All Chapters of Step Brother's Deadly Obsession : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Silence followed after he asked the driver to take us home.He didn't talk to me or make eye contact after we got home, and I felt terrible about the sudden outburst.“ Cassian..”I called out, reaching out for his hand“I will be in my room”He said calmly.He walked out and headed to his room. I heaved a sigh and left for my room.I woke up very early the next morning to find out that Cassian had already left. I asked around as to where he went but the workers didn't seem to know.I stood at the balcony of my room, rethinking how I handled the situation. It was wrong, I knew it, but …With what Maria said about Cassian yesterday, I'm not sure I will look at him the same way, it felt as if everyone I met and will meet were all the same.My thoughts were interrupted by the loud click on the door. I turned to see who it was, and immediately the person pushed the door open.It was Beatrice, her eyes searching every corner of my room like I stole something.“What brings you to my room?I

I fell asleep as soon as I stopped crying. Cassian lay me on the bed and made sure to carefully tuck me in before he left for his room.I woke up the next day and yet I still felt drowsy. I checked the time it was just a few minutes past seven. I looked at the mirror and saw that my eyes had grown bags.My eyes felt heavy and I had a slight headache. After taking my bath, I noticed that my body was burning up. I might have developed a fever after crying that much yesterday.But somehow I felt energetic. I have rested this much since I came to Cassian's house. “The first aid box… I should ask Cassandra for it”I said as I went dressed up.I went downstairs searching for Cassandra and also tried to avoid Cassian as well. I didn't know how I would react when I saw him so I tried my best to avoid him.I have been nothing but ungrateful to someone who risked his life to save me, I let myself be insecure, resentful, angry, and sad, and let it out on him. I wondered if he regretted saving m

Cassian's Pov; For a moment after I held her hands, it felt like she was mine, her little smile melted my heart. Walking along the paths of the garden had been one of my biggest dreams. I wanted us to walk along this path like lovers and even more than that. “Are those chocolate cosmos?” Naomi asked running to them, her fingers trailed around them as she perceived every scent of chocolate from the flowers. She still loved them. She always stood by the lawn watching them bloom and wanting to touch them but they were Sofia's favorite, she could only watch them from afar. “Wow, they smell nice, how come you have them in your garden? I heard they were very rare” Naomi said smiling. “Just thought of someone when I saw them” I said smiling, I didn't have them at first, but after, I recalled the times she used to stare at them. I decided to grow them in my garden. I remembered the time I was told that she had been sold, my mother had sent me out before that day, she did that becau

Cassian pulled his hands away, he stared at me blankly and didn't say a word. He was hiding something and didn't want to say. I got the feeling that he didn't trust me enough to tell me but I still wanted to know. “What happened to you?” “It's nothing” “What do you mean it's nothing, look at the scar on your hand” “It's just a bruise from an accident” Cassian said. He was a bad liar, I could see through him. I wanted to pester him into telling me the truth, but I would just be prying into his private life. He wanted to keep it a secret, which meant that it was not just an accident. He was very comfortable with a gun and when he shot Eldon, what on earth had he been doing these past few years? “If you say so, let's continue then” He nodded and we went back to practice, but I wasn't concentrating anymore. I kept thinking about the scar, the bullet bruise. I kept wondering what he was into that got him that scar. He was a grown man; I shouldn't be bothering about

Maria arrived, I ran to hug her, I couldn't hide my excitement, she was the only person that I could call a friend. Her presence in the house felt like the boredom that I had to endure whenever Cassian was out, I stayed in my room until he was back from work, but now I will not have to do that anymore. I helped her carry her bags upstairs, she had so many stories about the hospital to tell me, she was filled with smiles as we reunited once more. We kept each other company until Cassian came back. I was nervous at first, worried about his reaction if he saw Maria, but then again, he was mature enough not to show his dislike towards Maria. It was time for dinner so we both went downstairs, Cassian came down afterwards. “How are you doing Maria?” Cassian asked not looking at her, “I'm fi..ne” Maria stammered, she was still scared of Cassian. Cassian didn't talk to her again. His attitude towards her was cold, it was so obvious that he didn't like her, Maria on the other hand wa
