All Chapters of Resisting My Hot Stepbrother: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

AllisonAs I stood in the hospital bathroom, the icy water cascaded down my skin, sending shivers down my spine. I gritted my teeth, enduring the chill. Hot water was a luxury in this huge, expensive hospital, obviously.I finished washing, wiped myself clean, and slipped into my clothes. The soft fabric provided meager comfort against the bleak hospital atmosphere. I stepped out of the bathroom, and my gaze fell upon mom, still fast asleep. Her snores resonated through the room, a symphony of exhaustion.I settled onto the bed, trying to catch a few winks, but my phone pierced the silence, shrill and insistent. I reached for it, my heart racing as I saw Sally's name flashing on the screen. It was a video call.I hesitated for a moment before answering. Sally's face filled the screen, her features magnified in a close-up. Her eyes were wide with worry, and her brow was furrowed in concern. I flinched, startled by the sudden proximity of her face."Hey, can you move back?" I gestured,

AllisonI was still in my room when Mom called me, so I trudged downstairs to find her in the kitchen. "Mom, what are you doing now?" I asked, trying to stifle a yawn.Mom laughed, nearly choking on her own amusement. "As you can see, I'm trying to prepare dinner for the family," she said, wiping tears from her eyes.I raised an eyebrow. "Mom, I can do it myself."Mom's laughter intensified, and she couldn't stop giggling. When she finally composed herself, she looked at me with a hint of amusement. "You can cook? When did you start cooking so perfectly? I'm sure you remember you're a kitchen terrorizer, right?"I rolled my eyes, feeling a flush rise to my cheeks. "Mom, please."She chuckled and handed me a task. "Just help me pass those things from the table so I can start getting ready for dinner."I began gathering the items and handing them to her. As we worked, I asked, "What about Tom? Isn't he back from work?""Allison dear?" she called softly, and I looked up to face her. "Tel

JaydenI stood up, adjusting my clothes, and made my way to the door. I opened it to find my stepmom, Elizabeth, standing in the hallway with a concerned expression."Hey, have you seen Allison?" she asked, glancing past me into my room. "I've been trying to knock, but she's not responding. I wondered if she went out without telling me.""She's in my room," I replied, trying to sound nonchalant.Elizabeth's eyes widened in surprise. "What? Why is she in your room?"I heard Allison whisper coldly behind me, "Jayden, are you crazy?""She's reading a manga," I explained to Elizabeth, who still looked confused.I heard Allison whisper again, "Fuck you, Jayden," followed by the sound of her rummaging through my shelf. She was improvising, trying to cover for herself.Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. "Manga?" she repeated, walking into the room to get a closer look.We both turned to see Allison sitting on the edge of my bed, holding a manga and trying to appear nonchalant."Allison, what are y

AllisonJayden's eyes locked with mine, and I almost thought he didn't hear me. I gulped heavily, feeling a sheen of sweat forming on my forehead."Jayden, I—""I have a girlfriend, Allison," he interrupted, his deep voice trembling slightly. "Have you forgotten?""Then, do you love her?" I asked, my words spilling out in a rush.My heart raced fast, and I feared it would break through my ribs. Him calling me by my full name signified how serious he was, and it hurt more than I expected."Tell me, why are you so quiet?" I asked, moving my hands from around his neck to rest on his broad shoulders. His strength was enough to overwhelm me."I love Yvonne," he said without hesitation, and I could practically hear the sound of shattering glass—my heart breaking."I love Yvonne, but I want you, baby," he whispered, leaning closer, clearly wanting to kiss me, but I looked away, causing him to pause midway."Now, what's the problem?" Jayden asked, his face contorted into a scowl."Everything,

AllisonI slipped into my room, closing the door softly behind me. I lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling as my mind replayed the events of the past hour. A sly smile crept onto my face, and my body trembled with excitement. I curled up, wrapping my arms around myself, and let out a contented sigh. Before I knew it, exhaustion caught up with me, and I drifted off to sleep.The next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed. I went through my morning routine, brushing my teeth and washing my face. As I headed downstairs, the aroma of freshly cooked food wafted up, making my stomach growl with hunger. Just as I reached the bottom step, my phone chimed, signaling an incoming message. I pulled it out to see a text from Colby."Are you going to talk about what happened yesterday?" his message read. "I'm still at home, so meet up with me before I leave."I typed out a quick response. "Where are you off to?"Colby replied within seconds. "I'm meeting up with some friends for drinks
