​With the grocery bags pressed to my chest, I take my time strolling down the idle street, it’s empty, understandable at this time of the day.

The more I think about everything, the more insane it all becomes.

The fact that less than twenty four hours ago I was putting on the show of my life with a mask on my face and a different name, for men who’d paid a fortune just to see me in that light. For my step-brothers.

There’s a massive difference between writing fantasies about them on paper, a whole other world from everything that happened last night.

I want to hate myself for it.

I want to not replay the memories back in my head as often as I do.

I want to never want a repeat.

But I can’t. No matter how hard I try.

It feels like a horrible itch I’ve only now been able to scratch. The dirtiest, most demented parts of me coming to life and relishing in the dreams that have now become my reality.

If I had the chance to go back, I know without a doubt that I’d do it all over again.

And it

    Oh no. This is bad.One glance outside the window tells me it’s well past seven pm. I have less than three hours before I have to meet whoever sent me the letter. I need to find out who it is.I move to the windows, shoving at them to see if there’s any give, trying to look for another exit. But I come up short. There’s no other door, the windows are screwed in.I pace and pace, hours later. My anxiety brewing and threatening to overflow the darker the sky gets.It’s almost ten o’clock.What if this person decides to reveal my secret? Dread settles like lead in my belly. They know where I live, they know my real name. The longer I think about it, the more the possibility solidifies.It didn’t seem like they had intentions to harm me though, rather to warn me. But about what?I chew at my thumbnails, listening as music pours in from the upper level of the house, the bass echoing above me.Another one of Dad’s business events. I cant pound on the doors because it would be useless, the m

    My heartbeats falter.Me?I couldn’t have heard him right. His eyes are locked on my face, studying my reaction.“Y-you wrote this about… me?”He remains quiet.“Rune-”He barks out a laugh then, getting to his feet, “Don’t be stupid, Cinderella. Of course it’s not about you, you’re my sister.” He has his back to me, shoving the guitar back where he found it.Right.His sister.And I feel gratitude then, followed by a wash of shame. Grateful he didn’t see my disappointment, but ashamed I had it in me to be disappointed at all.Of course it wasn’t about me.“Alright then, a deal’s a deal.” He walks up to me, holding out a set of keys. I reach for them, but he pulls his arm back, holding up a finger.I scowl, “We had a deal, Rune.”“Tell me something first,” his voice is low, he pauses for a second, “What’s he like?”My brows draw together, “Who?”His eyes rove over my face, “The guy you’re going to meet.”Oh.“He’s… well,” I stammer, “He’s nice, I guess.”“You like nice guys then?”I f

    ​I pivot on my heel, coming face to face with Stella McMichael, one of the it girls I used to go to high school with.She smiles like we’re long lost friends, grabbing my shoulders and pulling me into a hug, or her definition of one, pressing two air kisses to both of my cheeks. It’s odd, considering in all the time we’d known each other she’d barely ever said more than two words to me.“It’s been forever!” She prunes, pulling back with a too wide smile that doesn’t even reach her eyes, “You’re still so…” She gives me a slow once over, “Different.”I cringe, “Thanks? I guess.”She waves a dismissive hand, “Oh, it’s no bother.” She links her arm in mine, moving me away from the door.“Uh,” I say, “Actually there’s somewhere-”She gasps, interrupting me, “Is that who I think it is?”My eyes follow her line of sight, to Kane standing off in the distance. He’s alone, a glass tumbler of whiskey in his hand. The sight of him makes me pause, thoughts I try my damnest to push away rushing thr

