SERENA’S POV

It had been two long days since I left that luxurious mansion, yet not a single word had reached my ears from Kaden. I tried my best not to dwell on it, to focus on other things, but damn it, it bothered me nonetheless. But just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore, the sweet chime of a message popped up on my phone, disrupting my thoughts.

Lo and behold, it was Kaden himself, informing me that I had foolishly left my bracelet behind. His message read,

"Hey, Serena. Seems you've forgotten something important at the mansion. I found your little bracelet, and I thought I'd swing by and give it back to you. Send me your address."

My heart skipped a beat, but of course, I had to maintain my composure, play it cool. So, I replied casually, masking the elation in my words. "Oh, that old thing? Yeah, guess I did forget it. Okay, I'll text you the address. Drop by whenever, I guess."

    KADEN’s POVI glanced at the clock on my dashboard for what felt like the hundredth time that morning. 7:45 am. If I didn't get moving right this second, I was going to be late for work. I shoved the last of my bagel in my mouth as I rushed to gather my things. Briefcase, laptop bag, jacket - check, check, check. I bounded down the front steps two at a time until I bumped into someone. "Watch it!" a voice snapped at me.Cameron. Of course it had to be him to further delay my morning. I steadied myself and looked up to meet his steely gaze. "Maybe you should watch where you’re going too,bro.”His eyes drifted down to the glossy hardwood floor where something small and wrapped in satin had fallen out of my jacket pocket in the collision . He bent to pick it up just as I noticed. "What do we have here?" Cameron frowned slightly, holding up the delicate opal bracelet by its chain. That was Serena's bracelet I was planning to return to her after texting her moments ago if it was okay

    SERENA’S POVAs I slowly opened my eyes, the bright lights above made me squint. My head was pounding and I turned my head to see my mother sitting beside me, her face filled with worry. "Darling, you're awake!" she exclaimed, gently taking my hand in hers. "How are you feeling?"I gave a weak smile as I tried to sit up a little. "Fine," I croaked. My throat was parched. Just then, another face appeared—Mr. Lodge.His usual cheerful expression was dampened with concern. "We were so worried about you, Serena," he said softly. I looked between them, confused. "What happened? Where am I?"My mother exchanged a glance with Mr. Lodge. "You're in the hospital, sweetheart. Do you remember anything?"My memory rushed back to me. "There was a fire...at my old place. I must have passed out."My mother nodded slowly. "Kaden found you and pulled you out before the whole place went up in flames. If it wasn't for him, I dread to think..." Her voice trailed off and she squeezed my hand tighter."K

He took my lips this time around,leaving me breathless and wanting more.Kaden's bare chest, sculpted and inviting, greeted my wandering fingertips. I couldn't resist tracing my fingers over his rock-hard abs, because boy was he sexy!His hands roamed eagerly over my body effortlessly removing the white tank top I wore,leaving the curves of my breasts to be displayed in my lacy white bra. I groaned loudly when his fingers found my breasts,and gasped as he easily unhooked the bra and threw it aside on the bed.He gazed at me with pure lust as he grabbed them,brushing his fingers lightly at my brown erect nipples.“They are so beautiful,” he said in a low tone.Then he c

I lay there, completely naked and vulnerable with my legs stretched apart for my stepbrother and I adored every moment.My pussy lips were swollen and glistening with moisture at this point.

    SERENA’S POVI froze, mind racing to come up with an excuse. “Oh, uh, I forgot something in Kaden’s bedroom last night after I came to thank him. I just came to pick it up.” My mom raised an eyebrow but didn’t press further. Instead she reached out and brushed my hair with her fingertips, smiling knowingly. “You were always such a rough sleeper”I shrugged, feeling my cheeks burn. “Yeah, guess I just toss and turn.” “I wish I could stick around town longer but your father and I have a flight to catch.It is such a shame most of your clothing got all burned up. I’d love to take you shopping to replace some things, but I don’t have the time.”I hastily replied, “No, it’s fine, you don’t need to worry about me. You should get to the airport.

