Lahat ng Kabanata ng Help Me, Stepbrothers, For I Have Sinned: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Lavender:“What is wrong with you?” my mother complained once we entered the house, and I closed the door like it was an emergency.I was holding the cake in my hand that I had brought earlier, but the excitement of celebrating my birthday had faded now.“Mom, you need to listen to me.” I couldn’t believe we made it to the house without me telling her about her new husband.I had no clue she was getting married, and I would have been happier had it not been to someone who was a fricking boss’s father.“What is it?” My mom rolled her eyes, putting her purse down. I looked around and saw the mess. There were boxes in every corner and disposable plates and cups lying around.“You should not marry this man.” The minute I pointed at her bag, I watched darkness take over her eyes.She looked angry right from the start.“What did you say? Huh! You want me to live my life without a man? Do I not deserve happiness?” My mother’s tantrum wasn’t new. She would always lose it with me."I'm not say

Lavender:I had quickly stepped back from him, fixing my posture to show him obedience. "I live with my uncle every few months. It's an agreement between my mom and my uncle."I made up an excuse to leave, rubbing my hands nervously and keeping my eyes down."But you just came back. Your mom told me about the agreement and everything. So don't think I don’t know," he had a strange calmness to his tone—both fake and real at the same time, if that made any sense."Umm! I’ll just go and stay with him a little longer. I don’t think I’ll get the nursing job here anyway," I continued making up another lie. I had already been asked to start working at a private hospital as one of the housing nurses. "You don’t have to worry about that either." He pulled his arms back and clasped his hands behind him, standing tall at 6 feet 3 inches."Please let me go. I swear I won’t tell a soul." That was it—I had to come clean and tell him I was too scared to stay here.He tilted his head, his handsome f

Lavender:I fell asleep dreaming about the next time I’d exchange emails with Eston–the famous model I had a crush on. They were mostly about work, but sometimes he would flirt a little, and that would be enough for me to have dreams about him for weeks afterward.But then, my dreams were interrupted by the sunlight streaming through the window with no curtains. I covered my eyes and shifted in bed until I realized where I was.I woke up in a bad mood, recalling the events of the night and feeling a deep sense of dread.The bathroom in the attic was smaller than a storage closet, but I liked having a bathroom in my room. There was no warm water in the shower, so I had to dance under the cold water miserably.I had thrifted a black tie-shoulder smock floral white midi dress that fit my body perfectly. It was something I frequently did—visiting a thrift store whenever I saved enough money. I matched it with a black cardigan sweater, a tote bag, and beige suede ankle-strap pumps.I braid

Lavender:“I was walking by the hallway and heard the buzzing noise.” Igor had brought the devil upstairs. And ever since he stormed up, I had been glued to the wall in the corner.Nikon was in a suit, probably ready to head out for his ‘work,’ but now he was standing by the bed, hands on his waist, and a very upset look on his face.Igor, however, was leaning against the wall by the window, amusement in his eyes as if he was about to be entertained.“Firstly,” Nikon stretched his neck, turning his attention to his brother, “you should not be in your stepsister’s room. And secondly, I don’t care what you’ve been doing in your life, but now that you’re living here, I will not tolerate such behavior.”That was his warning to me.“But I—,” I only tried to speak when he hushed me down.“Hush! Don’t talk when I don’t ask you to. Go grab your fucking bag and go to your job,” he hissed at me, silencing me with the finger he pointed at me.He looked so angry with me."I will discard this blas

Nikon:I stayed in my car, watching them drag and throw her into the other vehicle.I have never met someone who found out who I was and still disobeyed me.This new sister of mine had successfully gotten under my skin in just two days.First, she was nasty enough to leave a bag full of sex toys, with one turned on and out in the open. And then she had the nerve to refuse me.“Hello,” I answered the call, now on my way to the dinner venue.“Did you get rid of her?” Igor asked, clearly interested in the matter.I didn’t want him involved because I knew he would be careless. Igor didn’t understand the weight of our lifestyle. We had to stay low-key, but he sometimes did things just to scare people off.“Don’t worry. She’ll be taken care of for the night,” I said. “And next time she dares raise her head against me, I’ll cut it off.”It was pretty clear she had bruised my ego when she refused to hand over the documents.“What about the documents? We need those,” Igor muttered. “I’m still
