Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 83
Emma's POV I was so freaking pissed and ready to be in bed. It didn't help that I was emotionally spent and had been crying almost non-stop for about two hours. Funny shit, and something I won't ever admit to anyone but myself, I wanted to spend more time with Chase. The disrespect was getting over the roof, and I think I had scores to settle with my mom. I admit to never telling her the full details because of Mark. I felt she was gonna do something silly out of annoyance. It was more than just salting up my wounds when Chase confirmed that she did. Why could she have acted like she didn't know anything about it? Why didn't she say anything?I kept mulling over those thoughts in the car with someone I was highly attracted to, and also very repulsed from. I stole glances at Chase, who looked so sinfully sexy. I felt so much desire for him. I knew it had to be the drink. There was no way he was really that goddamn handsome. He looked like perfection. I was almost beginning to f

Emma's POV Nothing mattered anymore. Not the curfew, not anything. Lily was gone. A joke, a really big joke. I sat, almost lifeless myself, outside the hospital. I was having trouble connecting it all. Life was cruel to me. I kept mulling about how horrible my existence was, stopping only to laugh when my brain made the cruel joke that I no longer had to avoid her. She was gone. The universe had done my job for me. It was even funnier to think that I had wished only about two hours ago, to never see her again. I felt like shit. The air in my lungs was stuck, and breathing got increasingly difficult. I thought I was done with the hardest part of the night when we had all those confessions, or confrontations, whatever. Only for that to happen. “Please let's go home.” Chase broke into everyone else's mourning. I cuddled her brother, and he rested his head on my chest. The little boy was a little too fatigued, and had slept off. Tear marks on his face reminded me of how muc

Chase's POV It was a really surreal moment for all of us. Gray was beside himself with grief. Prom was a little over twenty four hours away, it used to be what was on everyone's lips. I remember him telling me that he was thinking about taking the chance to propose to Lily before everyone, just like I did., before shit hit the roof. “Hey man.” I called him as soon as I settled in. I had much explaining to do, to Mrs Linda and my dad. Hearing myself say all the words, almost made me cry. But I had been through worse shit than that in my two decades of living. Nothing could beat holding the body of my mom in my hands as a ten year old. Mrs Linda flinched and winced and groaned and cried in all the right places, puncturing my report. “Thank you,” He said, his voice still sounded very hoarse, I could imagine the effort he put into speaking. “Where are you now?” I asked him. It was a little past midnight, I stayed over at my dads because of Emma, but she was being a bit b

Jessica's POV I threw my phone on the couch as soon as I got back home. It was a hell of a day that began with me nearly dying. I had drunk so much water in the pool that I was still a bit dizzy, a condition my sister googled to be ‘water dizziness’. I spent all the rest of the day recuperating, and then left for Chase's house in the evening. Gray said we were gonna talk, the three of us like it had always been. No Emma, no Lily. I bought the idea because I was a little tired of the whole thing myself. More shocking and disappointing than seeing Lily and Emma was, hearing what she did. I didn't believe she had it in her to two time me. I was grateful for not taking my car along, not like I was in any condition to drive. The ride was everything I didn't think it would be. I felt freed, happy. The nasty weight of resentment and guilt was no more weighing on me. I didn't even have it in me to hate her. It all seemed like a game of survival. “What do you want now?” I asked, pi

Chase's POV “I still do not see how your little story affects me.” I said. He poured me a glass, which I drank up once. “You lot have no more patience these days.” He mused, looking at me. “For how much you hate and resent me, you have a lot to learn from me.” “Oh, I do not think I do.” I was breathing heavily, and baring my teeth at him. “I did all these things,” He said, “just so you and your mom could have a better life.” He shouted, sticking his fingers in my face. “I'm not tryna get fooled by you tonight, Dad.” I placed extra emphasis on the one word that wrongly summarized all he was to me. “You came in here, and you are gonna have to listen to me.” He bellowed. “No!” I screamed, getting up and matching his height, “you listen to me. I have swallowed, and swallowed and swallowed, and I can assure you that I'm in a choke hold. I'm fucking tired, thought you'd be too, apparently I was wrong. You're about to kill my best friend's mom?! Have you no heart? She lit

Linda's POV Peace was a thing I could only dream of. It felt like a distant dream. I had a hunch things were falling apart piece by piece, the constant calls Mark was on, and visits from the police only solidified my suspicions. I thought Mike's case was done with. It was a clear case of suicide. “Chase, please.” I begged on call. “I don't see why I have to do all this pleading to know what's going on, under my own roof!” I exclaimed, I was so fucking stressed. “Today's prom, Linda. I just wanna attend and be happy like every other normal young adult.” He replied. His voice was hoarse, and heavy. “You and I know you're going nowhere near that school, Chase.” I said, discrediting his excuse. “Your ex just died, it's okay to take some time off.” I added. “Not when I have a relationship to fix.” He said, obstinately. “Emma's not going to prom, we both know that. She's been down, refuses to come out of her room. Besides, I think it's time you let go. We've both gotten wha

