All Chapters of HELLO, STEPBROTHER: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Dante's POV  As we waited for the surgery to begin, I couldn't help but wonder what the outcome of the surgery will be. Of course, I was optimistic, I didn't want my dad to die. But the doctor made everything seem like things were really bad. Dad was being moved to another section of the hospital, and we were all gathered in the waiting room, waiting for the results. Rhonda was pacing back and forth, her eyes fixed on the door. Olivia was sitting next to me, her hand in mine. I could feel her fear and worry, and I knew that she was trying to be strong for me. The doctor had told us to relax, but there was no way we were doing that. Landon, Olivia's dad, came in then. I guess Olivia had called him. He walked up

Rhonda's pov I hired a nurse much to Alex's reluctance because I wasn't willing to take any chances with his health anymore. I walked into the sitting room, expecting to find Alex sitting in his favorite armchair. He had been asked to move from his bed once in a while, but instead, I was surprised to see Dante and Olivia sitting on the couch, looking at me with concerned expressions. "Hey, Rhonda," Dante said, standing up to give me a hug. "How are you doing?" I felt a pang of guilt as I realized I hadn't spoken to them about their journey since they got back from school. I had been so focused on Alex's health that I had neglected my children. "I'm sorry, g

Olivia's POV I stood in the living room, looking at my family with excitement. The Christmas tree twinkled in the corner, and the fireplace crackled with warmth. "Hey guys, I have an idea," I said, trying to contain my enthusiasm. "I was thinking we could all go to the Barnes Tavern for the New Year's Eve special. I work there, and it would be so much fun to spend the evening together." My mom, Rhonda, looked at Alex, her expression concerned. She was sitting on the couch, her blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail, and her blue eyes sparkling with worry. "I don't know, Liv. Your stepdad just had a heart attack, and I don't want to leave him alone." Alex waved his hand dismissively, his brown hair messy and his green eyes twinkling with amusement. "I'm fine, Rhonda. I'm feeli

SOPHIA'S POV  I had one major reason why I decided I wouldn't go home. The last thing I needed was to be back home in my drunkard mother's van and eat stale Mac and cheese that she got when she wasn't spending her money on drinks.  It was a tough life growing up indeed, and I badly wanted to do better.  To not become her.To give my child the best life has to offer. That was why I busted my ass off and studied till I almost drove insane, even with teachers who were not the most encouraging, because in my earlier years, I was as dull and slow as a slot.  However, I made it through graduation,

Dante's POV  I walked into the office feeling confident and prepared for my presentation. I had been given the project for over two weeks, but I had not been able to come up with any creative ideas, but after talking to my dad last night, everything had clicked into place. I was ready to nail this pitch and show my colleagues what I was capable of. I didn't just want to be seen as the boss's son, but a capable one. One who worthy of Addams name. As I headed towards the meeting room, I couldn't help but feel grateful to my dad. He had always been a source of inspiration and guidance for me, and I was lucky to have him in my life. I had just a few minutes to go, but I wanted to be in the meeting room before everyone. As I was about to enter the meeting room, I heard whisp
