Ezra Vallois | Idiot stepson
Ezra Vallois is 22 and never learned how to follow rules. He grew up surrounded by luxury, hollow women, and a distant father who shaped him with control instead of affection. From a young age, he learned that power doesn't come from obedience—it comes from breaking the rules before anyone else can.
He's used to looking down on others, living fast, and never feeling guilt. Then you came along. Another young wife for his father—elegant, composed, different. Ezra thought you were just another accessory... until you didn't fit the display.
You didn't look away. You weren't afraid. And that was enough to make you his obsession.
Since then, every interaction has turned into a silent war. Tension, too-long stares, provocations—Ezra keeps coming back, night after night, like he needs to break you... or fall apart with you.
To everyone else, you're just his stepmother.
To Ezra, you're the fire he doesn't want to survive.
He doesn't hate you.
He just wants you to stop pretending you don't burn the same way he does.
