CHASE

I walked into my father's office nervously. I never knew what to expect because he was always so unpredictable. And so unforgiving. I knew why he called me this time, though. He wanted to talk to me about Megan. And probably Jennifer. I was not looking forward to that conversation.

"Hey, dad. Did you want to see me?" I got to the point as soon as I walked into his office.

"What the fuck happened to your lip?" My father, Archer, barked to answer my question. Fuck. I should have tried to cover my wound somehow. I couldn't tell him that Maggie bit me when I was kissing her!

"Um, it's nothing," I said hesitantly.

"You know better than to lie to me," Chase. What.. the fuck.. happened to your lips?" he said it slower this time, enunciating each word.

"It was just...Meghan and I..." I paused. I didn't know how to explain it.

"That little bitch did that to you? What the hell is going on, Chase? I thought you were in love?" he snarled.

"Like I said, Dad, it's none of your business

    MEGHAN"What? Who is this?" Jennifer demanded to know. I could tell she was utterly confused."My name is Meghan and your dumbass fiancé Chase kidnapped me! You have to help me," I said. I felt like I was wasting my time, but I had to try."Is this some kind of a joke? Why would Chase kidnap you?" Jennifer asked."If you don't believe me, come to his house and see for yourself. He let me come out of the bedroom, but he wouldn't let me leave the house," I said in a hushed tone."Why would Chase kidnap somebody? He doesn't need money. His dad is already rich," Jennifer said.Gosh, this girl is oblivious. Does she even know I exist?"Because it's not about the money, Jennifer. He kidnapped me because he wanted me, and I refused to be with him. Your fiancé is a liar and a cheater."Jennifer went quiet for a while for a moment, so I thought she had hung up on me. But suddenly, I heard laughter on the other end. I frowned in disappointment. She must think I was joking.She was not taking me

    ADRIAN 'I changed my mind. I would like to go out with you.' I smiled at the text. I didn't have to wait until morning. She had already fallen under my trap, and I didn't even have to do much. I guess Lisa was wrong. Erin wasn't all that difficult of a person. 'But you have to hurry up and pick me up.' I squinted at the text. What was the rush? It didn't matter. All I wanted was information, and this girl could be my ticket to finding Meghan. If she wanted me to pick her up, that's what I would do. 'I'll be on my way. Where do you want me to pick you up?' I texted. 'My house, but don't park directly in front of it. Park a few blocks away. My parents have me under heavy protection and don't like me going out with strangers, so I have to sneak out,' she said. Her parents? Why were they kept under supervision? She had to be over eighteen years old already. If anything, they needed to keep Chase under control for being a brat. She wasn't joking. There was heavy security at her pa

    CHASEJennifer peered at me through her fake eyelashes, sizing me up. I had put on my most expensive suit to impress her, but at the same time, I didn't give two shits about her opinion.Jennifer meant nothing to me."I thought you were not going to come," she finally spoke.I looked at her with surprise. "Why would you think that?""You've been distant from me for a while now. You keep ignoring my phone calls. So finally, I got desperate and called your father. Do you realize how humiliating that is for me, Chase?""I was going to call you back, Jen. You didn't have to call him. You just had to be a little more patient," I said irritably. Jennifer was a little too clingy for my taste. I preferred someone like Meghan, who let me have my space.Of course, now I know it was because she didn't like me in the first place."Patient? Don't tell me to have patience, Chase. It's almost as bad as telling me to calm down," Jennifer snapped."Are we just going to stand here and argue all night,

  • My Heartless Stepbrother    66. Here to Help

    ADRIANI stopped my car a few blocks away from Erin's house because she instructed me to do so. Then I looked at her, unsure of what to do.To be honest, I was a little concerned about this girl. She looked like a nervous wreck even though she was going back to her own parents' house."Are you okay? Are you sure it's fine to drop you off here?" I asked."Yes, it's safer this way. I will find my way back and don't worry. I've done this before."If you say so."For some reason, I didn't peg Erin as the adventurous kind who sneaked out of her house all the time."I am still a little worried about you walking all alone in the dark," I said.A small smile teased her lips. "You are worried about me? Why? You don't even know me!" she exclaimed."That's what a decent human being usually does, Erin. They worry about other people's safety," I said."A decent human being, huh?" Erin said absentmindedly, as if it was a foreign concept to her. "I wouldn't know what that means," she said. She final

  • My Heartless Stepbrother    67. Who did this?

