Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 55. The Treasures in a Humble Chest
*** 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

*** Hyacinth *** My mother in law was very supportive. She came with a van and two more cars. She’s wearing a sky blue trench coat dress and holding a sky blue mini-kelly. I approached her first and hugged her. She kissed both of my cheeks and greeted Penny and Patricia the same. “Alright, I had reservations and I think the boys will be back in the office after lunch.” “Perfect. Where are we dining?” Penny asked. “The known English Chef? I had a reservation with him.” We gaped and looked at each other. The known English Chef who will be opening a restaurant here. A celebrity Chef known for his English cuss. We squirmed in excitement. He probably had a blog but we are more interested in the food. We hopped into the van quickly and headed to the unopened restaurant. The Chef greeted us and we hugged him. He smelled like steaks and butter. Penny took photos with him with us… and he had a camera ready. “Darcy,” Chef George hugged Darcy. “I had the known Chefs you introduced to me a

*** Hyacinth *** I looked at my best friend’s room where mom set up clothes for her. Darcy was happy, setting up everything for us from clothes to spa schedules and we don’t want to say no. We will get along with whatever dress she wants us to wear. After all, we just want to enjoy ourselves with adorable clothes and whatever event my mother in law wants me to attend. “Now, are you guys ready for our Christmas session? We’ll be walking a lot so we’ll go for flat shoes.” “Are we going to buy a lot of gifts?” I mumbled. “I’ll use my money. Finally!” Darcy laughed at me. “Well, it’s surely my new work.” “Accompanying your best friend until you get tired of her.” I told Patricia who laughed out loud. “I can always hide somewhere in this mansion to recharge.” “Pat, don’t worry. She’ll recharge often when Raven is at home.” They laughed at me as I shook my head. “Hyacinth!” “Oh, there he goes. He’s early.” Darcy said. “Bud, I got something for you.” I am excited for gifts and I
Last Updated : 2025-02-01Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 61. Zian's Mind
*** Zian *** If she only knew that I had a lot of rings prepared to propose to her. I had checked many references and five of them with my own designs that she’ll probably love. I was over the moon with the thought of her saying ‘yes’ but I know that she’ll say ‘no’. However, making her cum made me cum but I quickly pulled out as I had my release. “I wasn’t finished!” She exclaimed and I rubbed her clitoris as she started to come a lot again. “Don’t cum, unless I had a full orgasm.” She’s demanding. Ignoring her demands, I turned off the shower to wash all of it. Then, I took the towel and wrapped her around it. Then, I took her out of the bathroom. “We are not done.” She frowned. “Yeah, we are not. Did you know that having sex in the shower is dangerous? And there’s more. We don’t have a condom and I don’t want to get you pregnant while you want to achieve something.” This woman, really. When she’s too horny she wouldn’t care about anything else. This happened to us last time and

*** Hyacinth ***Shopping sprees are the best when you have a lot of money. I spend my money buying gifts for people close to me. To my best friend’s family, mostly siblings, but I also buy something for her parents. Then, there are also Janice’s parents. I send gifts to them from me and Raven. I haven’t met them personally but heard that Janice’s father wanted her to marry Zian.It only turned out that my hubby is not good enough for Janice which I am glad about. Janice is an independent woman.I also sent out gifts to my father and Rosie. They are family and yeah, whatever. I just want to flaunt my money on their faces. I also did not forget the old maid who had helped me throughout my childhood. Giving her enough cash and a luxury bag.“Wow, you did well in our bedroom,” Raven said and checked the Christmas socks on the window. “Babe, you knew well that no one would fill that up, right?”I raised my brows and sneered at him.“What do you mean? Santa is real.”“Oh,” He nodded. I hop

Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 72. Cuddling in the Dark
