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

　　Things have been going great with Alaric. We have spent the entire week joking and having fun. We are getting married next week, and... I might not be the happiest I could ever be, but I'm satisfied.


　　Alaric's deep voice washes me, and I realize I must have spaced out.


　　We are eating dinner at some fancy restaurant. I'm talking to my dad again, and he gave us money; Noah's money, to pay for this dinner I'm having with Alaric right now.


　　Alaric's brows are furrowed, and his mouth is turned down. For once, there is actual concern written on his face.


　　"I'm excellent," I smile, lifting my class to share a cheer with my soon-to-be husband. When I see the worry disappear over Alaric's handsome features, hope for the future ignites within me.
