2024-10-29 19:42:56Nicole's POV:
After taking a refreshing bath, I headed to work. When I arrived, Cole was already busy working, and his face lit up with a smile as soon as he saw me. I made my way to the serving counter and started assisting the customers. Cole came up behind me.
"You look really beautiful, Nic," he complimented.
I blushed and glanced down. "You're not so bad yourself."
He shook his head and chuckled before going off to serve the food. Meanwhile, I took a deep breath, feeling like I was almost mentally cheating on him.
What was wrong with me? The dream I had last night was incredibly sinful, and despite knowing it was wrong in so many ways, the worst part was that it actually fe

Isabelle’s point of View:“Is—Isabelle Roman?” I heard him say with shock in his voice.I froze too, not knowing how to react. I didn’t know my past would catch up with me so fast.“I—”“Wow,” He interrupted my slow murmur and chuckled. “I genuinely feel so stupid right now, Ni—Isabelle. I mean, uh…” He got up and I did too, trying to stop if he was leaving as he continued, “...you were so convincing.”“I was—there’s a reason, Cole. Just lemme explain, please.”
Obsessed With My Stepbrother Chapter 22: I’ve had a Bad Life
Isabella’s Point of View:I reached the airport early in the morning the next day. It was still an hour before the flight time, so I was in long lines to pass the security and airline ticket check. My mind was already so polluted by thoughts on where and how I would find my mother — if I would be able to.And then came the worst part: I really wanted to avoid Achilles at all costs. My trip to Kansas was horrible with Chloe, Matt and him.Suddenly my phone rang and I was shocked to find the name “Stefan”. Seriously? He didn’t call me the last two weeks and now he suddenly remembered me when I was leaving?At 6 in the morning!?I picked it up.

Isabelle’s Point of View:“Wouldn’t you, Nicole?”Confused, I turned around. It was obviously…“You look different,” I suddenly blurted out, without another thought.“Different good or different bad?”“Neither,” I kept a straight face. “How do you know which name I had on my ID, Achilles?”He walked over to me and I tried to not flinch when he whispered against my ear: “Let’s talk somewhere else, shall we?”I stepped a

Isabelle’s Point of View:“So every fucking thing that happened between us was for a deal?” I interrupted him, my thoughts taking over my tone.“That’s not true, Isabelle—”“Shut up!” I shouted as I came to an epic realisation. It was not only the fact that he dismantled my life from the root, took away all the opportunities I had in my career, and made me leave my home country—but also that he seduced me and took my virginity—all for a fucking deal?“Is—” He stood up and took a step toward me, his hand stretching up in defence.
Obsessed With My Stepbrother Chapter 25: The Truth
Achilles’ Point of View:“Anna,” I said as I grabbed her attention. She looked at me with a cold gaze, her eyes fixed with boldness and her posture serious. I hadn’t seen her in a while, but the last time I did—she wasn’t like this.“Achilles,” Her voice had also changed a bit. It seemed to be more mature, but not in sound—more like in tone. She was more confident. “It’s been a while.”“I suppose,” I replied. “Why are you here?”“Remember when you told me I had nothing of myself?” She took a dominant step toward me. “Well I wanna challenge you.”