    Emaine marches toward me, fury lining her features, she grabs my arm, fingers digging into my skin harshly, “What are you doing here?”My throat closes up, I cant get a word out, my eyes bouncing around the room. A few guests glance at us, curious about the commotion.“How did you get out of the basement?” She growls, dragging me out of the room, “Oh, girl, by the time I’m through with you-”“Sweetheart.”Emaine stops at the sound of my fathers voice. He walks up behind us with a smile, nodding at his guests as he approaches.His smile thins, but doesn’t slip of his face for appearances, his voice drops, “Don’t make a scene, dear.” He slips an arm around my shoulders, his voice rising then, “And our daughter can stay of course, I’m sure she just wants to have a good time, feel among. As a matter of fact, there’s someone I’d like her to meet.”A man comes into my line of sight, one I recognize. He’s a family friend, one of Dad’s oldest business partners. “You remember Daniel Miller, do

    My eyes widen, I pause, “Yes,” I say, “Yes, that’s me.”He smile widens, she holds out the package to me, “Someone left this here for you. She said to tell you she’s a friend.”I take it, thanking her before she walks away. I stare at her retreating form for a moment, before making my way out the door.It’s pouring already.The cars fly by, not a single cab in sight. Sighing, I start the trek home. But I’ve barely been walking for two minutes when a sleek black car pulls up beside me. The drivers window rolls down, and irritation builds inside me once I see his face.Daniel smiles at me, “You ran off, Love.”I muster a smile, “I had something to take care of, I’m going back home now.”“Hop inside,” He says, “I’ll give you a ride.”“No, thank you.” I say, no part of me wants to be alone in a car with someone like him, “It’s a short walk.”“Don’t be silly, Love.” I grit my teeth at the word ‘love’. “Come on in, you’ll get all wet.” His eyes trail down my body as he says it, lingering on

    ​Daniel spits on the ground, wiping at his bloody mouth as he gets to his feet.“Get in the car.” Kane says.“And just what do you think you’re doing, Daddy’s boy?” Daniel staggers in our direction. I shy away from him, stepping behind Kane. “I’ll tell your father about this, lets see how much of a tough guy you are when I bring your empire crumbling around you.” He steps forward, reaching for me, “And this little slut-”Kane’s arm darts out in the blink of an eye, grasping the side of Daniels head and slamming it against the cement wall. The sickening crack makes me jump back as he crumbles to the ground, groaning in pain.“Kane-”He turns around, his eyes hard, “Get in the fucking car.”I bite my tongue, swallowing my words back. A shiver rolls through me as I make my way to his Aston Martin double parked on the street. Something heavy drapes around my shoulders.His suit coat.He holds open the car door for me, I hesitate before going in. “Thank you.”His jaw ticks.I get into his

    He tosses the keys on the desk, loosening his tie as he walks up to the phone.I watch him, silently shivering in the corner, trying to make myself as small as possible. Something tells me I won’t be able to withstand the force of his wrath through the rest of the evening.“Warm towels.” He speaks into the receiver, “Water, something hot… a beverage… yes. Make it quick.” Once the call ends, he runs a hand through his wet hair, disappearing into the bathroom. He comes out a moment later.“There’s hot water.” He says, not even meeting my eyes, “Shower.”His tone leaves no room for argument.I do as he says, mostly because I might catch pneumonia if I don’t.I’m hesitant to leave the bathroom, the only item provided is a tiny towel that barely covers my ass. That, and the fact that I’m less than enthusiastic at facing a pissed off Kane.But I’m not a coward.There’s a steaming cup untouched set on the table. He has his hands folded across his chest as he leans against the wall, his eyes

    ​​​​​He didn’t come back till this morning.And even then he was stoic, wordless and he waited for me to get dressed and follow him to his car. I don’t know where he spent the rest of the night.The small space is filled with so much tension on the drive back home. I don’t linger once he pulls into the driveway, attempting to jump out the car like my seat is on fire. He grabs my arm before I can.He looks at me, his eyes carefully watching me as a beat passes, before dropping to my bruised wrist, “Put ice on it.”And then he lets go.I get out of the car without a word.My father shoves the front door open like he’s been waiting on my arrival, his eyes livid as I walk up the front steps. “You had one single instruction, keep my guest entertained!” He seethes, “And what did you do?”My eyes widen at the animosity he directs at me, “Dad, I-”“Daniel called.” Emaine walks out of the front door, a sneer twisting the top of her lip, “You never fail to show your lack of ability to get any

