Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 43. Hyacinth's Grandmother
*** Hyacinth *** I warmly greeted Mr. Jeffrey Charles, Anthony’s father. I haven’t met him personally since he was always on vacation to catch up with his wife. The man looked so much like Anthony despite his wrinkled face and white hair. “Is it alright if my husband is present?” I asked. “It’s fine, babe. I can wait outside.” Raven said but I reached his hand. Somehow, I feel a little scared but Raven was there during my ups and downs. Then, there’s Patricia who will hear all of these soon. He sat down next to me as Mr. Jeffrey pressed his lips. “It’s a pleasure to meet you Hyacinth. You indeed looked like your mother.” “Thank you,” I somehow felt anxious but Jeffrey took out his tablet. “I had all of your mother's files.” I took it and opened the first file. I had read some of it but I haven’t gone through all of their messages through videos of their messages to me. Georgina Af Forselles and Eevi Af Forselles. I went through a few notes. Where there are photos of my mother

*** Hyacinth ***We arrived back at the mansion after we dropped Patricia off at her apartment. On our way to her apartment, she told me that she would be resigning from her current job and searching for a higher offer. I support her decision. She already sent out the resignation, and she’s currently turning over a few things. It’s just a coincidence that we will go to Finland on a private jet.“Mom!” I rushed to Darcy and hugged her. She hugged me back and kissed my cheeks.“Hello, gorgeous.”“Wow,” I looked around the mansion. “It’s beautiful!”“Do you like it?” She asked. "I know you don’t like to decorate a lot, but I called out a team to do it for the whole mansion. However, we will decorate the Christmas tree for ourselves.”“Wow,” I gaped at the decorations. I know it’s expensive and there’s a big Christmas tree. “Wait, is that a real pine tree?” I asked as Dacry grinned.“Yes, my dear. I had it shipped.” She said proudly. “And the pine trees in the garden will be decorated tom

*** Hyacinth ***To my dearest Hyacinth,I know that I failed to take you from your father. But before I even die, I want to secure everything for you.The acres of land and the cabin is under your mother’s name and you are the sole heir. However, I want you to know that you can’t sell the house. The house was a treasure to me and to our family. If ever you want to rebuild the house, please make sure that you have checked each of the doors. Our family treasure is hidden inside.Your grandfather did his best to protect it from people who wanted to purchase our land. We found peace in this cabin and this land. I hope you’ll take care of it, my dear Hyacinth. My sweet little flower.I love you and even though I am not around, please promise me to always protect yourself.I gaped at my grandmother’s message. A hidden treasure? Could it be a family heirloom? I haven’t toured it all well and there could be hidden doors. But I need to get there right away before Christmas.“I got my passport

*** Raven *** I had my wife’s phone connected to mine. All of the messages and emails are cloned to my phone. When she left, I made sure to check her messages. And even though I blocked that number, I still received it in real time. She’s not focused on her phone. She’s more focused on shopping. I intercepted another message. Her photo in a flowy dress. She looked gorgeous, of course and it might show some skin but she placed a jacket over her shoulders at that time and this bastard sent messages. You look fucking hot in this dress, Hyacinth. But you look happy. But I guess I will just have to touch myself while you are undressing and touching yourself. This boiled my head as I nearly smashed it. But I have to delete it. I must. Hyacinth can’t know. She must go on with her days like they were nothing. I don’t want her to worry. I don’t want her to break down. As soon as possible, I want to keep it a secret until we get this guy. Or until we learned his identity. “This little fu

