Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother) Ninety three: Back To School
Abigail The bed felt unbearable to sleep on all night.I was at least glad the sun came up in the morning.I heave a sigh of relief as I get out of bed. Making a little stretch, I strengthened my bones.Mom usually likes to do it and then she'll perform some yoga.It helps in strengthening the bones, so she said.Well, I think the real thing that needs strengthening is my heart.I look at the alarm clock and it hasn't rang yet. It only showed I woke up early than usual.My eyes feel weak.I should go get ready for school.The principal emailed that we were now allowed to return to school.I wonder if it was Ricky who handled that also.Does it mean mom knows?No. I don't think so.If she does, she should have called to talk about it.Is Ricky keeping it a secret.I always know he is a good man.But what I can't seem to imagine is how he has a dumb son like Nathan?Ugh! Just spitting out his name pisses me off.Trying so hard to defend himself when the pieces are all lying there.Cla
Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother) Ninety two: Grief
Nathan's POV I stand two blocks away from the villa. Still feeling the heat from the few punches I had from the gangs.The villa is all lighted up, even from the gate.I miss my room. Lying on my soft bed, being on my phone all day.I wouldn't have come back, but I lost the money that could have been my ticket out of here.Guess I have no choice again.I should have gone back to the motel instead, but I have only few days before the payment expires.My shirt suddenly feels tight.Ricky's words replay in my head, “Come back home.”I appeared in front of the villa's gate.My face is swollen from bruises I got from the men at the garage.They just take the duffel bag and leave me with nothing.Such freaks!What do I do?I can't go in like this. And I don't have anywhere else to go.My stay in the motel expires today.I heave a sigh, not exactly relieved but somewhat depressed.I stare at the iron bar gate, thinking if it was write to go in or just return.I know what Ricky would say if
Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother) Ninety one: The Interference
POV: Nathan It was about few minutes past 2:00am.I got the duffel bag and walked to the window. Once the coast was clear, I threw the beg through the windowI hesitated to jump, thinking about my actions one last time.Is this really the way forward? What if I get caught running away? Well then, I shouldn't get caught then.For a second I thought about Abigail again.What does she think?I expected a call at least or...a message.Does she even miss me?She must probably hate me by now. If she found that warehouse, she must probably think I'm part of that operation.This feels like a nightmare. Never thought I'd have anything to fear in living my life. But this isn't a life. This is terrific.Running like a criminal. Now I wish I was a ghost, that way I could hide properly.My sins have surely come back to hunt me.They're haunting me in several ways.I feel like I'm drowning in the pool of misery.It's unbearable.I jumped out of the window at last. Landed on the bag, but slide an
Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother) Ninety: A Plan
POV: Nathan I stride back to my room in the motel.My gaze high in alert looking for signs of anyone following me.Cops usually hire civilians to track their wanted.I can't believe I'm now living my life in the shadows.I have to get out of this. It's no good if I remain hiding. I have to come out of it at some point.I have to clear my name.The motel room smells like bleach and old cigarette smoke, the kind of smell that never quite leaves the curtains no matter how many times the maids spray it. The aircon rattles like it’s about to give up, blowing cold air.I'm sitting on the edge of the bed, the mattress is sagging under me, my elbows are on my knees, my hands are clasped so tight upon them.The curtains are drawn. The door lock is on. The “Do Not Disturb” sign hangs crooked on the door handle, paper curled at the edges from the humidity.Still yet, it feels unsafe.I take a look at the cracked mirror hanging on the wall oppositeThe TV is on but muted, a news ticker scrolling
Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother) Eighty nine: The Weight of Regret
POV: NathanThe word hangs in the air between us like smoke. Pregnant.It doesn’t make sense at first. The letters don't like up.She's pregnant? My brain tries to rearrange them into something else—preparing. Pretending. Present—Anything that would fit. Anything but that.Claire's face doesn't lie. Her hands are shaking and her eyes won't maintain contact with mine for more than two seconds I stare at her. My stomach feels like it’s fallen through the floor of the booth and kept falling. A tight knot in-between.My hands are like ice. My heart isn’t beating so much as stuttering, like an engine that is failing.“Say that again,” I hear myself say. My voice comes out flat. Wrong. Like it belongs to someone else.Claire swallows. “I’m pregnant, Nathan.”The bar noise in the background fades. The low music, the clink of glasses, the guy two tables over laughing— it all gets muffled, like someone stuffed cotton in my ears. All I can hear is my own breathing, too fast, too shallow.I
Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother) Eighty eight: The Night I Can't Escape
POV: NathanI sit on the floor of my motel room with my clothes all around me. I don’t even know what I’m looking for anymore. I pull out a shirt, throw it aside, then pull another one. Nothing feels right. Nothing fits how I feel.My phone lights up again.It’s Ricky.I stare at the screen while it vibrates.He calls again.I let it ring.Then again.I let it ring too.I drop the phone on the bed and run my hands over my face. I don’t have the strength to talk to him. What am I supposed to say anyway? That I ran from the police? That my friends blamed me? That I am hiding in a cheap motel because I don’t know what to do?I breathe in slowly.I haven’t eaten since yesterday. My head hurts. My chest feels tight. Everything is a mess.And Abigail…I swallow hard. I shouldn’t think about her, but I do. I think about her more than anything else.I remember that night.When I reached the warehouse. I saw the boys arguing with Luca and… Abigail. She was there, shaking, scared, and still stu
Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother) Forty-one: Confessed Feelings
Abigail's povThe moment I step into the mansion, it feels like the walls are closing in on me.My emotions are a mess, swirling with anger, fear, and something I can't quite name. I replay the scene over and over in my mind-Nathan's taunts, Luca's fury, and my helplessness.My hands still tremble
Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother) Forty: Faceoff
Nathan's povThe tension is unbearable, and I can feel every muscle in my body tightening as I look at Luca.He's standing in front of Abigail, all high and mighty, pretending like he gives a damn about her. It's laughable. What does he think he's doing here? Playing the hero?"Is this what you've
Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother) Thirty nine: Beneath The Oak
Luca's POVThe park is quiet, except for the occasional rustle of leaves in the breeze and the distant laughter of children playing. It's peaceful here, almost like the whole world has paused to catch its breath.The sun is gentle, filtering through the high branches of the massive oak tree above,
Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother) Thirty eight: Echoes of Secrets
Abigail's POVThe door to my room slams shut behind me, and I stand there for a moment, gripping the doorknob tightly as if it might safe me. My heart is racing, and my chest feels tight.My mind feels like it's spinning in a hundred different directions at the moment.Nathan's words still ring in
