HELLO EX! I'M YOUR STEP- AUNT (Beyond Our Control) Ten
He chuckled softly. “Think about it. If we want to convince everyone, this is the next step.”“But that’s—”“Just for appearances.” He gave her a pointed look. “Or are you afraid it’ll feel too real?”“I’m not afraid of that, but I never planned for us to live together,” Sophie said, trying to sound firm, though her pulse betrayed her.Damien’s smooth laughter filled the space between them. His tongue ran lazily over his bottom lip, a subtle motion that made the memory of their kiss flash in her mind. He leaned closer, his intense marble-gray eyes locked on hers.“Why? Are you scared of what I might do to you if we’re alone?” His voice was low, again teasing, yet there was an undertone of something more.Sophie swallowed hard, fighting to keep her composure. “N...no. I just didn’t think of it.”He straightened, flexing his arms. “We’re married, honey. We have a certified marriage. The public will find out soon.”“That’s exactly why I didn’t want this. I just wanted a contract marriag

The taxi screeched to a halt in front of the house, and Sophie jumped out, heart racing with anticipation. She quickly handed the driver the fare, a small smile tugging at her lips. In her arms was a small box, its contents brimming with love and hope. The excitement bubbling in her chest made it nearly impossible to contain.The house stood as it always had—a place of warmth and familiarity. The door was unlocked, which was a little surprising but not entirely out of place. Pushing it open, she stepped inside, her eyes scanning the cozy living room. Memories of laughter and shared moments filled the air, wrapping around her like a comforting embrace."Goodness, where’s he hiding now?" she murmured with a soft chuckle, her voice breaking the quiet stillness.Carefully, she set the box down on the table, untying her ponytail and letting her chestnut hair cascade over her shoulders. Lifting the lid, she admired the cake she had spent hours perfecting. The words “Happy Birthday to us, Hon

The sharp click of Damien Cavanaugh’s shoes echoed through the marbled floors of Black Cliff Hotel, each step measured, commanding. Heads turned as he passed, his tailored black suit fitting like a second skin. He barely spared a glance at the entrance guards as they straightened instinctively.“I don’t need an escort,” he said, raising a hand before they could speak. His tone brooked no argument. Without breaking stride, he headed toward the elevators.Inside, his assistant, Duffy, stood beside him, shifting uneasily. He was efficient, capable—but always on edge in Damien’s presence. That was how Damien preferred it. Complacency led to mistakes.As the elevator ascended, Duffy cleared his throat and handed over a phone. “Sir, it’s Aaron. He’s been calling repeatedly.”Damien’s gaze remained ahead. “I said no calls until five.”“I know, but he insisted. Said it’s urgent.”With a sigh, Damien took the phone. “What is it, Aaron?”“Uncle Damien! Finally, I got through!” Aaron’s chipper vo

Three Hours EarlierPaaa!A resounding sound shattered the tense silence in the vast living room of the Algernon Mansion. Sophie’s head snapped to the side from the force of her mother’s slap, a sharp sting blooming across her cheek. Gasps erupted from her grandmother, cousin, and Aunt Wally as the sound echoed through the grand space.Her fingers trembled as she pressed them against her burning skin. Tears pricked at her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. Slowly, she lifted her gaze to meet her mother’s—eyes once filled with pride and warmth now brimming with pain and disappointment.“How dare you show up here after sidelining us for five years?” Karina’s voice shook with fury.Sophie opened her mouth, but only a cracked whisper escaped. “I…”She had expected anger, but not this depth of raw betrayal. And yet, she had no defense. She had walked away when they needed her most.“Why have you come back now? Why?” Karina demanded, stepping closer, her presence suffocating.Sophie rea

Sophie’s grip on the contract tightened as she stood across the room from Damien. The air between them felt heavier, thick with unspoken tension. She inhaled sharply, steeling herself. There was no turning back now. If she wanted revenge, this man—her ex-step-uncle—would be her ticket. But emotions had no place in her plan.“I have three rules,” she declared, her voice unwavering. Damien’s sharp gaze locked onto hers, a silent dare flickering in his eyes.“Go on,” he prompted, reclining lazily on the sofa. His posture was casual, but his stare was anything but.“No emotional attachments. We don’t pretend there’s anything real between us. This is purely a business arrangement.” She met his gaze head-on, ensuring he understood the gravity of her words.He smirked. “Fair enough. What’s next?”“No physical intimacy,” she continued, her tone clipped. A faint heat crept up her neck, but she ignored it. “That means no touching unless absolutely necessary for appearances.”One of Damien’s brow

