The Obsession Of My Stepbrother Chapter 49
For a moment, he didn’t answer. The sound of the waves against the boat filled the space between them, mingling with the faint echo of rain still lingering from the night before. Then, softly but undeniably clear, he spoke. “I’ve always been in love with you, Eloise.” Her head snapped toward him, eyes wide, lips parting in disbelief. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. Instead, her heart thundered so loudly she was sure he could hear it too. Dino kept his eyes on her, vulnerability written across his face in a way she’d never seen before. No teasing smirk. No cocky bravado. Just raw honesty. “I know I was a bastard back then,” he continued, voice hoarse. “I know I pushed you, mocked you… hurt you. But even then, somewhere deep down, it was because you made me feel something I couldn’t understand.” Eloise’s throat tighten

Behind Jess, Matteo and Luca trailed in, looking mildly exhausted but entertained. “Yeah,” Matteo said, smirking. “Luca and I went to pick her up from the mainland.” Jess gave a dramatic sigh, setting her bag down. “Took them long enough. I missed my girl, so here I am.... and a wedding coming up.” Eloise couldn’t help but laugh, the weight in her chest easing slightly as Jess threw her arms around her in a hug. “Though, you could use some company,” Jess murmured close to her ear, pulling back with a knowing look. Eloise smiled, glancing over Jess’s shoulder just in time to catch Dino watching them quietly from across the room. Their eyes met briefly, just enough to send a pulse racing through her. “Looks like dinner’s going to be interesting tonight,” Luca quipped as he shrugged off his jacket. Matteo chuckled under his breath. “More than interesting.” Anne simply shook her head, amused, before excusing herself back to the kitchen. Eloise swallowed, her gaze flickin

The night air was cool against Eloise’s skin when she stirred awake, tangled in the sheets. Her room was dim, moonlight slicing through the curtains. But sleep felt impossible. Her heart still felt tight from the conversation with Jess, the memory of Dino’s lips pressing gently against hers replaying over and over like a record she couldn’t stop. She swallowed, realizing the taste of him still lingered faintly on her lips. Restless, she threw on a thin sweater over her tank top and quietly padded out of the room, careful not to wake Jess. The villa was quiet, only the sound of the waves crashing outside. She didn’t have a plan. She just needed air. But the moment she stepped into the hallway, she froze. Dino was there, leaning casually against the wall at the end of the hall, his head resting back as if he’d been waiting… or maybe trying to shake off his own demons. His hair was tousled, dark eyes shadowed in the low light, and his sharp jaw flexed when he noticed her. For a sec

“You can tell me to stop,” Dino murmured, voice thick, strained, but his thumb was brushing along her jaw so delicately, like she was something precious. Eloise shook her head faintly, chest heaving. “I don’t want you to.” That was all he needed. He kissed her again, slower now, deeper, tasting every inch of her mouth like he couldn’t get enough. His hand slid under the hem of her sweater, fingers brushing over the bare skin at her waist. The touch sent a shiver through her... so light, so electrifying it made her knees weaken. She gasped softly, clinging to his shoulders, nails digging in just slightly as his lips trailed down to the corner of her mouth, then lower, brushing against the sensitive skin just below her jaw. Each kiss left her dizzy, wanting more, needing more. “Dino…” she breathed, voice trembling, almost pleading without realizing it. He smiled faintly against her skin, pulling back just enough to meet her eyes again. His gaze burned into her, a soft, reverent l

Just then... The door slid open. “Oh, shit!” Jess’s voice rang out, eyes wide like saucers as she froze at the doorway. Eloise jolted, heart hammering, but Dino didn’t even flinch. Cool as ever, he simply looked over his shoulder, one hand still firmly on Eloise’s waist. “Jess,” he greeted casually, voice like he hadn’t just been seconds away from devouring Eloise whole. Jess blinked, mouth opening and closing like she couldn’t form words fast enough. “I... I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything,” she sputtered, slamming the door shut so fast the walls shook. Eloise buried her face against Dino’s chest, mortified. “Oh my god.” He laughed softly, lips brushing the top of her head. “Guess that wasn't bad at all.” Her face burned, but his arms only tightened around her. “I don't really care,” he murmured against her hair. “I don't think I'm letting you go.” Later that night, after everything had quieted down, Jess cornered Eloise in their room, arms folded, one brow raised

