To pay for her mother and sister's medical bills, Daphne Laurel was forced to accept an offer to become the pretend wife of a sickly old tycoon in her care. She also suddenly had to perform the role of the stepmother to a hot young man who had a million charms, who unfortunately hated her very much. Hector Andino vows to do everything in his power he can to prove that his father's young wife is nothing but a gold-digger slut and that she must get rid of his family for forever. But the more he tries, the more he becomes entangled in a forbidden enchantment until there is no other woman he wants but the one woman he must never touch, his stepmother.
Hector Andino was moving his body over a woman's body that night.
He was still growling as he chased his release when a sudden memory broke his concentration.
And penetration.
"Fvck! I forgot to lock the door! Don't let that damn woman do it again!" Hector cursed as he sped up his movements until the woman below him moaned even louder.
This wasn't the first time Hector had brought a woman to his house and had sex in his room.
And there had also been several times when that damn woman, his father's young wife, had broken down his bedroom door and kicked the woman out before he could reach his satisfaction.
"Shit! Come on, hurry up, I'm almost there!"
"Ahh, Hector..." the moans of the woman below him grew louder.
But it was too late! Before Hector could finish his activity, the door of his room had already been violently kicked in again.
Crack!
And the young woman with all her arrogance entered there.
"Didn't I tell you that this house is not a place for immorality? Stop right now!" she snarled with a fiery glare.
Daphne Laurel could never help herself when Hector started throwing tantrums by bringing women into this house.
For Sex.
For his Satisfaction.
Especially since he was her stepson.
Not a real stepson because Daphne was only pretending to be married to Hector's father.
But of course, no one knew about the agreement, so everyone thought that Daphne was really married and became the legal wife of Victor Andino, the biological father of Hector Andino.
Damn! If Daphne's life had been a little better, she wouldn't have wanted to do all this either.
Daphne was forced to do this because her income as a nurse taking care of Victor Andino was still not enough to fulfill all her living expenses, as well as the medical expenses of her mother and sister.
But instead of living a better life after becoming a wife, Daphne's life vows became even more chaotic.
Victor asked Daphne to hide the man's worsening illness and pretend that he had recovered so that no one would take advantage of his illness to seize his company.
Victor told Daphne to take care of his house filled with bad people, and the most frustrating thing was that Daphne had to play the role of stepmother to the father's child.
How could it not be frustrating? Instead of a manageable child, Daphne was shocked when she first met Hector, who was far from a "child."
Hector was a grown man who was five years older than Daphne.
Hector was tall, well-built and handsome, with muscles all over his body, and if she had to describe him in one word, Daphne would choose "hot".
And that was not just an assumption because Daphne had indeed caught Hector several times while he was doing his hot activities, and the whole body of Hector on display was very hot indeed.
It was just that unfortunately, Daphne was not lusting over Hector at all and was instead disgusted at what the man and the women were doing.
"Shit! You're doing it again, damn woman! What exactly is your problem? Are you addicted to looking at my body, huh? You always interrupt me before I reach my satisfaction!" Hector screeched in annoyance as he immediately disentangled himself from the woman below him.
The woman immediately moved away while covering her naked body with a blanket.
"As a young lady you should be ashamed of doing this, you bitch!" Hector exclaimed again as he grabbed his pants and pulled them on unashamedly in front of Daphne.
Of course, Daphne could see how Hector's sensitive area was still standing erect.
But as usual, Daphne only wore a furious expression as her gaze remained fixed on Hector's face.
"I don't care what you think of me! I've told you time and time again not to do that in my house!" Daphne snapped no less fiercely.
"Oh, now you're getting a little ahead of yourself! Do you consider this your house? Ah, I forgot that you married my father because of this! Now your house is your treasure! You want to control everything, right? I wouldn't even be surprised if soon you'd poison my father so that he'd die quickly and you could inherit everything!"
"Shut your mouth, Hector! I'm not that kind of woman!"
"No need to pretending anymore, damn woman! I already know what kind of woman you are!"
Hector and Daphne stood facing each other closely, with their gazes equally sharp.
"Well, whatever you want to think of me you can! I won't bother explaining anything because you won't believe a word I say either!"
"Of course, I won't! Just wait until I unmask your true colors, bitch!"
Daphne laughed sarcastically at that. "Do whatever you want, Hector! But for now, I want that woman out of my house!"
Daphne quickly approached the woman who had just finished putting on her clothes.
"Good thing you moved fast before I threw you out on the street naked!"
Daphne pulled roughly on the woman's arm until the woman whimpered in pain. "Ow, Hector... help me! Akhhh!"
But Daphne didn't care about the woman's scream at all and pulled her all the way to Hector's bedroom door and pushed her out.
Hector, who was already angry, retaliated by roughly pulling Daphne's arm while closing the door to his room.
"Damn you, Daphne! I'm warning you, one more time you interfere in my business, don't blame me for getting rough with you!" Hector threatened with fire in his eyes.
But Daphne was not at all afraid of Hector's threats.
The old Daphne might have been weak and helpless.
But the Daphne who had experienced so many things to survive was not the old Daphne anymore.
The current Daphne was not afraid of anything, including Hector's threats.
Daphne looked at Hector with the same fire in her gaze as she lifted her chin haughtily.
"Just so you know that I'm not afraid of your threats at all, Hector! I will always harass and meddle in your affairs because you are my stepson! And one more thing! Be polite to me and call me Mom!"
Hector laughed sarcastically at that. "Call you Mom? Be polite to you? Huh, well, this is how I'm going to be polite to a woman like you!"
Without another word, Hector immediately grabbed Daphne and threw her body onto the bed.
Hector quickly locked Daphne's body underneath him by holding both of her hands next to her head.
"What are you doing, Hector? Let me go!" Daphne screamed in a sudden panic.
"Why are you screaming, Daphne? Didn't you say you weren't afraid of me, huh? You should know, Daphne, I'm in need of a release tonight and since you kicked my woman out, then replace her in my bed!"
