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 POV My eyes lingered in his eyes slowly dropping down to his lips - those plumb red strawberries liked lips…. I'm was allergic to strawberries but I badly wanted a taste of these ones. I bit my lower lips seductively trying to subdue the groan erupting from my throat. Why was I even feeling this was them just trying to seduce him? I was only trying to seduce him but it seem more he was the one seducing me. I watched a cold sweat broke on his face, beads of sweat formed on his forehead - he cleared his throat awkwardly, adjusting on his seat in a desperate attempt to avoid my burning gaze and our dangerous closeness. He was trapped, I closed him in good, there was no espace from that at all but why was I the one with the pounding heart? Why was I the one with the shaky breath? Why was I trying to keep control even when he was obviously trapped? Or was I the one under his spell. “What…em.. you kidding… Right?” He muttered, his voice a gentle but nervous wishper. I
Eli's POV “You poured the wrong drink Seb, are you planning on poisoning me?” I muttered softly, as I dropped the drink back on the table. He stared at me keenly like he was waiting for me to tell him it was just a joke but I was silent. I had no idea he heard me in the first place, I thought I had muttered those words to myself alone. “I don't understand.. is that a joke? Why did you look so serious?” He asked, as he gazed at me curiously. “I'm allergic to pineapple. I would literally die if I drink that.” I chuckled softly, making sure the mood wasn't tensed. The last thing I wanted was he feeling guilty about making me breakfast. He had no idea, I was allergic to pineapple - I mean, not even dad knows that. I made sure I kept it a secret while avoiding taking anything pineapple. Dad has no idea because he would make a big fuss out out of it and I don't want any drama. “Are you for real? Oh my God I had no idea!” He half yelled, his eyes laced with guilt. Exactly what I
CHAPTER 028 SEBASTIAN’S POV “I guess you were just saying it just because you wanted to hide the truth then. Typical Sebastain!” He scoffed, slowly trying to stand up on his feet. Oh right! He was going to gaslight me? Then I guess I have to make breakfast for real. I let out a soft sigh as I walk closer to him. “Your legs seems to be working fine don't they?” I muttered softly, and he frowned. “I woke up and they seem to be a little bit relieved.” He answered and I chuckled. Of course, they were relieved because I stayed up all night tending to them - but he would never know that would he? Only the way to gaslight me and force me to becoming his chef is the only thing he knows how to do best. “You are a deep sleeper too, I never know that.” I scoffed, slowly forcing him back to his seat. “Says someone who had slept all through the morning. Did you check the time you woke up this morning?” His eyes fixed on mine with curiousity and I chuckled softly. “That because I wa
Sebastian's POV “You want a piggy ride Eli? I would do anything you want.” I teased. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at me like I had grown a second head. I had no idea what was wrong with me too. I wasn't usually like this to anyone not especially him. Trust me, I still dislike him - maybe not as much as I did before but I was just doing this because he was… injured. I mean I cuses it so why would I take responsibility? “I don't need your help or a piggy ride, I just need ice and painkillers those will do.” He responded almost scoffing. Chuckled softly as his shy and timid responses, something I never thought he possessed until now. He was always yelling and shouting every damn time we talk so? ( I guess I'm the first to tell most of the time but still.) I nodded, leaving him there and rushing to the kitchen to get what he wanted. I was back in few minutes and he was still sitting there (well I don't think he can move if he wants to) but completely lost in t
