Lahat ng Kabanata ng NINE MONTH WITH MY STEPBROTHER: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Chapter 32 ----Lexi---- I have been called all sorts of names ranging from coward, and weak to being a nobody. Many times have I been branded with things that don't fit me but I didn't give a damn nor did I pay attention to them because I know I am a lot of things except being a coward and a weak person. But today, I feel like the weakest being on earth as I find myself standing in front of the ABM entrance door. I know I told Aziz I'd send him a text so he could come to meet me where the marriage registration is supposed to hold but I couldn't help myself. After watching his car leave and getting inside last night, I couldn't get him off of my mind. It didn't help that he was cool with registering our marriage just because it is what I want and the fact that he wanted to know if there were other things I wanted in a relationship but wasn't privileged to have because my exes didn't think I was worthy of it. My thoughts have been all over the place since I woke up this morning. Whe

Chapter 34 ----Author's POV---- Bianca's eyes fluttered open to the gentle caress of sunlight filtering through the curtains. The morning sun peeked through the window, casting intricate patterns across the walls and floor. Its warmth kissed her skin, gently coaxing her back to consciousness. With a sleepy sigh, she tried to nestle deeper into the pillows and sleep some more but for her to discover there was no pillow next to her like it had always been every morning she wakes in her bed. In place of the missing pillow was something so hard and unmoving. She trailed her hand lower only to realize was she was groping was the unmistakable body of a man. Man? How did a man get into her room? The room slowly came into focus as Bianca's senses stirred awake. A soft glow enveloped the space, casting a gentle radiance upon the tangled sheets. With a faint sigh, she blinked away the remnants of sleep and sat up straight. She looked around at the room that was almost empty if not for the

Chapter 36Aziz's eyes dilated as soon as the words left my lips, his eyes shone with his intention. I knew at that moment that the intensity of the desire we both felt was all-consuming. His hands tightened around me, bringing my body even closer to his.I could feel every inch of his hard thigh muscles pressed against my soft pliant ones and the solid wall of his chest under my palm. My breaths became unsteady and I found I could hardly breathe at all. This was my dream all night long, to have his wickedly sinful mouth sliding over mine, teasing me where my desire was at its peak and that fantasy was about to turn real.My heart clattered against my ribcage as I stared into the beautiful face of the man holding me captive in his embrace, he fascinated me from the instant I saw him in that elevator, and even though my brain kept advising me to apply caution, the maelstrom of desire that unfurls in me every time I’m in a proximity with him won over the logical part of me.Knocked by th

Chapter 38As the dimly lit restaurant buzzed with conversation, Betty smoothed her pencil skirt and shuffled on her chair nervously. She glanced at her watch for the umpteenth time, her heart racing with anticipation and anxiety. The three men in front of her were almost down with their meal and their boss was yet to walk in.Just as she was about to lose herself in worry, the door swung open, and in walked a dark-suited man who would be around 6’2. He looked out of place in the large space and exuded an air of power and confidence.Betty's pulse quickened, she knew it was him, the boss and her suspicion was confirmed by the men sitting with her. They stopped eating and got to their feet. The one she had assumed was the leader scurried toward the man who just walked in, so she squared her shoulders and approached him with a polite smile.‘Good evening, Mr Petrov. Thank you for joining us,’ she said, gesturing toward the reserved table she had booked.He barely acknowledged her but exc

Chapter 40----- Aziz -----True to her words, Lexi sent the address of the registry and the time they had given her so here I sat at a small café just around the corner of Fifth Nord in Villeston, staring at the cloudless sky. The sun was sharp, casting long shadows on the buildings around me, the crisp morning air filling my lungs with each breath that I took.I glanced at my watch and then at the entrance of the café where I had asked Lexi to meet me since she insisted not to come pick her up. My fingers drummed against my thigh as I scanned the street for her familiar figure.Even though the bustling city of Villeston was waking up, and the streets were filled with a mix of tourists and locals all going about their day, I knew finding Lexi among the crowd would be a piece of cake. She is like a diamond in the rough, easy to spot and distinguish.Just then my eyes caught sight of Lexi stepping out of her car, her honey-brown hair catching the sunlight, her stride confident and grace
