MY STEPBROTHER'S RETURN EXPLANATIONS
“The issue goes beyond clearing my name, Father. If going out there and speaking the truth and everyone believing me was as easy as said, I would have done that a long time ago to save you both and Joe from all this,” I explain.He slightly wiggles his head, gesturing to me that he does not understand what I am driving at or what I am going on about. “What is so hard? What is so hard about telling the truth?”“It is so hard, Dad. It is so hard for people to believe you if you have been framed in such a way like mine.”They look at each other, confusion settling between them. “Framed? What are you talking about? Do you want to mean that you didn’t cheat on Leon and that you didn’t break that man’s head? Are you saying that someone is unjustly tarnishing your name for nothing?” Father asks.I take a deep breath, balancing my emotions. “You taught me values, Dad. You taught me how to respect myself and how to carry myself as a woman of dignity and class. You and Mom taught me all the mor

“I know that you picked him from the streets and that you gave him everything. Even the guts that he has right now to ruin you!”Shit!He knows. And I should not have underestimated him. He is Mr. Montana! Everything that money can buy, he can have it all in a snap. That includes digging up any shit about anything or anybody. And here I was, thinking that my sescre was safe. Love indeed had turned me stupid and blind.“I am sorry, Father. I failed you, and I failed myself. This is all my fault for loving wrong,” I apologize, sincerely.He reaches for my hand across the table, squezzing it. A gesture that I appreciate so much. Because I missed this closeness. I don’t know how I have survived all these five days without it, but I can tell now that I was dying inside. I hug his hand back.“You were in love, my child. I just wish that you trusted your father from day one. We probably would not be here. But what is done is done now. We need to pick up the broken pieces and move on. As for

I walk out of the office with a smile on my face. Resolving the misunderstanding with my father feels like the heaviest load has been lifted off my shoulders. I am finally feeling like Montana—powerful and untouchable. Now I have my father’s understanding and support. My enemies better get ready.I mumble a prayer to the heavens when I don’t run into Rina or that gross ex-friend of mine, Janie. I don’t want anything to ruin this smile. I want to go home and plan an insane, shameless plan to get this Rina out of this place. I need her to have the grand exit of her life. One that she will never forget. One that will make her curse the day she decides to mess with Belladine Montana. A dose bitterer than the one she and Leon served me.From a distance, I spot some people behind the gate pointing fingers toward me. Well, I am not sure. I mean, this is a resort—the biggest one there is in the city. They must be showing their interests and admiring them. Everything is to be admired here—from

I drop my hands from my face, and I look through the crowd, wanting to say something, to scream for them to stop. My vision is blurred, but through the haze, I see them before I even formulate what to say.Rina. And Janie.They are standing at the edge of the crowd, just watching. Rina’s face has that slight smirk, barely there, but I see it. And Janie—cold and distant, her arms crossed like she is watching something she has no part in. But I know better. They are behind this. I can feel it deep in my gut.The humiliation burns through me, hotter than the sting of the tomatoes. I try to wipe my face again, but more rotten fruit flies toward me. One hits my leg, another my back. I stumble, barely managing to stay upright."Bitch!" someone shrieks, and the crowd surges closer."You are getting what you deserve!""Cheating slut!""Leon is better off without you!""Trash!"Their voices are everywhere, surrounding me, drowning me. I try to shield myself, but it’s useless. I feel someone pu
Last Updated : 2025-03-04MY STEPBROTHER'S RETURN KICKED OUT
The drive has been quiet all the way through, with me battling with the weight of the abhorrent events that just took place. The ringing sounds of the insults from those stupid people are still haunting me. Joe has been holding my hand for as long as I can remember, demonstrating his comfort. The whole car is filled with this gut-choking smell. At some point, I shed tears because I don’t deserve this at all.Finally, Joe and I pull up in front of the condo. We park, and he is quick enough to get my door. I am still barely covered in his coat, but it is not helping much. Everyone stops on what they were doing in awe of us. That is what I have become now—a center of attraction. Murmers erupt, people wrinkle noses from the smell I am reeking, eyes grow intense on me, while some turn their faces away from me.I try to hug the little courage that I have and keep my head a little bit high, although I am dying inside. Joe’s tries to keep a straight face, lightening the moment a little. His h
Last Updated : 2025-03-04MY STEPBROTHER'S RETURN FINDING HOMAGE
The car is moving through the quiet streets, and the city lights are fading into the distance. I was able to control Joe hours ago, but he insisted that we take all the time that we needed to pack and prepare to leave. And I didn’t have a way of objecting to that. He sent me to the shower immediately to wash off that gull-ripping odor I was reeking while he did the packing. Then we stayed, almost in silence, perhaps wondering how and when this would all end, until darkness started crawling in.He did not let me stress over the luggage still. He carried the heavy suitcases and loaded them in the car all by himself, and then we set off, took innumerable rounds in the city, trying to get our minds together, and finally took off to this road.Joe’s hands tighten on the wheel, his eyes focused ahead. The silence between us feels heavy, thick with unspoken thoughts. I glance at him, but he doesn’t look back. I know he is still angry about what happened. I know he is still wishing that he ha

