You are Mine, Stepbrother! Chapter 17
"You know what? Suit yourself," I said, turning my back on him. I walked out of his office without another word."Maxwell, get back here! Max...!" My dad's voice faded as I ignored him and kept walking.I stormed through the hallways, barely noticing anything around me. One of the receptionists called out, "Have a nice day, sir!" but I didn't even acknowledge her. My mind was racing, and I was furious.I pushed open the door and stepped outside, the fresh air hitting my face. I needed to clear my head. I took a deep breath and started walking, not sure where I was going but needing to get away.I found myself at a nearby park. It was quiet, with only a few people around. I sat on a bench, trying to calm down. My thoughts kept circling back to Anastasia. How could my parents be so blind? How could they not see what was happening to her?My phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw a text from my dad: "We need to talk. Come back."I stared at the message, feeling a mix of anger

Maxwell's POVI sighed, the tension easing slightly as we shifted to a more neutral topic. "Same old, same old," I admitted with a wry smile. "You know how my dad is—always rigid, always chasing after more money. It's been stressful, but we're pushing through.""That sounds tough," Scarlett sympathized, her tone genuine. "But I'm glad to hear you're managing.""Yeah," I nodded. "And how about you? What have you been up to?"She shrugged lightly, a flicker of a smile playing on her lips. "Oh, you know," she said casually. "Trying to keep busy. Nothing too exciting.""That doesn't sound like you," I teased gently, trying to lighten the mood. "I remember you always had a knack for finding excitement."She chuckled softly, a hint of her old self shining through. "Maybe I've changed," she mused. "Or maybe life has.""Maybe," I agreed, studying her face. Despite the sadness in her eyes, there was a resilience that hadn't dimmed. "You don't look bad yourself, you know," I added quietly.Scar

Anastasia’s POVI wake up from another slumber in hospital alone, Maxwell is still not back yet. I sigh beginning to worryabout my current predicament again.“Anastasia, my darling girl.” Bianca came into the room looking all happy that it begins to scare me.I refuse to say a word to a especially after our recent fight.“I am so proud of you, now you can work things out with your husband." My brows crease at her words.“Ryan is on his way, I couldn't hold down my excitement.”"What are you talking about?” I ask in confusion and in that moment my nurse, Sarah walks into the roomcautiously.“Although I'm upset you didn't tell me immediately you found out, it's no problem.” Bianca continuesyapping about and I'm about to demand she be rushed to the psychiatric ward.“I can't believe I am going to be grandmother and to Ryan Morgan’s child.” The devil herself shivers injoy as I sit there so stunned, I grow deaf to my surroundings."W-what a-are you talking about?” Fear gri

We get home that night and Maxwell doesn't leave my side till I manage to fall asleep. I wish we couldshare the same bed without the fear being caught by any of our parents or both. I have my long list ofinappropriate relationships already.It's past midnight when my bed creaks with a new weight. The forming smile on my face disappears whenI realize it's not Maxwell.“I didn't realize you would give me the greatest joy darling." My stepfather say.“What are you talking about?" I say in discomfort trying to untangle myself from his weight.“The baby, I'm happy you are having my child." Mr. Jaxon echoes joyfully.I finally free myself and get up from the bed.“What are you talking about, the baby is not yours, the baby cannot be yours, this is insane." I try toexplain.“But I thought-"“No, no, we had started fooling around barely two weeks ago, the baby cannot possibly be yours, whatwere you thinking."“Oh, I was hoping it was mine." My stepfather frowns, his usual c

“Max, no don't." I try to hold him back but he makes sure to land a few punches in.“Maxwell stop please." I cry out.“Don't you ever put your hands on her ever again." Max drags me from the room and to his own.“Max calm down." I try to ease his anger.“How could he do that to you." His pants out.“He's my father, how could he do something so disgusting.” He says breathing heavily." I'm so sorry, Ana, I'm really sorry.” Max hugs me to his body tightly. I am still reeling from the shock ofwhat just happened but what Max feels is also deep. Max is in pain knowing what his father can becapable of.He cuddles me in his bed and we both fall asleep.********When I wake up, Max is gone from the room.Someone knocks at the door and I hesitate to answer it before I hear Bianca’s voice from behind thedoor.“Ana, Anastasia are you in there?" Her annoying voice calls.“I have been searching for you." Is the first thing she says the moment I open the door.“Oh." I answer bore

“Anastasia baby." The bastard says surprised.“Yes dear husband, your beloved wife is back." I tell him smiling sweetly.“I-I- didn't know you were going to be here today." He stammers out putting his shorts on.“Of course you didn't, I wouldn't have been blessed and honored with this present scene." I roll my eyesat his stupidity.“I-I-, get out!" He tells the blonde girl who looks horrified, I almost feel bad for doing this.She's the one who trespassed into a married man's bed. What if I turned out to be a dedicated, angryand jealous real wife. She'd be in more danger.“Get out hell out of my house." He roars when she dumbly still lays on the bed unmoving. Even I just atthe rise of his voice but I strengthen my shoulders.“It's okay, you don't have to stop on my account, have fun dear husband."Ryan runs behind me all the way to my room.“Baby, I'm sorry, I mean it, I want us to work things out, I regret what I did, it will never happen again,now we have a baby, I pr

