My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 59: A WAY OUT
Chapter 53Author's pov"I know this paints me as a bad person, but it's not as bad as it looks," Blaze was seated across from his brothers, plates of untouched food on the dining table. He doubted anyone actually wanted to eat anyway."Actually, it paints you as a terrible person", Hunter chipped in, and Blaze looked at him exasperated. Not helping. "Am I allowed to explain?" He asked."Well, if there's a way to make it look proper for you to be lovers with your father's wife while he was alive, by all means, do so" Axel said. That was the most painful part of it all. "You both didn't even wait till Dad was dead; I mean, he was halfway to the grave already. Talk about being cruel.""Did Dad know?" Hunter asked in a low voice.Blaze suddenly wished he could say no. Anything to save his image in their eyes would do at the moment. He nodded slightly. "That was why he asked me at dinner the other day."Hunter gasped; Blaze's words were like a punch to his chest. He could only imagine t
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 60: SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS
Chapter 54AUTHOR’S POVIf anyone was lucky tonight, it was Seven for having the sense not to play that stupid capture game with Blaze. He guessed that Blaze was in a very bad mood, so Seven just opened the door before he could even knock and stepped aside for him to go in.Blaze was actually surprised, wondering if Bill had warned him. Just in time, he saw Bill standing a few steps away like he was waiting for Blaze all along."You're lucky,” He muttered, pushing past Seven to stand beside Bill. "It wouldn't have been funny if you failed again.""I know,” Bill said with a sly grin. "I had my best hackers on this one. Follow me."Blaze watched Bill turn, clenching his fists firmly. When he got just the right angle, he lunged forward and hit him squarely in the face. Bill blinked, staggering backward in alarm.Blaze clenched his fists again. "That's for letting Katie escape, and I'm not done with you yet." Then he stepped in front of Bill like he knew where his mystery caller was kept
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 61: WHEN THE MAN YOU LOVE
KATIE’S POV"Standing idle, are we?" Milicent muttered as she walked towards me, wiping her hands against her apron. That was something she liked to do, even though there was never anything to wipe off."Everyone is already settled," I told her, eyes moving over the space of the bar I now worked at. So far, I haven't seen anyone walk through the door, so I figured I could take a little break.The job wasn't stressful for me; naturally, I would be buzzing around, but the pregnancy was making me tired more than usual. Still, I was at least grateful for the chance to work here. I hadn't told my employer about my pregnancy, and I was scared that if I did, he would not fire me. No one would employ someone like me because I would take an extended break after just months of work, leaving him to find someone else to substitute. They would instead get someone who would stay much longer without interruption.So far, it was just the doctor that knew of my pregnancy. It wasn't something I wanted
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 62: THE MASK IS OFF
KATIE’S POVI glanced down and saw the tray on the floor. Glass cups shattered to pieces beside it, and their contents spilled. However, that disaster was nothing compared to the one in my heart. This was a foreign feeling to me, more painful than being sold away by my stepmother, more painful than being falsely accused of murder.I was vaguely aware of the eyes that were staring at me and the whispers that filled the room. They must be whispering about me, too. But none of that registered in my brain; all my attention was on the screen, and I watched Blaze tell our story the other way around.You beast, I thought, shaking with anger. Now, I was well and genuinely unredeemable. Worse than that was the fact that I was helpless in this situation. Not a say in the whole matter, not a way to defend myself. I never felt as powerless as I did at that moment.Then the television screen went blank, and I blinked. I could still see Blaze's image on it, printed in my mind. I wished I could rea
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 63: OUR LOVE IS GONE
AUTHOR’S POVBlaze stared at the unknown number that was calling skeptically. He was starting to dread answering unknown callers, and he didn't want someone else to pop out of the blues with some hidden secret of his and give him more trouble. He had only barely escaped this one. His saving grace was that Axel already had everything ready by the time he got back from Bill's, as opposed to him saying it could wait till the next day.Well, since everything was set, he thought, why not just do it and get it over with? Then, some normalcy would be restored to his life. Maybe this person calling was one of the reporters who hadn't made it in time to witness and capture the live speech. He sighed, shifting away from Lily's embrace. She looked up at him, her almond eyes questioning, and he smiled apologetically. "I'll be back," he told her and exited the roomHe had been surprised to see her in the house, and of course, she had her questions. He has been able to offset that and use her to p
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 64: MEMORY LANE
BLAZE’S POV"Hi, Lily and Cicely," Hunter said, letting the two ladies in with a massive smile.I glanced up at them, pausing the crazy tap dance his fingers were doing on the laptop. Now, why did the ladies decide to come over today? Last I checked, it was Maverick who always invited them over. Well, I guessed that with my progress with Lily, she was a family member now, and I would be seeing a lot of them from now on. "Hey babe," I said as Lily walked up and wrapped her arms around my neck. She smelt like vanilla, her honey-blond hair soft on my skin. "To what do I owe this honor?" I put forth and watched her giggle.“Well, Cicely wanted us to come over and spend time with you guys. Plus, I missed you.” She answered."Yup, that's right," Axel's girlfriend butted in. "This house must be pretty boring without a female in it. You know, all you guys do is sit in front of your systems and ignore each other all day. How do you even survive?""By doing exactly what you said," I muttere
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 65: CAUGHT IN FEELINGS
BLAZE’S POV"Hmm, this isn't half bad," Axel grunted, biting into the pancake he was holding. Ultimately, the family activity was over, and the girls finally let us out of the kitchen. It was a laughable sight, seeing us in aprons with flour on our hands. I wondered what the servants were thinking."Half bad?" Lily yelled, her eyebrows arched. "It would have been perfect if you boys didn't join us.""Oh please, spare us next time," I countered, and laughter filled the air."Anyways, thanks for this, Cicely," I gestured to her, and she nodded."Leaving already?" Lily asked the second I rose.I nodded, startled that she rose too. "I'm just going to sit in the parlor,""I'll come with you." She responded, shrugging. I pulled my lips apart to say something, anything, but there was no reason to tell her to stay back.You might as well start getting used to her clinginess."What are you thinking about, Blaze?" Lily asked as she lay on the couch beside me, her head resting on my thighs. I le
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 66: I THINK I LOVE HER
AUTHOR’S POVThe air felt suffocating, and the mood of the whole hall was off. Hunter looked around, and of course, everyone was dressed in black. He had on a black suit too, and he sat between his brothers, trying not to let the tears slip. Because they weren't crying, even though he was sure they wanted to, and he could be strong like them. They were the only ones he had to look up to now, both of them successful men, and if he couldn't even follow in the tiniest of their footsteps, then there was no way his life would be as good as theirs."You good, bro?" Axel whispered, leaning closer to him. He had been watching him through the corner of his eyes, and his lower lip kept trembling. He didn't want him to start bawling right here.Hunter nodded, a tense look on his face. "I'll be fine."He looked up as Blaze rose, right in the front seat of the gathering, and left with a stone-cold expression on his face."Is it just me, or does he look angry?" Axel asked as Blaze disappeared thro

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
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 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 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 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 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
