Chapter 11 - Burning Jealousy

Vera's POV"What?" He asked, looking at me like I was a nuisance with one eyebrow raised.I took quick steps and went to open the passenger’s door beside the driver and made myself comfortable without a word. He slid into the car and started the ignition without another word."That was so unnecessary." He said in a cool voice as he had driven outside the estate with his eyes fixed ahead on the road.I shrugged my shoulder in an "it is what it is" way and said, "I didn't want you to leave me behind like you almost did yesterday."He didn't say anything, he just continued driving, one hand on the steering wheel while the other rested on his lap with his fingers tapping to whatever rhythm played through his airpods.The rest of the ride was silent. I watched the buildings blur past the window and I couldn't help stealing glances from time to time at his jaw, his fingers, anything to keep my mind off how close he'd held me that morning from time to time. He didn't even look at me once.Th

Chapter 12 - On My Knees For Him

Vera's POVI walked into the library and I won't lie, it was grand. The ceiling stretched high above me, lined with shelves that almost touched the top. An woman that probably will be in her 40's sat behind the front desk with her nose buried in a book, not even looking up when I passed. I turned and walked toward the left wing.The library felt empty, there were no students in it at the moment, probably because it was lunch hour. I walked all the way to the far end of the west wing, shelves rising on both sides of me like walls. I took out my phone to text Liam and ask where he was when a hand grabbed me from behind and pulled me back. I opened my mouth to shout, but a large palm held it before any sound left me. My back hit a warm chest, and when I turned my head… I was face to face with Liam. With our noses almost touching.I mumbled against his palm, telling him to let go. He leaned closer, his breath brushing my ear.“Calm down. Don't talk too loud.”He pulled his hand away s

Chapter 13 - Broken Glass, New Friend

Vera's POVI looked at him, confused. "Stop what?""Whatever this is between us.""Why should we, all of a sudden?""We almost got caught. And we're step siblings.""But we didn't get caught, and I already agreed to keep us being step siblings a secret." I raised my hand to touch his chest, but he stepped backward, putting space between us."I'm serious. You should head back to class."He turned his back and started to leave, his shoulders stiff…. but I couldn't help but ask, then he stopped mid-step."What were you and Sarah talking about this morning? Is that why you suddenly want this to stop?"His hands curled into fists at his sides and he said in a controlled voice like he was holding something heavy behind his teeth."We had a deal. Make sure you keep to your end of it."I watched him walk away until he disappeared around the corner."Damn it." I dragged a hand down my face.Liam was such a dickhead, even though I liked him. One minute we were tangled up in each other, breathle

Chapter 14 - Caught Trying

Vera's POVToday is Friday, the last day I have to go to school this week.After the day at the library, Liam has been avoiding holding conversation. All we do is go to school and come back. Nothing more.I wouldn't lie, it was getting to me.I walked out of my room with a book in my hand and stood in front of Liam's bedroom door. I made sure I woke up earlier than usual, because I now know he leaves his room early to get a drink from the kitchen.I stood there for a moment, took a breath, then opened three buttons of my shirt, enough to show skin. I pushed the door open and walked in.He sat behind his desk, writing something with concentration and frustration written on his face. His head snapped toward the door the moment it opened.I shut the door behind me."What are you doing in my room?" he asked, his pen still in his hand."I need your help.” I said as I walked closer to where he sat and I couldn't help but stare at his shirtless upper body. He wore just loose shorts, my eyes

Chapter 15 - Mum, Liam and A Morning I didn't Plan

Vera's POVI could feel the hair on my back rise. I turned back to look at him."Forgot what?"Without thinking, I stepped closer. The space between us was gone and our bodies were almost touching. And my stupid heart was beating so loud, I could hear it.For a second, neither of us moved.Then Liam lifted his hand between us, putting some distance back. "Your book."I blinked, my eyes moved to his raised hand.He had my book in his hand.I quickly grabbed it, but before I could say a word, someone knocked on the door.I quickly snatched the book from Liam's hand and stepped back from him fast.Liam didn't even flinch. He simply walked to the door and opened it.A smile appeared on his face right away."Good morning, Alyssa.""Good morning, Liam."My mum's cheerful voice floated into the room. "Is Vera in there with you?"My eyes went wide.Without wasting a second, I squeezed through the small gap between Liam and the door. The space was so tight I almost tripped. As I pushed past hi

Chapter 16 - Unsure and Craving Him

Vera's POVThey walked into the building holding hands.Sarah was looking all happy. Her fingers were locked with Liam's, and for a second, I couldn't look away.Then they stopped walking.A male student came up to Liam and pulled him into a conversation. Sarah stood beside him, smiling and adding small comments here and there.Until her eyes found mine.A slow smile spread across her face. The kind of smile that made my stomach twist.She let her gaze slide over me, then lifted her hand and touched Liam's jaw, slow and easy, like she had every right to.My blood ran cold. I didn't feel angry or betrayed instead I felt unsure.Liam ended things between us. Then he went straight back to Sarah? He prefers going back to his failed relationship than giving us a try?The thought sat heavy in my chest as I stayed rooted on the spot where I stood.Around me, students were already talking."They are really back together. They can't resist each other.”“Team they separated forever are going to

Chapter 17 - The Golden Spot

Vera's POVI looked up and knew her right away. It was the girl from the other day. Queen.A smile tugged at the corner of my lips. "Hi.""You're going to the cafeteria, right?""Yes."Before I could say anything else, she slipped her arm through mine and locked our hands together. "Let's go together."A small laugh escaped me. "Okay."She grinned and practically pulled me toward the door. We walked out of the classroom together and joined the crowd of students moving through the hallway.The corridor buzzed with noise. Students talked loudly, some stood in little groups by the lockers while others hurried past with food already on their minds.I quietly followed Queen's lead. I hadn't been to the cafeteria since I started school. As we walked, I noticed students glancing at me. Some whispered, ohers just stared. I ignored them as I was already used to it.We were almost at the big doors at the end of the hallway when Queen suddenly pointed at a group of girls pretending not to look

Chapter 18 - Dance class

Vera's POV"That his dad owns the school?" I asked, looking at her curiously.She smacked her forehead. "Of course not, silly," she laughed, shaking her head. "Liam is on the school's football team and, he is the captain."I gave her an unimpressed look.She narrowed her eyes at me. "Don't look at me like that.""I'm just listening," I said."You don't understand." She folded her arms and leaned closer to me. "He's amazing on the field. When he plays, it feels like the whole game belongs to him. Once Liam steps onto the pitch, everyone already believes we're going to win.""Oh?" I said, raising a brow."I'm serious," she went on, her eyes lighting up. "There was one game against another school where he got hurt halfway through. The coach told him to sit out and rest, but he walked right back onto the field to play."Then she paused, like she wanted me to feel the moment too. "And guess what happened?"I tilted my head, waiting."We won," she said proudly."Oh..." I murmured."And he's
