A Night With My Husband's Stepbrother Chapter 16
“This is how they're going to burst your brain open if you mess up” He muttered, his voice carrying a serious warning, his gaze deadly locked on Luis; who's heart skipped for a beat. This was the very first time a gun would be pointed at him, and he felt like he was at the edge of crossing over to the land of the death. His mind raged with regret and a desperate prayer that he was only hallucinating; maybe the way he had been thinking about the job he signed up for lately. But his fear didn't last long as it was quickly replaced with disgust, when he heard the statement he made. Of course he knew to be cautious, and if he wanted to add to his cautiousness, he shouldn't have made it an expensive one—pointing gun at his head was a rather serious way, but effective, as it added to Luis awareness of the world he had stepped into. Luis didn't respond, instead he yanked his wrist off his grip, then strode off without looking back. He took slow, measured steps to the metal d

From the top floor, Johny had a clear view of the city—a world he was determined to control.His office was large and elegant, designed to reflect his ambition. Dark mahogany walls held built-in bookshelves, while a black marble desk sat at the center, spotless except for neatly arranged files and a crystal decanter of whiskey. Behind the desk was a luxurious leather chair imported from Italy. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed the busy city below. The air carried the scent of expensive cologne and aged whiskey, adding to the room’s quiet authority.Johny leaned back in his leather chair, a satisfied smirk tugging at his lips as he reviewed the latest financial reports. His plan was falling into place—soon, Ariel would be introduced to the Lucas family, making him secure his position. His father would have no choice but to acknowledge

In an unknown place in Las Vegas A dull throbbing radiated from Ariel’s wrists, the rough fibers of the rope biting into her skin. Her head pounded, a fog clouding her thoughts as she slowly regained consciousness. She forced her eyes open, only to be met with absolute darkness.~Where am I?~ A mixture of curiosity and danger sparked in her chest. Panic spiked in her chest as she struggled to move, but the coarse bite of rope against her skin stopped her. Her hands and feet were tied. Memories flashed in her head—leaving the boutique, stepping into the car, a sudden force yanking her back, a rough hand covering her mouth, restraining her from screaming—screeching tires. Then nothing.She tried to steady her breathing, but the heavy scent of damp concrete and oil filled her nose. A basement? A warehouse? Her breathing quickened as she tested her restraints. Tight. Too tight. The ropes cut into her wrists with every movement, biting deep.She tugged at her restraints again, ignoring

Its massive structure stretched across acres of perfectly trimmed gardens, exuding an air of untouchable prestige.At the center of the grand courtyard is a large fountain with flowing crystal-clear water, its smooth and steady flow giving a touch of elegance.Two neatly sculpted lion statues guarded the entrance, their fangs bared in silent warning, as if daring anyone to challenge the empire behind them.The mansion's smooth wooden double doors stood firm, framed with gold details that gleamed under the sun. Two tall pillars lined the entrance, adding to the mansion’s captivating picturesqueness.Inside, the scent of polished wood and fresh lilies filled the air. Every corner spoke of luxury, from the high ceilings adorned with dazzling chandeliers to the grand staircase leading to the upper floors.

Ten years ago, Johny had wormed his way into Alexander’s ex-girlfriend's heart, behind his back, poisoning what they had with betrayal. It cost him his sanity then; the scars of that betrayal had hardened him; it had turned him into a man of coldness; even the sight of women wouldn't entertain him.And yet, here he was, standing at the brim of another cruel twist of fate. Because now, it was Ariel, the only woman that changed him—that mysteriously softened his stiffened heart.His present wound. His silent torment. The woman who had unknowingly haunted him for years—the one he had spent endless nights searching for—was now about to wear—or had already worn—Johny's last name. Alexander’s phone buzzed.Slipping a hand into his pocket, he retrieved it and swiped to answer. He lifted it to his ear.“Speak.” His voice was calm, but his body had gone still.A brief pause. Then, the voice on the other end sent a shiver down his spine.“Sir, we can’t locate Ariel anymore. She’s missing.”Al

Lucas Corporation—Johny’s OfficeJohny paced the length of his office, his fingers tightening around his phone until his knuckles turned bone-white.The normally pristine space—lined with glass walls and a mahogany desk—felt suffocating, as though the walls were closing in with each passing second.His mind raced through a dozen worst-case scenarios, each one more unbearable than the last.He exhaled sharply, barely keeping his fury in check. “Do you have anything?” His voice was controlled, but the steel beneath it was unmistakable.“We’re working on it, sir.” His head of security sounded hesitant, and that hesitation sent a fresh wave of anger through him.He gritted his teeth in frustration and anger.“Work faster!” He spat, his tone was deadly sharp. “If she’s hurt, I’ll make every single one of you regret it.”He ended the call with a sharp motion, slamming his phone onto the desk. His pulse roared in his ears.This can’t be happening.Ariel was his key to the Lucas empire, his le

