STEPBROTHERS 24
Elena’s pov;“No! we have to watch this one.”“Ugh what the- NO. This is so cliché.”“You both shut up, we’ll watch it, if everyone agrees on it.” Ella hushed the kids down. Their simultaneous bickerings was bringing an ache to my head.Damien and the birth giver had already left for their honeymoon, so us kids and the elders were the only ones left. And that’s how the boys all came to a conclusion that they should have a movie night.And if you’re thinking how did I end up here in the cinema room? well, basically I was dragged none other than Ella and Elias. Their words and I quote, ‘you should get to know the boys and your Uncles more.’As if they care, eh. So here I am, sitting in a secluded corner with a boring expression resting on my face. Quite ironic, no?“Aunt El, please please, Star-Wars.” Shane uttered with a whiny face.“Grow up, little Shane.” Adrian replied, with a smirk.“But-"“What do you wanna see, Elena?” Ella suddenly asked, abruptly silencing the boys up once aga

Elena's pov; Fall and leave everything behind as if nothing happened. Some people adapt to their surroundings but some don't. Those who don't always pay the harsh price. They never forgive but instead they live with those harsh memories and torture themselves with those thoughts until nothing is left. "Red or blue?" "Ew, no to both!" "You're just jealous I can wear this but you can't." Ella snickered, looking at Elias. I sighed leaning back on the red couch as the brothers counterattacked Ella with their lazy comebacks. Earlier the day, Ella suddenly threw her opinion of going to the beach and the family agreed to it without any issue. And I? as always want to stay back. But these people can't let me. Ryder replied, "why would Elias want to wear that? he ain't even a goddamn female." She huffed and crossed her arms over her puffy chest, "Whatever." Her gaze shifted on the pilled up clothes. "Elena, are you really not coming with us?" I shook my head. "No." "But why? We c

Elena's pov;"You look so pretty and beautiful, Elena. This light red color suits you a lot."Here, I stood infront of the mirror, with a full sleeved floral sundress hanging from my body till my ankles in the most elegant way.From my view, I looked nowhere pretty infact I looked ugly as hell---extremely fat, tan-skinned and a disgusting cookie."You should wear these earrings. My youngest, Tyler got these for me on my birthday." Ella showed me their reflection in the mirror. They were beautiful and almost to shiny for my eye. Diamond studs with a green outline.These type of jewelry pieces weren't made for me. I shook my head. "No, thankyou Ella. You've already done enough." She cocked an eyebrow. "Are you sure? these go with your dress though.""Thanks again Ella, but I would have to decline." I replied blankly.The problem was if I wore them, the boys would have questioned me and I didn't want that to happen. Not anymore. My thoughts were interrupted by Felix's voice and knockin

Elena's pov;The summer breeze flew with pressure, leaving a tingly sensation on my bare neck."Sunscreen?" Ella asked. Her own hands filled up with an ample amount of cream which she vigorously applied on her naked arms and legs.I shook my head and got up, muttering. "I'll be back. Just going for a quick stroll." Without hearing Ryder's reply, I went further away from the happy family.To me, it felt like a huge sin when I sat with them. They looked peaceful with each other and to be honest, I didn't won't another argument to rise because of me.My trails of thoughts died down as I neared the ocean.A small smile grazed my face. The wind harshly collided with my body, making me feel the emotions I longed for, since young.The lapping majestic aqua waves came crashing onto my naked feet, wetting my dress in the process.My whole soul was hypnotized by the powerful emerging tides. It was beautiful, alluring and calming at the same time.Gripping my dress, I lifted it up till my mid fo

Elena's pov;"This is not necessary."I looked at him with blankness and sighed. Stephan had uttered this sentence for the fiftieth time, almost giving me an ache in my head. "Can you be quiet for a freaking second?!" I silenced him and grabbed the aid-kit from the nearest shelf.He cocked an eyebrow, clearly hating the fact I was talking back to him."Watch it, Elena." He tsked and took a seat on the bed and placed a fluffy pillow on his lap, making himself comfortable as ever."Are we here for a bed time movie?" He vaguely asked.I marched towards him and took a seat beside him. "What do you think?" I mocked back and took out an ointment from the mid section."You're acting like I can't handle this little childish bruise."I opened the cap and squirted some of the light beige thickness on my finger. "And you're acting like a ten year old child right now who can't stop his blabbering." He pursed his lips in a thin a line but his resting gaze on my face was sharp and alarming.Bringin

Elena's pov;The lunch was boring.The family had chatted with each other whilst I stayed quiet through the whole time, just hoping for the time to pass by. Stephan momentarily gazed at me for few times but I ignored the usual.Now, finally I was in my assigned room, alone. Away from everyone. The younger ones were busy playing something in the game room of the hotel however the older ones were already gone to their rooms, to rest. Elias did ask me, but I'd clearly denied.I leaned against the metal.The cool air slapped my face but I honestly didn't care. It was refreshing and calming as ever. Something about being alone with your thoughts brought a sense of superiority because I knew I would fight them off like a soldier in a war. But on the other hand, the memories painted me in the color red. The type of red which couldn't be washed away no matter how much you tried to get rid of it.Life is just venomous. One second it gives you happiness and excitement while the other second it

