Semua Bab I ACCIDENTALLY KISSED MY HOT STEPBROTHER : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Aurora barely slept. She spent the entire night staring at the ceiling, the weight of what had happened pressing down on her chest like a heavy chain. Edward had seen the death certificate. Liam had smirked at him like he was untouchable. And now? Now, they were in a war neither of them could escape from. Aurora didn’t know what scared her more—the fact that Edward knew or the fact that Liam didn’t care. By the time morning arrived, her nerves were shot. She got ready in silence, forcing herself into her usual routine, trying to pretend that everything was normal. But as she drove to campus, her mind wouldn’t stop racing. Liam was going to kill Edward. That was the truth. That was his plan. And no matter how much she wanted to stay out of it—she couldn’t. Not now. Not when she was already in the middle of it. Aurora pulled into the parking lot, gripping the steering wheel tightly before forcing herself to exhale. She needed to breathe. She needed to p

Aurora ran through the hallway, her heart racing faster than her footsteps.She didn’t stop to think. She didn’t care about the stares from other students or the teachers yelling at her to slow down. Her mind was screaming just one thing over and over again.Liam.Something was wrong.She had seen it in Edward’s eyes—the way he stood in that doorway like he owned the world. The fake calmness in his voice, the calculating smirk on his face.He hadn’t come to talk.He had come to threaten.And Liam? Liam had looked ready to face it. Like he didn’t care what happened next.Aurora burst out the back doors of the school and leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.What was she doing?She wasn’t supposed to care. She wasn’t supposed to feel this much.But every time Liam got close to danger, something inside her snapped. She wanted to hate him. She still did. But now… it wasn’t enough.She couldn’t shake the image of him sitting on that piano, talking about his mother like he’d lost the

Chapter 16Aurora sat on the edge of her bed, knees pulled to her chest, the burner phone still resting on the floor where she dropped it.The message kept flashing through her head like a warning she couldn’t erase.“Take the girl. Use her if he steps out of line.”Her heart hadn’t stopped pounding since she read those words.What did it mean?Was Liam protecting her? Using her?Or had she been nothing more than a pawn from the beginning?A knock sounded on her door.Aurora didn’t answer.She didn’t want to talk. Not now. Not to anyone.But the door opened anyway.Her mother waltzed in, wearing a silk robe and dripping in jewelry, like she had just walked out of a magazine shoot instead of the bedroom down the hall.She didn’t even look concerned.“Aurora,” she sighed, waving a perfectly manicured hand. “Why are you sitting in the dark like some sad Victorian ghost? Open a window, breathe a little.”Aurora didn’t move. “What do you want?”Her mother raised a brow, walked straight to

Chapter 18It was real.Aurora stood frozen, staring at the strange red mark burned into Liam’s chest.A twisted “R” with wings, like it had been seared into his skin long ago.She reached out without thinking, her fingers barely grazing the scar. It was raised. Old. Permanent.Liam didn’t flinch. He just stood there, watching her with tired eyes.“You were marked,” she whispered. “Like property.”He slowly pulled his shirt back down. “That’s what happens when you belong to the Crimson Sons.”Aurora stepped back, heart pounding in her chest. “So it’s true.”Liam nodded once. “I’m one of them.”She blinked. “But why? Why would you join a gang that works with your father? That kills people?”His jaw tightened. “Because I didn’t have a choice.”Aurora’s voice cracked. “Everyone has a choice, Liam.”He looked at her then. Really looked. “Not when someone you love is on the line.”She stilled.He ran a hand through his hair, pacing a little as if the memories were too heavy to stand still

Chapter Twenty Aurora walked through the quiet hallway, her mind swirling with questions. The note in her bag still burned like a secret against her side. She was on her way to meet Jace in Room 105, just like he asked. She didn’t know what he wanted—but anything was better than sitting around wondering if Liam was still lying to her.As she crossed the back lot, she passed the old school garage. The door was half-open. She heard it first—soft laughter, then a muffled moan. She slowed, her brows drawing together. Something about the sound made her chest tighten. She stepped quietly to the side, near a dusty window, and peeked through.Her heart dropped. Inside, she saw Liam. He was pressed up against a car, his hands tangled in a girl’s hair.Jessica.Her legs were wrapped around his waist, her head thrown back as Liam kissed down her throat, rough and hungry. His hands gripped her hips hard, grinding into her.Aurora’s body locked. She couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe. She watched Li
