Stealing My Sister's Fiancee
Maya de Cruz is at the lowest point of her life—her career is in ruins, her uncaring family has her backed into a corner, and her past continues to haunt her.
In the depths of her despair, Maya’s world tilts when Aaric Salvaterre Bernardi—her ex boyfriend, now her sister’s fiancé—appears with an offer too tempting to resist, one that could either save her or destroy everything she once held dear.
Aaric, with his deadly charm and power to subdue anyone, drags Maya back into the web of his dangerous world.
What begins as a risky deal slowly turns into a seductive and inescapable game of desire. Maya struggles to suppress the emotions slowly invading her heart, but Aaric's undeniable magnetism pulls her deeper into his orbit. Every glance, every word, unravels her defenses, leaving her at war with a dilemma that threatens to shatter her principles and pride.
Amidst a swirl of intrigue and dark secrets that are increasingly revealed, Maya finds herself at the crossroads between a burning forbidden love and the threat of losing herself.
As reason gives way to desire, a single question lingers like a haunting melody: will Maya dare to risk it all for the man who shattered her world, yet awakened a flame within her she thought had long died?

Chapter: XLIV : I polish up real niceThe restaurant is located on the beach, with dimly lit lamps reflecting softly off the sea's surface. The night air carried the salty scent of the ocean, mingling with the fragrant spices of the dishes served on the white linen-covered tables.I sat back in my chair, still trying to digest how we had gotten to this place. I knew Aaric never half-assed anything, but this restaurant—with its strict guest list, waiters who moved almost silently, and exclusive, suffocating atmosphere—was completely beyond my expectations.And even more astonishingly, when we walked in, no one stopped us. No one asked for a reservation. No one dared to speak before Aaric stepped through the door.Instead, the restaurant manager himself greeted us, opening the way with a slight bow of the head as if Aaric were someone more influential than the place's owner.I don't know if that made me more impressed... or more horrified.As we arrived at the table, I prepared to pull out my own chair, but Aaric had alread

Chapter: XLIII : You Played Me Too WellI scrubbed my face harder than I should have, as if I could wipe away something more than just the remnants of makeup on my skin. But no matter how many cotton pads I used, no matter how cold the micellar water felt against my skin, the guilt still clung to my chest—thick, sticky, disgusting.I tossed the last cotton pad into the trash with unnecessary force and let out a long sigh.Behind me, Amira—my makeup artist—observed with narrowed eyes before crossing her arms. “You just looked at yourself in the mirror like you wanted to punch your own reflection.”I turned to her, forcing a small smile. “Just tired.”Amira clicked her tongue. “You always say that.”I didn’t respond. I knew that if I said anything more, my voice would sound too fragile for someone who had just finished a major photoshoot and received praise from the entire crew.I pressed my temples, trying to push away the lingering headache creeping beneath my skull.“I’m done here, right?” I finally asked, my voice soundin

Chapter: XLII : I bent the truth too far tonightThe morning was still too quiet when I opened my eyes. The air in the room felt warm, mingled with the scent of wood, sea salt, and something deeper—more familiar. Aaric. I didn't need to turn around to know he was still there. His strong arm wrapped tightly around my waist, his warm body pressed against my back, and his steady breath brushed against my nape in an almost hypnotic rhythm. I bit my lip, suppressing the anxiety that began to well up in my chest. This shouldn't have happened. I took a deep breath, letting my eyes drift to the large glass window that faced the sea. The sun was still halfway up the horizon, casting a golden shimmer that danced slowly on the calm waves. The beach in the morning always gave me a sense of peace. Or at least, it usually did. But not this morning. This morning, I woke up naked, trapped in the embrace of a man who shouldn't be here. A man I once loved. A man who was now not just dangerous—but also... Mellan's fiancé. My chest grew

