My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 61: WHEN THE MAN YOU LOVE
KATIE’S POV"Standing idle, are we?" Milicent muttered as she walked towards me, wiping her hands against her apron. That was something she liked to do, even though there was never anything to wipe off."Everyone is already settled," I told her, eyes moving over the space of the bar I now worked at. So far, I haven't seen anyone walk through the door, so I figured I could take a little break.The job wasn't stressful for me; naturally, I would be buzzing around, but the pregnancy was making me tired more than usual. Still, I was at least grateful for the chance to work here. I hadn't told my employer about my pregnancy, and I was scared that if I did, he would not fire me. No one would employ someone like me because I would take an extended break after just months of work, leaving him to find someone else to substitute. They would instead get someone who would stay much longer without interruption.So far, it was just the doctor that knew of my pregnancy. It wasn't something I wanted
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 62: THE MASK IS OFF
KATIE’S POVI glanced down and saw the tray on the floor. Glass cups shattered to pieces beside it, and their contents spilled. However, that disaster was nothing compared to the one in my heart. This was a foreign feeling to me, more painful than being sold away by my stepmother, more painful than being falsely accused of murder.I was vaguely aware of the eyes that were staring at me and the whispers that filled the room. They must be whispering about me, too. But none of that registered in my brain; all my attention was on the screen, and I watched Blaze tell our story the other way around.You beast, I thought, shaking with anger. Now, I was well and genuinely unredeemable. Worse than that was the fact that I was helpless in this situation. Not a say in the whole matter, not a way to defend myself. I never felt as powerless as I did at that moment.Then the television screen went blank, and I blinked. I could still see Blaze's image on it, printed in my mind. I wished I could rea
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 63: OUR LOVE IS GONE
AUTHOR’S POVBlaze stared at the unknown number that was calling skeptically. He was starting to dread answering unknown callers, and he didn't want someone else to pop out of the blues with some hidden secret of his and give him more trouble. He had only barely escaped this one. His saving grace was that Axel already had everything ready by the time he got back from Bill's, as opposed to him saying it could wait till the next day.Well, since everything was set, he thought, why not just do it and get it over with? Then, some normalcy would be restored to his life. Maybe this person calling was one of the reporters who hadn't made it in time to witness and capture the live speech. He sighed, shifting away from Lily's embrace. She looked up at him, her almond eyes questioning, and he smiled apologetically. "I'll be back," he told her and exited the roomHe had been surprised to see her in the house, and of course, she had her questions. He has been able to offset that and use her to p
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 64: MEMORY LANE
BLAZE’S POV"Hi, Lily and Cicely," Hunter said, letting the two ladies in with a massive smile.I glanced up at them, pausing the crazy tap dance his fingers were doing on the laptop. Now, why did the ladies decide to come over today? Last I checked, it was Maverick who always invited them over. Well, I guessed that with my progress with Lily, she was a family member now, and I would be seeing a lot of them from now on. "Hey babe," I said as Lily walked up and wrapped her arms around my neck. She smelt like vanilla, her honey-blond hair soft on my skin. "To what do I owe this honor?" I put forth and watched her giggle.“Well, Cicely wanted us to come over and spend time with you guys. Plus, I missed you.” She answered."Yup, that's right," Axel's girlfriend butted in. "This house must be pretty boring without a female in it. You know, all you guys do is sit in front of your systems and ignore each other all day. How do you even survive?""By doing exactly what you said," I muttere
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 65: CAUGHT IN FEELINGS
BLAZE’S POV"Hmm, this isn't half bad," Axel grunted, biting into the pancake he was holding. Ultimately, the family activity was over, and the girls finally let us out of the kitchen. It was a laughable sight, seeing us in aprons with flour on our hands. I wondered what the servants were thinking."Half bad?" Lily yelled, her eyebrows arched. "It would have been perfect if you boys didn't join us.""Oh please, spare us next time," I countered, and laughter filled the air."Anyways, thanks for this, Cicely," I gestured to her, and she nodded."Leaving already?" Lily asked the second I rose.I nodded, startled that she rose too. "I'm just going to sit in the parlor,""I'll come with you." She responded, shrugging. I pulled my lips apart to say something, anything, but there was no reason to tell her to stay back.You might as well start getting used to her clinginess."What are you thinking about, Blaze?" Lily asked as she lay on the couch beside me, her head resting on my thighs. I le
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 66: I THINK I LOVE HER
AUTHOR’S POVThe air felt suffocating, and the mood of the whole hall was off. Hunter looked around, and of course, everyone was dressed in black. He had on a black suit too, and he sat between his brothers, trying not to let the tears slip. Because they weren't crying, even though he was sure they wanted to, and he could be strong like them. They were the only ones he had to look up to now, both of them successful men, and if he couldn't even follow in the tiniest of their footsteps, then there was no way his life would be as good as theirs."You good, bro?" Axel whispered, leaning closer to him. He had been watching him through the corner of his eyes, and his lower lip kept trembling. He didn't want him to start bawling right here.Hunter nodded, a tense look on his face. "I'll be fine."He looked up as Blaze rose, right in the front seat of the gathering, and left with a stone-cold expression on his face."Is it just me, or does he look angry?" Axel asked as Blaze disappeared thro
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 67: STIGMATIZED
KATIE’S POV"I promise you, it's not going to be a distraction," I assured, flattening my palms on the table and leaning closer to the woman sitting opposite me. Luckily, I wasn't getting morning sickness except for the dizziness and sleepiness.She lifted a hand, fingers brushing aside her ginger hair from her eyes. "I'm sorry, miss, we can't have you here."I grit my teeth, feeling desperate. This was the second college I had applied to, and she told me the same thing. What does my pregnancy have to do with my studies anyway? "The baby isn't due till months to come. By then, I must have covered a lot of ground. I swear I can fit into your school schedule.""It's not just that, Miss Tessa." She took a deep breath, preparing to explain what I already knew she would say."Very soon, the pregnancy will start showing, and then what? You'll need to be skipping class for checkups, and we don't allow that here. The maximum amount of days you can skip class in a session is a week, and tru
My Stepson Is a Bully CHAPTER 68: THE CONFUSION
KATIE’S POV"There must be a huge mix-up", I muttered, tapping on my email. I sent a complaint to the help email address on the portal, hoping I would be replied to quickly. I needed this to go on with my search for a college.I still had two more on my list to check out, and they couldn't just reject me. Whatever I had done wrong was not enough for karma to be this cruel.As I arranged my documents to keep them back, my eyes caught a number and name I had scribbled down sometime before.It was labelled 'Mallory', and the name rang a bell. I gasped; she was a friend of mine back then. Perhaps she would be able to do me a little favour. I dialled it in at once, hoping that she would pick up. She did, and I gasped in relief."Mallory, good afternoon," I said."Afternoon...""You're speaking with Katie..." My voice trailed off when I realised I had said my real name out loud. My eyes scanned the area around me; it wasn't empty like I would have preferred. But no one was paying any atten
