Vianne

The diner table smelled like grease and coffee, and I loved it. Waiting tables at Miller's wasn’t glamorous, but it was mine.

My own money, earned without my mother's manipulation, without being paraded in front of whatever mark she was working.

For a week now, I'd been coming here after school, pocketing tips, and watching my savings account actually grow for once.

"Order up, Vianne!" Joe, the cook, slid two plates across the counter.

"Got it!" I grabbed them and delivered them to table seven, my smile genuine despite my aching feet.

The hardest part wasn't the work but hiding it from Briar.

Every day, I told her I was studying with Diana or working on a group project. She'd narrow those blue-gray eyes at me, suspicion flickering across her face, but she never pushed.

Maybe she was too busy planning her next move with Theodore, or too occupied with playing the perfect wife to care what her daughter was really doing. Or so I thought.

"You're staying late again?" Briar

  • DANGEROUS ADDICTION: In Love With My Stepbrother   Chapter 138

    CHAPTER 138LeviSeeing Vianne jump up in excitement gladdened me.It feels good to see her this excited.Vincent walked closer to me.He had been trying to speak to me the entire time since we started searching for the mystery box.I was only in the same team with him because Darren insisted.“I was fucked up, man. I should not have held her like that, I know you care for her since she is your stepsister.”I turned sideways at him. “Do not ever hold her that way ever again, Vincent. You do not treat a lady in that manner!”Darren chipped in. “He is right, Vincent. What you did was really fucked up.”“I know guys and I am sorry. I am going to apologize to her,” Vincent stated.He sounded convincing.“Cool,” I muttered.I continued to watch Vianne go through the box with a wide grin.Mr Anderson and Miss Chloe walked over to them and announced their team as the winner.Afterwards, we headed to the house and ate dinner before returning to our various rooms.Alexander had been quiet sinc

    CHAPTER 137Vianne I closed the distance between us. “I know you got Cole to apologize to me. Why are you doing, this? Why do you still care?”He kept his gaze fixed on the door. “Please, go.”I slowly pushed the door closed.“I am confused, Levi. I have a lot of theories in my head and I just…”He tilted his back towards me. Oh how much I have missed those green gorgeous eyes and his gentle gaze.The door flung open.I instantly moved back.Mr. Anderson marched towards us and his eyes darted between Levi and I simultaneously.“We were speaking to our parents on the phone,” I muttered.“You both get in now,” He demanded.I slipped into the house. I noticed my classmates were all gathered in the living room and joined them.Miss Chloe walked over to where everyone could see her. “Trust you all enjoyed the tour.”“Yes,” We echoed in unison.“Good. Tonight is going to be games night,” She announced.Some of my classmates cheered loudly.Mr Anderson stepped forward towards Miss Chloe. “

    CHAPTER 136VianneA coincidence?New York City is too large a city for such a coincidence.Or maybe it was like he claimed, but if it wasn't, it meant Levi followed Alexander and me here. I held my head up high as I made my way across to Alexander.Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw.Lydia. She was seated right across from Alexander.As soon as she noticed me, she waved her hands in the air.I forced a smile and paused right next to her.She stood and pulled me in for a hug. “What a coincidence.”This might really be a coincidence like Levi claimed.Lydia pulled away from the hug and signaled to the waiter while I looked on.“I need two more chairs, please,” She muttered.For someone as famous and rich as Lydia, she was so respectful and calm.The waiter joined two more chairs to our table.I watched her call out to Levi. “See who I ran into,” She muttered. “We can have like a double date and catch up.”Levi walked over to the chair and sat right next to Levi while I too

    CHAPTER 135LeviGood thing we were finally on our way back to the hostel.After seeing that Vianne opted to go to Colombia, I decided it was best to go for the other option.I could not let what happened last night repeat itself.Making sure she is safe was my utmost priority.The tour was boring.I was uninterested. Lydia was beside me the whole time. She seemed excited and had a huge grin on her face the whole tour.The car finally came to a halt.I sprang up.“What did you think about it?” Lydia asked.“Good.” I stepped away from her.My eyes drifted towards the bus’s window. I caught a glimpse of Alexander entering a black SUV with his hands wrapped around Vianne’s wrist.What the hell?I hurried out of the bus instantly and waved down a cab.“Where the hell are you going? You could get into trouble with Mr Anderson,” Lydia who I had no idea was right behind me stated.I looked over at the bus.Mr Anderson's back was turned. He seemed to be addressing the rest of the students.I

    CHAPTER 134VianneA tiny part of me never believed that Levi never cared for me as he claimed.If he really didn't, why did he still care so much?“What exactly did he….”Before I finished, Cole hurried over to the rest of his friends while I looked on.I searched around for Levi. He was not here.He must have opted to go your New York University.Alexander tapped me lightly on the shoulder. “Let’s go in.”We both followed behind Miss Chloe.After a while, she paused and began speaking with two girls who seemed to be students at the College.I looked over at Diana, who had her arms looped around Vincent’s.I needed an opportunity to speak to her but there was no way I could do that with Vincent right by her side.Alexander spoke from behind me. “You have been staring at her the whole trip. Are you guys good?”“She is mad at me,” I mumbled.I hated not having Diana by my side.It had barely been a whole day and I was missing her so much.The way she continuously yaps and always has so

    CHAPTER 133VianneI scrolled through Cole’s apology with a straight face.“The picture was edited. I am sorry, Vianne,” I read out aloud.I checked through the comment section, and there were so many people bashing him. Some called him crazy while others referred to him as an attention seeker.I dropped my phone beside me.My eyes flickered towards the door again.It had been almost thirty minutes since Diana walked away with Vincent.I sat up.Lydia turned towards me. “Why aren’t you sleeping?”“Nothing,” I replied as I stood up. I needed to get a drink to get through tonight.I strolled towards the door.Just as I reached for the handle, the door flung open and Diana stepped in with a straight face.“Hey,” I muttered.She said nothing and walked towards her bed.I watched as she pulled off her clothes and went straight to bed.I took a deep breath. She must still be upset.My eyes caught Lydia’s. She had a skeptical look on her face.“Everything okay?” She mouthed.I nodded briefl
