last update publish date: 2026-06-17 09:04:08
The walls of this holding cell are sweating, and honestly, so am I. It’s been almost forty-eight hours of flickering fluorescent lights, the smell of industrial bleach, and the kind of bone-deep chill that no amount of shivering can fix.

I’m huddled in the corner of the narrow cot, hugging my knee

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 213

    The striking, facial structure. Sydney is an absolute, undeniable replica of the woman in the vintage photograph—Tobias’s mother. The almost psychotic protectiveness Tobias has shown toward Sydney from the very first moment he met her. The massive financial safety nets he threw under her, the fact

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 212

    Before I can even open my mouth to apologize for breaking into his house, Tobias speaks. His voice is incredibly quiet, completely devoid of its usual sharp authority, yet it carries a heavy, haunting weight that pins me right to the carpet. "For years..." he murmurs, his finger continuing its slow

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 211

    I stand frozen on the gravel path, the engine of Sydney’s departing car roaring in my ears. I watch the taillights of her vehicle bounce over the cemetery threshold, disappearing completely from sight, and with every inch of distance she puts between us, my heart shatters into a million jagged, irre

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 210

    My throat locks up. I’ve seen Owen angry, I’ve seen him arrogant, and I’ve seen him lethal in a courtroom. But I have never seen him cry like this. "I am so sorry for leaving you in that jail cell, Sydney," he whispers again, his voice cracking completely now as he stares down at my lips. "I know n

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 209

    The second Owen’s fingers touch the chrome handle of his sleek black sedan, I violently twist out of his reach. I yank myself away from his side, clutching the lapels of his oversized designer suit jacket against my chest like a shield. He freezes, his hand dropping from the door as he whips his he

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 208

    My stomach completely drops. The press. The paparazzi who were banned from the main service have already spotted the commotion from the outer gates. Long, heavy camera lenses are already poking through the iron bars, the rapid, machine-gun clicking of shutters filling the air as they capture every

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 128

    "Alright, everyone! That’s a wrap on Scene 42. Take thirty, and when we come back, we tackle the finale!" Jeffery’s voice booms across the studio, and for the first time today, I actually let out a breath that doesn't feel like it’s being squeezed out of my lungs. My shoulders drop about three inch

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 127

    Suddenly, the library is silent. I’m flushed against him, my hands resting on his shoulders for balance. He’s looking down at me, the tip of his nose brushing against mine. I can feel the warmth of his skin, the faint scent of expensive scotch and sandalwood fanning over my face. Our breaths are in

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 126

    The sound of rain against the library windows is the only thing keeping me company this Saturday morning. It’s that heavy downpour that makes you want to curl into a ball and forget that the rest of the world exists. Since I’m back at Owen’s estate for the weekend, I’ve decided to treat his librar

  • He Chose His Step Mother, I Chose His Uncle   Chapter 125

    I walk back into the main hub of the studio, to find Sydney standing near the monitors, looking smaller than usual against the backdrop of the massive lighting rigs. "I’m leaving," I say, stopping a few feet away. I'm not entirely sure why I felt the need to tell her that. Usually, I just disappea
