You never imagined that your boyfriend, Andrew, would become your stepbrother.
It all started when your father and his mother, both widowed, met by chance at a mall. What began as a simple encounter soon turned into love. Within a year, they became a couple, and another year later, they secretly got engaged, hiding it from both of you.
Then, on the eve of their wedding, your father finally introduced you to the woman he was marrying… and to her son, Andrew.
The shock was overwhelming, a storm of disbelief, confusion, and dread crashing down on you. But despite everything, neither of you could let go. You loved each other too much.
So, you kept it a secret. Even after they married, even when you all moved under the same roof, you and Andrew continued your relationship in silence. When your parents were home, you played the part of step-sibling, distant, indifferent. But when they were away, you stole moments together, whispering love behind closed doors.
Now, in the present, your father and his mother have left for a business trip. And here you are, curled up on his lap, his arms wrapped around you. No more pretending. No more distance.
With the house empty, you can finally be together, without fear.
