All Chapters of Once Upon A Steamy Night With My Stepson : Chapter 41 - Chapter 49

Chapter 41 GeorgeThe first plan had failed… badly.I barely made it out alive that night. Thomas’s guards were brutal, and I took a few hits while trying to dodge them. The man had tighter security than I expected.But I wasn’t giving up. Not yet. Not until Alice and Brandy were safely out of there, unharmed. Until then, I would keep looking for a new way in.I had just sat down to catch my breath when my phone rang.“I know the games you’re playing, George,” the familiar voice said. “But I’d advise you to back off now, while you still can… before it’s too late.”The line went dead before I could say a word.“Bastard,” I muttered under my breath, slamming the phone onto the couch.I headed straight to the bathroom and stepped into the shower. The cold water ran over me, but it did nothing to ease the knot of pain twisting in my stomach.The house was dead quiet. So quiet you could hear a pin drop. For the first time in years, I was completely alone… and it hit me hard.I was still

Chapter 43Alice The applause finally died down, and what followed was the sound of glasses clinking together in celebration.“To more deals,” Thomas said, raising his glass high with a proud grin.His arm stayed wrapped tight around my shoulders, like he was afraid I might slip away.He leaned in close, his voice low and soft. “Good job, Alice.” He paused. “Now go back to the room. I’ll join you soon.”I nodded and turned to leave. My legs felt heavy as I walked through the crowd, all those eyes still watching me. But I kept smiling, just like Aunt Sam had told me to.I climbed the stairs quietly. The fancy dress suddenly felt like a tight chain around me. All I wanted was to get inside the room and pull it off.But fate seemed to have other plans.I got into the room right on time to see the phone ringing. I rushed over at once and picked it up before the first ring even finished.“George?” I whispered.“It’s me,” he said quickly, like he’d been waiting right by the phone. “Are yo

Chapter 45 Alice “No, no, Alice, please don’t do it,” Aunt Sam begged. The desperation in her voice was clear.Watching her plead like that gave me a silent thrill. A strange sense of satisfaction.“Too late, Aunt Sam,” I said quietly.Her voice grew louder and more frantic. Tears filled her eyes now. “I promise I’ll make it up to you. Just… don’t do this, please.”I should have listened. I should have felt something when I heard the fear in her voice. But I didn’t. Not after everything she had done to me.My mind was already made up… not until she said something that made me stop cold. “Your son, Leo… he’s still alive.”My legs went numb. I turned to her, staring at her in disbelief.“What… did you just say?”“It’s true,” she said through a quiet sob. “He was never dead. Thomas faked it all so he could keep the boy all to himself.”She sounded so firm I had no doubt she wasn't lying. This couldn't be a joke.George and I exchanged quiet glances, both of us confused and shocked.“

Chapter 47 AliceI started marching towards Aunt Sam again, but George didn’t give me a chance. His hand caught mine quickly and he pulled me back gently.He let out a slow breath and drew me closer. “Alice, listen to me… we can’t be caught doing this. We agreed to let the police handle them, remember?”I blinked back the surge of anger rising inside me and met his gaze. He was right.We had agreed earlier that as soon as Thomas and Brandy were awake, we would alert the police. I had accepted the plan without any argument. But right now, all of that felt impossible. My mind kept screaming one thing… grab Samantha and make her feel the same pain she caused me.George noticed the hesitation in my eyes. He held my hand tighter, refusing to let go.“Okay, fine,” I muttered, quietly pulling my hand from his grip. “I’ve heard you. I’ll let the police deal with her. But first, she has to pay back all she stole from the company.”“Definitely,” he replied, his eyes still searching mine. “You

Chapter 49George His eyes widened in shock the moment he saw the police. But he didn’t stop struggling. He kept twisting and pulling against the ropes, letting out a deep, desperate groan as he fought with everything he had.He barely moved an inch before the officers closed in around him. They quickly untied the ropes, then pulled his arms behind his back and snapped the handcuffs on.As they dragged him towards the police van, he turned his head and locked eyes with me for a split second. Pure fury burned in his gaze… raw, deadly anger.It was a look that felt stronger than words. But I didn’t care. He could rot in jail for all I care.Samantha was seized too. Both of them were shoved into the van and the doors shut with a loud thud.I gave the officers a small nod and walked back inside the house. For the first time in years, I felt a heavy weight lift off my shoulders. Thomas wouldn’t be here with his empty threats anymore. And At last, Alice and I could finally have the peace w