Chapter: XLI : The Pedal's Down, My Eyes are Closed,I don’t know who moved first. All I know is that one second, we were staring at each other in silence, and the next, his lips were pressing against mine again.This time, there was no gentleness. No pause. No space to think.Aaric kissed me in a way that was completely demanding and dominating, taking everything he could from me. His lips moved over mine with a rhythm that made me lose my balance.His hand gripped my neck tighter than before, leaving me no choice but to respond. I let out a quiet moan between our kisses, and it only made him wilder.My hands, which had only been gripping his sweater, slid up his shoulders, pulling him closer. I could feel the tension in his muscles beneath my fingers, the heat of his body seeping through the fabric between us.Aaric deepened the kiss. His lips parted slightly, his tongue sweeping over my lower lip before slipping inside, demanding access that I gave him without hesitation.Heat. Everything felt like heat.His tongue met mine, playing

Chapter: XL : Blood on the Floor, Heat on My SkinThe ticking of a clock echoed in the dark room. It was slow initially, then faster and louder as if counting down to something dreadful. I stood in the middle of a long, unfamiliar hallway—its walls dull gray, its floor made of old wooden planks that creaked beneath my steps. The dim light from a flickering chandelier illuminated the path ahead, casting long shadows that seemed to move at the edge of my vision. I didn’t know why I was here. I didn’t know where I was supposed to go. But my feet kept moving forward, even though something inside me screamed to turn back and run. Then I saw it. A drop of blood. Dripping from the ceiling. Landing on the back of my hand. I swallowed hard and slowly lifted my face. Someone was there. Hanging from the ceiling. I held my breath. Dylan. His eyes were empty, his lips parted like trying to say something, but no sound came out. Blood dripped from the gaping wound on his neck, falling slowly, forming a crimson pool on the wooden floor

Chapter: XXXIX : Hearts Racing, Minds Spinning"Seriously, I don't understand how you can do a scene like that without losing your mind," Ashley said she he picked up a bottle of water and handed it to me.I accepted it wearily, unscrewed the cap, and gulped it down immediately. After that long scene, my throat felt dry."I'm just separating myself from reality," I mumbled.Ashley raised one eyebrow. "Seperating?"I sighed, trying to find the right words. "When I'm on camera, I'm not Maya. I'm the character I'm playing. I feel what she feels. It's the only way I can do it well."Ashley gave me a long look before nodding. "That explains why I almost cried watching your acting."I chuckled, though my shoulders felt tense. "Don't cry on set, Ash. It'll ruin your makeup.""Okay." She snorted as she grabbed a sandwich from the catering table. "I'll cry after we get the Oscar."I shook my head, grabbed a sandwich, and walked towards the break area. Some crew members were still busy talking to each other, but I could feel the occasional

Chapter: The Ghost in the Room“Don't be naughty when Mama's busy, okay? If you need anything, just ask Brodie.”“Can I ask for an iPad and a toy?!” Matilda's eyes lit up.I squatted in front of Matteo and Matilda, smoothing Matilda's slightly messy hair with a smile. “Ipads and toys are not ‘needs’, Tilly,” I said softly, pinching her nose, immediately making her giggle. “I will be gone for a while, you have to promise not to trouble Brodie, okay?”Matteo nodded seriously, but I could see his eyes glancing at Harry, who stood behind me with a relaxed expression.“If Brodie allows it, how about it?” Matteo asked, his voice full of anticipation.Harry chuckled softly, leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest. “I always allow it if it's something reasonable,” he said teasingly, then looked at me. “So, is there a list of special instructions, Ms. Marsh?”“Nothing in particular. Just make sure they eat lunch and dinner on time, no snacks before bed, and—” I turned to them who were already making

Chapter: Past Stitches, Present GlitchesIt was still eleven a.m when I leaned my head back on the chair at the back of my boutique. The clockwork on the wall ticked softly, providing a soothing rhythm amidst the room's stillness.My handcrafted dresses hung neatly all around, each exuding an elegance that made me feel proud, but they also reminded me of the heavy responsibility I had to bear.I closed my eyes briefly, trying to shake off the fatigue that gripped my body after the long interview. But instead of peace, my mind is filled with plans for tomorrow's big catwalk in Hollywood. I know sleeping here is not a wise choice, but my body is too tired to care.A small chuckle sounded faintly in the distance, followed by a cheerful babble that got closer. I furrowed my brows and opened my eyes slowly but remained silent and listening.“Look! That's the dress Mama made last week!” Matteo's voice sounded admiring.“Yes, but I prefer the one with the beads,” Matilda replied cheerfully.“But this dress has cool lace, Tilly,” Ma

