last update publish date: 2026-05-11 14:41:46

JUNE;

We stayed that way, lips locked, breathing each other in. The kiss grew deeper, hungrier. Soft gasps slipped from my mouth into his. Ronan groaned low against my lips, the sound vibrating through my chest and making my toes curl right there on the floor.

His hands stayed gentle but firm on my face, pulling me in, and brushing my cheeks like he was afraid I might disappear.

“Ronan…” I gasped when we finally broke for air.

He pulled back slowly, just enough for our eyes to meet. Both of hi

    JUNE;I turned to look. Selene stood in the doorway, her hands tightly crossed over her chest, her mouth pouting in irritation. The hallway lights cast sharp shadows on her face, making her look even more annoyed than usual.I scoffed, not wanting to create a scene right there in the hospital. I moved to step past her, but she shifted sideways and blocked the doorway completely, her shoulder bumping lightly against the frame. “I am not done talking to you, slum girl,” she snapped, her voice low but sharp enough to cut.Anger rumbled low in my belly, hot and heavy. I was tired and fed up with her insults. I wouldn’t have her humiliating me here, in this hospital too, after everything that had already happened today.“Look around you, Selene,” I found my voice, taking one firm step forward so I stood right in her face. My shoes squeaked softly on the tiled floor. “This is not your father’s palace, nor Westbridge Uni where you have your cohorts hanging around you. You will watch your nex

  • MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN   CHAPTER 094: CHOSE TO REMEMBER

    JUNE;I sat in the armchair available in the emergency room, the machines beeping steadily around us. Shortly after we arrived at the hospital, Mr. Grayson had gotten a call that required his attention and had hurried off, promising to return back soon. Mom had walked out to the pharmacy too, leaving me alone with the quiet hum of the monitors, and Ronan who had not opened his eyes since we got here. My head rested on my hand, propped up against the wall. I had barely gotten any sleep last night, and this morning we had rushed back here. My eyes felt weak and heavy, begging for rest. I was dozing off while trying to stay awake, my head nearly hitting the side of the bed when his voice reached me.“You should take a nap,” I snapped awake. It was Ronan. He was wide awake, watching me with those familiar eyes. “Not comfortable, but it would help.”My words hitched in my throat, refusing to fully form. The sleep disappeared from my eyes in an instant. Then he groaned, placing his hand t

  • MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN   CHAPTER 093: THE PLEA

    JUNE; I sat quietly on the metal bench in the hallway, my elbows resting on my knees while both palms supported my chin. Every few seconds, another machine beeped from one of the rooms, reminding me that somewhere behind those doors, people were fighting battles no one else could see, my own battle sat heavily inside my chest. Mr. Grayson's words refused to leave my head. They replayed over and over again until I felt as though he was still standing in front of me on that balcony. "I'm not asking you to pretend, June. I'm asking you not to feel anything." How could anyone ask another person to do something like that? Feelings weren't clothes that could simply be taken off and folded away. And to top it all up, he had wanted to get me out of the mansion. Somehow, I made it easier for him. But somewhere within the past few minutes, he stood there at the balcony, pleading that I move back into the mansion, like I was a stone to be rolled in and out of a particular spot. I l

    JUNE;“I… I am,” the answer stumbled out. The insides of my palm had grown damp, I rubbed it against the rough denim fabric of my shorts, the ones I had pulled on hurriedly after Mom’s call. “I am June.”“I see,” the older doctor nodded, pushing his glasses up a little. “It would definitely be hard not to recognize such a pretty face even in the worst case of TGA.” The doctor's lips parted softly, I saw what he did there. Our faces looked like the word tension itself, like the world was coming to an end, that man had made a mental note to soften the air just a little. But Mr. Grayson, my stepfather, wasn't having it. He shoved forward fast.“What are you playing at, Dr. Sterling? What's the bloody TGA you're talking about?” He grunted. “That's my son lying in there. And you're…. cracking jokes?” His voice was bouncing off the roof, my face fell to the floor. Doctor Sterling straightened up. “Calm down, Victor. I have been your family doctor for years now, you should…”“Exactly why

  • MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN   CHAPTER 091: WHO IS JUNE?

    JUNE; The hospital hallway felt colder than it should have. Maybe not just from the cold air conditioners humming at the ends of the hallway; I could tell the chill sinking into my skin didn't come from the hallway's temperature. It came from somewhere much deeper. Somewhere beneath my ribs, where guilt had wrapped itself around my heart and refused to let go. I should have given him a listening ear. Ronan was lying on that bed, unconscious, and it's because of me, because I was always running away instead of fixing things. I stood beside the glass door of Ronan's room, my fingers curled around my elbows so tightly that my nails pressed into my skin. Through the narrow glass partition, I could see him, his clipped finger moving at intervals, the only assurance that he was still breathing. White sheets covered him up to his chest, a bandage was wrapped heavily around his forehead, disappearing beneath his dark hair like it was hiding a deadly secret. His face looked unusuall

  • MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN   CHAPTER 090: A WILD GUESS

    JUNE;I lay there on my bed, turning and tossing around, the sheets tangling around my legs like they were trying to hold me down. Everything kept replaying in my mind no matter how hard I squeezed my eyes shut. I couldn’t believe Ronan was still seeing that woman. That same woman who had looked at me with such open disdain in the parking lot. She had even sent him a nude picture. The image flashed behind my eyelids again… her bare breasts, the thin white thong disappearing between her legs in a way that made my stomach twist. I shut my eyes tighter, my fists curling into the pillow until my knuckles hurt. I hated admitting it, but that woman was hot. Too hot for her age. Confident in a way that made me feel small. On one side there was Selene…. pretty, sophisticated, rich, always knowing exactly how to cling to Ronan’s arm. On the other side was this experienced fifty-year-old with a banging body and a look that said she could ruin me just for standing too close to him. And right

    JUNE;I couldn’t help the soft giggle that escaped me. Mary sat across from me, peering intently into my eyes, clearly trying to figure out who I was talking to.I switched the phone to my other hand, my fingers still a little shaky from everything that had happened this morning. His voice had brou

    JUNE;The cab pulled up right before the coffee shop. Adults walked in and out of it, my throat gulped. The watch on my wrist showed a few minutes before five in the evening. The air was getting even colder, as if we should expect autumn rain soon. A doorman held the door while I went through, ret

    JUNE;“June,” Mariah shook me. “Are you alright?” She queried.Alright? Did she just ask that? Mom would always say I should be honest. But I was sure that doesn't apply to situations like this one staring me hard in the face. Being honest meant admitting to Mariah that my body was wanting someone

    JUNE:I tossed gently on the big bed, clutching the pillow tight against my chest. My eyes kept drifting toward the ceiling, tracing the fancy patterns in the paint. It was still too early in the morning, but sleep had already left me. A cool breeze slipped through the slightly open curtains, brus
