouted.She didn’t care. Obviously.“And don’t pretend you didn’t like it,” she added, raising her brows

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 193: Morning Smiles and Quiet Calls

    SiennaMy phone buzzed almost instantly after I sent the ridiculous “babies” message.I covered my face with my pillow, already cringing-laughing at myself.Then his reply came through:Jaxon: Babies?? 😂😂 Wow. Straight to the final boss level, huh?I giggled, biting my lip.Jaxon: You sure you can handle mini versions of me running around? They’ll break your house.I replied fast:Sienna: I’ll return them to sender.He sent a row of laughing emojis.Jaxon: Too late. I already like the idea.My stomach flipped. I kicked my feet under my blanket.Sienna: Goodnight, crazy person.Jaxon: Goodnight, future baby mama.I screamed into my pillow — quietly — then tossed my phone aside and buried myself under my sheets, smiling like someone who had inhaled too much happiness.Eventually, I drifted off.Warm. Full. Safe.Sunlight slipped through my curtains, soft and warm on my face when I woke up the next morning. I stretched, still smiling from the night before.For the first time in weeks,

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 192: Blushing in the Rain

    SiennaAfter we cleaned up and dressed up, Jaxon drove me home slowly, the rain still tapping gently on the windshield. The car smelled faintly of his cologne and the wet leather seats, and I could feel my cheeks heating every time he glanced at me, the corner of his lips twitching into that soft, knowing smile.When we pulled up in front of my house, I fumbled with my seatbelt, blushing from how hot the two rounds of sex we just had was, I could still feel how hard his dick was going in and out of my pussy. He looked over at me, eyes dark and teasing. “You okay?”I nodded, trying to play it cool, but my lips betrayed me with a small, nervous smile.“Yeah… I’m fine,” I mumbled.He laughed softly, low and warm, and reached over to squeeze my hand before I opened the door. “Text me when you get inside safely.”I nodded again, heart racing. “I will.”I got out and waved at him. The way he looked at me in the rearview mirror made my stomach flip again. And then, just like that, he drove

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 191: Hot sex in Jaxon’s Car

    SiennaI swallowed hard, my pulse racing, and nodded slightly.“Yes,” I whispered. “I want you.”The corners of his lips curved into a soft, almost relieved smile. His hand reached gently for mine, intertwining our fingers. The car felt smaller, warmer, the air around us charged with something that made my heart hammer in my chest.For a moment, we just stayed like that — silent, holding onto each other, letting the tension stretch between us.Then, almost suddenly, the sky shifted.The soft golden light of the late afternoon dimmed. Clouds rolled in, thick and low. Within seconds, the first drops of rain tapped against the windshield, then quickly grew heavier, drumming across the roof of the car.Jaxon’s gaze flicked to the windows, then back to me. He smiled, a mix of amusement and awe.“Well,” he murmured, “I guess the universe likes drama as much as we do.”I laughed softly, a breathless, shaky sound, letting him pull me a little closer. The rain painted the field outside in stre

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 190: A Different Monday

    SiennaMonday came too fast.I barely slept the night before. My mind kept replaying everything — my dad’s face, my mum’s gentle voice, Lena being mentioned, the ache in my chest, and Jaxon’s soft words in that voice note.But when I stepped into school, something felt… different.People weren’t staring at me the same way.They weren’t whispering with hostility.They were whispering with pity. Concern. Curiosity.A group of girls from my English class stopped talking the moment they saw me — not to glare, but to soften.“That’s her…” one of them muttered.“Her ex was the one stalking her.”“God, that’s scary.”“She didn’t deserve that.”“She’s been going through so much.”A boy from my chemistry class gave me a small nod, like a quiet “stay strong.”Another girl gently touched my arm in the hallway. “I’m really sorry about everything, Sienna.”It was subtle, but it was real.The story had shifted.The narrative had changed.I wasn’t the villain anymore.I was the girl who had been hur
