My Ruthless Stepbrother (Completed)

CHAPTER 12

TWELVE: "Daggers in my heart!" ✍️

After breaking my heart, Zack walked out. He went out of the veranda and walked to the shore.

"Zack! Rocio Zackarius!"

On the other side, I could not feel anything other than absolute pain. The whole idea of him brutally stating in front of his family that he would never like it if I became his sister was so distressing to me that I had to stop thinking about it.

This anguish was so intense that I thought I could burst! As a consequence of this, the next thing I did was chase after him.

"Irryn, where are you going? Irryn!" Mom called me, but I continued running after my ruthless stepbrother.

"Ryn!" Ryle also called me.

Nobody was able to stop me! I was so determined to talk and confront Zack!

"Wait, Zack! Wait!"

I didn't care anymore if my tears were rolling down my cheeks and if he could see them!

And there, he continued walking not even turning his back to look at me like he was pretending to be deaf.

I increased my speed in walking so that I could reach him, and the moment I did, I held his arm which made him finally turn to me.

"What seriously is your problem with me, huh? If you can accept my mom becoming a part of your family, then why can't you accept me to be your sister, huh Zack?! Why?!"

He gave me a full-body, smirk-adorned, and auratically equally dark stare as he did so.

"The thought of you becoming my sister... makes me sick, and it's fr*aking disgusting!"

I squinted my eyes shut in torment. His words were daggers in my heart!

He turned his back and continued walking.

I was terribly hurt that he couldn't accept me!

"No matter what you do or what you say, you can't still deny the fact that we are going to become siblings right after our parents tie the knot! Whether you like it or not, I am still going to be your sister, and I am going to treat you like my real brother like how I treat both Ryle and Rhian!"

And that caused him to pause and return his gaze to me. He scanned at me, and as he did so, I felt my tears grow cold. My pulse quickened.

"Right. Our parents are going to tie the knot soon. I won't be forcing you to get away from me but don't expect me to treat you like a sister because I will treat you in any way you won't like. Get ready because you may loathe me after making you taste my kind of hell, young lady..."

Days had passed by. The wedding finally came, and it was held at Lamont Beach Resort. It was a semi-grand and yet simple matrimony. A Beach wedding was the theme and families and some relatives were there to celebrate with us.

"Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Alanson Ciar Lamont!"

We returned to Koronadal a week after that wedding, but we were carried to Uncle Alanson's mansion in Jawara Subdivision instead so, we were unable to visit our old home in Sta. Cruz.

"Sis Irryn! Big sis, let's go!" my sister Rhian knocked at my door's room one morning.

Although I never requested for one, uncle Alanson provided me my own room out of a genuine intention to make me feel at home. Every member of the family, including Rhian, has their own rooms, he stated.

Anyway, this room used to be Ryle's in his school days. He gave it to me because he is now in Gensan running their business there. He asked that the maids to clean it and relocate his belongings to another room on the ground floor so I could use this one as my own.
