Stella’s P.O.V.

Pain in the ass!

My stepbrother is the one. I know he’s deliberately trying to piss me off. But I’m not one to back down. I’ll also leave no chance to annoy him.

I walk through the crowded corridors of my new college, trying to find my classroom. Alex is in the same class as mine, but how could I have asked him to direct me to the classroom when we spent the entire car ride bickering instead?

What the fuck does he think of himself? Mr. Grumpy, with his stupid muscles and his tattoos, acts like the world revolves around him.

“Stella, just stop thinking about him and find your class.” I chide myself because I can’t be late on my first day. Already, I’m entering college halfway through the semester. The last thing I need is to make a bad impression.

Although it’s usually easy for me to make friends because of my talkative nature, I still feel a bit nervous. After all, most people have already formed their groups, and I’m the new girl, the outsider.

    Alex’s P.O.V.“Alex, you better behave with Stella. She is my friend now.” Zoe comes over to my seat with Sky after the first class.I was already frustrated because of Stella’s presence in the classroom and now Zoe telling me she made Stella her friend. Fucking why?“You met her today only, you made her your friend. I can’t believe it.” I shake my head in disbelief at her.“And you? What did you do? You made her your enemy before even meeting her.” Zoe chides me, making me more frustrated.Sky intrudes, “Alex, since Stella will be with you a lot at college and your place, try to get along with her.”I clench my jaw, glancing between Zoe and Sky. They don’t get it. They have no idea how much Stella is pissing me off.“Get along with her?” I scoff, crossing my arms. “She is the daughter of a woman who replaced my mother.”Sky gives me a pointed look, and I know what he’s going to say before the words even leave his mouth. “Maybe that’s why you treat her like crap, Alex. You don’t even

    Alex’s P.O.V.Two Weeks LaterIt’s been two weeks since Stella has been living in the same house as me and going to the same college. And somehow, every single day, she finds new ways to test my patience. Since she entered my life, I haven’t been able to concentrate anywhere. I don’t know why, but she’s driving me insane, and it frustrates me even more. Maybe it’s because she’s always around. Maybe I think she and her mother are after my father’s money, or maybe it’s something more—something I don’t want to admit.The attraction.I clench my fists at the thought. No. She’s off-limits. My dad’s remarried her mother, for fuck’s sake. She’s practically my stepsister. She’s forbidden.That’s probably why I can’t stop picking fights with her. The more I feel this stupid pull towards her, the more I push her away.During basketball practice, I’m trying to focus, trying to keep my head in the game. The ball is in my hands as I dribble across the court, sweat running down my face. The thud o

    Alex’s P.O.V. At night, I come home, my thoughts still a mess from everything that happened with Stella at basketball practice. I can’t get her out of my head, and it’s driving me insane. As I pass by the dining room, I hear voices. It's Stella’s voice, and I stop. She’s sitting at the table, but she’s not alone. One of the maids is there, wobbling slightly as she tries to serve Stella her dinner. “Are you okay?” Stella asks, her voice filled with concern. The maid, looking pale and unsteady on her feet, gives a weak smile. “Yes, ma’am. I’m fine.” “You don’t look fine to me,” she responds, pushing the maid’s hand away from the serving dish. “I’ll serve myself. You need to take a break.” The maid shakes her head. “No, ma’am, it’s my duty—” Stella cuts her off in a firm but kind tone. “I’ve got it. I’m used to doing things on my own, anyway. And besides, I think you haven’t eaten dinner yet—that’s probably why you’re feeling dizzy. Come on, sit down with me and have something to e

    Stella’s P.O.V.I walk into the classroom, still trying to process everything that happened with Alex. The way he acted this morning—it was so out of character. No sarcastic remarks, no grumpy attitude… just calm and polite. And the way he poured me juice? What the hell was that about?I spot Zoe and Selena sitting near the back, chatting and laughing. I head over to them, dropping my bag on the table as I plop down in the seat next to Zoe.“Hey, you look deep in thought.” Selena raises an eyebrow.“I’ve had a weird morning,” I admit, rubbing my temples. “And it’s all because of Alex.”“What did he do this time?” Zoe asks, leaning closer, and Selena waits for my answer with curiosity.They must be thinking that Alex did something to annoy me again because every morning, I walk into the classroom complaining about him. However, they have no idea what actually happened this morning.I shake my head, still baffled. “He didn’t show me his usual grumpiness for the first time since I moved

