Abigail's POV

The day of the dance arrives faster than I expect, and with it comes a tangle of emotions I can't quite sort through.

My room is a mess of scattered shoes, makeup, and rejected outfits, and yet I still haven't decided what to wear.

The pale blue dress hanging on my closet door seems like the best choice, but I can't bring myself to put it on.

Nathan's words from the night before replay in my head on an endless loop:

You'll regret this.

I don't know why his warning bothers me so much.

It shouldn't.

Luca is kind, charming, and easy to be around.

A part of me wonders if Nathan's outburst was nothing more than his usual brand of arrogance.

But another part-the part I try to ignore-questions if there's more to it than that.

I shake my head and glance at the clock.

Time is slipping away, and I need to focus.

With a deep breath, I grab the blue dress and slip it on.

The fabric is soft and flows easily around me, the neckline modest but flattering.

I twirl in front of the

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Sixty six: Secrets At The Door

    Aiden's POVI stand frozen in the doorway, staring at them.It's my dad, but he's not alone.Beside him is a boy about my age, maybe a little older, and he's holding my dad's hand. Not in a casual way, either-it's deliberate, close, like something a couple would do.The boy looks like he belongs in a magazine ad.His dark hair is slicked back, but a few strands fall loose over his forehead in a way that seems intentional.His leather jacket is just slightly too big for his frame, giving him a cool, effortless vibe that immediately makes me feel like I'm underdressed just standing here in my hoodie.I know my dad's dating guys now-I've known for a while. But this? This is...something else.I stare at them, my chest tightening with a knot of confusion and embarrassment.My dad's sharp eyes narrow at me."What's wrong with you? Why are you just standing there like that?" he snaps. "Move over."The irritation in his voice jolts me, and I quickly step aside, letting them into the house. Th

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Sixty five: Line Crossed

    Nathan's POVShe hadn't stayed long-barely enough time to create her usual kind of drama before vanishing as quickly as she came."Finally! So, what's the story? What happened? Don't hold out on me, Nathan," he says, his words tumbling out like he's been holding them in all night.I smirk faintly, staring at the empty street in front of me. "Calm down, Aiden.""Calm down? You've been acting all mysterious, sneaking a girl into your house, and now you're telling me to calm down?" he says, his tone full of exaggerated outrage."You'll get the details tomorrow," I reply, keeping my tone cool."Tomorrow?" Aiden groans loudly into the phone. "Why not now? You're killing me here." "Because I have more important things to deal with right now," I say, my tone sharpening slightly."More important than giving me the play-by-play? Unbelievable." Aiden's words are dripping with mock offense, but there's a curiosity underneath it that he can't hide."Like making sure Abigail doesn't open her mout

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Sixty four: A Mother's Comfort

    Abigail's POVI close my door softly behind me and lean against it, my head spinning from everything that's happened tonight.The crash of the vase, Nathan's smirk, the girl's cruel words-it's all swirling together in my mind.For a moment, I consider going straight to bed, pulling the covers over my head, and pretending none of it happened.But my chest feels tight, and my eyes sting with unshed tears. I can't keep it all bottled up.I push off the door and make my way down the dim hallway, my bare feet padding softly against the wooden floor.I don't even think about where I'm going until I'm standing outside my mom's bedroom.The door is closed, and I can hear the faint hum of her voice inside, probably talking to Ricky.My hand hovers over the doorknob, the urge to go inside and cry into her shoulder almost overwhelming.She'd know what to say. She'd make everything feel okay again.But I hesitate.What am I even going to tell her? That Nathan snuck a girl into the house? That the

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Sixty three: Games Within Games

    Nathan's POVThe moment my parents disappear down the stairs, the atmosphere shifts entirely.Abigail is standing there, frozen, her fists clenched so tightly at her sides that her knuckles are turning white.She looks like she's about to explode, her wide eyes darting between me and the curtains where the girl is hidden.Her mouth opens slightly like she wants to say something, but no words come out.Before she can figure out what to do, the curtains rustle, and the girl steps out.She brushes her hair over her shoulder in one smooth, practiced motion, her smirk firmly in place as her eyes land on Abigail."Well, that was fun," the girl says, her voice laced with sarcasm. "You sure know how to keep things interesting, Nathan."Ignoring her, I glance at Abigail, whose face has turned an impressive shade of red.It's hard to tell if it's from embarrassment or anger, but either way, it's amusing.The girl doesn't wait for me to respond.She steps closer, as she grabs the front of my shi

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Sixty two: A Dangerous Game

    Abigail's POVAfter what felt like minutes filled with pain, I decide to walk away.I don't notice when my dress clashes with the vase just outside the room.My heart beats fast in my chest as I stare at the shattered vase on the floor.The sound of it breaking echoes in my ears, blending with the rising panic swirling in my head. The pieces are scattered everywhere."What was that?" Nathan's sharp voice cuts through the air, his tone full of irritation and suspicion.I freeze, unable to breathe, as I hear the heavy thud of his footsteps approaching the door.My stomach twists painfully, and before I can think of what to do, the door swings open.Nathan steps into the hallway, his dark eyes locking onto mine immediately.His expression is cold, his jaw tight as he takes in the mess on the floor. I brace myself for him to say something, to yell at me, but he doesn't.He just stares.His silence is worse than anything he could have said.I feel like I've been caught red-handed, even tho

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Sixty one: Whispers In The Dark

    Abigail's POVRicky is in the middle of telling some story about his time in college, and Mom is practically doubled over with laughter. Normally, I'd be laughing too, letting the moment ease the tension of the day.But my attention keeps drifting.Out of the corner of my eye, I see Nathan pull out his phone.His shoulders are relaxed at first, but as he reads whatever is on the screen, his entire demeanor shifts.The casual slouch disappears, replaced by a tension. His jaw tightens, his brows drawing together, and for a brief moment, I catch something in his expression. I try to look away, to ignore the moment and give him his privacy, but it's impossible to shake the image of his clenched fist and the subtle furrow in his brow.He locks his phone, shoving it into his pocket with a force that makes the action seem almost aggressive."I'll be right back," he mutters, barely audible over the conversation at the table.He pushes his chair back abruptly, and without waiting for anyone
