The next morning, as soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw Daniel sitting at the counter with a serious look on his face and I immediately felt stupid.
"Of course, he is the one who did all this. And I was stupid enough to believe that he was a good person." I said to myself and angrily walked up to him.
"Daniel!" I screamed while walking towards him.
"Oh Olivia, thank God you are awake." He said before I could even get close to him. "Look at what I found lying on my bed when you left." He said and showed me a note.
It was the same as the one I saw last night as well and it had the same picture as well.
"Do not think for one second that I believe this act you are trying to put together. You did all these, didn't you?" I accused him.
"What?"
"I don't want to hear it but if you know what is good for you, then stay far away from me and delete these pictures." I said angrily and walked out of the house.

We decided to go to school and ignore the eerie events of this morning and with a smile on my face, I walked along the road that led to where I would be schooling. College, they said, was different from high school but I could not be bothered. As long as it was not filled with bullies like my high school was, I would be fine.
But the thought of having to go to school with my brother flashed through my mind and I shivered at having to see him everyday. Ignoring the sensation I felt, I walked through the school gate and was met with the amazing structures the school held.
I could not stop smiling. This was my dream. To go to college and keep learning. I was over the moon with excitement. But it did not take long before for that excitement to be washed off.
While staring in awe at the buildings before me, my eyes flashed to a girl who made my skin crawl. It was none other than my brother's mistress.
I can't remember everything she was wearing but the colors were so bright and quite frankly, they didn't compliment each other.
I knew she wanted trouble. I could see it in her eyes but I also knew that I did not want to get into trouble on my first day in school. Sighing softly, I moved away from her direction trying to ignore her but trouble always never wants to be left alone.
From my side eye, I saw her and her friends running towards me and I heaved another sigh.
"What now?" I said to myself as they stood before me. I could smell their cheap perfume and it reminded me of how badly I used to love such perfumes. At that point, I did not need anyone to tell me that these girls had nothing to their name but they held their shoulders high enough to fool anyone who could not see through them.
"Well well well, look who it is," she said with a coy smile on her face and I sighed in exhaustion.
"You know you have some nerves to show your face here. Tell me, how does it feel to have a brother who is so smart, talented and handsome when you are just a clumsy fat ass." She mocked me and I kept quiet while trying to walk away.
"Bitch," before I could say a word, she grabbed me by the arm and dragged me back. "You do not walk out on me. I own this place. I am in charge here and you will play my tunes." I could hear the spite in her voice as she spoke. "If you think that the nonsense you did at my man's apartment was not painful, then you are oddly mistaken. But not to worry, what I plan to do to you in this school will make you regret ever living."
When she addressed Daniel as her man, I felt my blood boiling. My head exploded at how she could address Daniel as her man.
"He is not your man!" I blurted out angrily, not bothered about what the consequences of my words would be but immediately I said those words, I almost wished I didn't. My blood ran cold at the looks on their faces and suddenly the whole place seemed to have gone quiet.
"What did you just say to me?" She seethed and my eyes widened as I saw her lift her hand. I closed my eyes, waiting for the slap that was about to land on my face but rather, I felt her turn me around and push me fully to the wall.
"You little witch. By the time I am done with you, you will regret ever living!" She shrieked as she began to tie my hands. I felt the cold grasp of the rope around me and suddenly my heart began to pound and I could feel pines of sweat dropping from my forehead. My heart began to race but somehow, my mouth could not mutter any words. The saliva in them had dried up due to fear of what she wanted to do to me
The girl showed no mercy. Ruthlessly, she tied my hands together and then advanced to tie my entire body. Somehow, I broke out of the shock I was in and I screamed
"Help! Somebody help me!" I continued screaming as loudly as I could but either they could not hear me or they were so scared of her that no one could help me.
"Help!" Still I persisted but my next words were sealed off by the duct tape they placed on my lips.
"Now you are going to regret what you just said." She said angrily as she dragged me to the hall.
I could feel my sandals slipping off my feet and the hot floor burning against my fragile skin as they dragged me to the entrance of the hall and they pinned me to a wall. My back landed on the wall violently and the pain gushed through my entire body.
But with the pain I felt, I struggled to break free but nothing I did could stop them. They looked small but they had the strength of a hulk and they held me down securely.
