To Hate My Stepbrother

Mason’s POV

Silently, I sat in the backseat as I watched Aisha drive like she was going crazy, there was only little I could do except try to navigate my way through my other phone without being suspicious.

Khalid’s whimper jolted me out of my thoughts and I just couldn’t help but feel sorry for the boy for having someone like Aisha as his mother,

If that one night mistake hadn’t happened, he wouldn’t have been unfortunate to be born to someone like her but on the brighter side I got to be the father of the ball of sunshine.

“We’re going to be fine.” I hushed Khalid and he seemed to have a lot of trust in me as he nodded slightly and Aisha let out a hysterical laugh.

Pulling over suddenly, she yanked Khalid out of the car and demanded that I followed her into the uncompleted building silently.

“There she is,” my heart sank when I saw Ava. She looked like she’d been beaten badly and just when I was about to walk towards her Aisha’s voice stopped me.

“You move one more inch and they’re both dead meats,” she threatened as she held the gun to Khalid’s head.

Tossing a ring at me, “Get on one knee right now and I don’t need to teach you how to propose, do I?” She grounded the words between her teeth and a cold shiver ran through me.

“You shut your damn mouth up or I’ll shut it up for you!” She yelled at Khalid who’d been sobbing through the entire scenario and the boy swallowed hard.

“Listen, Aisha,” I started, trying to stall and give the cops more time so a lot of damage wouldn’t have been done by the time they got here.

She had no idea that I’d given her my casual phone and that the business phone was still with me and on our way here I’d dialed 911 already. I didn’t need to talk because I made sure they heard the whole thing and knew that we’re in danger.

“There has to be another way to settle things, no one has to get hurt and if you wouldn’t think of anyone else at least think of your son.” My voice was low this time and I hoped she would listen to me.

“Fuck you and fuck the son,” she spat back, “for years I’d raised him alone and you think I did that just because I was generous?” She laughed and I had no idea when my mouth dropped open.

“Now get on your knees and make me your damn wife!” She ordered, I was running out of things to say but I was sure that the cops were on their way.

“C’mon, I know you’re only trying to act tough. You’re a good woman at heart and you shouldn’t let something like….”

I was still talking when the sudden sound of gunshot filled the air, I could smell the gunpowder and all the color I once saw left my face as I looked to see who was hurt.

“Don’t try to sweet talk me, Mason, I know how to use the gun.” She smirked and I was thankful that Ava and Khalid were safe.

I needed to stall but there was nothing else I could do to get her to keep talking because I could see her patience wearing thin.

“Fine.” I muttered as I took the ring and walked towards her. Taking a glance at Ava, she shook her head trying to stop me from doing what I was about to do.

My heart hurts seeing her in that state and I had no other choice than to do what I had to do to get her out of here as fast as possible.

Getting down on one knee, I took a look at Khalid and he too was scared. I knew how bad he wanted me to get married to his mom but today was different, his eyes begged for me to not do it.

“Aisha,” I cleared my throat as I called her name and I could see the glint of excitement in her eyes, “will you marry me?” I finished and her shout for joy filled the room.

Ava looked dejected and I just hoped she would understand why I did it. Mouthing, I told her I was sorry and she only blinked with a nod.

“Yes! Yes! I’ll marry you.” Aisha’s shriek put a halt to my thoughts and stared as she took the ring she’d bought herself from me.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

After taking the ring, she tapped into her phone with her face full of smiles and it didn’t take long for my phone to chime.

Closing my eyes in frustration since I’d thought I kept it on silent, I saw Aisha’s facial expression change but soon changed back.

She wasn’t mad at the fact that I’d given her another phone?

Pulling out my phone because the buzzing and chiming just won’t stop, I unlocked it to find news of me having a child with Aisha and also getting married to her on so many headlines at once.

‘We have a cute little boy together and I’m so happy to announce to you all that we’re married and can’t wait to have more beautiful moments together.

-Aisha.’

Pictures of me and her that I had no idea where she got them all from including Khalid flooded the internet and I could feel my fury gradually overcoming me.

Swallowing down my frustration, I showed her the phone and news and she only shrugged as she grinned from ear to ear.

“What the hell is the meaning of this?” I bellowed, Anger rising in me like a tide and I could hear the throbbing of my rage in me like a drumbeat.

“This is the beginning of our new life, this is our new future and Ava here won’t be a part of that.” She smiled wickedly.

There’s no way she’s going to do that.
