To Hate My Stepbrother Chapter 17
Ava’s POV I woke up to see that I’d missed a lot of calls from Nicole. I groaned as I picked my phone up to call her back, knowing that she was going to give me an earful – one which I wasn’t prepared for just yet.“Hello.” I gorgily said into the phone while sleepily rubbing my eyes.“Are you just getting up?” Nicole demanded, sounding bubbly and bright. “I stayed at the party all night long and I’m up already but you’re the one who’s still asleep.” She teased and I groaned again.“I still want to go back to sleep.” I informed her, making her snort out another chuckle.“I just wanted to ask if you got home fine and if the jerk didn’t try to do anything to you?” She asked and just like the question, did something woke me up so fast, I sprung up at once.All the dizziness I was previously feeling had suddenly disappeared.Realizing that she didn’t even know that the said jerk in question is the reason why I had arrived home safely last night, I began to explain it all to her. I tol

Ava’s POV “Did you get to see Mason before he left for school?” Danny asked and I shook my head. I didn’t want to think about Mason, talk about him or anything related to him at all right now.I should never have even attempted to swallow my pride like I had did when I had asked him if he’d be dropping me off this morning, since it had been off no use.Selfish, stupid bastard.“He left early because he doesn’t want to drive me to school this morning.” I finally let out with a shrug and Danny took his gaze off the road for a moment to regard me for a moment.“Now why would you say that?” He asked, sounding genuinely curious and I huffed out a breath.“It’s because I just know it, he left early because he knew he would be obligated to drive me to school and I don’t even care if…. You know what? Never mind.” I tried to explain but stopped halfway when I realised he would never understand.“You know, I love how you both bicker here and there.” He said amidst quiet laughter and I rolled my

Ava’s POV We walked back to class with me being mad at Nicole for giving the waiter my number without my consent.“C’mon Ava, chill out already.” She cajoled as she followed behind me while we both made our way to the evening class, which was our last class for the day.I knew Nicole wasn’t one to concentrate in class and this evening wasn’t different. She was blowing bubble gums and texting Ryan, barely paying attention to the lecture that I had to occasionally tap her to bring her to reality.“Out of my class this minute.” The professor said after being unable to take it any longer, making me stare dejectedly as Nicole picked up her bag to leave the class, making me mood get sour in an instant.She sometimes does this on purpose so she can be sent out of the class, and because of that. I had personally pleaded with her multiple times to at least try and listen in class today, she was lagging behind on her grade but she still wouldn’t listen.“Hi.” The guy who took Nicole’s space

Ava’s POV I was about to get to my room and change out of my clothes when I realised I still had the chance to fight back, and so I came to a conclusion quickly. I was going to lie and say I had an assignment that required all of my time.“Mum,” I called out and she turned towards me almost immediately.“I have an assignment that’s due tomorrow and I really can’t go to do grocery shopping like I had thought.” I spoke while adding extra effort to hold my appearance together. “I want to, but I can’t.” I said and my mother wrapped her arms around her chest while her eyebrows were currently raised.She obviously knew I was lying and I honestly didn’t have the strength to keep up the fake act.My mum would always be able to catch In on all my lies.Would that ever end? Probably not.“Mason doesn’t mind, I love that and you can actually go with him, you know?” I continued as I approached her with the list she handed to me earlier.“Will you stop!” My mother said as she tried her best not to

Ava’s POV We soon arrived home and I hastily existed his car. The rude back home had been tense, with me glaring at him as he loudly blasted his stupid music.As we emptied the trunk of the car, I made sure to not get in his way because I didn’t want another argument to break out between us.But, of course, somethings are just really inevitable, and in this case, is me getting into an argument with Mason, because it didn’t take long for us to mistakenly get into each other’s ways.“Get the fuck out of my way, loser.” I snapped as I brushed past him.“Oh look, it’s the dumbass blaming me when she literally just walked right into me, probably thinking I’m a freaking wall.” He snapped back and I snorted.“You wish. I’d rather walk into a wall on purpose than do that to you.” I informed him.“And I’d rather keep you at a really far distance from me, because you trip over fucking air, only to blame me for it at the end of the day.” He continued and I sighed before brushing past him an

Ava’s POV The weekend flew by really quickly and I couldn’t be anymore grateful, while patiently waiting for the first day of the new week.The blaring sound of my bedside alarm jolted me out of my bed as I sprung up to get ready. I had four classes today and they were all important, which I’d rather not miss, and so I grudgingly got ready for schoolOnce I was done, it didn’t take long for Mason to start threatening to leave me behind should I waste his time.Angrily, I told him to fuck off that I’d just get a taxi, but my mother was there, so I couldn’t really stew for long before agreeing to ride with him.The ride to me school was anything but quiet. Mason didn’t play any loud music in the car this morning, but we both broke into more than three different arguments before we finally arrived at my school.I attended a smaller Uni, compared to the one Mason was attending, which was way further than mine. I’ve countlessly wondered why he don’t just chose to live on campus, or