*FLASHBACK*“Please, I beg you, don’t do this.” My mother’s voice cracks with desperation, her hands trembling as she clutches the front of his shirt. “We are your family. A distinguished family with a name to protect. I am your only wife, and our daughter, Bella, is your only child. How can you tell me that you have some woman and another child somewhere?”“Dad has another family?" I think out loud, covering my mouth and hoping that I wasn’t too loud, which, gladly, I wasn’t because they didn’t hear me. That is quite some news. They don’t know that I am here, and that allows me the privilege to get more news.My father stands tall, his face tinged with some regret. “Mariam, I am sorry, but it is what it is, and I could no longer bear keeping you in the dark.”He reaches for my mother’s face, which is drenched in tears. It is the very first time I have seen my mother cry. The first time I saw my father hurt my mother like this. This is tearing me into pieces too. I am hurt too. I am h
Last Updated : 2025-03-04MY STEPBROTHER'S RETURN THE CAUSE OF HER HATRED
We are seated on the couch. We just prepared one because I know this conversation will not be easy. Staring at Joe, my heart continued pounding with the weight of the memories I had long been buried. I know the truth will hurt him, but I guess he finally deserves to know where my hatred for him and his mother was drawn from. He has it. I owe him that."Talk to me," He says after a long while.I take in a deep breath, my eyes averting his. "You and your mother were the cause of our family's rift, Joe." I blurt out, my voice shaking. The words feel heavy, but there is no stopping them. Joe sits still, his eyes filled with hurt and confusion, just like I anticipated"You were a mistake that was not supposed to happen," I continue, trying to keep my voice steady. "As young as I was, I had grown so attached and possessive of my family. And then I just overheard the breaking news that another child was about to sneak into my family and I had to share my family with him. That alone was somet