Damien's voice cut through the tense air, cold and filled with lethal intent. "Watch your mouth when you talk to my woman."The words hung in the air, heavy with possessiveness, and Sophie’s heart skipped a beat. She felt a chill creep up her spine. It wasn’t just the implication of the act they were playing—it was how real it felt. The possessiveness in his tone made her stomach twist uncomfortably, though she quickly shoved it aside. What mattered now was how Aaron was reacting.Aaron's face went pale, disbelief flooding his expression. His mouth opened, but no words came out, only shallow breaths, as though his very understanding of the world had cracked. Jeana, standing just behind him, stared at the scene in a mix of shock and confusion. Both of them turned their attention to Sophie, looking for an explanation, but none came.“She’s your…” Aaron stuttered, pointing shakily at Sophie. But before he could finish his thought, Damien was on him in a flash, gripping him by the collar w

Aaron’s jaw tightened, his hands balling into fists as he glared at Sophie."This is a joke,” he spat, his voice low with disbelief. “There’s no way you’re actually having a relationship with my uncle. It’s fake.”Sophie crossed her arms, tilting her head as she observed his furious expression. “Oh?”“You possibly couldn’t have moved on in less than a week, Sophie,” he said, his words dripping with certainty, as if he knew her better than she knew herself.She let out a soft chuckle. “Really?”“Yes. I know you.” He took a step closer, his voice dropping to a near whisper. “You were madly in love with me. You can never move on from me, Sophie.”Her smile remained, but her fingers clenched around the small clutch in her hand. “Oh. What a lovely assumption you've got, Aaron.”“Yeah, I know.” His lips curled into a smirk, as if he had won.“What were you expecting though?” Sophie continued, her tone laced with mockery. “That I was going to come running back to you? After what you did?”His

Aaron’s eyes widened, and his voice faltered, his words tripping over one another."I... I didn’t mean—" he stammered, his face flushed with panic as he tried to correct his mistake. But before he could finish, Damien’s hand shot out like a predator’s strike, grabbing him roughly by the collar.Belina gasped, her eyes darting from Damien to her son, her mouth opening in a wordless plea. Jeana’s face blanched, and she clutched the back of her neck, her gaze glued to the scene unfolding before her. Aaron seemed to struggle to break properly as Damien’s grip tightened, lifting Aaron off the ground just enough to leave him dangling in his powerful grasp.Damien’s voice was cold and controlled, his lips curling into a sneer. "How dare you call my wife names?" He spoke slowly, deliberately, as if savoring the words. His eyes bored into Aaron’s, full of disdain.Aaron’s body jerked, and his mouth opened in shock. He let out a strangled shriek, his eyes darting between the faces around him.

Sophie and Damien decided to leave the party before it officially ended. Sophie’s heart felt lighter after Aaron’s public humiliation. They walked toward the exit, Sophie moving with measured elegance. Her dress shimmered under the hall lights, and her posture was straight but natural—grace with just a hint of triumph. Damien held her hand firmly but gently, his touch grounded and protective.As they approached his sleek black car, camera flashes exploded in the night like tiny bursts of lightning. Media personnel swarmed around them despite Damien’s guards trying to push them back. Mics and recorders stretched toward them as rapid-fire questions filled the air.“Mr. Cavanaugh, what’s your relationship with the lovely lady?”“Rumors say she’s more than just an escort. Care to confirm?”“Is she your wife, sir?”Damien turned, a cool smile playing on his lips. He met their gazes with a steady calm. “What do you think?”One reporter stepped forward. “Sir, we’ve rarely seen you with a wo

Sophie stood silently, her eyes fixed on Aaron, waiting for something—anything—to break the stillness. Belina, watching her son, felt the weight of the moment. She wanted to speak, to tell him not to give in to Damien's demand, but the words caught in her throat. She knew better. The family depended on Damien, and the last thing she wanted was to go against him. She hoped her son would understand that, too.Aaron stood still for a moment longer, his pride and shame fighting a silent battle within him. His knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists. Sophie didn’t move, not a flicker of emotion crossing her face. Belina’s gaze moved between the two of them, anxiety rising in her chest.Finally, Aaron’s knees buckled, and he fell to the floor, the sound of his body hitting the ground reverberating in the room. His face flushed a deep shade of red, not just from the fall but from the humiliation that seeped into his every pore. He had been proud, once, but that was all gone now.“I’m