    Alex’s P.O.V.I’m returning home with Stella sitting beside me, and I can’t take the image of her out of my mind. On the court, she had tied her shirt around her waist, revealing her toned stomach and the way her tank top clung to her body. The sight was captivating, and I found myself struggling to concentrate on the road.Usually, Stella dresses in long dresses or jeans and tops that cover her up. I don’t know why she covers herself so much. She has such a sexy figure.Control yourself, Alex. Don’t forget, she is your stepsister. Stop thinking about her body and concentrate on the road.It’s shocking that, for the first time, I wasn’t angry at seeing someone else winning. Instead, I felt happy to see Stella jumping with joy after winning the basketball match.God! Seriously, there is something wrong with me.“I never thought that I would say this to you, but thank you, Alex. I enjoyed it a lot today.” As she places her hand on my bare arm, I freeze. Her mere touch sends a jolt of el

I was expecting you to take me somewhere else.” I blurt out.He raises an eyebrow. “Oh, really? Well, I guess my tour is off to a bad start, then.”I smirk, leaning back in my seat. “Not bad, just... predictable.”He turns off the engine and faces me. “Trust me, I have a few surprises up my sleeve. Just because you’ve been here doesn’t mean you’ve done it in my way.”I shoot him a sceptical look. “You’re really hyping this up. It better be good.”He chuckles, stepping out of the car. “Just wait.”I follow him as we walk through the familiar plaza. It’s still crowded, even early in the morning, but Alex seems to know exactly where he’s going.“Come on.” He gestures for me to follow as we head toward a line of food stalls I hadn’t noticed the last time I was here.

Not even liking her company, I’m doing things with her that I never did with any girl before.I used to take them to my bedroom, not to my favourite spots, making them sit in my car.But Stella isn’t the type of woman I slept with. She is different. Also, if I want to take her to my bed, I can’t. She’s my stepsister. A forbidden fruit.For the first time in my life, I like a woman.

Why the fuck she has a boyfriend?Stella shifts beside me, her fingers tapping lightly on her knee. “Why match practice all of a sudden?” She asks, trying to break the silence. Her voice is low, but I can hear the slight disappointment behind it.Yesterday only, I decided to make things normal between us, but her boyfriend is again forcing me to go back to how things were earlier. How can I act normal when every time I see her, I’m reminded she’s with someone else?“I don’t know.” I shake my head, keeping my eyes forward. “It’s just the coach is riding me hard about the upcoming game.”“Okay...” she trails off, sounding unconvinced.I can feel her looking at me, probably wondering why I’m acting like this all of a s

Their names are inspired by ours—Ella, taken from Stella’s name, with her golden eyes resembling her mommy’s, and Lexi, from mine, with hazel eyes just like mine. Honestly, it feels like it was just yesterday when I held them in my arms for the first time. They’re growing up so fast that sometimes I feel like pausing the time and cherishing every little moment. Sitting on the sand by the beach, Ella and Lexi laugh in unison as their mother dances crazily in front of them to make them smile, giving me the perfect moment to capture their photo. They look adorable, as always, in their matching onesies and white caps. My little flowers. And their mother, my flower—she isn’t any less stunning. The way she moves with no care in the world and her laughter rings out over the sound of the waves is mesmerising. She is dressed up in a white summer dress, and her hair sways in the breeze, adding to her b

Every movement feels like an effort. This month is getting so difficult, but I try to remind myself it’ll be worth it when I finally meet our mini-versions.Alex looks up at me, concern etched in his features as he kneads the arch of my foot. “You okay, Flower? You’ve been so quiet.”I let out a sigh, leaning back against the pillows as I close my eyes for a moment. “It’s just... everything feels so heavy now, Alex. I feel like I’m going to burst sometimes.”He pauses before lifting my foot to give it a soft kiss. “You’re doing amazing, Stella. Just a little longer and we’ll have our mini versions here. And then I’ll be there with you every step of the way.”I’m exhausted, but hearing him say that makes everything feel a little easier. “You know I’m so lucky to have you.” I give him a smile.He slides h

It was our choice to marry on the same day, but it was God’s choice to make us pregnant together. But I’m loving it. Getting pregnant with your bestie is another kind of fun.We laugh as we compare cravings, complain about swollen feet, and talk about our husbands, who bear our mood swings without a single complaint.“You know,” I say between laughs, “my babies only get active when Alex kisses me or when we…” I pause with a smirk, lowering my voice, “You know… when we have sex.”Zoe rolls her eyes. “Lucky you! My baby stays active all the time. I feel them moving all day long.” She rubs her belly with an exaggerated sigh. “And guess what? They’re active even now.”I chuckle, shaking my head. “Well, they’re definitely taking after their mommy—always energetic and never sitting still.”Zoe narrows her eyes in horror and turns her attention to her bump, caressing it. “No, no, lit