    KADEN’S POVI couldn't help but feel an overwhelming urge to punch Cameron square in the goddamn face as I watched him staring shamelessly at Serena's perfect ass when she bent down to pick something up. It was infuriating, to say the least.In those shorts she was wearing, her carefully sculpted thighs,her thick hips and generous curve was very obvious.Her slim waist filled out nicely into her large and very pleasingly round and firm looking ass. I remembered how I had grabbed that soft ass last night. Fuck.I tried my hardest to act nonchalant about the steamy sex last night to avoid any awkwardness between us. But shit, it wasn't easy, especially when images of her perfect nude body kept flashing through my mind.I couldn't stop thinking about our night together - her curvy body moving with mine, the taste of her lips, and how right she felt in my arms. I badly wanted to feel her soft skin against mine again.When I had opened my eyes that morning, her intoxicating scent of vanilla

    SERENA’S POV"We aren’t a thing. It was just sex,wasn’t it?" His voice echoed in my ear.I was so stupid thinking he owed me anything. Of course, I was probably one of the numerous girls he hung out with. I just happened to be his freaking step sister he had secret nasty mind blowing sex with.I guess since a “new” person entirely broke my celibacy I thought it was something special,almost as if I just lost my virginity for the second time. Or maybe because I still wanted him again and didn’t want it to be a one time thing?I flashed a smile that didn’t quite reach my eyes."Of course,we definitely just had sex. You should just stop acting awkward around me like I stole your candy or something.”"Wasn’t acting weird, just did not want you to have the wrong impression ya know?" He answered easily.Wow,Kaden Lodge you keep pushing my buttons! The sex wasn’t even that good,stop being delusional, I wanted to say, but refrained from saying that because it would be a big fat lie.“Sorry to

    SERENA’s POVI rushed into my office, still gulping down the lukewarm coffee from the break room machine. It was going to be one of those days, I could feel it. As I swung open the door, I was surprised to see a girl already sitting in one of the chairs across from my desk. "Can I help you?" I asked, setting my bag down and rounding the desk to sit. The girl shifted nervously in her seat. "Are you Serena Santos?" she asked in a small voice. I nodded as I booted up my computer. "That's me. How can I assist you?""My name is Sandra," she said, tucking a lock of strawberry-blonde hair behind her ear. "I was told you might be able to help me with my case."I sighed inwardly, knowing I was already swamped with work. "What's your case about, Sandra? I just need a quick rundown before committing to anything new."Sandra took a deep breath, as if steeling her nerves. "I've been charged with theft. But I swear, I didn't take anything! They just want someone to blame." Usually, theft cases

Let’s say our goodbyes shall we?)CAMERON’S POVI slammed the trunk shut on my overstuffed suitcase, sighing in relief that it had finally closed. After so much preparation, the day was finally here - I was moving to Spain for treatment. A soft knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. "Come in," I called, straightening up. The door opened to reveal Serena, arms wrapped tightly as if warding off cold. "Last chance to back out," she tried to joke, but it came out hollow. I moved to her, taking her hands gently in my own. "This is something I need to do, Serena. The best chance I have is with that specialist in Barcelona." Her bottom lip quivered, and I squeezed softly. "Hey, none of that now. I'm going to be just fine."“I’m sorry,” she sniffled. “I’m just getting sup

Now it's your turn to lose everything you cunning little bitch !" My heart stopped in my chest, body frozen in fear. This couldn't be real.But it was all too real as two more simultaneous bangs rang out, snapping me from my trance. I choked on a scream at the sight before me - Kaden and Cameron had leapt in front of me and were now collapsing to the floor in a pool of blood."No!" I shrieked, dropping to my knees in between them.Suddenly a final shot blasted, then silence. I slowly glanced up to find Richard's empty eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, a pool of blood blossoming under him. The police had finally arrived and taken him out. But the damage was done. I choked back a sobbing wail as I surveyed the whole room. Mom and Mr Lodge had hurried over to us in panic. I could hear them yelling but couldn’t make out what they were say

I wanted a fresh start, something new. And I knew I was not going to move on if I remained in that house. I remembered Kaden all too much. He was still in my heart and a tiny piece of my heart still believed he was somewhere out there… safe and alive maybe. Katy breezed into my house just then, arms loaded with bags from our shopping spree. “When Cam sees you, he’s going to melt!” she declared. Smiling weakly, I prayed she was right.

