*********************
David woke up with a buzz alert from his phone, he turned and looked at me then, I just pretended that I was still sleeping. When he turned back I slightly opened my eyes again then it happened……. He quickly unlocked his phone without looking back at me, he held the screen up, it was a group chat titled …..
“Forestwood Challenge”
It's a group chat with his colleges friends
Mark and Ralph
I couldn't see everything clearly but the last two I saw it was crystal clear
Mark: “Dude are you going to send us the proof or what?
Ralph: “Did you actually get her to cave?? Are you sure, tell us Dave ....”
David: typing………Trust me I've never lost a bet before “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” I've finally taken her V-card. She's mine now. Now you both should pay up
**********************
My heart didn't just drop…… but it imploded.
I felt the blood drain from my heart, the delicious unforgettable sensual ache in my body instantly transforming into paralyzed cold. The quiet tenderness of the morning shattered and the walls of the room felt quacking.
“ Wha……what is this?” I managed, the sound barely a whisper
David was startled; he didn't realise I've been watching him all along. He finally looked at me , a smirk replacing the blackness. He turned back to the old David that I despised, arrogant, cruel, and completely unbearable
“A bet, Maldie” he said with a cold,flat and detached voice, a stark contrast to the breathless devotion he’d shown me just hours ago had disappeared. He swung his legs out of the bed, grabbing his shorts and singlet from the floor with complete cold and dark differences.
“Maldie, Maldie, Maldie” he laughed devilishly as he called me thrice. “Wait baby girl you thought two years of me ignoring you was because I secretly “Wanted” you? Hahahaha funny right???……No baby you're nothing but a pathetic whore and a gold digger. We both needed to feel something or rather let me say you needed to feel something, but for me it was just about winning”
He paused, pulling his clothes back, and then back to me…..“Congratulations though, you were the easiest $1,000 I've ever made”.......
The shock was a physical blow, making my heart bleed blood, knocking the air out of my lungs. I reached for the sheet, clutching it to my chest, not for modesty, but as a desperate attempt not to cry but to hold myself together. But I couldn't, I tried to hold it in ,but it was hard I started letting it out
“But you lied” I whispered “You said you wanted me, you said you loved me, David you said you couldn't hold it in again that you wanted me”
“Why did you do this to me, David, you took my virginity out of a bet, Tell me you're lying” I keep yelling with my tearing eyes………
********************
He turned back, his expression hardened into a mask of the distant step-brother …“ I said a lot of things. You were so easy to convince. “I want you inside me Dave…” He mimicked my breathless voice from last night. He laughed again with a cold,short and nasty sound. “ You practically begged. And you know what the best part is. Now you can go back to telling Mary and your mother how much you “HATE”....me
He walked to the door, his victory absolute.
“Don't worry “Step-sister"..He laughed, his hand on the knob … “your gold digger mum will soon be back to take care of her pathetic and whore daughter”.....
He was gone. Leaving me in the ruined silence, surrounded by the scent of him and the devastating realization that the most honest, secure moment of my life had actually been the most elaborate and cruel lie.
***************************
For a full minute, I didn't move, the silent,David left was the loudest sound I had ever heard, it screamed with his betrayal, and with my own foolish and stupid hope and with the sickening realization that my honest and secure moment was nothing but just
“A joke” and “A Transaction”....... A thousand dollars.
I pressed my palms hard against my eyes trying to claw back the images of last night, his hand tracing my waist, the soft declaration of “FINALLY” the hungry kissing. Every beautiful memory was instantly corrupted, dripping poison. He hadn't just used my body; he had weaponized my deepest, most vulnerable feelings against me.
“You practically begged I want you inside of me Daveee.”
His mimicking voice echoed in the room, chasing away the last vestiges of warmth. My trembling wasn’t due to lingering passion now; it was due to rising, incandescent rage.
All that was drooling through me was the hatred
I have for him. I was full of regret. I was causing myself. Isn't this the same David that despised me? What made me think he'll love me or like me. I remembered two years ago when I first stepped my foot in his house
TWO YEARS AGO…………………
I came back from school early that day because my scholarship was terminated for no reason that day in school. I stood in front of the locked gate of my prestigious Academy, the rain beginning to soak through my uniform……in my hands the crumpled letter felt like a death warrant
“SCHOLARSHIP TERMINATED. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY”
No explanation, No reason, just like that I felt a cold spine down my body. “NO” I had worked hard for this,
I worked myself to the bone, survived on four hours of no sleep for years just to be the best. And in a single heartbeat all my tickets out of poverty are shredded.
Some student were laughing making fun of me
A girl: “She thinks she can survive here. She thought it was a school for a low class like her…….Everyone started laughing…..
I walked home, my shoes ripping, my heart had a heavy weight to my chest. When I reached our tiny cramped apartment. I didn't have the chance to cry, the door was wide open. Men in dark suits were crying out on our sofa and properties………..
“Mom I screamed”........rushing inside
I found her in the kitchen, her face looking pale
Her hands were shaking as she pulled a stack of eviction notices……My mother Susan had always been a warrior, but today, she looked defeated……The small catering business she’d poured our life savings into had gone under. We weren't just poor anymore—we were about to be homeless.
"Maldie," she sobbed, pulling me into her arms. "I’m so sorry. I tried. I tried so hard."
That was the night I realized that hard work was a lie. We were drowning, and there was no one to pull us out.

