All Chapters of Tamed By My Stepbrother: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

KEIRA’S POV IT WAS already past eight in the evening, and Drake still wasn't back. With nothing else to do and nowhere else to go, I decided to take a bath and soak in the jacuzzi inside the bathroom. I put on a two-piece bikini and prepared some wine. I thought I could drown my sadness this way. I didn't even feel hungry because of the loneliness eating away at me. Being alone in such a beautiful place wasn't making me happy at all. I pulled back the curtain beside the jacuzzi, and to my surprise, I could also see the beauty of Erstonia through the transparent glass behind it. I admired the view for a moment before getting into the jacuzzi and pouring myself a glass of wine. I sipped it while looking outside, with the dark sky above and colorful lights below. As I gazed at the view, I couldn't help but wonder what the people beneath those lights were doing. I was

KEIRA’S POV THE NEXT morning, even though my body feels heavy and my head throbs faintly from yesterday’s rain and exhaustion, I force myself out of bed. I can’t afford to miss work. Not when I know Sabina is just waiting for me to slip. I take a long breath, straighten my shoulders, and walk toward the office with my damp hair tied into a low ponytail. The moment I step inside, something feels off. Everyone is looking at me. Not subtly — not with curiosity — but openly, directly, with the kind of stares that make the air feel thick and heavy. I slow down, confused, glancing at each set of eyes. Whispering starts almost immediately, but it’s Drei’s glare that cuts the deepest. His expression is dark, almost furious, and I don’t even understand why. “What… what did I do?” I ask, confused.&n

SABINA’S POV"YOU'RE so stúpid, Drei!" I shouted angrily at my cousin. "You can't even get rid of Keira, it's such a failure of a plan you've made! You won't be able to make her leave just because of a made-up complaint, and you haven't even executed it properly! You'll likely be criticized for your fóolishness! Your opponent is smart, so you should use your brain!""Oh my God, Sabina! Then you should have done it yourself! You're the one who has an issue with her, right? You're the one who doesn't want her to stay in your company! What do I gain if she works there or not? Nothing, right? So, if I were you, I'd just be the one making plans that you want to happen since, apparently, you're so good at everything! You have the audacity to call me stúpid and dúmb as if you're so great!" Drei shouted back at me in anger."Yeah, right! It seems like I have no choice but to fix this mess myself because you're so useless!" I shouted before ending the call.I didn't want to prolong this day an

KEIRA’S POVFor the entire day, despite how unwell I felt, Drake never left my side.Every time I tried to get up—to drink water, to eat a little, or even just to go to the bathroom—he was there, steady and watchful, as if the moment he looked away, something terrible might happen. He hovered close, his presence quiet but unwavering, and for reasons I didn’t fully understand, that alone made me feel safer.I was deeply grateful. More than that, I was comforted.I knew I had become a huge inconvenience to him. He had work, responsibilities, and an entire world waiting for him outside this room. And yet, here he was—choosing to stay.Selfishly, I couldn’t deny it anymore.I wanted him here.And as much as I hated myself for it, a part of me was thankful that this happened—because it meant I got to be with him like this, even just for a while.“Keira, it’s time for your medicine.”I turned my head at the sound of his voice. He was standing beside the bed, holding the tray with practiced

KEIRA’S POV "Do I really need to come with you, Drake?" I hesitantly asked, feeling nervous about accompanying him. "Yes, you have to come. I reserved a separate table for you. That's the best way for you to enjoy your stay here," he replied while adjusting his black suit. I didn't have a fever the whole night, but he continued to give me medicine, which eventually made me feel better. I couldn't deny that he was really hands-on in taking care of me. "How long is your meeting?" I asked while also getting myself ready. I was wearing a black A-line dress that covered my shoulders entirely and had a modest scoop neckline. It hugged my body, accentuating my breasts in an elegant manner. I didn't like wearing that dress since I wasn't used to it, but since Drake bought it for that day, I felt guilty not wearing it. "It depends. Don't worry a
