last update Last Updated: 2025-03-03 17:04:20

The wedding rehearsal dinner was exactly what I had expected, it was lavish, excessive, and filled with people who thrived on appearances.

It was the kind of event where people pretended to be happy, pretended to be invested, but in reality, they were just waiting for the perfect moment to sink their claws into someone else's life, and my mother was at the center of it all.

She laughed a little too loudly, touched Robert a little too often, and made sure every single person in the room knew how “blissfully happy” she was. But it wasn’t just Robert she was entertaining. I caught the way men looked at her as if she were a prize to be won. She knew it too, and from the way she entertained them I was almost certain she had found her next husband here.

But if you ask me, This rehearsal dinner was pointless. My mother and Robert had been married more times than I could count, if anyone knew how to say “I do,” it was them.

I drained my third glass of wine, feeling the more then fed up, the w

    His lips was hovering just above mine it was close enough that I could feel the warmth of his every breath, his heart beating, and how his breathing felt almost hitched.I could see the tiny specs of gold in grey eyes, how long his lashes were, how thick his brows were. He was incredibly handsome.Not that I didn't notice before, it was as if I felt more aware of that fact.I was entirely frozen, rooted to the spot, completely stuck in the space between fight and surrender. This was wrong in extreme ways and yet, I didn’t pull away from his electric kiss.Ethan’s fingers lightly went up my arm, barely touching me but still enough to leave a trail of heat as he went in circle, his eyes never left mine, dark with desire and he was waiting for me to come undone, he was daring me to make the next move, but I wasn't going to.I swallowed hard. “This is a mistake.”His smirk deepened, but there was something different in his gaze now, it made my stomach twist in ways I wasn’t prepared for.

    I did everything I could to avoid Ethan at work after what happened at the rehearsal dinner. I buried myself in paperwork, took the longest possible routes to my desk, and even dragged Rachel to lunch with me just to make sure I wasn’t alone.I had made a decision to never kiss Ethan Blackwood again, I was not even going to be in the same room with him for more than five minutes, but of course none of my plans and efforts were going to work.My phone buzzed with a message.Ethan Blackwood: My office. Now. Bring the files from the bottom drawer.My stomach twisted in knots. I had barely slept last night, the memory of his lips, the kiss and his touch was tattooed in my mind. I could still feel the way he had pulled me close, how his hands had roamed, how he had looked at me like he wanted to devour me whole. And now, he wanted me in his office?No! But he was my boss, I couldn't defy him.I took a deep breath, grabbed the files, and forced myself to walk like I wasn’t seconds away from

    Today was the day my mother was getting married again.I had put up my best fake smile as her designated chief bridesmaid knowing fully well that month after this wedding we won't be on speaking terms till she divorces Robert and eventually gets remarried.But on the positive side, champagne and cheers right?This has to be her best and most expensive wedding yet, from the classical music to the pristine white roses lining the aisles, and a sea of finely dressed guests watching as my mother prepared to say I do for the seventh time.I should have been focused on the moment. On the vows and the opulence bullshit, or on my mother’s ridiculous display of affection as she batted her lashes at Robert, giggling like a teenager.But I wasn’t interested in any of that shit because Ethan was here.I had avoided him like the fucking plague since I slapped him.He stood a few feet away, looking like he belonged in a goddamn magazine, his suit tailored to perfection, his tie slightly loosened, al

    I had swore to avoid the devil's spawn on the reception, but then his hand was on my waist.I sucked in a painful breath as I turned to face him, my heart beating hard against my ribs. I hadn’t even noticed when he had taken my hand, guiding me into the dance floor“Relax,” Ethan murmured, his breath warm against my ear. “You’re acting like I’m about to eat you alive.”I stiffened. “Aren’t you?”His lips curved into a slow, cocky smirk. “Depends. Would you let me?”My stomach clenched.“And besides, I wouldn't do anything you didn't want me to do.”I hated how he got under my skin so effortlessly, how his low taunting voice felt like it was undoing me from the inside out.We moved in perfect sync, his fingers pressing just a little too firmly against my waist, his body too close, the space between us practically nonexistent.“Come, let's dance.” How could I say no to a face like that?Every brush of our bodies sent heat deep in my stomach, my breathing became uneven.“Do you feel it,”

    Instead, my fingers curled into his hair, pulling him closer. His mouth was on mine again, and this time, I kissed him back like I needed him to breathe.We were reckless and he was intoxicating. His hands slid down my body, gripping, exploring me, making my knees weak. I felt myself melting into him, getting lost in the fire we were playing with.We had already crossed the line, but I should care or think about the consequences.But then Ethan lifted me onto the nearby desk, stepping between my legs, his lips tracing a path down my neck.I let my head fall back, my hands slipping under his coat trying to unbutton his shirt and feel the heat of his skin.I was drowning in him.“Is there a zipper?” He asked as his hands were struggling to remove my dress.This was happening! I was going to have hot sex with the notorious Ethan Blackwood in a random room in his family mansion where our parents' reception was being held.And I would enjoy every second of the sex.“It's at the side.” His

