My Heartless Stepbrother 45. Rash Decision
ADRIANWas that a challenge?Meghan trembled in my arms as I gently caressed her body. I slid my hand up to her breast, cupping it. It fit right inside my palm."Adrian, don't," she said in a hoarse whisper."Don't, what? Don't touch you? Kiss you? It doesn't seem like you hate it all that much," I chuckled against her neck."This is dumb. Why do I keep letting you do this to me? You have no right to play with my emotion or body," she complained while melting in my arms.I wasn't a complete Neanderthal. I knew what I was doing to her was wrong, but I couldn't stop. It was like an addiction. "Because you want me more than you care to admit? There's nothing wrong with facing the truth, Maggie. Just surrender already. Tell me you want me to fuck you again," I said, laughing. She was aching for it but trying so hard to resist, all because of her pride.I was going to leave her alone for a bit when I saw how vulnerable she was, but after I saw that ring on her finger? It made me burn with
My Heartless Stepbrother 46. She Didn't Elope
ADRIAN "This is stupid, Maggie wouldn't do something like this. There must be something wrong," I said. "Well, this is Maggie's handwriting. But you are right. It is weird. But why would she just lie to us like this? Is this supposed to be a prank? It's not like my Meghan to make a joke like this," Natasha said. "That's what I'm saying. It's not like Maggie to do this at all, joke or not. You can't just believe a stupid letter and move on with your life. I'm calling her right now," I said and started dialing her number. The phone kept ringing, but no one answered. Something was wrong, I could feel it. That bastard Chase must've done something to her. "Any luck?" dad asked. I shook my head. "She is not answering. I told you something was wrong ." Natasha's phone suddenly started ringing. "It's Maggie!" she exclaimed and snatched it off the table. "Megan, sweetheart? Where are you?" What was she saying? I couldn't hear since Natasha didn't put it on speaker. I tried to hold back
My Heartless Stepbrother 47. Sweet Escape
MEGHAN Agreeing to meet with Chase to break up with him must have been the worst idea of my entire, short life. Drenched in a cold sweat, I sat with my back pressed into the cushions of a plane seat. There were voices around me, but my mind couldn't focus on them long enough to hear what they were saying. Good Lord. How did I get into this mess? I tried to think back, remembering Chase pushing me to write something to my parents. There were also short memories from the phone call Chase forced me to make with my mother. That's right... Chase made me speak to everyone, and I was handed a glass of water. Drinking whatever was inside made me dizzy. Now, minute by minute, more of me was coming back, yet I still felt exhausted. My eyelids were sticky, barely able to keep themselves open, and my head rang with a loud migraine. That water Chase offered me must have been spiked with drugs. It would explain my parched throat at the throbbing in my temples. I couldn't function like a nor
My Heartless Stepbrother 48. I Will Marry Her
CHASE Oh, sweet Meghan. I smirked as I watched her sitting with a solemn expression. I was giving her the first class experience with my private jet and the finest dining any plane can offer, and there she was, looking like the whole world was crashing down on her. What an ungrateful little bitch... "Not a fan of flying?" I asked, and she glared at me with fire in her eyes. "Fuck off, Chase." I smiled again. Her insults won't phase me. I expected this much fight from her. In fact, I was surprised that she was acting so calm. I expected her to freak out and scratch my face, especially when I was touching her and kissing her earlier. Maybe she accepted her fate with me? Nah, too early. She will warm up to me eventually. I didn't force myself on her earlier because I knew that wasn't the way to win her over. No problem, I can wait. "You haven't touched your food. Do you think I poisoned it?" I pressed. I was not willing to spend the entire flight in complete silence. "I wouldn't
My Heartless Stepbrother 49. I am Coming for You
