My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 123: SHE LOVES HER
Katie's pov"I'm so glad you decided to get back to dancing," I said, beaming as I arranged the tables. It was really early in the morning, and Zuhra had come over to say hi. After which, she went off to the studio. If not for anything, I'm glad that the talk she had with Brooklyn made her rethink her decision. "Whatever did she say to get you back to the studio?" I asked.Zuhra swirled the clear liquid in her cup with her straw. "Won't you like to know? Instead, I get a text saying you went off somewhere. With Blaze, Tess. Of all people."I would have thought she was jealous again, but her tone was so light and cheery. I paused what I was doing to look at her closely."What? Do I have a bug in my hair or something?" She leaned away from my scrutiny. "Brooklyn must have worked some magic on you to get you back to this state."That was the only logical explanation for the sudden free energy around my friend. She was way more comfortable to stay around now."Oh please, that's nothing
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 124: IT’S TIME
Author's pov "Zuhra," Katie managed to say, wincing at the next contraction that came. "It's time."She'd been having a nap, too tired to do anything else. She'd stopped work last month in preparation for the baby, and she was grateful that her labor didn't come when she was in a place full of people. As much as she wished she could have continued, she didn't fancy that at all."Are you in labor, Zuhra?" she asked, noticing that she was panting over the phone."Yes," Katie said. "Sorry if I'm disturbing, but you're the only one I can call right now.""It's no biggie," Zuhra brushed off her apology. In truth, she was glad she was the one Katie called. It made her feel much more special to her. "I was just getting in some last-minute workouts anyway, and I'll be there in a few minutes."And in a few minutes, she was there. Katie heard a horn outside and managed to peep through the window. There was a car parked, and she saw Zuhra alight from it. She heaved a sigh of relief. At leas
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 125: HAPPY EVER AFTER
Katie's povI smiled at Olivia as she cradled my baby in her arms. The look of adoration on her face was ethereal. I wished the child would stay awake, but she seemed to love sleeping too much.At least the doctor said that was normal; she was born only yesterday, after all—no cause for worry."Gosh, Tessa, she's so cute," Olivia gushed, moving closer to Jonah, who peeked at her. He smiled, too.I laughed. "Looks like that little girl already had a lot of adoring grownups to spoil her with treats. Had them charmed just at a glance.""Will you be coming back to work soon?" Keisha asked.I was trying to be civil to her, but I still couldn't get over the fact that even after my warning, she gave out my number to Brooklyn.But she wasn't here to make trouble; she just happened to be among the people Vivian sent to visit me so I would be kind."In a few weeks, I think," I said, shrugging."You mean a few months, right?" Olivia corrected. "No way you're going to be working so soon.""You ca
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 126: OR NOT
Katie's povI blinked, confused. I could have sworn that my eyes were open, but surely, if they were, I would be able to see something. As it was, there was just nothing—pitch-black darkness, the oppressive kind that seemed to close in on you.I shut my eyes again and opened the—same thing. Now I was getting worried. In a rush, it all came back. I was in the car, just discharged from the hospital. There was music, and there was my baby in my arms.A baby that was no longer there since my hands were bound in front of me. I could barely feel my hands, and they were bound so tightly. I shifted, noting that there was a wall behind me, which I was leaning on.My feet were bound, too, most likely with the same material. I hated being tied up. It reminded me of the time when I was sold to the Griffins, a time I never wish to remember anymore.But at the moment, that was the least of my problems. Where was my child? Whoever had taken me couldn't have taken her away, too.It only became hard t
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 127: DANGER
Author's pov No, Katie gasped as Blaze fell to the ground. All that came out, though, was a frantic intake of breath, as she could not speak through the gag she hated so much. After all she had tried to tell Blaze, this stupid piece of cloth prevented her from saying anything.She wished she could rip it off, but her hands were bound, too. They had been since the first day. She glared at the man who knocked Blaze out, wishing she could wipe that smug grin off his face.He turned to her. "Don't look at me that way; he was foolish to come alone."He crouched to her level. "And if he did alert the police, then I'm afraid we'll have to kill you immediately. Either way, our mission will be accomplished."If looks could kill, he would be burned to smithereens by now. First, he wouldn't tell her anything about her child, and now he was threatening to kill her. After keeping her here for days, he did not even have a clue what to do to get him to free her."Just tell me what you want. Why do
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 128: THE INSIDER
Author's pov Katie gasped, staring at Axel. Of all the people she would have suspected, he wasn't even near her suspect list. Tears blurred her vision as she remembered what he said about her daughter."You beast!" she screamed, lunging forward. Curse these ropes; she would have been able to do something terrible to him. She wanted to hurt him just as he hurt her."How could you? All this while, after how close I was to your family, this is how you treat me? Why?" It was pointless straining to reach him; she slumped against the wall in defeat."I'm sorry about the child. That was not my intention. But it is what it is," Axel began, shrugging as he spoke. He had been shocked to hear."Fuck you, Axel!" Blaze thundered. How could he say he was sorry now? For killing his child, someone he hadn't even met in person.Blaze took a deep breath to calm himself down. The level of anger he was feeling was overwhelming, and the fact that he had no means to channel it out was the worst thing abou
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 129: THEM?