Across the space, Dino stood stiffly by the drinks table, glass in hand, eyes sharp and fixed on the pair. His jaw tightened slightly as Matteo leaned in to whisper something that made Eloise laugh... something that wasn’t meant to sting, but did all the same. Beside Dino, Luca sidled up, catching the direction of his brother’s gaze. "So this is it, huh?" Luca teased, nudging him lightly. "Family." Dino’s lips pressed into a thin line, saying nothing. Luca chuckled, taking a sip of his drink. "I always wanted a sister, you know. Though, I gotta say..." he glanced at Dino sideways, smirking..."she might be the only one who can handle you. You can be pretty boring sometimes." Dino shot him a look but didn’t deny it. His attention flicked back to Eloise, her soft smile, the way she moved so easily with Matteo. Luca's words lingered in the air, light and teasing, but Dino barely reacted. His focus remained glued to the dance floor, watching as Matteo effortlessly made Eloise l

The wedding reception slowly shifted into a more relaxed, intimate after party. Guests who remained were family and friends, laughter mingling with the soft hum of music as the night stretched on. Eloise found herself seated with Jess and Matteo, nursing a drink while conversation ebbed around her. Across the terrace, Dino stood in a quiet circle with Luca and Alessandro, but every so often, his gaze flicked toward her always brief, always unreadable. Matteo leaned back in his chair, glancing between the two of them knowingly but saying nothing. Instead, he stretched his arms lazily, flashing her an easy grin. "Enjoy tonight while you can, Eloise. Once we’re back in New York, it’s back to chaos." She laughed softly, but her heart tightened at the mention of returning. As the night wound down, Alessandro and Anne made their rounds, thanking guests one last time. When they stopped b

Eloise excused herself quickly, retreating to the room she’d been assigned. She needed space to breathe, to unpack literally and emotionally. But as she closed the door behind her, she couldn’t help but lean against it, Dino’s voice still echoing in her head. Tomorrow’s work. Back to normal. Back to pretending. Her chest tightened. Eloise dropped her suitcase by the bed, blowing out a sharp breath. “Is he kidding me?” she muttered under her breath, pacing the room. Not even twenty four hours back and Dino was already acting like Hawaii hadn't happened... like they hadn’t kissed, hadn’t touched, hadn’t nearly unraveled everything holding them together. She yanked open her suitcase a little too hard, frustration bubbling beneath her calm exterior as she unpacked. Each movement sharp, purposeful, as i

The room spun as Alex's weight pressed down on her, his breath hot and thick with whiskey. The scent clung to him, suffocating her, making her stomach churn. Ashley squeezed her eyes shut, willing herself anywhere but here. His hands were rough, unrelenting, tearing at the fabric of her dress as if it had personally offended him. The sound of ripping filled the silence a sharp, cruel reminder of how little her resistance meant. "Alex, please," she whispered, but the words barely scraped past her throat. He ignored her. His mouth dragged over her skin, sloppy and possessive. His grip was bruising, fingers digging into her hips, his body pressed so tightly against hers that she could barely breathe. "You’re mine," he muttered against her collarbone, his voice thick with drunken arrogance. "You always will be." A tear slipped down her cheek. Ashley pushed against his chest, her hands trembling, but he barely noticed. Or maybe he did and just didn’t care. "Stop," she tried

The silence stretched between them like an invisible thread, tying them together in a strange, heavy comfort. Dino could feel the weight of the unspoken words hanging in the air, his mind running over everything that had been said—and everything that hadn’t been said. His father’s voice still echoed in his ears, the words sharp and demanding. And yet, here he was, sitting next to Eloise, as if everything was fine.As if he could just forget about the suffocating pressure from his father and the constant expectations that seemed to define his every move.Dino glanced at Eloise again. Her eyes were focused on the TV screen, but there was something in her posture—a subtle tension in the way her body was angled, her lips pressed together—that told him she wasn’t as absorbed in the show as she appeared to be.He couldn’t help but wonder what she was thinking. Was she still bothered by the way he had been distant lately? Or was she starting to understand why he had been pulling away?He did

