My Boss, My Step-Brother: The Devil From My Past chapter 28
Elena hadn’t expected to learn more about Elliot’s past. To her, he had always been the confident, untouchable boy who had made her life a living nightmare. Even after his apology and the changes she had begun to see in him, she couldn’t reconcile his behavior with any vulnerability. But life had a way of revealing hidden truths when least expected. It all started when her mother, Susan, casually mentioned that Elliot’s father, Richard, was traveling abroad for business and wouldn’t return for several months. The comment itself seemed harmless, but something about the way her mother spoke—hesitant, almost guarded—stuck with Elena. It was as if there was more to the story, something unsaid. The opportunity to learn more came unexpectedly. Elena and her mother were in the kitchen preparing dinner one evening when Susan let something slip. “I just hope this time away does Richard some good,” her mother muttered while chopping vegetables. “What do you mean?” Elena asked, setting down

Elena glanced at the stack of documents on her desk, feeling the weight of responsibility pressing down on her. The upcoming project presentation was one of the most critical assignments she’d faced at the company—a proposal for a high-profile client that could potentially secure a lucrative deal. Success would mean recognition and opportunities for career growth, but failure? That wasn’t an option. To make matters more complicated, Elliot had been assigned as her direct collaborator. While their interactions had grown less tense over the past few weeks, working closely with him on such a crucial task stirred mixed emotions in her. “This is a team effort,” their manager had announced in the meeting earlier that day. “I expect both of you to bring your best to the table. This client is counting on us.” As she gathered her materials, Elena couldn’t help but feel nervous. Could she trust Elliot to take this as seriously as she did? Later that day, they sat across from each other in

Elena’s newfound confidence after the successful client presentation was short-lived. She and Elliot had grown closer through their collaboration, and while they still maintained a professional demeanor at work, their shared success had drawn attention. Whispers and speculative glances began to follow them around the office, but it wasn’t until an incident with one particular colleague, Vanessa, that the tension escalated into outright drama. Vanessa had been at the company longer than Elena, and her ambition was well-known. She often found ways to subtly discredit others’ work while elevating her own contributions. When Elena and Elliot’s project received praise from their manager and the client, Vanessa’s thin smile barely concealed her irritation. “They make a good team, don’t they?” someone remarked during a team meeting. Vanessa scoffed quietly, leaning toward a coworker. “Sure, if you call riding on Elliot’s coattails teamwork.” Elena overheard the comment, her stomach tigh

Sitting alone in her apartment, Elena found herself lost in thought. The present was complicated enough, but her mind drifted back to a time she rarely allowed herself to revisit. It was the spring of her junior year in high school—a time when her feelings for Elliot had begun to shift, growing into something she hadn’t fully understood until it was too late. At the time, Elliot had already established himself as the school’s golden boy. He was smart, athletic, and charming in a way that seemed effortless. But for Elena, he was also a source of torment, his teasing and harsh words leaving a mark she couldn’t easily erase. Yet, amidst all the pain he caused, there had been moments—brief, fleeting glimpses of kindness—that had planted the seeds of her conflicted emotions. The day started like any other. Elena sat in the back of the classroom, scribbling notes while trying to remain invisible. Elliot, as always, was at the center of attention, cracking jokes and earning laughter from

Elena’s days at work had become a blur of deadlines, meetings, and mounting pressure. The recent drama with her colleagues and her unresolved feelings toward Elliot only added to her stress. She often worked late, finding solace in the quiet after-hours office. It was during one of these late evenings, when she felt particularly defeated, that Elliot surprised her with a gesture that reminded her he was not the same person she remembered from high school. It had been a long day. Elena’s to-do list seemed endless, and a mistake in a financial report had set her back hours. By the time most of the office had cleared out, she was still hunched over her desk, furiously typing corrections and trying to ignore the growing ache in her temples. “Just one more hour,” she muttered to herself, though she wasn’t entirely sure she believed it. The fluorescent lights hummed softly overhead, and the silence of the office only amplified her frustration. She glanced at her watch—it was nearly 9 PM

Elena stared out the car window, her arms crossed tightly across her chest. She had been less than thrilled when her mother announced the family road trip, calling it a "bonding experience." In theory, it sounded great: a scenic drive, a few tourist stops, and quality time with the newly blended family. In practice, it meant being crammed in the same vehicle with Elliot for hours on end. Elliot sat in the passenger seat beside his father, occasionally glancing back at Elena. She was seated in the back next to her mother, who was enthusiastically rattling off facts about their first destination—a quaint countryside town known for its picturesque lake. The tension between Elena and Elliot was palpable, though their parents seemed blissfully unaware. As the car pulled onto the highway, she couldn’t help but wonder how she was going to survive the trip without letting her frustration boil over. The first few hours were as awkward as Elena had feared. Her mother and Elliot’s father cha

The atmosphere was heavy as Elena stood on the rooftop of the office building, gazing at the city skyline. The weight of recent events at work and her conflicted emotions about Elliot made her seek solitude. She clutched her arms against the chilly wind, lost in her thoughts, until she heard footsteps approaching from behind. “Shouldn’t you be inside? It’s freezing out here,” Elliot said softly, his voice breaking through her reverie. She didn’t turn around but tightened her grip on her arms. “I needed some air.” Elliot walked closer, stopping a few feet away. “I noticed you were upset earlier. Did something happen?” Elena shook her head, unwilling to share the details of yet another colleague’s snide remark or her growing frustration at being the subject of workplace gossip. “You don’t have to bottle everything up, you know,” he said, his tone gentle. “Why do you care?” she asked abruptly, finally turning to face him. Her eyes searched his face, looking for any hint of insince

Elena’s day had started off well enough. A small triumph at work—a presentation she had prepared was well-received by their department head. For the first time in months, she felt like she was beginning to prove herself. She had even caught herself smiling more often, thanks in no small part to Elliot’s recent support. But things had a way of spiraling, and today was no exception. It began with a conversation she overheard in the break room. Two of her colleagues were whispering near the coffee machine, their voices low but laced with amusement. Elena wasn’t one for eavesdropping, but her name caught her attention. “You know she’s only doing so well because of Elliot, right?” one of them said with a smirk. “Of course,” the other replied. “He’s practically handing her success on a silver platter. I mean, why else would he defend her so much?” The words hit Elena like a punch to the gut. She stepped back, her heartbeat quickening as their laughter echoed in her ears. The comment