Chapter 133Author's pov Blaze raised an eyebrow. "I'm surprised." The answer was clear: if their places were switched, he would eliminate Axel before he could ruin the big plan."Surprised?" Axel asked. "You didn't think I'd be able to kill you if necessary?""No, I'm surprised we might think the same way," Blaze clarified. He saw the twitch in Axel's jaw, showing that he was irritated by that statement, which made him smile."Not the same way, brother. I'm way ahead of you.""Correct me if I'm wrong, but are both of you arguing about who thinks better right now?" Katie asked, turning to Blaze.Blaze nodded. "I'm trying to make sure there isn't a bigger brain behind this plot of his. Hard to believe it's just you, Axel."And not only that, he was stalling for time. Anything to keep Axel from rounding off his plan soon because if that happened, he would kill both of them so quickly.He wasn't afraid for himself, but Katie concerned him. She was already broken, and having no hope of s
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 130: OR THEM?
Katie's povI gasped, staring at the limp bodies of Lily and Axel. "Oh my gosh, are they dead?" I exclaimed."Not dead, darling," the woman said. "These are stun guns," she waved the gun in her hand for emphasis."What kind of stun gun allows the victims to talk to?" Lily muttered against the floor. It was a comical sight seeing her lying there helpless when a moment ago she was gloating over us."The type we use, obviously," the woman replied. I squinted at her, unable to bear my curiosity anymore."Who are you?" I was trying to decide if she was a hero or a villain. She teetered on the edge of both, and I wouldn't say I liked that.She turned to me with a sigh and took off her mask. I gasped, eyes widening as I stared into the face of my former savior. The one person who believed me when I said I didn't kill Maverick and who helped me escape.Right on time again to get me out of this situation. "Doris?" I asked."Not just her." The man beside her said, taking off his mask too. I gas

My Stepson Is a Bully EPILOGUE
Axel followed the man who came to take him out of the cell. He wasn't sure how long he spent here, but long enough to be really glad to be out. The smell of soap lingered on his skin, a bit too strong, but he welcomed it. It had been a long time since he used soap."There's your ride," the man said, pointing at the sleek red Camry parked in the parking lot of the station. In front of it stood Katie, arms crossed around her protruding middle.Axel felt a sad smile tug at the corners of his lips. Even in jail, he heard of the marriage between Katie and Blaze when Cicely came to visit.His smile disappeared as he remembered her expression when she spoke. The wistfulness in her eyes... It was obvious that she wished for her wedding, and she couldn't even have it soon.He had long made up his mind to marry her immediately after he got out of jail. He was able to beg her forgiveness, and she must really love him for actually letting all he did go. She assured him she'd wait; that was the onl
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 133: A HAPPY ENDING?
Author's pov Axel sat on Cicely's bed after several minutes of pacing the area and waiting for her to show up. Where the hell has she gone? He was considering going out to search for her when the door opened.But it was not Cicely who stepped through; and it was Lily with a painted expression on her face. "Axel," she began.He already knew what she wanted. Now that their plans had flopped, she probably wanted them to come up with a bigger plan."Save it, Lily, we're through." He shook his head in regret. "I was so foolish ever to think that this would actually work.""What do you mean by we're through?" Lily asked. "We're in this together, right?"Axel sighed. "Let it go, Lily. Find a way to get a new life...""A new life?" She looked devastated. "But I'm pregnant... I have nowhere to go, and you can't just leave me alone.""I have to," Axel replied. "I have to make things up with Blaze, and I know I'll be able to do that if I try.""And what about me, Axel?" Lily said, raising her v
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 132: LET IT OUT OF THE BAG
Author's pov Blaze grinned as Tristan made his way to the dining room, where he and Katie were seated. It was a miracle how he could track his location with his phone number and then check all the buildings around for them. He never would have asked for a better friend; Tristan had already proven himself in more ways than he could count.Katie looked up from her phone. "Is that the man going to give us updates?" she asked.Blaze nodded. He was surprised Katie wasn't running from him by now. She even let him stay in her house without him asking. It made him wonder if the past few days' events had softened her towards him instead of making her hate him. He tried not to get his hopes up, though; her niceness didn't mean she'd like to end up with him, as he started to hope for. He couldn't help hoping, no matter how ridiculous it sounded.He wanted Katie back in his life despite all that had happened. As far as he was concerned, he was done with Lily. Katie should have been the one fro
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 131: MOMENT OF TRUTH
KATIE’S POVNo way, I thought, staring at him and searching for any resemblance to Maverick. I could see none, but then again, I could barely see Maverick's face clearly in my mind. It had been so long ago, like another lifetime."You're lying," Blaze accused. With how he looked at Dylan, I was almost glad he was restricted from doing anything to him. Almost, though, in truth, I wished Blaze was free."Am I now?" Dylan said quietly, coming closer to Blaze. "When my mother got pregnant for your father, he left her, all because he saw a richer woman. You see, Maverick was a coward. His only way to survive was to milk off others' profits, and that's really who you're defending," he asked, turning to me.I stared at him, taking each word with a pinch of salt. I didn't want to believe him since he was the reason I was trapped here, and he even tried to kill me at the end of all this.But then, there was no other explanation for the absolute hate in his eyes as he spoke of Maverick. And why
