Yours Truly: Loving the One I Shouldn’t Chapter 8: Princess Problems
[Maddox]This was supposed to be a peaceful weekend at the lake house.Instead, I was stuck sharing a damn cottage with the human equivalent of a walking anger issue.Edward had dropped the bomb right when we arrived: Damian and I would be staying in the smaller cottage facing the lake, while he and Mom took the main house five minutes away. “You boys need to bond,” he’d said with that politician smile.Bond. Yeah, right.I wasn’t happy. At all. After the way Damian had slammed me against the wall a few days ago and basically told me I stole his family, being forced to share breathing space with him felt like signing up for emotional Russian roulette.Still… I couldn’t stop watching him.He was dragging his suitcase toward the cottage like it had personally offended him, jaw clenched so tight I thought the muscle might pop. Part of me; this stupid, protective monster I couldn’t seem to kill, wanted to know what the hell was really wrong with him. Wanted to fix it. Wanted to make that
Yours Truly: Loving the One I Shouldn’t Chapter 7: Stepbrother’s Rage
[Maddox]Now this wasn’t what I was expecting after Damian slept in my space yesterday, well not my space, my doorstep… his doorstep. God I need to take a break.Looking at him across the breakfast table, pushing his scrambled eggs around, his jaw so tight the muscle kept twitching every few seconds… I’m starting to think something’s seriously off with him.We hadn’t talked. He left before I even woke up. It was like the guy from last night had vanished, replaced by this cold version sitting across from me, wearing a scowl like it was part of his face.Damn me, I want to know why he’s like that.My stepfather, Edward cleared his throat. "Kids," he started, his voice booming cheerfully in the quiet room. "Your mother and I have decided it's time for a proper break. We're heading up to the lake house this weekend. The whole family."He smiled, a broad, politician's smile that didn't reach his eyes. My mother smiled back, nervous and hopeful. Me? I want to spend time with my mom, but w
Yours Truly: Loving the One I Shouldn’t Chapter 6: The Lost Puppy
[Maddox] The rain wouldn’t stop hammering against the hotel pavement, turning the world into a blurry grey mess. I stood under the rain, chest heaving, heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird. I had run out there, drenched in seconds, looking for him. But Damian was gone. I scanned the wet street, the parking lot, the huddled groups of guests running for taxis. Nothing. Just rain and the dull ache of disappointment that settled in the pit of my stomach. It wasn't just that he’d run off, though that was annoying. It was the look in his eyes. That dark, dangerous look that had flickered when we locked eyes in the hall. It wasn't just a shock. It felt like he was afraid. The confident hockey captain had looked at me like I was something he’d lost and was terrified to find again. Why? "Maddox!" Daniel's voice cut through the downpour. He and Daisy appeared under a shared umbrella, red hair plastered to their faces, looking at me like I'd lost my mind. "You're soa
Yours Truly: Loving the One I Shouldn’t Chapter 5: The Voice That Ruined Everything
[Maddox]The rain wouldn’t fucking stopIt hammered against the hotel windows like it’s the end of the world.The outdoor field ceremony was canceled, and everything got moved inside the grand wedding hall downstairs. I stood in my room in a black suit, staring at the downpour while Daniel and Daisy argued over my tie.“You look like you are about to shit your pants.” Daniel said, yanking the knot loose again. “Shut up,” Daisy shot back, slapping his hands away. “He looks hot. Stop messing with him.”They had driven all the way from Alpharetta just for this. The only two people here who actually knew me. Their teasing was the only thing keeping my nerves from exploding.“I need to see my mom,” I muttered, slipping out before they could follow.Her dressing room was quiet except for the soft click of the door. The second I saw her, my chest tightened. She looked… younger. The white dress hugged her perfectly, and the smile on her face was real. This is what I’ve been working my ass
Yours Truly: Loving the One I Shouldn’t Chapter 4: Family Shadows
[Maddox]The twins dropped me off with quick hugs and a promise to text when they got home. I watched their car disappear down the highway, then dragged my suitcase toward the hotel where Mom was waiting. Atlanta felt the same, but everything inside me felt different.Mom opened the hotel room door before I could knock. She pulled me into a tight hug, smelling like the same lavender shampoo she’d used since I was a kid. For the first time in years, she looked light. Actually happy.“You’re here,” she whispered against my shoulder. “I missed you so much.”I hugged her back, letting myself relax for a second. “Missed you too.”We stepped inside the modest room. Two beds, a small couch, and her suitcase already unpacked. I dropped mine by the door and asked the obvious question. “Why are we at a hotel? I thought we were moving into the new house.”Mom smiled as she sat on the edge of the bed. “All our things are already there. Your stepfather wanted us to settle in together after the wed
Yours Truly: Loving the One I Shouldn’t Chapter 3: Breakfast and bad omen
[Maddox] The little café just off campus was packed with students trying to squeeze in one last decent meal before winter break. Daniel sat across from me, red hair messy as usual, scrolling through his phone while shoving eggs into his mouth. “You still ain’t telling me about your rendezvous with Damian?” Daniel started putting his phone down, the corner of his mouth curling into a smug smile. I ignored him and sipped my mocha, trying very hard not to give in that easily. He sighed dramatically and launched into his usual mantra. “Oh, what has become of me? No fella to cry to...” I snorted. “You must have forgotten, but that doesn’t work on me anymore.” He rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair. “How long until you consider me your best friend?” “You ain’t even my friend yet.” “Dude, we’ve known each other for three years…” “Maddox! Daniel!” Daisy’s voice cut through the chatter like a siren. Heads turned as Daniel’s twin sister marched straight to our table, her red p
