Claimed By My Stepbrother
“What the fuck, Jace?!”
One dinner. One secret. And suddenly, the boy I’ve loved for three years is staring at me like I’ve betrayed him.
Because the man my mother is finally happy with–the man who treats her like she matters—just happens to be his father.
Now Jace is furious. Obsessed. Unforgiving. He thinks I knew, that I kept this twisted truth hidden from him. I didn’t. But try telling that to the storm in his eyes, the rage in his voice, the way he corners me and demands answers like my heart isn’t already breaking.
For my mom, I should let go. She deserves her fairytale, and if that means cutting Jace out of my life, then I’ll do it—even if it feels like tearing my chest open.
But Jace? He refuses.
“Walk away from me, Jae,” he swears, “and I’ll burn it all down. Your mom’s happiness. My dad’s engagement. Every ounce of peace you think you’ll have.”
Because to Jace, I’m not just his girlfriend. I’m his obsession. His possession. His everything. And he’ll set the whole world on fire before he lets me go.
…
An obsessive boyfriend who would rather destroy everything than see the girl he loves as his stepsister.
And a girl who wants nothing more than to protect her mother’s happiness, even if it costs her own.
However, is the sacrifice worth it?
