To Hate My Stepbrother Chapter 75
Ava’s POVThe day for the trip came and I couldn’t be happier that I would finally get to spend some alone time with Mason.That was until my mum made us take my cousin along, I was angry but there was no way I could let her know that or she would suspect something.Me, Mason, Ryan, Nicole and my cousin all decided to meet at my house and set things up there before embarking on the trip.Everyone was ready and we had to take three cars, Nicole and Ryan. I was jealous of them because I had to ride with Mason and my cousin and that left us no chance to do anything.Mason’s friends drove another car too. I texted Nicole all through the drive as I whined about how I hated the whole set up.She consoled me and reminded me of how she’d asked us to sneak around and how much fun I’ll have on the beach.Giving up, I closed my eyes as Mason drove and it didn’t take long for us to get to the beach. It was there that I realized that Mason had already rented a beach house for the next two days.“O

Ava’s POVI couldn’t stop myself from thinking about the fun Mason and I had last night and I really couldn’t wait to confess my feelings to him.Smiling, I kept fiddling with my phone until I heard it ring and that put a halt to my thoughts. Looking around the room like anyone was going to beat me up if I answered.My heart skipped a beat when I saw Mason’s name boldly written on the screen, lots of thoughts crossed my mind and I was too scared to answer the call that I had to let it ring.“Aren’t you going to answer that?” Nicole asked and I had no idea what to answer her with.It soon started ringing again and I couldn’t just let it keep ringing without answering it. Bracing myself up and summoning every ounce of courage I had left in me.“You have it all planned out, you can do this, Ava.” I said to myself, my heart still racing that it felt as though it was going to fly out of my chest.Can I really do this?“Hey.” I coughed into the phone and I could hear slight giggles from the

Ava’s POVBroken hearted, I was supposed to go home with Mason but I couldn’t, especially after what my cousin had said to me the other day.I finally decided that I would go with Nicole and she was more than happy to have me in her house that night. She made hot chocolate for me and sat beside me to calm me down.“I’m such a fool,” I sniffed as I placed my head on her shoulder, “why on earth did I think that this would work out?” I asked rhetorically before going back to crying again.“I should’ve just ended it, I knew things like this wouldn't work out but I was such a fool for believing that there might actually be a chance for us and now I’m hurt.” I finished.Snorting and taking a sip of my hot chocolate, I tried to calm myself down but nothing worked and Nicole only stroked my hair lightly.“I’m sorry you had to go through this,” she started, “but you know, you can wait until your cousin is gone and you’ll be able to thrash it out with Mason.” She suggested.She’s actually right

Ava’s POVLeaving everything behind us, Mason and I decided we’re going to forget about everything and just enjoy the moment we have together.The past months I spent with Mason was Heaven and I really wished that all of these wouldn’t stop and would just last a lifetime.We went on multiple dates and he would help me whenever there were thunderstorms, talk me through it and let me know that he’ll always be here with me and whenever I need him.“Shh,” he silenced me when I was having one of my usual panic attacks and just at the moment he held me I felt safe, safer than I always am with him.“I’m here, you’re safe.” He whispered before kissing me and I closed my eyes as I relaxed in his embrace. His holds were always warm and he never failed to give me the warmth I always needed.We made a lot of memories and even made out but ever since the first time we had sex, we haven’t tried it again since we both agreed to keep it going slow.“We shouldn’t rush things,” he advised as he took my

Ava’s POVAll of Mason's efforts to talk to me proved futile, I was still in shock and I didn’t want to see or even get intimate with him. I just wanted him to leave me alone and I was glad when we finally left the restaurant.I couldn’t let our parents know that something was wrong with me and so I hid it behind a fake smile. We got home and started drinking, my mum let me drink since it was a special occasion.I was glad that I could finally take a shot of tequila, the burn in my throat was nothing compared to what I was feeling in my heart and I just wanted it all to go away.Our parents went through our photo album and giggled about how cute we looked and when they finished going through it, they started talking but I wasn’t paying attention.I just couldn’t stop drinking and I also couldn’t help but think if all those months we spent together was just nothing to him.Am I really special to him or just like every other girl he only just used me for his own pleasure and would final

Mason leaving left a huge hole in my heart that I really was expecting. I’ve grown close to him, I got too attached and now with him being gone I had no idea how I’d live.My heart wasn’t the only thing empty for me, the house was too. There was no one besides my mum and Danny to get home to. I miss him, his eyes that glint even in the dark, his smile that’s always bright enough to lighten up the room.It was hard having to live my life practically alone, I still had our parents but they also had their own lives to live. They’d go on dates and come back late at night.The sound of my mum giggling downstairs jolted me out of my sleep and I groaned as I got ready for the day before going downstairs to meet them.My mum and Danny were both staring at the laptop screen and it didn’t take long for me to know that they were talking to Mason.“Hey, you’re awake,” my mum started when she noticed me in the sitting room and I groaned silently as I closed my eyes in frustration.“She’s awake, I’

Ava’s POVTHREE YEARS LATER.California, Los Angeles.“Did you remember to eat and take your meds, you do remember that you have to right?” My mum’s voice from over the phone made me roll my eyes.“Oh c’mon. I hope you also remember that I’m not a baby, I’m twenty two years old for crying out loud.” I answered and I could hear her try to suppress her laughter.“To me, you’ll always be a baby and I don’t care if you're a hundred years old, so please for my sake, try to eat something.” She advised me and I rolled my eyes again.“Nagging will get you nowhere so this is my own two cents. Stop calling me to nag at me like you’re an old woman and just focus on your husband, okay?” I retorted.Before she could say anything else, I hung up. If I’d left her on the phone, I knew we could go on and on and that would only delay what I was here to do.Thinking for a while and scanning the supermarket, I went to the stand where I was going to get my groceries and I soon started shopping.It was a l

Mason’s POVShe’s relaxed now and better than she was when we were at the supermarket. I couldn’t believe how much time has passed and how she’s changed.Ordering us cups of coffee, I told the barista just how she’d like it and after taking our order he left and Ava started crying again.Why is she crying? I made sure to be extra careful, did I do anything wrong?“I.. I’m sorry, did I do something?” I asked, I was confused and worried and I didn’t mean to stutter but her presence usually does something to me and it’s unexplainable.“It’s all your fault,” she started and I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at her, oblivious to what she’s talking about, “it’s all your fault that all this is happening right now.” She sniffed, her voice breaking.“It’s all your damn fault!” She finished with a slight yell that took me aback for a while.“What do you mean? What’s my fault?” I asked, my eyes boring into hers and searching it for answers that seemed to be lost.What’s happening with her and

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.

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.

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
