My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER EIGHT: THE DARE
KATIE’S POV“Fix me something.” I heard the familiar voice say. The coldness it held sent a sprinkle of fear down my spine, causing me to slowly pull my eyes apart just in time to see him talking to Anna.My body had gotten used to the little nap after the day’s hectic movement. The weakness I felt was an evident means of my body telling me I needed rest. But I doubted my heart would ever be at peace if I did not address this.“Blaze!” I called out softly and watched him tilt his head to look my way before he slowly dragged his eyes back, feigning ignorance of my presence. “I want to…” My words were cut short the second he started to walk upstairs, and I quickly sprung up, trailing behind him too, walking as fast as I could to keep up with his pace.“I need to talk to you, Blaze. Wait.” I informed him, but the words fell on the complex, marbled floor because I got no reaction from him.His steps got farther as he did all possible things to place gaps between us. I had to run a little
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER NINE: SHE IS MY MOM!!
KATIE’S POV I barely slept a wink all night because every time I closed my eyes, I would find him there, standing close to me or, worse, still lying in bed next to me. It was as though Blaze loved torturing me, but this time, it was just my mind playing tricks with me.“Hi.” I greeted them casually as I stepped closer to them. They were all having a meal. “Sorry, I slept late.” I apologised, my head banging a little.My eyes met his as he sat across the table, and I could feel my cheeks heat up. However, his eyes held no emotions, and it was as though he was unaffected by last night. Gradually, he pulled his eyes away to land back on his meal.Settling down into a seat beside Maverick, I watched a staff dish my food. Silence hung in the air, thickening with each second that passed by. It was as though they were all robots controlled by their owners, having no say on their own.Was this what being a family meant? Seconds blended into minutes, and soon, our plates were abandoned, with
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER TEN: GLIMPSE OF DEATH
KATIE’S POVMy mind was currently blank without any thoughts. All I did was stare at the beautifully carved ceiling of my room as I lay on my queen-sized bed in my pyjamas. I sighed as I rolled around, feeling very restless. The sound of a knock on my door made me perch up on my elbow and stare at the door like it had done something else that it wasn't designed to do. The knock came again, and I scrambled to my feet, yelling, “ Coming.” I pulled the door open, and lo and behold, Maverick stood at the other side, hair tousled about, suit missing, two buttons of his white shirt unbuttoned, his sleeves were rolled up, and you would never believe he was the father of three sons. I cleared my throat when I realized I was staring at him like a dead fish. “ Oh, Maverick, hi.” “ Hey, Katie,” “ Wh-what brings you around here?” That's probably the most abnormal question a wife could ever ask her husband. But the thing is, Maverick and I are strangers. We're not a normal modern couple, and
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER ELEVEN: FLEET OF EMOTIONS
KATIE'S POVI was watching him like a hawk, and when I saw his fingers move, I sat up instantly, praying that it was my eyes and lack of sleep that was deceiving me. The doctor has said that he would wake up anytime soon, but that didn't guarantee anything.But when I saw his fingers move again, I yelled silently for joy, punching the empty air with my fist. I moved closer to him and leaned against the bed stand. A small groan escaped his lips as he shook himself awake. When his eyes opened, they didn't open fully, but àinto slits before he shut them back immediately due to the bright sunlight. “ Oh fuck! That was bright.” He yelled and slowly adjusted his eyes to the intensity of the light. Although I did notice something, he still looked weak, and his voice wasn't loud, but it was audible and clear. “ Katie? What are you doing in my– Where is this? Where am I?” He asked, looking around.“ Maverick, you're in the hospital. You fainted, and we had to rush you here for treatment.” I
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER TWELVE: THIS IS WHO I AM
KATIE'S POV“ …okay, Katie?” “ Uh,” I jerked out of my dream state and stared at Maverick. “ Did you say something?”“ Yeah, I asked if you were alright. You don't look like yourself. You keep zoning in and out of your thoughts, and you're barely listening to what I'm saying. Did something happen back home?” Maverick asked, his voice full of concern.Did something happen at home? Of course, but it's not like I can tell you that I kissed your son. For goodness sake! I kissed his son. What will happen when he finds out? I can't even beg Blaze to keep it a secret, and the jerk wants me out of his house and his father's life. I'm not a lut or a whore, but if I'm married to a man and reacting to his son in a way that is not socially acceptable, then what does that make me? Argh! I'm starting to sound like Blaze. I can't let him get into my head. Realizing that I still hadn't replied to Maverick, I smiled and said, “ I'm fine. Honestly, I'm just thinking of how to help you improve your
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER THIRTEEN: THE HAZY TRULIES
KATIE’S POVEven though I'd already told them not to, they were still thinking about it. I should have told them not even to show it on their faces as well. “ It has come to my understanding that you wish to terminate the contract between our companies. May I ask why?” I asked, adjusting the lapels of my jacket while directing the question at the owner of the company.“ We just felt that Griffin wave line is very incompetent for the job. We received Intel from within the company, that it isn't what it used to be. The workers no longer have a sense of direction, and the owner of the company will die soon. What will happen to our shipment when he dies and the company collapses? That will be a loss on our part.” He finished off.And the first thing in my head was, who the darn Intel could be? Why would someone working in the company want to sabotage their place of work?“ Mr…” “ Richard.” “ Mr. Richard, how did you verify the integrity of this information? For all we know, it could b
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER FOURTEEN: WHO KNOWS THE TRUTH?
KATIE'S POVBut I'm smarter. So if I ever wanted to bug someone's car, with a possibility that they would find it, I won't use a big one that lights up like a freaking Christmas tree. So where would I keep it? Definitely a place that I'm sure won't be checked for a long, long time. Not the back, not the dashboard, not the dashcam, not behind the seats….seats! Beneath the seats! I bent down immediately and pulled my hand underneath the passenger seat, making sure to caress and romance every single dent, hook, shape, and space. I came up empty. But when I checked beneath the driver's seat, surprise, surprise, a small nub. I pulled it out and behold a little bug. You would never notice it was there and almost think it's a part of the car. I got out and smashed it beneath my feet. No need to check for fingerprints. It has definitely been placed there for a very long time. I went back inside, took my dinner, watched a movie and slept some more. The next morning, I'd just finished d
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER FIFTEEN: SUCKING THE DEVIL’S BALLS
KATIE’S POVI looked at him and met his piercing, intense gaze. “ Get ready to draft out a contract. The two companies need to partner up soon. I like it.” The secretary mirrored the look of relief on my face. I guess she thought he would disagree. Maybe he isn't that bad after all.But I spoke too soon. Blaze is just a demon that doesn't miss business with pleasures. He liked the offers we made, but he didn't like me, and he came to my office to prove just that.“ I didn't know the gold-digging wench was also so brilliant.” I sighed and didn't even bother to look up at him. My gaze was fixed on the document one of the staff had brought to my attention. “ Are you going to ignore me? You had a problem doing that during the meeting, and now you suddenly don't care.” He said again as he leaned against the table.“ It's working hours, Blaze. I'd appreciate it if you didn't disturb me. We can always do this some other time. It's not like you ever run out of words to say to me. You kno

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