Ariel’s fingers gripped around the glass, its rough edge pressing against her palm. Her breath hitched as she adjusted her grip, carefully twisting her wrist. The restraint bit into her skin, her flesh throbbing, but she pushed through the pain.With slow, deliberate movements, she began sawing at the rope. The sharp edge razors through the fibers, each stroke a battle against time and pain. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, blending with the salty stings of her tears.Come on. Almost there.The last strand snapped.Her hands sprang free.Ariel didn’t pause to relish the moment. She immediately reached for her ankles, tearing through the restraints. Her fingers trembled as she worked, urgency overriding the pain.She was free.But she couldn’t celebrate yet. She had to be smart. She remained still, as though she was still tied down. Her gaze flicked toward the door. The man was still outside—she could hear faint shuffling, the occasional murmur of a voices. He wasn’t expecting

Alexander’s footsteps echoed through the room, each step deliberate. His sharp eyes remained fixed on Ariel’s fragile form, crumpled on the cold concrete floor. She was still unconscious; her soft breaths were weak, and her face streaked with tears and blood. As he closed the distance between them, his usual cold demeanor melted. She looked so vulnerable, so painfully delicate in this moment. His chest tightened—a sensation he wasn’t familiar with and certainly hadn’t invited. He knelt beside her and gently brushed some strands of hair away from her face. His gloved fingers lingered for a moment, for a moment more than intended, tracing the bruise on her lips. She shook faintly under his touch, her breath hitching, but her eyes still remained closed. Damn it, Ariel... Alexander’s jaw clenched, he cursed silently, his mind torn between the need to protect her and the fear that she would slip through his fingers once again. Memories of that one night flashed through his

Alex walked up to her, and stood right in her front, his hands tucked casually into his pockets. Ariel’s head dipped down, her gaze fixed on the floor as her breath grew shallow.Alex stood still, watching the nervous Ariel. A light chuckle left his lips in amusement. Amazed by her sudden nervousness. Where is the brave woman from earlier? He moved more closer to her, leaving a short distance between them. Ariel breathe caught in her throat, and without thinking, she took a shaky step back.Alexander chuckled again, unable to suppress the amusement in her reaction. His hand reached out, his fingers tilting her chin upward, forcing her to meet his gaze.Her heart felt as though it was leaping out as his thumb lightly brushed her jaw, sending an electrocut through her spine.Then he leaned forward, his lips dangerously close to her ear. His voice dropped to a whisper, rich and smooth, laced with something that made her Insides churn. “You still smell this same… you must like this c

Johny's smirk deepened as he took a seat across from Alexander, one leg casually crossed over the other. He slid his hand inside his pocket and dropped the bullet onto the table, the small metallic changed, its sharp sound cutting through the heavy silence. His fingers tapping idly against the wooden surface. "I hope now you’ll back off from my woman." His tone was light, almost casual, but the underlying warning was sharp. "Anyway, thanks for the rescue. I appreciate it, but…" He paused, his smirk widening as if something amusing had just crossed his mind."Tell me," he mused, tilting his head, "were you just being generous, or…" His voice dripped with mockery as he let the question linger. Then, as if dismissing the absurdity of his own thoughts, he waved a hand. "No, no. It can’t be. I mean, why would the most eligible bachelor in the whole city of Las Vegas be infatuated with his stepbrother’s wife?" A thick chuckle rumbled from his mouth, thick with arrogance.Alexander didn’

The garden was peaceful, bathed with the soft reflection on the sun. Breeze carried the blooming roses, weaving through the neatly trimmed hedges. Amid this serenity, Ariel sat beside Mr Lucas, on a wooden bench, they were both enjoying the soothing scenery of nature. Then Mr. Lucas's head turned towards Ariel, he wasn’t speaking, just staring.Not in a sharp gaze he has always been, no a scrutinizing gaze that could make one confess his crime. But something soft, and warm.A rare sight of Mr Lucas. His aged eyes held an unexplainable emotion as they settled on her face— too long as if searching.Ariel’s heart lurched uncomfortably at his unblinking stare. She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, her fingers trembling slightly. Her pulse pounded against her ribcage, rapid and erratic, as if her body sensed something her mind couldn’t grasp.A breathy chuckle slipped from Mr. Lucas’s lips. He had noticed her “Oh, child…” he murmured, shaking his head with quiet amusement.

