To Hate My Stepbrother

Ava’s POV

The loud sound of the banging on the door jolted Mason and I out of our sleep and I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me what I already knew. She already said yesterday that she was going to come back when her son was home and he’s home now.

I watched as Mason left the bed angrily and hurried downstairs while I started getting ready for work.

“Throw her out of here and I do not ever want to see her here again or you’ll all lose your job.” His voice was loud enough that I could hear it upstairs.

Soon, Mason and I were ready to leave for work and as soon as I got to my office I started working on the files that I’d left halfway done yesterday.

Trying to catch up with the figures and also make sure that there’s no funny business going on. I looked up to see Mason hovering over me with a smile on his face.

“I have a meeting with an investor and I better leave now,” he informed me as he checked his wristwatch, “wanna come?” He asked.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“No,” I responded as I shook my head negatively, “I have tons of work to do so I better focus on that. I hope your meeting goes well and please send my regards to him.” I smiled and he nodded as he walked out of the office.

Focusing back on my work, the blaring sound of my phone alarm ringing brought it to my notice that it was time for my lunch break already.

Closing the file I was working on, I made my way to the company’s cafeteria and there I saw Mason’s secretary, we’ve become good friends.

Eating, we started talking about their trip and she told me things she thinks I should know like Mason would have left out the details.

“Ma’am!” I heard someone call breathlessly and shocked, I tried to urge her to calm down before saying what it is she wants to tell me.

“I’m sorry ma’am but there’s someone at the lobby and she’s causing a huge scene.” She explained as she still struggled to catch her breath.

Mason’s secretary and I shared a look of disbelief as I tried to think of who in their right state of mind would want to come to a professional area to cause a scene.

“Where are the securities?” I asked and she explained in the best way that she could that they’ve tried to keep her out of the premises.

“She kept tossing her bag and shoes at them and it’s really getting out of hand and she’s yelling for you and the CEO, who by the way is in a meeting and will be unable to attend to her.” She added and I placed my sandwich back on the plate in front of me.

I was about to ask who it was when the door flew open and I was opportune to see who it was by myself.

“Where the hell is that bitch!” She yelled as she walked in and I rolled my eyes in disgust and frustration.

Of course she’s the one. Why didn’t I think about her?

Standing up, I walked towards her because I’ve really had enough of her consistent nuisance constitutions and the last place I will want to have her acting a fool is the company.

“Ma’am, this is really wrong,” I tried to keep my anger at bay as I spoke, “this is a professional area, people work here and you can’t just come in here and start yelling like a maniac.” I said to her but she wasn’t listening.

“Enough!” I yelled, I was tired of her already and I was glad that my yell worked because she kept quiet at once, “you need to respect yourself and respectfully, I’m asking you to leave the premises.” I added calmly this time.

She stared at me for what seemed like minutes before laughing hysterically as she made her way closer to me. A tingling sixth sense told me to take a step back but I wanted to see what she wanted to do to me.

Before I knew what was going on a resounding sound filled the room and for a moment all I could see were just flickers of light as I staggered and my cheek stung.

She just slapped me again!

“I thought you have an iota of shame but you have none!” She spat at me, “you’re nothing but a whore and I really can’t believe how possible it was for you to fuck your own sibling!” She added in another yell.

“I did my homework on you!” She kept yelling as she turned to face the audience she’d attracted, “Ava’s mother was nothing but a whore and she saw dating my husband as a way to get out of her miserable life that she had to get married to him!” She yelled and the crowd gasped.

“Like that wasn’t enough, the daughter, who is also a cheap slut by the way, decided to start sleeping with my son. Shameless family!” She spat at me and as disgusting as it was I only cleaned her spit off my face.

I really tried to have her calmly removed from the premise but she kept yelling horrible things about me and my mother. I could feel the sting of hot tears at the back of my eyes as my heart broke.

Running out of the office, my bodyguard came out with me but I insisted that he leave me alone as I made my way to the parking lot.

Unable to hold myself, I broke down in the parking lot as I clutched my tears and allowed the tears to flow freely.

Finally calming down, I dried my tears and I was about to leave when I saw a car parked just in front of me and all of a sudden I felt someone grab my arm.

I wanted to scream but I felt a handkerchief on my face and soon everything became blurry and the last thing I remember was being carried.
