~~Abigail Darlington~~

Nero told me to meet him at a small diner outside of the school's campus area. We might still run into a student or teacher, but it won't be weird as long as we don't touch.

Or leave together.

I got there before him, feeling more nervous than I'd ever been. I'm supposed to give this cocky, confident girl. However, I can't feel anything but panic and fear.

My heart is pounding really hard, and all I want to do is to find a solution to my money problems. But I also don't

  • Darling and Her Ex's Stepbrothers   082: Ending The Night

    ~~ Abigail Darlington~~The rest of the night carried on surprisingly well after that.The tension that had been lingering earlier completely dissolved once the game kept going. Card after card had us laughing harder, drinking more than we probably should have, and daring each other to do increasingly ridiculous things.Some of the dares were harmless.Others… definitely weren’t.At one point Nero had to sing an entire love song dramatically while kneeling on the floor like he was proposing to the coffee table. Romeo had to answer an embarrassing question about his worst date. Niccolo somehow ended up having to do push-ups while Nero counted them wrong on purpose just to irritate him.And then there were the hotter dares.Those were the ones that made everyone suddenly very interested in the cards.Every time someone rolled onto one of those spaces, the room filled with hoots, teasing, and the sound of drinks being poured. The alcohol kept flowing like none of us had any sense left.A

    ~~Abigail Darlington~~I was a little more than happy to grind on Romeo.He could clearly use the chance to relax, and I definitely wasn’t about to turn down an opportunity like this. The game had handed me the perfect excuse.Besides, I was the only girl here.Which meant I got to have all the fun.I felt the eyes on me immediately as I pushed up from the floor and slowly crawled toward Romeo. The movement was deliberate, playful, and I knew they were all watching.Nero leaned forward slightly in his chair, resting his elbows on his knees like he didn’t want to miss a single second. Niccolo didn’t move much, but his gaze tracked every inch of my progress across the rug.Being watched should have made me nervous.Instead it made something warm and electric curl in my stomach.As I moved closer to Romeo, my mind drifted briefly to the differences between the three men sitting around this table.The way each of them had answered—or avoided answering—their questions.Nero had smiled when

    ~~Niccolo Amoretti~~ I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone look so thrilled about being told to do something as insane as getting branded. Not just willing. Mother fucking Excited. Nero looked like someone had just handed him the best birthday present imaginable. The rest of us simply stared at him. Silently. Processing. Because surely we’d misheard him. “No one has a branding iron,” Romeo said flatly after a moment, rubbing a hand down his face. “Drink and choose another dare.” That should have been the end of it. It wasn’t. Nero shook his head immediately. Actually shook his head. “I have one,” he said casually, like he was talking about bringing extra socks. “It says fuck. I’ll go get it and Darling can brand me.” For a moment, no one spoke. Then Nero got up and walked toward the stairs like this was a completely normal sentence that normal people said during normal board games. Darling’s mouth slowly fell open. She stared at his retreating back as he disappeared u

    ~~Abigail Darlington~~Nero returned barely a minute later, arms loaded with a chaotic stack of boxes and decks that nearly toppled over as he dropped them onto the coffee table. The sudden clatter filled the room. Before I could even react, he grabbed my wrist and practically yanked me off Romeo’s lap.“Choose a game, pretty girl,” he said, already pushing the pile toward me.Romeo’s hands lingered on my waist for a second longer before letting go, his fingers sliding away reluctantly.“You could have picked one yourself,” I muttered, raising an eyebrow at Nero.He only smirked. “Where’s the fun in that?”Then he disappeared into the kitchen again, announcing over his shoulder that he was going to make “something special.”I knelt on the floor beside the table and began digging through the games. There were way more than I expected, classic board games, stacks of card games, and a few that looked suspiciously like party games meant for chaos rather than actual competition.My fingers

  • Darling and Her Ex's Stepbrothers   078: Movie Night PT 2

    ~~Abigail Darlington~~A heated argument about a TV show really was the perfect way to kick off a movie night. I had predicted it earlier and halfway through the second movie I was proven right once again. To think they tried to argue against this? I was just about to claim my well-earned victory and remind everyone that I had called it hours ago when my phone started buzzing loudly in my pocket.The screen lit up with a familiar name.Jade.I excused myself with a quick gesture, sliding off the couch before anyone could complain that I was interrupting the film. The sound of the movie followed me faintly as I headed toward the back door.Except… there wasn’t really a door anymore.I paused for a moment when I reached the frame, noticing the empty space where the door used to be. It had been completely removed, leaving nothing but the open frame and the cool ocean air drifting inside the house.Hmm, I wonder if this happened during the fight earlier.I pushed the thought aside before

    ~~Nero Amoretti~~Romeo and Niccolo locked eyes, the silence stretching for what felt like an eternity. Neither of them moved, and the tension in the room was almost tangible. My stomach did a little flip, this was one of those rare moments when both of my brothers looked vulnerable, human even, and it made me strangely nervous. Finally, Romeo exhaled sharply, breaking the quiet.“I’m sorry for the way I acted,” he said, his voice low but firm. “It was rude. I didn’t mean to upset you… or to make you question whether my protective instincts were in good faith.” He paused, running a hand through his messy hair, his jaw tight. “They weren’t. I was… jealous.”Hearing him admit it out loud was almost surreal. Saying it to me had been one thing, but confessing it to Niccolo and Darling? That was another level. It made me look at him in a new light; vulnerable, honest, and just a little human. Who knew Romeo even had it in him to openly admit his feelings?Darling and I both turned toward

    ~~Abigail Darlington~~It’s just a kiss.It was supposed to be just one kiss, then I would leave. And accept— I swear I will accept it this time— that there’s no way of changing Romeo’s mind about me.I was going to be satisfied with one kiss.Except I wasn’t. The moment his mouth touched mine, the

    ~~Abigail Darlington~~The brothers stared silently for a few minutes before I rolled my eyes and rested my head on the nearest surface. Which just so happens to be Romeo’s shoulder. None of them answered my question.“So, who’s going to feed me? I also need painkillers.” I asked another, hoping th

No chance to stop screaming, to catch your breath, to stop shaking. All I remember is begging Romeo, telling him I’m sorry—for god knows what— while my v
