My Boss, My Step-Brother: The Devil From My Past chapter 57
The thought stayed with Elena as she went to bed that evening. Forgiveness wasn’t about absolving Elliot entirely or pretending the past hadn’t happened. It was about reclaiming her own sense of peace. She had spent years carrying the burden of his actions, and she was finally beginning to understand that holding on to that anger only kept her tethered to a version of herself she no longer wanted to be. In the days that followed, Elena found herself noticing more moments where Elliot’s efforts seemed genuine. He continued to treat her with respect, and his actions showed a quiet consistency that reassured her. He didn’t press her for more than she was ready to give, but his patience spoke volumes. Slowly, she started to open up more during their interactions, letting some of her guardedness slip away. One afternoon, during a lull in their workload, Elliot approached her with a tentative smile. “There’s a new café down the street. Want to check it out? My treat.” Elena hesitated, he

Elena had always prided herself on her ability to remain calm and composed, even under pressure. But there was something about Miranda, one of her colleagues, that tested her patience. Miranda had a knack for finding ways to undermine Elena, from dismissive comments during meetings to slyly taking credit for her ideas. While Elena had tried to let the behavior slide, hoping it would fade over time, it only seemed to escalate. Her breaking point came during a critical project meeting. Elena had spent weeks preparing a detailed presentation, outlining her strategy for a major client proposal. As she stood before her team, laying out her carefully constructed plan, Miranda interrupted. “Interesting approach, Elena,” Miranda said, her tone laced with condescension. “But I think we all know this strategy might be... a little too ambitious, don’t we?” The room fell silent, all eyes turning to Elena. Her heart pounded as she struggled to maintain her composure. Miranda’s words weren’t j

The office had long since emptied, the silence broken only by the faint hum of fluorescent lights. Elena glanced at the clock on the wall—it was nearly midnight. The client pitch deadline loomed, and though most of the work was done, she wanted to double-check every detail. Across the room, Elliot was still at his desk, his shirt sleeves rolled up, his brow furrowed in concentration. She admired his focus for a moment before shaking her head. Focus, Elena. This is about work. But as much as she tried to ignore it, the growing sense of ease between them had begun to chip away at the barriers she’d carefully constructed. "Still here?" Elliot’s voice broke the quiet. Elena looked up to find him leaning back in his chair, watching her with a small, tired smile. "You’re still here too," she shot back, her lips quirking into a faint grin. "Touché." He stood, stretching, and gestured toward the break room. "Want some coffee? It’s probably terrible, but it’s all we’ve got." She hesitat

The delicate equilibrium Elena and Elliot had begun to forge was soon tested by forces neither of them had anticipated—their parents. As the family dynamics shifted, so did the unspoken rules about how close was too close for step-siblings. It began subtly, almost imperceptibly, during a routine family dinner. Elena had just returned from a particularly grueling day at work, one in which Elliot had not only supported her through a minor crisis but had also taken the time to coach her on handling a difficult client. His encouragement had made all the difference, leaving her feeling both accomplished and grateful. At the dinner table, their parents, Sarah and Richard, sat across from them, chatting about an upcoming family gathering. Meanwhile, Elena and Elliot shared a quiet laugh about a private work-related joke. Sarah, Elena’s mother, caught the exchange. Her smile faltered slightly, replaced by a curious, almost wary look. She said nothing, but her gaze lingered on them for jus

Life at the office had been running smoothly for Elena, thanks in no small part to Elliot’s guidance and support. She was finding her footing, achieving small victories, and beginning to feel more confident in her abilities. However, the arrival of a new coworker, Lucas, threw a wrench into the balance she and Elliot had been carefully navigating. Lucas, a charismatic and outgoing transfer from a rival company, quickly became the center of attention at the office. With his easy charm and infectious energy, he made fast friends with everyone, including Elena. His friendliness, however, soon began to border on something more, and Elliot was the first to notice. From the moment Lucas introduced himself during a morning meeting, his gaze lingered on Elena a second too long. “Elena, right?” he said, flashing her a grin. “I’ve heard a lot about you. Looks like I’ll have to keep up if I want to match your reputation here.” Elena smiled politely, brushing off the compliment. “Welcome to t

As Elliot and Elena exited the office, the quiet night seemed to amplify the unspoken words between them. The city buzzed faintly in the background, but for them, the world felt still. Their steps fell into an unintentional rhythm, as though they had silently agreed to share this moment of calm. Elena glanced at Elliot, noticing the soft tension in his jaw that had eased since the confrontation with Lucas. “You’re awfully quiet,” she said, breaking the silence. Elliot smirked, though his eyes held a tenderness that made her heart skip. “Just thinking. You surprised me today.” “Surprised you?” she asked, arching a brow. “In a good way,” he clarified, shoving his hands into his pockets. “You were firm, clear, and didn’t back down. That’s not easy, especially in a work environment where people like Lucas try to blur boundaries.” Elena’s lips curved into a small smile. “It felt good to stand my ground, but it’s not always easy when people misread kindness as something more.” “That’s

The elevator ride down was filled with a charged silence. Elena stood on one side, her arms clutching her bag tightly, while Elliot leaned against the opposite wall, his posture casual but his eyes constantly flicking toward her. When the doors opened, they stepped out together, walking toward the dimly lit parking garage. Their footsteps echoed in tandem, but neither spoke until they reached her car. Elliot hesitated, standing a few feet away as Elena unlocked her door. “I meant what I said upstairs,” he finally broke the silence, his voice softer than usual. Elena paused, her fingers hovering over the handle. She turned to face him, her expression cautious but open. “About someday?” “Yes,” he said, stepping closer. “I know it’s a lot to ask, especially after everything. But I’m not just saying it—I’m willing to prove it, no matter how long it takes.” Her heart twisted at the sincerity in his voice. She wanted to believe him, to accept the change she had seen in him over the pas

It was a quiet evening when Elena finally allowed herself to confront the truth. The city buzzed faintly outside her window, but the world within her small apartment was still. She sat curled up on her couch, a blanket draped over her lap, a half-empty cup of tea cooling on the table. Her mind was far from the romance novel she had tried to distract herself with. Instead, it was filled with thoughts of Elliot. Elliot had been on her mind more often than she cared to admit lately. He was always there, in her thoughts, her memories, and her everyday moments. It wasn’t just his grand gestures, like standing up for her or helping her overcome challenges. It was the smaller things, the subtle ways he showed he cared: the way he’d leave her favorite snacks on her desk when she worked late, the way he noticed when she was overwhelmed before she even said a word, or the way his voice softened when he spoke to her as if she were something precious. She sighed, burying her face in her hands.
