Chapter 121 - Bad memories - 2

Eventually, Tess and Jack could not take it anymore and called Maddox. He came and coaxed me until I told him everything.In my memory, that was the first time I had cried so miserably.I did not want to be a nasty person. But I also hated doing whatever I was doing/not-doing to be a good person.Bro, Tess, Jack, and Tessa’s grandmother would talk to me and convince me that I was not a terrible person.It took a couple of months. Finally, their words sank in, and I stopped acting out.But then something had changed in those few months.My parents were convinced the way I had acted out in those few months under Tina’s manipulations was the real me.For example - they thought I was an untidy person. I stopped being deliberately disorganized or messy. But they said I was trying to be like Tina.I was always an outstanding student. Apart from 1 exam in the middle of that school year when I deliberately did not answer half the questions so that Tina’s results could be better than mine, I h

Chapter 122 - Insecure and Afraid

William held Rosaline quietly as she spoke about her issues. He did not know how to console her or make her feel better.Rosaline noticed his somber expression as he lay by her side quietly without uttering anything. That made her chuckle.“Quit the long face, will you?”William pursed his lips and gave her a wronged expression.“When I talk about just that, it sounds like I had a terrible childhood. I did not. By all means, I have always had a good life. I have never lacked anything and always received the best of everything. My parents made sure of that.”“Brother had always indulged me, no matter what it was.”“I have always had friends by my side - Tess, Jack, and even Tristen. After I moved to the hostel, I met Tris and Amy. I have never been lonely.”“Even Grammy loved me just as much as Tess. Your Uncle and Aunt have always been nice to me.”“It’s just that Tina would ruin my special moments. Be it festivities or birthdays or graduation or anything. After I moved out and eventu

Chapter 123 - Familiar woes

William only sighed at that.Rosaline asked. “Why are you sighing like an old man?”“I am afraid you will dump me for someone with a warm and welcoming family.”“Like Tristan?”“Can you not salt my wounds?”“I can assure you I’ll never get together with Tristen. Though, I have to invite him to dinner and pass him his gift. Let’s do that tonight if he is free.”“Why don’t you ask me if I am free?”“Are you not?”“I want to spend the night spooning my girlfriend.”“You might have to get yourself another girlfriend to do that.”“Heartless woman!”“Women have to be heartless. Otherwise, we’d get taken advantage of.”“Sucks to be me, then!”“What’s the issue between you and your mother?”__She is a bit like your parents. She treats everything Supriya says as gospel. I probably should not say this about my mother, but she is prone to flattery and is easily convinced as long as you act pitifully and project your ideas as her intelligent deductions.She becomes very stubborn when she puts he

Chapter 124 - Negotiate

William came with his phone to find Rosaline even more snugly wrapped in the comforter.“Little hamster, are you going to stay buried there?”“Why do you always refer to me as some or the other animal? And yes, I would like to stay buried here.”“That’s because you are adorable. Do I get to sneak inside as well?”“No. I have warmed it up nicely. You are not allowed to disturb me.”“It will warm up faster with two people in it.”“You are just trying to get inside my blanket.”“No, I am trying to sneak inside your clothes, and I can only do that if I am inside your blanket.”William shamelessly replied as he squeezed inside and spooned her close.They sat wrapped in the comforter leaning on the headboard as Rosaline glared at him.William thought she looked like an angry hamster. He tried to caress her to soothe her anger and realized her clothes felt different. He trailed his hands on the hem of her dress, and his eyes lit up.All his soothing words died out as he exclaimed, “You wore

Chapter 125 - Change your mother

William and Rosaline had dinner with Tristen in the night, who had a million questions for them.William was left alone as they threw insults at each other and bickered the entire time.William was amused by their dynamic.They trusted each other. Both had each other’s back when cornered by others.But, they would incessantly bicker when left by themselves.Rosaline had used the term - quarrelsome cousins. It seemed rather appropriate.He was even more amused with how she passed him his 18th birthday gift. “Found by the dumpster, it still works intermittently. Happy belated 18th and 17th and 19th and 20th and 21st birthday, my dear Tristen.”She had torn the wrapping and brought just the fitness band. She seemed to have deliberately stuck biscuit crumbs to it.William had nearly choked on his wine, but Tristen seemed unaffected. William realized why when Tristen pulled out a bracelet - it was one of the items he had seen when picking jewelry with Ria. So, William knew it was a hallm

It’s so good knowing Ria’s addition to the family won’t affect any of your dynamics. Make sure whoever you choose will be able to mingle just as well with the family.”Tina only snorted at that and looked away, ignoring her.
