SEDUCING MY STEPBROTHER novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22

The party was in full swing until 8 pm when mom and Balthas got ready for their honeymoon. Aziz and I were left in charge of the guest, making sure that they all leave in good shape. From the corner of my eyes, I could see the Aziz family standing off to one side, each one holding their group as they continue to have fun.

I couldn't wait for them to leave tomorrow... The original plan was for them to leave two days after the couples had gone for their honeymoon but due to the stunt Cora and her mother pulled during dinner a few days back.

Aziz had a talk with his dad, demanding that they should leave as fast as they can. I wanted them out of my hair anyway so I supported him and told Balthas that I am too wary of having too many people around me.

I shook my head as I recalled everything that happened yesterday.

^^^^^^^^^

When Balthas had called his family together and informed them that they are to return to their houses the day after the wedding.

Tania had put up a fight, demanding to know why her brother was chasing them out of his house but Reina had put her in her place, reminding her that Balthas was the oldest in the family, so his decision shouldn't be questioned.

Things become heated immediately and it ended up in utter chaos with Tania pointing fingers at my mom for destroying her family by getting married to her brother.

It was the first time I had seen Aziz angry but I loved his dominance and the way he stood up for my mother as if she was his mother. He stood up from his seat when Tania called mom a bïtch, with Cora hurling insults at my mom, and grabbed Cora by the throat, his hand squeezing so hard.

"Aziz," she groaned, staring up at him in pain.

"The next time you open that filthy mouth of yours to talk to my stepmother without bridling your tongue... I swear on my mother's name, I'll cut it off." I could recall the way Cora's eyes widened, her nose flared and she looked down at her feet in shame.

The man she pined for disgracing her in front of the whole family. He thrust her away from him and looked at Tania.

"I know you are not really angry at her because you wouldn't get to see more of your brother," he jabbed his finger toward mom. "You are furious because you will not get to execute your plan of getting your adopted daughter hooked up with me." Tania gasped and so did everyone seated around the table.

"How dare you?" She yelled.

"If you as much as open your mouth to call her a bitch or insult her until you leave this house, you will see a side of me that you don't like."

'I would like to see that side of you' the words rolled around my head but I dare not voice them out for fear of exposing our little secret to the entire family.

Cora glared at me and I rolled my eyes at her. 'Desperate Bïtch' I mouthed to her and she flared up, coming for me.

I averted my eyes and acted like I didn't know she was so close to me. I let her grab my hair in her hand and pull at it. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Aziz's face dimmed at the way she keeps yanking my hair as if she wants to pull it out of its root. He grabbed her from behind and threw her off me, his face darkened as he looked me over.
