My Ruthless Stepbrother 32- "Rescued."
I WAS nervously shaking and my tears welled up when I felt him slip his dirty hands on the few strands of my hair and caressed my cheek.I could do nothing but cry. I also can't resist. He was holding my ID that I lost before Christmas break. Now it's January of the new year."Don't..." I pleaded repeatedly as my tears fell hard.I was about to enter the school's gate a while ago when this new guard blocked me. I was asked if I was Irryn Rosabell and when I said I am, to my surprise after that he was then able to show me my lost and found ID."Ah, yes, that's mine. Thank you, " I said with gratitude, feeling glad I finally found the ID, but the excitement faded when he raised his hand and pulled it away from me."Hep! What do you think? You can get it that easily, miss Rosabell?"I felt scary strange when he grinned and looked at me. Is that the type even though I am in uniform, I feel like he is explicitly stripping me of the kinds of looks he has!I still maintain my politeness. "Pl

"By the way? Why are you here on the senior high campus?" I asked Dencel."I was about to go visit a cousin," he answered."Oh is that so?" I suddenly remembered Zack. Zack! He should never know about what happened today. "Uhm, Dencel... I have something to ask you.""What's that, Ryn?""Please, Dencel, don't mention this to Zack. Zack doesn't need to know what happened. Please."He sighed then smiled softly. "All right, Irryn. You go to your class now if you don't wanna be late."He did not refuse what I wanted but he did not also agree directly.Dencel didn't seem to let me totally be silent about what happened to me when in the afternoon I saw Zack, I thought the latter would just pick me up. I smiled softly and waved to him but he just stared at me and immediately turned his back on me. I was surprised by that gesture, it was also because I could see the pain in his eyes, the worry and anger. Anger?!It was only then that I noticed that Dencel and Vandyke were behind him. Puzzled,

Zack looked up at their Dean, then he grinned and just shrugged. "What would you expect from all of my previous records, Dean? That's why I'm back and forth here in the office, as usual, right? Simply because I love creating trouble! And what I did a while ago? Oh, come on! We all knew it was never new for me! I did it purely for fun!"My shoulders finally dropped at what Zack said. Whatever it takes, it seems like he is not going to involve me on this issue because he will be preserving my name and my chastity."Zack!" Dencel exclaimed then stood up because Zack's going to condemn himself again in front of everyone.Uncle Alanson just remained silent. His fists were clenched and it seemed that at any time, his restraint would end.The moment their conversation started earlier, Zack has been gaining hateful comments, now it has increased. It is flooded, actually.: See? He did it just for fun! Really stupid!: Haha. He really had nothing to do in life!: F*cking son of a b*tch!: Trou

I even screamed out of nowhere in shock. Even the onlookers were surprised. Zack's face tilted due to the force of Uncle Alanson's hit."What did I do to you, Zack? Where did I go wrong? Why do you just treat me like this and insult me huh?! Don't you really think of me as a father anymore, huh?! Tell me, why you have to embarrass me over and over again. Why, Zack?! " Uncle Alanson shouted his throat out of anger and disappointment with a crack on his voice, indicating he was really hurt by what happened today.Zack did not answer, remained stubborn and averted his face."Let's talk about this when we get home. Let's not second the motion here what you did to that guard earlier."Uncle Alanson marched to their car and I immediately approached Zack."Zack, are you okay?" I asked worriedly while looking at his punched cheek and then I hugged him so tight. "Zack!"I felt him softly smile and responded to my embrace.When we released each other's arms, I cried. "You shouldn't be expelle

"Zack!" I shouted at him because of his senseless decision!Why is he agreeing to leave this house when he is part of this family no matter what he did today! Doesn’t he know the impact on me when he would leave?!Mom looked up in pain and held back tears. "What did Zack really do, Alanson? Can you explain why it has to get like this! Why do you need to kick your own son from your house when from the very first place, this is his house too because he is your blood and flesh!""Ask that crazy boy," Uncle Alanson answered without hesitation and finally marched upstairs to his office.I know it hurts uncle too, it also hurts him to throw away his own child so I couldn't understand why it has to go this far!Weakly, mom turned to whom she also considers like her own son. "Zack, my son..."Zack still didn't seem to nod to himself. "I'm leaving."He also marched up to the stairs to go to his room. I followed him and held him by the shoulder."Zack! You don't have to do this! Uncle Alanson w
Last Updated : 2023-01-12My Ruthless Stepbrother 37- "Cried."
I closed my eyes tightly before telling everything, "That guard took advantage of the opportunity to confiscate my ID because of the clumsiness I dropped it off before Christmas vacation. To get it, I had to go inside the former Science room, I was in a hurry because I still had a class and there was a quiz for our second subject so I went along. That's where he started…" I stopped and the hard tears flowed again when I remembered I almost got molested. "Touch me. He touched my hair and caressed my face."Uncle Alanson's jaw tightened because of my revelation. "Are you saying the guard that Zack shot was actually trying to harass you, hija?""I was touched and almost exploited if Zack's friend Dencel did not come right away. Thank God really that he passed by, he saw and prevented anything that that idiot could have done to me.""Go on, hija.""I begged Dencel not to tell his friend Zack what happened because I knew it would only get messy when the latter found out, but the former did

