All Chapters of In Love and Hate With My Stepbrothers: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

When the officers say goodbye to us and leave the house, I give myself a few seconds to close my eyes and breathe. There's no need to panic. There's no need... “Fuck!" my dad blurts out, "How could this happen? Aiden, I thought you had it under control! I trust you to deal with this type of shit.” I clench my fists and force myself to stay calm. I slowly turn to my dad. "I controlled ‘this shit’ as much as someone can control a lot of women your son has abused. Watch your fucking tone, because I'm not in the mood for you to talk to me like I'm your fucking assistant," I say, my voice clear and loud enough for him to understand. I'm not going to yell or make a fuss, but I'm not going to let him walk all over me either. My father's eyes widen as if he's shocked by what I said. "Aiden, what the hell? This is not the time for you to find your voice," he scoffs, rolling his eyes. Fuck him, "We need to stick together. I just want to know how..." "I have no idea how this happened,

The return to the main topic clears my head again. I swallow and turn on the bed to sit cross-legged, facing Aiden. “Are you on my side?” I ask, biting my lip nervously. Aiden sighs and sits up too, now we’re literally face to face, “Because I can’t tell you everything if you’re not.” “Even if you don’t tell me, I already have an idea of what’s going on in my head. If I wasn’t on your side, you’d know,” he says, making my nervousness even worse. I don’t know what to say, “Alright, I’ll tell you what I think and you can fill in what I’m missing.” “Okay,” I answer, taking a deep breath. “After years, you had the courage to tell your mother what Damon did to you, and she told you about the girls because she obviously doesn’t give a shit about Damon,” he starts, and he’s more or less wrong, “Berenice has ways to get the contacts of the girls, so she convinced them to talk. She paid them more than I did or offered them something better, revenge. And you finally got your revenge too

Someone knocks on the door as I'm throwing my dirty -unsalvageable- panties in the trash can and pulling my shorts back up. "I'll be out in a second!" I yell and hurry to get decent. I wash my hands and wet my hot face to freshen up before opening the door for the girl waiting outside. "Hey… Aiden's sister, right?" the girl says with a genuine smile when she sees me, but I freeze in panic again. I'm basically a fainting goat at this point. Because this is Aiden's girlfriend. She’s the girlfriend of the guy I just fucked. The last time I was in this situation, the girl beat my ass. I'm not ready for that again, especially not when I'm having a psychological crisis. I just had sex with my ex-boyfriend/step-brother and I had the other one arrested. I need a break. "Yeah, hi. Sorry, I have to go," I mumble and I basically run back to the day-bed where Aiden is still waiting for me. I sit down and try to get my breathing controlled before I pass out. "Lily, you're going to give

{ Aiden } “I’m not going to tell you,” I respond, making my brother clench his jaw in anger, “I’ll handle it.” “I know you’ll handle it, but I want to fuck them over. I want retaliation,” he says in an obvious tone, “And I promise you, I can do it without stepping foot out of the house.” “Tell you what… once this trial shit is over, I’ll tell you the name and let you do whatever the fuck you want to them. But not right now,” I offer, knowing damn well I won’t ever tell him Lily put him in this situation. She has no way of defending herself against Damon in a rampage, “I need you to be in a good mental state and that does not include you plotting someone’s demise. You get too carried away.” “Fine,” Damon rolls his eyes, looking away from me. The way he’s not cursing me out or making a joke out of what I just said tells me everything I need to know. He’s not doing okay and he knows it. His hands are moving up and down his pants as if he wants to wipe sweat on them, his anxie

“You got what you wanted. Damon is now public enemy number one. He’s being attacked online from all sides, his name will be tarnished forever,” I start, waiting for a proud smile from her or something, but Lily just sighs and nods with a strained smile, as if she’s forcing herself to be happy about it, “Now I need you to help me fix what you broke. Are you paying for the girls’ legal fees?” “Yes,” she replies, frowning, “Why?” “I need access to that,” I say, but Lily frowns as if she doesn’t understand. Of course, “Your mom is handling it, I imagine? Well, I need to talk to her then.”“Are you going to… threaten her or something?” she asks, raising a hand to bite her nails. When I pay closer attention, I notice all her nails are messed up. They used to be long a few weeks ago. She’s anxious, worried, probably regretting what she did. That’s good. I can use it. “Of course not, Lily,” I say to reassure her, “I’m going to take charge of the girls’ legal team to make sure they l
