Stepbrother, I Have A Secret Chapter 36: Same Eyes
SIX YEARS LATERThe world won’t stop revolving for you or for everyone. Whether we like it or not, we have to adapt to the wheel of time for it doesn’t wait nor adjust for anyone. Everything happens for a reason, that’s for sure. And every change means a new beginning, a fresh start to claim.“Mommy, you’re here!” A sweet tiny voice of a girl welcomed me as soon as I opened the door.I completely entered myself inside the house to meet my ever lovely daughter with those pretty turquoise doe eyes that she totally got from her father’s genes. There’s no doubt about it. She may look like the mini version of me but her eyes will always be the highlight of her facial features. I’m honestly afraid they could never go unnoticed.“How’s my Adriana?” despite my aching muscles, I immediately ran towards her with open arms. She was giggling cutely as she threw her little body to me. She’s too short for a six years old kid, I must tell. Also, a bit skinny too but I have no problem with any of th

"Really, baby? Where is he?'" I asked, trying to hide the shakiness of my voice. She pouted a bit. "Well, he left already. He seemed in a hurry though."I blinked as I managed to nod my head slowly. She giggled and ran toward the claw machine to show her teddy bear to other kids who were also there to play.“Could it be?” Lancer uttered on my side. I could feel him gazing at me but I kept my head straight to where Ria was.“There’s a big possibility that the man she was talking about was him.” Hailee seconded. I cupped my face as I shook my head, looking so problematic. I could feel their sympathy towards me but that’s less of what I need right now. The moment I saw how Adriana’s face was brightening up while telling us about the man who happened to give her that teddy bear, my instinct told me it was something I must not disregard, something I have to make sure and prepare for.Is it really possible? Is he finally…“Any news from your mom? Or your stepfather?” Hail asked, sounded s

“Bev, I’ll drop the call now. Deal with that.” Hail said in the other line.“Yeah. Bye…” and she ended it. I sighed and set my phone aside before I faced Ria again.She looked so amused while gazing at the television screen, admiring her father’s immaculate features. “I can’t believe he’s on TV right now! Is he somehow popular? And it’s awesome to think he has the same surname as grandpa Trev! Is he a relative, mommy?” continuous questions of the very curious Ria.Now, she turned her head completely to face me, looking so eager to get the answers from my mouth. I felt torn. Silently, I took the remote and turned off the TV. Her expression soured as if she was so ready to complain but chose to stop herself. I moved closely and tucked some strands of her hair that were almost covering her eyes. “Are you really that curious about him, hmm?” “Yes! I feel like he’s an amazing person! Besides, I still owe him this cute huggable stuff!” She giggled as she pulled the teddy bear and tried t

A round of applause exploded into the air as his announcement satisfied the guests. Everybody seemed happy, most especially that woman’s family as I could spot their victorious smirks from here and of course, Cameron clan. Some of his cousins met my gaze, I even saw a glimpse of concern in Rainer’s eyes but I quickly looked away, my hands fisted on the sides of my dress.“Wow! So this is the big announcement you were talking about! Your son has a nice taste, I must say!” “Of course, that’s given. He’s my son after all.” Trevor toned proudly.What the fuck is happening? Why is he suddenly... engaged to that woman? Was it possible? Did he happen to realize that he’d fallen for her just because she was the one who stayed by his side when he needed it the most?He already clarified it himself. She was there for him in those dark times, which made me think… did he make her his fiancé because he owed her such effort? Or maybe it was because he really did fall in love with her in a span of

I could feel my heart desperately banging my chest. My feet seemed to freeze on the ground, gaze fixed solely on his enticing turquoise pair. Ria ran and then, clung to my arm. Atlas lazily stood up and fixed his tux. “Come on, mommy!” It was too late for me to react because Ria already pulled me close to him!“B-Baby! What are you doing?” I tried to chuckle out of awkwardness plus there was a turmoil going inside my head.“I want to introduce you to him, personally!” she uttered, determination as etched on her innocent face. My gaze softened.“She literally looks like you.” A cold voice spoke. We both looked at Atlas who was still standing, just a few inches away from me.“H-Huh?” Does he… does he remember? About our last conversation? About Adriana—“However, my niece’s just too energetic and talkative. I doubt if she got those traits from you too, stepsis.” The side of his lips slightly tugged up. I felt like I could faint any moment now cuz what did he mean niece? What did he me

“What are you waiting for? Just do it, Bev.” Hailee kept on convincing me. I looked at her, apprehensively. “B-But I’m scared. What if-“ Before I could finish my words, she already cut me off.“Oh come on! It’s normal to feel scared but there’s no point if you’d continue being like this. So, try it now. If you never try, you’ll never know.” She then showed me her warmest smile as she caressed my arm.Her smile and her soothing voice were too comforting, and she’s really a great convincer—there’s no doubt on that. In the end, I found myself walking inside the restroom with a troubled mind. My heart never stopped beating so loud, it only worsened as I closed the door and sat on the toilet bowl. It’s as if any minute by now, I’m going to collapse due to the anxiety lingering through my system. I just know I never saw this coming. No one ever did. I just woke up one day and I started feeling the symptoms. God knows how hard I tried to ignore it and disregard the possibilities. But late

