LOGIN“These sneakers cost more than your family makes in a month and you dare step on them?” I cursed. The very first day I met this kid, it ended in chaos after he stepped on me, but he had this energy I just couldn't match. I found it intimidating and disrespectful and of course, dealt with him. Only for me to arrive at dinner and mom introduced him again as my step brother. The plan was to ruin him as I hated him even more and in achieving that, I accepted a bet to make him fall for me. But what started as a dare grew into something darker and fiercer. The real feelings set in and this was when the millionaire question struck me: In a world built on lies, dares and betrayal, would love make me or break me?

“The fuck is wrong with you?!” I spat at the poor thing standing before me.
“Wait, what are you even doing here?” I asked, observing him like a complete piece of trash.
His face glowed with an aura I couldn't match, one I found disrespectful and somewhat intimidating.
“I'm sorry,” he quietly said and turned to leave.
My head was rocked with rage and I pulled him back, but once again, I melted when our faces met, my heart raced with wrath and something else. My soul trembled inside, despite the craze my body was about to unleash.
“How dare you walk away from me?!” I snarled, my voice deadly and lethal. My grip tightened on his shirt and I leaned in closer, growling angrily into his ears. “These sneakers cost more than your family makes in a month and you dare step on them?”
He didn't say a word and his eyes were focused on mine. He felt every breath of me on him and didn't flinch, not even a single time and somehow, it annoyed me the more.
Slowly, he grabbed my hand and took them off his shirt. It felt like I was charmed as I just stood, watching him straighten his shirt. He turned to me once again, smiled for a few seconds and slowly, his face folded into a scowl as he walked away.
I was glued to the spot, burning with rage as I watched him walk away. My jaws were clenched hard and so was my fist.
“Fuck you!” I yelled, and kicked my legs in frustration. I wanted him to turn back at me, come for a fight, so I'll teach him the lesson of his life, but he didn't say a word.
He didn't even turn back. He only made me look like a fool in the garage.
I grumbled angrily as I headed back in, my mind racing with thoughts.
Who's that kid?
What gave him the audacity to disrespect me?
Hmmm?
I took off the sneakers and just tossed them aside with a sigh and a face filled with disgust.
I ain't gonna wear those anymore. He's stained it.
I grabbed another pair and stuck my legs in them, grumbling and mumbling all the way.
Finally, I slammed the door of my room and stormed downstairs, my mind still racing and my heart burning hot with fury.
“George!” I called and he quickly ran out, but the stench of poverty made my stomach churn.
“Nah, never mind. Just get out!” I slammed and huffed.
First, that piece of shit disrespected me, now the cleaner smells just like him! I wonder why James isn't around. He's supposed to be the one to wash my car, but he ain't and I've got to give it to the car wash opposite my house.
I just hate humans—poor people especially, they just have this bad smell that pisses me off.
After I grabbed the car, I was about to leave when my phone rang.
Grabbing it quickly, my eyes scanned it carefully and it was mom.
“Sebastian,” she wailed in a low tone. “Where are you, he'll soon be here. You can't be late on your first dinner with your step dad and step brother,” she scolded, her voice firm.
“I'm on my way,” I replied calmly and ended the call.
My eyes were focused on the road as I moved slowly, my fist tightly wrapped around the wheels, my head nodding softly to the music playing in the background.
Oh man!” I cried, pounding the chair.
The annoying rain has started and now, I'll have to return this car to those same wretches to wash.
A deep sigh escaped my lips and I just thought, maybe I should just go back.
But nah, mom wouldn't be happy. I just continued and after driving a few more meters, my eyes caught someone by the sidewalk.
Wait, hope am not mistaken?
That's him, the same rat that had the guts to disrespect me!
Yes, it's him, walking under the rain with an umbrella.
Cool! Now I'll teach you a lesson.
I sped up, seeing he was wearing a white shirt, and I timed the small water gathered by the side and swerved in it, splashing the dirt all over him.
“Hey!” He cried and I just sped off, laughing hard.
Next time, you learn to respect me.
Soon, I was back at home, the magnificent and wonderful mansion that had this ever fresh and refreshing scent of wealth and peace. The walls spoke power, the type only I was expected to wield.
I drove in and parked quickly. Hurrying up, mom was already seated with a pale face.
“Where have you been?”
I didn't say a word, I just made an awkward gesture and sat with her on the table.
She kept on rambling and talking all about him, his son, how good he was and ah!
“Elena,” I turned sharply when I heard a voice behind me and she quickly rushed over and hugged him warmly.
“Lucas, meet Sebastian,” she quickly introduced him to me and I smiled at him, shaking hands with him and sat back at the table.
He was a tall and slender man, with curly hair, just the exact spec of my mom. Calmly, I accessed his suit, it looked good, his loafers too, classic.
