View MoreNicolas' room was wide open but the words I heard next made me stop.
“F**k me daddy” “F**k me like a dirty little s**t” I instantly turned to the direction of the sound and just like I had predicted it was coming from his room. I moved closer and looked in and the scene in front of me made me halth. Nicolas was having sex with the new girl he had just met. Somehow he was able to detect that I was standing there, he turned and looked at me using his expressions to tell me to shut the door. I swallowed as I slowly grabbed the door handle and shut it. my legs instantly gave out as I slid on the door, the tears threatening to come out. The way he looked at me, he didn’t even mind if I saw him in that position, this wasn’t the first time that I would see him with a woman but why did this one have to hurt this much. Today was my day and yet all he could do was have sex with another woman instead of making the night all about me. Tessa, my mother's called from the dinning. Picking up the last piece of me left, I walked back to the garden where the party was being held. The moment my mom saw me I saw the way her eyebrows raised as she looked behind me for Nicolas Where is he? Nicolas is busy, he would join us in a few minutes. My mother looked at me,the worry laced all over her face as she tried to read my mood. Is everything okay? My eyes scanned over to my step father who stood just behind my mother. Nic will be here anytime soon, you don’t need to be worried he isn’t doing anything illegal. My words comforted my step dad and he tapped my mom's shoulders as he whispered something in her ears. They both turned to me,my mom gleaming with pride and my step father looking even better. How about we let the girl have her time, let her mingle with the guest and when your brother comes we would cut the cake. I nodded as my mom and step father walked away. My eyes scanned around our little garden that had been decorated just for me. My mom and stepdad were having a send off party to college and since I turned 20 a few days ago they decided to just celebrate it together. But unlike every other girl that had a blast, I wasn’t having a good time, I had no friends and most of the people here were friends of my stepfather and friends of Nicolas, my step brother. I have always had a secret crush on my step brother Nicolas. Our parents met after Nicolas' mom died. Though Nic wasn’t an only child, he had an elder brother Killian who is an Ex soldier. Unlike Nicolas,Killian was more withdrawn and short tempered, the only time I saw him was the one year he lived with us and even then he never said a word to me, and he made it clear to me that he hated my presence. But just a year to our arrival he left and joined the army. I knew little about him as discussions about him were always in hush voices but one the week ago I heard my mom talking about him a few times but I could care less. “Happy birthday sissy”someone whispered behind me and I knew exactly who it was. Nicolas was now dressed in a well tailored suit, and looked handsome as ever, his blonde hair was well styled to the side perfecting his face. Nic moved even closer as he kissed my cheeks and pulled away. I watched him as he walked over to his friend Landon who stood by the side with the girl he just had sex with. My heart raced more, Nic could careless about how I felt, this wasn’t the first time I had seen him with a lady, but it hurts everytime I see him. “How about we cut the cake since your favorite brother is here,” my mother teased. Everyone immediately pulled over and I cut the cake as they clapped. Nic clapped more but the whole time,he had his arms wrapped around the girl. Once the cake has been cut, everyone goes back to their activities. Nic turns to me as he brings out the bracelet from his pocket. “This is for my little sissy” he says as he tries to put the necklace around my neck but instead I feel his body go stiff. From where I stood facing the little pool just beside the garden, I could feel the tension suddenly build up in the air. It felt like something had penetrated into the air and everyone seemed to be hypnotized about it. I turned but as I did, I halted immediately as my eyes scanned over to the entrance that leads to the garden and I saw him. The man dressed in a smart casual with an Italian flair, his hair is properly styled and dark in color with just one strands pulling out from the corner. I saw the tattoos creeping up from his hands all over to his neck, the dark shade he wore made it harder for me to see his looks but as I looked over at him, it seemed like he stopped for a moment and stared at me. The silence that followed with his presence was more defeating than anything I had ever felt before. Each step he took made the tension in the air increase and as I looked over to my mom, I saw the shock on their faces. The man didn’t stop. I knew he was approaching us but as he got closer, I heard Nicolas whisper the name. Killlian. The man walks over to him