His words were a slap to the face. Her entire body tensed, grief and anger clashing inside her like a storm. She opened her mouth, trying to find her voice, trying to say something... But before she could, Alex leaned in close, his breath hot against her ear. "Don’t make things more difficult than they already are," he murmured, his tone deceptively soft. Then, just like that, he released her. He straightened his tie, his polished smile slipping back into place as if nothing had happened. And then he left her standing there. Alone. Like always. Ashley pushed open the door to the restroom and stepped inside, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor. Her breathing was shallow, her hands trembling as she locked herself inside one of the stalls. The moment she was alone, the dam broke. Silent, gut wrenching sobs wracked her body as she leaned against the cold metal wall, her fingers gripping the fabric of her dress. The pain of everything, the loss of her

Dino’s phone rang again, and he groaned, already knowing who it was. He glanced at the screen Father and sighed. With a heavy pause, he answered, his voice taking on that familiar cool, distant tone.“Yeah?”His father’s voice came through the line, clear and commanding. “Dino, I need you at the office tomorrow.”Dino rubbed the back of his neck, already feeling the tension in his shoulders rise. “What for? I thought Luca was handling things.”“He is, but I need your input on something specific. These contracts with the foreign investors... this is big. I can’t leave this to anyone else.” His father’s tone was terse, and it didn’t leave much room for argument.Dino’s eyes briefly flickered to Eloise, who had turned her attention to the television, though her posture was rigid, as though she was trying to seem casual but clearly wasn’t. He rubbed his face, fighting the wave of frustration bubbling up inside. “I’m still dealing with things here. I’ve got enough on my plate.”“Enough? It

But as much as she enjoyed this distraction, she knew she couldn’t avoid Dino forever. And she had a feeling that when she got back home, he’d be waiting. Eloise stood at the entrance of the estate, gripping the strap of her bag as she stared at the sight before her. Sandra was draped over Dino like she belonged there, her manicured fingers tracing slow, lazy circles on his chest as she laughed at something he said. Eloise swallowed hard, forcing herself to take a deep breath. You knew this would happen, she told herself. You knew she’d be here. But knowing didn’t make it any easier. Dino hadn’t noticed her yet, too caught up in whatever Sandra was saying. Or maybe... maybe he had noticed and just didn’t care. That thought stung more than she wanted to admit. She stepped further inside, her heels clicking against the floor, finally drawing their attention. Dino’s gaze snapped to her instantly, his body tensing for just a fraction of a second before his expression smoothed into

Eloise groaned, sinking deeper into the couch. “You’re impossible.”Jess grinned, completely unfazed. “And yet, you love me.” She tossed a piece of popcorn into her mouth. “So, tell me how did this even happen? One minute you and Dino are bickering like enemies, and the next, you’re tangled in the sheets?”Eloise exhaled, staring at the ceiling as the memories flooded back. The way he had looked at her. Touched her. Claimed her. She felt the heat creeping up her neck and covered her face with her hands.“Eloise,” Jess nudged her. “Details. I need details.”Eloise peeked at her through her fingers. “Jess, I’m not going to sit here and narrate my sex life to you.”Jess pouted. “But I live for this kind of gossip.” She crossed her arms. “Fine. I’ll respect your privacy—”Eloise sighed in relief.“—but at least tell me who made the first move?”Eloise hesitated before muttering, “Him.”Jess gasped dramatically. “No way!

Eloise: Girl's hangout with Jess Then she tossed the phone to the couch immediately... Jess watched her closely, a smirk tugging at her lips. “That bad, huh?” Eloise crossed her arms and slumped back into the couch. “I don’t want to deal with it right now.” Jess hummed. “So, let me get this straight... you can spend an entire night thinking about him, but the second he reaches out, you shut down?” Eloise shot her a glare. “I am not shutting down.” Jess arched a brow. “Oh, really? Because it looks a lot like you just threw your phone like it personally offended you.” Eloise exhaled, rubbing her temples. “I just—” Before she could finish, her phone buzzed again. Jess lunged for it before Eloise could stop her. “Ooh, let’s see what he said.” “Jess, don’t—” But it was too late. Jess already had the phone in her hands, her eyes scanning the screen. Then she let out a low whistle. “Oh. Oh, girl, he’s pissed.” Eloise snatched her phone back and hesitantly looked at t
