Falling for My Mafia Stepbrother 26 Running into Him Again
The locker door had the word "B.ITCH!" scrawled across it in thick, red paint, along with other offensive slurs and scratches. I glanced around, trying to understand what was going on. People avoided my gaze, but their faces showed a hint of satisfaction.My chest felt tight, as if it was stuffed with cotton, unable to breathe freely. Nobody would give me an explanation, and all I could do was yank the locker door open. Inside, my things were in disarray, some of them ripped apart. And someone had even placed a dead rat in there.I gripped my bag strap tightly, my nails digging into my palm. It didn’t hurt at all. I suddenly felt that I couldn't stand it anymore. But right now, I had to get to class. I hastily cleaned up my locker and left.When I walked into the classroom, the teacher asked everyone to welcome me back, and only a few people clapped.I knew whoever was behind all this had been waiting for my return. But they were wrong if they thought I’d crumble because of this. That

The next time I ran into Joseph was at school, and I learned he was the vice-captain of the baseball team. Oh, and the day after our run-in, we sat on the bleachers and exchanged names.I asked him, "Why did you help me that day?"He laughed sheepishly, looking a little naïve. "I actually recognized you, Harper. I attended the same summer camp as Matthew once. We saw each other as rivals, so when you started dating him, I knew about it."Our meeting felt almost premeditated, and I found it hard to be happy about it."So, you saved me because of Matthew? Was it some kind of competition?"He waved his hands in a panic. "No, no, Harper, it wasn’t like that at all. We weren’t even in the same sport. I just thought you seemed friendly and pretty. I just wanted to help, and I would've stepped in for any other girl too. I swear."He looked even more frustrated as he spoke."But because it was you, I had a bit of a selfish motive. I've heard things about you lately—Sophia's been spreading rum

The next morning, Marco drove me to school. He looked serious, like he was on some kind of important mafia mission.I deliberately wore a ballerina-style dress and put a lot of effort into getting ready. When we got to the school gate, I was surprised to see Joseph waiting for me there.It made me think about Matthew. When we were together, everything seemed fine, but whenever I had issues with someone, he always took their side, telling me not to make a fuss. After we broke up, Angelo sent someone to scare him away, to make sure he stayed away from me. He’d been begging me to get back together just the day before but quickly promised he'd never see me again after that.So now, when it comes to men, actions speak louder than words.Joseph was doing more than I could've expected. I never asked him to wait for me, but there he was, looking like a puppy waiting for his owner, pacing around. My heart felt a little warmer.Just as I was about to get out of the car, Marco grabbed my wrist.
Falling for My Mafia Stepbrother 29 I Hate That I Love You
Marco’s POV I was sitting in the back seat of my car, working on some business while waiting for her after school. But instead, I got an unexpected visitor.Joseph, his face bruised, looked a bit dazed. I internally scoffed—what an i.diot. I raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you want?""I need to talk to you." He still had that dumb look, and the smell of antiseptic was clinging to him."Oh? Changed your mind? Or did you mess up and now you need my family to clean it up?" The more I looked at him, the more annoying he seemed."I'm leaving the country," he stuttered out. "I haven’t told Harper yet, but I wanted to talk to you first. My mom found out I’ve been in fights a lot recently, so she applied for a new school for me. I’m moving to the UK soon. I wanted to ask you, do you even know Harper is getting bullied every day?"The mocking smile on my face froze. "What do you mean?""Today, her ex-boyfriend and her so-called best friend called her a homewrecker. I got into a fight wit

Harper's POV "Mom, I need to talk to you." As soon as I got home, I went straight to my mother. She was the only one who could make me feel warm and safe."I don’t want to go to school anymore. Can you get me a tutor instead? Exams are coming up soon anyway."I looked at the message Joseph had sent me again. Sophia had gone to Joseph’s mom and his mom hates our relationship. He would be leaving to study abroad soon. If all went well, he would get into Oxford."Harper?" My mom’s voice brought me back. She entered the room, holding a glass of milk."Sweetie, do you have something else to say?""Mom, I want to go study in the UK. I just need some time away, and I want to focus on my studies."I buried myself in her arms, letting her warm, scented hands pat my back gently."My darling, I know you’ve had a lot on your mind since the wedding. If you want to go, then go."She pulled my blanket up. "Don’t worry, I won’t tell your father or your brother."I nodded.Time went by quickly. Months
Falling for My Mafia Stepbrother 31 Making Love
Marco's POV When I saw her lying on the ground, it felt like all the blood in my body started flowing in reverse. If David hadn't held me back, my first instinct would have been to run over and rescue her, even before taking down those bastards.Sophia had always been foolish, and this time was no different. If it weren't for the trouble caused by the person with her, I would've arrived even faster. The transfer amount was fake, and she didn’t even notice. I had hired some experts in hacking, and when I tracked Harper's location, I informed my father and mother.That's when I learned she had been planning to go to the UK to study behind my back. But all of that didn't matter compared to her safety. I only hated myself for not being the one she could trust.I shot Sophia dead, but the man by her side managed to escape. David and his men went after him. I picked up Harper, her skin scorching hot and her back soaked in cold sweat.The accompanying doctor checked her briefly and said she'
Falling for My Mafia Stepbrother 32 I Won't Let You Leave Me
"You're awake?"When I opened my eyes again, a face was right in front of me, close enough that I could feel his breath against my ear. My mind started to clear, and I remembered what had happened yesterday. I pulled the blanket around me and tried to inch away.He reached out and pulled me back closer, "What's this? Regret after making love with me?"I buried my head in the pillow without making a sound, but deep down, I was full of regret.Ah, Harper, how could you make those sounds last night?But... just thinking about what happened last night made my body start to react. My core felt wet again. So this is what s.ex feels like... but the fact that it was my stepbrother who brought me this pleasure—that made it all the more frustrating. This wasn't how things were supposed to be.I mustered the strength to sit up. "Just pretend that nothing happened last night, okay? You didn't lose anything."The smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression that scared me
Falling for My Mafia Stepbrother 33 I Agree to Marry
"Harper, I want to apologize for what happened this time." He lowered his head, making me feel uncomfortable.“You… you don’t need to do that.”He placed his hand on top of mine, giving it a few comforting pats."I know you value a peaceful life. Without your permission, I brought you into our family affairs, and you’ve suffered a lot because of it. But I hope you understand—I’ve always wanted a daughter. Marco became distant after his mother died; it’s something he’s never let go of."“He… he mentioned it to me.” I thought about how I had run off that day and felt my face flush with embarrassment.“He really likes you. As a father, I’ve failed in not noticing his feelings for you sooner. I always thought you two disliked each other. But Marco has always cared for you. When you were betrayed by your ex-boyfriend, it was Marco who found someone to teach that boy a lesson. And as for Angelo…”He suddenly sighed, and I realized how distant that name felt.“Has Marco told you about the fe
