The special guests

My mom and I prepare our best to welcome her special guests.

When the moment we had been waiting for arrived, I saw the figure of a handsome man who was mature and seemed to be the same age as my mother.

As soon, as I see my mom kiss him and hold him so tight, she looks so happy.

“Claire, this is Mason Greenwood, he was my boyfriend, and we will get married soon.” My mom looks so happy and flattered.

I'm smiling and introducing myself to him, I feel so happy for them, Mason looks so wonderful, and he looks deeply in love with my mom.

But suddenly, I realized something wrong with him, and I remember another Greenwood.

I suddenly thought about Ethan Greenwood. But I think that's different from him, that's impossible because Mason was a very nice and great guy, he must be so different from Ethan.

“Anyway, where is your son?”

“He already prepares himself, he will come to us soon.”

And suddenly, my nightmare was coming true, the young man who came to us was Ethan Greenwood.

“Ethan?” I was shocked and reflected to call him.

Ethan still doesn't realize that I am Claire, a girl who is always bullying and hurting, making my school feel like a nightmare every time he's around me.

Ethan can't take his eyes off me, he looks so focused that it makes him blush.

“So you guys already know each other?” Mason tease us.

“Yes, I'm Claire and Ethan is my classmate.”

“Good, Wow, so you too will get along well and go to school together.” Mason looks so happy.

“Claire, is that you? You look so different.” Ethan looks shocked.

I nod and kept staring at him, seeing how weird and mesmerized he was after seeing me showing the best version of myself.

“So we will get married tomorrow.” My mom looks so happy, I never saw her so happy like this before since my dad left us when I was a kid.

“Okay, I'm so happy for both of you, I'm eagerly awaiting all the best in preparing for your guys' wedding.”

“Thank you so much, Claire.”

That's what I should do because I want to see my mom happy like before, she looks so happy with her relationship with Mason, so I think all the best to support her.

But Ethan was my bully, everything will seem like a nightmare for me.

I must do my best to escape from him, once I finish school, as soon I will leave him and move to another country for my undergraduate study.

The next day, all the Greenwood servants seemed very busy preparing for the wedding of Mason and my mom.

I immediately went to the bathroom to take a bath and put on the dress that my mom had given to me.

But suddenly, I see Ethan right next to my room, and he got closer to me.

“I can't wait for us to become step-siblings, I must be so happy, anyway don't ruin all the beautiful moments between our parents, and just let them be happy.”

“I do Ethan, I want to see my mom happy, I don't need your advice.”

Ethan pull his body closer to me, grabbed my hands, and kiss it.

“But, you will need me and be completely attracted to me Claire, that will be so irresistible for you, just wait, the time will be the answer.”

“S-stop it, Ethan! What are you doing?”

He smirks and leaves me, without saying anything.

I am just done preparing myself and all the best for my mom's happiest wedding day and I see myself looking so perfect, I think I will keep my looks as the new Claire.

I try to look for fresh air and open the window, but suddenly, I see Jake already waiting for me in the hall. And keep waving his hands at me.

“Claire, I'm here, please come to me!”

As soon, as I go downstairs to meet him. And Jake looks so handsome today in his suit, he seemed to know if today is an important day for me, even though I didn't tell him.

“Why you don't tell me about your mom's wedding? I just know it from her when I kept calling you but no answer, and she tells me anything, so I suddenly change myself and am ready to celebrate your mom's wedding with you.”

“Oh yeah Jake, I'm so sorry, but this is all unexpected for me, I apologize for not telling you before.”

“Anyway, I have a beautiful gift for you Claire, I hope we will follow your mom and I want we get marry soon.”

“What?” I feel shocked and think twice to understand Jake's words.

Jake takes something from his pocket, and he shows me a beautiful icy looks diamond necklace, that's exquisite.

“This is for you Claire and let me help you to wear this.”

I close my eyes and let Jake help me to wear that beautiful diamond necklace, but suddenly, I feel shocked after hearing someone shouting at us.

“Hey! What are you guys doing there?”

I see Ethan who has been tidy with his suit, he looks so handsome and irresistible, but he looks so mad at me and Jake.

“What are you doing here? Stay away from Claire!” Jake looks so upset and comes closer to Ethan.

“Nothing can separate us, and we will live together because I will be her stepbrother, if you want to get along with her, you must ask me first, but that's just useless because I will never let you be with her.”

“What a ridiculous Ethan, all this time you always bully her with your girlfriend Mia, and now you would like to be with her? I do not trust you, you should stay away from her!”

“No one can go against my orders, including yourself Jake, I want you to stay away from her!”

“No I can't, she was my girlfriend, and know what you want!” Jake pulled Ethan's shirt tight and was ready to punch him.

“No, please stop. Don't ruin my mom's happiest day, please stop.”

I try to confront the anger between Jake and Ethan, but they still look so mad and each other.
