All Chapters of Off Limit: Claimed By My Ex-fiance's Step-dad : Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

~~~Ryder~~~My blood was boiling.Every inch of my body felt hot, like fire was running through my veins. My fists were clenched so tight my knuckles were white, and my jaw was locked so hard it ached. The rage inside me was pure, raw, and violent. I wanted to destroy something. I wanted to make someone scream until their voice gave out.It wasn’t even the fact that Ellie was dead. I didn’t give a fuck about that old woman. It was because of the state Freya was in. She had resumed crying again, nonstop, broken sobs that tore at something deep inside me. I had done everything in my power to console her, held her, kissed her, whispered every comforting word I could think of, but it only helped a little. Ellie was her only real family left, and her death had shattered my bunny completely. Seeing her in this much raw pain made my stomach twist painfully. It made me want to burn the whole fucking world down.Right now, I was filled with nothing but murderous intent.I shut my eyes, rolling

~~~Zoey~~~We stepped inside the bar, and the atmosphere was surprisingly cozy. Dim warm lighting, soft jazz music playing in the background, and the smell of grilled meat and alcohol filling the air. There weren’t many people, just a few locals at the counter and some couples in the booths.Lincoln led me to a quiet corner booth. “Sit down. I’ll get us something to drink.”I nodded and slid into the seat, kicking off my heels under the table with a sigh of relief. My feet were throbbing.He came back a few minutes later with two cold drinks and some snacks. He sat across from me, watching me with that soft smile again.“Better?” he asked.“Much better,” I said, taking a sip. “Thanks.”We sat in comfortable silence for a bit, but I could feel the tension between us. Our hands had been touching earlier, and now we were alone in this quiet place. My heart was doing that stupid fluttering thing again.Lincoln leaned forward a little. “You know… I’ve been meaning to tell you something.”

~~~Zoey~~~~I honestly can't believe Lincoln and I would end up like this. I didn’t expect things to move soo fast between us. Honestly I love it. And now that I've confirmed he likes me too and he wants me. There's no harm in giving me my whole, right?Like I said earlier, I had a feeling that tonight was gonna change along between us and it did.We didn't break the kiss until the backs of his knees hit the mattress. He pulled me down with him arranging us in the center, my body half on top of his. We kissed deeper now, tongues fucking each other's mouths as his hands roamed around my ass, squeezing, spreading my cheeks slightly. I stroked him faster, the shyness i was feeling earlier fading into drunken need. Fuck. I love his cock."You feel so hard... so warm," I panted.“Hmm,” he groaned into my lips.He flipped us gently so I was on my back, him hovering over me. "I want to taste you first, baby, " Of course why not? I nodded, legs parting slowly giving him permission to dev

~~~Freya~~~I’ve been carrying this heavy, fucked-up knot in my chest for weeks, but today it feels a little looser. Ryder’s been glued to my side like he knows I might shatter if he steps too far away, and honestly? It’s working. Just having him close makes the air feel lighter, like I can actually breathe without choking on rage and grief.Samantha killed Ellie. That bitch ripped away the one person who still felt like home to me. I’m not letting that slide. Not ever. Ryder went to deal with her himself that day, but he wouldn’t tell me what went down. He came back looking tense as hell, jaw tight, eyes darker than usual. When I pushed, he just pulled me into his chest and muttered, “You’ll know the full truth in a few days. Just… stay calm for me, baby.” He asked Devon to dig even deeper into Samantha’s life, too. I trust Ryder with everything I’ve got. He’d never play me. He won’t side with that snake. I know in my bones he’s going to make her wish she was never fucking born.The

~~~Freya~~~The words slammed into my skull and echoed over and over like a broken record. Elaine, my stepmom. Samantha…My boyfriend’s alleged wife are. Biological. Twin. Sisters.No. No. No.A weak smile tugged at my lips, but it felt dead, fake as hell. I’d suspected they were connected, but twins? My stepmom had a whole-ass twin sister this entire time?The silence stretched too long. Devon’s voice crackled through the line again. “Hello? Freya, you still there?”I blinked hard, trying to find my voice. “Devon… you’re joking, right?”“No, ma’am. They’re biological sisters.” He paused, then dropped the next bomb. “And you know Vivian, Helene’s cousin, right?”My eyes widened even more, fresh dread spiking through me. What the fuck else is he about to hit me with? My voice came out low and shaky. “Yes…”“Okay. So Samantha is Helene’s aunt. Ever since your dad threw Elaine and Helene out, they’ve been crashing at Samantha’s apartment. And apparently, Vivian’s biological mother… is Sam
