It has been just a year since my father passed away and my mother has already remarried? How could she be so ready to just move on and start over so soon? Before I could even wrap my mind around her bombshell, another surprise walked through the door, Dave- The nerdy boy in my class who had rescued me from being raped and had fucked the hell out of me on our prom night just weeks earlier, was none other than the handsome son of my mother's new husband who will now be my stepbrother, and the spark between us became a forbidden flame. Passions and betrayals threatened to burn down the fragile ties binding my new family and I realized no one could be trusted. Not my callous mother, not my devilish husband, not my hot and sweet stepbrother, perhaps not even myself. But my troubles are only beginning, as my dangerous attraction to my new stepbrother led to a new heart beating in my tummy. With everything on the line, I had no choice but to try protecting the people I love and reclaim the future stolen from me. After all, I was Carmen Cartier. And I don't back down from a fight.

CARMENI stopped in my tracks, turning back to my mother and staring at her in utter disbelief. She stared back at me with pride, as if she had not just told me the worst thing that I could hear from her.“What do you still have the video for? You told me that you deleted it,” I pointed out, my tone holding accusation.“Well, I may have misspoke. Also, I had a suspicion that it could still come in handy sometime soon. I know how much you barely keep to your business, Carmen. This would have happened sooner or later, and it grieves me that it came sooner than I prepared for.”“So it’s true?” I scoffed. “You have been poisoning Steve?”“You wouldn’t understand,” she said and shook her head. “You’re barely twenty. I’m doing everything I can for you, I swear. I fear that the only time you’re going to realize this is when you have succeeded in putting us in trouble, or when I’m dead—”“Stop trying to manipulate me!” I yelled at her, walking back towards her.“Why are you doing this? Do you

CARMEN“It’s not what you think at all,” I tried to defend myself to Frank, but he was not having it. “I just wanted to see if she could answer me. You should communicate with her normally, you know if you want her to get better.”“I don’t think you understand what’s going on here,” Frank said to me, his eyes narrowing as he shot me an angry look. “And I hate to be the one to break it to you, Carmen, but there is no getting better from here. Do you think her doctors haven’t tried? Or do you have a complex that makes you believe she’s only going to respond to you?”There was silence as he waited for an answer and I couldn’t give him one because I was not ready to reveal the truth to him just yet.“Do not try whatever it was that you just did here today. I’m not against speaking to her, but do not plant doubts in her head when she cannot even react to them,” he warned and finally walked away just as Terri was returning from her meeting with Emily.“Is there a problem?” She had a look of

CARMENKate stared at me like a deer caught in the brightness of headlights, but she was quick and smart to smooth it out with a bright smile.“Carmen! What a pleasant surprise. What are you doing here?” She hugged me as tight as possible, only pulling away when I made the first move to get out of her arms.“I came here to get something tested. You know, regular checkups and all of that.” I waved off with feigned nonchalance. “And you? You used to be scared of hospitals, remember? What are you doing here all of a sudden?”“I used to be scared of hospitals when I was still a child. Now, I’ve come to terms with the fact that I have to come here once in a while. I came to get some test results for my parents while they’re away.” I could see her trying to smoothen the skirt of her dress, which was not even ruffled, but I didn’t want to point out how nervous she was. In fact, I was eager to leave.“I’ll see you around, yeah? With the whole honeymoon coming and everything else,” I reminded

CARMEN“What?” My mom and I exclaimed at the same time after Dave’s announcement, bringing the attention of the people who had excused us.“Is everything okay?” Jasper asked, raising an eyebrow of concern at us.“We’re fine, thank you!” Mom replied before she went back to looking at Dave. “What do you mean by that? A life insurance? He didn’t tell me anything about that. Where did you get that information from?”“I am his son and his business partner. He feels obligated to tell me everything. He said he took one out recently because he’s afraid that whatever this illness is, it could kill him,” Dave explained.“No.” Mom shook her head, using her hands to cover her face as she chanted the single word of denial. “No, no, no, no. He can’t die. How could he say that? He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”“I didn’t want to believe it at first, but it’s Steve Wilmer we’re talking about here,” Dave said. “He barely goes to see a doctor whenever he’s sick, and he practically has to be for

