"Hello dad," I chirped immediately after I picked up my dad's call.

"Hey Princess, how have you been?" Dad's deep voice sounded through the phone.

I was in the kitchen about to make dinner for myself, I placed my phone between my ear and shoulder blade, so, I could able to break the egg into the pink bowl on the counter.

"I'm fine Dad, what about you?" I questioned putting the egg shell into each other and placing them on the counter.

"Good, are you busy?" He asked as I walked to the cupboard, now holding my phone in my right hand.

"Uhm! Not really, just preparing what I'm going to eat tonight," I told him.

"That's good,"

"We can still talk, it's not disturbing our conversation," I said, opening the cupboard to take a spoon to mix the egg.

"Okay, I have some news for you," My dad informed me and I turned around backed to the counter, and placed my left arm on my stomach.

"Yes?" I said eagerly, hoping it was a piece of good news.

    HAILEY'S POV "So...what's up?" Ryan asked, glancing around the room. "What do you want to say?" I tilted my head in confusion and asked. "You know what I mean," he said with a hint of annoyance. "Jeez, just say it already." I took a large bite as I waited for what he was about to say. "Do you think your mom still loves your dad?" Ryan asked, I swallowed hard and cast a longing glance at him. "I don't want to talk about it," The dreadful silence settled in and the only thing that was audible in the whole room was the constant clattering of my cutleries on the plate. After a few minutes of awkward silence, Ryan inhaled sharply. "Hey Hailey," Ryan said and I slowly looked at him, while chewing calmly. "Yeah?" I replied almost immediately. "How are you holding up about what your boyfriend did?" I wondered why he was asking me. "Uhm..." I tried to form words but nothing was coming to mind. "Breakups can be pretty rough," Ryan added. I got up from where I sat to eat my food and I

    RYAN’S POVI watched my step-sister use her delicate fingers to hold on to the plate, I smirked mischievously as my eyes trailed down to meet her thighs that showed greatly. She wore shorts and she looked damn sexy, I couldn’t help myself, she was so enticing.I tapped my fingers impatiently as I watched her, the idea of tempting and seducing her etched into my mind.The way her chest moved up and down when she breathed, I wanted her so badly, I wanted to respect her wishes of taking things slow, but I was out of control.“Fuck, you’re so damn hot” She turned to look at me as if questioning what I said but I doubt she heard me cause I said it in a whisper.As she helped me fry the eggs, I used the opportunity to move closer to Hailey, her back touching my torso as I stretched my arms. Her hiked-up breath gave me all the answers I needed.Hailey’s mom walked upstairs and just when I thought we could have our own time, a sound came from outside and we checked it out, turns out it was j

    Hailey's POV: I sat down on my bed, I had prepared for school but was lost in thought. I was finding it hard to believe that I and Ryan had sex again. Again! How did I allow that to happen? What was I thinking? Why did he come back for sex? Did I do the right thing? What charm did get used on me that I found it hard to resist him? What is wrong with me?! I couldn't find answers to my questions, and I became confused about what to do, I wouldn't say I regretted the sex, it was good and addictive, yeah, I knew there was no how I could escape from Ryan and resist him. He was tempting and he knew he was, that was what he was using against me and my body was stupidly dancing to his tone. A knock on the door jolted me from reverie. I got up from my bed and put some finishing touches on my hair edges, I coiled it up and allowed it to fall. I carried my school bag and walks over to the door, I raised my hand to the door and twisted the knob open after a sigh. Opening

    Ryan's POV.I went to class after Hailey ditched me in the parking lot and met up with Micah. "Yo man." He shook my hand before pulling me into a side hug. "How are you today?""I'm good." I patted his shoulder and settled down in my seat. "Where are the rest?" I questioned him."I haven't seen them anywhere around.""Okay." I fingered my brows as my mind went to Hailey. Is she in class already? What's she doing now? I wondered. When I remembered my moment with her last light, I chuckled. Sex with her was the best and I can't help craving for more of her. Fuck stepsister!"Yo, man." Micah distracted me and I turned to him, "There will be a match later, it's a friendly match and you have to play."I chuckled and patted his back, "No one is saying that I'm not playing. So, chillax!""Now, I have the assurance that we will win the match." He got up from his seat, "Come on, let's go get prepared.""We're ditching class." I pointed out."Fuck class!" He growled out.I laughed and followed

    Hailey's POV.It was a weekend and I woke up on Ryan's bed to see him smiling down at me which was dubious to me. "Good morning." He greeted still with that smile tugging at a smile of his lips, almost forming a smirk."There is nothing good about this morning, Ryan. My first wish right now is to be able to turn back the hand of time and stop you from playing that match. All these wouldn't have happened, I would have been in the comfort of my bed right now and would have had a nice sleep." I spat out.He didn't seem to be moved by anything I said, he must have been thinking that I was joking, which I wasn't. I was dead serious. "Well, I don't know what you're talking about but I'm having a good time here if you ask me.""I know you are." I got out of the bed and began to leave for the door. "I will help the maids in the kitchen. Try to sleep again, while the food is ready, I will help you to the bathroom after you eat or will you take your bath now?"He nodded, "Let me bathe now." He

