All Chapters of The Forbidden Step-Brother's Wild Desire: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Andreas’ POv"What is Vanessa doing right now?" I took my eyes off the glass wall of my room, staring at the phone screen in my hand.There didn't seem to be enough reason to call her since we were meeting this morning at home as usual. But I missed her voice. I wanted to see her and be with her.I clucked with a chuckle. "It's like Vanessa made me have an acute illness because of her." I wiped my face with my hand, fixing my eyes to stare at the figure I was addicted to.I had more than one picture of Vanessa that I had secretly taken without her knowing. This wasn't some weird tendency or sexual habit that she could misunderstand.The photos I took and kept in my gallery were of Vanessa's expressions and cute antics. Whenever I see that expression on her face, I always want to capture it.Vanessa rarely shows much expression when facing something. But without realizing it, in her daily life, she makes many different expressions when she is alone, and it is adorable."She's so pretty

Vanessa's POVThe smell of alcohol was strong on Andreas' breath. He looked at me with a smile and a small giggle and leaned against my shoulder."Andreas!" I growled in annoyance at the weight of his body leaning against me. "Get up, Andreas! You need to go up to your room." I tapped Andreas on the shoulder and tried to rouse him.But despite my efforts to wake him up, it seemed my efforts were in vain. Andreas didn't open his eyes even though he made a small mumble.I took a deep breath, realizing I was in trouble with that tall, muscle-bound body. "Or do I just leave him here until tomorrow?" I looked sarcastically at Andreas.The air was cold enough to hurt his body if I put him on the tiles. I didn't have the heart to just leave him there, though I wished I could be a little less cautious and leave him there.I fixed him position with a heavy sigh because it felt like I was training at the gym after a long time. "Alright, I'll help you up. But just this once, I'll let you be if th

Vanessa's 46"What happened, Vanessa?" Silvi looked at me with worry on her face. Although we rarely met, Silvi and I often shared news about the big decisions we made.It's just that, in the past year, I rarely told her because problems began to come to me one after another and made me tired. While Silvi is a person who is sensitive to the situation, just because my voice sounds a little different from usual, she will immediately realise that I'm not okay.I didn't want to worry her too much, so I decided not to say anything to her. It was hard being treated badly by Anne then, while Jaxon also started being cold towards me. I had no one to talk to about how miserable I was enduring everything in that house. I repeatedly assured myself that I would be fine, that everything would soon pass.At that time, I still thought that Jaxon liked me and that I still liked him. So I endured, even though it felt like every day I lost my mind because of Anne, who treated me not as her daughter-in-

Vanessa's POV"Do you have free time this afternoon, Vanessa?" Maria looked at me enthusiastically.After meeting up with Silvi before lunchtime, I had gone straight home, as there was nowhere else I wanted to go.When I got home, Maria asked me to sit in the living room with her. I complied because I was also bored in my room."This afternoon?" I asked, confirming it."Yes." She nodded in agreement.What did she want to say exactly? Why did Maria ask like she had something to do with me? "Yes, ma'am. I don't have anything to do this afternoon."Maria smiled. Her face looked excited. "Then, let's accompany mom to the afternoon tea." She took my hand.I stared at her silently for a moment, returning her smile but not immediately responding. "But I'm not sure people recognize me, Mom." I politely declined.She shook her head. "It's okay. You can accompany Vanessa's mom. It's just a tea with a group of mothers and their children, no need to worry. We'll relax there." Maria made it sound

Vanessa's POV"Do you have anything that looks plain but elegant?" Maria walked through the store's corners, looking for something she wanted.A few shop assistants followed her to help. A few times, I heard them talking about some of the top brands, discussing their latest releases and whether they fit.I just listened on the side. I didn't know about the latest trends these days. I don't follow them, so I don't know what each brand's fashion model or collection looks like. It feels like following every brand launch is a bit overwhelming for me. In one year, there are four seasons, and in each season, famous brands compete to release their collections to the market.From those that only release them as limited exclusive items to items sold in each store with a relatively limited number. But still, branded items are only produced in one period, so even in large quantities, the edition is still limited. If the item runs out this season, those who didn't manage to get it still won't get
