Jasmine’s POV

“What do you think we should do now?”

“We?” I crossed my arms tightly over my chest. “I clearly recall you telling me there is no..” I made air quotes with my fingers. “...we” I added.

“Whatever, cheap skank. I’m getting out of here, to where I can actually think.”

“Yeah…whatever.” He turned to glare at me as he walked towards the door.

Wait…I snapped and he paused.

The air shifted. Thick with Talon’s scent. My heart sank to my stomach. The eavesdropper that probably ran off, has probably reported us to him.

“What are we going to do, Alfonso?” My voice was a panicking mess, “Talon is here.” I whimpered, with barely steadied breathing.

“You think I don't know that?” He spat. “How about you quit acting like a scared little pussy first? If you continue like this he’s going to catch us. Do you understand? He’s probably just passing by.”

“And if you are wrong? Then he waltzes in here? He’s going to ask you what you were doing in here. With me, what are you going to tell

  • He Chose My Step-Sister and I Chose His Step-father    Chapter 29

    Jasmine’s POV My chest flared as Talon whispered those words. He was strong but whenever he was in the presence of his step-father, he'd just change into a weakling completely. Let’s just say he was intimidated by his father. I have come to notice he has a little daddy issues here and there. Always seeking validation from his father. Always doing things so he can prove to his father he is strong and worthy of his love. Tragic.His step-father was screwing his ex-mate. If he didn't see the man didn't give a shit about him. Then he’s not as smart as I thought he is.I hissed after Talon's words and walked away. Once I got to my room I banged the door shut. Such an attention whore. She just got here and she's managed to turn everyone into hunting dogs. Same thing that whore of her mother did to my dad. Took his attention from me. Good thing she didn't live long, otherwise, I’m sure she would've found a means to throw me out of the house. Knock Knock. A knock sounded on the door. “L

  • He Chose My Step-Sister and I Chose His Step-father    Chapter 28

    Magnus POV The meeting with Talon ended. He gave me the file containing everything and the person who was responsible. Still, there is this gut feeling that says this is not the right person. There were pot holes in the information he presented. For some reason I couldn't seem to connect the dots. There was no objective either. Maybe Cassia will have better luck seeing the person who works in her company.Though I am still pissed at her for earlier. I will be the bigger person and set aside our differences and get this over with, so she can go back to being the Cassia I know. I miss the old one.Talon brought out his hand for a handshake. I looked at it disdainfully. “Come on, dad. I have helped you.Can't we just act normal?” “Go to hell, Talon.” I walked away from him. I slid into the car seat, closed the door. “We got what we needed.” I said it without looking at her seat. She was awfully quiet so I turned to her seat. It was empty. Did I fail to tell her not to wander about?

  • He Chose My Step-Sister and I Chose His Step-father    Chapter 27

    Cassia’s POV I stared at her with a lump in my throat, feeling the nausea building up in my mouth. My surprise didn’t seem to face her. She stood there smiling at me like she had known me my entire life. Like she had known me before I was formed in the womb.Her hair was completely gray, not a single strand of black anywhere. She was not so tall. She sneezed and her curls bounced forward, covering her feebled cheek bones. The silk linen she wore laid on her frame perfectly giving her the perfect silhouette. There was something about her eyes—green like emeralds. It reminded me of the people I have lost. One in particular. My mom.“Who are you?” I managed to ask through the fear that made my teeth clench. “I know who you are, Cassia.” My name on her tongue sent a shiver down my spine. I looked at her face again, trying to register the features in my brain. “I still do not know who you are. ” “You will soon enough,” There was a hit of amusement in her voice. “Come on, will you?” S

  • He Chose My Step-Sister and I Chose His Step-father    Chapter 26

    Cassia’s POVI pressed down on the brakes instantly, making us jerk forward. As the car came to a stop, I heard a thud or crash sound. I must've collided into the car that was coming behind us. Not that I care. Not at the moment. Not with the way my chest is fuming.“Why did you do that, Cassia? You would have gotten yourself injured,” “Not the answer to my question, Magnus. “What is the meaning of this? Clearly there are several other shooting ranges we could’ve gone to. Why are we going to Rowridge’s?” He said nothing, just looked at me. Unfazed. I nodded my head. At the realization. “You planned this didn't you? You did this on purpose. To take me there? To use me for your revenge against your son?”“Revenge?” He furrowed his brows. "What the fuck are you talking about?”He looked at me like I was a child spewing nonsense. Maybe I was. My thoughts were just spiraling out of control. “Isn't that the reason you married me in the first place? Now you want to take me back there?

  • He Chose My Step-Sister and I Chose His Step-father    Chapter 25

    Cassia’s POV “Rise and shine, pumpkin,” I blinked my eyes open to find Magnus standing by parted blinds, his face beaming with smiles. His arms were crossed tightly on his chest, while the sunlight peeked from behind him, making him look like a sexy angel. I let out a tired yawn as my eyes struggled to adjust to the amount of light, piercing through it. “What time is it?” I muttered, my head still in a jumbled mess. “More like what day is it?” He walked over to my bedside and sat. “How are you feeling?” He grazed my cheeks, meeting my gaze with his dazzling gray eyes.“My head hurts and..” I raised my hurting hand in the air. “my hands.” Then my brain processed what he said earlier, hitting me with it like a tornado. “What…what day is it?” "You've been asleep for two days, Cassia.” My eyes widened in my sockets.“Wha…at?” I couldn't process it. But my body confirmed, it was true. No wonder why I feel so tired and I feel my body stiffen like ungreased engines. “Why didn't you wak

  • He Chose My Step-Sister and I Chose His Step-father    Chapter 24

    Magnus’s POV The house was like a graveyard when I woke up. Dark and eerie. The moon light illuminated the windows, gracing parts of the marble floor with its alluring blue. I squinted against the darkness as I suddenly felt the urge to pee, my abdomen a heavy sac of liquid threatening to explode, so I doubled over carefully and turned on the lights.When I turned to look at Cassia's space, she wasn't in it. When my hands roamed the sheet, it was cold as ice, just like her expression from this afternoon.Where could she be, I wondered. It was unlike her to not sleep on the bed with me. Unless there was something bothering her. I went to the bathroom, eased myself, then grabbed a robe from my closet. I stepped out of the room, barring a hand on my waist. My wound was still hurting, though it was healing but it will still take a couple of days, since I was shot with poisoned silver. I limped around the house with a sore back and a piercing pain on my waist region. But I couldn’t fin
