Semua Bab My Biker Stepbrother, My Ruin: Bab 81 - Bab 90

My eyelids felt heavy as I struggled to open them. I remembered falling on the ground, but the softness I felt beneath me told a different story. I was no longer outside?Opening my eyes, the lights struck my sight first. Did I faint?I blinked hard until the shapes began to take form.I was in a hospital bed.My heart skipped a beat. I tried to move, but a dull ache spread through my limbs. Then my eyes caught what looked like tattoos on arms before they saw his full frame- Zayne. He was sitting beside the bed, elbows resting on his knees, head bowed slightly like someone lost in thoughts. When he realized I was watching, he straightened quickly, eyes searching my face with that familiar intensity.“Hey,” he said softly. “You’re awake.”My voice came out hoarse. “What… what happened? How did you get here?”He exhaled slowly, like the answer didn’t really matter anymore. “It doesn’t matter, Teyana. I know what happened. You passed out. How are you feeling now?”For a moment, I didn’t

~Zayne’s POV~Dr Vance cleared his throat as if realizing the tension around us. Everyone knew how it was like with Jeremy and I.“I’ll give you both a moment.” He said, excusing us.When he shut the door behind him, I half-expected Jeremy to lash out at me, maybe tell me to get out, but he said nothing.He was just looking, then looked away. I broke the silence, leaning against the wall, my arms wrapped around me. “How’s the arm?”He gave a short, humorless laugh without looking up. “You can stop pretending you care.”I exhaled through my nose, half a scoff. “Alright. I don’t.” My shoulders tensed. “John asked me to come.”He lifted his gaze, meeting my eyes. “You shouldn’t have listened to my father.”I looked away, a part of me embarrassed by what I was going to say. “Maybe a part of me wanted to come too.” I bit my lower lips, almost regretting I just said those.That made him snort, his expression dismissive. “Sure,” he said, his eyes distant. “That’s believable.”For a few hear

~Jeremy’s POV~The room went so quiet I could hear my own pulse beating through the bandages on my arm.“What?” My father’s tone dropped, his gaze fully on me now.My fingers twitched. I wasn’t exactly afraid. I just wasn’t expecting that he would get to know today. I had never planned ahead for the day he would find out about us. Bianca might have been a brat for running her mouth, but the truth? It didn’t rattle me. It was already out there, living inside me.His voice came out more pressured, “What Bianca just said…is it true?”I lifted my head slowly until my eyes met his. My voice came out low, almost calm. “What would you do if it was true?”Bianca’s voice trembled as she insisted behind him, her voice filled with pain and hurt, “It’s true.”John ignored her completely, his stare locked on me. “I want to hear it from your mouth, Jeremiah.”My jaw tightened. My heart beat hard, but not out of fear—out of defiance. Then, with a breath that felt heavier than my whole body, I said,

Staring into the mirror, I could barely recognize myself. But I felt better in these clothes than my usuals. The normal nerdy me would wear something hideous and plain then put on my big glasses. But I wasn’t her anymore.I hadn’t even worn them since Zayne put one off me during the biker’s hangout night. A crazy night. A lot has really changed since I moved to Los Alamos. I dropped the romance book I was reading earlier. Zayne was calling. He was here to pick me up.“Coming.” I replied and ended the call. I turned in front of the mirror to access myself one last time. The red top I had on was showing a hint of cleavage; my bustiness was very obvious tonight—paired with a three-quarter black leather skirt that had a high slit in the front, stopping in the middle of my thigh. Black heels completed the look, and my naturally blessed long hair framed my face neatly. I’d brushed on mascara and lip gloss too.When Carol bought me these clothes months ago, I thought I would never need th

I picked the call as soon as I found an empty space. “Tey?” My knees weakened on their own as Jeremy’s voice penetrated into my ears. “Hello, are you there?” He asked. I swallowed, trying to find my voice. “Hi?” I finally let out. I heard him exhale through the connection and my pulse beat so violently that I pressed a trembling hand to my chest, trying to steady it.“I know you probably don’t expect to hear from me, but I will make this brief.” For a moment, I couldn’t speak. That voice— it always had a way of finding the softest part of me and pressing there. I wanted to ask about his arm. I wanted to ask about a lot of things…I swallowed hard, forcing words out even as my throat tightened. “Go ahead, it’s fine.” I tried to sound casual.“Okay. Can we see tomorrow? I want to… discuss something important with you. Promise not to take your time.” Jeremy sounded scared, unsure- that was very unusual.I clearly wasn’t expecting that. Those mean words he said to me surfaced in my m