ADRIAN "Stop freaking out, dude. I'm sure she is fine with her boyfriend," Luke said, but his words pissed me off more than they comforted me. "She is not 'fine,' Luke. She had been kidnapped by that jerk. I bet he forced her to write that note and got her on the plane. If he hurts her, I swear I'll wring his neck until he sees stars," I barked. "But how can you be sure that she was kidnapped?" Luke asked. "I heard it." I paused to take a deep breath. My body was burning with rage, and I needed to keep my head cool. "She sounded scared. Not like the blushing bride who just eloped with the love of her fucking life." "Alright, what else did she say makes you think she is in trouble?" Luke raised his eyebrows. I took out the note I managed to steal from Natasha when they weren't looking, Maggie's note. "Look at how she signed her name," I said, practically shoving the note at Luke's face. "It just says, 'love, Meg.' I don't get it. What's wrong with this?" Luke looked at me with c
My Heartless Stepbrother 50. Welcome Home
MEGHAN Love? Chase wouldn't know what love is if it smacked him in the face. I heard the whole phone conversation with his father, and it burned my insides. Not that I cared who he married at this point, but how could he do this to me while being engaged to some other girl? He thought he could keep me by his side as some kind of accessory. He must be out of his mind! "We are landing. Don't try to escape or scream for help. My men will be waiting for us at the airport, and if they see you do anything funny, they are instructed to inject you with a sedative. You don't want that, do you, Meg?" Chase waggled his brows. His men? What is he? Part of a Mafia? "Don't worry, Chase, I'll be a good girl. Just don't try to force yourself on me, or I'll bite your dick off," I said and glared at him. Chase grinned. "Feisty, I must say, Meg. I'm enjoying this side of you. You were always so quiet in college. I thought you were shy and sweet. But I like the little bit of fire in you. It turns me
My Heartless Stepbrother 51. Call Your Father
CHASE Meghan was surprisingly calm about this whole thing so I decided to keep a close eye on her. She was up to something, I bet. I let her take her bath then handed her the phone to speak to her father. Risky move, sure, but it was necessary. The last thing I needed was to have her dad file a missing persons report in Boston and get people looking. Meghan was still staring at the phone instead of picking it up. "Go ahead, call your father," I ordered again. "Wha...why?" she hesitated. "Tell him, you are back in Boston but you moved in with your fiancee," I said. I was starting to feel a bit annoyed. What was so hard to understand for her? "Don't say anything you'll regret," I added. "I...I don't remember his number," she said. I smirked and signaled Bronson to hand me her phone. I took it away from her before we boarded the plane and only let her use it to call her mother. "Here. Call him from this and give it back to me," I said. "There were a few misscalls from him alread
My Heartless Stepbrother 52. Playing Detective
ADRIANDad tried to discourage me one last time before I got on the plane, but I didn't listen. My mind was full of Meghan. If they are not going to try everything to get to her, then I will.I called Tiffany and gave her some lame excuse because I didn't want to hurt her. I will explain everything once I get back to Miami.Maybe I should've done this when Maggie first moved away because if I had, we wouldn't be in this situation. If I had asked her to stay in Miami, maybe she wouldn't have moved to Boston, and then Chase would've never come into the picture.But it was too late to think about all that.I checked into my hotel room and jumped into bed. It had been a long night, so I could hardly keep my eyes open. I looked at my phone, hoping to see a message from Maggie. Or a miscall. But there was none, so I sent her a message. Maybe she wasn't in a position to call but a text message...My phone blinked after a few minutes, so I snatched it off the end table.'Adrian, I told you I

My Heartless Stepbrother 90. Epilogue
ADRIAN I jumped to my left to dodge the flying piece of strawberry shortcake with cream cheese frosting. Fortunately, it missed my ear by an inch, landing on an empty chair. Phew... That was close. Whose idea was it to put a one year old in charge of a whole cake? Meghan Parker, that's who. "Am I allowed to take it away from her yet? I shot her an intense glare for the fourth time. Maggie giggled. "No, just a few more pictures." "Pictures of what?" "Our daughter!" "That's not our daughter. That's a cake slugging demon child. Look at her. She doesn't even have a face anymore. It just looks like a giant blob of frosting," I point at Olivia, who had smashed her whole face on the cake a few times while giggling like a maniac. I guess that's why they call it a 'smash cake.' I'm glad she is enjoying her party, though. "ADRIAN!" Maggie scolded me. "I'm kidding! Gosh. I love Olivia. She is my favorite daughter," I winced. "Your only daughter," Natasha remarked, then walked over to
