Mated to my professor stepbrother

IvyIf there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that I, Ivy Carter, am a terrible runner. But here I am running from a beast in the middle of the dark and oddly cold forest, my legs taking off in full speed like a pair of propellers.My heart beat rages in my ear as I run into branches,overgrown leaves and thorns. Do I know where I am?, no, do I know where I'm running to?, also no.The roar just a few kilometers away from me escalates the rhythm of my breathing, my heart almost at the verge of exploding with fear.“Somebody help me, anyone!” I scream, but the forest is isolated and again cold. I can't even remember how I got here.I slip and fall face down to the ground with a thud once I come in contact with the shrubs.My feet ache in pain and fatigue as soon as I spring up from the ground, looking for the best exit or a place to hide.The beast roars again but this time it was closer than ever.It charges at me springing in front of me just centimeters away from my face. I scream in f

IvyI splash cold running water on my face mentally preparing myself for today's version of what I call a nightmare. My stay here has been more than shitty and there's nothing I can do about it.Exhaling deeply, I pick up my bag off the bathroom floor and come out of the stalls already reciting my day's activities in my head.They are quite simple.Don't get noticed,stay low, avoid Aria and Freya.“Well, well , well, look who decided to come out of her hiding spot” comes a familiar voice that rings in my ear. I shoot my head up in shock as I gasp.Aria stares at her reflection at the bathroom mirror applying lipstick.No, no, no, not today!There she was Aria Vlad, the most popular girl in the university, my rival and bully.You'd think bullying stops at highschool but unfortunately it doesn't.I hold on to the strap of my book bag till my knuckles turn white. I try to keep a brave face but I can tell by Aria's expression that I'm doing a terrible job.“What do you want Aria?”She lau

IvyI tiptoe down the stairs making sure mom doesn't hear me leave my room.I intentionally woke up way earlier so I can leave the house without her seeing me. I don't want to have another conversation with her.I'm half way through the door when the lights turn on and I freeze.“You're up early, leaving so soon without me?” she asks.My shoulders fall as I turn around towards the direction of her voice but her appearance throws me off.I stand in horror looking at the clothes she has on.“Mom, what are you wearing?” I ask, pinching my nose in order to prevent myself from having a seizure.Who is she going to see dressed like this?The green V neck halter top she has on showed a concerning amount of her breasts and the fact that she's wearing my old mini skirt from highschool really isn't helping.“Is that anyway to greet your mother?”“Mom, why are you dressed like this?” I ask, fully tired.“To drop you off at school silly, I can't let my sweet daughter walk all the way there” She s

Ivy I haven't heard from Aria since yesterday, Freya seems to be on her best behavior too. She seems so lost without Aria leading her around.I really don't care though, I'm just glad that they've finally decided to leave me alone.I head into the nearest cafe that's just a few blocks around the campus to get some coffee since that's all I can afford at the moment.I'm sure by now the owner of the place would have known me just by my shadow since I come here quite often.But I'd have to admit, they make really good coffee.The bell above the door jingles and the melody fills my ears pleasantly as I step into the small building.I order my usual and take a seat at the edge of the back. I plug in my headphones and put my songs on shuffle.A nagging feeling that I'm being watched begins to creep up on me and I turn towards the direction where the energy is coming from.I catch a girl removing her gaze from my direction just in time to know she was staring.I furrow my brows feeling disc

CadenMy gaze shifts back to my father who in turn gives me a sheepish smile.“Father?”Mrs Carter clamps her hand together and smiles at me widely.“What's all the silence for, we should be happy”she giggles.I squint my eyes at her trying to see what she's getting at.She hugs him tightly.“Your father and I are in love and we're getting married”Von and I gasp at the same time and Ivy almost jumps out of her seat.Seems like she wasn't aware of this either.I take a step back not knowing what to say.What am I supposed to say?“Damn this is awkward,” Von says.“What?” She asks before kissing my father on the cheek and my heart beat stops for a second “Aren't you guys happy for us?”The room goes dead silent and none of us speak for what seems like an eternity.“Ivy doesn't look too good” Von finally says and I scan her demeanor. He's right, she looks like she might get a heart attack.She shouldn't be here, all this is too much for her.Why would they do this? They know damn well t
