INTRO

{ Lily }"Wake up, dear. The day has finally come," my mother says, out of nowhere.Literally, out of nowhere. I haven't seen this woman in TWO years. I haven't spoken to her in... months. I almost don't understand what she means because I'm hangover and she just woke me up, but then I realize what she means.The day.I think she means 'the day' she promised me ten fucking years ago. The day when my revenge against my stepbrothers will begin. I guess we’re powerful enough to actually take them down now."How did you find me?" I ask, groaning as I get up. Then I look down at the guy in my bed… I don't know who he is, "How did you get inside my house?”"This is my house, smartypants," she laughs, looking momentarily at my naked form before I grab my robe and cover myself up, "I can explain later. The day has come, just like I promised. Today, we will start the downfall of those sick boys.""How?" I ask, blinking and trying to keep up. My mother is not a jokester and she doesn't waste

The News

The building is icy cold and I shiver as soon as I step foot inside but my mother walks in front of me with all the confidence in the world. I try to mimic her, but I’m too hungover for that. My head hurts every time her heels go clack-clack.And much sooner than I’m ready for, we arrive at a glass-walled boardroom. I can see three men inside. Men I know very well.“You can do it,” my mother says without looking at me before opening the door for me. I swallow my fear down and walk inside, repeating her words: you can do it, you can do it.Damon and Aiden are seated at the table and I can feel their eyes on me as soon as I enter, but I don’t pay attention to them yet. My eyes land on the man who stands up with a smile to greet me.Harry. Forty-five years old. A tall and athletic body, warm amber eyes, neatly styled light hair and a face that belongs in an action or superhero movie. Harry is still as handsome as the last time I saw him, but that’s no surprise. This family’s genes ar

All New Stuff

I walk out of the building like something is chasing me. I’m very overwhelmed by seeing the two guys that ruined me, but also because… what in the fuck am I going to do as the CEO of a company? I've never had a job. I dropped out of college. I don't know anything about math. Or finances. Or business. Or science. Or anything, really. "Mom, what the hell?" I say when she finally gets in the back of the Escalade next to me, "I can't be the CEO of anything.""Of course you can. Horizon is the smallest company we have and it's easy stuff. Think of yourself as the manager, you’ll just make sure everything is running correctly. You don't have to handle finances or legalities or technicalities, just overseeing production and making sure they deliver what they need to deliver to those three stores. That is literally it."I know it sounds easy, but that's still to much responsibility for someone like me. And I kind of liked being unemployed. Think I said that last part out loud because my mo

Back Then

**** 11 YEARS AGO ****{ Lily, 15 years old }I don't think my mom knows what the hell she's doing. She got married to her boss after only dating him for five months. Mom said she got into this relationship solely for the money, but Harry is very handsome, not a wrinkled old man, and I've seen them kiss each other. I don't think money can buy that type of chemistry. I think she actually likes him. And to be honest, he has been nice to me so far, so I like him too. And he’s the reason why I'm here. Living in the rich side of Altamira, in a HUGE mansion by the beach with three random boys around my age. One of them is sweet: Dean. One of them is terrifying: Damon. And the other one is... I don't know yet. Aiden is an enigma.I haven't been able to really get a read on him. I think he wears a mask most of the time. But the worst part is how insanely hot all three of them are. Tall, built and beautiful, they all look a lot like their father. Brown hair, olive skin, amber eyes, thic

By Their Rules

**** 11 YEARS AGO ****The drive to school is painfully awkward because Dean is still mad at Aiden. I'm riding in the passenger seat next to the driver and the three boys are sitting together in the backseat. I look over my shoulder. "What happened?" Damon asks in a bored tone when Aiden tries to touch Dean but he slaps his hand away. Dean is sitting in the middle, "Why are you sulking?""Aiden hurt me," Dean complains, his arms crossed tightly across his chest. Knowing what I know about Damon I think he might just punch Dean or something evil, but he actually laughs and wraps his arms around Dean’s neck to pull him to his chest and hug him."Poor little Bean boy," he says in a baby voice, making Dean growl and try to get away, but Damon doesn't let him, "Don't be a pussy, man.""I'm not! But it hurts," Dean complains and finally sets himself free, "Look, my cheeks are still red! Everyone is going to ask what happened to my pretty face.""So? Tell the truth. I did it," Aiden shrugs,