    My eyes have been shut this whole time that when I open them I realize none of this makes sense but I don’t even care. I get off him and kiss him so hard I’m sure I left a bruise somewhere. I finally allow us to breathe. “I’m so sorry baby.” I whisper whilst hugging him. “Shh..” he says and rubs my back. I step away and he wipes my tears. “I know you have many questions.” He says whilst holding my waist. I nod with snot probably coming out of my nose. “Ask.” He says. He’s trying to distract me. “How are you here.. the letter! Your silence on the phone? London?” I speak without thinking . “Michale called yesterday. He told me he didn’t want to tell me about your wedding but I told him we already met and you told me about it. He then told me it’s happening today but I still didn’t want to bother. I had concluded that I’d kill myslef the day you get married. So I was prepared until he told me the kind of danger you might be in and I immediately got on the plane. The only

    “I’m so sorry Leo.” I say but he ignores me and I can see his heart shattering. I know how much he loved his sister even though he loved to pretend otherwise. I then look at Luca who seems to be staring at Isabel like he’s in a trance. He’s not even crying. There’s not even tears. He’s just staring at her. I sit flat on the floor between the two dead bodies whilst the war outside is still happening so it’s not like I can go anywhere. Elena suddenly calls my name but I’m too shocked to look at her. She shows up in front of me and hands me the same envelope that mom gave her. I take it from her and open it. I look down first because I want to see who it’s from, this is not the time. I see the name Kane there and I immediately start to get the most painful headache ever. I close my eyes and I could swear I’m in a trance where all I’m seeing are memories. They're all coming back. Rune was my stepbrother. Leonard killed him. I loved Kane alot and I also loved Rune a lot. Emaine

    I sigh when I realize Michael and I have walked past half of the aisle and look up. I finally have eye contact with Leonard and the way he looks at me makes me want to drop my gaze back down. He looks amazing in his black suit. His hair is slicked back as well and he’s carved his beard. He’s staring at me like I’m the best thing he’s ever seen and that makes me smile. We finally reach the small stairs and Michael untangles his hand from mine. I see him glare at Leonard before he lets me go and I walk up the stairs. I stand right in front of Leonard. He's on the right side whilst I’m on the left. The priest is in the middle. My girls are behind me and vice versa with Leonard’s men. I so badly want to ask Shannon where Emaine is but I don’t think it’s appropriate. I hear some whispers whilst I’m up here but I can’t hear what their saying. Everyone sits down and I finally hear someone say that it’s not right for my mom to be here but the king's mother isn't. I snort and Leonard rai

    One week later I’ve been thinking about Kane and I’s conversation all day and my heart feels like it's exploding every time. I don’t know whether it’s the memories of my past that have been coming back lately but they are affecting the way I feel about this entire situation. Leonard decided to rush our wedding because he felt like something bad would happen in between. Apparently the rebels are angry at me for betraying them. they’ve started to riot again. I didn’t betray them but it sure as hell looks like I am now that I’m getting married to one of the revolution's enemies. They must be feeling the same way Michael feels. I would definitely try to find who is commanding them now that me, Michael and Luca are no longer there just so that I could talk to them and try to find a reasonable understanding or come to an agreement between one another to stop the violence and just let the wicked leaders lead. The people will handle it during the elections when they are choosing their own l

    I lean back in the seat, tracing the edge of the invitation card in my lap. It’s still strange, seeing my name next to Leonard’s in elegant, golden script. I went to see them today, to invite Michael, Elena, Shannon, and the others to the wedding. A part of me hoped they’d all be there, that maybe they’d want to share this with me. But every single one of them declined. Their rejections feel like tiny, sharp pinpricks, pressing deeper the more I think about it. As we slow at a red light, I glance out the window, watching people hurry across the street, faces blending into each other. Then I freeze. In the car beside me, a familiar face leans against the window, lost in thought—Kane. My heart skips. Without thinking, I lean forward and tap the driver’s shoulder. “Please, pull over. Right here.” He raises his eyebrows at me through the rearview mirror but nods, steering us to the curb. I roll down my window, sticking my hand out to catch Kane’s attention. “Kane!” I call softly, hop

