JADEN

The problem with secrets? They never stay secrets. Not when Knox digs. Not when Steel broods and definitely not when Jasson and I decide we’re tired of being kept in the dark so we decided to investigate ourselves and found that the man who has always disliked mom is her birth father; karma also has a comic side to her.

So, yeah. By the time I walked into Sheriff Valour’s office, I already knew. He was my grandfather. Not in the storybook way. Not in the “let me bake you cookies, grandson

  • STEEL'S CURVY SIN & SECRETS   CHAPTER 44: DRAMA

    STEELI came out first. Buttoned suit jacket, chin up, like I hadn’t just been wrestling with the urge to break every rule the damn doctor had put me on. My pulse was still in my ears, though, and my knuckles were white from how hard I’d clenched them.The hallway was too bright, too loud with footsteps and chatter, like the event hadn’t noticed I was about two seconds away from snapping necks for sport and there he was-asshole of the year-Tyler Jerkins. Old flame. Billionaire singer. A man who had probably written three albums about Sin and still somehow had fans screaming his name in Madrid. His eyes cut to me instantly, narrowing, like he already knew.“Steel,” he said, voice smooth enough to sell perfume. “Didn’t know you were here.”I smirked. “I have a habit of showing up where I’m least wanted.”His gaze flicked past me. That’s when Sin stepped out.She looked composed. Perfect hair, perfect walk, like she had just stepped off the cover of Vogue. But I knew her too well. Her fi

  • STEEL'S CURVY SIN & SECRETS   CHAPTER 43: FUND RAISER 2

    SINI leaned against the cold porcelain sink, palms braced, head bowed. The ladies’ room was empty, but my chest heaved like I’d just run a marathon.God.Moments such as these were to be rehearsed, held at arms' length—Boyce's world, not mine. Smile, nod, trophy wife. Cease the rumor, cease the stares. But Steel's entry obliterated all of the poise that I was attempting to uphold. Him and Tyler in the same house? It was like dropping a match in volatile liquid and hoping for nothing to catch.I viewed my own face, reflected back in the mirror, makeup still in place, hair brushed for the last time, but eyes—eyes betrayed me. Red. Too red, too hot, too hungry, too angry.The door creaked. I did not budge. I already knew.I felt him first, smoke and leather, that flicker of danger. Then the noise—a cigarette on the floor, ground by his boot."Steel," I breathed, not even bothering to turn my head."Sin." Low, rough, jagged with all of the things left unsaid.I tilted my head, my eyes co

  • STEEL'S CURVY SIN & SECRETS   CHAPTER 42: FUND RAISER 1

    STEELThe thing about charity events is they’re always dressed up as glamorous, generous, world-saving things. Champagne, string quartets, overpriced art up for auction but strip the velvet curtains and designer gowns away and it’s just a room full of wolves showing off who’s got the biggest wallet.I don’t play well with wolves I didn’t pick.But yeah—I was invited. Which is why I brought Klaus with me. He had the look on his face like he was about to break someone’s neck if they breathed wrong, and honestly, that was exactly the energy I wanted to walk in with.“Sin’s here?” Klaus muttered, scanning the crowd like he had a personal hit list.“Yeah, she's with Catalina.” I said. My voice was steady but my chest wasn’t. I’d known she’d come because Boyce would drag her. He liked playing the perfect husband, parading her around like his prize. Tonight, I wasn’t letting that stand.We walked in like we owned the damn building. Heads turned. I saw the twins first—Jasson and Jaden—tall, s

  • STEEL'S CURVY SIN & SECRETS   CHAPTER 41: GALA

    CATALINASpain. Sunshine, overpriced cocktails, and way too many men in tailored suits who thought their smiles were currency.I wasn’t supposed to be here, technically. Boyce made that clear with the way his jaw clenched when I rolled my suitcase into the lobby earlier. He looked at me like I’d announced I was joining Sin on stage in lingerie instead of just tagging along for a charity event. But whatever — I needed a break from Knox’s “sorry, angel, I can’t make it tonight” speeches, and Sin needed backup.Which brought us here, standing at the gala entrance, flashing smiles for cameras while Boyce simmered behind us like a teakettle on low boil.“You see him?” I murmured to Sin, nodding discreetly toward her husband.She gave a sideways glance, expression tight but amused. “He’s glaring like someone stole his dessert.”I grinned. “No, more like someone licked it and put it back but too bad I'm not going anywhere today, Steel’s ruined my sex life with the schedule so you my dear, ar

  • STEEL'S CURVY SIN & SECRETS   CHAPTER 40: PHONE SEX

    KNOXThe phone buzzed on the edge of my desk. Catalina’s name lit up the screen, and for a second, I thought about ignoring it. Not because I didn’t want to hear her voice — hell, that was the only thing that kept me sane — but because I already knew how the conversation was gonna go and I was out of excuses and cover ups for her.I thumbed it open anyway. “Hey, angel.”Her sigh came through the line, sharp, irritated. “Don’t ‘hey, angel’ me. Are you coming home tonight or not?”I rubbed a hand over my face, leaning back in my chair. Files and half-empty coffee cups stared at me like reminders of my screwed priorities. “I can’t. Things are—”“Complicated,” she cut in. “Again. Always. You're slowly ruining intimacy in our marriage because we are never together anymore.”“Yeah.” My voice dropped, guilt creeping in. “I’m sorry, Cat. I swear I wanted to be there.”“You said that last week.”“I know.”“And the week before.”“I know.” I pinched the bridge of my nose. “I hate this as much as

No—more like the “surprise, I screwed up thirty eight years ago, and here you are” way.He looked up from his paperwork, frown already in place, like my existence was an interruption he didn’t sign off on.“Jaden,” he said, voice even. “What brings you here?”I shut the door behind me, leaned against it, crossed my arms. “Cut the act. You and I both know why I’m here.”One eyebrow ticked up. “Do we?”“Yeah. We do.” I tilted my head, studying him. “You’re my grandfather. Congratulations, o