"This will teach you to watch your mouth around me!" Susan said as she grabbed her lipstick and drew it all over my face.
There was no mirror around but I knew that with her red lipstick on my face, I looked like the joker. I felt devastated and broken. How could someone be so cruel? I tried to hold back my tears even when I knew that they were still falling but as they fell, it did not help to soothe the ache and fear in my heart.
"Little slut!" She murmured as she wrote that on my forehead. The giggles of her friends overshadowed the tears that fell from my face.
But my tears meant nothing to them because with evil laughter, they ripped my clothes off my body and I felt totally naked.
"Move!" Susan said angrily as she opened the door and pushed me into the room full of Freshers and it dawned on me where I was.
I stood in front of a room filled with students and in less than a minute, I heard the outbursts of laughter and saw the mocking pointing of fingers.
My hands were tied behind my back and I could not even move them to cover up myself nor could I run. At that point, I allowed the tears to fall freely.
It was my first day in school and they had already gone out of their way to make it the worst day.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Susan said in a loud voice. "Allow me to introduce you to the newest slut in this college. Trust me, she is a cheap prostitute that will collect anything just to suck your dick. After all, just look at how she is dressed!" She said mockingly and laughed.
Their laughter all died down when the door bursted open.
"Susan!" It was the voice of my step brother and he was angry but I didn't care much for it. I was already on the ground, shattered and crying my eyes out while wishing that the floor would open up and swallow me.
The next thing I felt was his jacket that covered my nakedness.
"Daniel," Susan said in a soft voice and bent over to touch him.
"Don't you dare!" He said angrily and stood up
"So you're telling me that you actually have the audacity to touch my sister and you think you will get away with it?!" His voice was low and threatening and from the corner of my eye, I could see Susan shivering.
He grabbed the microphone from her and faced the crowd.
"Let me say this one last time, if any one in this room ever touches her again, I promise you, you will be met with a slow and painful death." He threatened them and carried me into his arms while I squeezed harder into his chest as we left the hall.
I was silent throughout our drive back to our penthouse but my heart was beating so fast, I was afraid that he could hear it. So many different thoughts ran through my mind. I remember vividly how I felt being held against his hard body. I could feel my hands trembling as I thought about it.I stole a glance at Daniel and his face was hard, as if he was angry and while he brooded in his anger, I took the time to admire his features. The man was handsome. The kind of beauty that would make any woman wet just at the sight and smell of him and he smelled like oak wood mixed with vanilla. He smelled delicious. My eyes moved to his lips and I yearned to touch it with mine. Unconsciously, I licked my lips as I thought of what it would feel like to kiss his and what it would taste like. 'No Olivia, this is not right,' I whispered under my breathe as he drove to our home and I tried to fight the feelings that were rising in me because just being so close to him was torture. "Someone's foll
DANIEL'S POVI was oozing with so much joy. Finally, Olivia was mine. I could not believe it. She was finally falling for my tricks and soon, when I was done with my plans, she will be at my mercy. My plan was simple.Make her suffer for all the pains her mom had caused mine. I was going to make sure that she did not escape my wrath. Because of her and what her mother did, my father left my mother and made the woman very sad. I could still remember promising my mom that I will do everything in my power to ensure that that woman suffered the same pains as my mother and I was not joking about it.Immediately I saw Olivia being introduced to me at that dinner as my step sister, the perfect idea came to my mind. I would make her fall head over heels in love with me and then when she least expected it, I would leave her just the same way my father left my mom because of her mother. I was so sure that seeing her daughter in so much pain would ruin the woman and may even make her leave
"Olivia, come on open up!" I could hear him banging on my door but my heart was already too broken to care. I squeezed my eyes some more as I thought of how foolish I actually was. Of course he was playing with my emotions. Of course he was not going to love me. Of course I was just a stupid girl who wanted more than she could have."Stupid and weak," I muttered to myself as I buried my face in my pillow and screamed, hoping that my screams will be muffled out.And they were. But Daniel did not stop knocking"Olivia, please let me explain. It's just an expensive joke between me and Stacy. You can't take this personally.""Daniel just fucking leave me alone!" I screamed at him hoping that he would leave and maybe then I would be able to steady my breathing. All I needed was to time to myself, some time to convince myself that I was not losing my mind even though it seemed like I was. The banging on my door stopped but I could still feel him there. Leaning on it. I imagined he had
