Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mistakenly Loving My Mafia Stepbrother: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

For six years, my stepbrother Draven, the heir to a mafia family, and I have been in a secret relationship. Every night, his hands would trace every curve of my body with desperate hunger.The way he would look at me in those intimate moments made me believe I was the only woman who could ignite such passion in him.Until a month ago, when I found out I was pregnant.The day before Valentine's Day, I snuck into his study, planning to surprise him.Through the crack in the door, I heard him talking to Nico, the family's consigliere."Aren't you tired of your little stepsister, Jasmine? The engagement is right around the corner. You haven't actually fallen for her, have you?"A cruel smirk played on his lips."Fall for her? She was an easy target who fell right into my lap. It would've been a waste not to take a bite.""Her mother drove mine to an early grave. These six years have been her penance. And she's deserved every moment of it.""Besides, I've said it before. My wife will be B

The next morning, I snuck out of my room while the rest of the family was still asleep.Draven had just left to handle some family business, and I headed out right after him.With three days left, I needed to make final preparations for my departure.I never expected to run into Draven and Bianca here.Outside a jewelry store, Draven got out of the driver's seat and walked around to open the passenger door for her.Bianca linked her arm through Draven's, her smile radiant."The custom rings from this jeweler are just perfect, Draven."She deliberately raised her voice, drawing the attention of passersby.Just as she'd hoped, murmurs of envy rose from the crowd."Is that the Tyler family's daughter? She's so elegant. That ring on her finger looks like it's from the C brand's heirloom collection. I heard one of those is worth eight figures!""That's her, alright. I heard she and Draven have been together since business school. The two families even bought an entire estate just for the en

Draven stared at the shattered camera in Nico's hand, his mind refusing to process what he was seeing.After a long moment, he grabbed Nico's shoulders, his voice shaking."What do you mean, you have it? And what's this about a shootout, an explosion? Where's Jasmine? Where is she?""Jasmine isn't dead," Draven insisted. "This is just one of her pranks. It has to be."Nico, who knew the full extent of Draven's plan, could only sigh in resignation."Jasmine mailed this two days ago. I just saw it at the door with your name on it. I thought it was a prop for the engagement ceremony, so I opened it and brought it in.""She knows about your entire plan.""And the explosion..." Nico's expression hardened as he met Draven's gaze."The car exploded at the bottom of a cliff. There were no survivors at the scene.""Draven, your stepsister is gone. It happened this morning. I got a hold of her itinerary. The news is already breaking: a car caught in a rival family shootout just outside the city.

Draven shook off Bianca and stormed toward the villa.He had to find Elena. He had to confirm the news about Jasmine.When he saw her holding her phone, her eyes red and swollen, Draven's tone softened."Elena, isn't Jasmine here yet? Has she replied to your messages?""Draven... there's something I think you should know.""Jasmine... she's not going to make it today. She told me three days ago she wanted to leave this place. She left this morning, and then... then the shootout happened..."With that, she burst into tears, unable to continue."She left this for me last night." Elena picked up a small box from the coffee table.Inside the box lay a ring, the one that symbolized her status in the Langley family.A wave of panic washed over Draven. An image of Jasmine on the street flashed through his mind.She had been so calm, as if she was already prepared for everything.She'd said she was running errands for her mother, that she understood his choice. She had even called Bianca his f

Draven returned to the empty house.He pushed open the door to Jasmine's bedroom. The dresser was half-empty, the closet doors ajar. Everything of hers was gone.They had lived in this house together for six years.Every corner where they had held each other was now cold and empty, as if she had been a ghost all along.He sat on the edge of the bed, chain-smoking until the floor was littered with stubs.The shrill ring of his phone cut through the silence. The moment he answered, Don Langley's furious voice erupted from the other end."Draven Langley! What the hell do you think you're doing?""Our port operations are frozen! The smuggling routes are cut! Do you have any idea what this means for us?""Your power play is in ruins! Years of planning, all for nothing!""How did I end up with a son like you? You're a disgrace to this family!""You ruined this family's future for a woman!"As his father spoke, Draven could hear the condemning murmurs of other family members in the background