    Hailey's POV.I was in school with Shirley, but the teacher was not in class, I don't think she would make it to class that day. I think I can sleep peacefully now. I thought and laid my head on my desk to sleep.That had always been my daily routine since Ryan had been discharged from the hospital, I had never had a good sleep, it's either he told me that I should help him to the bathroom in the middle of the night or he said he wanted me to sleep on his bed with him and sleeping on the bed with him had never ended well. He just turned it into something steamy and that is it, we would make out throughout the night.I shouldn't have believed Mom when she said that they would be staying for more days, because they left again the second day even before Ryan got discharged and I haven't rested since then.I shook the thoughts off my head and concentrated on sleeping, but the witch beside me kept on singing her witchy song and there went the sleep. "I'm trying to sleep here, Shirley! Can'

    Hailey's pov.Just have I thought, Ryan and I had been doing good with each other. After he got his bandage removed the other day, he had been hustling things by himself and now, I could sleep without having any thought of being called to in the middle of the night, we were doing so good and I have never been so better.It was a weekend and Ryan said he would like to take a stroll around the neighborhood and I was given the honor to tag along with him, which was okay by me.I got out of the bathroom, just to meet Ryan in my room. One thing I forgot to mention was his sneaky attitude, he had been sneaky lately, always sneaking up on me like I was having some cockroach in my cupboard, sometimes it was annoying but most times, it was cute."Hey, good morning." He greeted me."What are you doing here?" I questioned him, though I knew what his answer would be."Aren't you tired of asking that same question over and all over again?" I rolled my eyes, it was just exactly as I thought. He cou

    Hailey's POV.I smiled at him immediately after the kiss, "So, are we going to college together?" He questioned me again for assurance and I nodded. "Oh my God! Hailey, you're indirectly accepting me!" He spoke in a low yell, I knew that he was trying not to get attention from the crowd."Let's just focus on this, that can wait." He laughed and immediately took hold of my hand, he began to pull me out of the crowd and that got their attention."Wait!" The man that stopped the crowd from going rowdy the other time, beckoned. "Come here." He beckoned for us to come to him.I wanted to go back Ryan wouldn't let me go, he whispered to me, "Run!" Before I could assimilate what he meant, he was already running away with me."Ryan wait!" I shouted at him."No, can't do!" I turned to the man, he was just smiling as he stood there and he later sat back down in other to enjoy the show.Ryan continued running with me and I was getting tired, "I'm tired, Ryan. Stop!"He stopped immediately and wh

    Hailey's POV.I sat nervously in front of my vanity mirror, my heart pounding with excitement and anticipation. It was my graduation day, marking the end of years of hard work and dedication. I glanced at the clock on the wall, counting down the minutes until the ceremony would begin.I was in my room at Ryan's house, and my makeup artist, Sarah, meticulously applied the final touches to my makeup, highlighting my natural beauty. I watched Sarah work with a mix of nerves and awe. "You're amazing at this, Sarah," I said, admiring my reflection."Thank you, Hailey! You're already stunning, so it makes my job easier," Sarah replied with a smile, adjusting my hair to fall in loose waves around my shoulders.My mind raced with thoughts of the day ahead. I couldn't wait to see my parents in the audience, proud smiles on their faces. Despite the recent misunderstandings in my family, I hoped today would be a day of celebration and unity.As Sarah finished the final touches, I stood up from m

    Hailey's POV.I wanted to leave but I turned back to Mom again, I couldn't shake off the lingering questions in my mind. I went to her room and sat down, sat down with my Mom, and the words I had been holding back spilled out."Mom, what if Dad wanted you back?" I asked quietly, my gaze searching my Mom's eyes for any sign of hope or regret.Mom's expression turned somber as she considered the question. "Hailey, your dad has every right to move on and find happiness. I've caused him so much pain and heartache. I don't deserve his love anymore."My heart ached at my mom's words. "But Mom, don't you want to try to make things right? To be a family again?"Mom sighed, her shoulders slumping with the weight of regret. "I wish things were different, Hailey. I wish I hadn't made the choices I did. But I can't change the past, and I can't expect your dad to forgive me for betraying him and you."Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the depth of my mom's remorse. "Mom, you're not unworthy

    Hailey's POV.The air was heavy with anticipation and tension in Ryan's house. It had been a week since the dramatic confrontation that led to Uncle Elijah considering reconciling with his estranged wife. I couldn't shake off the somber atmosphere that seemed to linger in every room.One evening, as I sat by the window in Ryan's room, staring at the moonlit sky, Ryan entered with a troubled expression. He sat down beside me, and without a word, I knew something was bothering him."What's wrong, Ryan?" I asked softly, turning to look at him.Ryan sighed heavily. "I can't stop thinking about everything that's happened. Dad is still unsure about Mom coming back. It's like we're walking on eggshells around here."I nodded, understanding his concern. "I've been feeling the same way. But you know what's been on my mind more? My Mom. She's been so quiet and withdrawn since that night."Ryan frowned, his brows knitting together in concern. "Do you think she regrets leaving your Dad?"My gaze

