Tyler turned around, and the second his eyes met Sebastian's, his whole body tensed up.
There was something about Sebastian that made it hard to breathe.
Just standing there, doing nothing, he radiated danger.
Sebastian's voice was low, razor-sharp. “Were you threatening her?”
Tyler swallowed hard, glancing from Sebastian to Stephanie.
Stephanie crossed her arms and added, “Yeah, were you threatening me?”
They sounded exactly the same.
It hit him, right then and there, how little he actually knew about Stephanie.
The room, already suffocating, felt like the air had been completely sucked out. ‘Who was this man?‘
Tyler clenched his fists to keep his hands from shaking. “I...”
Whatever excuse he had died on his tongue when Sebastian took a step forward, long legs closing the distance
in seconds.
Sebastian pulled Stephanie to his side, his hand resting protectively at her waist. “What did he say he was to
you?”
Stephanie shrugged. “He said he’s my brother.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe moment those words left her mouth, the temperature in the room dropped even further.
Despite the heating blasting at full force, Tyler felt an icy chill creep down his spine.
Why did this man’s whole vibe shift just from hearing the word ‘brother’?
Sebastian's eyes narrowed, his tone all too casual. “So... You really wanna be her brother?”
Tyler froze.
Technically, he was-or at least, he had been.
But now? Not anymore. Stephanie made that crystal clear.
The disownment papers were signed. She wasn’t part of the family now.
Whether she lived like a queen or ended up on the streets, that was her problem, not his.
Tyler let out a mocking laugh. “Trust me, no thanks. I'm good.”
With that, he stormed out, still fuming.
‘Fine. She wanted to cut ties?"
‘Great. Let's see how long she lasted without the family nto hide behind.’
Tyler stomped into the elevator, still furious, but by the tthe doors slid shut, he realized his back was
drenched in sweat.

Chapter 154
“That man was terrifying
That had to be the guy who took out Chris, right?‘
“The one Stephanie's been relying on this whole time.
Compared to him, even that Dr. Vitale guy and the one from the hospital hallway felt like nothing!
Who the hell was this guy? And what did Stephanie do to get someone like that in her corner?”
The more Tyler thought about it, the angrier he got.
The second he stepped out of the elevator, his phone started buzzing. He glanced at the screen and picked up.
“What?” “Tyler, are you marrying someone else?”
The shrill, panicked voice on the other end belonged to a woman.
Tyler's stomach clenched.
She knew.

Before he could say a word, she was already screaming again, “You lied to me! You swore you'd take care of us!
You promised our son wouldn't grow up as sdirty little secret!”
“Did you even tell your family about us?!”
Tyler stood there, speechless, while the accusations just kept coming.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTyler's head was pounding like a drum.
He did tell his family about them. But no one wanted her.
He rubbed his temples. “Are you home? I'll cover right now.”
“Good. You better have a damn good explanation.”
The call ended with a slam.
Tyler stood by his car, gripping his phone so hard his knuckles turned white.
Before he could even open the door, his mom called next. “Tyler, what are we gonna do?”
Catlin’s voice was trembling with fear and frustration.
