All Chapters of My Stepbrother and His Friend: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

PIERRE POVThe horizon was ablaze with the fire of the setting sun, the slanting rays giving a warm tinge of red-orange to the sky, casting long shadows to the ground in its awakening. The air was pleasant to breathe, warm yet refreshing. The gentle breeze of summer brushed through the green leaves of the trees, making the eerie sound liven with the whooshing sound of the air.I stood on the solid ground, my eyes roaming all over the vast, picturesque estate spread before me. Long white pillars stretched from the ground, ascending into the sky to hold down and firmly, an opulently constructed three floors mansion, carefully carved, bent, and twisted by the experts to give an intimidating, yet lavish feeling surrounding the whole house. The walls were well painted in cream color with black accents here and there, and the stairs aligned with the little statuettes making me feel like I have stepped into an ancient Greek world. The lights from the inside seeped magnificently from the vast

POSEIDON POV“I am full.” I announced dropping my cutlery onto the table and tearing out of the dining room. As soon as I was out of sight, I leaned against the wall, aggressively clutching my chest to calm my savagely beating heart. My thoughts wandered about the place, trying to figure out how the hell it all came to this.It has been a year. A whole year with my mind in gutters, trying to decipher what had actually gone down that night. It has been a year since I have been questioning every single thing about my life, trying to find answers to millions of questions that kept me awake at night. A whole year of me convincing myself that I was normal, call me homophobic but I knew there was no way I could ever be… that way. I mean it couldn’t be true.With a heavy inner struggle, I climbed the stairs hurriedly, taking two at a time until I arrived on my floor and ran straight into my bedroom. After slamming the door and ensuring that it was locked, I plopped myself onto the bed and t

PIERRE POV“It’s an honor to have another Young Master join us here.” Young Master? OOOOOOKAYYYYY?“I will leave him in your care then.” Mom replied before giving a small nod to the school’s principal who seemed rather overly enticed by the idea of the ‘other young master’ joining Rhodez High. If I were to be brutally honest, the idea of being called the Young Master didn’t really phase me. I have ever only seen them in Asian movies and never thought that they are a real thing and that someone could be literally addressed as the Young Master. Or those overzealous titles. “Of course Mrs. Rhodez.” She gave out a huge sigh before turning towards me with the biggest grin. I found myself forcing a smile and giving her an awkward wave, then turned to look at the black Cadilac parked a good foot behind us, ready to leave that place.“Let’s not waste any more of your time.” Mom said, then started to turn around. I was in front of her in a heartbeat, running away from the buttering words tha

PIERRE POVThe rest of the weekend flashed by more quickly than I had anticipated. I was still amidst the dire confusion of change, trying to cope with the idea of suddenly being a rich kid living in a house bigger than The Louvre with maids at my disposal all day long. Everything was just so overwhelming and before I could wrap my mind around everything that was happening and cushion myself well, come to terms with that yes this was it, this was my life and I was going to be some trust fund baby, it was already Monday and we were all leaving for school. I don’t know what it was that made me so antsy, but I didn’t sleep a wink the previous night. Luckily, I had thoughts of Poseidon accompanying me for the rest of the night.I should say, he has played rather an important faction around me these past few days, despite the haze and bafflement that was overriding my system. Although the change was good, that didn't mean it was all easy. But at the end of the day, it was change, and no ma

POSEIDON POVThe sonic boom of an unruly throng of admirers... The loud cheers that come unbidden at any moment...I always took it them all up with a grain of salt. They have been a part of my life since the beginning of forever, and I was so used to them, to the point where I felt kind of partial and a little insane without all of them. From the get-go, it was only about being the son of the owner of Empire Academy. That granted me some lisence over a couple of things around here, such as an exclusive treatment, being boot-licked by both students and teachers.I met my friends very early, we were all from rich families and that kind of treatment was no foreign to us. Like a dream, we became the epitome of Empire Academy. Seeing all of that, we created our own little clique which became popular that the plastic of the Kar-Jenners. It didn't take long before the Z4 were trending around the school, and we carried all throughout our school years.Here we were, 8 years later and going
