Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Little Stepmother in Trouble: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

 Ten years later…With Roger’s move to Miami to take over the family business, Alexander leaned on his wife to help him run the company.No matter how many new assistants he hired, he never found one who measured up to his great friend, and he ended up firing every last one of them.None of them had the necessary qualities: being sincere to the point of unbearable, butting in where nobody had asked them to, and having no social life.But the assistant was happy, and that was what mattered to the two of them, so they tried to stay in touch on a regular basis.Diana’s mother ended up marrying Jacob two years later. She waited just long enough to keep tongues from wagging, seeing as they were already living together five months after they started dating.His dear mother-in-law had taken her sweet time discovering what it was like to be treated the way she deserved, but now she lived happily with a man who showed

 "The best thing about this house just walked in!" Roger shouted the second they let him through the door of the family home."Is lunch ready? Because that's the best thing that ever happens in this house," Joseph asked, not paying him the slightest attention.His younger brother was sprawled on the couch, staring at his phone screen as if Roger's arrival had nothing to do with him."The best thing about this house is me. You can survive without food, but not without me," Roger muttered, unbothered by his behavior.His brother looked up from the phone and was startled to see him standing there, two suitcases side by side and a worn-out look on his face."Bro?" he asked again, looking at him as if he were seeing a ghost, but still not moving from the couch.Nothing around here ever changed, and Roger understood better than ever why his father had spent all those years begging him to come back. Joseph couldn't take care of himself

The conversation with Alexander had helped him clear his head.Without meaning to, they'd talked longer than they should have, and just as he was about to fall asleep, he got a text from his friend: “You bastard, Diana fell asleep. You're going to pay for this.”That hadn't been his intention, but he had to admit that messing with Alexander was one of his favorite pastimes.His father had told him to follow his gut, and if he felt he needed to test Natalie, then to go ahead, but not to complain afterward if there were consequences.His gut was shot right now. Somewhere along the way it had broken down, and he no longer knew what he was supposed to do.Alexander hadn't been like his father.He had insisted that Natalie was a treacherous harpy, just like Rebeca had been, but Roger figured he only said it because he was resentful toward her over what had happened with his wife.His girlfriend had met him when he was an assistant, and she'd accepted him that way.Maybe he'd made the mista

 Roger got in the car and started driving without any idea where he was headed. The night he’d believed would be nothing but happiness had turned into torture, and he still couldn’t believe what he’d witnessed. With his own brother, no less, and Joseph hadn’t felt a shred of guilt. The only thing that worried him was whether Roger would tell their father.Even though every part of him was begging for revenge, he wasn’t going to take it. He wouldn’t let a woman like her cause a family feud. He didn’t need to ask why. It was all painfully clear, and Natalie’s words had been more than enlightening. She wasn’t about to marry a man who didn’t want to get ahead, and since she’d figured his brother would be the one stepping into their father’s shoes, she had sold herself to the highest bidder. He should have seen it coming, but he never imagined the betrayal would come twice over. Joseph was still h

Diana arrived at the company to help her husband interview candidates for his new assistant.It had been almost two months since Roger left, and he still hadn't chosen anyone.The last time they'd talked to Roger was right after he broke off his engagement, and they'd been looking for someone suitable to hand off some of his duties to.They both wanted to go see him because they knew he wasn't doing very well, but so far they hadn't been able to.Diana had promised to help with the selection since he kept rejecting everyone, and she'd also told him she wouldn't interfere with his decision, because in the end he was the one who'd be working with the person.She was only there as a spectator, nothing more."Why were you so late?!" her husband snapped the second she walked into the office. "We should've started half an hour ago. By the way, you look beautiful today, pixie."Diana walked over and kissed him to thank him for the compliment.She knew he was lying, because she'd looked in th
