Step-Brother (Domino Series #1)

Prologue

They say that we need to study hard to reach our dream job. However, I see myself as someone who lives life to the fullest. As an only child from a wealthy family, I am able to do pretty much everything I want.

My name is Cedric Alejandro, and one could say that my life is picture-perfect. Coming from a wealthy family, residing in a grand mansion, being the heir to a company, owning my car, possessing an average intellect, and having a strikingly handsome appearance with a strong jawline, pale skin, thick eyebrows, captivating eyes, and thin, kissable lips. I must admit, I have a deep affection for myself.

However, they say that nothing is permanent. When I was 16, my world changed drastically as my mother passed away on the same day as my graduation. In an instant, everything turned upside down, and my seemingly perfect life shattered. The devastating loss left my father inconsolable, and our communication ceased. I noticed people looking at me with pity, a feeling I detested. Despite the challenges, I refuse to be seen as weak. I believe that if my mother were here, she would encourage me to overcome this obstacle. Unfortunately, she is no longer with us.

But my belief that things would go back to normal was shattered! Della Angeles intruded into our lives, especially mine, attempting to fill my mother's shoes - a role I vehemently despise. No one, absolutely no one, can ever fill the void left by my mother. Despite her insistent prodding for me to move on from my mother's passing, I was consumed by fury. And to my disbelief, my father sided with that woman! How could he brush aside everything so easily?

Then my life could not be more difficult when this Della Angeles Introduced me to his son.
