Vianne's POV

I could hear my heartbeat pounding as I stepped into the steamy bathroom, the faded scent of shampoo and chlorine in the atmosphere. The thin, strapless bikini Candice handed me earlier hung loosely in my hands.

I fought the urge to storm out of the party altogether. I leaned towards the door in frustration, behind me, was a tall, calm looking girl with auburn hair and tired eyes, Perry. She closed the bathroom door gently.

I moved towards the mirror, to reflect on the whole situation I was in.

"You should change now," Perry said

A voice sliced through the voices in my head, she hesitated, her voice quieter.

"But before you do.... I need to say something."

I paused, clutching the edge of the sink. I looked at Perry through the mirror, unsure of what to expect.

"I'm sorry," Perry murmured, her voice trembling. "For everything, for the way I've treated you since you got here. I just... I need you to know, I didn't do that in my will, it really wasn't me, Not at all"

  • DANGEROUS ADDICTION: In Love With My Stepbrother   Chapter 34

    Vianne's POVCandice laughed, realizing that she had successfully made another innocent girl cry in front of everyone.“Come on,” she muttered softly, guiding me towards their already-reserved table that nobody dares to touch, not even any teacher.I sat stiffly at the table, surrounded by Candice and her gang like a deer trapped in a circle of wolves.They started to chat among themselves as they laughed and mocked whosoever it was that made up to be their topic of the day.Perry was seated among us too, but she was barely talking, she was busy eating her food while she operated her phone.“Aw, Vi,” one of the girls suddenly blurted my name. I knew what was coming next, she was about to mock me, and probably make a joke out of me.“You're so brave, Vianne. I mean, showing your face after what happened at the pool party.” She laughed and others joined her to laugh.“You know, I thought she was gonna commit suicide.” Another girl added bluntly, smirking her tongue as she spoke.Candice

  • DANGEROUS ADDICTION: In Love With My Stepbrother   Chapter 33

    Vianne's POVWe headed to the cafeteria and grabbed a tray each containing steaming foods as we stepped into the main hall to go and find a table for us.Everywhere was almost occupied by other students, and we had to pause on our track and search around for empty tables, but we still couldn't see one.The empty ones that were available are for the top students in the school, and nobody dares to sit there. The table is better to be left unoccupied, rather than having people like us sit on it.I sighted another empty table across the hall, but the moment I pointed it out to Diana, she suddenly flinched, “That's Levi and his friend's table, nobody dares get close to that side.” She mumbled, fear creeping into her voice.I glanced back at the empty table one more time and whispered silent curses at him. I bet Levi is just like every other bully in the school, maybe he's just a handsome bully. Hell, who cares?“Maybe we should go back to the class and eat there,” Diana suggested with a mi

  • DANGEROUS ADDICTION: In Love With My Stepbrother   Chapter 32

    Vianne's POVI stared at Levi until he turned down the hallway that led to his class, disappearing from sight.I sighed and turned back around, but I still couldn't move, I was motionless, and it felt lonelier now, the only person I thought ever had my back now sees me as nobody.What have I done?I exhaled and shook my head off the weird sounds in my head, I couldn't stop blaming my goddamn attitude for sending him away.I finally found myself after I was gone for about a couple of minutes. I came back to reality and shook my head sharply to see clearly again. I walked away and stepped into my classroom. Without hesitation, I strolled to my seat and sat quietly without making a sound. This was my usual spot—the window seat and it's my therapy, somehow.I hung my backpack at the handle of my chair and curled my arms around my head as I leaned on the desk to avoid seeing anyone, I just wanted to be alone. And if at all I wanted to speak to someone, that would be Levi. I wouldn't mind h

  • DANGEROUS ADDICTION: In Love With My Stepbrother   Chapter 31

    Vianne's POVMorning light filtered through my window, warm and piercing as I stirred from sleep with a dull, unpredictable ache in my arm, however it felt worse in my chest.I almost forgot that I had a sling wrapped around my neck and shoulder to help me hold my bandaged arm up. It feels awkward and I hated it.Fuck, the doctor must have exaggerated the situation because I really wasn't that hurt to have such kind of bandage wrapped around my arms and shoulders like I was some mummies.Somehow, it made me feel weak, pitiful and for the fact that today was Monday and I'll be needing my second arm made it even worse for me to get by with.I can't imagine going to school with this crazy shit around my neck like I fell from a ten story building. Not just that, what about the stares from other students, and the judgemental glances. I'm not just ready for any school drama today, I just want to be a student, that's all, I don't always want to be an object of ridicule all the time.Without

  • DANGEROUS ADDICTION: In Love With My Stepbrother   Chapter 30

    Vianne's POVI opened the window and the cool night breeze instantly swept in like a hug I didn't expect, yet, it felt like I loved and needed it. I stretched my neck outside the window, my eyes darting over the old wooden ladder that extends downstairs.Slowly, carefully, I began to climb down with just one hand to help myself. My other arm was as good as useless because it's trapped inside a bandage—sick!Just when I thought I've reached the ground floor and I could loosen my grip around the ladder, I suddenly realized that I just missed a step and it was too late by now. By the time I tried to grab the ladder to steady myself, I'd already lost my footing and slipped off the ladder.I let out a loud scream as I watched myself descend to the ground, only to be caught by strong arms before I could hit the ground with a heavy and painful thud.I gasped, shocked by the suddenness at which the person grabbed me. I fell straight into his arms and he was strong enough to hold me up so tha

  • DANGEROUS ADDICTION: In Love With My Stepbrother   Chapter 29

    Vianne's POVAfter having a bandage wrapped around my arm, Mom and I took a cab back home. It was a silent ride, she didn't say anything to me, neither did I utter a word to her.We stepped into the house quietly, my arm still hurts a bit, but I could manage. The house was eerily quiet, and heavy with something unsaid, but I cared less. I simply went straight to my room without saying anything to anyone, not even Theo who was seated in the living room.I closed the door softly behind me as if I was trying not to wake the sleeping storm that seemed to have consumed the entire household.I sluggishly dragged myself to my bed and slumped into it without thinking much about what happened earlier today during breakfast.I just wanted to breathe, somehow, this house seems suffocating and I can't really think straight.Few moments later, a gentle knock echoed through my door, but I ignored it.The knock came again, but a little bit firmer this time around.I slowly pulled myself upright from