Ava’s POV I continued glancing through the studying materials I had laid out, trying to draft out an outline for our lessons. I don’t offer the same elective courses he does but it didn’t mean I couldn’t move some things around in order help him out.“History, check. Psychology, check.” I started saying to myself as I cross checked my draft and timetable. I was engrossed in that until the doorbell suddenly rang, pulling me back to realty.The doorbell rang again and I immediately head towards it, knowing it was Xander. I was about to exit my bedroom before remembering that I had left the things I was supposed to work with back on the bed, which made me skip back to get them.In there, I realized that no noise was coming from Mason’s room still, and that made me pat myself vibing the back for a job well done as I exited my bedroom.I mentally stored the hack away in my head, which was to bang on his door and yell out those same words each time he have a girl over.My joy knew no bo

Ava’s POV “How easy is it for a grown up to act around like a fucking child and get on my nerves every damn time?” I hissed out as I walked with Xander into my room.I heard Mason call out something to me which I didn’t fully catch and I felt my blood boil. I would go back down there to show him the stuff I was made of without thinking twice but I had someone to tutor right now.“Fuck you, you fucking son of a bitch!” I yelled with every ounce of strength I had in me before slamming the door to my room in anger.“I had no idea you could cuss this loud.” Xander said amidst laughter and I released the breath I had no idea I was holding back. …and, this was exactly what I had been trying to avoid from the on set.“I’m sorry, I usually don’t do this on a normal day, but he always finds the wrong moment to get on my nerves and I’m done having the patience to deal with his attitude.” I said, apologising to Xander as I set my books down.“It happens, which shows that you guys are inde

Ava’s POVDanny’s burial soon came and everything was set and ready. The priest spoke before asking us to come make a speech.Walking up to the altar, I looked at everyone around and it felt like I had nothing to say about Danny except the fact that he was a good father to me.“When everyone was less supportive of me, Danny stayed with me, he could disbelieve a lot of things but he never stopped believing in me. He really is the best father in the world and I don’t think they make fathers like him because I think I took the last one.” I laughed and sniffled and the mood was lightened up a bit.“Danny had touched our lives one way or the other and I don’t think he would want us here crying, he was always so full of life and as crazy as it might sound, I think Danny would want us to be glad that he lived the best of his life.” I finished before walking off.Mason made a speech about his father too and watching him stand there just made my heart come crashing down.“We disagree on a lot

Ava’s POVThe blaring sound of my phone ringing jolted Mason and I out of our deep sleep and I groaned as I picked the phone up.Who could be calling me at this hour of the morning?Checking the phone, I almost jumped out of bed when I realized that the call was from my mother and I knew she wouldn’t call unless something is really wrong.“Hey mom,” I called into the phone while also tapping Mason who was already up, “What’s wrong?” I asked after a while of silence.“I… it’s Danny,” she sniffled and my eyes widened at once as I immediately prayed that it isn’t what I’m thinking about.“He had a heart attack and they just rushed him into surgery.” She broke down, I knew if she cried any harder she’d be perspiring.Turning to look at Mason who also looked really worried, I tried my hardest to console my mother while I asked Mason to get dressed so we could join them in the hospital.We could’ve waited till daybreak but it’s morning already and my mother needed all the support she could

Ava’s POVThe thought of Danny at the hospital was a down point for Mason and I and I was glad that I had my important people to help me with it while Mason works to also get his mind out of it.He had to leave Miami for San Francisco for the monthly business check-up to see how things were going on over there and I knew how much I’d miss him but work is work.“You know you actually have like 10 more minutes before your flight takes off and it’s just us here, the restroom might be vacant too.” I winked, I was at the brink of laughter but I didn’t want to break character.I know that we both needed comic relief and I was glad that Mason didn’t read the wrong meaning to what I’d just said and instead his eyes lit up but he soon burst into laughter as he pulled me into him.“If I had enough time you know I’ll take you right here and now.” He smiled before leaning closer to put his lips on mine.I adjusted his tie and watched as he made his way to the plane. The business check-up would la