Chase's POV After speaking to Emma's mom, every tinge of sleep in my eye fled. I had suddenly become the center of everyone's attention. I kept things away from her, not because of how my dad would feel, but how scared she would get. I watched it happen once, I was gonna watch it happen again. It was around eleven am when I called my guy, Gray. I hadn't spoken with him in almost twelve hours. I wanted to know how he got home, and most importantly, how he was feeling. “Hey, what's up?” He picked up the phone. “How are you?” I asked him. I was feeling like a harbinger of bad news. He was still going through Lily's demise, and I was still making my mind up on telling him how stuff was going with the investigation into Mike's death. It was fast becoming a state issue, and one paper already published the story.I hated the popularity it was gaining. It's not what I had in mind when I asked Gray to go on, and even funded it. All sorts of thoughts were keeping my tired eyes wid

Grayson's POV I was so surprised to see Chase. I didn't know what to make of it. I wasn't expecting him. I had spoken to him only a few hours ago. I didn't think any of us still had the strength to be running about like he was. Especially not for that case. It was well underway and I didn't see any reason I should stress myself about it. Uncle Mike was a bit of a criminal himself anyways. Plus we'd done the whole confession thing, and Emma, whose implication I had foremost in mind, being the main reason I decided to look into the case, was someone I had made peace with. Lily wouldn't want me to continue, so I was dropping it in her honor. “Chase, man I have no business with that shit anymore.” I said truthfully. “You can't say that.” He replied. “And since when did you start to tell me what I can and cannot say?” I asked. “That's not what I meant.” He corrected himself. “I'm only saying that it's not right.” “So you now tell me what's right and what isn't?”

Chase's POV “Baby,” I called out to Emma as soon as we got back home, “I hate seeing you this way.” My voice snapped her out of her thoughts, she breathed deep and came out of the car, leaving both her phone and purse behind. “I'm really tired, Chase.” She said, “I just want to rest.” “That's totally fine.” I took all our stuff out of the car and ran after her. Let me help you.” She looked and felt weak. “Thank you.” She said, as I helped her up the stairs. “Can I get you something to eat?” I asked “I don't feel up to it right now.” She replied. “Can I just try?” I asked her. “Don't bother.” She snipped. “Do you need something else?” I asked her. “Just stay next to me.” She said, It felt like an honor to be told such by her. “Let me jump out of these clothes.” I tore the clothes, a reminder of where we'd been and what'd happened. “Pull me closer.” She cried. I pulled Emma so close. Her body felt heavier, and was even warming up. “I'm sorry, Emma.

Emma's POV “Would you have me read the results with him present?” The doctor asked me. “Yeah, he's my boyfriend.” I said, smiling. I rubbed Chase's face, pulling his beards with one hand, and rubbing my belly with the other. “You might want to sit up.” He said. “We are happy you came in for a check up today.” The kind old man said. I smiled. It was a big hospital downtown, fancy and very modern too. I felt more at peace with Chase by my side. “Emma Watson,” He wore the glasses which hung down from his neck and read my name out from a file in his hand, “I'm afraid, but we couldn't find a heartbeat.” I knew nothing about stuff like those. I'd never been or lived with a pregnant woman. I remember the look on their faces while the nurse kept tapping my belly and scanning round, but I didn't think it was a big deal. “What does that mean?” I heard Chase ask as my heart was already shattering, it could only mean one thing. My baby was dead. “Your baby is dead.” The doc

Chase's POVI knew I was kinda weird, maybe a bit confused. But I had genuine reason to believe Emma was doing too much. The food arrived soon, and we went to get it at the door. We were cool just a moment ago. I hate how we weren't yet at the point where we handle our shit maturely. “I'll get that.” I said, reaching for the bigger and heavier boxes. It was only instinctive to be more protective of her. She was carrying my baby. Whether or not we were ready for it. “Emma.” I called her quietly since we weren't both far from the rest’ earshot. “Yeah.” She turned, I saw the tear marks on her face. I was gonna say how I was sorry for blanking out on her, but the words just couldn't get out. “I'm…” I started, looking in multiple directions at once. “It’s okay.” Emma said, and walked in. I took a minute to process what had just happened. “Where were you man?” Gray screamed in delight as I entered. “Been looking in that direction for the past minute.” He added. I kn
Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 101
Emma's POV I hadn't seen a worse expression on Chase's face than I saw when I announced that I was pregnant. Not like he looked disgusted or angry, it was just blank. The kind of blankness that births bad decisions. I literally didn't know how to do it any better. “You're not saying anything.” I croaked, nearly choking on my words. It wasn't exactly the best time to announce it, but I literally didn't know what else to do. The past days had been bliss, so beautiful I held the news back. I was scared of what his reaction would be, which is the exact reason I decided to say so in the midst of people. Chase had his eyes fixed on me, but still it didn't see like he was actually seeing me. “Baby?” I called him. “Uhm, I'm sorry.” He said, “Can we talk about it later?” He asked. “Sure.” I didn't have the emotional strength to even have the conversation at all. “I'll be back.” He said, and kissed my forehead. It was frosty as hell. It didn't feel like the warm lips that k

