Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 51. Desperate Stalker
*** Raven *** The bastard was too cowardly to call me. I doubted that this number was from the US, but I know well that this bastard could be a hacker. He could hack into Hyacinth’s cameras. It worries me so much. I must secure a protective spot where we could hide the server and the lines for the CCTV in Finland. Building a mansion would probably take years. It was only a mini-mansion with a wide lawn. Not as big as Hekkinen’s mansion. But it’s up to Hyacinth anyway. “This is possible.” David said. “An underground? We could do that. For now, I will check with Cal the expansion and on how deep we will dig.” “I want cameras around the house. Something that’s impossible to hack. I don’t trust anyone in that place.” “Hmm, you are right. Although Hyacinth’s neighbors are friendly, you have the right to doubt.” He reached his temple. “You are more in a stressful situation than I am.” “Why? What’s going on?” “Since we found the body, Janice invited me to the hearing. This is bad. Alt

*** Zian *** I watched Seth momentarily fighting with the man wearing all back from head to tall when we arrived in the backyard. He’s tall and bulky and the physique seems familiar. When the man sees us, he pushes Seth hard and dashes off. I didn’t think twice about running after that bastard while Seth scooped up the unconscious Hyacinth on the grass.“Take care of her!” I shouted and ran fast to catch up with that bastard. He seemed to know the surroundings and he stopped multiple times to watch me catch up. I couldn’t see his other features since it was getting dark and it was darker in the woods.I stopped running and stared at him for a long time. “You really wanted to play, huh?” I asked. “You messed up with the wrong woman,” I said aloud. “Raven loves her and that means that we love her. We will fucked up your life.” The man only glanced at me and then he left. I didn’t turn my back. Not yet, that bastard might hit me. But with his features, he’s taller than Raven and me. I

*** Hyacinth *** I know that it was probably dangerous to go back. But on my land, we installed more security cameras. I don’t know where they put the main server but there were post lights that were installed by the contractor that Raven hired. And now, we were searching for the insides and what we found astonished me. Under the floor of the kitchen, we found a misaligned tile that was twenty-four-by-twenty-four. That’s when I checked it and removed the carpet. Stupid me. I only search around the room and not in the kitchen. The kitchen is the last place that we will be searching and grandma just hid it right. We found a tunnel and went downstairs. That’s where I found a mini living room with shelves of something… I turned on the lights and there I found a collection of antiques. “Hyacinth?” Cal called out. “Did you just make us work out with a sledgehammer?” “Yeah!” I chuckled. “Come down, now.” “Woah,” Cal exclaimed and he sneezed. “We should probably wear masks and remove a

*** Hyacinth *** I found a small wooden chest with my name on top of it. A letter? It was covered with plastic and over the plastic was dust. While everyone was helping with placing the items on the storage boxes that we bought from the hardware store, I was helping with clearing a few things that we don’t need. We will be taking it with us back to the Philippines as soon as I sorted out what to do with all of those things. But then, we are not done finding out my family treasure. It was Raven’s first day to be with us and he mostly worked during that time. Then, when we arrived in our hotel room, Raven arranged another room just for the two of us. “You didn’t sleep.” I said and noticed the dark circles under his eyes. “I’m sorry, Raven.” “Why are you apologizing?.” I reached his face and sighed. “I am using the skincare set that Kelly gave me and I will use it for you later. For now, I will prepare the bathtub with a bubble bath.” He bent down and scooped my chin. He already n

*** Hyacinth *** I cleaned up the surrounding of the wooden chest and I placed it in front of me as I took out the paper from the plastic. I opened it up and stared at the bank accounts under my name and the thick paper with my name under it. “What is this?” I mumbled. It was all in Finnish language and there’s this logo on top. Rubiinin Valtakunta. “I need to learn my language correctly.” I handed it to Raven as he creased his brows. “Babe, this is your share to the Ruby Empire. You are one of the stockholders with 2 percent.” “Oh, shit. Is it big?” I asked. “Yeah, hella big. Billions. Ruby Empire is an old money rich. You are richer than I am.” Raven grinned. Was he proud? “If I know that my grandmother is this rich, I would’ve been here and taken over my share.” “This is probably why your father is keeping you away.” Raven leaned. “Your lawyer is still at Charles’s law firm but we can get you more lawyers.” “This is my family treasure that they’ve been keeping in a humble c

*** Hyacinth *** Butler Jussi was waiting for us at the entrance. He opened the car door for us as our gentlemen came out first and Raven extended his hand to me and even placed a hand under the roof of the car. We are only wearing a semi-formal dress. “Hyacinth!” Eino approached us with his arms wide open and I smiled at him. He shook Raven’s hand and hugged him briefly and then to me. He also did the same to Patricia and Cal. “Where’s Pen and Zian?” He asked. “They are out on a date.” Cal said and chuckled. “We let the two have their alone time.” Which was a lie. Cal is so suave and flawless about it. “I hope that it’s alright? My family wants you to meet Hyacinth.” “Oh, we are curious why?” Raven asked. “Let’s discuss it inside.” Eino kept that gorgeous smile. I then looked at my husband who was serious and in a very businesslike expression. But I don’t know what that really meant. We entered the drawing room where there were people who looked so much like Eino. A lot of th