Maxwell’s POVWhen I had first left Anastasia's side, comforting her after the despicable trauma my own father inflictedupon her. I went straight to the authorities to make a report but the recent fight between me and mystepsister, I didn't get the chance to tell her she was needed in the station for evidence.If I could avoid her getting involved I would have but they couldn't arrest my father without evidence anda statement from the supposed victim herself. That was how those conniving bastards put it.The victim didn't make a statement, no evidence existed for the harassment so they couldn't just arrest a manof good, honourable social standing. I have never felt more disgusted at my father's use of his big, partialadvantage with his power.“I see you got yourself cleared from going to jail." I tell my father as I walk into the house and see himrelaxed on his expensive couch like he didn't just try to force himself on a girl who saw him as a fatherfigure.I chuckle at my o

I whisper to myself.I walk past the crowd and head straight for Ryan. “I'm not feeling too well, I need to go home."“What why, we just got here." He says nonchalantly, his attention divided.“I just told you, I don't feel too well." I whisper yell my eyes searching round the room to catch thatsimilar face.I'm not scared of Ryan finding out the truth. I owe the man nothing but yet, great anxiety fills me at thethought of everyone knowing I'm having an affair with my brother especially Bianca.If she knows about Maxwell how much more does she know?

“I'm so sorry Anastasia.” I hear Maxwell whisper, still not looking at me but I can see the glistening oftears in his eyes. “You might never forgive me but I'm so sorry Ana, I should have known you wouldn'thave done something like that, I should have trusted you.” Maxwell says and I wanted nothing more thanto be in his arms in these times.“No, I lied, you were in pain and you were being manipulated.” I say, I was hurt and I wasn't about to healanytime soon but Maxwell was as much as a victim in this, I have no idea how he must have felt all thetime he spent thinking the woman he loved killed his child.1“Thank you so much Ana, he's the greatest gift and redemption.” Maxwell says sniffling so hard.I hold my hand out towards him. “Come here.” I whisper, my own eyes glistening with tears.Maxwell slowly walks towards me like he was carrying the whole world on his shoulders.

Ana!!” I hear screams of my name coming from outside of the house, my already pulsing heartnearly stopped the moment I recognized who the voice belonged to.“Maxwell.” I whisper to myself, too weak to speak any louder.“Ana.” Loud footsteps march past the open wide doors and a disheveled looking Maxwell stands directlyin front of me.Confusion takes over his features first and then shock as his eyes access the situation and mess in theroom and then fear as he watches me bleeding out on the floor.“Ana?” He calls running towards me. “What happen

"That's good," I mutter tiredly. Seeing everything fall apart was all I wanted for so long, but now that it's actually happening, I find myself less interested than I expected.Jersey, standing across from me, studies my face carefully. "I think a warrant should be going out for both your mother and stepfather any moment now," she says quietly, her voice carrying a seriousness that matches the situation. "This is big, Ana. Are you okay?"I shrug, unsure how to answer. The truth is, I don't know what I’m feeling anymore. "Yeah, I guess," I say after a moment, trying to convince myself as much as her.Jersey doesn't seem to buy it. She watches me with concern, her brow furrowed. “You sure? It’s okay if you’re not, you know. This is... it’s a lot.”"Yeah," I repeat, softer this time. “I’m fine.”There’s a pause, thick and uncomfortable. Jersey looks like she wants to say something more, but instead, she rubs the back of her neck awkwardly. "I'm going to bed," she announces, and I know sh

“I would love to come along with you Ana, I don't think I've told you this before but I love to explore, I'vealways wanted to leave the country, relocate somewhere else, besides it's not like I have anything backhere or a family I'll miss. My job is the only thing I have and my job lies with you.” Jersey says chucklingand I let out a sad chuckles of my own.“But what about the business?” Jersey asks and I shrug in answer.“I have no idea but each step at a time, if I do decide to leave, we'll figure it out, together.” I say holdingJersey's hand closely to mine. I cannot possibly explain the relieve and joy that came at her answer, I feltwarm all over. I just needed Beatrice to also agree to come with me, I was not sure I was comfortable withleaving her behind with Ryan. She had motherly affection for Ryan so I would respect whatever decisionshe would make.Another thought immediately crosses my mind and I turn to Jersey with a mischievous smile on my face.“You know, I was also
You are Mine, Stepbrother! Chapter 96
Another thought immediately crosses my mind, and I can’t help the mischievous smile that spreads across my face. Jersey notices, raising an eyebrow slightly as I turn toward her. "You know," I begin, "I've been thinking." My voice has a playful lilt to it, though what I’m about to say is anything but a joke. "You’re really good at what you do in the jewelry business. Like, really good. You’ve been doing this longer than I have, and you know more about the inner workings than I ever could."Jersey's expression remains calm, though I can tell she’s wondering where this conversation is heading. She nods, a quiet acknowledgment of the compliment, but it’s clear she’s holding back a response, waiting for me to get to the point."You've taken care of the store long before I ever set foot in it," I continue, "and on top of that, you’ve always been the one looking out for everyone. You care so much about this place and the people in it." I pause, letting the words settle for a moment. “With