Setting down my pen that evening, I sighed and rubbed my temples.Vivian found me there, holding a mug of steaming tea. "How are you feeling tonight,Kade?" she inquired softly. I glanced up at her and took the mug in my hands."I remembered Bianca, my ex," I admitted heavily. “And why we broke up. But I haven’t remembered what else happened after that,”Vivian nodded in understanding, gingerly taking a seat beside me. "I never told you why I left, did I? The truth is, I was young and foolish - blinded by dreams of fame and fortune. Your father wanted us to work closely together and build his company together.

    THREE MONTHS AGO….. KADEN’S POV My eyes slowly opened, but everything was a blur. My head ached with a dull throbbing pain. As my vision came into focus, I realized I was lying in an elegant four poster bed, dressed in soft cotton pajamas. I turned my head, noticing a woman sitting beside the bed. She was lovely, with wavy brown hair and striking green eyes. But I didn't recognize her. Where was I? The last thing I remembered was...nothing. My mind was a blank slate. I tried to speak but my throat was parched and cracked. A straw was pressed to my lips and cool water trickled down. After several swallows, I lost consciousness again. My eyes opened again slowly, adjusting to the bright light. I wasn’t sure how long I had passed out for. Every muscle in my body ached as I tried to move. "Kaden, can you hear me?" The woman’s soft voice asked. My muddled mind scrambled for answers. "What...happened?" I croaked. "Kaden, you're finally awake!" she exclaimed in a happy v

"We're upset that our own children felt they had to deceive us for God knows how long.""I know, and I apologize," Cameron replied sincerely. "It was wrong of us. But my feelings for Serena are real, and there's a chance her baby could have been mine." Mr Lodge sighed heavily. "We trusted you both, and you continued lying to our faces every day. I'm very disappointed.""Pops, I know it was selfish of us. If only I had come clean when Serena lost the baby, this all could've been avoided." Mom's expression softened a fraction, though Mr Lodge still shook his head sadly. Cameron stepped forward, tentatively taking my hand in

    SERENA’S POVA month later….AUGUST.I inhaled Kaden's familiar cologne as I buried my face deeper into one of his favorite hoodies in his closet. I always came into his room anytime I felt the need to be near him. Every of his belonging was kept in place, untouched. It still seemed like he was there. He always loved to keep things in order. I was still mourning him though and probably would still continue till it was time to finally let go. But I wasn’t just mourning Kaden, I was mourning my baby too. That particular night I had learnt of Karen’s death, I had slipped in my bathroom and it was a terrible fall.My baby died even before I was being rushed to the hospital and I had to use crutches around the house and to work for moving. The cast had been removed from my leg only few days ago and I was walking properly now without the aid of the crutches. The excruciating pain I was feeling this whole time was both physical and emotional. I needed a break, I needed to unwind. But as

Serena sat blankly by the window, eyes red and empty. One hand idly sat on her belly. "Serena," I said softly, crossing over to sit beside her. "I brought you something to drink. You need to keep your strength up, for the baby." She didn't move or acknowledge the mug beside her. I sighed, running an anxious hand through my hair. "Please, Serena. You need to at least drink something, even if you don't feel like it."Finally, she whispered in a broken rasp, "There's no point, Cam. What am I eating and drinking for? Is there a party? We’re all mourning,." It seemed as though she was going to cry fresh tears soon.“You know,you cried more than me even if though Kaden is my twin.” I refused to use “was”. Somehow, I still felt like I hadn’t lost him yet. Even though we constantly had misund
