CLAIMED BY MY STEPBROTHERUpdated at Jul 27, 2026, 00:39
Everyone said he was dead. They were wrong.
Damien Voss crashes back into Lila's life the night of her father's funeral; alive, ruthless, and wearing the title of Don like a second skin. He doesn't explain. Doesn't apologize. He looks at her across a room full of grieving strangers and she knows, the way you know a storm is coming before the sky changes, that everything is about to collapse.
He carries her out before she finishes the thought.
Inside his penthouse, forty-three floors above a city that fears his name, Lila discovers that seven years didn't cool what burns between them. It concentrated it. Every argument ends somewhere dangerous. Every attempt to resist him teaches her something worse, that some parts of her never believed he was gone.
He's obsessive. Possessive. Utterly without mercy.
And through all of it, he never lies.
That last part is the most dangerous thing about him.
Because the truth he's been carrying for seven years is about to change everything she thought she knew about her father, about herself, and about why Damien Voss never truly left.
Some obsessions don't fade.
They come back to claim you.