    Of course it has to be Rachel, that girl was a hound dog, always being in places she wasn't meant to be in and finding out things she wasn't supposed to.Her voice rang out, she was loud and visibly impatient. “Ethan? Sophia? Are you in there?”How did she know that we were here?“Ethan you're needed for the best man's speech, so hurry up.”Panic filled my chest. Before I could react, Ethan’s hand was over my mouth, pressing me back against the wall, his body shielding mine from the door as if Rachel could see straight through it.And when his body was pressed against mine, I swear I felt his hard on and I wanted to forget that Rachel was knocking and let him take me right here, right now."Shhh," he whispered in my ear. “She will go away if we keep shut”But the knocking only intensified. “Ethan, I swear, if you’re ignoring me—”My heart pounded. I could barely focus on anything but the way Ethan’s body was molded against mine, the way his palm felt against my lips, his scent thick i

    I should have known Ethan Blackwood wouldn’t make this easy for me.After the wedding and the way he had kissed me like he was starving for me, after the way I had almost let him have me right there in that empty room, I swore I wouldn’t let him get to me. I had told myself it was a mistake, a lapse in judgment fueled by my need to break my stupid virginity.I thought I could pretend it never happened. I was wrong because Ethan didn’t forget and he absolutely will not let me forget.His presence was a constant reminder, I got chills everytime he passed my desk.It was almost as if the little things he was doing were turning me in.The brush of his fingers when he handed me a file. The way he said my name, The way he looked into me across the conference room table.And the worst part was that he never for once mentioned it., not the kiss or the way I had melted for him. Not the way I had run.Ethan Blackwood was playing a game, and I hated that it was working.So when Chris Carter wh

    At exactly six fifty-five, I was finishing up my last email when Chris appeared at my desk with his hands tucked into his pockets.“Are you ready?” he asked, his smile easy and very much charming.I grabbed my purse, opening my mouth to respond but was interrupted by a buzzing sound, my phone lit up with a text and I knew who it was from.Ethan Blackwood: My office. Now.I ignored the motherfucker, he had ruined my day and he doesn't get to ruin my date. “Let's go Chris.”I barely had time to process before the intercom clicked on, Ethan’s voice filling the office with his usual controlled and teasing tone.“Chris Alister, please report to my office immediately.”Chris frowned. “What the actual hell?”I forced a smile. “It’s probably nothing. I’ll wait.”But as the minutes dragged on, my patience was wearing very thin, fifteen minutes gone and then twenty.By the time Chris finally emerged from Ethan’s office, he looked very disappointed and defeated.He exhaled sharply, rubbing the b

    Ethan “Alex used an internal login,” he said, voice tight. “But he didn’t hack in himself. Someone gave him access.”My jaw tightened. “Who?”Daniel exhaled sharply, pulling up a log file. “It was a shared admin password. Only a few people have it—IT leads, security personnel…” He hesitated. “And interns who’ve worked in the department.”“Who could have given it to him?”Daniel didn't reply immediately; he was still fixated on his computer. “Give me time boss, this kind of thing takes time.” “Fine, I need everything about Alex.”Daniel blinked. “Everything?”I turned to him, my expression blank. “Everything you can find on Alex. His calls, his emails, his financial records—everything.”Daniel nodded so fast it was a wonder his head didn’t snap off. “Ok boss.” After what felt like two seconds he replied. “Here.” “Send it to me.” I said and he nodded.Daniel barely had time to mutter something about looking deeper before I was already walking out of my office.Ready to hunt the fucke

  • My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother!   Chapter Eighty-two: He will pay

    Ethan I never expected Sophie to tell me to get out. Not like that with her voice shaking, her eyes red and glassy, looking as if I had betrayed her in the worst way possible and the worst part was that I couldn’t even blame her. Because when everything went to hell, I wasn’t there. I clenched my jaw, storming toward my car, my body shaking with barely restrained rage. My fists slammed against the roof of the vehicle before I opened the car door so hard that you would think it was the cause of my problem. “Fucking Rachel,” I muttered under my breath, my little sister can be dramatic most times and I had no time for her theatrics nor her judgement. Someone had humiliated Sophie and dragged her through the mud in front of the entire company. The person had gone damn far by taking our private moments and turning them into a goddamn public spectacle. And I was going to find out who it was. I pulled out my phone, forcing myself to look at the pictures again, even though they made

    I was curled up on the couch, still a sobbing mess while I checked my phone every passing second but it was still the same thing. My phone was silent and there were no new messages or any calls at all from him.Rachel was in the kitchen, making tea like it could fix this. even the scent of chamomile did nothing to calm the riot in my head.We heard a knock on the door, Rachel immediately snapped her head up but I didn't move.She looked like she was ready to punch on who was knocking as the knock was becoming more louder and persistent.Rachel walked to the door, glancing at the peephole before letting out a bitter laugh. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.”I already knew who it was.She yanked the door open but didn’t step aside. Ethan stood there, hands shoved in his pockets, still looking very but together.“I need to see Sophie,” he said as his voice was calm and controlled.She crossed her arms looking very fierce. “And I need you to leave.”“Rachel I-.”She cut him off rudely