My Heartless Stepbrother 89. Sweet Home Alabama
MEGHAN It's Christmas day today, and Adrian was home again to spend it with us. After we found out I was pregnant two months ago, Adrian went back to training. I asked him not to tell our parents anything, and he agreed, begrudgingly so. I promised him I'd take care of myself and the baby in his absence. I had to keep wearing baggy clothes because I was starting to show way more. It was getting harder to hide my pregnancy from my mom and Steve. "Stop being so nervous," Adrian scolded me when I acted restless. Our parents threw a Christmas party with our friends and family, and he already threatened to reveal everything to them. "I can't help it. You said you are going to announce it to everyone. How are you going to do it? Because I don't want to do it," I said. "You will see. It's a surprise I created." Adrian grinned mischievously. I don't trust him. "Leave everything to me," he said again. "Why do you have to do this now and ruin Christmas?" I winced. "It's a great time to
My Heartless Stepbrother 88. Let's Go Shopping
ADRIANI waited outside the bathroom patiently as Maggie took her test. This was nerve-wracking, but I tried to remain calm.Everything is going to be fine.I was about to get a good job and will buy a nice house in Alaska. So, if Maggie is pregnant, we could raise our kid there.Our parents weren’t home yet, so it was just Maggie and me, thankfully.“How much longer?” I yelled.“Two more minutes.”Shit, only one minute has passed? Why did it feel like an eternity?I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard Maggie scream.“NO!”“Maggie? What’s wrong?” I asked. Maybe the test came out negative, and Maggie is disappointed?The door burst open, and Maggie came out with a frantic expression on her face. “This…this can’t be right.” She shoved the stick toward me, waving it. “This is all your fault!”I took it off her hand and smiled. Two lines…that could mean one thing.“Maggie! You are pregnant. Congratulations to us!”“What? Don’t congratulate us! This is a disaster,” she said, tears dr
My Heartless Stepbrother 87. Maggie and I are Together
MEGHAN "Adrian! Oh my god, I missed you so much!" Tiffany screamed and tried to jump into Adrian's arms, but he grabbed her shoulders, slightly pushing her away from him. "Hey, Tiff. I missed you guys too," he said casually, then winked at me as if to tell me not to get jealous. She was just a friend like Luke as far as he was concerned. "Oh, hey, Meghan. Nice dress. Seems a little tight on you, isn't it?" she said slightly. Is she trying to make a fat joke? I was annoyed already, and I'd only been here for five minutes. "Hey, guys! You made it!" Luke yelled from across the room and then made his way to us. He wrapped one arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer. "Looking hot, Maggie." "Hey, keep your hands to yourself, Lucas," Adrian barked. Tiffany giggled. "Why should he? She is his girlfriend." "Not anymore," Adrian said. Whoa, are we announcing our break up already? "What do you mean, not anymore? Did Luke break up with Maggie already?" Tiffany looked at me curiously.
My Heartless Stepbrother 86. Do We Have to Go?
ADRIANI stared at Maggie, who looked utterly dumbfounded by my announcement. She looked almost terrified. Was the idea of moving with me that terrible? I knew she would hesitate since her mom lives here, but I thought we would get away from them. They didn't want us to be together anyway."Maggie, are you okay?" I asked after she didn't say anything for a while."I…I don't understand what you mean," she said meekly."You don't understand? What part confuses you?" I raised my eyebrow."What do you mean move in with you? Move in where?" she asked.I guess it was taking her a while to fathom what was going on."After all the training and seeing my performance, they offered me a permanent position in the fire department. So, I was thinking I should take the job and move to Alaska permanently," I explained.Maggie still looked confused. Was she not understanding what I was trying to tell her? "Move to Alaska? Permanently? Then what will happen to me?"I chuckled. This girl was really maki
My Heartless Stepbrother 85. Reunion.
