บททั้งหมดของ Tamed By My Stepbrother: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Spring, two years after, It was already getting dark when the taxi dropped me in front of my mum's new family home. The journey from Bradford in the United Kingdom to Albany in New York was quite stressful as I tried to hold the handle of my luggage and a big traveling box to stand firmly in place on the ground. I stared at the magnitude mansion that took the natural environment as sacred, though it was modern to every single detail, it was built around the trees protecting them. Three interlocking levels show the versatility of color in the two-storey mansion. Featuring large panes of glass and even wider viewing platforms, while the stunning horizontal wooden panel makes a clear path to the front door. The cold breeze fanned my face as I fought the urge to stop the tears that glistened on my face. I used the back of my right hand to wipe my eyes and breathed out. 'I can't still believe mum left dad to live this kind of life, so selfish of her,' I thought angrily as I began to pu

HAILEY's POV. I finally got to the house where the party was taking place, thanks to Brielle's description, I reached the front of the apartment which was blaring out hip hop music. I already told mum that I wanted to go see Ryan, leaving the party section out of it… She doesn't need to know about that. I was putting on black jeans and a navy green jacket as I covered my head with the hood, I knew I would be the odd one to be dressed here, especially when girls around my age would be putting on skimpy body con dresses and any other dress that would expose their body to a night party. I got irritated by the smell of Liquor and smoke from cigarettes as I lowered my head while using my arm to cover my nose. Furthermore, I got inside the house crowded with hormonal and crazy teenagers as they rocked and danced to the beat of the music. I looked up and glanced and luckily no one knew who I really was, some guys just glanced at me and passed, maybe because of the way I was dressing. I

“Come on! Brielle, you just fucking wet my carpet,” Ryan groaned annoyingly as he cupped Brielle's face with his palms and stared softly at her, and my jaw fell in shock.“Do you know how much I got those designer carpets?” He questioned her calmly as they both directed their gaze to the carpeted floor, ignoring me like I wasn't the victim.I was too surprised and thrilled to move, watching Brielle mutter 'sorry' to him sheepishly.“It's okay,” He smiled warmly at her, brushing her hair to the back while Brielle giggled slightly, tugging a loose strand behind her ear as they both gazed into each other's eyes.What even crushed me was when he leaned to kiss her left cheek, making her blush profusely.My heart sank, staring at what the both of them just did, ignoring me totally like an outcast. I couldn't take it any longer as I boiled with fiery and turned around and pushed my way through the crowds running out of the house angrily.I finally got to the street, especially escaping the

HAILEY's POV.I was so happy that I smiled at almost everyone who passed my way down the hallway, while I drowned in my thoughts about how I and Ryan had finally made peace at last.I entered the classroom and Ryan was speaking to some of his friends in class, I glanced everywhere searching for Brielle since she always follows Ryan around like a kitten.She wasn't in class and, I guessed, she wasn't a literature student. I noticed how she stayed at arm's length when Ryan, Micah, I, and Jace were the ones so keen about the project.I made my way to my seat as Shirley waved at me, showing me her Silver braces around her teeth.“Good morning, Shirley,” I greeted her, placing my bag on the table.“Good morning, someone looks so happy this morning,” She told me as I blushed slightly.“Is it that obvious?” I whispered asking her about settling down to sit when I felt someone tap my shoulder lightly.“Ley!” That deep voice rang out, I turned around immediately and saw Ryan staring at me in t

HAILEY's POV.✿✿I rolled from side to side on my bed contemplating skipping class, I tried to remember what I learned about the presentation, but I couldn't even try to retain anything in my memory.It felt so clouded…Suddenly, I stood up, that dickhead who caused all this would be in school, I thought.'He's going to give me a better explanation why he did this, he will tell me what I did to deserve all this,' I fumed as I put my books and my phone into my bag and zipped it up furiously.I walked closer to the mirror to check out myself, my eyes had sunken in causing dark circles below my eye sacs, it was because of him, I couldn't sleep as I called him endlessly to no avail last night.Adjusting my short pleated school skirt and buttoning the one button on my Navy-blue blazers.I walked back to my bed and grabbed my back, slumping it over my shoulder as my fingers curled around the straps, and I headed out of my room.I jogged down the stairs and made my way directly to the front
