HIS CHUBBY STEPDAUGHTER CHAPTER 085: OURS TO OWN
MICHELA:I found it hard to believe what he had just said.“You’re buying the land?” I asked. “You mean you’ll own it?”“Yes, baby.” Miles moved closer, stopping just short of touching me. “We own it now… No more fear of losing it.”He studied my face in that soft, knowing way of his, like he could already see the next question forming before I spoke it.“How?” I met his eyes. “The land is huge. It would cost a fortune, definitely.”I meant it. I had seen the bookstore accounts. The balance, even on a good stretch of months, was nowhere near enough for something that size. I had also seen the bank statement, and even though I wondered why Miles never took any reasonable amount of the proceeds, I didn't think it could afford such a property.Wills & Words only kept us going. It did not make us the kind of people who bought property out from under a threat.“I mean… Wills & Words can’t afford to….”His finger rested gently over my lips, stopping the rest like he didn't want to hear them
HIS CHUBBY STEPDAUGHTER CHAPTER 084: THE REVEAL
MICHELA;“You like them?”His voice came the moment the door opened. I turned sharply, the black sequined dress still in my hand as I trailed my fingers over the shiny fabric. His frame filled the doorway in a gray round-neck shirt and loose white jogger pants, the kind he wore around the house when he wasn’t trying to impress anyone… Domestic and familiar but dangerous to my resolve.“Not enough to fill in for a proper explanation,” I said.My heart was already beating too fast. At least he hadn’t seen me in any of the dresses yet. That would have given too much away… how badly I still wanted him under all the anger, how easily pretty fabric and his attention could undo me if I let them.He walked in and left the door open behind him. “You still haven’t changed out of that skirt and top. Doesn’t it feel uncomfortable by now?”He came over to the bedside where I stood, reached into one of the bags, and pulled out a turquoise sundress. The color caught the morning light as he held it
HIS CHUBBY STEPDAUGHTER CHAPTER 083: BAGS
MICHELA;Morning came whether I wanted it to or not. I turned under the covers, and my body felt like I was wearing a bag of bones. But when I turned and opened my eyes, my old bedroom came into view, an ugly reminder of the night before. Even my lower back complained, like I had spent the night carrying something heavier than sleep.“Ugh.” I let my forehead fall back into the pillow I had grabbed with my hands.My eyes caught on the white top I still had on, I had barely managed to get out of the jacket and boots before collapsing into bed. The tank top and leather skirt from the Gala were still on me, wrinkled now and twisted from restless sleep but that wasn't what mattered. Then came the knock on the door. I did not answer or say any words, I only turned my eyes toward the door, brushing disheveled hair out of my face with one hand.“Hi, Princess,” Miles said through the wood. “Can we start on a better note today?” He knocked again, softer this time.My heart thumped at the so
HIS CHUBBY STEPDAUGHTER CHAPTER 082: EXCEPTIONAL
MICHELA; Miles had the truck waiting just where he said he would. I walked up to the truck, he got down even before I got to the door and held it open for me. I slid in and fastened the seatbelt. He walked around and got into the driver’s seat, rumbling the engine to life. He looked over at me with that warm, proud expression still sitting on his face, like he was replaying the whole speech in his head. “You were exceptional up there,” he said. I managed a small smile, my hand still on the seatbelt. “Thank you.” That was all I gave him. He pulled out of the lot, one hand steady on the wheel, and for a few minutes neither of us said much. Under normal circumstances, I might have filled the quiet with everything still buzzing through me, the stage lights, Courtney standing first, Jemy’s arms around me, the way my name had sounded in other people’s mouths or at least singing along to the song playing softly from the car’s speaker. Instead, Celeste’s message kept rising to t
HIS CHUBBY STEPDAUGHTER CHAPTER 081: ALMOST-APOLOGY
MICHELA;The moment Jemy and I stepped out through the side exit, I pulled my phone out from the back pocket of my skirt. There was a message from Miles. I quickly read it and he was telling me he would be waiting for me in the truck. My throat moved once, the message from Celeste still fresh on my mind, but what bothered me more was that Miles had gone out to meet her with one of his “Be right back” excuses. But before I even had a chance to brood over it, two girls walked up to me—Courtney Adams and another girl who introduced herself as Naya West. We exchanged pleasantries and I could tell they were impressed.Courtney pulled out her phone, ready for a picture. Truth was, I was in no mood for pictures with Celeste’s manipulations, and Miles yielding to her efforts on my mind and then the urgent need to use the bathroom, but Jemy drew me in before I got a chance to decide. In seconds, we were showing our teeth and making faces for the camera. After that, Courtney gave me a side
HIS CHUBBY STEPDAUGHTER CHAPTER 080: HIS REGRET
AUTHOR;Nathan made it to the car before her name stopped ringing in his head.Her name still echoed with every footstep he took back to the lot.The cheering and the sounds of clapping were still coming out of the arena behind him, mixed up with overly excited voices. He yanked the driver’s door open, dropped into the seat, and slammed it shut hard enough to shake the frame. The noise from the Gala dulled the moment he sat into the driver's seat and jammed the door, but it didn’t disappear. It was like a bad song he didn't want to listen to, he rested his head against the steering wheel.Jessika got to the passenger side a few seconds later and pulled the handle.Locked.She knocked on the window, already annoyed. “Nathan, open the door.”He lifted his head, darted her a glance, and moved his face away to the dashboard, his jaw hurting from clenching too hard. Behind his eyes, he could still see Michela on that stage… shiny boots, skirt that hugged her curves perfectly, jacket shi
