All Chapters of My Stepbrother's Fated Nemesis: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

KNIGHTI was on my way back from a meeting when I had the sudden urge to see Jade. It was so strong that I had to divert onto a different lane instantly without thinking about all the work I had to do back at the office. What I did not expect to see was chaos at the headquarters of Lockwood Holdings when I arrived there. Someone named Riley Parker had explained to me that Jade had been abducted at the parking lot, just when they were about to head to a meeting with a supplier, and that the vehicle had just left five minutes before I arrived. There were several speculations flying around about why she could have been taken. I did not stop to listen to anyone, or think about my next course of action. I already knew what to do. Go after her. No bastard would abduct my stepsister on my watch. My woman, more accurately. I sped like a mad man, chasing the woman of my dreams. Thankfully, I caught up soon. Only to see that Jade has managed to subdue her abductor pretty well. I don't

KNIGHT“To what do I owe the pleasure, Mr. Malakai?” Soren—the man who looks very much like my Damon—stands in the doorway, filling it like a fucking god and looking ten times more formidable than the boy I remember from my teenage days. He slides a hand over his hair, ruffling the brown curls. And that single act sends a ripple through my chest. The familiarity is nostalgic as well as painful. Then he steps into the room and pulls out a chair at my desk, without being exactly invited. “I just want a word with you, Mr. Harland.” The way he says my name prickles my skin, and he looks up as if he can read my discomfort, meeting my gaze. “Do you mind?” I clear my throat and sink back into my seat, trying to appear as relaxed as he seems in my own office. “Depends on what this is about.”Something stirs inside me. Maybe it's the trepidation that he might be onto something. Something that interconnects himself and myself. Could this be about Jade? Great. I’ll be happy to ruin that pr

JADE “I believe you’re in the best position to know that.” Camille’s mouth drops open in mock surprise, and a nervous laugh spills through. She tries to mask it with a bit of elegance. “I'm sorry, what?” I take a step towards her, folding my arms across my chest, and it somehow comes across as menacing, because she backs away. “Do you have some kind of business with my husband? Something I don’t know about?” Only…I may know about it. She smirks, and God, it takes everything in me to not slap it off her face. Of course she's sleeping with Soren, and she's being smug about it. “What if I do?” She equally takes a menacing step towards me and gets in my face until I can see her silver eyes flare dangerously. “Would you happen to have a problem with it, little stepsister?” The way she sneers on that last word sends chills down my spine. It's almost like she knows something. “You look like you want to do something about it,” she purrs, squinting those stupid brows in mock pity

JADEIf I had to pick sides, it would be mine. Anyday, anytime.But I don't tell that to my stepbrother. Instead…I take a few steps forward until there is no distance left between us. “Was there anything else you wanted to add?”A muscle throbs in his jaw, snagging my attention. “I asked you a question.” “And it's my choice to answer or not.” I pause, sliding my gaze to his lips. “Therefore, I choose not to answer such a ridiculous question.” Why would I pick sides with any of them? I don’t like my father. My husband is cheating, and doing a whole other list of strange things. And my stepbrother? I can’t spend more than ten seconds in his presence without thinking of fucking him. “Hmm.” He moves away from my face and begins to circle me like a predator. “You know, there's a reason why Jaxon offered you a seat on the board. You must decide who's side you want to stand on, or be prepared to fight a long battle.” He pauses by my side and leans close to my ear. “Which can get pretty m

JADE “Wow. We’re just diving straight into the deep things, huh?” Piper smirks, and I don’t have a shred of regret or embarrassment in me as I lift the second glass of wine to my lips. “Who knows?” I lift my shoulders in a small shrug and flash her a mischievous smile. “Maybe it's how we bond.” “Interesting.” She leans across the table and whispers. “I think I like this side of Jade Morningstar better.” She pauses, the beautiful lines of her face twisting into a frown. “Well, honestly?” she sighs. “I do feel that way sometimes. I mean, I don't even know who my parents are.” She says it suddenly, without any sort of warning. I pause for a full minute and just gawk at her, and all my pain and worries evaporate into thin air. Oh my God. How did I never guess that? Now it's beginning to make some kind of sense why she seemed so detached back then. So…in her own shell. I carefully set down the glass and cough awkwardly. “Wait, you're serious…right?” I mean, the Piper sitti