Elena's pov;I wasn't a bright child but I knew better to obey or act nicely with a stranger I hardly met.The truth is, I didn't knew why I insisted on repaying him---he could be serial killer or kidnapper for all I know. But...something within my gut told me to follow him. And for me my gut feeling was always right.But as they say, 'intuitions can be unpredictable.' So you never know where you'll land.Half an hour had probably passed since he'd left me here by myself. I had heard loud chatters from the second floor. Laughters and giggles, followed by playful yellings.I shifted towards the wall, attempting to relief the numbness that had spread all over my feet. Both of them ached however I suppressed it.I inhaled a deep breath and wrapped my arms around myself, instantly regretting when the scattered scalds rubbed against the shirt. Hissing, I lifted my arms to see the damage on the upper side of my hand, again. For me something about examining my injuries was like digging a hid

Elena's pov;"Uh, I'm totally fine."Her hand flew up, silencing me. "You've got to get this treated. Otherwise, this might get infected."I shake my head, in a no. But instead listening to me, she grabbed my wrist softly and added, "it must have hurt, yes?""No, it doesn't." My spine straightened. "I have to leave, my brothers will be worried."The word, 'brother' brought a sour taste, however I didn't let it bother me, not even to the slightest.She took a quick glance at my face, before tugging me back into the penthouse. I inwardly let out a groan. This women has no idea, how'll her family will react.She walked taking the lead and I let her pull me to the living area, where I could hear distant laughs and shouts.My head lowered. For some reason, the shiny floor was perfect to look at."Mama?" She halted and I followed her actions. Each pair of eye stopped at us---specifically me. "Didn't she go? Why would you bring her back?" This time her husband spoke with authority.His words

Elena's pov:Did I ever tell how much I hated Maths?It was one of the subjects which gave me extreme anxiety, one way or the other.The teacher had introduced me to the class, showcasing me as a piece of object and I'd gave out fake smiles after another.That had given me more anxiety, but now that had been gone and I was completely settled in the back with no one as my bench mate.I sigh for the hundredth time, before glancing back at the clock which hadn't moved an inch from the last two decades.Can't this go any faster?Is this even normal?"You look like you'll pass out at any minute," a sweet light voice muttered from behind me. "Actually, count me in. Miss Lovings is too boring."I stifled a chuckle before I turned around my seat and found the prettiest girl alive. She was tan-skinned, with perfect green eyes and freckles adorning her face and oh! she was a red-head too.Quite perfect, if I'd say."Her way of teaching maths is not up to my level and why does she look like dyin

Elena's pov:"Can't we stay here, for two more days?" Ella whined in the back of the car. And this was the first time I found her extremely annoying.It wasn't her problem but infact it mine.After what had happened three days ago, happened again. Sylvie was most of the time with the brothers and the cousins. And even her family had lunch with us and not to forget dinner as well. It was like they were some sort of close family friends by the way they laughed with each other.Even the other older ones, specially Elias, Stephan liked Sylvie's humor and this did made me jealous to some extent.The whole time, I never came out even when they asked me. I simply told off them a lie---that I'd fallen sick.And yes, I was ignoring them all, even Elias."Mum, isn't this vacation enough for ya?" Tyler mumbled from beside her.She lightly gasped. "No boy. A women needs her sun and sand from time to time."I sighed and leaned against the window, watching as the trees went by."Mom we have school,

Elena's pov:"Stop the nonsense, let's go.""Nonsense? How come? When clearly she comes everywhere Andi."I internally scoff at her comment. Averting my gaze towards her, I cock my brow. "Excuse me?"She glances at me, a snarl immediately forms on her face.How come a child at her age could endure such hatred for some stranger, except me ofcourse."You're following us." She stated, while pointing her finger at me.Her brother Andrius, looked at her before looking back at me. Apparently he seemed quite uninterested in her sister's tantrum.I cross my arms over my chest defensively. "And why would I?"Her eyes cinched, as her stare scans me from head to toe with disgust. "A maid isn't welcomed here." She tried to be noble with her words however she failed.I could feel she was mocking me for entering a VVIP area. But then her eyes lit up in surprise. "You're here to clean? Don't tell me you spilled coffee on someone else too?"My brows further heightened, quite amused honestly.Andrius'

Elena's pov;"Where were you young lady?"I cheekily smiled. "Outside.""From the past 3 and half hours?" Elias questioned.I shrug and fidget with my fingers from behind. If he knew about the incident, he'll surely be angry.Angry Elias is scary. "I came like you wanted me too, soooo, can't you forgive me?" I pout, as I gave him the best puppy eyes I could muster. He sighs and shakes his head. "I was worried, Elena.""Sorry." I muttered lowly, looking down.He was kinda right though. I took quite a time. But it wasn't my fault, I had bumped into someone so wealthy, who could have squished me with his bare hands and to put a cherry on top, I didn't have money. Even if I'd asked Elias, he would ask several questions and this would eventually lead me to tell him the truth which I didn't want.His hand flew to my head whilst giving me a sad smile. "Promise, you'll tell me beforehand if anything happens, okay?"I nod. "Ofcourse, Eli.""Great. Now let's get you some snacks? And then we'll