    Everyone went dead silent but it looked as if Rachel wasn't done speaking. “But do you know what I can tell you? This is workplace harassment, and I will find out who’s responsible.”I have never seen her acting so vicious, if there was anything it was only now that she looked like she was actually related to Ethan. “You want to talk about immunity, let’s talk about company policy, shall we? Because last I checked, cyberbullying, workplace harassment, and slander are all grounds for termination.”Rachel’s eyes swept the room, daring anyone to challenge her. No one did.“That’s what I thought,” she said coldly. “Now get back to work before I make sure HR has a very busy afternoon.”With that, she grabbed my wrist and practically dragged me out of the office, my legs moving on autopilot as she led me toward the elevator. I didn’t protest. I didn’t have it in me.The elevator doors slid shut, sealing us in silence.Rachel exhaled sharply through her nose, arms crossed tightly over her c

    “Can you please let me in? I’m already late, and you know how Mr. Blackwood gets with his employees being late”I tried to keep the frustration out of my voice, but the way she was looking at me like she knew something I didn’t made my skin itch.Her smirk widened at the mention of Ethan's name. “Rough morning?”I blinked, caught off guard. “You… could say that.”Oh, she had no idea how rough my morning had been.She hummed, eyes lingering on me in that irritating, knowing way. “Mmm.”What the hell was that supposed to mean? Was a ‘mmm’ going to get me inside? I clenched my jaw, my patience running very low. “So… Can you let me in?”She tapped a perfectly manicured nail against the desk, her smirk deepening. “Are you sure you belong here?”I pressed my hand on my forehead wanting to scream out my frustration at her.What. The. Hell.Didn’t she just call me by my name a minute ago?I narrowed my eyes. “Excuse me?”She leaned in slightly, lowering her voice as if she was about to let m

    I should’ve just stayed in bed, and I wasn't even kidding.I knew today was going to be a mess the second I woke up, and the drama that happened just proved everything to be true. To make matters worse, I was already running late. My hair wouldn’t cooperate and stay in a freaking bun, my shirt had a wrinkle that refused to smooth out, and to top it all off, Ethan still hadn’t replied to my text.Looked like I was having the worst day on planet fucking Earth.I was checking my phone the whole ride to work, waiting for a reply from Ethan, or even a call from my mother telling me that what happened yesterday was one of her crazy attention-seeking stunts.But something told me that it wasn't.I checked my phone again, and still—nothing. The one time I needed Ethan to actually text me, he hadn’t sent a single reply.“Are you okay, miss?” The taxi driver asked, and I could see him watching me from the rearview mirror and he wasn't even hiding the fact that he was watching me.Jeez.

    I woke up to the smell of coffee and something frying in the kitchen which incredibly unusual.I sniffed again and identified it as pancakes and bacon. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming or that I was being robbed and the thief was kind enough to make breakfast, because that was a more realistic explanation to what was happening because Veronica Carter didn’t cook. Not unless she was trying to impress someone.I wasn't even sure if she could do any domestic work.I sat up still feeling sleepy, rubbing my eyes, and then I saw her.Mom stood by the stove, dressed in a fitted cream blouse and tailored pants, looking like she had just stepped out of a magazine.Damn, who on earth was able to look this put together this early in the morning? Her hair, which had been a disaster last night, was now sleek and straight, her makeup flawless. She even had on a pair of pearl earrings.I didn't even know if I owned a hair straightener, because how on earth was she able to do this, and where di

    Even as I walked home I was still grinning earlier to eat as I entered the taxi, my phone buzzed with a text from Ethan.Ethan: Remember tomorrow is Friday.Me: Looks like someone's excited.He didn't reply, he didn't need to be ahse the first sentence was enough to make my heart flip in my tiny little chest. I bit my lip, trying not to blush as the taxi driver did this thing. There was something perfect when your driver didn't try to engage in small talk, it just makes me want to give a full five stars.Finally I had reached my stop, I came down from the car as I hurried up the steps to my apartment. Tomorrow meant I was staying over meaning that I would be wrapped up in his sheets, waking up to him. The thought alone was to send me into overdrive But the second I looked up, the happiness I was feeling in my chest vanished.Right outside my apartment door was my mother looking like she was run over by a truck.Her legs were folded in a way that made it seem as if she had just coll

    “Are you going to be shy?” He asked as I shook my head representing a no. But it was obvious that my answer didn't satisfy him as his grip on my thighs tightened, I was sure that he would leave a mark “N-no I'm not going to be shy.” Who was I kidding, I was beyond shy, but with the way he looked at me with a satisfied smirk I knew this was going to be amazing. "Good." He said in a monotone. Without any warning he lowered his head trailing kisses on my thighs, my hands involuntarily touched his hair guiding him to where I wanted it. I could feel him smirking as he was kicking on my thighs. I felt immediately insecure, what if I smelt weird? or the tiny bit of hair icked him out? What if I didn't like it? But with the way he looked at me, every doubt cleared my mind, his tongue then kissed my labia, fuck! I didn't know that can feel so amazing. I felt his tongue enter into me kissing my clitoris as I held his hair tighter begging him to keep going. Then he lowered h