Obsessed With My Stepbrother Chapter 26: The Meeting
Achilles’ Point of View:Reaching Tokyo happened faster than I had anticipated—and that might have something to do with the fact that I fell asleep for some 12 hours.Anyway, the better part was that I’ll probably sleep again for two hours when I reach there to get freshened up and then I’ll be done with the meeting. I just couldn’t wait to get it over with. It has been some time since I’ve enjoyed life.As the flight descended and then finally landed, I hurried out and grabbed my luggage, reaching out to my phone and calling for the cab to pick me up. Obviously, my father had already scheduled one to pick me up when I arrived—I only had to make a call.I went over to the cab and sat down, and he took me to the hotel room: also pre-booked.So after I was setted in my room, I took out my phone and saw a text from an unknown person.“You’ll have to pay for what you’ve done. Soon, Achilles, soon.” ~ unknown.I scoffed. It wasn’t my first time to receive a threat, I’ve had worse. These ar
Obsessed With My Stepbrother Chapter 27: The Unknown Troll
Anna’s Point of View:As I saw Achilles walk away, I let out a breath of disgust. He wasn’t gonna get away with humiliating me and acting as if he were a God. I’ve had enough of this bullshit and there was only so long I was gonna stay quiet.Sure, he got to leave right now, but it wasn’t for long. He was gonna come back in a week and then, oh God help me, I will kill him.I will wipe that smirk right off his horrible face.“Anna, we should go,” I turned around and saw Oliver.I exhaled. “He’s gonna be dead, Oliver. I promise you.”“Hey, I get that you want revenge,” he kept a hand on my head and patted me, “But you should know your safety comes first. You know you have the very obvious option to let father handle it. He will vanish him out of existence within minutes. No one will find him, ever.”I shrugged my shoulder. “That’s exactly what he meant, Oliver. That my father can do it. I am not proving him right, okay?”“Well, that’s why I’m not stopping you from it,” He kept his hand
Obsessed With My Stepbrother Chapter 28: Obviously, It’s Not Me You Love
Isabelle’s Point of View:I was standing in front of my old house. Taking a deep breath, I walked toward the door and to my shock: it was indeed locked from inside. More so, I saw mom’s car in the backyard. She was definitely here, but why?Also, why wasn’t she picking up my calls? Why did she change her number? I was pretty sure she knew that I would know about her divorce no matter where I was. She didn’t even left me any messages before changing it.Well, I would probably know everything if I would just open the door and ask her. No matter what happened, I was pretty sure that she still loved me the same. I didn’t ever know what she thought of me and my behaviour in the last years while she was married to Mr Roman due to the same reasons — she became very quiet — but there was nothing I did that would make her not love me. I was her only daughter and she had loved me, in her own way. Even if she didn’t show it very often.I exhaled. Holding my breath, I rang the doorbell. As I rang

Obsessed With My Stepbrother Chapter 130: Promise
Achilles’ Point of View:I went back to my apartment as I made an anonymous tip to the police that somehow the rich billionaire had died. It was already over two hours, and Isabelle was probably waiting for me, so I didn’t want to waste any more time trying to clear up the mess at the mansion. My people had already managed the security tapes and the fingerprints.As soon as I reached my place and went inside, Isabelle ran up to me and hugged me. “Achilles.”“Hey,” I smiled at her. “Everything’s gonna be fine now.”She was confused at my words. I didn’t really know how she would react to this. I mean, she knew I was no saint and I had killed hundreds while working as a mafia leader, but right now I had murdered my own father and without any Mafia influence.But I couldn’t hide it. No more secrets. I had to tell her if I wanted her to trust me.“I killed my father.” Those words rolled out of my tongue, leaving her stunned.Her eyes widened. “What?”“Yes.”She took a few minutes as she st
Obsessed With My Stepbrother Chapter 129: Final Enemy
Achilles’ Point of View:“She didn’t cheat on you, Achilles!” Lucy shouted and my eyes snapped in her direction.“What are you saying?” I asked, my mind fogged by the words she was speaking. I didn’t want to talk about her, or the topic she was speaking on—let alone made me question the reality.“She told me. She told me that Mr. Roman had forced her to say that to you. And I know that I wasn’t supposed to tell you this, but I couldn’t bear to know the truth and still go home to my husband while you didn’t get to go home to your wife. She told me that she had to do it because your father said that if she didn’t, he’d kill you.” She said in one breath as she looked at me.
