Eliana's POV

"Do you think we're rushing this?" I ask softly, my voice barely above a whisper.

I'm seated on the edge of the bed, fumbling my fingers as the events of the dinner replay in my mind.

Abigail's outburst, Nathan's cruel remarks-it all felt like watching two storms clash, leaving anger in their wake.

I can still hear Abigail's sharp words, the way Nathan's face twisted in anger, and the underlying tension that occured between them.

It's hard to shake the feeling that no matter how m

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   105: Raveling Mind

    Nathan's POV I sat behind the steering wheel with the engine turned off, staring through the windshield at the school building.Students were everywhere.Some were walking across the parking lot in groups, laughing like they didn't have a care in the world. Others stood near the entrance, talking in low voices before rushing off to class. Every now and then, someone would glance toward my car, recognize me, and quickly look away.I didn't need to hear what they were saying.I already knew.Gossip.That was the reason I wasn't in class today.I couldn't deal with it.I couldn't sit there while everyone whispered behind their hands and pretended they weren't talking about me. I couldn't listen to people twist every little thing into something it wasn't. And honestly, I didn't trust myself not to lose my temper.So I skipped class.Not because I was afraid.At least, that's what I kept telling myself.I was just tired.Tired of people.Tired of explanations.Tired of everyone acting lik

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   104: Spoiled Reunion

    Nathan's POV Of course she'll be mad. I expected her to. And I do understand why too.Abigail.Bringing this to her at such a time could be a lot. She couldn't stop ranting. She wouldn't even let me explain at first. She even blames me first when she heard Claire had been pregnant. I got a hard slap even.I didn't retaliate, for I know she was finally letting out the grudge she had been suppressing. We're seated at the cafeteria, where we're having our meals.Well sat on the same table which was weird, because we all didn't relate. However, because of one subject, we found ourselves here.She grabbed my shirt by its collar from across the table and began pulling me back and forth.Claire had to intervene, confessing that I had nothing to do with it, before she was willing to let go.She asked me to explain from the start.I heaved a sigh of relief afterward. Explaining from the start will be a really difficult task, I can only say we need to take down Gejeel. My voice waslow to avo

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   103: Caught In The Secret Room

    Nathan's POV Claire was already waiting for me before I got in. It was a quite secretive location since it's not popular even in the school. As I walked to her, my heart shakes. What was so urgent that she needed to tell me?Where would this conversation lead to? I wonder.The look on her face like something is wrong baffles me.“Look Claire, I'm sorry okay? I know I've put you in a lot of stress and I'm ready to take full responsibility for my actions. Just tell me what is wrong?” I said to give her hope in case she was losing hers. I'm being serious anyway, besides, what choice do I have?“The pregnancy is not yours Nathan.” She snapped, biting her lips like she made a mistake with her words.“What did you just say...” I questioned, moving a bit closer, to hear her properly.“I lied about my pregnancy being yours Nathan.” She confessed, avoiding eye contact.I was shocked to hear that. I should be excited to hear that confession, but it feels too unreal to me.I swallowed, observin

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   102: Missed Trail

    Lucas' POV I expected that she'd be more excited for me, but she doesn't look excited at all. Although, she mentioned the words, “I'm glad you're back on your feet Luca.” I squint at her to read through her eyes. Something is definitely bothering her. And that's why I'm the least of her concern.I don't know if I should ask her. Will she even tell me? She's used to keeping things a secret until she's pressured to tell. I'm her friend, she should tell me about it at least. “Uh---” I muttered, trying to keep up the conversation, but then she walked out on me.I gulped, speechless and confused at the same time. I haven't even gotten to the part where I ask her out for prom yet. I wonder why she wouldn't tell me about it? I thought I've provided her the soft spot to tell me anything. I guess she still needs time. I turn around and then I saw him... Nathan. He's back? How could he be back now? I thought he had given up ever coming to school? I thought that's the purpose of him s

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Hundred One: Hard To Say

    Abigail's POV I'm probably used to opening my door and seeing him in front of it. But not with a uniform on and definitely not beckoning to go to school together. What is he up to? Using me as a cover-up? All the workers are on a sudden break? Is there a holiday or something? I heaved a sigh of relief. It's part of Nathan's plan isn't it? Whatever he plans to do, well he better leaves me out of it. I don't want to be part of anymore of his devious activities. I go and stand beside the car and crossed my arms while waiting for Nathan. He walks out shortly and reaches the car in no time. His sudden detestable countenance only reveals that he hated the car. I had chosen that car for that reason. It pleases me to see that awful look on his face. How my heart is filled with content. “Why not we use a fancy car instead?” He suggested, his eyes did stop staring awfully at the car as if it was covered with poop. “No. I want us to use this car.” I said, still posing a mea

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Hundred: Heartfelt

    Nathan's POVI can barely breathe right now. I'm suffocating in my room and there's no that can see it.I should have ran when I had the chance and return when the heat was all over. But those idiots rip me off my money. Now I have nothing and owe everything.What do I do now? I ask myself.How do I get Gajeel the money in four days? How do I tell Claire to abort the baby without making it sound vulgar? I'm afraid she might tell someone close to her about it.How do I admit to Abigail that I still love her and I'm keeping all these a secret from her not to involve her in the mess I've created.Do I go back to the garage and steal the money? I don't even know how to find my way there.Do I buy the abortion pill myself and hand it over to Claire? No, that'll be like forcing the decision on her.I should probably ask her what she'd like to do first?And as for Abigail. It's best I leave her in he dark for a while. Until I'm able to fix this mess.I regret this mess I've made. It has cre
