My Stepfather And His Friends Novels & Stories

He faced my step brothers, but with the way they glared at him, he quickly looked away. “Mum, Dad, this is Finn,” I said to them. “Wow, please sit.” Dad said and Finn sat next to me. “He looks decent, you must be from a good family.” “My father is Mr. Patrick Horns from the State Senate.” Dad’s brow raised in satisfaction. “My guess was correct.” “They’re such a nice fit for a couple, aren’t they?” Mum asked as she nudged Dad slightly. Dad chuckled and nodded. My face turned red. This was going well, but not for my step brothers. They were eating their food furiously without even looking at us.

The father had given me a killer gaze, his stoic demeanor wasn’t friendly. And the reason I’d added his stepmother to the list is, she might be an enemy too, anyone close, especially a wife to a heartless beast like that man of a father is surely part of him. I stood up from the bed and looked at the traces of names I have done, I was proud of myself. Surely one of them was his accomplice and I’m surely going to catch them one step at a time. I opened my room door to tell my friend I’m going back to the estate, but I met her occupied, now kissing Sammy on the dining table. Gross.

I doubted it. “I run an events company,” I replied, keeping my tone steady even though my pulse was racing. “Small parties, corporate functions, that sort of thing.” “Impressive,” he said, eyes holding mine a beat too long. “Takes a lot of dedication.” Mum smiled between us, completely oblivious. “See? I knew you two would get along.” I stared at my plate, food suddenly looking impossible to eat. The man I’d slept with. The man I’d insulted and paid off like some cheap mistake. He was going to be my stepfather?

As he left the room, the three men turned their full attention to me. The tattooed one leaned closer, voice low and smooth. “So… how long have you been fucking your stepdad?” The question hit me like a slap. I sat there, surrounded by strangers, heart pounding, body aching, and realized I was moving right on the edge of something I might never come back from. Upstairs, I heard footsteps. Chloe was moving around. And downstairs, three men were waiting for my answer.

My stepfather looks between us, his gaze lingering on Josh before settling on me. “What are you doing down here?” “I heard the noise from upstairs,” I reply. “I wanted to see what happened.” “Nothing happened. I was handling a private matter.” “Who was that man?” His expression changes. “What man?” “The one who just left.” My stepfather studies me for a moment before answering. “A business associate. You don’t know him, and there is no reason for you to be concerned about my business.” “Does your business have anything to do with my father?”

In the right order at roughly the right speed, the last one landing underneath the third the way it is supposed to, the way it does the thing it does. My father says: "Oh." Just that. The same syllable he produced at a kitchen counter last Wednesday when I told him I was going to ask him to walk me down the aisle. Kane, from the doorway: "Show-off." And Richie, from the sofa, quietly, to nobody: "She got it in two." *** We stay in there for another hour. I do not remember what we talk about. That is not the part I kept. What I kept is this: a room in the east wing of a penthouse I was brought to as collateral, with the door open, and four people in it, three of whom did not exist in my life

"You're already halfway to comforting her. You've already decided whose side you're on." "I'm not on anyone's side—" "Then why are you standing closer to her than to me?"
