Owning My Stepfather:A Forbidden Romance
Elias Thorne had his future mapped out until a single, cold text message shattered his world: Your father is dead. Three months later, the mourning isn't over, but the takeover has begun. His mother hasn't just remarried; she has merged their family legacy with the coldest architectural tycoon in the city—William Vance.
William is a man of blueprints and unyielding discipline. To him, Elias isn’t a son; he is a project to be managed and a spirit to be broken. Under the stability Clause of his father’s will, Elias is trapped in a cage where every breath he takes requires William’s approval.
But Elias refuses to be a silent asset. Driven by a burning resentment, he vows to find the crack in William’s perfect foundation and bring the whole house down.
He expects a battle of wits and legal loopholes, but he isn't prepared for the suffocating, magnetic tension that ignites every time William tightens the leash.
In a world of sharp suits and sharper secrets, the lines between hatred and obsession begin to blur. As the friction between them turns into a wildfire, they both realize that in a game of total control, the only way to win is to surrender.
One is an architect of order. The other is a catalyst for chaos. When the sparks fly, will they build something new—or burn it all to the ground?
