To Hate My Stepbrother

Mason’s POV

The blaring sound of my phone ringing again jolted me out of my thoughts as I let out a sigh before checking to see that it was the COP calling me.

“Hey, I’ve got some news for you,” he started and I pinched down hard on the bridge of my nose as I listened to what he had to say.

“We got multiple matches from the DNA we got from the hospital and most of them only had like 75% match but there was one whose DNA matched a hundred percent and we already arrested him.” He explained.

The news of the cops getting a hold of the man who’d attempted to kidnap Khalid brought a sense of peace to me.

Although I was annoyed about the fact that he was caught after my son had died, I couldn’t help but feel like we’re just a step away from getting justice for my son.

Dropping the call, I hurriedly called Ava and told her about what the COP told me and soon, we were both driving to the police station.

Driving as fast as I could, we got to the station and Ava and I got into the COP’s office to wait for him since we were told that he was still interrogating the kidnapper.

“You’re here,” he announced as he had his seat in front of us, I could see his bloody hands and I just knew that the criminal didn’t have his interrogation easy.

“Who is he and were you able to get him to disclose who sent him?” I asked and the way the COP shook his head negatively caused my heart to shatter.

“But don’t worry, we’re getting there,” he assured us, “from what I was able to get from him, he kidnapped Khalid just so they could get back at you.” He explained and Ava asked who were the ‘they’ he was talking about.

The COP explained to us that they couldn’t get the information of those who sent them, I wasn’t satisfied and I felt the need to ask the kidnapper some questions.

Getting into the interrogation room, my blood boiled and anger surged through my veins like a volcano about to erupt.

“Who sent you?” I asked through gritted teeth and the sound of the man’s laughter got me even angrier, my fist clenched in anger and I wanted to hit his already disfigured face so hard but the COP held me back.

I lost my son because of the bastard and he had the nerve to laugh when I asked a question. The COP took the reigns and asked him but he told us that he also had no idea who sent them.

“We do what we’re told without questions and we only get the money wired into our account. We don’t require a physical meeting or anything.” He explained.

“So, you want us to believe that you have no tab on whoever it is that hired you?” The COP questioned and I saw the smirk play out on the kidnapper’s bruised lip.

“Believe it or not, we don’t need to have a tab on them. We were hired off a burner phone.” He answered and with a nod of the COP’s head the man wad taken out of the interrogation room.

Ava wouldn’t stop crying on our way home and I could also feel her pain, I had no idea what to say to her to make her feel better because both of us were still mourning the death of Khalid.

TWO DAYS LATER

Worried that whoever sent those men would try to kidnap someone again, I refused to allow anyone go out for two days now.

I’d decided to be careful and since I wasn’t there to protect my son, I wanted to be able to be there for the rest of my families, I want to be able to protect them.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

All the work I wanted to do, I did from my home while the rest of the family stayed in their various rooms and only came outside to keep each other’s company.

“Oh, yes, cancel the meeting and work on…..” I was explaining some things to my secretary when the door opened and Ava came in with a tray of food.

Quickly, I hung the call up as I smiled at her, she made sure I ate everything on the plate and when I finished eating she sat with me as we both talk to each other.

“I’m just so worried about everyone and I feel like it’s going to happen again.” I sighed as I tried to look away but Ava pulled my face back so that I’m facing her.

“None of what has happened will repeat itself.” She assured me with a smile on her lips before placing it on mine.

The movement of her finger on my bare skin made my dick rock hard and I just couldn’t resist the urge to fuck her on my office table.

The sex seemed like what I needed to calm myself down, “I love you.” I let out breathlessly as I kissed her again.

We were both naked and breathless on my office table when we heard a knock on the door that made us jump as we laughed at each other.

Throwing my clothes on rapidly, I opened the door slightly to see my father waiting by the doorway and he’d come to ask me to go out for a drink with him and without hesitation I left with him.

We both drank that night and I couldn’t help the tears that streamed down my face as I cried on my father’s shoulders. I blamed myself for Khalid’s death but my father stopped me.

“Don’t blame yourself, wallowing in self pity right now isn’t what you need,” he started and I sniffled as I listened to him.

“Everything happens for a reason, Khalid is gone and it’s not your fault, he’s in a better place now,” he continued, “stop blaming yourself and start thinking of how to protect Ava.” He added.

“She needs you now more than ever.” He finished with a smile as he patted my back.
