MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN CHAPTER 042: OBSESSED
SELENE;“How sweet!” I grumbled, almost too loudly as I bent over the open laptop, finger swiping too fast across the touch button. Every message I read jabbed at my heart. I was starting to regret my actions. I mean, this wasn't why I stopped low and begged that dickhead to install this program on my laptop and have it hidden perfectly. Not to read all these stomach-flickering text messages he was sending to some other girl that's not me!I didn't bargain for all these petty talks Ronan was dishing out to that classless, slum girl. His stepsister for crying out loud!I moved away from the laptop before I would be tempted to smash it against the floor. Grabbed my yoga mat that was still laid out on the floor, rolling it up, my hands vibrating in anger that thudded through my veins.My body still slick with sweat, my eyes kept darting to the laptop on the dresser asking it for more. More than just those annoying texts. I had been patient, so patient, for this moment. For him.I had a

JUNE;The quietness of the library was all I needed. Even though I could barely concentrate on the book that lay open before me. I had walked out of the last session without glancing back. Ronan’s eyes stayed on me the whole time, like he was praying the last teacher would leave already.Soft footsteps approached. I didn’t look up until a familiar voice broke the heavy silence.“Skipping class to hide from your hot stepbrother? Bold strategy, June,”Romy dropped into the chair across from me, moving her curly wild hair away from her face, eyes sparkling with mischief. She slid a cold can of soda toward me and leaned in like we were sharing state secrets.“You missed Ronan’s session,” she said, voice low and teasing. “He kept glancing at the door every two minutes. Looked like he wanted to drag someone out of hiding. Wonder who that could be?”“Stop already, Romy.” Heat flooded my cheek. I took the soda but didn’t open it. “I couldn’t face him today.”“But why exactly?” Romy studied me
MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN CHAPTER 040: BONE-CRUSHING SURPRISES
JUNE;I watched the phone ring until it finally stopped, the screen going dark. I couldn't pick it up, my hand tightened hard around the plastic cup Romy had handed over to me.I took a slow sip of the cold drink, the sweetness doing nothing to calm the storm in my chest. The phone buzzed again almost immediately. Romy tilted her head, clearly catching the name on the screen. Her eyes went wide with surprise and a little excitement.“That's Ronan! Why aren’t you picking up his calls?” she quizzed. But I didn't say a word, my words hitched.“That's like the hottest guy in our department, June,” she added, leaning closer with her eyes beaming.“I just do not want to speak to him right away,” I answered. She shrugged, lifting the plastic cup in her hand to her lips. “I'm curious, especially after you two danced like that at the formal. Everyone was watching. You guys looked so good together.” Her lips ran.I scoffed dryly and shook my head. I didn’t want Romy to get the wrong idea abo
MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN CHAPTER 039: SAND PLAY, AND PARTY
JUNE; “Ronan hurt you this badly?” Mary snapped. She sat beside me, watching me with careful eyes. Then her voice rose again, describing all the rich folks as bad and rude. “And he appeared on that bike like he was the best natural thing,” her jaw tightened. “Look what he did to you in just a few minutes he went off with you… Your eyes are red, Juney,” her hand rested underneath my jaw. “What exactly did he do this time?” She queried. “Did he take sides with that Selene girl? Wait! He was rude to you again?” “No,” I shook my head, Mary's eyes were searching mine deeply. I opened mine to talk, I almost spilled. But I couldn't, a part of me still wanted to protect him. “I'm just… just hurt, May.” “Oh, my baby,” she said softly, pulling me into her shoulder. “I told you he had baggage. I told you he was intense. Now look at you, hurt and crying because of him.” “You don’t have to tell me everything right now. But whenever you’re ready, I’m here. No judgment. I just want wh
MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN CHAPTER 038: BROKEN ILLUSIONS
JUNE:I jammed the door shut behind me with a loud bang and quickly twisted the lock, making sure it clicked into place. My hands were shaking so badly I had to try twice. The second the lock caught, hot tears filled my eyes, I sniffed hard trying to push them back into my head while I paced the room like a trapped animal, rubbing my palm hard over my forehead, trying to wipe away the ugly pictures in my head.Ronan’s voice followed me upstairs. “June… Please open the door.” He called out, his voice low and urgent.I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. The moment the bike had stopped in the driveway, I had limped away as fast as my hurt ankle would let me. Every step sent sharp pain up my leg, but I didn’t care. Before he could stand the bike and rush toward me I was in my room. I just needed to get away from him, I couldn't stand looking at his face. My chest was heaving, my breathing loud and broken. I could hear him leaning against the other side of the door now, knocking gently.“June, t
MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN CHAPTER 037: EX AND SECRETS
RONAN;I saw the look on June’s face the moment Natalie appeared. The disdainful way her eyes moved from me to Natalie and back to me. The disappointment and quiet hurt settled deep in her hazel eyes. It hit me harder than any punch ever could. I never wanted this day to come when I would come face to face with the past I loathe so much, the mistake that had always gnawed at my heart.Facing the stupid mistake I’d been trying so hard to bury. One drunken night, in the hotel room, and now it was standing right here in front of us, chewing bubble gum and smiling like she owned me. How on earth did she find me?!My shoulders slumped. I turned to June, forcing my voice to stay calm. I handed her the two warm paper bags.“June… please wait by the bike,” I said softly. “Just give me a minute… I’ll handle this,”She didn’t argue. She only nodded, her eyes moving slowly from my face to Natalie, then back to me. The disappointment in them cut really deep. She turned and limped toward the bik