Chase's POV “Emma?” I called out to her. We'd spent the last two days together. I spent every hour of those days reassuring her that I was there for good. Meanwhile, my dad had been put under house arrest, meaning that we needed to go through due process to see him, or Emma's mother. “Yeah?” She replied softly. “How are you, really?” I asked her. “I remember the first and last time we had a conversation like this.” She said, turning in my sheets. They looked so perfect around her. Two days with Emma, and life was just what it was meant to be. “You were gonna propose the next day.” She said, I searched her face for annoyance, or residual hurt, but there was none. “I had my heart in my mouth all the while.” I confessed. “It's a thing with doing the right thing with the wrong motive.” “Don't ever pull that stunt on me again.” She said, “I swear.” I replied. “Could you please sleep back? I was gonna do a ‘breakfast in bed’ type of thing.” I poured playfully. She ha

Jessica's POV “How was your trip, my love?” My dad greeted me. I had just arrived from a fashion shoot in Paris for Diar. It was a big women's underwear designer brand. I had so many fashion shows and shoots coming up, but I decided to do a stopover cause my PA said my sister had been calling nonstop. Last time I set foot in County was for grad, about two days prior. “Why so friendly?” I asked, everything seemed so fucking weird. From the strange fleet of cars in our garage, to the unfamiliar murmur of men coming from the living room. My dad chuckled nervously, and scratched his bald head with his fat ass fingers. Fingers that held my family together. “There is something we should've told you.” He said, avoiding my eyes. I was still experiencing a bit of jet lag. I'd been in the air for over twelve hours cumulative for the past two days. I even had a shoot midair. It was one of my most exciting experiences. “What is it?” I asked him. I didn't like the look on his face

Grayson's POV “Do you,” The priest said, “Rowena,” it felt strange hearing my moms name, hadn't heard it in over ten years, “take Aldrich to be your husband, to love and hold on to, through the good times and the tough ones, whether you're rolling in dough or just scraping by, in sickness and in health, to stand by his side and love him, as long as y’all both shall live?” He looked at my mom who was already beaming so hard. “Yes.” She replied, holding my dads gaze. They both looked so foolish, so in love, so smitten. “I do.” She added as an afterthought. It made all ten of us in attendance giggle. My dads elder brother doubled as the priest, the ceremony was held on their rooftop. It's been over ten years since I'd been to this part of town. Mark's dad and his men, cracking down on my mom made it an absolute necessity. After Chase left that day, my mom came out to both my dad and I. Mark had attacked her family in Starry, her husband, the bastard, took their two kids and fle

Chase's POV “Chase, please leave me.” She said, It hurt me to hurt her, but seeing her like that was worse. “I can’t, Emma. You don't mean what you're saying.” I said to her, “I sure do, Chase. You're a liar.” He spat in my face. “You can't say that, Lily.” I replied to her. “You didn't just call me ‘Lily’?” She puffed, I knew I had made a very silly mistake. my thoughts were in a whirlwind, and I had also lost control of my tongue. “I’m sorry, Emma. Everything is so mixed up in my head.” I apologized. “Including Lily and I?” She asked in disbelief. “No, Emma.” I said. “I mean, I'm exhausted, I'm tired, I'm so fucking tired.” “That's no reason for you to do that.” Her lips were quaking and she looked away, I think I also saw pity in her eyes. “I'm sorry, Emma. I seem to be making too many mistakes. I'm a mistake, but none of these stops the gnawing feeling in my heart for you. Emma, I've spent lonely nights in this room wishing I didn't do what I did to
Falling For My Stepbrother 1 Chapter 96
Chase's POV “It might be too much for you.” I reasoned, looking away. “Chase, please talk.” Emma's patience had thinned out and I could see it. “Emma,” I started, “the reason we're together today is because of this house.” She looked at me in surprise . “I don't get that.” She said, Normally, I hated when she made assumptions, but this was literally the one time her making assumptions would have suited me, cause the truth was too heavy for me to say. “I mean,” I had been looking for ways to make myself the only bad guy in the story, but her mom had to go down too, “Your mom promised me this house, in exchange for, in exchange for loving you.” I blurted. “What?!” She screamed. “What did you just say?” She asked. “So this has been a whole fucking deal all the while? My mom? No wonder she turned a blind eye to what happened.” Her eyes were glistening, reflecting the little light in the room cause they had tears pooling in them. “I ain't even trippin, it's really something
