Simone hadn’t struggled nearly as much as she would have hoped earlier, but she didn’t hesitate to scream for help the moment she woke up in a desolate place. A quick look around told her she was alone, and that was both reassuring and worrisome at the same time.

Even though she was bound to a chair, she could barely grasp the fact that she had been abducted.

Why was she even a target?

She had always been a bit of a qu

  • The Love of a Stepbrother    Chapter 74

    It wasn’t long before Simone’s ring caught the attention of one of the employees, who had come bearing important documents from the finance department.His cold assessment of Simone didn’t go unnoticed, and the way his smile all but turned predatory before he spoke unsettled her in more ways than one.“That’s a beautiful ring you have there,” the forty year old man let out. “I would advise you against wearing it publicly, unless you want to be attacked, that is… Many people would kill for a fraction of that money.”“I bet,” Simone’s smile remained chilly as she regarded him levelly, as if daring him to try something.“Good thing she has bodyguards shadowing her everywhere she goes then,” Katie let out in a tone that dripped with both sarcasm and menace, as she glared daggers at the man.He immediately straightened up and rolled his eyes, before muttering something that went along the lines of, “Golddiggers sure have it easy.”“You would know best, Mr Kale,” Simone drawled, her eyes co

    Simone watched as Katie all but ran away from William’s office. And while the devil himself wasn’t on her tail, she could guess that he hadn’t been all that pleasant with her.Truth be told, she wasn’t too eager to hear what the new recruit had to say, but she feigned interest while the other woman emptied her sac, “I don’t understand what’s wrong with my coffee.”She hiccupped and soon sat down at the new desk next to Simone’s.Sniffling, she soon went on, “He said and I quote: “I only drink Simone’s.” even though I told him that I made it exactly like yours.”“It has nothing to do with your coffee,” Simone offered her a small smile that was meant to reassure her.“What?” Katie looked and sounded dumbfounded to say the least.“How do I explain this to you?” She heaved a sigh as she seriously contemplated telling her their history with spiked drinks.“Please do,” she nodded eagerly at her, her eyes glassy but shining with renewed hope nonetheless.“You know that William and I are toge

  • The Love of a Stepbrother    Chapter 72

    Simone couldn’t believe her eyes when William dropped to one knee, began to say all those tear-inducing words, and proposed. When she was done hugging him, he scooped her up in his arms, and she giggled shyly in response.Oh heavens, how she loved him!She sometimes believed she didn’t deserve him. Hell, she was convinced he was what dreams were made of, and not just wet dreams.She knew the effect he had on her should be ill*gal, but the knowledge didn’t help her evade his feverish touches. On the contrary, she was as eager for completion as he was, the time spent away doing her more harm than good.Simone couldn’t help but breathe out his name against his lips, “Will,” he was still carrying her, almost effortlessly, making a beeline to the cottage where she was staying. “I still can't believe this… you being okay with this, this pregnancy is such a s

  • The Love of a Stepbrother    Chapter 71

    William and Simone went to the nearby grill, and he was no closer now than he had been 1 hour ago, when he finally reached the cottage, to knowing what was wrong. Indeed, he had no clue why Simone wanted some time away. Had he messed up somewhere down the line?If he had, she sure was acting as if everything was cool between them, and that only fueled his confusion some more.He tried to keep a calm, even voice when he asked, “Are you going to tell me what’s wrong?”“Nothing really,” she attempted to brush it off, her eyes not meeting his, her hand rising to rearrange a lock of her hair.“If nothing sends you running for the hills, then I am not sure who you are,” he drawled, only half jokingly.Her gaze focused on him at long last, and he could see confusion swimming in the depths of her green eyes.“Well, I am Simone Presco

    Before all else, Simone went to the cemetery. She knelt in front of her mother’s grave, wept as she told her everything, and asked for her guidance.“Hello, mom. It’s been a while, huh? I told you before that Will and I are now a thing, right? Well, I have reason to believe that I might be pregnant, though I truly hope it’s all in my head. I wonder how you would have felt had you been here in these times. Would you have approved of us or on the contrary given us the stink eye and the cold shoulder?” She paused after for a moment, sniffling and doing her best to wipe away the tears that refused to stop.“Heavens, how I wish you were here! But you’re not, and cemetery visits kill me each time, but I had to see you. I had to tell you.” She inhaled deeply, trying to steel herself, so she would leave. “I love you mom. And I hope that wherever you might be, I’m making you proud.”

  • The Love of a Stepbrother    Chapter 69

    Simone hadn’t hesitated to seek out Colette, under the pretense of making-up for their previous lost time when they went to the spa.Her security detail remained at another table, their presence looming, almost threatening, and Simone felt like she could barely breathe properly.Out of nervousness, she had arrived twenty minutes early, and thus she waited. Doing so, she texted her best friend.Don’t freak out. Buy 3 pregnancy tests sweetie.Simone looked at the text, and though she didn’t fear judgment as much as before, she still hesitated for a moment there before hitting send.Colette’s response was a devil emoji, and Simone felt herself lighten up immediately. She sipped on her lemon juice, which served to suppress the nausea bubbling up inside her, and simply waited.Before long, Colette was approaching the table where Simone was, with slow cal

    By 5 pm, the contract had been signed, and a copy was sent to William’s email.Although Simone trusted William to the moon and back, she still had her doubts. Indeed the short meeting with the Pateras didn’t feel like any kind of negotiations, rather like some hostile take-over

  • The Love of a Stepbrother    Chapter 57

    William could barely believe how lucky he had been. He knew that if that damned Patera trust fund baby had gotten to his room, it would have been a pure disaster for him. Thankfully, the receptionist had been quick-witted enough to send her away without offending her.And to further add to

    Upon entering William’s suite, Simone could see at once that he appeared to be sleeping soundly — too soundly. Knowing that he was a light sleeper made it even more worrisome.“Mr Stone is burning up,” Rafael declared at the sight of her. “I have

    William was a businessman through and through, and he could see that his partner’s daughter in Colorado was going to be a pain in the damned as*s.She was at the meeting as the head of their marketing department.Her input was always concise and to
