Abigail's POV

The next morning arrives too soon.

The house is filled with movement, filled with the sound of suitcases being zipped and last-minute packing.

Mom's excitement is contagious, though there's an underlying sadness in my chest that I can't shake.

She deserves this trip-she's been through so much.

And Ricky, for all his attempts to keep things balanced, seems just as eager to get away for a while.

I stand by the staircase, arms crossed, watching as they go through their final checklis

  • 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 sneaking

  • 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

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Ninety Nine: Stung

    Luca's POV Why would a bad boy like that want Abigail anyway?She's a good girl and definitely not his type. She's a nerd, but not in the same class as him. So why does he keep trying to get close to her.I can't still wrap my head around the fact that they live in the same house. It pisses me off, every time I think about it.Abigail claims her mother works there as a maid, but I've never met her mother on any of my surprise visits. It makes me suspicious.She wouldn't even let me visit unless I come unexpected. What is she hiding? I wish I could follow her home today, see how he reacts. He'd be furious I'm sure.The last time he sighted me in the mansion, he was boiling.I won't lie though, I love to see that look on his face.He might be a bully but, he is also human and has fears.I won't let him have Abigail. He doesn't deserve her. “Luca!!!” I heard my name abruptly and jerked out of my thoughts.It was the therapist. With the look on her face, she has been calling for a whil

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Ninety eight: The Painful Distance

    Nathan I gave enough distance as I walk behind her secretly.My hands were deeply into my pockets while I bow my head a little.School periods were over and she was on her way back to the car. I just want to ensure that Gajeel wasn't trailing her.She was close to the car, but then Luca stops her for a chat.I rolled my eyes.“Why do he keeps trying when she's clearly not interested?” I say, giving a frown.If not that he is on a wheelchair, I feel like going there and giving him a punch on the chin. I shouldn't.I'm the reason he is in that state anyway. If I wasn't too reckless in driving.I wonder why he hasn't reported it yet. He doesn't seem to even take it seriously, even when he knows it's me.Sometimes, I think I prefer him this way. He acts to clumsy around Abigail.Wait a sec...He's using this as a yardstick to get closer to Abigail, isn't he?I can't believe that heck!I grin while tightening my fist. But I stand still.I can't move even though I want to, because it'll o

  • 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