Johny jaws spiked, his fingers twitched beside her. But he reminded composed. He suppressed the urge to intergect, because if he did, then his action will be flagged suspicious. Alexander's gaze sharpened, his attention now fully drawn to Ariel, he had been captivated by her ability to navigate the conversation so far, covering her husband’s foul play with a rather… unique intellect. But would she manage to twist this soul gripping questions in her favor? He leaned back slightly, waiting for her. Ariel quickly set her glass down, her fingers gripping the stem tightly as she tried to compose herself. A faint flush clawed up her neck, though whether from embarrassment or the weight of the question, she wasn’t sure. The room still remained silent. A slow smirk tugged at Alexander’s lips. Samantha’s eyes gleamed with silent amusement, while Aunty Vivian’s lips twitched in satisfaction. Damian, who had been chewing gum the whole time, paused, his face lit up in excitement to the sud

Samantha leaned forward, resting her chin against her knuckles. She had an effortless grace about her—elegant, poised, but dangerously observant.Her painted nails tapped against the table.“Ariel, you said your father is a merchant in this city,” Samantha began, tilting her head slightly. “That’s quite interesting. You must have lived a very comfortable life then, no?”Johny’s grip on her hand tightened. This wasn’t part of the questions they had prepared for. She could feel every pair of eyes on her, waiting for her response. The question was deceptively innocent, but she knew better.Samantha wasn’t asking for simple details. She was probing. Fishing for inconsistencies.“We lived well enough, yes.” She said calmly. Samantha hummed. “Well enough?” she repeated, as if testing the words on her tongue. “That’s rather vague, don’t you think?”Ariel maintained her calm. “We had what we needed, and for that, I was always grateful.”Samantha’s eyes gleamed with something of search with

The name sent a shiver down Ariel’s spine before she could stop it. His stepbrother? She questioned inwardly. She didn’t dare look at him. But she nodded in acknowledgement. She felt his gaze on her, the silent dominance of his presence. Just as she buried whatever emotions stirred in her chest, a soft, amused hum echoed from the other side of the table.“And I suppose that means I’m last,” a woman’s voice chimed in.Ariel turned to the source of the voice. She exuded elegance, but the glint in her gaze was one of amusement rather than warmth.“Samantha Lucas,” Johny said, his tone neutral. “Damian’s elder sister.”Samantha gave a slow, knowing smile. “Welcome to the family, Ariel,” she said, her voice smooth but laced with something Ariel couldn’t quite decipher.Ariel nodded. “Thank you.”Then for a long moment, silent fell in the room, thickened with awkwardness. Mr. Lucas cleared his throat, breaking the moment. “Now that introductions are out of the way, let’s get to the mat

By the left side of Mr Lucas, Alexander Lucas leaned back in his seat, his sharp features unreadable, but his stormy gaze lingered on Ariel for a second longer than necessary. Unlike the rest, his presence carried an edge—one that spoke of silent power rather than spoken authority.The moment their eyes locked, an unsettling feeling crawled up her spine—a feeling she couldn’t explain.Ariel's heartbeat pounded in her ears, drowning out everything else. Her breath hitched, her fingers trembling slightly as she fought the overwhelming sensation gripping her chest.Why is he here? His he part of the Lucas family? She questioned inwardly. Ariel's lips parted slightly, but no words came out.The weight of countless eyes bore down on her, but she barely registered them. The tension thickened, with unspoken question. Then—"Ariel," Johny’s voice cut through the moment like a blade, shattering whatever trance had momentarily seized her.She blinked, her breath shaky as she moved her gaze a

The ride to the Lucas estate was awkwardly silent, the hum of the car filling the space between them. Ariel kept her gaze fixed outside the tinted window, watching as the towering gates of the mansion loomed closer. Its pristine white walls standing tall against the bright sky, a testament to the power and wealth that came with the name.As the car slowed, uniformed guards stepped forward and scanned the vehicle before granting them entry. The iron gates swung open, and the driveway stretched endlessly, beautify by perfectly trimmed gardens that exuded an air of endless elegance. At the centre of the grand courtyard, was a large fountain flowed with crystal-clear water, its steady rhythm adding a sense of calm to the imposing surroundings.Ariel inhaled deeply. She had seen wealth before, but this… this was a different level. It was a dynasty. A kingdom built on power, battle and legacy.Her gaze shifted to the two lion statues positioned at the entrance, their sculpted forms froze

Ariel sat at the vanity, staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her reflection staring back at her seemed composed—her skin looked refreshed, her dark circles had disappeared, and her lips carried a natural pink hue, thanks to Maria’s care.But despite her great appearance, the turmoil inside her remained unshakeable.She picked up a brush, applying soft strokes of makeup to her face. She wasn't a fan of make-up, but she knew where she was going, every little details could count. A saga. That’s what today was. A grand, orchestrated display where she had a role to play. A wife. A perfect and presentable woman beside Johny Lucas.But wasn’t that what she signed up for? Of course it was. Her fingers curled around the compact powder as she stared at herself again. For years, she had been a survivor, adapting and molding herself into whatever was needed to protect her son. And now, this was just another way of surviving—one that came with wealth, and a name she barely felt belonged to
