All Chapters of My Stepson Is a Bully: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

KATIE’S POVI stayed agitated for three days, wondering what would happen next. It seemed like everything was at a standstill, and I wouldn't say I liked the suspense much.Zuhra didn't take back her declaration like I asked her to. Well, even if she did, she still would not be able to practice with the team. Sure, she was healing, but it was a slow process of easing her back into the dance routine. She had her instructor give her workouts and practice moves. I knew because whenever I came to visit in the evenings, she told me what happened when I was away.She also told me she was bored with staying home alone. I wouldn't have minded staying with her all day, but that would have been too much to ask of Vivian. She was kind enough already.Blaze didn't call again. I did receive some money from him, but when I called to thank him, he didn't pick up. I tried not to overthink why he didn't, but my mind kept telling me he was mad at me for some reason.That didn't make sense, though. If

Katie's pov"I'm so glad you decided to get back to dancing," I said, beaming as I arranged the tables. It was really early in the morning, and Zuhra had come over to say hi. After which, she went off to the studio. If not for anything, I'm glad that the talk she had with Brooklyn made her rethink her decision. "Whatever did she say to get you back to the studio?" I asked.Zuhra swirled the clear liquid in her cup with her straw. "Won't you like to know? Instead, I get a text saying you went off somewhere. With Blaze, Tess. Of all people."I would have thought she was jealous again, but her tone was so light and cheery. I paused what I was doing to look at her closely."What? Do I have a bug in my hair or something?" She leaned away from my scrutiny. "Brooklyn must have worked some magic on you to get you back to this state."That was the only logical explanation for the sudden free energy around my friend. She was way more comfortable to stay around now."Oh please, that's nothing

Katie's povI smiled at Olivia as she cradled my baby in her arms. The look of adoration on her face was ethereal. I wished the child would stay awake, but she seemed to love sleeping too much.At least the doctor said that was normal; she was born only yesterday, after all—no cause for worry."Gosh, Tessa, she's so cute," Olivia gushed, moving closer to Jonah, who peeked at her. He smiled, too.I laughed. "Looks like that little girl already had a lot of adoring grownups to spoil her with treats. Had them charmed just at a glance.""Will you be coming back to work soon?" Keisha asked.I was trying to be civil to her, but I still couldn't get over the fact that even after my warning, she gave out my number to Brooklyn.But she wasn't here to make trouble; she just happened to be among the people Vivian sent to visit me so I would be kind."In a few weeks, I think," I said, shrugging."You mean a few months, right?" Olivia corrected. "No way you're going to be working so soon.""You ca

Author's pov No, Katie gasped as Blaze fell to the ground. All that came out, though, was a frantic intake of breath, as she could not speak through the gag she hated so much. After all she had tried to tell Blaze, this stupid piece of cloth prevented her from saying anything.She wished she could rip it off, but her hands were bound, too. They had been since the first day. She glared at the man who knocked Blaze out, wishing she could wipe that smug grin off his face.He turned to her. "Don't look at me that way; he was foolish to come alone."He crouched to her level. "And if he did alert the police, then I'm afraid we'll have to kill you immediately. Either way, our mission will be accomplished."If looks could kill, he would be burned to smithereens by now. First, he wouldn't tell her anything about her child, and now he was threatening to kill her. After keeping her here for days, he did not even have a clue what to do to get him to free her."Just tell me what you want. Why do

Chapter 133Author's pov Blaze raised an eyebrow. "I'm surprised." The answer was clear: if their places were switched, he would eliminate Axel before he could ruin the big plan."Surprised?" Axel asked. "You didn't think I'd be able to kill you if necessary?""No, I'm surprised we might think the same way," Blaze clarified. He saw the twitch in Axel's jaw, showing that he was irritated by that statement, which made him smile."Not the same way, brother. I'm way ahead of you.""Correct me if I'm wrong, but are both of you arguing about who thinks better right now?" Katie asked, turning to Blaze.Blaze nodded. "I'm trying to make sure there isn't a bigger brain behind this plot of his. Hard to believe it's just you, Axel."And not only that, he was stalling for time. Anything to keep Axel from rounding off his plan soon because if that happened, he would kill both of them so quickly.He wasn't afraid for himself, but Katie concerned him. She was already broken, and having no hope of s
