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

MEGHANChase kept his end of the deal and didn't bother me at night, but I still tried to stay awake in case he decided to pay me a nightly visit.But I couldn't stay awake all night. Soon, I slipped into a deep slumber. Being tired from the plane ride didn't help either.I didn't wake up until it was morning. Warm sunlight hit my face, jerking me awake. I pulled myself into a sitting position and looked around but it was just me in the room. I wondered why Chase didn't come and wake me up. I went to the bathroom and then splashed some water in my eyes then headed to the door. I jiggled the knob and pulled, but the door didn't budge.Of course it was locked. Typical.... I banged on the door hoping somebody would hear me. "Anybody out there? Open the door please!" I yelled until the door burst open.An older woman stared at me, smiling. "I see you are awake. I was about to come over and wake you up for breakfast. Chase is waiting for you," she said. "Who are you supposed to be, his

ADRIANIt wasn't hard to find the girls' dorms. I marched straight into the main office and cleared my throat.The blonde girl at the front desk looked up, and her eyes lit up. She must've been sitting here all day, bored out of her mind."Hey! Haven't seen you around here before," she chirped. She had a friendly smile on her face, much more welcoming than the woman before."Hey, I am Adrian." I smiled widely, trying to turn up my charm."Hey, Adrian," what can I do for you?" she asked, returning my smile."I'm looking for someone. My girlfriend. Can you help me?" I asked. I hope I didn't hit another dead end again."Sure, what's her name?" she asked."Lisa," I said quickly. Maybe this girl is more willing to help me than the grumpy woman at the admissions office.The blonde raised an eyebrow. "Lisa? That's a common name. We have five Lisas around here, so you need to narrow it down for me. What's her last name?""Lisa Mendez," I said.She stared at me for a few seconds without blinki

MEGHAN 'Put this on and meet me at the foyer,' the little note said. It was attached to an evening gown wrapped in plastic. I ripped out the note into tiny pieces and then threw it at the stone-faced man in front of me. I expected him to react or say something, but he didn't even flinch. Maybe he was used to people throwing tantrums. "I'm not some slave you can order around," I snarled. I was starting to get tired of behaving myself already. The man tilted his brow. "Of course, not miss. I am only following Mr. Archer's order." I guess his only job was to deliver me the letter and the dress because he hadn't said a word to me or make eye contact with me before I snapped at him. "Tell Chase to kiss my ass and throw this dress at him," I said again. "I'm afraid I can't do that." "Then get me a lighter so I can burn this dress. Then, film it and send it to him," I declared. "I recommend against it," the man said dryly. I squinted my eyes at him. "What's your name?" "Charlie."

CHASEI spent an entire day planning this date in my mind. I wanted everything to be perfect, so I handpicked a dress for her and sent it over with Charlie.I wanted to show her what she would be missing if she didn't choose me over Adrian.I brought her to this very expensive restaurant my father owned so she could have the finest meal tonight. What more did she want from me?And after dinner, maybe she will let me have a taste... although it didn't seem like she was warming up to me at all. But damn....after seeing her in the dress I bought her, I had this image of her in my mind.It was her lying on the bed naked with her legs parted. So sexy and so inviting. I wondered how long I would have to wait before the mental image became a reality.The waitress came by to take our orders, so I turned my attention away from Meghan and looked at the other girl in front of me."Would you like a menu, Miss?" she asked Meghan since there was only one menu on the table."There is no need," I chi

ADRIAN"I tell you what, I'll let you sit in my class tomorrow," Lisa announced.I decided to meet her again the next day since she couldn't tell me much the first time, but she promised she would try to gather more information for me. So I couldn't miss out on that chance. At this point, anything could help."Sit in your class? why would I do that?" I was confused by the idea."So you can meet Erin," Lisa said."Who is that?" I asked."Chase's sister," Lisa smirked.Chase has a sister? I would have never known. Why did he always act like he was the sole heir to his father's empire or something?Regardless, it looks like I have hit the jackpot!"But seriously, wouldn't it be weird if I just go and sit down in a random class? Wouldn't the professor question it?" I asked.Lisa shrugged. "No, not really. Half the time, they don't remember all the students' names. There are over fifty students in that class, so you will blend right in. It's not like you are some creepy old man sitting aro

MEGHAN I didn't think Chase was capable of violence. I really didn't. He was always so put together and didn't get angry all the time not even when Adrian treated him like shit. But last night, when he almost hit me, I saw something in his eyes that shook me to my core. A certain darkness that surrounded him. For the first time, I realized I didn't know him at all. But could he really hurt me? He couldn’t, right? He did stop himself halfway and didn't strike me. So, he did have some self-control. But what if next time he didn’t stop himself and hit me? What then? I had no choice but to sit here and take it because I wasn’t strong enough to fight him. God, I wish Adrian was here. Someone knocked on the door, waking me up from my trance. “Who is it? If it, is you, Chase, I don’t want to see your fucking face!” I yelled. I heard a woman laugh on the other side of the door. Leslie... The door opened, and she came in without my permission. I don't know why she bothered to knock

CHASEI told the driver to take us to the nightclub. It was the same one my father brought me to when I was ten, so I better understood his business. It was a special lesson he wanted to teach me that day.Today, I wanted to teach Meghan the same lesson: The consequences of crossing our family."What is this place?" Meghan furrowed her brows as we stopped in front of the club."It's a nightclub, darling.""Why are we here now? I am not in the mood to dance," Meghan frowned, so I chuckled."Don't be silly. The club isn't open yet. We are here for a different reason," I said."And what reason would that be?" Meghan looked at me suspiciously."You'll see." I smiled mysteriously, so she knew I was up to no good.She didn't protest as I led the way."Why are we here?" she asked again. Curious girl, this one."Have I ever told you what my father does for a living?" I countered."He owns businesses? Don't tell me, he owns this club too, so you brought me here to impress me," Meghan sounded b

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
