Vera's POV

I stood there, shocked, my mouth slightly open. A guy stood in the middle of the room, towel in hand, rubbing it into his wet hair. An amused smile sat on his lips, like he was holding back a laugh. His chest was bare, small drops of water still sliding down his skin.

It was Kingsley, Queen's brother.

Seeing him now reminded me that she even had one.

"Hey, Vera." He lifted a hand in a quick wave.

"Hi, Kingsley." I waved back, my voice still a little shaky.

"I asked you a question." Q

  • One Night With My Stepbrother    Chapter 168 - Note On The Table

    Liam's POVI had gone to Andrea's place because he was not picking my calls or answering my messages, but he was not home. Now I stood in front of the door of the only person who could calm my raging heart.Knock. Knock.It was my second time knocking, and still there was no answer."Vera, it's me."I waited a few minutes. Nothing. I turned to walk away, but different thoughts began to run through my head, each one worse than the last. What if she had lost consciousness? What if she had hurt herself? What if...I pushed the door open. My eyes swept across her room, and it was empty. I walked in and checked her bathroom, pushing that door open too."She isn't here," I whispered.My eyes moved around the room. Most of her things were still in place, but a sheet of paper on the table caught my eye, and the card my dad had given her lay on top of it. My legs carried me to the table. I picked up the card first, then opened the paper, and my eyes ran across the words.‘I will be gone, so y

  • One Night With My Stepbrother    Chapter 167 - Make This Better

    Vera's POVIt had been two days, and every one of them felt like hell. Liam had come to my room once and cried in my arms before he left. My phone had stayed switched off since then, because I could not stand the pressure of the messages piling up.My feet touched the cold floor as I got down from the bed. "I should go out," I whispered.I opened my door and closed it softly behind me. The hallway was quiet, and I took small steps until I stood in front of Liam's door. My hand rose to knock, then stopped halfway in the air."Should I knock?" I asked myself in a low voice.I shook my head and stepped back. "He might be busy." I gave myself the excuse and forced a smile onto my face. "I should get something sweet to eat instead."My legs started to move, but I stopped again and looked back. My heart pounded, and my stomach twisted with how uncomfortable I felt. "I am not the only one suffering," I said. "I should not be afraid to see him."I walked back to his door and pushed it open.

  • One Night With My Stepbrother    Chapter 166 - Blood on My Fingers

    Vera's POV"The public must not hear about this.""I made sure every video was deleted, and I made the students shut their mouths.""Principal Cole called me earlier to say some parents have already gotten wind of it, and they are questioning the school.""It will be handled, Alyssa. Don't worry."The voices pulled me out of the dark like a hand reaching into deep water. Only one question sat in my head. ‘What are they talking about?’My eyes fluttered open slowly. My mum and Paul stood in front of my closet, their heads close together as they spoke in low voices."Do you think they will really keep their mouths shut and let this die down?" My mum's voice shook with fear."Something new just has to happen to pull their attention away from this one." Paul raised his hand and rubbed his jaw. "Liam and Vera should stay away from school for now, until I get everything under control."‘Why would I stay away from school?’ I stared at them, confused. I wanted to ask, but my lips felt so heav

    Liam's POV"Good, you catch on real fast." Peter's hand rested on my shoulder, and his smile stayed wide. "I did not know you would follow your mum's steps so quickly."My chest burned, and my hand shook so hard I could feel it down to my fingers. "What the hell did you say?""You should cry right now. Dear daddy will be so pissed." A loud laugh left his mouth.Heat rushed to my face. My fist rose before my mind could stop it, and it landed on the right side of his face with a crack. "You damn piece of shit." I grabbed his collar and slammed my head into his nose, and he stumbled back.His hand flew to his nose, and his eyes widened when he saw the blood running down it. He wiped it with his sleeve and raised his fists. "You just messed with the wrong guy.""I should be the one saying that to you.""Fight! Fight! Fight!" Some students began to chant, and the sound bounced off the locker walls.Peter twisted his neck from side to side and ran at me, aiming straight for my face. I stepp

  • One Night With My Stepbrother    Chapter 164 - Exposed

    Liam's POVI twirled the small glass of wine before taking a gulp."As strong as ever," I said, scrunching my face.I reached for the bottle and poured another glass, but just as I was about to drink it, the door opened.Vera's head poked through the gap, and a wide smile spread across her face the moment her eyes landed on me."You have alcohol in your hand," she said as the door closed behind her."Yeah." I downed the drink and set the glass in the locker.Vera stopped in front of me. "I want one too."I looked at her for a few seconds, and she responded with a blink and a pout."Fine." I let out a low groan and poured the wine into the glass before handing it to her.She took it and brought it to her mouth."Go easy on it," I warned.She tipped her head back and finished the glass in one go. She tried not to squeeze her face, then she wiped her mouth and handed the glass back to me."It's strong.""Yeah, it's fifty percent alcohol."Her brows rose. "Are you even allowed to drink th

    Vera's POV My phone buzzed in my hand, and I read the message Anita had just sent. [Guess what?] I smiled a little and typed back. [You broke up with your fuck buddy [Wrong.] I was about to type again when someone patted my shoulder. I turned my head, and my eyes went wide at once. "Anita!" A smile spread across my face before I could stop it. "Hey, bestie." She hooked her arm around mine and leaned close. "Did I surprise you?" "You totally did." "I am glad. I have been waiting to see you walk through that door." "Ohh." I nodded slowly, still trying to understand. "But what are you doing here?" Her brows pulled together. "To watch the game, dummy." "Uhh?" I stared at her, confused, and then I remembered the girls in the hallway. ‘The Jefferson boys.’ My eyes moved across the crowd, and some of the faces were familiar. They were people from my old school. "So it's my old school against my new school?" "Exactly." She looked me up and down and lifted one hand in the air. "D
