I HATE YOU, Stepbrother

A gentle warning sounded, "Hush... whispering your stepbrother's name is禁忌, you know." A sly grin played on his lips. "Siblings aren't supposed to get entangled, understand?" I clutched the sheets tightly, fighting the urge to moan. Excitement filled Amanda when she discovered she had a stepbrother, little did she know it was Gabriel, her former campus flame from five years ago. Their relationship ended abruptly, each carrying a hidden secret from that time. Back then, they were deeply in love, yet Gabriel concealed something crucial. Now, living under the same roof, they must confront their past and attempt to heal despite the challenges. Every time their eyes met, they experienced that electric spark, identical to their initial connection. Amanda believed she had fully moved on from their past, but running into Gabriel, now her stepbrother, reignited memories she desperately tried to bury. She constantly reminded herself that siblings shouldn't harbor romantic feelings, but the powerful attraction between them threatened to defy logic. Will Amanda and Gabriel adhere to the bond of siblinghood, suppressing their growing emotions, or will they succumb to their desires? As the secrets they've kept unravel, will they draw closer or push each other further apart? The outcome remains uncertain.