Chapter: Raquel Marsh UnveiledThe sound of the waves slowly faded as the car drove off the cobblestone road onto the main road. Morning light peeked through the trees, illuminating the deserted highway.In the front seat, Matteo hummed happily to the song on the radio, his squeaky voice making Harry chuckle as he adjusted the wheel.“Matteo, a little lower. It's not a concert,” Harry said jokingly, his eyes glancing at the little boy sitting upright in the passenger seat in a bright blue jacket.“But I could be a rockstar if I wanted to!” Matteo grinned widely, combing his short hair with his tiny fingers to look cool. “You know that, Brody?”Harry chuckled, replying casually, “Of course, Theo. But don't forget, rockstars still must go to school.”I was busy braiding Matilda's hair in the back, trying to hold back my laughter at their conversation. Matilda's curly hair was always a challenge, but today, she seemed more patient—at least until she started talking again.“Rockstar? Matteo can't be a rockstar. He can'

Chapter: Dresses and DreamsFive Years Later. The room was filled with soft light that bounced off the tall glass walls, giving it an airy and elegant feel.In the center stood a mannequin in a dress that looked like a work of art. It had layers of floating silk fabric and beads that sparkled like stars. The dress was unfinished, but it already exuded undeniable luxury and elegance.I stood in front of the mannequin, intently watching every detail. My fingers touched the fabric, fixing the slight crease at the waist before I stepped back to look at it from a different angle. My boots clicked softly on the smooth wooden floor, and a sound drowned out in the low rumble of my team's discussion behind me."Add a little more volume at the bottom," I say, more to myself than to anyone else.But one of my assistants, Grace, notes it right away. She's always alert, and so are the others. My team, little family, the ones who always believed in my vision, even when I doubted myself at times.I took a deep breath, feeling

Chapter: Raindrops and RuinsWhen I stood in front of Harry's apartment door, the rain had stopped.The sky was still dark from the overcast, and the bone-chilling cold wind made my body tremble. But that's not what made me feel like I was going to collapse. It wasn't what made my hands tremble as I clutched the cloth bag at my side.It was the pain that constantly gnawed at my chest, shaking every joint until I could barely stand.I knocked on the door three times, barely making a sound. I knew Becca and Anna were inside, waiting for me with hope. Maybe they were laughing, imagining me coming in with a smile full of happiness because of the surprise lunch they'd encouraged me to have. But they don't know—nobody knows how broken I am right now.The door opens slightly, and Becca's face appears. Her hair is disheveled, but her smile is wide, as always."Ky! You finally—" She stopped, her smile vanishing instantly as her eyes caught mine.I couldn't speak. My lips trembled violently, and the tears I had been holdin

Chapter: A Table Set for OneThe rain still falls heavily, its rhythm hitting the large dining room window like a knock on my nerves. The warm scent of osso buco fills the air, mingling with the fragrance of the vanilla candle I've chosen especially for tonight.I glanced at the wall clock for the umpteenth time—it was twenty minutes past eight.He's late. But Alvaro always comes home, doesn't he? He always strides in with his cold, unwavering way, making my heart pound even though I know he never sees me.I check the dining table once more. The small candles were perfectly lit, and the tablecloth was straight without a single crease. I even matched the position of the forks and knives like I'd seen in a fancy restaurant. It may be silly, but I wanted everything to look perfect, though I knew I was far from it myself.The image of myself in the window, my fat body, was there.I move closer, looking at my face faintly reflected in the glass. My tangled black hair was now neatly styled and slicked back so as not to
