Helanie:
"Who the hell let you into my room?" he yelled the mont he started unlocking the bathroom door. He didn’t even know who it was and was already this angry. Imagine if he saw , he’d lose his mind.
I allowed the panic to settle for a mont before springing into action and rushing out of the room. Instead of heading downstairs, I kept running and frantically rattling the doorknobs of every room I passed.
All seed locked until I reached one door with a golden pattern on it. My breath caught in my throat as I twisted the knob and pushed the door open.
At this point, my brain had latched onto the idea that as long as I kept running and hid well, I would be fine. Any open door felt like an invitation to safety.
That night, the train door had been just a few steps away, and if I’d sohow managed to get through those doors, I wouldn’t have suffered as much.
So now, I took the chance and darted into the room as fast as I could.
Unfortunately for , Kaye had already left his room, searching for whoever had broken so decor in his bedroom.
That much rage over a decoration? And Aunt Emma said he was the calst one. Or should I say, I was tricked into believing that. Aunt Emma really screwed over.
But now I was facing an entirely different disaster. The room I had barged into without any warning had a naked man lying on the bed with an equally naked woman on top of him.
"Oh, f**k!" the girl yelled in pleasure, grinding and riding him.
"Ahhh!" I shrieked, covering my eyes and spinning around to leave the room. One step out the door, and I bumped right into Kaye’s broad chest.
I quickly stepped back and slamd the door shut before our eyes could et. I thought if I locked it, maybe he’d leave.
"What the hell are you doing in my room?" Maximus shouted from behind . I couldn’t even gather the courage to turn around and face him.
I had ruined his ti with the she-wolf, who was probably his mate, and now he was grumbling and muttering curses under his breath.
"Who is she?" the girl complained.
I stood frozen, facing the door, hearing the loud banging on it. I was stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea at this point.
"Open the damn door, Maximus!" Kaye shouted, calling out to his brother. Maximus climbed out of bed, coming into view as he quickly adjusted his blue jeans while glaring at the door.
"What did you do?" he asked, turning his gaze to .
"I went to his room to give him breakfast, but it was so dark I couldn’t see properly and probably knocked sothing over—" I rambled, but he caught sothing in my words that made him shake his head as if to confirm he was hearing right.
"You went into his room?" His blue eyes narrowed at , emphasizing that part of my explanation.
"Yes," I stamred, stopping short when he sighed in disbelief. He was still shirtless, displaying his abs and the muscle cuts properly. His cologne was so srizing that I felt ashad of breathing next to him.
"You’re screwed," he said. Not bothering to ask if I’d be okay facing his brother, he opened the door without hesitation.
However, Maximus gestured for the girl to hide in the bathroom. She was still only wrapped in a sheet, but she didn’t catch his signal and stood awkwardly beside the bed.
Kaye seed to have rushed out of the shower when he heard in his room. His black shirt was soaked, and his black pants were starting to get drenched too.
"Did you seriously hide her in here?" Kaye stord in, glaring at his brother while pointing at .
"I didn’t! She barged in and invited herself into my room. If you have any issues with her, deal with it outside," Maximus said, clearly eager to get rid of us, but his urgency went unnoticed as Kaye turned to face .
"Why the hell did you co into my room? Don’t you know I hate people invading my personal space?" With each step Kaye took toward , my breath caught in my throat.
I felt like I was about to pass out. It brought back mories, the ones I had been hiding from everyone.
"I—I didn’t know. I was told to bring you breakfast—" I stamred, backing up until my back hit the wall, and he got right in my face.
"You’re not our stepsister, you’re not part of this family. So why the hell—" As he threw a punch at the wall just above my head, I ducked, covering my face with my hands.
His aggression reminded of that night, filling with a paralyzing fear, and everything around beca a blur of mumbled voices until I heard a loud grunt that silenced everyone.
"Is this how you treat a girl? The sa girl who is your stepsister?" It was Lord McQuoid. He must have heard the commotion and rushed upstairs to check on the chaos.
"She ca into my room without knocking—" Kaye yelled, but his father’s harsh glare cut him off. I had stood up on my feet by now, watching the world burn because of .
My mother stood by Lord McQuoid’s side, her eyes burning with hatred, as if I had ruined her perfect little family’s peace.
"So what? That’s no reason to yell and chase after her like a lunatic," his father responded, sounding calm and reasonable, soone who could actually empathize with others.
But my mother, on the other hand, shocked .
"But everyone knows Kaye hates it when his personal space is invaded. She shouldn’t have gone in there," she spoke up against , clearly trying hard to please the brothers.
"Then it’s your fault. You should have told her. She only brought breakfast to her stepbrother’s room, trying to be helpful," Lord McQuoid snapped at her, shocking her as he raised his voice.
My mother’s jaw dropped as the situation quickly turned against her. I knew I’d be in for a lecture from her later.
But then, things got even worse. The girl started to quietly slip away, heading toward the bathroom. I watched Lord McQuoid’s eyes widen at the sight, and then they landed squarely on his son.
"You brought her here—?" His jaw clenched with anger.
"Dad, it’s not what it looks like—" Maximus stamred, quickly stepping in front of the girl to block her from view. It was at this point that I realized she wasn’t his mate.
"Pack your things. You’re leaving my mansion."
Lord McQuoid’s words to his son shook everyone to the core, and all eyes turned to . I had set off this chain reaction, dragging both brothers into a heated confrontation with their father.
How on earth would I escape this ss now?
