Alex My stepsister, whom I thought would hate her, but she became the one and only person whom I desire deeply. *** "No. Flower, you're not ugly. If you could see yourself through my eyes, you'd understand how beautiful and desirable you are." I hold her face in my hands again, pulling her closer. "You're lying, Alex. You treated me horribly at first because you thought I was ugly too." She’s not ready to hear my words, lost in the pain caused by that asshole boyfriend of hers.

Even though my parents’ marriage wasn’t great and I grew up watching them yell at each other, I still can’t accept the idea of someone else taking my mother’s place. How am I supposed to just welcome this woman and her daughter into my life? Just like that?Although I usually love driving, today I’m sitting in the passenger seat of the Range Rover, letting the driver handle it.

Stella’s P.O.V.My stepbrother is so fucking rude!He spoiled my mood. I was so excited to explore New York City. It’s the first time I’ve stepped out of my hometown, Ibiza, and I thought this would be an amazing start. But no, Alex—the guy with hazel eyes and brown hair—ruined everything with his attitude. All I did was ask him for a tour, trying to break the ice, and he snapped at me as I asked for his life savings.“What’s his problem? Is it because I’m his stepsister? Or is he just an asshole to everyone?” I murmur to myself, rolling my eyes.I’ve only known him for a few hours, and I already can’t stand him.Now, I just pray I never meet him again, but we’re going to live in the same house. It’s quite impossible to avoid him. God! Please save me from him.I was looking forward to exploring this city, but now all I can think about is how I’m stuck living under the same roof with him.

As I lie there, my eyes finally starting to close, I hear it—a loud, pounding beat of music vibrating through the walls.I sit up, groaning. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”The music is coming from the room right next to mine.Shit! Is that Alex’s room? Of course, it has to be him. My luck can’t be that bad, can it? But there it is, blasting through the walls, rattling my nerves. How the hell am I supposed to sleep with this loud noise?Fuck my life! This day can’t be more bad.I throw off the blankets and storm out of my room before heading straight for his door. I knock—hard—hoping that he’ll at least be decent enough to answer.Why God, why are you doing this with me? I don’t want to face that grumpy man, but you’re forcing me to deal with him again. For what sins are you punishing me?The door swings open, and my eyes widen. Alex stands there shirtles

Alex’s P.O.V. Murder! I want to murder my stepsister. I’m still fuming from last night. Stella—my ill-mannered step-sister—threw my stereo into the pool like it was nothing. Who does that? That girl is out of her mind. Last night, I planned to take revenge on her for ruining my shoes. I didn’t want to let her sleep in peace, but she again did something—for which I want to kill her more now. My arm still stings where she bit me. I can’t believe she actually did that. I didn’t expect her to get so... wild. Who does that? Is she a kid or what? Now, I’m not going to leave a single chance to piss her off. I won’t let her live in peace in my house for even a single second. She doesn’t know I’m Alex Blackwood, and I won’t tolerate the way she is behaving with me.

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?

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.

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.

Say it again.” I request, fixing my eyes on her.Her eyes are filled with immense affection, and she sm

Stella’s P.O.V.“Please don’t regret for a second for killing that monster, Stella. You’ve freed your mother from the unbearable pain. You have no clue how relieved I am. Thank you.” My mom expresses her gratitude when I lie her down on the bed at night in one room of Alex’s beach house.After my mother was discharged, nobody wanted to return to the place where we used to live with that monster. My mom has so many painful memories tied to that house, and I killed the monster there. Alex didn’t want any of us to be anywhere near a place haunted by his memories.