Our eyes filled with desire are fixed on each other.I lay her down gently on the bed and stand in front of her before pulling off my shirt. Her gaze grows darker as she watches me, biting her lips in anticipation.As I climb above her, placing my hands on either side of her, her fingers trace my bare chest. “Still can’t believe it—you’re my husband. So damn perfect and hot.”“This hot and perfect man is all yours, Flower.” As I tug the blue ribbon from her hair, her hair tumbles loose, framing her face. She lies beneath me, looking absolutely stunning with a smile on her face.“Yes, mine.” Her eyes glint as her hands slide down to my jeans. When her hand slips inside and squeezes me over my boxers, a groan escapes my throat.“Fuck, Stella.” I clutch the ribbon in my hand as she boldly takes the le

She’s glowing, looking more beautiful than ever. It’s not just the warm sunlight or the way her hair dances in the breeze—it’s the life growing inside her. Not one, but two mini versions of us, created from our love. She’s wearing a simple white crop top paired with a long blue skirt, but she looks ethereal.“You’re staring again,” she says with a smile, her free hand resting on her bare, rounded belly.I grin, shaking my head. “What can I do, Stella? Even before your pregnancy, I couldn’t take my eyes off you. But now…” I glance at her baby bump as I add, “now you’re even more breathtaking. This glow, this beauty—it’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen.”As she looks down at her belly, her smile fades slightly. “And here I feel like crying most days because nothing fits me anymore. Not a single piece of clothing!” She pouts at me.I sto

I’ve seen how happy she is these days—how he makes her feel safe and cherished, just like Alex does for me. I’m truly glad that Mom has finally found a life partner who will always treat her with the love and care she deserves.Alex and I settle in the front row, sitting next to Henry’s sons, Sebastian and Xavier. They greet us with polite smiles.I fix my eyes on the altar, and tears of joy gather in my eyes as I watch her. I’ve never seen her look so full of hope and happiness.

There’s an energy about her—a spark in her eyes I haven’t seen in years.As we sit around the table, eating the pasta she made, she clears her throat. I glance up and catch the slight nervousness in her expression.“There’s something I’ve been thinking to tell you both,” she finally speak up, her eyes swaying between me and Alex.I pause, my fork midway to my mouth. “Mom, what is it?”She sets her fork down and looks at me with a smile. “About a month ago, I reconnected with someone from my past… my college sweetheart.”My fork clatters onto my plate as I sit up straighter. “Your college sweetheart?”Mom nods, her cheeks tinged with a blush. “Yes. His name is Henry. We had to separate because my parents forced me to marry your father. But now…” She pauses, her eyes shining with a mix of emotions. “Now we’ve found each other again. He’s single, I’m single, and… we’ve been spending time together. It’s been wonderful.”I glance at

She helped me find myself again and stood strong, even though I know she herself was healing from the trauma of taking someone’s life.Her mother protected Stella by ensuring her name didn’t come up during the police investigation. She lied, claiming that she hit my father in self-defence, which ultimately led to his death.Even though he was a monster, it’s been hard for Stella to accept that she killed someone. But during this time, we’ve become each other’s strength.We’re now living in an apartment I bought near our college. All of my father’s properties were in my name, but I donated them to charity. I didn’t want to keep anything that belonged to that man. However, I kept the beach house because it’s close to my heart. That place has always given me some kind o

For so long, I’ve waited to hear those words from her lips.Suddenly, all my pain disappears, and the only thing I feel is immense satisfaction. Stella’s confession means so much to me. It means she is finally ready to give me her heart completely. She trusts me. She is giving love a second chance.I stop walking, frozen in the moment. All the darkness, the guilt, the fear—it’s still there, but her words make it bearable.I glance down at her in my arms. Did she really say it? Or is my mind playing tricks on me?Carefully, I lower her to the soft sand near the water, the waves lapping gently at the shore, their sound as peaceful as always.I cup her face in my hands, brushing her cheeks with my thumbs. “Say it again, Please, Stella. Say it again.” I request, fixing my eyes on her.Her eyes are filled with immense affection, and she sm
