My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter Eleven: Welcome to Hell
Monday morning arrived far too quickly. The elevator ride up to the executive floor of Blackwood Corp felt like a slow march toward my hell, doom, and possible end. I had decided to dress down today, violently avoiding anything red or remotely appealing. Instead, I wore a slightly ruffled black dress that stopped below my knee and a blue blazer jacket, my hair in a plush bun. And after downing three cups of coffee, I knew I could do this. Lie. I can't do this. I can't handle this at all. My heart pounded against my ribs, my palms damp as I clutched my bag. But despite the anxiety clawing at my throat, a sense of satisfaction settled deep in my chest. I had gotten the position. Not my traitor of a best friend. That fact alone made this worth it. I told myself this job was a fresh start, a chance to prove myself, but when I stepped into Ethan’s office, I realized just how naive I had been. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, hands in his pockets, looking effortlessly

I was barely two hours into my day when my phone buzzed with an internal call from Ethan’s office.I exhaled sharply before answering, here we go again. “Yes, sir?”“Bring the documents from my desk and make three copies. Now.”The line went dead. No please, I didn't want to go to this office but there was no room for negotiation. I gritted my teeth but grabbed the damn files anyway.Ethan barely glanced at me when I walked in. He was behind his massive desk, flipping through emails on his laptop. The room smelled like expensive cologne and power, a scent that was quickly becoming suffocating.I moved toward the copy machine in the corner, trying to do my job and leave as fast as possible, but his voice cut through the silence.“You and your mother,” he mused. “You guys are not close at all, are you?”My hands shook for half a second before I continued. “I don’t see how that’s relevant.”Ethan leaned back in his chair, watching me like a hunter amused by his prey’s weak attempt at esc
Last Updated : 2025-03-03My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter thirteen: The Apology Donut
The donut sat in the small paper bag on my desk, mocking me because deep down I knew I couldn't pull this off.I stared at it, tapping my fingers on my, debating whether I should just throw the damn thing away.It seemed like a good idea this morning. A peace offering it was a small, almost ridiculous way to break the ice before I apologized to Ethan. Because I owed him one.I wasn’t the type to regret my words, but the second that comment about his mother had left my mouth, I knew I had crossed a line. A deep one. The kind that couldn’t be erased with a simple “I didn’t mean it.”Because I had meant it, at the time I meant every single word I said.I had wanted to hurt him. I hated the way he always seemed so untouchable, so unaffected by anything. And now, after reading the truth, after seeing what his childhood had really been like, I knew just how wrong I had been.I sighed, rubbing a hand over my face.The office was alive with its usual morning buzz, but I hadn’t seen him yet.E
Last Updated : 2025-03-03My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter fourteen: His dangerous game
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
Last Updated : 2025-03-04My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 17: The wedding
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,”

“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
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter Seventy-eight: A Morning from Hell
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. Was I re
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Perfect Lie
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
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter Seventy-Six: Her vulnerable side
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
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter Seventy-five: His multi purpose tongue
Chapter X: His multi purpose tongue “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.
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter Seventy-four: Sealed the deal
Worked continued like normal as it was almost as if we weren't popping champagne thirty minutes ago, everyone was busy with their ken thing while I was reviewing emails for Ethan.My phone buzzed again, I rolled my eyes because I didn't even need to look at the screen to know that it was Ethan.But I needed to know what the message was, I looked and and not surprisingly, it was a text from him.Ethan: My office now. Now.I stood up and went to his office wondering what Mr. Needy ass wanted now.I stepped into the room to find him leaning against the table, with his arms crossed and sleeves rolled up like he was about to fix a problem himself. He looked at me and smiled, like he genuinely smiled at me, it wasn't a smirk or anything he would normally do “You took your sweet time,” he said.“You texted two minutes ago,” I shot back. “Relax and besides I was looking at your emails.”He looked as if he had the perfect reply in mind but surprisingly he didn’t push further Instead, he gest
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter Seventy three: The Afterglow of Victory
Finally, the applauded stopped and I not so quietly left the stage, I scanned the conference room for Rachel but she was no where to be found.If really needed a mental anchor but there was no one else but Rachel.It was too bad she wasn't here but if it got to sticking her nose in I and Ethan's business, she would miraculously be present.Everyone was glaring at me, even after Ethan moved on to discuss logistics and next steps, I could feel their eyes and even hear the accusations, from people who couldn’t stand the fact that I was the one standing beside him.Let them hate, after all that was all they could do after all it wasn't as if they could take this merger deal from me.I sipped my champagne slowly, allowing the bubbles to linger in my throat because no matter what they thought or what they gossiped, it would still go down in history books that I had won.The gossip didn't change the fact that I had secured the merger, and stood at the front of this room not because of Etha
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter Seventy-Two: A Toast to the Victor
It was ridiculous how quickly things moved. Yesterday I was in a five star hotel overseas with Ethan while today I stood in the conference room with glass walls surrounded by people who thought I was unworthy of sharing the same air as them and wanted me to fail.How perfect…But if I was being really honest with myself, I didn't want to ever leave the phillipines, it was a magical place and now it held memories.By memories, I meant that the image of Ethan fucking me more times than I could count was forced embedded in my mind.The moment we landed, Ethan didn't even have a moment of rest, he was busy with meetings and phone calls, finalizing the last details of the merger. And now, here we were in the so-called victory part of the deal.He wanted to start the planning phase immediately, without any time wasted but first we had to celebrate Ethan Blackwood style.The once boring conference halls now had a long table in the center, set with champagne flutes and trays of hors d’oeuvr
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter Seventy-One: The unexpected truce.
I took my time to study her since she wasn't replying, she still looked incredibly beautiful but this time she didn't have that smug look she did at the business meeting.Maybe she wouldn't try so hard to embarrass me this time.She wore a white sequin dress that did wonders to her figure and her high heels made her look incredibly tall, I wanted to touch her hair and ask her what she did to get it to be straight like that, but I quickly pinched myself remembering that she was the enemy.“Of course you should, you helped your company secure a million dollar deal that is impressive.”I was trying to get her angel, was she trying to get on my good side now that Mr. Ventura is on our side or does she have a trick up her sleeve.I decide to also play her game"I guess you're right.” I said with a plastered smile on my facem “I guess winning after someone tries so hard to make me lose feels even better."I gave her an innocent smile before I then met her gaze, she knew I was right, after