    Everyone keeps congratulating me but for some reason I don’t even feel like this is real. Leonard told me he doesn’t want to waste much time on our wedding and I agreed so we’re getting married in a week. I decided to go to kanes place to tell Michael and the others. For some reason I can’t get Kane out of my mind….ever since he helped me that day by getting me away from that weird ass man in the library stuck with me and I haven't been able to thank him. I didn’t even thank him for trying to get to me the time that Leonard had kidnapped me. Leonard invited his hateful relatives for our engagement. Apparently the tradition is that they have to all come and dine with me, I refused to do so.. they came regardless but I wasn’t there to see them. Leonard had understood that I needed to leave so he let me go to kanes place which is where I’m heading now. He insisted that I take some of his guards so I did. I don’t know how Shannon, Michael, Elena, Luca and even Kane will take this news…

  • Obsessed with my billionaire stepbrothers    Kane

    Hearing that Aurelia was in love with Leonard was one thing but seeing it in her eyes did something to me. The moment we got home I didn’t speak to anyone no matter how much they tried to get me to speak. There’s no use for me to stay in Rome if the reason I’m here is clearly gone… I don’t want to give up but as long as she doesn’t have her memory back I have to leave. I decided to write her a letter, I hope that when she gets to read this her memory will be back. I’m presently packing. I'm going back to London. I don’t plan on getting talked out of this so I’m planning on going when everyone’s asleep besides Shannon, I'm going to give her the letter personally because I know she’ll deliver my message. I step out of my room silently and knock on her door a few times. She opens it whilst brushing her eyes with her hands. She looks like she hasn’t been sleeping… but she does look very tired. “Kane?” she asks, voice hushed. "What are you doing here? And...with a suitcase?" I st

    I sit in my room, the dim light casting shadows on the walls. My heart still races from the commotion downstairs. I expected my mother, Shannon, to leave with the rest of them, but she didn’t. She’s here. I hear her soft footsteps approaching before there’s a light knock on the door. “Aurelia, may I come in?” she asks, her voice gentle but firm, like always. “Yeah,” I whisper, unsure of what to expect. My fingers fidget in my lap as she steps in and closes the door behind her. She sits beside me on the bed, the mattress dipping slightly under her weight. There’s a brief silence as she studies me, her eyes soft but observant, the way a mother’s should be. I look away, my throat tight, already feeling the emotions bubbling up. I know what this is about. “I didn’t leave with the others because I needed to talk to you,” Shannon says, her voice soft but serious. She reaches out, taking my hand. Her touch is warm, familiar, and it instantly begins to break down the walls I’ve tried to

    I sit on the edge of the couch, my eyes scanning the room. Kane leans against the wall, arms crossed, his face unreadable. Shannon and Luca sit across from each other, both looking deep in thought. Elena is quiet, but I can feel her eyes on me, waiting. Emaine sits off to the side, her posture stiff, clearly uncomfortable. I clear my throat, trying to break the silence. "The revolution has been regrouping. We don’t know who their new leader is, but I have reason to believe they’re planning to take action soon." Kane uncrosses his arms, his lips curling into a grim smirk. “Let them. If their first plan is to kill Leonard, I’d be more than happy to let them.” Before I can respond, Shannon jumps in. "That’s not a good idea, Kane. Especially if Aurelia isn’t leading them anymore. They see her as a traitor. If they try to kill Leonard, they’ll go after her too." Her words hang in the air, and I can feel the tension rising. Luca’s phone suddenly rings, cutting through the weight of the
