CRAVING MY BULLY STEPBROTHER 128
ISABELLE Lucas pulled me in a hug. “I'm still speaking," I muttered. "Hockey doesn't matter to me as much as you do. Don't ever think leaving me is what's best for us. I'd be miserable if I didn't have you in my life.” But it wasn't that easy. By morning, the issue had escalated beyond social media. It was everywhere in news outlets, on TV. Even Hera had to crawl out of her shell to try to speak with me. I'd stopped going to work. Our old college photographs were everywhere, and it was uncovered that our parents were still married. So many people were demanding for Lucas' contract to be contaminated. They were threatening to ruin his next game. By the hour, things were getting worse. Genevra had sent a text saying two of the sponsors for my advocacy campaign had pulled out. Everything was falling apart. Lucas had left the house earlier, but I knew it wasn't for training. Of course, the hockey team definitely demanded an explanation. The situation had gotten out of

ISABELLEBeneath the post were more old photographs of us resurfacing. My past was coming back to me faster than I was ready to accept.I lost my balance a bit, my phone thudding on my desk. “Deep breaths, Isa. Deep breaths." Things were spiralling way too fast.The world was spinning. It was just one photo!Just a single photo of two innocent people in love, and everywhere on the Internet was my face. Lucas' call came in. I simply stared at it, my heart thudding.Could I talk to him right now?Honestly, no. I didn't want him to worry. But if I didn't pick his call, he'd worry more, and who knows, he may think he had to come home.Quickly, I turned on my monitor, scattered a few files on the desk, and sat myself back in my chair.Then I picked the call."Sorry, I was in the bathroom,” I said, avoiding looking at him, so he wouldn't see through me."What are you doing? Have you seen the Internet?”"Uh, I'm currently editing. My deadline is in two hours, and I'm far from done. I'

ISABELLE*OMG. They should start dating. Lol.**Why are they not together? Jeez! Jennie looks so good with Lucas!**She's so adorable in his jersey.**I'm getting mad. Justice for the singles. The least you guys can do is date and give us lovely content.**You found your perfect match, Lucas. There's no other girl out there for you.**Oh my God, they look so good together I'm crying. Lucas came straight out of an anime! Can you see those eyes? They say, only my woman can control me.**I'm unfollowing if they don't date. Lol.*The comments were all about how good they looked together. It got worse. *They're definitely dating. Lol.**I'm a staff where they shot this, and trust me, the chemistry while they shot this was mental! They are definitely dating.**I think I saw them together once when Lucas had a game. They seemed too close to be people who just met.*“What's that?" Lucas leaned over, “Oh, the shoot’s out. What are these geezers saying?" He took the phone, and gave a drastic

ISABELLE“Lucas Graham?" He asked, and his eyes went to my hand looping through Lucas'. "Your Fiance is Lucas Graham?”"Yes. Lucas meet…" “Silver Cronin," Lucas said. “You know each other?" I asked, looking from one man to another. “No. I know your dad. Your dad probably knows mine too," Lucas said, holding his hand out to Silver to shake. Silver held out his gloved hand.“Nice to meet you in person, Lucas Graham," Silver said. “Same." Okay, now it was weird. I couldn't even find one thing to say. "I actually came to congratulate your fiancee, and give her a gift. Is that fine?” My heart dropped.Okay, I didn't expect him to say that!I didn't want Lucas thinking we were on gifting terms. What was it with men and gifting me stuff??"Oh, you can have her attention then,” Lucas turned to me, "I'll be in the car. I'm freezing anyway,” he said with a charming smile, and a wink. My heart skipped.What was that wink? I'm watching you even when I can't see you?I trust you?"We c

ISABELLEI couldn't comprehend what I'd just heard. Hera was trembling all over, and I could hear Angie sniffing from behind me.Now, it was all playing back. Hera's self worth went down so much she needed people to love her, and would talk too much to cover up her insecurity.Zeus hated the dark. He didn't want people touching him. And it was when I said he'd make a good father that he cut himself by accident. And Angie… she had to watch, and… How long did she have to watch and be threatened?All three siblings were dealing with the same trauma in different ways.Angie began to cry. “Dad is gone. He's away somewhere far from us, and he's not coming back. When next something’s wrong with you, you talk to me, not talk to a stranger on a notepad. I'm your sister!” With that, she slammed the notepad on the floor, and stormed out. "I'll… I'll go after her." Lucy followed. Angie burst into tears. “He… he hated it whenever I spoke, and… and… and he said I had nothing to say, so… s

ISABELLEEver since that weekend I spent with Lucas by his side, seeing things directly for myself, my disposition about him changed completely. Taking such good care of him was indisputable.Even on days when we couldn't do our nightly video calls, or days he couldn't text just as much, instead of feeling abandoned, I felt worried.I was doing more of checking up, and making sure he was eating and not getting injured daily. The next phase of my life however was unraveling alongside his. One evening, the girls and I were out on the balcony. Lucy and Hera were talking about something I had completely no interest in, while Angie and I were trying out new candy, while discussing which was good, and which wasn't. Of course, she was using the notepad, but this time, she was more comfortable, and even laughed. The first time Angie laughed. I felt something deep in my chest shift. She could talk. She could make sounds, but she just wouldn't. What happened to make her do that? Either w

Isabelle “I’m not a child, mom!” I snapped, my voice higher than intended. “Your overprotectiveness is suffocating me. For crying out loud I’m 18 already, I’ll be starting college next year. Can’t you trust me for once?”She turned to me, her eyes blazing with anger. “Trust you? After what happe

ISABELLEMy hands were shaking.The laughter from the small crowd bleeding into my ears as the guy beside me watched his phone openly. He didn't even try to hide it."Four hundred likes already," the girl behind him said, her voice dripping with amusement. "She literally just stood there staring at

ISABELLEI rolled over my bed, trying to stretch my body but my hand instantly hit something. No, a creature. Or?I jumped out of the bed, fear clouding my face as I tried to know what was beside me.A creature?That was definitely Lucas Graham’s hair. His back, revealing a build up of fresh abs.

Isabelle “Bully?” My father’s words replayed in my head, over and over. *You just don't want me to be happy. You don't want your father to be happy.* He had barked, shocking me to the core.I had never seen my father like that. He was always trying to hear me out, but three days ago at the surpris
