All Chapters of Tamed By My Stepbrother: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

KEIRA’S POVThe words echoed in my mind like a hammer striking glass: “I have decided to legally adopt Keira.”I froze, my pulse spiking as if someone had thrown my world off its axis. I felt Drake’s hand tighten around mine, sensing the storm brewing in his chest even before he spoke.“I will never allow that to happen!” he shouted, his voice sharp enough to cut through the murmurs of everyone in the room. His grip on my hand was ironclad, a lifeline anchoring me to reality. Heads turned; all eyes were on us. I dared not look away from the fierce storm in his gaze.“Stop that fúcking dream of yours, Dad!” Drake’s words were raw, unfiltered anger laced with disbelief.Edward’s face darkened instantly. “Drake!” he barked, his tone a mixture of shock and authority.“Who are you to toy with our lives?” Drake roared. “Keira and I are not robots to obey your whims! You and Mom married in secret, without telling us, and now you expect us to join your so-called family? That’s bullshit!”The

KEIRA’S POV Because of everything that had happened and the overwhelming exhaustion both Drake and I felt, we decided to return to the villa. The air outside was heavy, a mix of warm sea breeze and the faint scent of the ocean, but it did little to ease the weight pressing down on my chest. Drake escorted me to the front of my room, his presence steady and grounding. "I hope you can rest well tonight," I murmured, my voice almost breaking. "A lot of unpleasant things happened, but I… I still hope that everything will be okay soon." My words felt fragile even to me. He gave me a pained smile in return, one that reflected his own inner turmoil. "You should rest too," he said briefly, his voice low and measured. He opened the door for me, giving me a quiet, lingering glance that seemed to convey all the things words couldn’t. "Good night!" I forced a smile, taking a h

KEIRA’S POVI couldn’t stop the tears as I watched Mom’s car fade into the distance, leaving me standing at the doorstep with my bag in hand. The sound of the engine slowly disappearing echoed in my mind, and only then did I force myself to step inside the house.The first thing that hit me was the dust. It coated every surface, giving the house a desolate, forgotten feeling. I set my belongings down and closed the door, the sound of the latch clicking behind me sounding unusually final. I changed into my loungewear and started cleaning, each movement deliberate. The scrubbing, dusting, and organizing became more than just chores—they were a way to cope with the emptiness.Exhaustion gnawed at me, but I ignored it. The act of cleaning lightened the heaviness pressing against my chest, if only a little. Over an hour passed, and the accumulated dust surrendered to my efforts. When I finally sank onto the sofa, I surveyed the room with tired eyes.“Finally… I’m done,” I murmured.But the

KEIRA’S POV I knew Mom didn’t like that I was with Drake, but as I glanced at Edward, I saw a different expression on his face. He didn’t look displeased; in fact, there was something almost approving in his gaze, as though he were quietly pleased to see Drake and me together. That small observation made my chest tighten in a mixture of relief and disbelief. Drake escorted me to my seat, standing beside me as my guardian, and I felt a subtle comfort knowing he was there. His presence steadied me, anchoring me in the moment. I tried to focus on the ceremony, but my eyes kept wandering, searching for Mom. I wanted—no, needed—to catch a glimpse of her, a sign that she cared about this milestone in my life. But as the minutes passed, it became painfully clear: she wouldn’t even look at me. “Now, let’s proceed to give awards and diplomas,” the master of ce

KEIRA’S POVI MUSTERED up the courage to reach out to Drake and remove the shirt he wore during the graduation. I knelt on my bed while he stood in front of me. My hands trembled as I unbuttoned his shirt one by one, but he seemed impatient and ended up unbuttoning it himself. I didn’t understand why I was becoming flustered.I also stared at his naked upper body for a while. I was really amazed; I wanted to memorize every inch of his muscles. I didn’t know what came over me, but I gently touched his well-built body, and just from doing that, I felt a sticky sweat forming on me. It was the second time I had touched his body, but I couldn’t explain the warmth I felt whenever his body touched mine. He was really hard and hot to my touch.Drake moaned and closed his eyes as I explored his bare skin, and it seemed like he was enjoying what I was doing. When my gaze lowered, and I saw his prominently eréct member, I involuntarily paused and swallowed hard.“I think it’s my turn,” he said, a
