Abigail's POV

I wake up to the faint light peeping through the heavy curtains, my head pounding like a drum.

My body feels stiff, my mind clouded with memories from last night.

The unfamiliarity of the room doesn't help.

Everything here-from the crisp white sheets to the elegant, oversized furniture-screams luxury, and and feels suffocating.

It doesn't feel like home. It isn't home.

Nathan's voice echoes in my head, sharp and loud.

"You've got twenty days to convince your mother to leave."

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Ninety seven: The Threat

    Nathan's POV How did he escape the police?Are Aiden and Gray also out or in the police custody?I thought I played videogame with Aiden once?He definitely is not in custody. Or could he?I'm totally confuse and the one person who can answer my question, wouldn't listen to me any longer.He thinks I caused all the trouble and got them caught.Actually, he blames me for involving Abigail in it, which I didn't.Her curiosity got her there.I rub my face hard, my eyes burning.If Gajeel needs that money, it means he certainly plans to run away.I wonder if the police are after him. I think he escaped from them, giving the way he's keeping a low profile.He was the one who introduced the rest of us to the operations of the warehouse in the first place.He has become a threat anyway and I must be cautious of him.If he can publicize a video of Abigail claiming to leave with me, then he's going to do more than just that.I should be vigilant.I try to warn Abigail that he is around the co

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Ninety six: The Warning

    Nathan's POVShe sterns leaning back against the table. Her eyes aren't exactly looking at me.She's still angry with me and she has all right to. I left her alone for days.“I came to warn you to be careful. I heard Gajeel might be in school.”She laughs sarcastically, “What does Gajeel being in school have to do with me huh?” She rants.“Keep it down. You don't want to be caught here.” I said in a low tone.“You're so unbelievable Nathan.” She snarled, pulling back from the table.“I just want you to be safe Abigail.” I said moving closer.“He's your friend isn't he? How's been around you any better?” Her angry tone just rose up, even when I advised she keeps it down.“I know you're angry with me, but please understand that whatever I did, I had to do it.”“Angry? Angry is just an understatement, I'm mad at you!” She threw her finger at my chest and push me gently.It's obvious I can't console her just yet. I should give her time I guess.She stands up to leave and then I hold her h

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Ninety five: The Post II

    Abigail's POV“You must have seen the post haven't you?” Luca snapped. His countenance looked dull.I nodded forward to reply a 'yes' and clutch tight to my phone.“Who would do such a thing?” he asked me, my face looking tense as my mind floods with the possibility of the post's effects.Nathan in it somehow makes it worse. If it was only Luca and I in that video discussing about something else, I wouldn't be as bothered as I am right now.“They're a lot of people who could do something like this Luca. I just don't know who to suspect.” I replied abruptly. “I have to go to class luca.” She added and began to walk out.“But---we're in the same class.” Luca's voice sounds faint behind me.I paced quickly, but not as quiet as I wanted to be, my shoes made clicking sounds against the tiles floor.As I enter the class, I could see the look on everyone's faces.If I haven't seen the post, I'd have said they only stared that way because I was away for awhile. But who cares?They probably st

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Ninety four: The Post

    Abigail's POVI try my best to hide my shock, but I guess I exclaimed before I realized it.He was upon a wheelchair, heading my direction.He wave at me as he got near and greeted, “hi!”“Luca---” I muttered, wondering how he got upon a wheelchair.“Abigail---Abigail!” Luca's voice snapped me out of my thought.“Oh---hi!” I wave back. I definitely didn't mean to sound excited, looking at his current condition. It was however a fake smile.And at the same time, I didn't want to look like I was pitying his condition. “What happened to you Luca?” I asked.“Uh---” he paused looking sad. “It was an accident.” He snapped.“I'm so sorry luca.” I muttered. I couldn't control my emotions. I didn't mean to show them in front of him. I know he wouldn't want to be pitied.“Come on Abigail, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. The therapist said I'll probably be back on my feet in a week or two.” He voice carries a note of fear, like he doubts it.“Oh! That's good news. Why didn't you sta

    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.

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!

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

    Abigail's RoomThe moment my boots land on the carpeted floor of her room, Abigail takes a step back, her wide eyes darting between me and the still-open window.