Mmm, mom still had good taste, I can't deny.
They kept on talking and I just did the listening, but I remember she said meeting with him and his son? It piqued my interest why he wasn't here yet.
“Uhm, sorry to interrupt, but where's…”
“Oh,” he quickly cut in. “He's on his way. He'll be late, he said he had a small issue while he was coming, but he'll be here soon,” he chuckled and mom flirted with him.
“Mmm,” I nodded and just mulched the food in my mouth.
After the food, he still wasn't here. And I couldn't just sit here and watch adults flirt, acting like I wasn't seeing them.
I cleared my throat sharply and stood up.
“I'll be upstairs,” I announced and they smiled.
I headed up, my mind sick with their annoying and childish behavior, but just when I was a few more steps to my room, I heard the door open.
“Eli,” his voice chimed with joy as he ran.
“Sebastian! He's here!” Mom called and I slowly descended once again with a soft sigh.
My face was bent low and my arms were folded.
“Sebastian, meet Eli Brooks, your new brother,” Mom's voice was full of joy as she announced and I stretched my hands forward to exchange a handshake but when my eyes met with his, my mouth
went agape immediately and my heart skipped a beat.
What, no! The same annoying kid from the car wash!
“You?”
Sebastian’s POVThe joy I felt ever since I banged his girlfriend is more than satisfying. It's another day to remind him not to mess with me. It never ends well.But today, we were out partying and once again, he was here, sitting across the table, but his face was too calm and that same matchless aura of his filled the room and was choking me.At intervals, we glanced at each other, our eyes sharp with hate like pointed and poisoned daggers.But despite the hate burning between us, somehow, I ran my eyes through his body, scanning his every feature, his hard chest, his hair, he's just super charming and it annoys me why I find myself falling for him.The pull between us is undeniable, but I hate it, I hate everything about it.I was too busy staring and didn't notice Devon standing with a warm smirk and his mind probably reeling with dangerous thoughts.He finally snapped his fingers and I woke up from my long crazed delusion.“What's going on?” He raised an eyebrow, turning to Eli.
Eli's POV “Dad, I really don't like this idea of moving in with Mrs Elena,” I mumbled, my voice heavy and was barely audible. My face folded in sadness as I stared at him and he patted my shoulder softly.“My boy,” he encouraged, his voice warming but still didn't calm the conflict in my head.“Don't worry, it's gonna be alright. You know we can't reject the offer, it's going to break Elena's heart,” he reminded. “And we already promised?” He raised an eyebrow.I grumbled angrily and he held me back.“Come on,” he begged.“Dad, I know it's going to break her heart, but…” “Eli,” he called, his voice firm. “There's no but. I assure you, everything will work out smoothly. Elena is a very loving person, I promise she'll take good care of you,” he chuckled and folded me into himself.“I'll see you later boy,” he patted me again and rushed out. He was already late for work and I watched him disappear into the distance.But my head was heavy with aches. I held my raging temple softly and d
Sebastian’s POV“So boys, I've got some news,” I smiled with mischief as I stared at them. They cracked their fists and got ready as it was of course, a thing of joy whenever I had news, there was definitely going to be some bones to destroy.“Well, remember that brat I told you guys about when I went to get back my car?” They all nodded.“Surprise, he's my step brother,” I said in a slow tone, my face folding softly into a scary scowl.They didn't say a word as the news was shocking and of course, if I was in their shoes, I also wouldn't know what to say.“Come on boys, don't be sour. I want to teach him a lesson. He had the guts to make my mom shout at me!” I cried and they quickly turned to me and that face I wanted was worn.“He's here, in school here, but as a scholarship kid,” I revealed with scorn in my tone and we all laughed.“So, I want…”Just then, the angry school bell dinged hard and their faces melted.“We'll continue this discussion later. Let's head to class now…”The
Eli's POV I arrived wet all thanks to that annoying human. Mrs. Elena just couldn't stop talking, telling me why I walked under the rain, and said she'll grab me a coat, she's just too nice.“I'm fine, thank you,” I pleaded but she was still insisting.“Don't worry, Sebastian will get you a coat and a change of clothes,” she insisted and I couldn't push further.“Sebastian!”My heart was left reeling when I took a glance at him. He couldn't help but scream at me as his face quickly folded into a thick scowl.“You!” He cried and I didn't say a word, neither did my face move in surprise or any reaction. My composure was firm, despite the awkwardness of the situation.Mrs. Elena and Dad just watched in awe, their eyes widened in shock.“You know each other?” She asked, her brows raised.We just stared at each other and I saw the intimidation and insecure looks in those blue eyes of his. His fist folded and his jaw tightened, his stance toughened and his gaze was unwavering.The awkward