*** Raven ***My wife seemed to get along with them through their language. She practiced, and she spoke well now, although she wasn't fluent. But she’s still studying their language. During those times, I knew that Eino was so into her. There was one who was trying to seduce Patricia as well, but she would gently turn them down.She doesn't understand much about their language but Patricia could read body language.“I’ll go to the toilet,” I told my wife as she nodded and held my hand.“Do you want me to accompany you?” She muttered. I grinned slowly and it was too late when she realized she said it wrong. “Nah, you are a big boy.”I kissed her cheeks as I headed out of the grand room where everyone gathered and had wine after a big dinner. I went to the nearest toilet and then washed my hand after. When I came out, I stopped when I bumped into Helmi, Eino’s youngest sister with honey-blonde hair. Her lips curled up.“Hi,” She grinned.I nod my head.“Apologies,” I mumbled as I was a

*** Hyacinth ***The snow was falling steadily, each flake drifting through the air with a quiet grace before settling on the ground. The cold wrapped itself around me, sharper than I’d ever felt before, biting at my skin, seeping into my bones. Every breath felt like ice in my lungs, the chill so deep it seemed to crawl beneath my clothes, making my muscles stiff and unresponsive. This wasn’t just cold; it was a sharp, unforgiving kind of cold that seemed to gnaw at everything it touched.Then, there’s Eino. There’s something in his eyes, a flicker I can’t quite place. I don’t know what it is, but the way Eino is looking at me feels… off. It’s almost like he’s going to miss me, but that’s not it. No, there’s something else, something strange, like he’s holding back a secret or waiting for something… a quiet intensity I can’t ignore. I can feel it, but I can't figure out why.“I thought you’d have a great Christmas here in Finland.”“I love snow, but our Christmas is different. But so

Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 107. Taking Cal Away
***Hyacinth***It all happened so quickly, like a whirlwind tearing through our lives. We arrived at the airport to meet the private plane Raven had sent to transport Cal to a specialized facility. The place they chose was renowned for its state-of-the-art care, the best money could buy. Cal was still unconscious, trapped in a coma, and the sight of him lying there, so fragile, was a dagger to my heart. Kelly, too, was suffering, left behind in her own hospital bed. Despite our pleas, Uncle Hayden insisted she remain there, though I couldn’t shake the guilt of leaving her alone.The hospital where Kelly was staying was top-tier, but the facility Cal was being moved to offered even more personalized attention. We ensured he was settled into a VIP suite, with a dedicated nurse monitoring him around the clock. I stood by, watching as they adjusted his IVs and checked his vitals. His eyes fluttered open a few times, only to close again moments later. It was progress, albeit small. He even
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 106. The Scapegoat?
***Kelly***I remember it all too vividly. Cal was driving carefully, his hands steady on the wheel, his eyes focused on the road. But that car—it came out of nowhere, swerving deliberately toward us. Cal’s reflexes were quick. He threw his right arm across me, shielding me as best as he could. But it wasn’t enough. The impact was brutal. Our car slammed into the post on my side, the sound of crunching metal and shattering glass echoing in my ears. I felt the searing pain in my right arm and leg, but it was nothing compared to the horror of seeing Cal’s head hit the windshield with a sickening crack. The glass splintered, and he went limp. “Kelly, I’m so sorry, darling.” My mother’s voice trembled as she reached for my hand, her fingers squeezing mine gently. Her eyes were red-rimmed, her face pale with worry. “Don’t lose hope. Cal’s strong. He’ll pull through. He’ll be out of the ICU soon, I promise.”“I need to see him,” I begged, my voice breaking. “Even if it’s just from the out
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 105. Won't Sit Idly
***Hyacinth***I sat in my swivel chair, my mind racing as I tried to figure out what to do next. My imagination spiraled with ideas on how to catch that *bastard*. Restlessness gnawed at me, and sleep felt impossible. I glanced at my husband, Raven, who was hunched over his computer, laser-focused as he made yet another call. It was well past midnight, and here we were, still tirelessly checking on our friends back in the Philippines.“Raven,” I called out softly. He paused, his fingers hovering over the keyboard, and turned to look at me. Our eyes locked, and for a long moment, we just stared at each other. I opened my mouth to speak, but the words caught in my throat. “Never mind,” I muttered, looking away as I turned back to my laptop. I could feel his gaze lingering on me, heavy with unspoken concern.In that moment, I couldn’t help but wish I had run away with Raven years ago. I wished there were no stalkers, no threats, no shadows lurking in our lives. Why did this person want
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 104. The Twist
***Zian***When we arrived at the hospital, Cal was standing outside the operating room, his arms stained with blood that still dripped onto the floor. Kelly’s parents hadn’t arrived yet, but my concern was entirely on him. His white shirt was soaked in crimson, and his face was pale, his eyes wide and unfocused. He looked shattered, broken in a way I’d never seen before.“Cal,” I called softly as I approached him, my voice trembling with worry. “You’re hurt. We need to get you checked up.”He pushed me away weakly, his hands shaking. His eyes were dilated, his breathing uneven. My heart ached seeing him like this—so lost, so consumed by guilt and fear. “Bro!” I shouted, trying to snap him out of it. “You’re bleeding! You need help!”“She’s in there…” he muttered, his voice barely audible as he pointed toward the operating room. His hand trembled, and he exhaled slowly, as if the weight of the world was crushing him.Before I could say more, I heard the sound of rushing footsteps. Ke
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 103. His Games
***Raven***I forced myself to stay seated during the meeting, even though every fiber of my being screamed to leave. Hyacinth had assured me she was fine, but the unease gnawed at me. My partners and our business dealings were important—crucial, even—but nothing mattered more than my wife. “I’m sorry, but I need to leave immediately. There’s an emergency,” I said, rising from my chair. My voice was steady, but my heart raced.Colton Pines, the first of the three partners I’d met who shared my passion for rare gems, leaned back in his chair, his tone casual. “What’s going on?”“My wife needs me,” I replied, my words clipped.“Wife?” Dane’s head snapped up, his expression a mix of surprise and mock offense. “You got married without inviting us?” His voice rose, and I raised a hand to silence him, my jaw tightening.Minerva, ever the dramatic, rolled her eyes and pushed her fiery red hair back. “Oh, bummer. Guess we’re not important enough for wedding invitations.”“I’ll introduce you
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 102. Even in Other State
***Darcy***I couldn’t help but laugh when Raven and Hyacinth told me how Regina had outsmarted Samuel. It all came rushing back to me now—the reason Samuel married me. It wasn’t love. It was my alimony from my first husband. Samuel was handsome, sure, but not nearly as striking as Raven’s father. He had married Regina for her business acumen, hoping she’d save his failing company. And she did. But what he didn’t know was that Regina had already secured her wealth, transferring most of her assets to her mother and Hyacinth. Hyacinth, my dear girl, is now richer than any of us, thanks to her mother’s foresight. I couldn’t be prouder of Regina for that.But there’s one thing weighing heavily on my heart—proof that Regina’s death wasn’t an accident. Hyacinth needs closure, and I’m determined to help her find it.“Take care, my dear,” I said, waving at the screen as Hyacinth blew me a flying kiss.“Love you, Mom,” Hyacinth replied, her voice soft and sweet. I nodded, a lump forming in my
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 101. To Washington
***Raven***I was pleasantly surprised when my wife greeted me at the door, wearing an adorable apron and a warm smile. She helped me remove my coat and necktie, her hands gentle and efficient. She even made sure I slipped into my home shoes, leaving my dirty ones by the rack until they were clean enough to be stored in our shoe closet. She handed me a damp, hot towel to clean my hands, her touch lingering for a moment longer than necessary. Then, with a playful grin, she led me to the round table near the balcony, where the city lights sparkled like a sea of stars. The soft hum of romantic music filled the air, and the flickering candles added a touch of magic to the scene. Patricia, Seth, and Irene were eating in the dining room, but my wife had prepared something special for just the two of us. She looked stunning in an olive green dress, her hair twisted into a low, messy bun. My mind wandered to all the things I wanted to do with her tonight, but for now, I focused on the momen
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 100. Raven's Sister
**Raven**I’ve always been a man who values loyalty and integrity, which is why the situation with Seth and Patricia has been gnawing at me. I know for a fact that Seth was married, but there’s an undeniable attraction brewing between him and Patricia. As much as I want to stay out of their personal lives, Patricia is like a baby sister to me—spoiled, sharp-tongued, and always two steps ahead of everyone. She’s Hyacinth’s best friend, and I don’t want Hyacinth to worry about her either. So, I’ve decided to keep a close eye on things, even if it means stepping into territory I’d rather avoid.I leaned back in my ergonomic chair, the soft hum of the office filling the silence as I scrolled through the list Hyacinth had sent me. It was all photos—handbags, shoes, and a few pieces of jewelry. My wife has always had an eye for elegance, and I couldn’t help but smile at her impeccable taste. I called for my assistant, who appeared promptly, her heels clicking softly against the polished flo
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 99. Raven's Billionaire Wife
**Raven**Understanding the immense influence Hyacinth’s mother held in the business world only fueled my determination to provide for Hyacinth in every way possible. Her mother’s wealth was hers, not mine, and I respected that boundary. But every penny I earned, every success I achieved, was for Hyacinth. She was my purpose, my driving force. I built my empire not for glory or power, but to ensure she lived a life free from worry, surrounded by the luxury she deserved. Yet, no amount of wealth could erase the pain etched on her face when she spoke of her mother. The emotional scars from her family ran deep, and it pained me to see her cry. Her mother, a brilliant mind who had saved countless companies, had left behind a legacy—and a final message to secure her daughter’s future. It wasn’t just the Charles Law Firm searching for Hyacinth; Sinclair was also in the mix. The weight of it all was overwhelming, but I would shoulder it for her.We left the mansion late that night, after Hy