and in a second he pulls Nicolas into a big hug. As Nicolas hugged him I tried to ravel my head around that name. I have heard that name before. “Son, I didn’t think you were going to come” my step dad Micheal stated beside me as he tapped his back. “Sorry, I’m late”he says gently as he takes off the shade from his eyes. My heart froze as I looked at the man standing in front of me. He was no other than my older stepbrother Killian who hated me to death.But unlike the killian I knew he looked different. I couldn’t help but stare at his ocean blue eyes. He cast me a glance as he finally turns to my direction as if he was finally acknowledging my presence. I tried to say something but the words were caught against my throat. Killian paused and looked at me for a moment, A flicker of displeasure crossed over his face.I saw the way his expression tightened, the corners of his mouth dipping. He looked at me again and for a moment I felt that wave of fear wash all over as I stared at the man towering above me. Killian signs and lets out a deep breath. “Happy birthday Tessa” he says gently.Ki..ll..Ian, you are standing too close, I breathe out my voice shaking as I try to move from the space between us.His eyes burned into mine and for a moment I wondered what it was I had seen.There was this look on his face that almost sent me ablaze,with the way he stared at me.Killian lets out a breath sliding his hands down his hair as he takes a step back.His jaw tightened “I hate being disobeyed young lady”his tone low but dangerous. He breathed out again and I saw the way he struggled to say the next words. “I wouldn’t let you off the hook easily next time, if I ask you of anything, you better comply” The fear in my heart suddenly disappeared and it’s filled with rage, the nerves he got.He thought he could just walk into my room knowing I’m half naked and then try his hard and cold demeanor on me, not working.“You don’t scare me killlan” I say calmly as I moved away from him and held my towel tightly.His face twisted, the sudden look of amusement appeared bu
I never went to see Killian in his office and when Isabel asked me about it, I totally brushed it off but not without me asking her to let me spend the week with her.Unlike every other girl I have met , she was different, smart, lovely and made her presence enjoyable.Spending the whole week with her gave me that joy I never needed and just like I had predicted Killian never called to ask me why I didn’t see him.He never sent a text to me asking me if everything was okay and somehow he didn’t mind if I spent the next three years away from him.My bags were nearly packed already and I stood outside Isabel’s house as I waited for Nic to arrive.After a long stressful week, I was lecture free from the weekend and my parents were hosting a gala and I knew I would attend.Nic had already told me he was personally going to come pick up and so I texted him Isabel address while I stood out waiting for him.When I saw the familiar car drive in I pushed my head out of the building as
“The decision is final Tessa, I don’t get it, why is it so hard for you to live with him?” my mom's voice cuts sharply from the other end of the phone and I let out a deep breath as I slowly slide my hands on my hair.Mom, I need a fucking apartment, I don’t want to spend one more day with killlan.I don’t get why you can’t hire an apartment out of school for me, it’s not like we are broke or anything.Maybe when your dad sends money for your education then you can consider spending lavishly but for now , your step dad is the one funding all of it and I don’t think I’m going to sit back and watch him waste that amount of money.Killian might be cold and distant but I know he wouldn’t bother you, stop being a brat and never use curse words when talking to me again.Remember your step dad is having a gala for the company and you are expected to be there, whatever beef you have with your brother ends before you come home.The call ended almost immediately and for the first time I wa
“Put me down now” I yelled at Killian as I struggled to get down from his legs.But the more I screamed, the more his grip on me tightened.He didn’t take the route I passed through while coming but instead he took a different direction.I could see his car pack at the far end of the garage, he put me inside the car ignoring my plea and then shut the door not after putting the seat belt around me.My eyes immediately scanned over as I watched him walk to the other side of the car.The moment he gets in he drives off.As I sat there I could feel the drinks begin to have its high effect on me and that wildness that I had been holding all this time was threatening to come out at this point.My hands slowly reached for the seat belt and I removed it.Killian immediately turns to look at me as the displeased look washed all over his face. “Stop the car Killian, stop the goddamn car and let me out” I yelled at him.You’re drunk, Tessa, he snapped, his eyes fixed on the road.
