Novel & Cerita Four Stepbrothers And I

“Carina, what are you saying?” “I…I don’t know who the father is,” I admitted, my voice breaking. “And it’s not just anyone. It’s…it’s my stepbrothers.” The room went completely silent. For a moment, I thought she hadn’t heard me, but then her face turned pale, and she set her wine glass down with a trembling hand. “Your stepbrothers?” she whispered. “You mean…?” I nodded, unable to meet her gaze. “Liam, Ethan, and Caleb. It…it could be any of them.”

USED BY MY STEPBROTHERS Cindy I hated the idea of my mother getting married again. I voiced out my complaint on the issue several times but she just ignored me and went ahead with the marriage. Now, I have two step brothers. Twins. Kelvin and Melvin. They were both huge and muscular. Tall and handsome. Kelvin was quite nonchalant while Melvin was the good guy. Girls fell for them at every turn including my own friends. It was quite annoying, but I never really blamed them cause damn, their bodies were hot. Their smiles and voices made matters even worse.

I knew I was meeting my step-siblings, but what I didn’t expect was that they would be three strikingly handsome boys around my age. Eddie. Bobby. Chim. The three of them welcomed me with open arms, their warm, masculine scents wrapping around me like a promise. “Wow… our stepbrother is gorgeous,” Eddie said, his tone calm and steady while his eyes held mine in a way that made my stomach tighten. Chim’s handshake lingered far longer than necessary, his thumb brushing over my skin. “I hope we get along… pretty baby brother,” he rasped, his voice low and rough.

With a lot more people, I didn’t feel like I was being watched by anyone, and I felt okay to have a conversation while we still moved together. “Let’s say I have had twenty-four years of experience at being one,” he said with a wink, and I couldn’t help but laugh. Yes, it was settled now. I had two stepbrothers. One Angel and one Devil.

“I was cruel.” The Liam who stood in front of me was a different person from whom I was familiar with. And it was surprising to me. “Why are you doing this?” I asked, holding my plate tightly. “Because I don't want us fighting. We are step-siblings now, so we have no other option than to cooperate and be at peace with each other.” His words sounded awkward in my ears. And from the way his body language came off, I knew his words didn't also seem usual to him.

"That’s bullshit." "It’s not! Our parents are married! You’re my stepbrother! Not just my best friend. I shouldn’t have kissed you to begin with!" I yell, my breathing heavy and my heart trembling from the words that leave my mouth. To my surprise, he chuckles. And he takes a step forward. This time, I don’t move back. I let him close the space between us and his harsh breath blows on my face as he speaks in a low, challenging voice. "Stepbrother? Is that who I am to you? Swear to me that’s who you see me as and I’ll take what you say. I won’t ever touch you again."

Adrian, being all unintentionally charming, had turned our simple tutoring into a chaotic mess. My brain was doing backflips trying to figure out why he had to complicate things. It's just a movie, right? But then I couldn't shake off the feeling that it was more than that. It felt like a puzzle with missing pieces, and I wasn't sure if I even wanted to solve it. I mean, he's my stepbrother now, and we're supposed to be all cool with each other. But there's this weird feeling, like maybe he doesn't get how families work.

The look on his face tells me to believe him. "But … you're my Stepbrother" I managed to say finally. "Fuck! Who makes up these bullshit rules ugh. I'm not your god-damned brother." He shouts. He takes a deep breath then exhales. He runs his tongue over his bottom lip then lowers his voice again. "We're not related. Besides we didn't find out about this stepsiblings relationship until a month ago. I didn't even see you as a sister. You were just some girl I hated because of the way she makes me feel. "

And all my brain can properly align is the word 'Step Brother' "That's because it wasn't required." Dad's voice rings out, slipping me out of my anxious thoughts. "Fucking hell!" "I got married to his mother three months ago. He has four other siblings." "Oh my God, I can't believe I have five step siblings." My words are followed by a long awkward pause as I stare down at the cup of coffee that I have my hands bind around. What was streaming hot earlier when it was served, had turned cold because I had refused to drink out of it.

It felt strangely unfair that the world could keep moving so normally while mine had flipped upside down in less than forty-eight hours. The weight of keeping it all inside felt too heavy to carry alone anymore. I let out a ragged breath and rubbed the back of my neck. "No. The stepfather is fine. He's actually an old neighbor from when I was a kid." I took a shaky breath, finally dropping the real news. "And apparently, I have a stepbrother now." Leo stopped chewing mid-bite. He blinked, swallowed hard, and nearly choked on his drink, slamming the plastic cup down onto the table.