*** Hyacinth ***The soft glow of the moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting a serene ambiance in our bedroom. Raven’s arms were wrapped around me, his warmth seeping into my skin as we lay there, basking in the afterglow of our love. His fingers traced lazy patterns on my arm, and I couldn’t help but smile, feeling utterly cherished. Raven made me feel like the most important person in the world, like nothing else mattered when we were together. His love was my sanctuary, a place where I could be completely myself, vulnerable and unguarded.As we made our way downstairs, his hand never left my side, his possessive and tender touch. I loved how he always seemed to need to be close to me as if even the slightest distance was too much. His PJ pants hung low on his hips, and I couldn’t help but admire the way his muscles moved with every step. Raven was effortlessly handsome, his dark hair tousled, his eyes always holding a hint of mischief. But it wasn’t just his looks that ca
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 71. The Guests
*** Raven ***Janice’s unease was palpable, a dark cloud hovering over her usual sharp demeanor. She stood in the corner, her fingers gripping the wine glass like it was the only thing keeping her grounded. My eyes narrowed as I tried to piece together what had shaken her so deeply. The flowers—those damned flowers—were a piece of the puzzle, a clue to the stalker who had been lurking in the shadows. But before I could dig deeper, the door opened, and Anthony and Maggie walked in.Hyacinth greeted them with her usual warmth, but my stomach churned. Their arrival felt... calculated. My plan was unraveling, and I didn’t like it.The evening pressed on, the room filling with laughter and the clinking of glasses. My mother and Hyacinth had outdone themselves with finger snacks and drinks, creating an atmosphere that felt almost too perfect. Eino, ever the social butterfly, was already deep in conversation with my friends, his familiarity with Anthony raising my suspicions. Venla, graceful
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 70. The Flowery Threats
*** Darcy *** As I stood there, holding the bouquet of Hyacinths, my heart sank. The flowers were beautiful, but they carried a weight that made my stomach churn. The note inside the envelope was a stark reminder of the darkness lurking around Hyacinth and Raven. My hands trembled slightly as I unfolded the paper, and the words written there sent a chill down my spine. The sheer malice in the message was overwhelming. *How could someone be so twisted?* I thought, my mind racing. My protective instincts flared—Hyacinth was like a daughter to me, and Raven, though stubborn and reckless, was my son. I couldn’t let anything happen to them.Janice’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. “Auntie? What’s so horrifying?” Her sharp eyes caught the tension in my expression. I tried to brush it off, to shield her from the ugliness of the situation, but Janice was relentless. She was a prosecutor, after all, trained to see through lies and half-truths. When she took the note from me, I felt a mix
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 69. Assumptions
*** Patricia ***The air was thick with unspoken tension as we moved through the mall, a strange undercurrent weaving through our little group. I couldn’t help but notice the subtle shifts in body language, the way Raven’s grip on Hyacinth’s waist tightened whenever Eino leaned in too close, his Finnish words flowing smoothly, almost too familiarly. Bless her heart, Hyacinth seemed oblivious—or maybe she wasn’t. Sometimes, I wondered if she was just playing the part, her face a mask of innocence while her mind worked in ways I couldn’t quite decipher. She was always hard to read, like a book written in a language I only half-understood.Raven, on the other hand, was an open book. His possessiveness was almost comical, his arm a constant anchor around Hyacinth, as if he feared she might float away if he let go. And then there was Venla, her eyes lingering on Raven a little too long, her laughter a little too bright. It was like watching a soap opera unfold in real-time, and I couldn’t
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 68. My Hubby
*** Hyacinth ***I stood there, torn between wanting to invite Eino and the hesitation that kept me from taking that step. It wasn’t that I didn’t want him there—I owed him. He had been kind to us months ago during the typhoon when everything was coming undone. But it wasn’t easy, either. Even though the mansion was technically under my name, I still felt like it wasn’t just mine. It was ours. Raven and mine. And Raven, my husband and provider, was the one who truly made it feel like home. I needed his approval, but I didn’t want to seem too eager.Raven’s voice broke my thoughts, warm and low. "Big purchase, huh," he said, his arms wrapping around my waist, pulling me closer. His lips grazed my earlobe as he whispered, “How about some sexy lingerie?”I froze, feeling his words tickle my skin, but then the heat of embarrassment rushed through me. I quickly covered his mouth, my eyes darting toward Patricia, who was standing behind us. I could feel her cringing, probably disgusted by h
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 67. Eino's Girlfriend
