My Boss, My Step-Brother: The Devil From My Past chapter 60
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.

Elena had always tried to forget the softer moments of her past, especially where Elliot was concerned. It was easier to remember the sharp words, the cruel pranks, and the smirks that had haunted her throughout high school. It was easier to paint him as the villain, the boy who had made her life unbearable. But buried deep within her memories, hidden even from herself, was a truth she had long refused to acknowledge. She had once fallen for him. The memory came rushing back one evening as she sat by her window, staring out at the bustling city. It was a crisp autumn afternoon during her sophomore year of high school. The leaves had just begun to turn, painting the school grounds in warm hues of gold and crimson. She had been walking across the quad, her arms laden with books, when a group of boys had approached her, their jeers cutting through the quiet air. At the center of the group was Elliot. Back then, he was a charismatic boy with a devil-may-care attitude, the kind of per

The air in the office was heavy with unspoken tension as Elliot leaned against the edge of Elena's desk, his gaze fixed on her. She was busy typing away on her computer, completely unaware of the internal struggle raging within him. For weeks now, Elliot had been wrestling with his emotions, trying to find the right moment, the right words to tell her how he truly felt. But every time he thought he was ready, fear crept in and silenced him. How could he, of all people, dare to confess to her? After all he had done in the past, did he even deserve her forgiveness, let alone her love? “Hey,” he said softly, breaking the silence. Elena looked up from her screen, her brows furrowed. “What’s up? Do you need something?” Elliot hesitated, his heart pounding in his chest. He wanted to say yes—to tell her he needed her, more than she could possibly know. But the words caught in his throat, and he ended up shaking his head. “No, just... wanted to see how you were doing,” he replied,

Elena had been carrying the weight of uncertainty for weeks now, and the strain was beginning to take its toll. The mixed signals, the small gestures of kindness, and the moments of vulnerability Elliot had shown—it all felt like an intricate puzzle with pieces that didn’t quite fit together. She had let herself be patient, allowed him the benefit of the doubt, but the growing tension between them had reached a tipping point. If she was going to move forward—if they were going to have any semblance of clarity—she needed answers. Elena spent most of her Saturday pacing her apartment, replaying the past few months in her head. The way Elliot had shifted from a smug, distant presence to someone protective and attentive had been a complete turnaround. And yet, there were still shadows of their past that loomed large, creating a wall between her trust and his sincerity. Did he genuinely care about her? Or was this some twisted game of guilt and redemption? She hated the idea of confron

Proposals are deeply personal, often marking the pinnacle of a couple’s journey toward commitment and unity. For Elliot and Elena, this moment was not just a romantic milestone but a culmination of years of growth, healing, and love. Elliot’s proposal was as thoughtful and private as their relationship, reflecting their shared values and the depth of their bond. Elliot had been thinking about proposing to Elena for months. After everything they had been through—overcoming misunderstandings, building trust, and navigating external challenges—he knew without a doubt that she was the one he wanted to spend his life with. He wanted the moment to be special, not in a grand or ostentatious way, but in a manner that would speak directly to Elena’s heart. He thought about her love for simplicity, her appreciation for meaningful gestures, and her tendency to cherish quiet, intimate moments over loud declarations. Elliot decided to propose in a place that held significance for both of them:

For Elena, fully forgiving Elliot and letting go of the pain he caused in their shared past marked the final step in their journey toward healing. This moment of closure was deeply emotional, signifying the strength of her character and the depth of their bond. For years, Elena carried the scars of the bullying she endured during high school. Elliot’s actions back then had left an indelible mark on her self-esteem, making it difficult for her to trust him completely, even as he worked tirelessly to show her he had changed. While she had acknowledged his transformation and even fallen in love with the man he had become, there was always a small part of her that remained guarded. That part whispered doubts, reminding her of the vulnerability she once felt. Forgiving Elliot fully meant confronting that fear and choosing to embrace the present instead of being haunted by the past. Elliot, too, had been on his own journey. He recognized the damage his younger self had caused and carrie