    Ryan's POV.When Dad returned to the sitting room, we stopped talking about Hailey and I love, we focused on Dad again, but at least, I was relieved. There was no secret in Hailey and I loved life again, we were free.I stood in the middle of the living room, my heart heavy with the tension that crackled between Hailey and my parents. They sat across from each other, their expressions a stark contrast.My Mom looked at Dad with a mixture of regret and apology in her eyes. She knew she had hurt him deeply, and her gaze reflected her remorse. On the other hand, Dad's eyes were filled with annoyance and a hint of bitterness. He couldn't shake off the pain of the past, the wounds that had never fully healed.The room felt suffocating, the silence broken only by the ticking of the clock on the wall. I shifted uncomfortably, wishing I could disappear or at least bridge the chasm that had grown between my parents. I never knew forgiveness would be that difficult."Mom, Dad," I finally spoke,

    Hailey's POV.I watched as Uncle Elijah's jaw tightened slightly, but he remained silent, waiting to hear me out."I understand that things have been difficult, and mistakes have been made," I continued, my voice gaining strength. "But holding onto anger and resentment will only hurt us in the long run. We need to find a way to move forward together."Aunty Rebecca scoffed. "Move forward? After everything that has happened?"I nodded. "Yes, even after everything. Because deep down, I know that we all care about each other. Uncle Elijah," she turned to him, "I know you still love your wife, despite everything, she birth to your son after all. And Aunty Rebecca," I faced her next, "I know you regret some of the decisions you've made."Uncle Elijah sighed heavily, his gaze shifting to Aunty Rebecca. "It's not that simple, Hailey," he murmured, his voice filled with pain."But it can be," I insisted, my eyes brimming with conviction. "If we're willing to open our hearts to forgiveness and

    Hailey's Pov.The drive back home was nothing like when we were going to the restaurant, it was lively with Ryan's Mom, who was making some hilarious jokes just for the family to laugh, and at some points, I cracked up a laugh.I was beginning to feel that maybe Ryan's Mom wasn't that bad, maybe she just wanted peace and love among us all, but everything changed when we got home and met Mom. Aunty Rebecca changed from the sweet she was a second ago and changed to something I didn't know. I had to double-check her if she was the same person or if someone else was supposed to be her.Aunty Rebecca's voice cut through the sitting room immediately we entered and met Mom sitting there, her words laced with contempt as she directed her insults at my Mom once again. "I don't know why you're even here, trying to pretend like you belong. You're nothing but a husband snatcher, a gold digger!" She was harsh with her words. I palmed my face in frustration, oh no! Not again!My mom bristled at the

    Hailey's POV.I sat on the stairs of the school, my backpack slung over one shoulder, my eyes scanning the parking lot for any sign of Ryan's car. He had promised to pick me up after my final exam, but as the minutes ticked by, it became clear that he wouldn't make it. I sighed, feeling a mix of disappointment and understanding. Ryan often got caught up in his family's business recently, especially when his Dad needed him.Just as I was about to call Shirley for a ride, a voice interrupted my thoughts. "Hey, Hailey! Need a lift?" Micah grinned, leaning against his car with a casual charm.I smiled gratefully. "Yes, please. Thanks, Micah."When he was driving us towards my house, Micah turned on the radio, filling the car with upbeat music. "So, how was your exam?" he asked, glancing at me.I shrugged. "It was okay, I guess. Just glad it's over."Micah nodded, understanding the relief of finishing exams. "Any plans for the summer?"My mind wandered to the beach trips and lazy days I ha

    Hailey's POV.My eyes fluttered open as the soft morning light filtered through my curtains, casting a warm glow across my room. It was Monday, the beginning of my final exams, and a mix of excitement and nervousness filled my thoughts. I stretched lazily in bed, feeling the weight of the upcoming challenges ahead. I had no exam that day, til the morrow I was going to the library with Shirley to read.As I sat up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes, memories from the previous weeks flooded my mind. The incident in the chemistry lab still lingered, the sting of Brielle's insincere apology and the scar in my hand serving as constant reminders. But today, I vowed to focus on my exams and push aside any distractions. I must graduate in a few months.I swung my legs out of bed and padded over to my desk. The stack of textbooks and notes seemed to mock me, reminding me that every hard word would begin to reflect today.As I flipped open my biology textbook, my phone buzzed with a message from

    Ryan's POV.Mom came again as usual to cause trouble, but I couldn't let her in, Hailey was still healing from the turmoil that her last visit caused and I couldn't help but stop her from entering, I was sick of always letting her in only to cause Harley more pain."Ryan, what are you doing?" She asked me unbelievably."I'm stopping you from entering, Mom. You will only go in there are cause more pain to people who don't deserve it. You have been doing that for days now and I have been foolishly letting you in over and all over again, but not today. You should leave immediately." I wanted to close the door but she stopped me."Are you chasing your mother away from her house Ryan? What had that woman turned you to? I didn't bring you up to be disrespectful to me, I don't know that my child would be cruel to me." She was using a guilt trick on me, and I knew it. I still spoke with her though."Mom. If you were Hailey's Mom, I'm sure you would have killed yourself by now, if you see the
