My Stepsister Stole My Groom のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

LUNETHI put Aria to bed and went back downstairs. Today had been exhausting, but I did not want to seem rude. Drexon had said that Marcus came over to say hello to me, and as much as I would like him to leave, I did enjoy his presence. I was just a bit too tired to soak all of it in.Both men are sitting silently alone in the living room with a cup of whisky or a scotch in hand; I could not tell the difference, and I did not want to bother to know the difference. They seem like they were both in their own worlds."I thought you had retired to bed. What are you doing here?" Drexon said as soon as I got into the room. I have to say he is good at noticing people's presence; it was kind of scary."We have a guest; I can't just go, I say, sitting on the single sofa, allowing them to enjoy the long sofa."Of course you can," his voice was flat."Drexon, I think that's rude; if I have a guest, I should make sure they are comfortable,, I say, and Marcus smiles at me before hitting his friend

LUNETH"I seriously underestimated how much work this would be," I tell Drexon as he helps me clean up after the girls who had been partying. They had gotten tired after and gone in to watch television, forgetting all about the party in a heartbeat, and soon their parents were showing up ready to take them home.I know that I might be paranoid, but I see the way some of the moms look at me during pickup; it's almost as if they sent their children here so they could take a look at me and continue gossiping. There is no evidence, but I see it."Next time, I think maybe you'll take that into account before agreeing to her demands." His response is flat, and I roll my eyes."At least the kids had fun, and it is now a hundred percent certain that I am her favourite," I say with a gleeful expression. I can tell that he wants to argue, but he does not."You know the staff can clean this up, right?" he asked as he walked over to drop some of the party supplies into the big hamper."You don't h

LUNETH"Mom? What is this?" Drexon faces his mom squarely, ignoring Mlajore, who is trying to get his attention. She looks a little bummed out that he was not paying attention to her, but she was sure that she was winning."I told you a guest," Rose smiled at her son, holding his hand gently. He removed his hand from hers and took a step back."Why would you bring her here?" Drexon sounds annoyed. I have seen him annoyed a few times, but this seems different. I see the way his jaw tightens, and his grip on my hand tightens."She's a friend.""Whose?" Drexon screams at his mom, narrowing his eyes. "Because she is not mine, she is not my friend, and you know this.""Yes, that is because she is more to you.""Then why are you doing this?" Drexon asked again. Everyone was watching the words being thrown by the two of them, no one daring to step in. "You know that you can't do this.""Why can't I?" Rose asked, tilting her head. I could see where Drexon got his aura from. This woman was old,

DREXONLuneth had fallen asleep on my chest, but I could barely get any sleep. I thought that I had only wanted this to happen because of how high the tension between us had been last night, but now that I hold her close to me, I can't help but want this forever. I felt at rest; my mind was strangely quiet. I was not plotting how to take revenge on Maljore or stay alive in this timeline; all I wanted to do was hold her even tighter. Her hair is sprawled all over behind her as one hand casually lingers on the rest of my chest.I look down at her face, so peaceful with her eyes closed. She was sleeping so soundly, and something in me broke. 'What if you fail to protect her?' My heart broke as my mind raged the thoughts at me. 'What if you brought her to your world only to break her?' I shake off the thoughts and close my eyes, but the joy I feel keeps me awake.A few moments later, I feel her stir by my side. She pushes herself back and is about to escape, but my eyes fly open and I catc

LUNETHThe next few days are a bit too quiet; it makes me nervous, but I am enjoying the moment of getting closer to Zayden. Even though his walls are still high up, I keep watching him crack at intervals around me. I now drop them off at school; even though Drexon is uneasy, he has cars tail me around whenever I am out and about. The Maljore situation had been in the news, but Drexon proved to me again how different we are and how powerful he is. With one phone call, he was able to put all of it behind us, and I did not have to worry about my name being dragged all over the internet, at least for now."Maljore coming into town isn't good news." He did not want to scare me, but even with all I had seen about her, I did not need any special interpretation to know she was bad news. "So keep your security detail with you at all times."I did not like it, but I did not argue at all. I was driving back from the kids' school when Lucy called; she needed more money. I knew she would come up w
