view moreLUCAS POVAnger was fuming and releasing heat throughout my body as I saw the scene. During my talk with Zack, I told him to stay careful not to meddle around Kayla, who happens to be his stepsister now. From Zack's response, I saw that he wasn't attentive to my rule, which made me boil throughout the day. Seeing him with her again made me view him in a different light. My point of view towards him now is in a state. "Zack", I yelled at him as he was sitting next to her on the bed. "Dad", his response was light but deviant in its tone. "What are you doing here?" I asked as my anger level was rising at a fast rate. "What are you doing here, Dad?" His tone was still in its rebellious mode, which I sensed from afar. A thick cloud of silence engulfed everyone in that room as no one dared to say anything. My eyes rolled to Kayla, whose face was written in confusion. She wasn't herself as she moved her body aimlessly. "I told you that she is now your stepsister, didn't I say so?" I s
KAYLA POVAfter a while, Zack came back with a strange expression that changed instantly on seeing me. From what I saw, I knew the atmosphere wasn't friendly. When he came from that corner, I tried to move away quickly, but he held my hands. "Come on, everything's fine", he said as he held my hand "Then what was that heated atmosphere all about?" I asked since he's trying to hide something from me. "Nothing, it's just a father and son conversation", he said after a little hesitation. Observing the environment, Lucas and my mom were seated in the spacious lounge where Zack and I were shopping for clothing. All this while, Lucas was still looking stern while my mother was on the phone. I just wish this shopping spree would end soon because it wasn't what I expected. Instead of shopping for items, I was shopping for emotions between this family triangle. At times, I wondered how fate brought me into the triangle. Zack was my first love, whom I met during my college years. We are mo
KAYLA POV I woke up tired but felt weirdly happy. From my perspective, I tried to comprehend, which I later understood, that yesterday's experience with Zack caused this. Since it was a weekend, I was still relaxed on the bed awaiting princess treatment as I fantasized. Being half awake, I searched for my phone, which was found at the table near the bed. Scrolling through messages from different social media, I made sure I responded to important ones. Seeing flirting messages from men was a natural phenomenon on a girl's phone. So, I had to keep them pending as I have no business with that. Either we are for business or nothing. The relationship I'm experiencing currently is complicated and I don't need any additional stress. While still fantasizing during my phone usage, the door opened to reveal Zack. "Kayla, hope you slept well?" He said as he revealed his clear eyesight which I couldn't understand. He watched while I slept off, but I still feel sleepy even now. "Am good", I t
KAYLA POVI didn't understand why Zack left in such a manner. This is where my mind resumed work as soon as the new day dawned on me. Ever since he left, I have decided to lock my door from the inside to avoid any disturbance. That was how far I can remember vividly. Back to the new day, as the transfer of power will officially be given to him. At least, I'm just excited that some responsibilities are taken off my shoulders. I decided to clear my mind by using my phone to respond to pending messages. At a point, my mind tilted back to Hunter, who happened to break our friendship in an unlikely manner. To be honest, I don't know if other people are experiencing what I'm seeing throughout this period. Since I can't respond to it and no one is available to do so, I left it in that state. It's another work day as I prepare accordingly so that I'll maintain my clean sheet. Moving out, Zack was already approaching my door. His appearance pissed me off so much that I nearly left, but he s
KAYLA POVAfter a series of dramas in the company, I decided to I'll move home to have a rest. But Lucas, in his words, told me that we are moving together. He spent a considerable amount of time chatting with his friend. From what I noticed so far, this is one of the longest times Lucas has spent with a person. I should guess he was an important person to him. Nevertheless, I have to wait for him to finish his engagements. After a while, he came out, signifying that it's time to move. I packed up and we moved out of the building. "Josh will be joining us for dinner tonight", Lucas said as he moved towards the car. The name sounds familiar, but I had to clear your doubt. "Your friend, right?" "Yes, I sent out words to your mother as she'll prepare accordingly", I nodded as he said his final piece before entering the car. When we entered the car, an unsettling silence resided between us. As usual, I looked out at the window as the car swung into motion. As I peeped, Lucas was sti
KAYLA POV Observing my surroundings, I noticed a similar external feeling: happiness. Lucas was happy to see his son once again. Zack was glad to be accepted back home. On the other hand, my mother was overjoyed about the father-son reunion. There I was, sitting with mixed emotions. Zack, my first love, was seated before me. The backstory here was that he left without saying anything. I attempted to reach out to him, but he shut me out. I was left alone in my world, trying to figure out my wrongs. After several months of relentless searching, I found a social media account linked to him. I was glad, but my happiness was short-lived when I discovered a shocking secret. In his posts, he posed with a girl, complete with relationship captions below the pictures. I thought it was just wordplay or a prank until I saw several pictures of the duo in various places and at different occasions. There, I realized that Zack had left me for another girl. My world came crashing down, leaving
