To Hate My Stepbrother Chapter 41
Ava’s POV Tired and hungry, I made my way down the stairs to make breakfast for myself and I saw that Mason was down there already. The table was also set and breakfast was ready.I couldn’t help but do a double take.“Why did you make breakfast for two?” I asked, feeling dumbfounded. I still haven’t forgotten about what he said to me last night and I was still mad at that.“Aren’t we two in here?” He asked while rolling his eyes and wiping his hands in a small towel. He had on a fitted but loose looking black top on a baggy pair of sweats, and his hair was all fluffed up, giving him an extremely soft look.I shrugged as I walked past him, into the kitchen where I pulled out a pan to make scrambled eggs for myself.I’m not about to eat the food prepared by someone who’d blatantly said I wasn’t worthy to be called his friend. Why did he even make breakfast for two when he doesn’t care about me?Silently, I watched as he ate his food with a little bit of a side glance and pretending

Ava’s POV The drive home was silent and peaceful and for a moment I could see a hint of niceness and softness in Mason’s countenance, but I didn’t comment on it.We soon got home and since I wasn’t sleepy yet, I made my way to the couch and sank into it before turning towards Mason who was already on his way upstairs.“Hey,” I called out hesitantly and he turned around slowly with his eyebrow arched questioningly. My eyes trailed over him slowly and once again, I marvelled over how good looking he was in the suit and how his slicked back hair made him appear impossibly hotter than he usually is. “Do you maybe wanna see a movie with me?” I forced the words past my lips and for a moment I could see his eyes widen comically in nothing but shock.To be fair, I’m as shocked as he is, cause seeing a movie together wasn’t a thing we’ve ever done before.A few minutes passed and no response came forth, making me conclude that he’d definitely act like the asshole that he naturally is by

Ava’s POV The sound of Mason’s laughter wasn’t as annoying as it usually was, I lifted my gaze to look at him and I was absolutely dazed.His face glowed so beautifully, making him appear almost ethereal right now. I stared at him for what seemed like hours till his voice jolted me out of my thoughts.“C’mon, up you go.” He murmured, tilting his head before snorting out another laugh. I tried to stand after a few minutes, but my leg was really stuck.“I can’t, I’m stuck.” I pointed out and he rolled his eyes before holding his hand out. I bit on my lower lip and regard his outstretched hand withou reaching for it.“Are you gonna accept it or not? It’s not gonna bite.” He drawled out, making color fill up my cheeks as I glared up at him and jammed my hand in his larger one. He arched an eyebrow at me as he jerked me upwards so fast that I felt my head spin a little. I’d have collided into his chest if I hadn’t held my second hand out, and that supposed second hand is currently p

Ava’s POV Getting up as early as I could, I’d decided I was going to make a really delicious breakfast for the both of us and that way I’d be able to apologise to Mason.After spending hours trying to get the varieties of food ready, I had the table set and the smile that escaped my lips when Mason got down from the stairs was noticeable.“Good Morning,” I said with a smile that faded when he walked past me like he didn’t see me. I stood frozen for the first few seconds before finally shaking myself out of the daze I got caught in.“I made breakfast.” I announced but he pointedly ignored me, looking around the cupboards and picking out a pan, along with the required ingredients to prepare pancakes.I felt my cheeks burn and my blood boiled and I clenched my fist in anger and humiliation. I was fuming and I made sure that he noticed it.“What is wrong with you?” I finally brought myself to demand but he only raised an eyebrow and shrugged, “I decided to be nice enough to make break

Ava’s POV The sound of my bedside alarm jolted me out of my sleep. I found it hard to fall asleep last night at first, before eventually falling into a dreamless one. Getting ready for the day, I had my bath and put on comfortable clothing before walking down the stairs. The pleasant aroma that filled the air told me Mason had already prepared breakfast.On climbing down the stairs, I found him setting the table and with a small smile, eyes welcoming me to the dining table without actually talking.I hesitated for a moment before sinking into a seat.Eating our food in silence, I wanted to say something at different intervals but I was too embarrassed to say a thing, and so we ate without saying anything to each other.None of us spoke about the panic attack I had yesterday and I was really grateful that he refrained from speaking about it, nor did he try to taunt me with it or say anything stupid.“Are you okay?” Mason’s voice jerked me out of my thoughts and I turned to look at
To Hate My Stepbrother Chapter 46
Ava’s POV I spent the whole day thinking about Mason and was unable to stop myself from thinking about him. The day went by quicker than I expected it to and we both walked to our respective rooms.I woke up early and had thought I was going to be earlier than Mason but I got downstairs to see him up already, he was on call with our parents.“Oh, she’s here.” He announced with a smile in his voice and I walked to the laptop screen to see Danny and my mum.I had no idea what they’d talked about for them to be grinning from ear to ear but I joined in and the call went on for a while before they had to go.We both sat on the couch to watch a movie and for the first time, we didn’t argue on what to watch. Instead, we enjoyed watching what the other chose.After the movie, we got ourselves engaged in a conversation and I found myself talking more than I usually do when my phone rang, making me stop talking.I took a peak to see that it was Nicole and with a smile, I excused myself to a

Ava’s POV The night passed with Mason and I talking about things before we finally decided to go to our respective rooms.I had the best time with him and I also looked forward to spending more time with him.The day went by really quickly and we both decided to go out and get some snacks for ourselves in the afternoon.Grabbing a sweater, Mason and I walked to a small, traditional restaurant for burgers and fries. Everyone there was nice and we’re both used to the misconceptions of us dating.Laughing, Mason and I spoke and he told me a little bit about his childhood but I noticed he never mentioned his mother. I’d wanted to ask when I remembered what Danny told me.I already knew what happened with his mum and asking him more questions might only make him uncomfortable and that’s the last thing I wanted to happen to him.Things between us have been going on smoothly. Shutting my mouth, I decided to keep mute about his mother and concluded he was going to talk about it whenever
To Hate My Stepbrother Chapter 48
Ava’s POV I couldn’t ignore the melodious sound of the guitar playing and when I went to the balcony to check, there he was.Mason was the one playing the guitar and the way he held it was as though it was a really special guitar, his fingers trailing off the strings made my jaw drop in awe.Putting one foot in front of the other, I wanted to go near him but I knew how Mason could be. Going near him might just set him off and he’ll probably get mad at me for ruining his music.Turning, I tried to walk away when my dress got stuck on the door knob and I tripped, causing Mason to stop playing and making him turn to me.Why do clothes and door knobs usually pick out the wrong time to flirt with each other?I turned to look at Mason and I’d expected him to get mad at me and fume in rage about how I’d ruined his session but the glint in his eyes was one no one could ignore.He laughed at me instead and although I was embarrassed, hearing him laugh made me burst out in laughter.Tuggin

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
To Hate My Stepbrother Chapter 198
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
