All Chapters of Break Me, Step-Daddy : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Lisa's pov I'd barely settled into my chair when Megan dropped a coffee on my desk and gave me that look, the one that said “brace yourself, it's going to be one of those days.”"Erin wants to see you," she said. "He's been pacing his office for the last ten minutes.""Of course he has." I took the coffee anyway. I wasn't in the mood. Not after what Erin did. So when I walked into his office and he started in with that clipped, all-business tone, “Lisa, sit down, we need to talk,” I let him get about four sentences in before I cut him off."If this is about the case again, I already sent you my notes. I don't have time to go over it twice.” I turned to leave. I already had my hand on the door."We found something on Bruce."That stopped me and I turned back slowly. Erin was standing very still, like he'd been waiting for exactly this reaction. "Sit down, Lisa. Please."I agreed to sit."One of the paralegals from the case came to me yesterday," he said, lowering his voice even thoug

Lisa's pov Seeing how determined Erin was to take mum down, I was pumped. So pumped that when he got out all that evidence, my fingers began to twitch.“All of this was provided by a boy?” I asked, staring at the flashdrive and the documents that stacked Erin's table. There was no freaking way in the world that someone would carry such a heavy amount of evidence to his office like that.Like Erin could read my mind, he said. “Don't worry, he didn't bring them alone. I asked Brandon to go with him? That's how all of this got here.”I raised my brows. “Who's Brandon?” He ignored me after that and I knew the name and the man behind it was none of my business.I mouthed a silent “Okay, sorry for asking.” I turned back to the evidence and started digging. In the documents provided, I found falsified signatures of Mr Kent, proving that he was cheated by the other party.“Someone duplicated his signatures and made him look like he had done it? What in the world?” I was utterly shocked.Erin

Lisa's povFor a very good reason, I was glad that I didn't make it home. God knows what kind of ruckus mum and Erin had planned for the night, especially mum.Erin looked too tired to even think about anything so going over to Megan's place was the best plan. Luckily for me, her husband had gone on a business trip so it was just me and my best friend.By the time the night was over, I had gathered all the courage I needed for the next day and everything had been set into motion. By morning, Megan and I drove to work and when I got to the office, Erin hadn't arrived yet. I found myself wondering if mum had him caught up in her drama again.I waited until Bruce had arrived and when he did, I moved immediately wasting not time at all. “Are you ready for this?” Megan tapped my shoulders, ironing them out as she made me go through some nasty procedure to calm my nerves down.Mhm yeah…” I nodded quickly. “I'm fucking calm. I just need to get this over with.”Megan smiled, agreeing with m

Erin's pov Bruce had been arrested and finally, my head was able to find peace. Seeing how Lisa was able to get him arrested like that was shocking. I had always known Lisa to be this strong, independent girl with the tendency to carry on without anyone's help but seeing how she broke down in Megan's arms, I was forced to think otherwise. After that day, we hadn't spoken so well. She never came home, always at Megan's place. It was like we were back to square one again, with her being stubborn and so hard to please. It was almost like she had zoned out and the person I was seeing was the Lisa that harbored so much hatred for me. I needed to play my cards right if I wanted to get back in her good books again. And I needed to be smart about it too. Meanwhile, Julie heard about Bruce's arrest and she hadn't been the same ever since. She had been taking calls and bringing it up on a random day. I mean, I'd be literally sitting in a fucking chair thinking about how I'd put my head

Erin's pov You know that moment when you have this dream where you almost lost your life? I just had one and the only thing that scared me more was leaving her behind.So when I opened my eyes to this fucked reality, the first question that got out of my mouth was her. The nurse looked at me like I was crazy but I wasn't.“I need to see Lisa….” I gasped, trying to catch myself for a minute. It felt like oxygen was being pulled out of me for a minute and I got sucked into a soulless abyss.The nurse's eyes darted from me to the monitor standing beside me. Probably she was trying to see if I was really well or my spirit was speaking from an empty body.“Please…” I added to make it less awkward.The nurse stepped outside and when the door swung open, Lisa's scent filled the room. From where she stood, I felt my chest rise with excitement, seeing her walk in like a little child. Her fingers were knotted together, she had a little fear in her eyes, I knew why she had them.“Hey…” I manag