Obsessed With My Stepbrother Chapter 128: Revelation
Isabelle’s Point of View:I looked up and found Lucy standing. She gave me a hand, and helped me stand up. I slowly managed to stand on my feet, still lunging forward like a junkie.“Who—who was the highest bidder? Do you know?” I asked as I was dying to know who I was supposed to be a slave for.She smiled. “No one told me who it was, but whoever it was gave the highest money to the main mafia bank and set you free.”“What?” I thought she was kidding.“Yes,” She smiled again, this time wider. “There was an anonymous message on the table just after the bidding. It was to me, and it said that I should let you know that the highest bidder had
Obsessed With My Stepbrother Chapter 127: The Punishment
Isabelle’s Point of View:“She gets one wish before fulfilling her punishment, boss,” One of the men pointed out as the guards were dragging me away from the main room, and I saw that it was Romero.I looked over at Achilles who was staring right at me, his face stone cold. “What do you want?” He asked me across the room and I took a deep breath. I didn’t want anything but one thing—and this was probably the last chance I’d get.“I want to talk to Lucy once. In private.”He was confused at my request, but didn’t think about it much. “Let her. I will give you one hour. Her punishment will continue after that,” he looked at his men mid-conversation and then walked out of the room
Obsessed With My Stepbrother Chapter 126: Complications, Part II
Isabelle’s Point of View:I was on the ground, barely able to breathe. I didn’t know that hurting him would hurt me so much, I was out of my mind. My heart was shattering with every passing second thinking of the pain I had caused, my tears falling relentlessly.Mr. Roman wouldn’t have asked me to do this without making sure it could be supported by proof. I was sure he did something for that too. Achilles was going to hate me all over again. This time it was going to be even worse. And I… I wouldn’t be able to tell him how much I actually love him and would die for him, and would have to just stand there to take it.God, I had never felt this low in my entire life.It took him three hours—three hours before he knocke
Obsessed With My Stepbrother Chapter 125: Complications
Isabelle’s Point of View:“What’s wrong, Isabelle?” I heard mom say as she came out of the room and caught up with me. I was still in a daze from the conversation with Mr. Roman, cursing his name to the highest degree and replaying the conversation I was supposed to have with Achilles now.“Isabelle?” She called out again, finally getting my attention.“Oh, mom!” I said as my trail of thoughts ended. She looked at me, confused.“Where are you lost? I thought after your talk with Achilles, things would be better, no?” she asked, her voice laced with obvious concern.“Uh…” I exhaled. There was no use telling her what was happenin
Obsessed With My Stepbrother Chapter 124: Monstrous
Isabelle’s Point of View:After spending three hours of a very… amazing time with Achilles, he told me that he had to go back to the war. This time, it wasn’t as bad as when I heard the first time he left. Obviously, he bid me goodbye in the best way a person can, after meeting with mom and then paying a visit to the basement. It was as if everything was normal again, even though I just sent my husband in one of the most difficult mafia wars.I still couldn’t completely understand what happened. He was suddenly way more angry at me than he normally would be, and then now he was suddenly sorry?I guess I couldn’t judge a man like him against the parameters of a normal person. At the end of the day, I had to admit that I couldn’t be happier that I practically got him back. All my thoughts were killing me, and now it’s been quiet. A silent
Obsessed With My Stepbrother Chapter 123: Love is an Understatement
Achilles’ Point of View:“Do you want a divorce, Achilles?” Her voice rang in my ears, making my head spin round—and I scoffed.“No! No. What part of ‘I still love you’ screams ‘I want a divorce’ to you?” I said, my breath running out. She opened her eyes and looked at me, her eyes bearing an unreadable expression.“I just—I thought you were letting me down easy. Saying you still—you still loved me but…”“No,” I said and pulled her closer again, holding on to her and trying to reassure her. “God, Isabelle. I love you. No buts. No conditions. No complications.”I could feel her sob against me
Obsessed With My Stepbrother Chapter 122: Making Up For Lost Time
Achilles’ Point of View:After thinking for a few minutes, I walked over to Lucy’s room and knocked on her door. She had been here with Isabelle all this time, so she must know her feelings best. I knew I had to apologise to Isabelle, but the more I knew about how she felt, the better it would be.Lucy opened the door, shocked to see me. We barely ever interacted, and if we did, it was to convey a message to someone.“B-boss?” She asked with a little uncertainty and I exhaled.“I need to talk to you about something. Come in my room,” I said as I walked over to my room. I didn’t want to talk to her there because Isabelle might see us but I didn’t wanna barge in her private space either.As we reached my room, it was obvious she was scared and worried about what I wanted to talk about. “Relax. This is about Isabelle.”She nodded slowly, a load of tension leaving her forehead. “Have a seat,” I offered as I sat down on one of the chairs and gestured toward one from across to me.She sat d
