Mile's POV

I barely had time to catch my breath before Ryan grabbed the front of my shirt again.

“Open it.” he yelled at me. "Open the dammned locker now you thief" he snarled.

"I'm not a thief, it's a set up. I didn't take it" I was close to tears as I spoke but Ryan didn't look like he cared about my explanation.

My voice echoed through the hallway, but no one seemed interested in listening. Students had gathered around us, whispering while several held up their phones to record, and the sig

  • BROKEN BY MY STEPBROTHER   Chapter 11

    Ryan's POVI had been staring at the ceiling for almost an hour, unable to sleep.Miles had been taken to the hospital. I had watched him fall. I had seen my teammates kick him. I had heard King shouting for them to stop, and I had done nothing quickly enough. I kept telling myself I hadn't meant for things to go that far.Miles had stolen my earrings. Kourtney had told me she saw him take them and hide them in his locker. When the earrings were found there, I had believed her. But maybe I shouldn't have hit him.Maybe I shouldn't have dragged him to his locker. Maybe I should have listened when he kept insisting he hadn't taken them. And maybe I should have stopped my teammates.I closed my eyes, but the image of Miles lying terrified on the floor returned immediately. For the first time, I couldn't ignore the truth. I had gone too far.A

    Third person's povGiselle and King entered the hospital room quietly, but Claire noticed them immediately. She had been sitting beside Miles’s bed with one hand wrapped around his, her eyes swollen from crying as she watched him lie unconscious beneath the hospital sheets. The moment Giselle saw her, her expression crumpled, and she hurried across the room to embrace her.Claire broke down against her shoulder. “What happened to him?” Her voice trembled as she pulled back. “What happened to my son?”King stood a few feet away, his face hard with anger. He had been carrying the image of Miles lying helplessly on the hallway floor since leaving the school, and seeing him unconscious in the hospital only made his guilt and fury worse.“It started with Kourtney,” he said.“Kourtney?” Claire stared at him.&nb

    Third person's POV Claire and Jack were curled together on the large chair in the living room, the television paused on the streaming menu while they argued over what movie to watch. Claire was tucked against Jack’s side with his arm around her shoulders, and neither of them seemed particularly interested in making an actual decision. “I already told you, I don’t want to watch another action movie,” Claire complained, glancing at the options on the screen. Jack looked down at her with amusement. “You say that every time, and then you end up watching the entire thing.” Claire turned her head to stare at him. “Because you refuse to choose anything else.” Jack laughed, but before he could answer, her phone began ringing from the table beside them.Claire reached for it without much thought, but the moment she looked at the screen, her smile disappeared. “It’s the school.”Jack immediately noticed the change in her expression. “What is it?” he asked.Claire shook her head, already ans

Students had gathered around us, whispering while several held up their phones to record, and the sight of all those eyes fixed on me made my skin crawl. Ryan stood directly in front of me with his basketball teammates behind him, while Kourtney watched from the side with a smug expression that made my stomach twist.King pushed through the crowd. “That’s enough.” he snapped. "Let him go, Miles isn't a thief" Ryan glanced at him. “Stay out of this.” He coldly said to home.“No.” King stepped between us again, his expression hardening. “You accused him of stealing something he didn’t take, dra

  • BROKEN BY MY STEPBROTHER   Chapter 7

    Mile's POV I spent most of the previous evening staring at the key Ryan had thrown at me, trying to understand what had possessed him to give it to me in the first place. Ryam was not kind to me, and he had made that painfully clear from the moment I entered his life; he did not care whether I walked to school, arrived late, or collapsed from exhaustion on the side of the road, so the fact that he had noticed I was limping and handed me a key to an old motorbike without expecting anything in return made absolutely no sense. I didn't understand him, and I understood myself even less because, despite everything, I had still thanked him.The motorbike was old compared to the expensive cars parked inside the estate, but it ran perfectly, and riding it through the city was far less humiliating than walking along the road while students passed me in their cars. By the time I reached Blackwell University, I almost felt more confident, until I had barely made it past the entrance before Ko

    Mile's POV The final bell echoed through the classroom, and almost everyone was already on their feet before the teacher had even finished dismissing us. School was finally over today. I packed my notebook into my backpack as slowly as I could, waiting for the room to empty a little before standing. The last thing I wanted was to accidentally run into Ryan after everything that had happened today.Thankfully, I didn't.By the time I stepped outside the building, King and Giselle were already waiting near the front steps."You look like you've been through a war," King said the moment he saw me."I feel like it." I sighed."Come on. I'll buy you coffee." He chuckled. "I'm broke."King raised an eyebrow. "Since when?"I hesitated for the briefest moment. Since this morning, when Ryan had thrown me out of his car before school and I'd been too embarrassed to admit I barely had enough money left to get through the week. Instead, I shrugged. "I... lost my money." The lie came easier tha

    Miles POVLater that week, I sat in the passenger seat with my backpack resting between my feet while my mother drove, occasionally humming along to whatever song was playing on the radio, and every time I glanced at her, I saw the same smile that had been on her face all week, the smile of someone

    Miles POV"Alright, you can leave, Miles" The teacher said and I gave him a grateful smile before rushing out of the class. I let out a sigh, the hallway was pretty much empty as usual."Finally" I whispered to myself, heading to the bathroom. It took a lot of courage to be able to asked permission

    Miles POVMy blood turned cold. For a second, I genuinely thought I was imagining things. Maybe I was tired from the drive. Maybe my brain was playing some kind of cruel joke on me.Because there was absolutely no way the person standing in the doorway could be Ryan Blackwood s.There was no way, o

    Miles POVThe rest of the evening was torture. After unpacking a few boxes and putting some of my clothes away, I stayed in my room for nearly an hour trying to calm down, but every time I started feeling slightly better, I remembered Ryan’s face when he had grabbed my collar and threatened me, and
