There are many people out there, but in the end, it all comes down to only one person you can't live without. Love is passion, and obsession. And when you love someone, you shouldn't care what other people think, right? But what if the person I've fallen in love with is my stepbrother?

Life brought us together, but people are trying to tear us apart—what am I supposed to do?
I want him.

I can't live without him.

Yet I can't be with him. It would ruin his reputation and career, and other people's opinions would mess with our heads.

I should stay away, but time stopped when I met him.

CEO Stepbrother’s Surprise Baby

　　I open the door late afternoon. Someone banged hard on it, and outside, I find Noah peering down at me. At first, I smile, but my happiness fades to grey when I see the waging war inside his eyes.


　　"Why did you lie to me, Natalie?" Noah asks. He sounds hurt and confused enough to make unease fill my chest.


　　I take a step back from the door. Noah is tall and intimidating. Usually, I wouldn't fear him, but we aren't together, and his expression is shrouded in inner rage.


　　I should keep my distance. "W-what are you talking about?"


　　"The paternity test came back negative." Noah glares at me. There are tears in the corner of his eyes. "Emma is not my daughter."


　　I stare right back at him. "Are you joking?"


　　For the first time in my life, Noah appears pissed off. I've never seen him lose his temper, but he clenches his fists now and takes a deep breath as if holding himself back.
