Fate of Two Step Siblings Chapter 43
Victoria POVI watched him as he walked out of the house. I slammed the door shut immediately he stepped out of the house and leaned my back on it. I knew that he was still standing there because I could see his shadow from under the door. I took several deep breaths to calm myself down. I was feeling a lot of emotions.I was angry at him for not believing me and thought that I would make up a lie like that just to spite. I was angry because I thought that it would mean more to him when he finally found out the true reason why we ‘broke up’. But underneath all that I was sad. His last words rang in my mind.“It wouldn’t be fair for me to just judge her based on what you believe happened. She’s my fiancé.”“What do I believe happened?” I said out loud in utter disbelief.He really didn’t believe me. He thought that I was just making up a spiteful story about his fiancé. Why was he so blind to the truth? It was right in front of him, all he had to do was open his eyes to it. I felt a we

Caleb POVIt was my last day in Sedona before I had to travel back to Los Angeles and just like the first night I arrived home, a family dinner was thrown before my flight later that night. There was no real reason for it or occasion to celebrate, my family just liked to meet together. Just like last time, Victoria was notably absent. This time, it was Gloria who asked where she Was and surprisingly, my dad gave the answer.“I bumped into her when I was running errands in town. She sends her apologies, she won’t be able to come for this dinner.”“Did she say why?” Melissa asked, sounding rather disappointed.I was actually surprised that Tori had not filled her mother in on everything that was going on considering how close they were.“No, but to be honest, I didn’t ask. I’m sorry darling. I could call her right now,” my father replied. He looked guilty as hell.“No, it’s fine honey, I’ll give her a ring after dinner. Don’t worry about it," Melissa replied and pecked my dad on the l

Caleb POV By the time I landed in Los Angeles, it was well past one o’clock in the morning. I could barely open my eyes by the time I got to my house. I had called Brianna before I left Arizona so I knew that I would not find her at my place when I arrived which was perfect because I needed to arrange my thoughts before I confronted her. I decided to text her before I lost my nerve. We need to talk. Come over to my place after work tomorrow. At least I had a day to arrange my thoughts and figure out how I would do this without accidentally causing the end of my relationship and engagement. I went to sleep and had to wake up five hours later to go to work. I had a rather slow day which was a relief because of how sleep-deprived I felt. I survived purely on coffee and fumes. I couldn’t wait to get home and crawl into my bed but every time I thought of the difficult conversation that lay ahead of me, I changed my mind. I left the hospital at six o'clock and got to the house thirty

I had not initially intended on staying at Alice's house for so long but she and her husband Ben had been very persuasive and I had a blast with them.

Tom went on a business trip to San Francisco that morning and would not be able to return until Saturday so this was the first night that my mom and Tom would be separated since they got married.

Victoria POV: I have never regretted a decision so fast. It had been three weeks since I had made the decision to start dating again and all the dates had gone horribly. Today’s date was by far the worst one out of all of them. His name was Tony and he lived in Clarkdale. I had matched with him on Tinder and he messaged me immediately. We messaged back and forth for a few days on the app before he asked me on a date. He was a decent conversationalist and seemed interesting enough so I agreed. We set the date for today. We agreed to meet up for dinner in a cute café in Clarkdale, then if the date went well, we would go out for drinks after. The first thing that pissed me off was the fact he was over an hour late. If he had a pressing job like say, pediatric surgery, I would understand but he was an accountant. He worked at a bank so I knew those always closed on time so he had no excuse for his tardiness. After thirty minutes had passed, I called him to ask where he was and he told

Caleb's POVIt was a beautiful Monday morning. I had woken up that day in an excellent mood. Everything was going well for me. My shower was the most relaxing shower I had had in a while and I got ready to leave the house. There was absolutely no traffic on my way to work so I got there a lot earlier than I had anticipated.Since I had time to kill before my shift began, I decided to go to the cafeteria and actually sit down and have a proper breakfast instead of the one cup of coffee that I would usually have because I was in a rush. I ordered coffee and a croissant.My coffee had the perfect cream and sugar ration and the croissant was soft, buttery and flaky. I savoured each bite then after I was done, I went to the attending lounge. When I got there, one of my colleagues informed me that I had been summoned to the chief of surgery’s office.I was a little nervous but I had a good feeling about it. I walked to her door and knocked on it.“Come in!” she said.I walked into the tidy

Victoria's POVI arrived at Charlie’s pub, a cute little bar in Sedona and the place that my girls and I would always meet for cocktails. Samantha was in town for the weekend and we had decided to meet up as per our custom. I was running ridiculously late. It had been an unusually busy day at the bakery and Mrs Pullman was not around so I had my hands full all day.By the time it got to seven o'clock, and I was finally closing up the shop, I was tired to the bone. I went home, and took a quick shower to wash the day off me. I attempted to dry my hair but it was taking too long so I decided to leave it alone and go what I always did in situations like this. I threw it into a ponytail.I knew that it would be a tangled rat’s nest if I let it dry like that but that would be tomorrow's problem. I put on a couple of outfits but none of them were sitting how I wanted them to on my body. I felt so frustrated, that I wanted to cry. I took a couple of breaths to calm myself and decided to keep
Fate of Two Step Siblings Chapter 50
Victoria's POVIt had been a week since Mike stood me up and I was still really bitter about it. I deleted his number and our conversation in an attempt to make it feel better about myself. Maybe if there was no evidence of his existence I could delude myself into believing that the horrible incident never happened.I got home that Saturday, wiped the makeup that I had spent hours on away and climbed into my bed. I cried my heart out into that pillow. The only reason that I agreed to go out with Mke in the first place was because I was trying to prove to myself that I could like someone that wasn’t Caleb.The realisation that I still had feelings for him after all this time scared me shitless. I acknowledged that I had subconsciously been measuring every man up against him but I was trying to change that. That is why when mike came along, I did not think too much of it. I decided to go against my instinct and it had come to bite me in the ass.The worst part was, I couldn’t talk to m

Annabelle who was in a beautiful blush pink poofy tulle dress had a rose stalk in her hand and my son, Liam followed right behind her with a huge smile on his face. When I saw him in his little tux, my heart melted. I couldn't believe that it had only been a year since I gave birth to him. He had gotten Caleb’s brown hair and my blue eye; the best of both worlds. Even at one year old, he had so much personality.He was the happiest baby that I knew. I didn’t know that I could love someone so little so much. Being a mom meant that you literally walked around every day with your heart outside your body.

When I asked Caleb if he saw it too, he told me that it was probably in my head.

Let me know when you’re available.ToriI pumped my fist up in the air. This was huge. I had absolutely no hope that she would text back let alone be open to meeting with me.

They were all waiting for me to shed light on the situation. I was still loss for words. Tori was actually blaming me for what happened to her store. I was in shock.“I don’t know. Tori never told me anything about Brianna threatening her. It’s the first I’ve heard of this,” I finally said.I was having a very hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Brianna could have done something like that. It wasn't like her at all, especially judging from the amount of damage that had been done to the store if my dad’s account of events was anything to go by.“Do you know where Brianna is right now?” my dad asked. “No, I haven’t seen or heard from her since we broke up so I have no way of knowing where she is. Wait, do you guys actually think that Brianna did this? There is no way.”Eric ran his hand

For years, I had dreamed of hearing those three little words from him, and now they were finally coming out of his mouth. "I love you, Tori," he said.My heart leaped in my chest at the sound of his words, and for a moment, I felt like I was floating on a cloud. He loved me. Caleb Stallone actually loved me back.
