Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Night With My Husband's Stepbrother : Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Luis swallowed his composure on the edge of shattering into pieces. “She means everything to me,” he whispered, his voice cracking with emotion.Ricardo's voice cracked into a mocking laugh. “Yeah, that's what I said too after my second divorce. Fathering someone else's child all my miserable life, Ricardo blurted like it's nothing, his voice devoid of any emotion.Luis tilted his head a little, surprise and a little curiosity etched on his face, before he looked away with disinterest.“Want to…”“I don't want to hear your little story, Ricardo; all I'm interested in is finding Ariel. There's no way I'm believing that shit you told me.”Ricardo sighed, and his parting shot was a final blow to Luis. “I… was going to say, want to know how long they've been fucking? Google it; she's Ariel Lucas now.” Luis's eyes flashed with anger, but he managed to keep his cool.“That last name is heavyweight,” Ricardo added and started to walk away but turned back to Luis.“One last thing, I want my p

“I am Max.” Kelvin lied and rose to his feet.Max's face contorted in surprise. “Wait, you're Max too?”Kelvin shrugged nonchalantly. “Yeah, we're Max together, stuck together, aren't we?”Max chuckled softly, “I didn't know you were Max too.”“That's because I didn't tell you, my bad. Grandmother gave me that name. Quite a lovely name, isn't it?” He smiled.Max grinned, the little boy as happy as a clam.“We should leave; it's getting late. Why's your sister Anya always late anyway?” Kelvin asked.“She must be cooking,” Max said with a small smile. “Her food is always delicious; will you have lunch with us?”Kevin's lips thinned flatly as he thought of how to reply. “Perhaps, someday,” he finally replied.Max grinned, “I am so glad you're going to meet her; she's so lovely. I'm sure she'll be happy to meet you too.” Kelvin returned his bright smile.They entered the worn-out car he borrowed from an old man two weeks ago, paying him twice the car money.The thing was, he needed to st

It was late in the middle of the night.Ariel wasn't sleeping, her mind reeling, recalling how it all started.She got herself in a huge mess, but too sad, she realized it late.Acting all lovey-dovey with Johny was the worst challenge of her life.She'd have to put up with Johny's narcissism to prove to the world they're truly in love. They even kiss occasionally, on camera.As far as she'd known Johny, he could go to any length, any length at all, to get power, and that's what he's doing now, threatening her with Max, the reason she signed the contract in the first place.Her son is the reason she's here, sleeping beside a beast. A beast in sheep's clothing.A tear trailed down her face as her thoughts swirled back to when she got a call that Max had been hospitalized.She remembered her whole world came to a halt. Her son was the sole reason she was here, and honestly, she couldn't wait to see this whole charade end, and she got to see her Max again.She was still deep in her th

She secretly checked her wristwatch, and her heart skipped when she saw the time.It was ten minutes past eleven.In the message, she was supposed to be at the location by 11am.She dropped the fork.“What?” Johny asked, his gaze unwavering.Ariel stood up. “I’m done eating,” she said, her voice carrying a hint of defiance.“You barely touched your food…”“I’m good, Johnny,” she stated firmly and threw her arms up dramatically. “And there’re no cameras here, so stop with the acting now — it doesn’t suit you.”Johny rose, making Ariel’s heart jump.What now? Her mind reeled.Then he started moving closer — step by step, slowly and steadily.Ariel gulped down the lump in her throat nervously as she spontaneously took steps backward, too, her mind reeling, praying to all gods that exist to make him stop.But Johny didn’t stop until she hit the wall with a gasp, her chest rising and falling, unsure of what he was going to do this time.Johny moved closer and closer and closer, making Arie

The lesson rolled forward, smooth and engaging. Somehow, Kelvin had a way of making the kids enjoy mathematics more than ever. That was one of the other reasons Alexander assigned him to observe Max. He had a nice humor around kids. Even the most restless kids were drawn in by his sarcastic tone and his funny jokes. At the back of his mind, though, Kelvin couldn’t shake the memory of this morning, from Anya’s sharp eyes and her stern questions. He wasn’t sure how long he could keep the mask on. But right now? He had to be Mr. Max. The assistant teacher. And nothing more, at least until he gets the information he needs. The bell rang for recess, and Max didn't waste any time to approach Kelvin at his desk. “Told you I’d beat everyone.” He said, still grinning. Kelvin leaned against the teacher’s desk. “Yeah, yeah. Go eat something before that brain of yours sets on fire.”Max dashed out with the others, and Kelvin exhaled slowly seeing him dissappear through the door.He was g
