All Chapters of DANGEROUS LOVE, MY STEPFATHER'S SECRET: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Morning.”My stepdad walked into the dining room carrying a leather jacket on his right arm. He looked very fresh and masculine in a pair of jeans and a white polo shirt. His copper hair was a little messy and damp, but somehow he managed to look that attractive even though he probably just ran his fingers through it.My mother was very lucky to get a handsome and rich young man like Raviel Marshal. After failing twice in her marriage, and even being robbed by her second husband until my mother went bankrupt, this time my mother managed to get a husband who really spoiled her. Raviel not only fulfilled my mother’s material needs, but he also fulfilled my mother’s biological needs. And my mother had never complained about her bed life with Raviel. Very different from her previous husbands, my mother used to complain every morning because her husbands were rough in bed.“Claire. Claire Osborn!”I gasped in surprise. My mother and Raviel looked at me with two different types of gazes. M

“I’ve been looking for you everywhere, Raviel.”See, my mother was only worried about Raviel, and not the least bit worried about me. She treated Raviel like a precious diamond that had to be taken care of. Meanwhile, my mother treated me like I was just a worthless rock that was found on the street.“I’m enjoying a martini while watching the planes.”“And Claire, haven’t you had breakfast at home? That cake will make you fat. No wonder no man asks you out. You’re fat and ugly.”The raspberry mousse cake suddenly tasted bland in my mouth. I lowered my head deeply, feeling both ashamed and angry at my mother’s hurtful words. She had not only embarrassed me in front of Raviel, but also in front of the waiters in this lounge and several other passengers about to board the plane.“Karina, don’t ruin our vacation with your anger. That cake won’t make Claire fat. She’s not dating because she’s unattractive, but because she wants to focus on her studies. She’s an excellent student.”“Don’t t

“She’s fine. You don’t have to worry about your mom since she never worries about you at all.”He stopped me before I could leave the balcony.“I don’t want you to get into trouble like we did in the lounge. Your mom will be mad at you if you disturb her sleep.”He was right. Mom never even worried about me, so why should I bother worrying about her?“Okay. We should go to the beach now. I’ll wait downstairs.”I waited for Raviel while wringing my hands together nervously. I made a mistake by agreeing to Raviel's idea of ​​going to the beach with him. I should have rejected his idea and stayed away from my stepdad, but it was too hard to say no. I couldn't forget the lustful look he gave me in my bikini on the balcony. I couldn't be wrong if I saw something like a spark of desire in his eyes. I recognized the signs because I was taking a psychology program. Studying human nature and body language was something I did every day in class."Hi, are you alone?""Hi. No, I'm here with my pa

I woke up to a very loud knock on the door. It kept going even though I tried to ignore it. My room was pitch black. I lost my orientation for a moment and let the knocker keep knocking on the door.“Where am I?”I sat up and tried to remember what I was doing before I fell asleep.The blanket on my chest had fallen and bunched around my waist. I wasn't wearing anything underneath, but my skin was damp and smelled of the sweetest lavender. I think I’m starting to remember what happened to me before I fell asleep.Raviel and I came back from the beach after two hours of very pleasant sunbathing. We talked about many things and got away from the intimate things that had been stressing me out. He told me about some of his businesses. He shared with me some tips and tricks on how to become a successful businessman. I was very sleepy as I listened to him talk so enthusiastically. Raviel then took me back to the resort. I happily agreed because I was really sleepy and needed a bed. But beca

“Mom. Where have you been? I haven’t seen you since this morning.”I took off my reading glasses and put down the novel I was reading.My mom had just come back from who knows where, but she looked so happy. Her skin was so smooth and glowing, like it had just been coated in twenty-four karat gold. Mom was wearing a bright yellow sundress that suited her perfectly. It made her twice as charming as usual.“I just got a half million dollar body treatment. A gift from Raviel.”Oops. I guess I just made a mistake by greeting my mom. She wouldn’t stop babbling and showing off the things Raviel gave her until she was completely satisfied.“Look at my skin, it’s so shiny and smooth like a baby’s skin. They rubbed me like porcelain and massaged my whole body. Hmm… It was so comfortable. Raviel was so kind. He pampered me today after draining all my energy last night.”I choked on my own saliva as my mother started telling me things I really didn’t want to hear. Last night I had a very inappro