Step Brother: I'll be your Regret Chapter 0016
(MALDIE POV)The morning air felt like lead. Ten years. Ten years since the bridge, the water, and the silence that followed. I sat on the edge of the bed, clutching the locket—the empty, bugged locket—and stared at the wall. My father’s birthday. The anniversary of his death. To the world, it was a tragedy. To me, it was the day the lights went out.I expected silence. I expected a day of mourning. Instead, I found a circus.When I walked downstairs, the mansion was buzzing. Caterers were scurrying through the halls with silver trays. Huge floral arrangements—lilies, his favorite, but arranged in a way that looked corporate and cold—lined the foyer."What is all this?" I asked, my voice sounding small against the clinking of crystal.Richard appeared, looking sharp in a bespoke suit. He smiled, that practiced, fatherly beam that now made my skin crawl. "Maldie! You’re finally up. It’s a big day. A celebration of life for your father. I’ve invited the board, the press, and the local e
Step Brother: I'll be your Regret Chapter 0015
(MALDIE POV)The archive basement felt like a tomb. The air was thick with the scent of decaying paper and the cold, metallic tang of the ventilation system. My heart was a frantic bird trapped in my ribs, drumming against my chest as I scrambled deeper into the stacks. "Maldie, slow down," I whispered to myself, my breath hitching. I ignored the shadows dancing between the shelves. I had to find it. Row 42 was a blur of gray metal and cardboard boxes until I saw the label: ACCIDENT REPORTS – 2016.I yanked a heavy, dust-caked folder from the shelf. My hands shook so violently the papers nearly spilled onto the floor. "Come on, come on," I hissed, flipping through the pages.Case File: 774-B. Deceased: Elias Sams. Location: Forestwood Bridge.I found the initial report. My eyes skimmed the familiar details—the weather conditions, the time of impact, the description of my father’s car. But then I turned the page to the section labeled Involved Vehicles/Third Party Evidence.My blood
Step Brother: I'll be your Regret Chapter 0014
(MALDIE POV)***********************************The fluorescent lights of the Forestwood Academy cafeteria hummed with a predatory energy. I sat at a corner table, my fingers tracing the scarred wood, trying to keep my breathing steady. After the morning I’d had with Richard, the school was supposed to be a reprieve. It wasn't."Oh, look, the charity case is hungry," a voice drawled.I didn't have to look up to know it was Olive. She stood over me, flanked by her usual entourage of girls who smelled like expensive perfume and elitism. Olive reached down and snatched my brown paper bag—the meager lunch I’d packed myself because I didn't trust the staff at the mansion."Give it back, Olive," I said, my voice tight."This?" She held the bag up between two manicured fingers as if it were a biohazard. "Maldie, honey, you live in that massive hand-me-down mansion now. Surely Richard provides better than... What is this? A peanut butter sandwich?""It’s none of your business. Give it to me.
Step Brother: I'll be your Regret Chapter 0013
(MALDIE POV)***********************************I didn’t sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw that tiny, unblinking glass lens hidden in the vent. My skin felt like it was crawling with invisible ants. When the sun finally started bleeding through the curtains of the estate, I dragged myself out of bed, my head throbbing. I had to look normal. If Richard was watching….and I knew now that he was………I couldn't let him see the terror.I walked into the dining room, my footsteps echoing on the marble. Richard was already there, sitting at the head of the table, reading the morning paper. He looked up, and for a second, I flinched, but he just beamed at me."Good morning, Maldie. You look a bit pale, sweetheart. Did you sleep well?""I'm fine, Richard," I lied, my voice cracking. "Just a headache."He stood up, but not to pull out my chair. He gestured to the spread of food. "Sit, eat. You need your strength. Actually, I have something that might make you feel better."He reached into
Step Brother: I'll be your Regret Chapter 0012
(MALDIE POV)*************************************I barely managed to slip through the side entrance of the estate, my lungs burning from the sprint through the fog………… The silver key was still biting into the palm of my hand, a cold reminder of the vault and the nightmare I’d just escaped……. I just needed to get to my room…….I needed to lock the door and breathe.But the house wasn't empty.A hand, thick and calloused, shot out from the darkness of the West Wing corridor. It clamped around my throat…………not squeezing, but firm enough to kill my scream before it could leave my lips…... "Going somewhere, Maldie?"David. He didn't wait for an answer….. He hauled me backward, his fingers digging into the silk of my sleeves as he dragged me deeper into the shadows, far from the light of the main foyer. He moved with a predatory silence that made my skin crawl and tingle all at once. "David, let go! You’re hurting me!" I hissed, clawing at his forearm………... It was like trying to scratch
Step Brother: I'll be your Regret Chapter 0011
(MALDIE POV)***************************The fog was a thick, wet blanket over the pier……I could barely see my own feet as I hurried toward the old boathouse. My heart was thumping against my ribs like a trapped bird. The note had promised the truth about my father, and I wasn't going to miss it for anything.I reached the heavy wooden door and pushed……. It creaked loudly."You're late, Maldie….."The voice didn't come from a stranger……. It was deep, smooth, and instantly recognizable. I stepped inside and squinted through the gloom……. He was there, sitting in a plush leather chair that looked far too expensive for this rotting shack………"Julian?" I gasped, slamming the door behind me to keep out the chill. "You sent the note? Why the mystery?""Because mystery gets your attention," he said. He didn't get up………He just sat there, the light from a single lantern carving out the sharp lines of his jaw. "And right now, I want all of it.""I thought this was about my father's files," I said