Show Time

**** PRESENT *****{ Lily, 26 years old }I wake up in the middle of the night, feeling pissed off. I hate that being back in Altamira has brought up those memories from the past, when my life went from bad to worse. I try to go back to sleep, but an hour later I have to give up. I just stare at the ceiling and try to think back... did I have any friends in Altamira other than Dean? The answer is no. Not real ones, anyway. I've never been someone who makes good friends. Except Brian Lannister, apparently, even though I don't remember much about him since I only see him when I'm drinking. Still, I send him a text just to check if he still wants to be my friend and maybe visit me sometime. It's six in the morning, but he answers my text almost immediately. "Hey, of course I want to be your friend, maybe even more than that. I wasn't lying. How's it going with your daddy?" He texts back, making me chuckle. "Not that bad yet. Why are you awake so early?" "I'm a reporter, I guess you

Is it?

{ Aiden }Lily Jensen is back in my life, ten years later. I have to sit down in my bed and take a second to gather my thoughts before continuing to get dressed for the party tonight. Her welcome party. Because, apparently, she'll be staying here for good. I will admit it, I'm definitely nervous.I hated to lose her when I was eighteen but it was also a relief because Lily no longer living in my house meant I could ignore the truth: the fact that she's my step-sister. The fact that her legal name is Lilian Carrington, not Jensen. Having her back around me is going to test my morality all over again. I already failed once... will I fail again?I sigh and get up, looking at myself in the mirror while I put on my suit and then fix my hair, putting a little more thought into how I look than normally. Lily was really into me at some point in time. She would grab my face and call me handsome. She would touch all over my body as if she couldn't stop herself.What does she think about me

The Past Self

Before I can go back to Allison, a hand grabs my arm and pulls me to him. My father.I know better than to make a scene, so I don't ask what the fuck is his problem. I just follow him to the bar where Lily was sitting only a couple of minutes ago. Now she's on a couch, texting someone."How's Berenice?" I ask before we both order a drink. My dad looks around us before giving me a tired look, "That bad?""Lily is out of control," he whispers, grabbing his drink and finishing it in just one big gulp. I sip mine, "I have no idea how to approach that situation and Berenice is reaching hysterical territory.""So?" I ask, but I already know what he's going to say. He always does the same shit."You have to help me fix it," he says. Of course. I'm nothing if not his life-fixer, "Talk to her. Just be like: ‘Stop, girl, get your life together’.""You really think she'll listen to me?""You were quite close once upon a time, no?" He asks, frowning, "I seem to remember you two always being toget

Walk Of Shame

This time when I walk to the bar, it’s not because my mom told me to act a mess. It’s because I need to forget the way those two make me feel. I can’t believe how, even after what they did, they still have the power to make me feel like I’m nothing but putty in their hands.Could it be a trauma response? Possibly. I think I’ve seen somewhere that victims sometimes are so messed up in the head, they end up liking what their abusers did. Maybe that’s the case here. Damon did not only hurt me that one time, he stalked me for months before he had the guts to do something about it. He psychologically abused me before he ever touched me. He would call me terrible names and give me those evil eyes all the time.And Aiden… I always knew he had a scary ability to become a different person depending on who he had in front of him. I knew logically that he’s a master manipulator, but I stupidly thought he wouldn’t hurt me because he didn’t have any reason to. I should’ve known he doesn’t need a

Memory Lane

So, the guy last night was Aiden. Of course it was, that’s just my luck. I don't know his voice from heart now that he’s older, so I didn't notice. My stomach starts burning from the fucking rage growing inside of me, but I stay silent. Smart, Lily, be smart. Jumping at him and beating the shit out of him would not be smart. "You passed out in my car before you could tell me where you live," he explains, getting a little closer to me nonchalantly. Fuck this guy. Seriously."Thanks, brother. I guess I'll go now," I say, trying to keep my tone light, but we're not around people anymore. This is just me and Aiden, so he doesn't feel the need to pretend anymore. He moves and before I notice, he grabs my jaw. "I'm not your fucking brother," he growls out, tightening his grip on my jaw. The good guy is gone, I guess, "I've never been your brother, Lilian.""Right," I say, rolling my eyes, "Step-brother, then. I still have to go.""No, not yet. This is the first time in a decade I have y
