Mated To My Stepbrother-Chapter 43

Aria pov*

" I took you as everything, I love you, and you abandoned me for five days. Should I be telling my mother? Should I be telling Father? Should I be that heartless? You will tell me where you are, or else it’s the end of everything between us."I said to him with all the bitterness in my soul.

Despite every word I uttered from my mouth to Jaxon, He still did not seem a bit shaken at all as he stared at me with no remorse. I felt so bitter as I turned away and rested my forehead on Tim’s shoulder. He also seemed bothered as he gave Jaxon a death glare.

"It is fine if you don’t want to tell me. I’m already used to you keeping a lot of things. Besides, we are not that close, and we don’t share secrets I know it is something you don’t want to tell anybody, so it is. " I said to him and signaled for him to escort me back to the bed.

I sat on the bed and smiled to myself. I was happy, but because I was so sad and broken, I did not know who to confront or trust anymore.

I could not tell if telling me the truth was too hard for him because he didn’t care for me or just let it be.

After a few seconds of sitting on the bed, Jaxon still did not say anything, nor did he move from where he was standing. I decided to let it all go. There was no use in keeping it in my mind for that long. Just when I was about to adjust myself on the bed and lie down, Jaxon finally spoke up.

"There are some things I think it is too dangerous for you to know about, so it would be much better if we just leave it this way.I hope you understand me," Jaxon said, but I did not bother to reply and instead shut my eyes tightly, trying to hold all the emotions.

"And I am sorry if my words hurt you in any way, but I never meant any of it, and my silence would have hurt you even more. I hope you see my real sincerity." Jaxon said to me as he turned around and left.

Timothy just stood there in silence as I tried holding my tears. I could not believe I had just several ties with Jaxon because he refused to tell me a secret and why he was away for five days. No matter how bad or deep the secret was, it wasn’t something he had or was meant to keep away from me. He was supposed to tell me everything, no matter what he was, to tell me everything that was going on. I thought that was why we had decided to become intimate.

"I always warned you about him but you just never listen, do you." Tim muttered to me and I couldn’t help but look away in embarrassment. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

*Jaxon pov*

As I stepped out of the room, I couldn’t help but slam my hand on the wall angrily as I yelled in annoyance.

I brought out my phone from my pocket, which had beeped a few minutes ago and was the reason why I had stepped out, only for me to check the message and see it was from Rachel, as she was asking how I was doing and why I had to leave in such a hurry.

I couldn’t help but feel bitter as I recall the words from Aria. She had just several ties with me because I could not tell her my little secret of why I was away for almost a week.

I couldn’t help but feel bitter and angry at myself. I had just made Aria hate me so much.

How was I going to explain to her that the one girl I never wanted to return to my life was suddenly in my life again, and now she wanted to make it worse? How was I going to even share myself between the two of them?

I could not tell Aria about Rachel, just as much as I cannot tell Rachael about Aria, but if I could pick between them, I would pick Aria over Rachel 1000 times. Just as I stared at my screen for a few seconds, another beep came in, and it was Rachel asking why I was ignoring her message as she thought I wanted to abandon her again.

I felt so frustrated as it dawned on me that Rachel was back again, and no matter what, I could not avoid her. While I was still staring at the screen, I still got another message again from Rachel, but this time, she was warning me not to try anything stupid, for she could track me down, and this time, the police would not let me go.

I did not feel so scared, for I knew I was about to reply to her and was just a little bit shaken from what had just happened, but before I could even type a message to her, she had already begun to call me.

I contemplated on whether or not to pick up the call, and yet, multiple messages from her began to enter. While the call was still on, I had no choice but to pick the call up, only to hear her chuckling at the other end of the line.

"I thought you were not going to pick it up. I had already had a lot of things planned for you."

I was a bit confused about what to say before I finally replied to her.

"I was not scared, OK, and I was planning on picking up your call. I was just too busy and just saw the messages now," I said to her, but she seemed silent for a few seconds before speaking.

"Well, I have good news for you. I am coming to your school a week earlier than expected."
