My Stepbrother-Too Hot To Handle

Writer’s POV

Three weeks into preparation for college, with deep sadness, and futile efforts, Dabby flew away from New Orleans for hours to her new school without her mother’s knowledge, who had planned that they would go the day after. Medical school, which had been her long-time dream, was probably the only thing that would make her happy.

Joanna threw tantrums and called out Dabby so sadly for letting her out of the most important phase of her life, but she soon realized that her daughter wasn’t the same person who would always succumb to emotional manipulations and entertain pity parties. She was now different.

The first week after arriving at college and getting a new roommate, she wrote a letter through her school mail and sent it to the Anderson family house.

It was more hard on Damien who had not been able to reach Dabby ever since she left, and it was so hard for him to keep up with the start-up competition that he had joined a few days to Prom.

Staying with his grandfather for a few days meant freedom, but he had been too sucked up in his gloom to focus well. Worst of all, Dabby had no social media account that he could trace her to!

Things had gotten well at the cafe with Aunt Adele and even the threats from Spencer didn’t work on her, when he found out that his son was gone.

He told her to spill Damien’s whereabouts or he would get her jailed as an ally and a stalker, but having no idea of where Damien actually went to gave her an upper hand. When the worst came to the worst, she filed a restraining order.

Dabby spent months writing letters all the way back to her old town, while trying her best to settle into school and being the best version of herself to everyone she met.

With her first semester gone, she ranked the second best in her department which gained her more popularity. She gained as much love and hate from those that were a competition to her.

Damien left his grandfather’s place to leave alone even if the old man objected to leaving him on his own, to start a new life in New York and a start-up company by himself. His grandfather insisted on helping him with whatever he wanted to do, and he formed his first team within a few months of leaving.

Dabby got her cornea transplant surgery done which was sponsored by an optometric center partnership program with her school medical team, while Joanna decided to pursue her dreams of owning a fashion brand in New Orleans, to get over the feeling of guilt towards her daughter after realizing the havoc she always wrecked.

The thriving medical student didn’t stop missing her lover even after a year had passed, and a surprise came to her door on the last day of her second-year exams.

She went to a launching event that she was invited to by a friend and went as his date, only to see someone who looked at her the same man that she had been yearning for all her life.

His face that always stood out was not hard to miss, and even his posture could never be a problem for her to identify among multitudes. His three-piece suit fitted so well on his perfectly carved body, and he looked the better version of the guy that she spent her teenage years loving.

Bliss filled her heart so much that happiness swept her off her feet, because she had always thought that the last day of prom was how their love story would end, because there had seemed to be no hope for so long. Happiness was an understatement of what she felt at that particular moment.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

However, he was standing with another beautiful female and the relationship between them seemed so close. He even kissed her on the cheeks, and they seemed to share a very lovely moment where they stood.

It made her entire system disorientate instantly, that she could not hear anything from the host into the beginning of the event. She was numb and her sight failed her as she excused her way out of the hall. Finding her way back home was the hardest.

‘Why did she have to trust that things had not changed between them?’

The next day after a long night of endless tears, regrets, raging, headaches, and processing into acceptance, Dabby got ready to leave the school for a vacation break to her Mum’s, who had invited her for her first-year brand anniversary party.

A call from a friend that someone wanted to see her outside, brought her before the sight of the man she had seen the previous day. She was so shocked to see him standing in front of her, but the scenes of the previous day wouldn’t let her move her feet from where she stood with tears in her eyes.

Damien didn’t wait, and went to hold her in a tight embrace. He had no idea while she began sobbing as he hugged her so tightly, with the crazy anxiety that his heart had held him since the previous day when he found out, that she was in the same town that he was in.

Dabby’s face buried his cheeks for so long as she continued to cry, and finally raised her face after a while when he touched her cheek softly. She raised her face next to look at his face with her eyes looking into hers, and her tongue found no words to say to him or where she would even start. She had so much to say.

“Is this Dabby?” The voice came so softly from behind Damien, and it made Dabby turn her eyes to look at the person who was talking. Her heart dropped and she let out the only word that came to mind.

“You brought her here again?” Dabby swallowed hard with a heart that was aching heavily with burden, as her eyes came in contact with the person who had a bright smile on her face and was standing beside Damien.

Her mind called her back to recall. ‘The same lady that she had seen him with the previous day.’