MEGHAN On Saturday, I woke up feeling hungrier than ever. It was the weekend Adrian was supposed to come home, but he hadn't even called me. Loneliness wrapped around me.Our parents were working this weekend, but Adrian was only coming home for my sake, so he didn't care. But the question was why he hadn't shown up yet.I stretched under the covers, blinking when my nose caught the smell of bacon. Music blasted from the kitchen, and I slowly sat up with a smile spreading over my lips. He was home. Hurriedly, I found my pajamas and stalked out of the bedroom. The music was getting louder, and Adrian was whistling along. It made my heart pound faster and faster until he came into view.There, recently showered and only wearing a pair of boxer briefs, Adrian shook his round ass while making breakfast. "OH YEAH, YEAH!" Adrian was listening to an old Bruno Mars song. He broke a few eggs, danced, and moved along with the music, but all I could focus on was his broad back roped with m
My Heartless Stepbrother 84. Dating Her?
ADRIANI punched the bag again and groaned in frustration."Take it easy, Adrian. You will hurt your knuckles," my trainer Kevin hissed at me. "What the hell is wrong with you anyway? You've been distracted and grumpy lately.""I have not been grumpy. I don't know what the hell you are talking about," I grumbled."Yeah, whatever. Just keep your head in the game, okay? You have three more months here, and then you get to go home, so no need to act out," Kevin said."I am not acting out. What the hell? Haven't I been showing how good I am at this? Haven't I been proving myself?""Yes, Adrian. You've been doing well. I'm not complaining about your effort out here. I'm just saying these past few days, you've been moody and distracted and I need you to keep your focus back on your job. So you don't mess it up.""I just don't know how to tell my girlfriend about my plans here," I decided to confide in Kevin. Since I moved here, we've become good friends, so I figured I could trust him."You
My Heartless Stepbrother 83. Dont You Miss Me?
MEGHANThree months later, it looked like Adrian would finally have some free time to come and visit me. It was about time.He had been hard to reach the entire day, though, so I was grumpy while we talked on the phone. "So you will be coming home?" I asked but tried not to sound too excited about the news. Adrian hadn't earned that for ignoring my messages all day."Yes, I'm coming home to you this weekend!" I could hear the beam he wore in his voice. "Aren't you excited?"I hummed, still pretending to be hard to catch. "I don't know...""You don't know? Maggie! It feels like three long years since I last saw your face! Facetiming doesn't count! I want to touch and see you in person. Take you out on a date. Surely you must miss me?"My chest constricted. I felt terrible lying to Adrian, but I couldn't help the mood swings I had been having lately. I went from sad to happy so fast these days that I was starting to believe I needed medication. It wasn't the only change I had gone t
My Heartless Stepbrother 82. Sick of Pretending
MEGHANOne month later,I promised myself I wouldn't cry and try to understand where he was coming from, but it still hurt to see him go."I will visit every chance I get, Maggie," he had said, kissing my forehead."But you said you'd be in intense training and won't be able to visit," I sobbed.He said nothing because what I said was true. So why was he making empty promises? It would only make things harder on me.And then he was gone, and I was all alone again.This past month felt like it went in slow motion. Adrian called me every night, and we tried to do video chats, but it wasn't the same.I missed his touch, I craved it.Mom told Adrian and me not to say anything to Steve because it might make things worse, so we kept our relationship a secret from him. Finally, Adrian promised her that we'd break up before he left for Alaska, and mom didn't question him any more. Maybe when he comes back, we'll find a different way to be together."Maggie! Luke is here!" my mom called from t