*** Raven ***I watched them board the private jet that I own and use for my business trips. Before they boarded, I gave her a lot of kisses on her face, lips, and neck. That’s when I saw a glimpse of Patricia and Zian, who cringed at us. It’s funny to see that our best friends had the same look at the same time. “Get back safely,” I told her and held her hand tightly. Although I don’t want her to leave, I must let her do whatever she wants. Zian, Patricia, and Penny are with her anyway together with Seth. “Two weeks. If you don't get back at that time, I’ll be coming there.” “Okay,” “Come on, let’s go for Pete’s sake!” Penny exclaimed as Hyacinth waved at me and she boarded the plane with them. I let out a sigh and checked my phone to see where her phone was cloned to mine. There were no new messages for now.I hopped into my car and stopped when Calisto sneaked into the jet before it closed. I sighed and shook my head but I let him. He’s an architect anyway. They can find it out

*** Hyacinth ***A car pulled out in front of the cabin. I headed downstairs and approached the car as a familiar figure hopped out. “Hyacinth?” Eino called as I smiled.“Hey, Eino.”“You are back so quickly.”“Well, we are just checking the cabin.”He approached me and hugged me probably as a greeting and I patted his back.“Sorry,” He stepped back. “Well, I just missed you and Granny missed you a lot as well.”“Oh,” I somewhat felt awkward. “Uhm, these are my friends. You already met Cal,”“Hey,” Cal shook his hand.“Then, this is Patricia, Penny, and Zian.”“I’m Eino, a pleasure to meet you all. I live nearby and if you guys have no place to stay, my house is open.”“Wow, that’s so sweet.” Penny grinned. “But we already had a reservation and we can’t cancel it. Thank you so much, Eino.”“Uh, sure.” Eino nodded. “But really, my house is open for everyone.”I don’t think that I could live in someone else’s house and although they had a perfect accommodation, Raven doesn’t like Eino

*** Raven ***I froze when I saw a silhouette by the door while I checked on my sleeping wife. I stared at it for a long time until I realized that it didn’t belong to any of my friends.“Hyacinth!” I called as the man strode fast and hung up. I tried to call Hyacinth but I was unable to reach her phone. I called Zian but he’s not answer. I called Cal and their phones are damn. That’s when I called Patricia who answered.“Go back to your room, now!” I shouted.“What’s wrong?” Patricia got up.“There’s a man in your room!” I hissed as they all rushed to the door. It was messy on the screen but when they entered, I watched as Patricia focused the phone on the bedroom. They turned all of the lights and the balcony door was open.“Hmm, what’s going on?” Hyacinth asked as she rubbed her eyes. She reached for the phone and looked at me. “Hmm, Raven?” She creased her brows. “What’s going on?”“I’ll secure the footage.” I heard Zian from the background.“Babe, what’s going on?” She asked as s

*** Hyacinth *** I watched the last message of my grandmother and this time, I had doubts about the Hekkinen, however, they never treated me badly. Eino is so sweet and caring. But I don’t blame my husband if he had other thoughts. If ever Eino liked me as a woman, I can’t stop him. It’s his choice but I can’t respond to that. I don’t even know how to confront him with his feelings although he shows signs. I ignored it. I am afraid that I’ll get embarrassed if I ever confront him. But whatever, and my grandmother’s message made me think hard. “Hyacinth, I have a sweet neighbor who is old money rich. But I want you to know that they are kind to me and to our family. Please promise me, no matter what you won’t sell the properties to them or anyone. This is our family heirloom. I trust you on this. You’ll also find our treasure by the walls and underground. I hope that you’ll secure the heart of our land. I love you, always.” I paused the video as I crossed my arms and looked at my b

Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 138. What's She's Willing to Risk
–Hyacinth–I planned it to be in Switzerland. Patricia always wanted to go there. So we made it. Raven and I decided to let them go wherever they want. While he and I stayed in our hotel room to make love. I promised him. That we would go crazy in bed once he’s fully recovered. It’s still his birthday week. Besides, my husband is all that matters now. I may not be able to give him children but this one happiness… maybe it’ll fill up his wants. “I am loving your body, right now.” He said while admiring me on a fitted dress that I put on for our afternoon walk. We’ll be meeting them in the restaurant that they found a few blocks from our hotel. “Really? I think I am fatter than before.” I approached her as he caressed my curves. “Oh, these… mama mia!” He grinned. I laughed and pushed his hair forward. “Let’s go. I want to eat and also enjoy this place.” “Okay, okay.” He bounced his head. “I don’t want my wife to get hungry. Hungry wife, disaster life.” He said as playfully as I sma
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 137. Protecting Him
–Hyacinth–I quickly tucked the letter away, my fingers trembling slightly as I realized it could ruin the night for Raven. No, not tonight. Not on his birthday. I stepped outside, handed the bouquet to a passing housekeeper with a grateful smile, and whispered, "Thank you," before rushing back in.And the letter? I buried the storm of emotions twisting inside me. Because this isn’t just about me anymore. This time, I’m protecting him. I’m protecting Raven.The door burst open from the bathroom. “Love!” Raven called out, his voice bright and boyish.I turned with a soft smile. “Yes?”He peeked his head around the doorframe with that mischievous grin of his. “I was thinking… quick party, then make love?”I laughed, arching a brow. “You’re not fully recovered yet. So, we can’t—unless~”“Yeah, yeah,” he grumbled, waving a hand. “I know. No more food poisoning, I swear.”“Mmhmm,” I hummed, unconvinced.He walked over, draping himself across the bed. “So, who knocked earlier?”I avoided h

–Hyacinth–I sighed, stomach churning. Ugh, probably too much soda. I rushed to the bathroom, hoping it would pass. That’s when it hit me—I hadn’t gotten my period.I froze, hand instinctively reaching for my chest. Tender. Really tender.“Oh, shit,” I muttered. “Am I pregnant… or is this just PMS?”No. Couldn’t be. I stopped taking the pill, yeah, but Raven had a low sperm count and we always used condoms… right?“This is just PMS,” I told myself, firm. “Just premenstrual weirdness. Totally normal. Nothing to see here.”I cleaned myself up and was just reaching for toilet paper when Raven knocked.“Come on, babe!” he called.I opened the door just enough to peek out.“I’m not feeling great,” I said, nudging him inside. “Your turn.”He rushed past me like a man on a mission. “Thanks! But hey, we still have places to be, remember?”“Yeah, yeah,” I said with a laugh.The door shut, and a groan came from inside.“You okay in there?” I asked, amused. “Want me to get you some medicine?”“Y
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 135. Europe R18
Hyacinth I’ve always dreamed of touring Europe, and now, with our budget secured, we finally could. The private jet made the trip hassle-free, and as we stepped onto foreign soil, I intertwined my fingers with my husband’s. But he brushed my hand away, handing me my purse instead. I pouted, only for him to secure his own bag across his chest before resting a firm hand on my waist. My irritation melted into a grin when he winked at me. “So, this is the surprise birthday trip you planned for me?” he asked. “Yes,” I confirmed. “I would’ve preferred it if we were alone, you know.” His grin turned wicked as he wiggled his brows. “Locked in our room for days—lazy, indulgent, just us. I’d never get tired of that.” “But I would,” I shot back, squinting up at him. “It’s bad for me.” He laughed as I did, then pushed open the door to the first café we spotted. The place wasn’t crowded, but the rich aroma of coffee and pastries was intoxicating. My eyes locked onto the cinnamon Dani

