I was walking to my locker, a few minutes later when they rang the bell for break, I was humming to 'Devil doesn't bargain' by Alec Benjamin, the song is everything, and listening with my black AirPods made it cooler to vibe with when I suddenly bumped into someone.“Hey!” I stepped back immediately and raised my gaze to see who it was, then I realized it was Ryan standing in front of me.The idiot purposely came my way.He gave me a wide grin, and I rolled my eyes at him and removed the AirPods from my ear and put them inside the pocket of my blazer before I noticed what was in his hand.It was a pack of marshmallows…“How are you doing?” He asked and threw a pink marshmallow into his mouth and my gaze followed the way he ate the soft delicacies, I swallowed hard and blinked my eyes severally at him.“Fine,” I muttered dryly, instantly craving for some marshmallow too, and lowered my gaze to his hands again.“You want?” He asked tauntingly, offering me the packed marshmallow, and I n

"Hello dad," I chirped immediately after I picked up my dad's call."Hey Princess, how have you been?" Dad's deep voice sounded through the phone.I was in the kitchen about to make dinner for myself, I placed my phone between my ear and shoulder blade, so, I could able to break the egg into the pink bowl on the counter."I'm fine Dad, what about you?" I questioned putting the egg shell into each other and placing them on the counter."Good, are you busy?" He asked as I walked to the cupboard, now holding my phone in my right hand."Uhm! Not really, just preparing what I'm going to eat tonight," I told him."That's good,""We can still talk, it's not disturbing our conversation," I said, opening the cupboard to take a spoon to mix the egg."Okay, I have some news for you," My dad informed me and I turned around backed to the counter, and placed my left arm on my stomach."Yes?" I said eagerly, hoping it was a piece of good news."I applied for a job, at a big company in Bradford, I'm g

HAILEY'S POV"So...what's up?" Ryan asked, glancing around the room."What do you want to say?" I tilted my head in confusion and asked."You know what I mean," he said with a hint of annoyance."Jeez, just say it already." I took a large bite as I waited for what he was about to say."Do you think your mom still loves your dad?" Ryan asked, I swallowed hard and cast a longing glance at him."I don't want to talk about it," The dreadful silence settled in and the only thing that was audible in the whole room was the constant clattering of my cutleries on the plate. After a few minutes of awkward silence, Ryan inhaled sharply."Hey Hailey," Ryan said and I slowly looked at him, while chewing calmly."Yeah?" I replied almost immediately."How are you holding up about what your boyfriend did?" I wondered why he was asking me."Uhm..." I tried to form words but nothing was coming to mind."Breakups can be pretty rough," Ryan added. I got up from where I sat to eat my food and I stifled a
Tamed By My Stepbrother PROLOGUE.
Autumn, two years ago.Ryan and I kissed our way into one of the guest rooms in his home, almost stumbling on whatever thing we came across as we couldn't let go of each other. We closed the door immediately after getting inside the room, finally breaking our heated kiss while we breathed out heavily as we stood close to each other, our hands playing with the hem of our clothing and our skin radiating heat of how toxic we got immersed in each other presently, making me give him a bright smile.“Don't smile at me like that. You know, it drives me crazy,” Ryan said huskily as he slipped his hands under my blouse and unhooked my bra.“How?” I grinned, smiling at him more profusely while placing my both hands on his broad shoulders, as a cute smile lit up his handsome face too.Who could have known I would be in this crazy condition, most especially with my stepbrother?We just finished hanging out with his friends at the pool party and secretly escaped our way back home without anyone n

Spring, two years after, It was already getting dark when the taxi dropped me in front of my mum's new family home. The journey from Bradford in the United Kingdom to Albany in New York was quite stressful as I tried to hold the handle of my luggage and a big traveling box to stand firmly in place on the ground. I stared at the magnitude mansion that took the natural environment as sacred, though it was modern to every single detail, it was built around the trees protecting them. Three interlocking levels show the versatility of color in the two-storey mansion. Featuring large panes of glass and even wider viewing platforms, while the stunning horizontal wooden panel makes a clear path to the front door. The cold breeze fanned my face as I fought the urge to stop the tears that glistened on my face. I used the back of my right hand to wipe my eyes and breathed out. 'I can't still believe mum left dad to live this kind of life, so selfish of her,' I thought angrily as I began to pu

After putting finishing touches to the edges of my hair, I grabbed my black school bag and walked out of my room, closing the door gently behind me.Today was going to be the first day in my new school and I prayed everything will go well, with no issues with the students, especially my classmates because most students in school tend to pick on the new student and if you're beautiful and from a wealthy family, you'll be saved from all that because everyone would want to be with you.Which is just hypocrisy…I got closer to the dining room, drawn by the aroma of toast bread and bacon when I started hearing giggles and chuckles, making me curious as I walked into the dining room single-mindedly interrupting my mum and stepdad who were kissing and tickling each other as I coughed lightly and avoided their gaze.“Good morning, Hailey,” My mum chirped, nervously moving away from my stepdad when she noticed my presence.“Morning,” I replied flatly.“I'll get going to work, see you later,” M

HAILEY's POV. I finally got to the house where the party was taking place, thanks to Brielle's description, I reached the front of the apartment which was blaring out hip hop music. I already told mum that I wanted to go see Ryan, leaving the party section out of it… She doesn't need to know about that. I was putting on black jeans and a navy green jacket as I covered my head with the hood, I knew I would be the odd one to be dressed here, especially when girls around my age would be putting on skimpy body con dresses and any other dress that would expose their body to a night party. I got irritated by the smell of Liquor and smoke from cigarettes as I lowered my head while using my arm to cover my nose. Furthermore, I got inside the house crowded with hormonal and crazy teenagers as they rocked and danced to the beat of the music. I looked up and glanced and luckily no one knew who I really was, some guys just glanced at me and passed, maybe because of the way I was dressing. I

HAILEY's POV. I tried to sink into what Ryan just said to me as everyone became silent and gathered around us. I glanced at Brielle who was now giving me a smug look, but I was less concerned about her as I directed my gaze back to Ryan's cold-stricken face. 'What the fuck are you doing here?' His voice rang in my ears as it began to pierce my eardrum. “Ryan!” I started softly, trying to make my voice as calm as possible. “It's me, Ha-Hailey!” My voice cracked as I stared at him hurt and pained, endeavoring to make him know and remember I was the same Hailey he always fancied about back then. I attempted to move closer to him and touch him, but he backed off immediately like someone was about to pour acid on him, as I heard the girls begin to giggle among themselves. Brielle rolled her eyes and scoffed as she crossed her arms over her chest and leaned on the wall as she smirked and gazed at us. “I told you to stay away from me, Hailey, You shouldn't have shown up that ugly face