EIGHT YEARS LATER..."WOW! Nice! You did very well, miss Irryn!"I smiled humbly to my client's praise upon my job well done. "Thank you but I wouldn't be able to make it without the help of my whole team."I turned to my colleagues who were following behind us. They are smiling and happy too."Yeah. You along with your team did a really great job! Kudos to you!""Thank you, ma'am," my comrades responded happily.We re-examined the recent design of the entire event hall, where luncheons will be held tomorrow after the baptism of our current client's son.Everything's settled from the stage designs, walls, lightings, table arrangements and even the flow of the program for tomorrow as well as the invitations.

"Good afternoon, Miss!" My secretary—Piper—came to greet me."Afternoon!" I lazily answered her.We entered my office, and I went straight to my table."Miss, the branch manager of Avarette Salon called earlier. They were asking if you can go to investors' tonight this coming Saturday."Oh, that. Of course.Aside from being an event organizer, a restauranteur, I also entered the world of enterprenuership. I am currently one of the biggest investors of one of the most decent and big salon businesses in Mindanao, the Avarette Salon.

There are still on-going constructions that will open branches in Saranggani, Polomolok as well as in Digos and Mati.This is a business owned by one of my closest friends in the University years so when I enjoyed its business two years ago I did not hesitate to spend a large amount of money as an investment.

