All Chapters of HELLO, STEPBROTHER: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Dante's POV I was full of so many emotions, my mind was still not over dad's attack and the argument I had with Olivia. But I pushed those thoughts aside, focusing on the task at hand. I had to win the postseason tournament this week Coach blew his whistle, and practice began. He drilled me harder than usual, pushing me to my limits, probably because I had relaxed and added a few tons having been away for a week. A week was all it took.  I appreciated it, knowing that we had a reputation to uphold. Wexford had won the title four times in a row, and with me as the lead pitcher, I couldn't flop. "Dante, you need to step up your game!" Coach yelled as I threw a wild pitch. "You're not looking sharp!" I gritted my

DANTE'S POV I was with my team in the back room, listening to our coach give us last-minute instructions, when I saw it. The kiss cam landed on a familiar fiery red hair, and my heart sank. My Olivia. Or at least, she used to be mine. I felt my jaw tick and my hand tighten around my bat, like I was going to snap it in two. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Olivia, the girl I had been in love with for what felt like an eternity, was kissing Mark. The same Mark who had been trying to get her attention for months. "Hey, Dante, where's your mind at?" my coach asked, snapping me back to reality. I apologized, trying to shake off the feeling of betrayal that was washing over me. I joined in the team's winning shout, t

DANTE'S POV “Have you wished her a happy birthday yet?”Rhonda asked me. “Not really. I was hoping to take her out for a nice meal and all that.” I said as I tried to find the number I had called earlier to book the reservation.  I hadn't spoken to her as much as I could, but one thing I was sure of was that Mark was out of town, so he wouldn't be able to meet up for Olivia's birthday. So I had her all to myself for one day. “Aw…that's really sweet of you.” “I gotta go. I want to reach out to her.” 

OLIVIA'S POV I don't know why I came back.I felt really sorry for the way things were between me and Dante and I really wanted to fix things. I had already messed things up real bad and I knew that nothing I could say could fix it, but it was worth trying. Wasn't it? I was just across the street, when I saw Dante's car arrive and Keisha and him got down. My steps halted in their stride. He leaned on his car, looking cool and dapper and Keisha stepped into the vee of his legs, seductively batting her lashes. I gasped.  I knew what I would expect but I still stood there and watched, like a creeper. They didn't even wait to get into the dorm.  Damn!

Dante's POV  I groaned in frustration as our car sputtered to a stop on the side of the road. "Shit!” Olivia looked at me with concern. "What's wrong?" “I have no idea. Let me go take a look.”I stepped down and went to open the hood. "I think the engine's dead," I replied, getting out of the car to take a look. “And the weather's going to be bad today.” Olivia said. Her words, doing nothing to reassure me. We were in the middle of nowhere, with no cell phone signal to call for help. I left the hood open and took anoth