Daniel's POV"What are you waiting for?" I growled at her but she still did not move. For a moment, I felt she was drowning in fear, maybe I had taken it too far with her.But I was still too mad to allow regrets to fill my eyes. I still could not stomach the fact that everything I was working on was about to be ruined because of her silly mistake. "Stacy!" I said as I shook her, trying to jolt her back to reality but the girl was already too far gone. Or so I thought. Suddenly, I felt her legs inbetween my thighs and she aimed it directly to my balls. "Ah!" I said as I winched in pains and suddenly let go of her. My sight was blurry from the pain I felt down there and she used that opportunity to run away. I could not see how far she had gone because I collapsed on the floor still groaning from pains.The pains shot up to my brain and I immediately felt like I may die. I had heard of how mind numbing this pain is but I never thought I would testify to it. I could not think,
"If I were you, I would stay very still." The low growl of the man who held my hands tightly resonated through my entire body and I froze. Even the scream that was about to come out of my mouth somehow found its way back into my throat. "Very good," he whispered into my ears as he gently stroked my hair and I shivered in fear. "Olivia!" Suddenly Ivy's voice rang out from my laptop and I could sense that she was worried. "Now princess, this is what you are going to do. You will put on a brave face, go to that laptop and you will tell your friend that you thought you saw a mouse and that was why you screamed. You will also tell her that you will get back to her later that you have something very important to do. Is that clear?" His voice was calm and I would have easily concluded that he meant no harm to me but the coldness of the knife tracing the outline of my neck reminded me that he was not my friend. "Okay," I said softly but that was not enough for him because suddenly he pla
I could not help the smile that laced my face as I saw the man who threatened to kill me few seconds ago, running around my room trying to find a way to escape. I know that he must have known Daniel and how ruthless he could be and it was obvious that he was very much afraid of him. Because if he wasn't, why didn't he still stand behind me and try to threaten Daniel using my life as hostage?It was either that or he knew who Daniel was and Daniel knew who he was as well. Using my eyes, I tried to find the key in my room. I would not be able to explain to Daniel who this man was but if Daniel knew who he was already, it would be easier for us to capture him and ensure that he did not come anywhere close to me again. All that would only be possible if I was able to find the key and open the door before he dashed out. Fortunately for me, Daniel opened the door just in time."Oh Daniel, thank God you are here." I sighed in relief as I ran to hug him His chest offered the comfort and
"Let's get this over with," I muttered under my breath and followed my girls to a booth, while trying desperately to ignore the turning in my stomach. If I had a choice, I wouldn't be sitting in the midst of these girls who had dared me to find a stranger and make out with him. But I lived a boring life and my best friend, Ivory, had suggested that this could be the fun I had always been looking for. As soon as we sat down, I immediately regretted listening to her. We had barely sat down when my girls started looking around the room, trying to pick the best guy for me to make out with. I stared at them in disgust. How could they be excited by the idea of making out with a stranger? I prayed silently for the alcohol to arrive and as soon as it did, I down every drop of mine and even drank Ivory's own. If I was going to do this, I was not going to do it with sober eyes. Still, the alcohol did not stop my feelings of anxiety from going on a rampage and at a point I felt like hurling
"No," I muttered under my breath as I watched the man that had me screaming in pleasure a few hours ago stand in front of me with a smile on his face. "Olivia, don't just stand there, greet them," my mom said violently and I immediately greeted."Good morning sir." "Oh no, call me Xavier and one day, I hope you will be comfortable enough to call me dad." I could see why my mom had agreed to marry a man she had just met five months ago. Just like Daniel, his father was a sight to behold. He had gray hair, a sharp and admirable face and a muscular body. Everything about him looked dream worthy and it all made sense to me. "Olivia, why don't you go bring the food from the kitchen? I am sure our guest must be starving." Mom asked and all I could do was nod. I was still shocked that I had slept with my step brother. This had to be an abomination and I was sure mom would never forgive me if she found out.Rushing to the kitchen, I heaved a sigh of relief and I stood there to decide tha