My Ruthless Stepbrother EPILOGUE
Now, both Zack and I have realized that trust is one of the most important core parts of a harmonic relationship. At least as of this time, we knew where we were lacking, and we are starting to correct our flaws from the past... "I'm sorry too, Zack, if I lost the trust in you the moment you left and I was hurt." "I understand. Always have been, Ryn." He nodded. "At least you had a reason, and it was valid. But mine? My jealousy let me suppress my whole mind, which led me to hurt you, and I was truly regretful of what I did. Little by little, I'll work hard to gain your full trust in me as how you trusted me when we used to be happy together during our school days, Ryn. I'll gain it back. I will wait for the day that you will trust me completely once more. I am never going to be leaving you or hurt you again. I'll work hard to earn back your trust." I nodded. "I love you so much, I won't deny you that thing, Zack. Everybody deserves another chance, and you deserve it. We don't need
My Ruthless Stepbrother 70- "Learned my lesson..."
Zack nodded gently and spoke, "It's okay. Answer it, Ryn." He reassured me it was okay. I answered the caller. "Dencel..." I said while glancing at Zack. He just stared and listened intently. "Hello, Ryn?" The caller spoke from the other line, too. I turned the loudspeaker on for Zack to hear whatever the conversation will be. "Why did you call?" I could feel my knees as weak as jelly as I was looking at my husband’s eyes. "Uhm, I just thought of your specialty coffee. Can you make one for me once I visit your cafe-resto maybe within this week?" he asked in his friendliest voice. Oh that! My promise to him. I suddenly frowned. "Uhm. Okay, Dens-" "Great!" He sighed with delight and in excitement. "So, when do you think is the best day to visit your cafe-resto? Tomorrow, maybe? Will you be there?" "I guess not, Dens. I will not be in Latte and Meal tomorrow." "Oh? Why? Where are you now?" I was about to answer when Zack suddenly held out his hand in front of me, an indicatio
My Ruthless Stepbrother 69- "Dencel's call..."
I nodded, sincerely willing to grant him complete forgiveness.Things from the past wouldn't matter anymore because my love for him is just as powerful as it forgives no matter what mistake he’d made."I love you, Ryn. Back then and always will. I really do love you."I burst into tears, feeling loved and cherished and delighted."Do you love me, too?" He asked me full of hope."I love you so much, despite the fact that you've been a bad love to me in the past." In the midst of our sobbing, I made a light-hearted joke. "As much as time has passed, my feelings for you have not lessened in the least. This affection I have for you has not faded despite all the suffering we've been through together."We were in the middle of happiness when my phone suddenly rang in the pocket of my shorts. I picked it up and saw mom calling."It’s Mom," I said as I dearly glanced at Zack.He nodded, giving me a go signal to answer the call."Mom?""Irryn, where are you now? Zack is waiting for you! For th
My Ruthless Stepbrother 68- "Kisses and hugs."
(Irryn's POV) I quickly got out of the house and traveled to General Santos. Yes, I was heading toward Zack. I already knew the answer to my questions. No. Anger is not enough and should not be an excuse to let the loved one go, and in my case, yes, I am angry with him. I was angry, but still, I could not afford to lose him. I will never be able to lose him again! I was crying while driving, and there was no one else in mind but him. I want to see him. I love to see and hug him again. I miss him a lot! "Brother Ryle!" It took me an hour of drive, and I finally arrived in General Santos. I went straight to Lamont Resort, and right at the entrance, I saw Ryle with his wife and their baby. They turned to me, and they were surprised, especially my sister-in-law. "Ryn? Ryn!" He first gave the baby he was holding in his arm to his wife, and then he approached me. We hugged each other—a siblinghood hug. "Ryn, how are you?" he asked excitedly. "I've missed you!" "Me too, brother. I'
My Ruthless Stepbrother 67- "Piece of advice..."
"What can I do? Irryn couldn't accept me anymore. She couldn't seem to forgive me any longer. No matter how sorry I am and no matter what I do to beg and plead for her forgiveness, it looks like she could no longer forgive me." "Just a piece of advice. Bro, naturally, part of love is hurting, right? I believe you also believe in that. That happens most of the time for most relationships, but don't get me wrong because I'm not using that as an excuse to hurt the person you love intentionally. What I intended to make you understand is that when you hurt the woman who means the world to you, leaving her behind will never be a solution. Leaving will not simply solve anything. Yes, you might have hurt her, but leaving her again after many years you left her because you committed another mistake? Bro, grow up! Leaving her for the second time will not make her forgive you!" I was struck big time by what Vandyke said. D*mn him for hitting the point and for lecturing me about things I should
My Ruthless Stepbrother 66- "Jealousy and insecurities."
"What? Your problem is Dencel and probably not me!" Vandyke defended himself. Gradually, I get to be close to Irryn again and I was able to make her heart beat for me as it did when we were younger. I know and I am positive that I have regained her love for me which she denied on the first days of our encounter after seven long years of being away from each other. I made everything to make her smile, laugh, and genuinely be happy again. At least, I had to cope with her the times and the years she was yearning in loneliness when I needed to live on my own. I saw love in her eyes once more, especially when we married and we get to live under the same roof. Now, I couldn’t help but hate myself for what I did to her. I let my aggressive emotions take me—my jealousy and insecurities, and my over-possessiveness towards her. Those things made me lose her once more, and there’s no guarantee that she can still forgive me for all the things that I’ve done. No matter how much I try to please
My Ruthless Stepbrother 65- "On one condition..."
I stayed in Davao to end my contract as a lowkey contract Engineer with the company I worked for. I had just finished the contract when aunt Fidelia called me, crying that she told me about daddy's real health condition, so I was sent home completely in no time. I found out that dad actually had a heart illness, and he needed an operation right away, according to our physician. But the stubbornness of Alanson Lamont did not want to undergo the operation. He said he didn't want to because he was old, but I knew the truth that he was just afraid of the operation and its process and the possible outcome. “What if it would fail? What if it wouldn’t turn out to be successful? What if I still get sick? There's no use for operation!" Dad's words were always his litany as excuses not to go through a heart operation which was required for him to undergo to prolong his life. "Dad! You won't get anywhere better if that's how you constantly think if that's how you always act immaturely and if t
My Ruthless Stepbrother 64- "Father and son..."
"Dad ..." When we finally ran into one another once more after so long, I almost couldn't believe it. "Zack son!" Daddy was emotional when he grabbed me with a hug. "Dad!" I couldn't contain my tears when I hugged him, too. "Dad, I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry too, son. I'm sorry." When the emotional reconnection was through, I brought him to my rented house. "How did you know I'm living here in Davao, dad?" "I had investigators on hand. Even throughout your first year in Davao, I kept an eye on you. I apologize if I did something like that behind your back but I simply worry a lot. Despite the distance between us, as your father, I felt it was my responsibility to check in on your well-being and make sure you were holding strong." I was surprised. "You had me watched and followed all this time?" He nodded gently. "As I said, I had to make sure you were living fine. When you graduated, I wanted to go to you. When you first got a job as an Engineer, I really wanted to go but I wasn't co
My Ruthless Stepbrother 63- "Unexpected visitor."
I just came back to my senses that hurting Irryn was not actually an enjoyable thing especially when I tried to assault her in the restroom. That day Anya caught me kissing another woman and I blamed Irryn for it. The truth was, I was not really hurt by the thought that Anya dumped me, I guessed it was my ego that has been hurt. I was also planning to admit to Anya the truth then, that I really don't like her and she is more deserving of others who will really love her wholeheartedly because I can't do that to her for I am always aware that I love someone else… From that moment, I finally let Irryn enter my heart completely, I know in myself that I have also admitted the long-held fact that I really like her. That I love her, romantically. I couldn’t accept her being a sister to me because I wanted more than that. I don't want to be her brother because I want more than sibling attachment to her. No matter how much we deny ourselves, hiding our feelings even when we finally get along
