Abigail's POV

I lie awake in my bed, staring at the ornate ceiling, while my mind drifts around like a restless storm.

Ricky's words from earlier keep replaying in my head.

"There's something you need to know about Nathan's past. It might help you understand him."

But before he could continue a call had come in leaving Ricky to dismiss me.

What had he meant by that? His tone was filled with concern.

And why hadn't he returned to explain himself further? He'd left me hanging, and my mind spiral

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Ninety Nine: Stung

    Luca's POV Why would a bad boy like that want Abigail anyway?She's a good girl and definitely not his type. She's a nerd, but not in the same class as him. So why does he keep trying to get close to her.I can't still wrap my head around the fact that they live in the same house. It pisses me off, every time I think about it.Abigail claims her mother works there as a maid, but I've never met her mother on any of my surprise visits. It makes me suspicious.She wouldn't even let me visit unless I come unexpected. What is she hiding? I wish I could follow her home today, see how he reacts. He'd be furious I'm sure.The last time he sighted me in the mansion, he was boiling.I won't lie though, I love to see that look on his face.He might be a bully but, he is also human and has fears.I won't let him have Abigail. He doesn't deserve her. “Luca!!!” I heard my name abruptly and jerked out of my thoughts.It was the therapist. With the look on her face, she has been calling for a whil

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Ninety eight: The Painful Distance

    Nathan I gave enough distance as I walk behind her secretly.My hands were deeply into my pockets while I bow my head a little.School periods were over and she was on her way back to the car. I just want to ensure that Gajeel wasn't trailing her.She was close to the car, but then Luca stops her for a chat.I rolled my eyes.“Why do he keeps trying when she's clearly not interested?” I say, giving a frown.If not that he is on a wheelchair, I feel like going there and giving him a punch on the chin. I shouldn't.I'm the reason he is in that state anyway. If I wasn't too reckless in driving.I wonder why he hasn't reported it yet. He doesn't seem to even take it seriously, even when he knows it's me.Sometimes, I think I prefer him this way. He acts to clumsy around Abigail.Wait a sec...He's using this as a yardstick to get closer to Abigail, isn't he?I can't believe that heck!I grin while tightening my fist. But I stand still.I can't move even though I want to, because it'll o

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Ninety seven: The Threat

    Nathan's POV How did he escape the police?Are Aiden and Gray also out or in the police custody?I thought I played videogame with Aiden once?He definitely is not in custody. Or could he?I'm totally confuse and the one person who can answer my question, wouldn't listen to me any longer.He thinks I caused all the trouble and got them caught.Actually, he blames me for involving Abigail in it, which I didn't.Her curiosity got her there.I rub my face hard, my eyes burning.If Gajeel needs that money, it means he certainly plans to run away.I wonder if the police are after him. I think he escaped from them, giving the way he's keeping a low profile.He was the one who introduced the rest of us to the operations of the warehouse in the first place.He has become a threat anyway and I must be cautious of him.If he can publicize a video of Abigail claiming to leave with me, then he's going to do more than just that.I should be vigilant.I try to warn Abigail that he is around the co

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Ninety six: The Warning

    Nathan's POVShe sterns leaning back against the table. Her eyes aren't exactly looking at me.She's still angry with me and she has all right to. I left her alone for days.“I came to warn you to be careful. I heard Gajeel might be in school.”She laughs sarcastically, “What does Gajeel being in school have to do with me huh?” She rants.“Keep it down. You don't want to be caught here.” I said in a low tone.“You're so unbelievable Nathan.” She snarled, pulling back from the table.“I just want you to be safe Abigail.” I said moving closer.“He's your friend isn't he? How's been around you any better?” Her angry tone just rose up, even when I advised she keeps it down.“I know you're angry with me, but please understand that whatever I did, I had to do it.”“Angry? Angry is just an understatement, I'm mad at you!” She threw her finger at my chest and push me gently.It's obvious I can't console her just yet. I should give her time I guess.She stands up to leave and then I hold her h

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Ninety five: The Post II

    Abigail's POV“You must have seen the post haven't you?” Luca snapped. His countenance looked dull.I nodded forward to reply a 'yes' and clutch tight to my phone.“Who would do such a thing?” he asked me, my face looking tense as my mind floods with the possibility of the post's effects.Nathan in it somehow makes it worse. If it was only Luca and I in that video discussing about something else, I wouldn't be as bothered as I am right now.“They're a lot of people who could do something like this Luca. I just don't know who to suspect.” I replied abruptly. “I have to go to class luca.” She added and began to walk out.“But---we're in the same class.” Luca's voice sounds faint behind me.I paced quickly, but not as quiet as I wanted to be, my shoes made clicking sounds against the tiles floor.As I enter the class, I could see the look on everyone's faces.If I haven't seen the post, I'd have said they only stared that way because I was away for awhile. But who cares?They probably st

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Ninety four: The Post

    Abigail's POVI try my best to hide my shock, but I guess I exclaimed before I realized it.He was upon a wheelchair, heading my direction.He wave at me as he got near and greeted, “hi!”“Luca---” I muttered, wondering how he got upon a wheelchair.“Abigail---Abigail!” Luca's voice snapped me out of my thought.“Oh---hi!” I wave back. I definitely didn't mean to sound excited, looking at his current condition. It was however a fake smile.And at the same time, I didn't want to look like I was pitying his condition. “What happened to you Luca?” I asked.“Uh---” he paused looking sad. “It was an accident.” He snapped.“I'm so sorry luca.” I muttered. I couldn't control my emotions. I didn't mean to show them in front of him. I know he wouldn't want to be pitied.“Come on Abigail, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. The therapist said I'll probably be back on my feet in a week or two.” He voice carries a note of fear, like he doubts it.“Oh! That's good news. Why didn't you sta