TWO WEEKS AGO“Come on, Hail!” I pulled my friend just as we entered Pentagon, the Torryn Hills’ one and only high-end club. Particularly, me and Hailee’s favorite place in the entire city. We immediately blended in the crowd. We headed to the island bar without further ado. I don’t know. I just feel like I want to get wasted tonight.The cool ambiance was giving, the loud noise, upbeat music done by the DJ, and the smells of different liquors and smokes from cigar and vape were all mixing up into the air. It’s just so perfectly giving. Definitely something I’ve been craving for since a week by now.“Whoa, whoa! Hey, you chill, girl.” Hailee reacted as I drank my Tequila shot one after another, straight to my throat.“What do you think? Did my alcohol intake improve? Is it passable now?” I grinned at her. She frowned. “Honestly? Still sucks,” Ouch. “Well, anyways, let me guess…” she shook the ice cubes in her shot glass. “You had an argument with your mom again, that’s why you’re dr

The man who I fucked last night is my stepbrother? Is this some kind of a fucking joke?I removed my eyes from the danger of his gaze and shifted it to my mother’s face. My heart was in my mouth as I gathered all of my courage to speak up after a moment of deafening silence.“Tell me you’re kidding, mom.” I said in a controlled voice. She raised an eyebrow at me, as if my words sounded ridiculous to her ears.“I’m not kidding, Bev.” She stared at me for a second before I got to see her sarcastic smile. “Oh, I get it now. Of course, I should’ve saw that reaction coming. We’ve already talked about this matter but I guess, we just couldn’t understand each other.” She toned bitterly.I swallowed hard, not because I was affected by her words. But because I could clearly feel those intense stares from that man named… Atlas.What’s with his stares, by the way? He must stop doing that! It’s as if he could remember what happened last night between us.Or… maybe he really could.My eyes widened

Sometimes it’s better to let go of something temporarily just so you wouldn’t have to lose it permanently. As long as I want to be selfish, it came to me that I wasn’t the same old Beverly anymore who was ever so persistent to force things to go on her way. After all, it was for the greater good and who am I to question their decision when I have no rights to in the first place? So, this is how it should be... I already expected it before I slept that night but still, I was surprised to see the busy people in the villa when I purposely visited the next day to pick up some of my things there. I fixed my gaze on the two bulbous bodyguards upstairs who were currently carrying three black suitcase and travel bags. Behind them was Trevor Cameron whose expression the usual emotionless yet screams authority; a reminder for everyone in the room that he’s the honorable patriarch molded with power and superiority. I took a few little steps to walk pass through the busy helpers scattered all
Stepbrother, I Have A Secret Chapter 34: Lose Him
If there’s one thing I’d surely regret in this life, that’s when I knew I could’ve prevented it from happening but instead, I made him go for it. Hence, he didn’t attend to my wedding. Was he drunk? Did he perhaps see it coming? Was it… a suicidal stunt?Oh, God. You’re really a damn big idiot, Cameron.“Hey, Bev!” Duke called but I intended to ignore him to follow Rainer, Atlas’ cousin who was rushing to their SUV together with other Camerons. “You goin’?” Trevor asked as I leveled his steps. “Hell, yes.” So that if I happen to know how horrible it got him, I’d have my reason to beat my own self at home.I never looked back at any of the Howard who kept on calling me to go back and stay with my groom. Fuck that! I didn’t marry him just to be his sidekick. Then, I saw Hailee who gave me a supportive nod. I nodded back and slid myself inside the van, mom was already sitting in there beside Trevor whose expression can’t be fathomed. Everybody was silent in the car and only the sound
Stepbrother, I Have A Secret Chapter 33: Accident
I was gazing blankly at my reflection in the vanity mirror, there’s nothing I could feel inside my chest but hollow. At last, the hired makeup artist was done putting highlights on my face and when she’s finally out, I got the clear view of my mother who’s been combing my natural wavy hair for some minutes now.“Such a gorgeous bride, my dear.” She complimented, smiling.My lips curved a little. She softly raked the ends of my hair using the hairbrush, her face looked peaceful and in those light brown orbs, I saw a dancing happiness. Of course, she’s happy. They’re happy for their most anticipated day has finally come today. The Howard family’s dream was about to come true which was mom’s dream too and… my greatest nightmare.Back when I was still her little girl, I would always imagine myself walking down the aisle, wearing the most beautiful gown a bride could ever have in her most special day. In my childhood dream, I’d be marrying the love of my life, the man who would take my hea
Stepbrother, I Have A Secret Chapter 32: Disgust
“How long have you been standing there?” Trevor questioned his son, his voice sounded cold and intimidating. Atlas gazed at his father with the same level of coldness freezing his eyes.“Just enough for the baby part.” He uttered. “So…” his deep set of icy pairs bore into mine. I swallowed as I blinked before I looked away with intention. But then, he aggressively walked towards my direction! It literally alerted everyone, especially his father who was fast enough to block him and then there’s Duke who pulled me to his arms, as if trying to protect me from any harm Atlas could bring. “You stubborn man, stay where you are!” Trevor thundered. “Everybody against me, huh?” Atlas chuckled dryly. I bit my lip as I felt a quick kick in my heart. Duke’s arms were still wrapped around my arms. I dared to move just to take a quick glance at Atlas but then, immediately regretted it after I saw the glooming darkness in his eyes, something in his expression told me that he was already murderin