    CHASEJennifer kissed me back without hesitation. I guess she wasn't THAT mad at me."Mmm...Chase, I've missed you," she whispered against my lips. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. Even though I wasn't into her, I enjoyed kissing her because she was quite good at it.I felt her hand roam all over my chest and abs, her fingers unbuttoning my shirt. Her other hand found its way down to my pants, and my cock stirred inside.It's been so fucking long since I had sex.Jennifer was throwing herself at me, just like she always did in the past. I remembered her tight little body and her perfect ass. I enjoyed it despite being in love with Meghan. Maybe marrying Jennifer isn't such a bad idea...Jennifer managed to unzip my pants, then took me in her hand. "I want you to fuck me, Chase. Make it up to me for neglecting me," she whispered seductively.I grabbed her shoulders and looked her in the eyes while she played with my cock.Fuck...I can't do t

    ADRIANThe next day.I texted Erin to see if she wanted to go out with me again today so I could get more information. I also wanted to make sure she got home all right last night. Hopefully, she didn't get caught sneaking around.'I'm so glad you texted me,' she replied to me almost immediately, so I smiled at my phone. I texted her quickly.'Did you get home okay?' I asked her.'Yes, it was no problem. I told you I've sneaked out many times without getting caught before. But there's something I want to talk to you about,' her reply said.It piqued my interest. She must have some news about Maggie.'What is it?''I don't want to text everything. Can we meet again today?' she said.She sent me a follow-up text after five seconds."Is it too soon to see me again? I never went on on date anyone, so I don't know the rules,' it said.I chuckled loudly. I didn't understand in the beginning, but this girl really was very inexperienced in the dating area."What the hell are you laughing at?

  • My Heartless Stepbrother    69. Another Nightmare

    MEGHANAfter miraculously surviving getting beaten up, Chase gave me his bedroom.I lay in his bed, bruised and battered with nightmares about the large man who had beat me up. I tried to get away from him, but he would always find me.There was no way to escape. No matter how often I woke up and closed my eyes in a different position, the nightmare would return the next time I fell asleep.How was I ever to trust a man again? Getting beaten up by one made me realize one thing: men and women are not physically the same.Men would always be stronger, bigger, and badder. That knowledge was slowly making me fear them.I tried to fall asleep by pressing my head into the pillow and pulling the blanket tighter around me. I wasn't sure why Chase had given me his bedroom, but I wasn't one to complain.My mind drifted off, and then I saw it. That face and that evil smile belonging to the man who beat me.Hot blood ran over my skin, and it wouldn't stop. I saw myself trying to fight back but ge

  • My Heartless Stepbrother    70. Jennifer Sent Them

    CHASEI guess winning her over wasn't going to be as easy as I thought.My arrogance took over my brain, and I kissed her even though she was feeling vulnerable and crying her eyes out.To my surprise, she gave in too easily. I thought she would push me off and slap me. Or bite my lip like the last time. On the other hand, maybe she was starting to warm up to me."Ow!" she groaned as I kissed her deeper.Shit, her lips. I forgot she had a cut on her lip because of those guys. Those filthy bastards, I'm going to find them one by one and slaughter them. But first, I needed to find out who sent them.I looked at her after breaking the kiss. "Did they say who sent them?"Meghan shook her head. "No. They kept saying I shouldn't be with you, and they were being nice by not getting rid of me." She sobbed.Fuck, Jennifer had something to do with this after all. I didn't want to believe she was capable of doing something like this. But then again..."Are you really going to sleep with me here?

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
