Mated To My Stepbrother-Chapter 44

Jaxon pov

That was one of the worst news I had ever heard; I could not believe she had forwarded her admission to a week from now; this was just so absurd. I felt frustrated but decided to keep quiet.

I began to chuckle as I made it sound like I was happy on the phone, and she then chuckled back at me, giving the same vibes as I was given, but I could tell her happiness was different from mine because I was not happy at all.

I thought I still had two weeks to enjoy myself with Aria until she came, but it turned out that two weeks was just my imagination, and she had already been prepared for me. I had nothing else to say to her, as I had become speechless, but I could still feel her waiting for me to say something.

I decided to speak up. "That is a good thing. It is a good thing you are returning. Do not worry, I would still make sure you have all

The fun." I said to her in hopes that she would end the discussion there, but she was not ready to end it.

"Do not worry; I will ensure you never forget me. I would make sure you have the best time of your life in school too", she said, and even before I could respond, she immediately caught the call.

That was one thing I hated about her. I might be one of the cruelest people in the school, but she was worse than me because she had a way of manipulating me, and later she claimed that I abandoned her when she was the one who made things hard for the both of us.

Just as she ended the call, I immediately remembered my conversation with Aria, and I felt so sad. I felt like slamming my phone to the wall. That was something I could not forget; no matter how hard I tried to forget it, it just kept coming back to me continuously.

I walked towards her world as I slowly opened the door, only to see her chuckling so happily with Tim as he seemed to be telling her a story, and she was also enjoying the dishes he had bought for her.

I closed the door as I held my chest in pain. She could not understand how fast I had to get here to check on her.

But just one mistake, just because I can’t tell her something. I think she is not meant to know, and suddenly, I am the bad guy. I would not stop caring for her because of that one mistake; after all, she was all I cared about now. I decided she needed the space as much as I also needed to find a way to make sure that Aria and Rachel would never get to meet; that was my life aim.

If Aria already hates me for keeping a secret from her, what would she do to me if she ever finds out that I am keeping Rachel from her?

I stood patiently in front of the door for some minutes, hoping Aria might change her mind and let me in, but I did not even hear anything from her, even though I was sure she could feel my presence in front of the door.

I decided to give her a little space; maybe a little fun time with the team will help her a lot. I never understood why I hated him; he just walked with his frustrating guy. It felt like he was always one step ahead of me and trying to steal what belonged to me, which was Aria.

I wish I could publicly claim her as mine right now so that he would have no choice but to let her be. After all, she belongs to me, which should never change as I slowly walked away.

There were only two things in my mind: how to get Rachel out of the way without having her round about me and her and, at the same time, keeping Aria safe from her. I knew the kind of person Rachel was, and I knew what she could do, too.

If she finds out anything is going on between us, even her just finding out I have a step-sister whom we share the same house with, would make her think otherwise, mostly with the kind of beauty that Aria possesses.

I continued walking down the hospital hallway and suddenly bumped into a man. He stared at me for a few seconds as he seemed a bit suspicious, but staring at him.

I could immediately see Aria’s image on his face. I cleaned my eyes, thinking that I was seeing double or maybe something was wrong, for I could not imagine I would see Aria in his face, but that was not the reason.

The main reason was that he had a striking resemblance to Aria. I tried to stop the man and talk to him, but he seemed a bit nervous as he stared around and covered his face cap even more before walking away.

I continued my walk, but just as I got to the doorway, I felt a bit scared. What if you were someone searching for Aria? Why would he look exactly like him? This was so confusing. I turned around and ran after the man, but he was nowhere to be found. Who could he be?

At first, I decided to keep it as an illusion, but it was just too much, and I had to chase after the man.

I ran as fast as my leg could take me, checking each place, but then I stopped when I saw him standing right in front of Aria’s room, and his hand was shaking, with a scar on his hand.

Who was this man?

I walked slowly towards him and even before I could get close enough, he noticed and ran away.