MY STEPBROTHER'S RETURN END OF THE LIES
“Um, my dear?” His father calls, and I turn to her, leaving Rey’s eyes scorching my skin. “I think it is time. And forgive me once again, but hold nothing against your friend. She is a good soul. I just needed to get to the root of all this, and I knew she was the only person who had the answers that I sought, aside from you, of course. She means well.”I knew it was. “So, this happens to be the evidence that you have been telling us about, Irma? What is this all about? Where did that come from? Why do you have an old check for this huge amount from our company?” Ana asks.Well, I had not anticipated this happening any sooner, but I guess my father-in-law and my friends planned this well. I can’t lie anymore.I turn to Rayafter looking at these two women, who look like they are about to pee in their pants. “I am…”“She asked me for the money. She blackmailed me!” Katherine snaps, confusing everyone.Even I am confused by her guts! I blackmailed her. With what? Or for what? She is so s
MY STEPBROTHER'S RETURN THE SECRET IS OUT
The three of us once again trade quizzical glances. There is more.“What?” We all trace our heavily pregnant gazes to Katherine as she whimpers, “This joke is the worst of the pains, so what more is there, Mazur?” She asks.A joke? She is still refusing to believe that he is divorcing her, even with the divorce headline in bold and staring right through her eyes. Not even his serious tone is enough to convince her. Poor woman! I wonder how she does not collapse after the next blow, and I am also eagerly waiting to know what it is.“I have frozen your cards, Katherine. From this moment on, you have nothing. You are barred from coming close to any of my companies because I have erased your name from everything that has my name on it. As for your children, I will leave it to them to decide. I want you to sign these papers and get out of my house.”Mr. Mazur’s words hang in the air like a heavy cloud. Silence has been the only sound for a long time. Fear and questions linger in the room.
MY STEPBROTHER'S RETURN ONE BATTLE WON
“You can’t do that!” Tarah screams, springing to her feet. “You know that you need us. You need the support of my family for this business. You can’t terminate this agreement. You can’t…”“Your parents and I, young lady,” Mr. Mazur cuts the hysterical parrot off, “have already talked. We agreed that this agreement was a mistake. It is not working. Since this mess has also touched their family because you are in the picture, they agreed to end it in peace and set our children free. We will refund all the investments that your company made in our empire once we do our calculations, and that will be the end of it. For now, all you both need is to sign the papers and go your separate ways.”Hello, to the moon and stars. Here I was thinking that I would be the one to have this bitch divorce my man, but it seems like the stars and the moon were working on my case. Blessed be unto the heavens and to this man as well. God, please restore his health so that he can witness and be a part of the
MY STEPBROTHER'S RETURN MARRIAGE TERMINATION
We all get to Mr. Mazur’s room with fear and curiosity gnawing within the deepest parts of our souls. I know we are all worried. For instance, I have come to love this old man like a father. He adores my child and is excited to welcome the next one that is on the way. He has justified my stay in this house and my love affair with his son with sincere intent. How can I not love him?“Father? We are all here. I thought we had a party next week, which you were preparing for. What is with this sudden meeting?” Ray asks.And I know how much he adores his father. I remember how badly he pleaded with me not to harm his father. Our paths crossed in this second phase, and my heart was pounding with waves of vengeance and wrath. He was willing to do anything, even to take up his father’s punishment on his behalf. And in the months that I have been in this house again, I know how deeply he cares for him. He and another love him so much. He may be rendered incapable of anything right now, but I s
MY STEPBROTHER'S RETURN AN URGENT MEETING
Katherine remains mute, but her expressions ooze hurt and pain. It is like this is a bitter pill that she has to swallow.“Next time, don’t you dare go high and mighty on me, Katherine. You don’t want to cross, or else...”“Shut up!” Katherine shuts her up, her voice coming out between gritted teeth. “Don’t say something that you will regret,” she hisses again as they stand before each other like two antagonistic lions.I feel Rayshift beside me, and before I know it, he is standing up, taking me with him as he approaches them. They drop the rage when they sense us. As if we have not been watching the entire show. As if there is anything new with them. I know their secrets. I know they were together in that blackmail attack against me years ago. The person I pity is Rey, because I still have not found the courage to do what she did.I know that he deserves to know. I know that he has all the rights to know what his mother is capable of. I know he needs to know what his mother thought
MY STEPBROTHER'S RETURN NO PARTY
I join the annoying party, hugging my fury at my claws because I am supposed to be having the best of this moment with Ray and not burning my arse here watching some manner of less arses drink their already inebriated asses off. Why did this b*tch even need us here? All they have been doing ever since we sauntered from the kitchen is just drink and pick on Ray and me. And she—I don’t understand why she had to stay this close to Rey. She annoyingly pressed against him on the left side while I was clinging to him on the right. The poor guy is so uncomfortable and lost at the meaning of this whole thing, just as I am. And you, if all she wants is to show off, then I don’t need to stoop so low. I know who it is that matters to Rey. I am serious as fuck about where I stand in his life.I unbandage my hand from him and shift aside from him, an action that causes him to reach for my hand and shift closer, pinning himself on me and wrapping his arm around my shoulder. With ease and care, he g
MY STEPBROTHER'S RETURN NOT THREATENED
She cloaks her anger for a minute, putting on her signature bitchy crown. But today, her act is not working decently. Even through her iciness, you can still pick up the pecks of anger, hurt, and shame. Bingo, Irma Rose! You are serving this diet, which is the recommended diet. Thumbs up! Stuff her more!“Do not be too sure. And, by the way, how did it feel to see me kissing my husband, whom you can’t stop swooning over? I saw how you almost collapsed with utter stupor and hurt. Did your heart break into pieces after witnessing us kissing?” She asks, almost emitting a smirk.Sha! This witch is so cheap at devising plans. Was that the only way she could come up with to rile me? My! My! She should have asked me for some advice to spice up her rubbishy, unsuccessful plan. She couldn’t even pull off something to equal a kiss. Such a pathetic loser!“I admit I was thunderstruck and hurt at first seeing Rey’s lips on your disgusting ones for a second. But then, reality slapped me—that was a
MY STEPBROTHER'S RETURN CHALLENGE
After a moment, she clears her throat myriad times, scraping the back of her neck as if she has an itchy skin disease. She is still mired in ignominy and bewilderment, and her friends are still looking at her with dismay and shock. She could have prepared them instead of trying to showcase something that isn’t real.“I will just get some glasses. Feel at home and make yourself comfortable on the seats.” She is still battling with her conflicting sentiments.Her friends start dragging their confused bodies to the seats where Rayis is perched, while she starts towards me. I was about to get out of her way, but she grabs my hand and drags me inside the kite with her.The door slams shut behind us, the fresh scent of our raw sex with Ray minutes ago slams our nostrils, and we stare at each other like two antagonistic lionesses that we in reality are.I roughly jerk my hand away from this bitch!“What in the devil’s name were you doing in here with my husband?” Tarah screeches after I snat
MY STEPBROTHER'S RETURN BAD RECEPTION
“What were you doing in there? Been screaming your name for minutes, hun!” I hear that bitch’s voice as I finish cleaning myself up with the Soviets.Hun? Since when? And what is that?annoying cheesecake tone? Trying to play some lovey-dovey games to fool her fucking guests? I reckon she is even clinging to my Rey’s arm or fixing the nothingness on his tee just to show off. Bitch!“Uuuu! Spare us, will you?"Spare us?From what?Silence!There is no voice from that witch, and these parrots of hers are just cheering; only the devil knows what. I detest those shrieking sounds! They are making my ears itch! I fix my hair and walk out feeling so raw and content, and...And dumbstruck!The heartbreaking visual visage of my Ray and Tarah together with their lips pressed so iniquitously against each other impairs my visual sense for a minute.Holy fuck!I slam my back on the closed kitchen door the minute it closes. A tinge of stinging tickles jolts down my spinal tube, almost paralyzing me