–Patricia–I had invited Anthony with Hyacinth’s approval, and they unexpectedly showed up together. I was surprised that Hyacinth had brought our favorite yogurt set, while Raven handed me the apple container.“You can eat all of that since you’re single,” Raven remarked with a pitying look. It was irritating, but I had to endure his constant jibes—after all, my best friend was paying me to tolerate his face.I put the yogurt in the fridge, only to be interrupted by a hand that appeared behind me, placing something next to it. I turned, nearly colliding noses with the newcomer. He quickly raised his hand and apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.”“No, it’s fine,” I replied with a grin. “You’re not trying to flirt with me, are you?” I teased.“What if I am?” he shot back, laughing and nodding.“You’ll have to ask my best friend’s permission first,” I quipped.He chuckled and patted my arm. “Sure thing. By the way, I have some questions,” he said, extending his arm. I gracefu
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 133. Unspoken Oath
***Raven*** Rosie had put on quite the show. After days of comforting my wife and convincing her not to blame herself, it seemed to be working—somewhat. But I needed to double down. I had to find that last copy and destroy it, especially now that my wife was gaining fame. Maybe we should stop attending galas altogether. “Why are you packing so much?” I asked as she counted a few items. “We’re off to Europe,” she replied casually. “Babe, we’re not going to Finland again,” I teased. “I didn’t say Finland,” she said, rolling her eyes. “I have work.” “You can work from there. Besides, I made sure the jet is packed.” She winked and held up a piece of lingerie—tempting, to say the least. “Wow, second honeymoon?” I approached her, but she raised a finger to stop me, carefully placing the lingerie into the luggage. “Now I remember—our anniversary is coming up,” I said, walking around her and pulling her waist toward me. “Are you planning to make love to me?” “No way!

Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 132. Suicide
–Raven–As soon as I answered his call, the first thing I heard was his heavy breathing.“I will kill her. I will kill Hyacinth,” Samuel said, as though Hyacinth wasn’t his daughter. His words sent chills down my spine. Even his own flesh and blood—he wanted her dead.“Killing Hyacinth won’t do you any good, Samuel,” I replied, keeping my tone casual.“She said something to Rosie. She must have. Now, tell me—what else did she say to Rosie?”I frowned.“I have no idea what you’re talking about. And whatever Hyacinth said must be true.”“I will end you both!”I sighed and hung up, immediately calling Samuel’s nurse. She answered after a few moments.“What’s going on in there?” I asked.“Unfortunately, Miss Rosie sent a message. She tried to overdose on pills. She’s currently in the emergency room.”I was silent for a moment, processing the news. Rosie—always desperate for attention. No, she wasn’t just seeking attention; she was demanding it. Just earlier, she had threatened Hyacinth, v
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 131. Fire
—Stalker’s Point of View—Smelling her, touching her—it almost drove me insane. But it wasn’t just her that consumed me. It was something our family was meant to possess. Her mother was perfect. The epitome of intelligence. A woman who had it all, despite being a commoner, not royalty. Yet everyone wanted her as their daughter-in-law. A genius in everything… except love. “I was thinking that maybe Hyacinth was also a victim of love.” I stood, pacing around my desk, glancing at the piles of recently filed cases. Boring paperwork, but necessary. Even the bomb incident was just another file to clean up. I hadn’t meant to kill anyone—just to isolate her. If everyone around her was gone, taking her would be effortless. But no matter how many times I tried, they clung to her. Maybe I should ruin her relationship with Darcy. “How do I do that?” My fingers tapped against the windowsill as I watched Hyacinth step out of her apartment across the street, her bodyguards trailing like
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 130. Turmoil
–Hyacinth— I was certain she intended to become my husband’s mistress. Proposing in front of me? Bold. But I had seen Raven flinch multiple times. That woman—Minerva—sat across from him, her foot subtly grazing his ankle, then sliding higher, testing his restraint. Raven’s discomfort was palpable. His glare could have scorched her where she sat. When our orders arrived, I draped my hand possessively over his lap. He shifted under my touch, but I only leaned closer, crossing my legs to shield him from Minerva’s advances. Let her try. “If you want, you can visit the site with us,” Colton offered. “Are we hiking, or…?” I trailed off, waiting. “Fly. We’ll fly,” Dane cut in, grinning. “I’ll be your pilot.” Raven’s hand settled on my thigh, a silent claim. “Let me taste that,” he murmured, nodding toward my tuna. Without hesitation, I fed him a bite, rice and all. Colton groaned. “Oh, come on! I don’t want to be a third wheel here.” I smirked. “Minerva’s here. You don’t
