Alle Kapitel von CRAVING MY BULLY STEPBROTHER : Kapitel 121 – Kapitel 128

ISABELLEI stared at the shoes Silver had given me, with my legs against my chest as I sat on the sofa.They were breathtakingly beautiful.It was a shining black that seemed to reflect things like glass, while diamond stones were hitched all around the heel, and the straps that held my foot to the heel. Why had he spent so much money just to get me a shoe when mine had broken?Was Genevra really right?Ever since she'd told me that, I couldn't seem to look Silver straight in the eye. I'd simply thought his ears turning red were because he was a sucker for attractive girls. To think he actually had a thing for me…“Genevra, I'm engaged. I have a fiancee." I'd told Genevra She looked shell shocked “You what?" None of them really believed me. They thought I was joking around. At least, Genevra seemed to believe me.Sadly, he'd gotten the shoes, but she promised she'd be careful around doing things that would seem like she was putting us together.My phone rang, breaking me out of

ISABELLEEver since that weekend I spent with Lucas by his side, seeing things directly for myself, my disposition about him changed completely. Taking such good care of him was indisputable.Even on days when we couldn't do our nightly video calls, or days he couldn't text just as much, instead of feeling abandoned, I felt worried.I was doing more of checking up, and making sure he was eating and not getting injured daily. The next phase of my life however was unraveling alongside his. One evening, the girls and I were out on the balcony. Lucy and Hera were talking about something I had completely no interest in, while Angie and I were trying out new candy, while discussing which was good, and which wasn't. Of course, she was using the notepad, but this time, she was more comfortable, and even laughed. The first time Angie laughed. I felt something deep in my chest shift. She could talk. She could make sounds, but she just wouldn't. What happened to make her do that? Either w

ISABELLE“Lucas Graham?" He asked, and his eyes went to my hand looping through Lucas'. "Your Fiance is Lucas Graham?”"Yes. Lucas meet…" “Silver Cronin," Lucas said. “You know each other?" I asked, looking from one man to another. “No. I know your dad. Your dad probably knows mine too," Lucas said, holding his hand out to Silver to shake. Silver held out his gloved hand.“Nice to meet you in person, Lucas Graham," Silver said. “Same." Okay, now it was weird. I couldn't even find one thing to say. "I actually came to congratulate your fiancee, and give her a gift. Is that fine?” My heart dropped.Okay, I didn't expect him to say that!I didn't want Lucas thinking we were on gifting terms. What was it with men and gifting me stuff??"Oh, you can have her attention then,” Lucas turned to me, "I'll be in the car. I'm freezing anyway,” he said with a charming smile, and a wink. My heart skipped.What was that wink? I'm watching you even when I can't see you?I trust you?"We c

ISABELLEBeneath the post were more old photographs of us resurfacing. My past was coming back to me faster than I was ready to accept.I lost my balance a bit, my phone thudding on my desk. “Deep breaths, Isa. Deep breaths." Things were spiralling way too fast.The world was spinning. It was just one photo!Just a single photo of two innocent people in love, and everywhere on the Internet was my face. Lucas' call came in. I simply stared at it, my heart thudding.Could I talk to him right now?Honestly, no. I didn't want him to worry. But if I didn't pick his call, he'd worry more, and who knows, he may think he had to come home.Quickly, I turned on my monitor, scattered a few files on the desk, and sat myself back in my chair.Then I picked the call."Sorry, I was in the bathroom,” I said, avoiding looking at him, so he wouldn't see through me."What are you doing? Have you seen the Internet?”"Uh, I'm currently editing. My deadline is in two hours, and I'm far from done. I'
