Lahat ng Kabanata ng BEG FOR ME STEPBROTHER : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Lisa “What do you mean you’re getting married?!” I screamed, pushing myself up from the chair so fast it scraped loudly against the floor. My whole body trembled, with anger, disbelief and heartbreak, everything mixed together in a way that made it hard to breathe. It’s barely been a year since Dad passed away. A year of mourning, of trying to hold myself together, of pretending I was fine when I wasn’t. And now Mom was sitting at the dinner table in our small apartment, casually dropping the bomb that she was planning to remarry. As if Dad had been… replaceable. “Can you calm down?” she snapped, dropping her fork onto her plate. The sound echoed like a slap. “You’re not a child anymore, Lisa. Stop acting like one.” My vision blurred with tears, I refused to let fall. “Are you crazy?” I slammed my fist on the dining table, the plates clattering. “You can’t just replace Dad like that! You can’t…” My voice cracked. “You can’t pretend like he never existed.” But that was Mom. S

Lisa POV I slowly turned my head to look at her. Childish? Silly? She uprooted my entire life and I’m the childish one? I rolled my eyes and faced the window again. You just wait, Mom. You have no idea what I’m capable of. The car finally slowed down. Tall iron gates opened automatically, revealing a massive estate beyond them. My breath caught. The mansion had huge white stone walls, large windows, balconies, and fountains in the front yard. It looked like something straight out of a billionaire romance movie. The car pulled to a stop and the driver stepped out first and opened Mom’s door. “Welcome home, Madam.” I stepped out of the car slowly, staring up at the mansion. Before we could even reach the front door, two maids hurried down the steps and began collecting our luggage. “Welcome, Madam,” one of them said politely to my mother. Madam. I swallowed the bitterness rising in my throat. This was really happening. And then another sleek black car drove through

Lisa POV I straightened slightly. “You’ll take an entrance exam at the end of the month. Once you pass, you’ll be admitted this year.” Columbia. So it’s really happening. “You’ll resume the following month,” he continued. “Everything has been handled.” Of course it has. Men like him don’t leave things to chance. I nodded slowly. “That’s… impressive.” But inside? My thoughts were racing. New school, new life, new game and now… A stepbrother I needed to avoid. I picked up my glass again, swirling the drink lightly as I stared down at it. When dinner finally ended, I placed my napkin neatly on the table and stood up. “Excuse me,” I said politely. “Of course,” Ramsey replied with a small smile. “Get some rest. It’s been a long day.” My mom just gave me a look, one of those silent warnings. Which meant I should behave but ignored it and turned, walking out of the dining room. I reached my door, pushed it open and stepped inside. Closing it behind me, I let out a

Zayn POV I got even angrier. How could he do this? I had reminded him for weeks. MMB was my favorite cartoon, and they were doing a live show in New York for one night only and he forgot. I turned toward Mom, who was sitting on the couch watching me carefully. “Mom, please take me,” I begged. “Please. It’ll be over before Dad gets back.” “But your father said….” “No, Mom!” I cut her off. “I want to go!” She hesitated. I could tell she didn’t want to upset Dad but she also hated seeing me cry. Finally, she sighed softly and grabbed the car keys. “Okay,” she said with a small smile. “Go get your jacket.” I immediately brightened up. “Really?” “Yes, birthday boy,” she laughed. “Now hurry before we’re late.” That was the last time I ever saw my mother alive. ———————————————— Present Time I shut my eyes tightly. Even after all these years, the memory still hit like a punch to the chest. The rain, the phone call and Dad’s face at the hospital. Everythin

Zayn POV The others started laughing again. “And where exactly did they write that you can’t teach your stepsister a very strict lesson?” Tony added with a smirk. “Y’all are idiots,” I muttered, leaning back in my chair. But annoyingly…My mind immediately betrayed me. Taylor noticed my expression instantly and started laughing harder. “Oh my God,” he said. “You’re actually thinking about it.” “I’m literally not,” I lied. “Sure,” Brian snorted. Jacks leaned forward with a grin. “Anyway, I wasn’t planning on attending your dad’s wedding…” He paused dramatically. “But now? I’m definitely showing up.” Everyone laughed again. “You people seriously need help.” I said rolling my eyes. “No,” Taylor said. “You need help. Because from the way you’re talking about this girl, she’s already in your head.” “She’s not in my head,” I shot back immediately. “She framed you, threatened you, ignored you and survived your attitude in less than twenty-four hours,” Tony pointed
