My Stepson;My Lover Chapter 97
~NiveaI was dreading going to see Leonora. I called her a few times but she was with Steve for the weekend, so I had to wait till she was home and alone before I could talk to her. She texted me today, saying she was free.I reluctantly started getting ready to leave. I dragged my feet to the bathroom to shower, then I stood in front of my closet staring at my clothes. What outfit should I wear that would go with the theme for today, 'going to be friendless soon’?I didn't have the strength to do anything to my face. I haven't been sleeping well as I have been having terrible nightmares lately. It was either I ended up dead or Zane did and funny enough I was more scared for Zane’s life than mine. I had kind of accepted that something bad was going to happen to me before this ended.Zane noticed something was wrong every time we spoke, so I had to lie to him every time we video-called that it was all right. He pointed out my eye bags one day and since then, I have been using makeup t

~NiveaI woke up and the car was still moving. This time my hands and legs were tied. Looking out the window, I couldn't see a single building, just tall trees. I couldn’t recognize this place.“Where are we?” I asked, my voice hoarse. “I need water,” I eyed the water bottle in the brown head guy’s hand. “Please…”, I pleaded, coughing so hard.Whatever they put in that cloth was too harsh and it affected my throat because I was screaming into it before I passed out.He shrugged and passed me the water. “Better drink enough because when we get to where we are going, there’s no niceness,” I quickly opened it and greedily drank from the bottle, and then I poured the rest on my face.I looked at the rope binding my hands carefully. I needed to find a way to undo them, so probably when I was all alone, I could find a way to escape. I spotted my phone lying on the floor close to the door but I needed a distraction to pick it up without them noticing.“How much do you want? I’ll double what

~ZaneThe color drained out of her face, “What?” she screamed. “That’s not possible,” tears welled up in her eyes instantly. “How did that happen? I just saw her enter a car and I thought you were the one who came to pick her up,” Max retreated, giving us the privacy we needed, and shut the door behind him.My problem was why she would enter a strange car freely without informing me first. Something didn’t add up.“That was clearly not me. She just called me a few minutes ago and I heard her struggling in the background before I was cut short. What type of car did she go in?” I rushed out.“A Range Rover Sport I think,” she hiccuped.“Oh God,” she sat on her bed, tears streaming down her face already. “Who would want to do that to her?’ Her hands covered her mouth.“My father," I muttered.“Why would he do that?” her face contorted with confusion, her forehead creased with frown lines. “She probably didn’t tell you the full gist but he is very dangerous. I need to leave now, we need

~ZaneI paced the room, breathing hard, “They searched her and probably left it here,”I couldn't lose her.“How about the plate numbers you were tracking?” I asked Steve. “Smart ass, they changed cars, and we don’t know the current car’s plate number they are driving with so we can’t track them,”“Shit!” I pulled at my hair.“I’ll alert the police and see if the private investigator has found anything on her yet,” he muttered and hung up.We were back to square one. This was just a dead end. I couldn't keep lying around doing nothing while she was still missing. I kicked off the papers lying on my feet and it went flying and that was when I saw something red.I walked over and picked up the stained paper, it smelled like blood. Oh no! This only means that she was hurt. I stared closer at it, it looked like a drawing but I couldn't figure it out yet. I looked closer at it, it looked like a boat, and then it clicked. They were taking her to a port my father had. But he hardly used it

~ZaneI woke up in the hospital. I could hear voices, more like whispers, that sounded like they didn’t want to wake me up. I tried opening my eyes but it felt so heavy, so I pushed myself, fluttering my eyes open and the lights attacked me. I groaned in pain and quickly closed it back.“He is awake!” I heard Leonora’s voice, and the light became dimmer. “Water,” I croaked. My throat was so parched, I needed water badly. I turned to the side and saw my beautiful Nivea. She held up a glass of water to me, a straw in it. I sipped it greedily.“How long have I been out for?” I asked.“Just a week,” Nivea said in a low voice, as she sat on the chair close to me.“A week!”, I shot up but there were different machines attached to my body so I couldn't sit up fully.“Slow down Zane,” she warned.“What about the case? Was Thomas caught?” he couldn’t have escaped after all the work I and Steve put into getting the evidence.“We moved the hearing till when you have fully recovered,” She strai

~NiveaI froze on the spot as my head reeled in what she just said. “Oh, I've got something even better,” she gushed. “You were having an affair with your husband's son, and that’s how you all ended up together. What a perfect soap opera that would be, bye," she chuckled and waved, walking away.She came here just to plant these things in my head and now her mission was accomplished because it stuck. I tried my hardest to keep up the good mood, but Zane noticed and asked what was wrong. I lied and said I was just too tired.He immediately called the driver, we said goodbye to everybody and left. We were supposed to go to the after party but he didn’t want to leave me all alone. And this was why I wanted to end this. So I wouldn't stop him from having fun and experiencing life. I didn't want to be a burden to him, so I made up my mind.On our way home, I couldn't hide it anymore. My mood was off, and my expression was screaming sadness“I know you aren’t tired, so spit it out. Did Fi

~NiveaI shook that thought out of my head. No. He couldn't do that to me. I paused. Or could he? She came again this time, and I shook my head that I wasn’t ready yet but she looked at me sadly, “My boss is literally going to kick you out if you don’t order anything,” she said bluntly.“But I am waiting for someone,” I groaned. Repeating this was getting tiring.“Girl, we both know your date is not going to show up, so you either have a wonderful meal or you leave. We need more free tables,” she gave me an intense look.I couldn't leave now, that would be so embarrassing, so I decided to just place an order. I was starting to get hungry anyways. I settled for their chicken pasta and more wine. I needed alcohol in my system to go through this. It didn’t help that I was the only single person here, the rest were all couples and they weren’t scared of going all full on PDA here.By the time I was done and had finished two bottles of wine, I accepted that it was over between us, not t
My Stepson;My Lover Chapter 1
~NiveaI stomped my feet at the entrance of the house to throw off the mud that had gathered in the sole of my worn-out Nikes. It was barely eight in the morning and I was already so tired from working the midnight 6-hour shift at the luxury bar I was lucky to get a job at. "I'm home!" I called as I entered into the living room to find my Dad seated on his favorite seat, a newspaper clenched in his right hand, but he didn't seem to be focusing on its content, rather his gaze was staring far at the wall, lost in thoughts. Was Dad worrying again? It wasn't good for his health."Oh Nivea, you are back. How was work at the bar today?" My stepmother, Stella, asked as she came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands with a discolored kitchen rag. "It went well," Dropping my voice into a whisper, I sidled closer to her and asked, "Did anything happen again? Why is Dad like that? Hope it's not about Nova?" I asked, my eyes widening in panic. "No no," Stella quickly appeased, seeing the pan
