HELLO EX! I'M YOUR STEP- AUNT (Beyond Our Control)/Gem Lynne

[Sophie’s POV]The taxi screeched to a halt in front of the house, and I jumped out, my heart racing with anticipation. I quickly handed the driver the fare, my lips curving into an excited smile. In my arms was a small box, its contents brimming with love and hope. I could barely contain my excitement.The house stood as it always had, a place of warmth and familiarity. The door was unlocked, a little surprising but not entirely out of place. Pushing it open, I stepped inside and let my eyes roam over the cozy living room. Memories of laughter and shared moments filled the air."Goodness, where's he hiding now?" I chuckled to myself, the sound of my own voice comforting in the quiet space.I set the box down gently on the table, untied my ponytail, and let my chestnut hair cascade over my shoulders. My fingers carefully lifted the lid of the box, revealing the cake I had spent hours perfecting. Its inscription read, “Happy Birthday to us, Honey,” a simple yet heartfelt gesture.Balan

[Damien’s POV]The sharp click of my shoes against the marbled floors of Black Cliff Hotel echoed with authority. Heads turned as I strode past, my tailored black suit fitting like a second skin. The guards at the entrance straightened instinctively, but I raised a hand, halting them before they could speak. "I don't need an escort," I said curtly, not breaking stride as I headed toward the elevators.Inside the lift, my assistant, Duffy, stood beside me, fidgeting slightly. He was efficient but always on edge around me. I preferred it that way—kept people from slacking. As the elevator ascended, Duffy cleared his throat and handed me my phone. "Sir, it's Aaron. He’s been calling repeatedly."I glanced at him, my tone flat. "I thought I said no calls until 5 p.m.""I know, but he insisted. He said it's urgent."With a sigh, I took the phone and answered. "What is it, Aaron?""Uncle Damien! Finally, I got through!" Aaron’s chipper tone grated on my nerves.I opened my mouth to respond

THREE HOURS EARLIER [Sophie’s POV]Paaa!The sting of my mother’s slap sent my head snapping to the side. The sound echoed in the expansive living room, drawing sharp gasps from my grandparents, cousin, and Aunt Wally.I pressed my trembling fingers to my burning cheek, my eyes stinging with unshed tears. I looked up to meet my mother’s furious gaze, her eyes brimming with pain and disappointment. Once, those eyes were filled with pride and affection. Now, they were sharp daggers aimed at my heart.“How dare you show up here after sidelining us for five years?” she spat, her voice trembling with emotion.“I…” My voice cracked, and I swallowed hard. I knew she’d be angry, but I hadn’t anticipated the depth of her wrath. Yet, I couldn’t blame her. I deserved this. After all, I had walked away from them when they needed me most.“Why have you come back now? Why?” she demanded, her voice rising as she took a step closer.I grasped her hands tightly, even as she tried to pull away. “I’m s

[Sophie’s POV]My hands clenched the contract paper as I gazed at Damien across the room. The air felt heavier than it had been moments ago. I inhaled sharply, gathering my courage. There was no turning back now. If I wanted my revenge, this man—this ex-step-uncle of mine—would be my ticket. But I wasn’t going to let emotions or complications ruin my plans.“I have three rules,” I started, my voice firm. Damien’s eyes, sharp and assessing, met mine as if daring me to continue.“Go on,” he said, leaning back casually on the sofa, his posture too relaxed for the intensity in his gaze.“No emotional attachments. I don’t want us pretending there’s anything real between us. This is purely a business arrangement.” I locked my eyes on his, willing him to see how serious I was.He smirked. “Fair enough. What’s next?”“No physical intimacy,” I added, my tone clipped. My cheeks flushed slightly as the words left my lips, but I held my ground. “That means no touching unless it’s absolutely neces