CARMEN“You can’t eat the soup,” I said to Steve.“I don’t understand,” Mom commented in confusion, dropping the soup spoon in the bowl as she looked at me for an explanation. “What’s gotten into everybody?”I looked around at everyone sitting at the table, and they were looking at me with the same confusion that my mother had on her face.“Are you going to explain?” Steve demanded, now looking annoyed. I understood perfectly why he seemed completely done with everyone and their behaviours without giving an explanation.I couldn’t open my mouth and blurt out that he was possibly being poisoned by my mother. I had no idea how he would take it, or how anybody else would. I decided in my head that I had to confront my mother about it before anything, but Steve couldn’t eat that soup.I grabbed the bowl of soup from him with a tight-lipped smile as I said, “It wasn’t made properly. When my mom left me in the kitchen with it, I thought it needed a little bit of sugar, and I added some suga

CARMEN“Poisonous,” I echoed to myself as I clutched the bottle in my hand, slipping it into my purse before my mother would walk back in and realize that I had just found her out.Was she seriously using something like that for Steve Wilmer? It didn’t make sense at all, but I knew I couldn’t confront her about it outright. She was smart, and she would have something to say in her defence.“You’re not stirring it, Carmen!” Mom scolded as she walked and caught me in the middle of my thoughts, taking the wooden spoon and stirring the soup.“Why don’t you just get one of the staff to make the soup? Isn’t this stressful for you?” I questioned, trying to deduce what I could from her answers.“Steve likes my soup. He has learned to prefer it over everyone else’s, and I have to prioritize his health. Did you know that his symptoms are back? Just yesterday on the business trip we took, he kept breaking out into a cold sweat, and his hands were trembling.” Her face fell when she turned around

CARMEN“Emily is my daughter.”I blinked three times at Terri, my surprise lying in my eyes as I watched her eyes grow distant – she was reminiscing. There was something painful swirling on her face as well, and I knew that there was definitely something horrible covering the situation.“I’d like to let bygones be bygones, Carmen,” she stated with a tired sigh, putting a needle in my hope and deflating it.“I really didn’t know. It’s just… You used to work for Mariah when he met her?” I inquired, but she still remained silent, as if the last thing she was going to do was speak on it, but I was as curious as she was stubborn. There had to be something she could tell me.“Listen, Terri. I know this might be an old wound for you, and the last thing I would want to do is open it so carelessly, but I would really like to prevent another bad thing from happening based on past events. I just want to know if Jasper told me the entire truth about the situation.”“He would be brave to tell you

CARMENI crawled away from Jasper, getting up on my feet as I watched him sway from side to side and looking ready to collapse at any minute.The shock of what had just happened reverberated within me as I stared at my husband in disbelief.“Jasper?” I called. “What happened to you? How did you get this drunk?”“Drunk?” he echoed in a lazy slur, staggering forward as I moved back to avoid his sudden aggressiveness. “You’re calling me drunk? How dare you call me drunk?!”“Just go up to the room and have a shower. I can take you if you want,” I offered, but I didn’t dare walk up to him just yet. Not after he had just pushed me so hard without the slightest remorse. I bore it in mind that he was not in a good place, not in control of himself.“You don’t tell me what to do,” he spat bitterly as he headed for the stairs, loosening his tie and struggling to go up the stairs, crawling on his hands and feet to get to the top of the stairs.I followed behind him until he managed to get into th

CARMENDave and I pulled away from each other in panic as we looked at the person who had walked in and caught us in the act – Nova.“Oh, my God,” she said again, her voice airy as she stepped back and looked at us in disbelief. “I knew it! I had my suspicions, but my sister kept shutting me out and claiming that she trusted you! How could you do this…”“Nova, this doesn’t have to get out of hand like this,” Dave told her, getting off the bed and putting on his clothes. I did the same, keeping my eye on her and hoping that she would not run out of there to announce it to everyone she saw on the way.“What does that even mean? Do you expect me to keep quiet about this?” Her eyes met with mine, and they blazed with rage. “She still believes you’re a good friend of hers, Carmen! How could you do this? He’s your stepbrother, for Christ’s sake!”“I’m sorry,” was the only thing I could mutter, pitiful and filled with nothing but shame.“Just wait until everybody finds out. How are you going
