Semua Bab Ruin Me: My Stepbrother, My Professor: Bab 11 - Bab 20

MIYARA’S POVHe walked over to where I stood in three long strides, looking as if he had just seen a long-lost friend. I was suddenly conscious of how I looked but he had already reached me before I could do anything.“Fuck. Did you get into a fight? Why is your hair looking like that?” His eyes scanned me, lips pressing into a thin line, but there was no real concern in his voice.“What do you want Finn?” My voice felt strange, my throat raw with a reminder of Caden’s ministrations. I didn’t have the strength to argue with Finn right now. I just wanted to get home, take a hot bath, and curl up in bed.He let out a sigh, then brought his phone out of his pocket, raising it in my face. “You’ve not been answering my calls and texts. This… ignoring me thing? Doesn't help.”I stared at him as he took a step closer, trying to hold my hand. I yanked my hand away, taking one step back. “Don’t. We have nothing to say to each other. This was never about us anyway.”He ran a hand through his ha

MIYARAI checked my reflection in the mirror one last time, touching up my lip gloss before I made it out of my room. Isa was not her usual bubbly self. I assumed she was mad about the whole Finn thing and my agreeing to go out with him. She barely spoke to me the whole day.And when I finally headed out of the apartment after Finn’s message to pick me up, the only thing she said was ‘take care’ without looking into my eyes. We rarely argued or had misunderstandings, and when we did, it was over stupid things like me not wanting to go out with her. An Audi RS7 pulled to a stop before me as Finn emerged from the car, looking every bit the flashy person he was. He wore a designer burgundy blazer over a silk shirt, looking every bit ‘I know I look good’.He flashed me a grin before his eyes took in my dress. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought he found me attractive. I wore a forest-green knee-length dress and a simple necklace.“You look….” His eyes swept over me again. “

MIYARAMarcus’s grip tightened on Isa’s arm, his eyes narrowing as they landed on Jace, who stood there mysteriously calm, black sneakers planted like he owned the ground beneath us.“Let her go,” Jace said, voice low and steady, "before I shove your teeth up your ass.” He let the words hang in the air, his gaze fixed on Marcus. “You know I don’t bluff.”A flicker of real fear crossed Marcus’s face. He shifted, uncomfortably. His minions looked ready to piss themselves, recognition flashing in their eyes as they stared at Jace like he was someone they really didn’t want to mess with.“Stay out of this, man. It’s none of your business.” Marcus’s fingers dug harder into Isa’s arm, making her wince.Jace sighed, then flashed that dangerous little grin. “I don’t want this getting messy. So if you know what’s best for you… let her go.”Marcus’s hold loosened. He shoved Isa forward with a rough push, eyes burning into hers. “This isn’t over, Isabella.” He winked, slow and filthy, then jerke

CADENThe second she hung up I was already moving.I’d been here the whole time. How I got in? Didn't take a genius to blend into a party thrown by a bunch of reckless college students. Being a few years older than them made it easier to go unnoticed.I pulled the black cap down over my face as I stepped out onto the balcony, a muscle in my jaw ticking. I’d been in the shadows— watching as her cousin whose skin I was soon going to decorate with her own blood— handed her that red cup.I didn't think she was stupid enough to drink, but little miss gulped it down to prove a point. And now she was writhing and grinding helplessly against the motherfucker who wouldn't leave her alone.I’d almost put my fist through the nearest wall when she kissed him like he was the only thing in the world.And she fucking hung up on me?Sokolov was holding her when I reached them. She was all over him, her arms wrapped around his torso.“I’ve got her man,” I threw her hand over my shoulder before he coul

CADENI watched the cloud drain from her face. Miyara stood frozen in my black shirt, the hem barely covering her thighs. The bite marks on her neck peeked out like my own branding. Her hands shook as she clutched the crumpled photo tighter against her chest, taking two steps back. Her eyes went wide, and she was breathing fast and shallow like she couldn’t get enough air. “Don’t do anything stupid Miyara. Whatever you were looking for,” I looked over her to the open drawer. “You won’t find it.”Her eyes glistened and she sniffed back a sob. She flinched when I reached for her elbow. “Join me downstairs for breakfast in three minutes.” And with that, I clicked shut the door, already on my way to the kitchen.The smell of coffee and pancakes filled the air. I had prepared it some minutes ago and just had to dish it and set the table. Didn’t want my special guest to go hungry after all.After three minutes, a figure loitered behind me, eyes shooting daggers at my back. “Glaring at me w