*** Raven ***Eino’s eyes lit up upon seeing me. His face glows with that charming smile that he always flashes on my wife. I smiled at him formally and approached him while Seth followed my wife and Patricia into the store.“Eino, you are here… in the Philippines.”“Yes,” He grinned. “Oh, it’s amazing here during Christmas, just what Hyacinth said. It’s not cold. I mean, for us Finns, it’s practically warm!” He laughed. “I was telling Hyacinth that we have this cozy little condo in the city. It’s perfect for the holidays. But guess, what? My girlfriend, she’s been curious about what Christmas feels like in the Philippines. Can you imagine? No snow, just sunshine,” He looked at his girlfriend as they chorus on the first word. “Warm weather! I think he wants to experience something completely different. But here it’s magical. "I’m glad that you like it here." Eino’s voice was warm, but I couldn't help but wonder if it was genuine. I stole a glance at his girlfriend, trying to place her
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 66. Deleted
*** Hyacinth *** I can’t shake the feeling that something’s off, like the air around me is thick with uncertainty. My eyes keep flicking back to the screen of the phone, where the memory of those photos lingers, elusive. I swear I saw them, a quick flash of images sent by someone I didn’t recognize—someone who clearly wanted me to see them, only for them to vanish in a heartbeat, as if erased by some invisible hand. But why? Why delete them right away? My heart’s racing a little now, and I find myself scrolling aimlessly, hoping for some explanation that never seems to come.Then there’s him—my husband. He’s lying next to me, so still, his breathing slow and deep like he’s in a deep sleep, unaware of the mess of thoughts swirling around in my head. It’s almost comforting in a way, that quiet rhythm of his breath, but it also feels distant, like there’s a wall between us I can’t quite break through. He mentioned giving me a new phone, with an electronic sim card. He seemed… calm about
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 65. Cal's In Love
*** Cal ***I stared at her face for a long time and kept my distance. She was too drunk this time and I took her to her room but she held me down, and ripped my clothes… we kissed but then she fell asleep quickly on my chest. She should be washing up and putting her skincare on but then, she slept like a baby, so I wiped her face and removed her makeup.She looked like an angel without any makeup on.“Oh geez.” I pulled on my pajamas and winced when I accidentally touched my hard manhood. This is Kelly’s curse to me. I get hard easily.“Hmm, Cal?” She mumbled.“Kel,” I moved closer to her. “Do you want me between your legs?”“Hmm, nope. Food. I want food.”I reach for the phone and call the kitchen. Then, I realized that it was only Irene who was in the kitchen and I was about to hang up but Irene spoke.“Hello?”“Uhh, Irene~~about breakfast.”“Yes, I will leave it by the door.” She said.“Thank you.” She hung up like she knew what to do.“Water.”“Alright,”I jumped off of bed, even
Forced to Marry My Stepbrother 64. Twenty Gifts
*** Hyacinth *** It seems that my husband loves Patricia’s gift. He then decided to leave shortly just before it’s his turn to hand out the gifts. He distributed the boxes and gave Patricia a few more boxes and wasn’t wrapped well. “Wait, what are these?” She asked and he put more. I chuckled as Patricia counted all of the gifts, small and big. “My gifts for you.” “This is an exaggeration.” She squinted her eyes at him. “Twenty gifts?” I laughed. “What? That’s only too little.” He then took his name from Zian’s hands as he handed the gifts. What I didn’t expect is there’s more gifts for me. Like five more or six? I was puzzled. Then, I checked the years. I think it was his gifts for the past years that we are not together. “This is indeed an exaggeration.” I agreed with my best friend but I couldn’t help but to be so happy that I received so many gifts today. On every Christmas. I usually don’t get gifts. I mean, I don’t get anything at all. Except when Darcy and Raven came int