Forbidden Flames: Steamy Series Chapter 58 You’re Not Your Father
Alex’s P.O.V.The next morning, I’m still seated in the waiting room of the hospital. Stella and I spent the entire night here, though sleep was a stranger. The load of everything that’s happened is suffocating me. I’m still trying to digest that my father was a monster who caused suffering to Stella’s mother. It’s like a nightmare to me.“I can completely understand what you’re going through, Alex.” Sky breaks the silence. He sits beside me. Stella is with Zoe and Selena inside her mother’s room.I know he can feel my pain because, a few months ago, he also discovered the evil deeds of his father. Since then, he’s been working tirelessly day and night to become stronger than him so that he can put his father behind bars.I glance at him with sorrowful eyes. “How did you do it, Sky? I mean, how did you even begin to understand the fact that your own father was… like this? I don’t know how to move forward from here. You know I feel like I’m stuck, drowning in shame.”Sky leans forward,
Forbidden Flames: Steamy Series Chapter 57 Feel So Lost
Alex’s P.O.V.I feel so lost. Completely lost.When the doctor informed us about the condition of Stella’s mother, I felt like killing my father. How could he torture someone to this extent? Why couldn’t I ever see his true face?Before Stella’s mother, did he torture other women? Did he also hurt my mother?My chest tightens with immense pain as I sit outside Stella’s mother’s hospital room, lost in thought. How can I face Olivia, knowing that I carry the blood of the man who hurt her? How am I supposed to promise her I’ll keep Stella safe when my father inflicted so much pain on her? Will she ever be able to trust me?I stare at the floor, fists clenched, and try to steady my breathing. Thoughts revolve endlessly around my mind: Did I somehow miss the signs? Have I been blind to my father’s true nature all my life?The truth is, I don’t know who he is anymore. I don’t know who I am anymore. And worse, I don’t know how I’ll prove to Olivia that I’m not like my father—that I would rat

That truth has shaken him deeply.On one hand, my heart aches for him, and on the other, for my mother, who has been suffering for who knows how long. Why did God make her endure the same pain she had in the past? Why didn’t she tell me?Alex’s hands are clenched tightly in his lap, and his jaw is tense, as though he’s fighting an internal battle. I can’t blame him. He would have never imagined his father would be a monster.This entire ordeal has taken so much out of both of us. But for Alex, I know it’s different. His world has been turned upside down in a way I can’t even begin to imagine.I glance at him, his face pale and his eyes distant, as if he’s locked away somewhere I can’t reach.

I keep praying in my mind that she’s alright.I head straight to her room, but she’s not there. I check everywhere—the bathroom, the balcony—but she’s nowhere in sight. The constant beeping from my watch only makes my heartbeat race with anxiety.What happened to her? She looked so happy when she walked into the house. How could things go wrong in just a few minutes?“Stella…” Desperately, I call her name as I step out of her room, but there’s no response.When I reach the door of her mother’s room, I stop, noticing Stella’s bag lying on the floor just outside.I wonder what her bag is doing here.Then I push the door open and step inside.

Stella’s P.O.V. "Can we have the same sandwich we had last time, please?" I ask as he opens my door and I step out. “No.” He denies it, shutting the door close. I look at him in shock. “Why?” He lets out a laugh, tapping my nose. "I was just kidding, Stella. Of course, we can have that sandwich. Today, whatever you want, we'll do. It's your day, my love." “Who could’ve thought that the Mr Grumpy would get so sweet one day.” I pull his cheeks, causing him to chuckle. “Now I’m yours Mr NMG.” He leans in and pecks on my cheek, making me grin. Then we head inside and eat sandwiches from the stall. My birthday is already going so amazingly. First, I woke up to my room decorated with so many gifts—it felt like a dream. And now, these delicious sandwiches! Wow! As we finish our sandwiches, Alex takes my hand and guides me towards the ice rink.

Why didn’t you tell me?”“Because it was a surprise for you, Alex.” She pouts at me.I shake my head in disbelief. “You’re planning something for me on your birthday? Unbelievable.”“You deserve it.” She locks her eyes filled with profound love on me. “You’ve done so much for me, Alex. I want this birthday to be about us.”I glance over, feeling like I’m falling for her all over again. “You know, you’re amazing.”She reaches over and squeezes my hand. “Then just wait. Tomorrow will be unforgettable—for both of us. And you won’t stop praising me.”“I’m quite excited now. But what about the surprise I’ve planned for you?” I raise my brows at her.“Your surprise?” She taps her finger on her chin thoughtfully, which brings a smi

The betrayal of her ex-boyfriend has left deep scars on her which take time to heal. She is trying so hard to move on and give a second chance to love. And now, because of my lie, she’s reliving that pain.I’m such an idiot.As I reach the parking lot, I spot her near her car. She’s standing there, her arms wrapped around herself, her eyes moist. She looks small and vulnerable. My heart aches at the sight.I just rush towards her and embrace her tightly into my arms. “I’m so fucking sorry, Flower. Trust me, I had no intention of hurting you.” I apologise, pulling her closer to me.“I trust you, Alex. In fact, I’m sorry for doubting you in the first place.”A smile flashes across my face at her words, and I pull her back
