My Stepbrother's Dirty Little Secret novel Chapter 758

Chapter 758

“There you are.”

Medusa lifted her head the moment she heard my voice. Her tongue flicked once.

I opened the enclosure, holding out my arm. Her body flowed over my wrist, smooth scales sliding across my skin. as she slowly wound herself around my forearm.

“Miss me?”

She answered by tightening ever so slightly.

I smiled, “I’ll take that as a yes.”

Closing the enclosure, I walked toward the couch and dropped into it.

Medusa continued climbing until half her body rested across my shoulders while the rest curled lazily around my lap.

She’d always liked warmth.

My fingers absentmindedly traced the patterns along her scales, only then did I reach into my pocket.

The third USB drive.

The one I kept for myself.

For a moment, I simply looked at it. It wasn’t evidence. It wasn’t leverage. It wasn’t information.

It was…

Her.

I leaned forward and pulled a thin black case from beneath the coffee table. Inside the case sat a custom-built phone dock no larger than a wallet. Matte black. No logos. Just a row of tiny ports hidden beneath a sliding cover.

I snapped the cover open, the USB slid into place with a quiet click. My phone vibrated the instant it connected.

A small window appeared, external storage detected. Another notification followed almost immediately.

It scanned, and then less than a second later, folders began arranging themselves automatically.

Dates.

Video formats.

Corrupted files.

Duplicates.

Everything sorted before I even touched the screen. I watched the progress bar finish. My thumb hovered over the first folder.

I opened it and saw hundreds of Gianna’s videos. I selected the first random video. The screen shook for a second before steadying.

Hazel’s laugh came first, “Oh, it’s recording.”

The camera turned and a younger Gianna immediately covered her face.

“Mom!”

“No, don’t hide.”

“I’m not dressed!”

“You look beautiful.”

“I look horrible!”

I stared at the frozen frame for another second before opening another, this one lasted longer. A banner stretched

across the wall.

Happy 18th Birthday.

The room was filled with balloons. Hazel was clearly the one holding the camera again. The camera found Gianna standing beside the cake. She looked embarrassed before she’d even blown out the candles.

“Mom…”

“What?”

“Stop recording.”

Jules suddenly appeared behind her, without warning, she shoved frosting onto the tip of Gianna’s nose.

Gianna froze, then grabbed an entire handful of frosting. Jules turned to run but the frosting splattered across the side of her face before she could.

I hadn’t realized I was smiling until my cheek began to ache. Medusa shifted against my shoulder, her cool body brushing my neck. I scratched beneath her head without taking my eyes off the screen.

Another video.

This one started outside. Jules stood beside a garden hose. Gianna was watering flowers. Jules slowly reached over, turned the water pressure all the way up, the hose jerked and the stream exploded forward. Gianna shrieked as water slammed into her shirt.

She spun around, “You did that on purpose!”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“You liar!”

Gianna charged at Jules and she dropped the hose and ran. Water sprayed wildly across the garden.

Hazel’s laughter echoed behind the camera, “Oh, this is definitely staying.”

“Mom!” both of them yelled together.

Hazel laughed even harder, “You’ll thank me one day.”

“We won’t!”

“You will.”

The camera shook as she tried to keep up with them. Jules slipped on the wet grass. Gianna tripped over him a

second later. Both of them landed in the mud.

Then they looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Hazel zoomed in, “My beautiful children.”

One by one, I watched most of them, and then I sat there long after the screen went dark. My thumb rested against. the edge of the phone.

I tossed the phone onto the couch beside me and leaned back until my head rested against the cushion.

Medusa shifted with me, her body sliding across my chest before settling around my shoulders once more.