Ava’s POVSOME MONTHS LATER.“Mason!” I yelled from the kitchen, I’d completely forgotten that it’s my due date today and my water just broke.The pain I felt from my back down to my uterus was unmatched and just at that point everything seemed irritating to me.I heard Mason’s footsteps coming down the stairs and the fact that he couldn’t have gotten to me faster annoyed everything out of me.“Oh my god!” He screamed in horror when he saw how wet the floor was, “Your water broke? What should I do?” He asked like he didn’t know that the next thing was to get to a hospital.I opened my mouth to speak but everything I wanted to say got caught up in my throat when the sharp pain came again and I clawed on Mason’s hand.Finding a way to release himself from my gasp, I watched as he ran out to get help from Nicole. I never thought the day where my best friend would be annöying would come.“Get your filthy hands off me!” I cried when Nicole touched me and I immediately regretted it because

Ava’s POVIt’s been a long day and the thought of the investor still annoyed me but I didn’t say anything to Mason because I knew that he isn’t going to take it easy.“Gosh, I feel seriously weak.” I groaned after running to throw up for the third time today as Mason helped me on my chair and I couldn’t do anything but place my head on the table to rest for a while.“We need to go to the hospital right now. Let’s go.” Mason ordered, making me laugh and I knew changing his mind would be hard but I tried and told him about how disappointed the investors would be if we failed at this.After a while of talking him into working for a while, Mason made sure that I didn’t stress myself or even leave his office while we both worked.The day soon ended and Mason and I drove to the hospital to run the test. I’ve been feeling lightheaded and nauseous lately and I just knew that I was pregnant but I also didn’t want to be too forward.The test results came out and it confirmed what I already knew

Ava’s POV“I don’t know, I didn’t get it last month too and I know that we haven’t spoken about having a child yet which is why I’m telling you about it now…”“Ava!” Mason’s growl made me swallow whatever it is I wanted to say next as I stared at him with fear written all over me.I was rushing my words like anyone was going to do something horrible to me if I didn’t tell him as fast as I could but it was only because I was really scared.What if he doesn’t want a baby yet? I know he loves me so much but what if he isn’t ready?I’d also planned to take a test but I also didn’t want to find out I’m pregnant alone, I want him to be there with me every step of the way and the fact that he hasn’t even said anything since he called my name was killing me.“It’s fine, we’ll go to the clinic after work today and we’ll find out if you’re pregnant or not,” he started with a smile on his lips as he took my hand in his.“You don’t have to be scared or rush your words while talking to me. I’m jus

Ava’s POVLast night was a memorable one in our new apartment and it was like with each day that passes, the love that I have for Mason just keeps growing and I loved it.Getting ready for work, Mason and I stopped at a diner close to the office to have breakfast before going in for work. The nervousness I usually felt whenever we approached the company when the drama of the news about Mason and I first got out was now nowhere to be found.We finished eating as soon as we could and Mason held my hand as we both got to work and I could swear that I’d already heard a million congratulations today already and the day was just starting.“Congratulations boss,” one of the directors stopped Mason and I as he bumped shoulders with him before bringing out an envelope, “This is for you.” He added, handing Mason the envelope and pecking me on my cheek as we went about our business.Lots of people even took the Liberty to come to our office to congratulate us and they brought gifts too. It took

Ava’s POVI hated the fact that I had to leave Maldives, we got a cab and soon boarded our plane to where our new house was located.It was a long flight but soon we got to the city and we had to board another cab home. It was going to be my first time in the house and I couldn’t wait to see what surprise was waiting for me.“Just tell me what the surprise is?” I asked as I held Mason, begging him to give me reasons why he wouldn’t let me come to the house until it was time to move finally.“If I tell you or show you the picture of the house then where will the surprise be?” He asked and I pouted, I hated to admit it but he was right, it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore if he showed it to me.The cab pulled over and I could swear that I’d almost passed out when I saw the house. It was not only bigger than where we were staying before, it was even more beautiful and I blinked multiple times so that I’ll be sure that this wasn’t a dream.“It’s so beautiful.” I gasped as I took steps close

Ava’s POVTurning on my bed, I groaned as I sniffed and I knew that I wasn’t dreaming, a delicious aroma filled the air and that was what jolted me out of my sleep and not because I’ve had enough sleep.Opening my eyes, I savoured the sweet smell and that was when the sight of where the sweet aroma was coming from came. There was food on my bedside table.Smiling, I opened the covered food on the table to see varieties of foods, there was steak, sandwiches with tea and even a bottle of wine, orange juice and water for me to choose from.Moving to the edge of the bed, I decided to start with the sandwich and even though I didn’t want to, I couldn’t help but compare this current marriage to my first one.Mason had always been nice to me and despite the amount of time we spent together he never got tired of me. I knew he’d never change because he loved me so much but somewhere deep down inside me I still kept the thought of something terrible happening even though I knew waiting for some
