To understand another person, you must swim in the same waters that drowned them.

-Chapter 33--Did not see that coming-

When they were all finally gone. I lay down on my soft mattress, relaxing every muscle in my body from all the tension of pretending to be happy and not nervous in front of them.

Damn... keeping up a fake facade is draining. My energy levels are low.

My eyelids slowly close for a moment, then reopen again, as I gaze up to the white ceiling.' Sigh... " I can't stop thinking about my stepbrothers.

What were they up to at night?

Where did they go?

Why do I fucking care?

I honestly don't know why my brain pesters me about it. It's none of my business. But noticing now, I really don't know much about them or their real father.

There is something extremely wrong with them, especially Kevin. His heated gaze never left me the whole morning. Damn, not even when he was leaving out the front door.

I spent my free time just trying to catch up on my sleep. But one thought doesn't leave my mind.

What did my dad tell them that they looked so pissed off? I understand Kevin being pissed because he always behaves that way, all the time.

But Leo was different. He's not like that. I haven't seen him that mad before in my whole stay here. He was more pissed off than this morning.

I didn't dwell too much on it. It's not my problem... or maybe it is if... They are playing out whatever sick game they involve me into without me noticing.

My main issue is figuring out how to win these mind games they're playing on me.

With that thought in mind, I doze off to sleep.

✶⊶⊷⊶⊷❍⊶⊷⊶⊷✶

A loud bang is heard downstairs, startling me up from my slumber.

I sit up slowly, just trying to listen to what is happening downstairs.

The darkness of the room was putting me on edge. I turned on the lamp next to my bed as I gradually got off the bed. The cold sensation of the floor on my warm feet made me shiver.

How long was I asleep for? Faint noises from downstairs made my heart beat uncontrollably fast.

My breath hitches when my subconscious makes her presence known again and lets out, "It could be a thief that got inside the house."

Oh, God... What am I going to do now? I don't have a smartphone yet. And the house phone is downstairs.

The first thing I lock is my bedroom door.

I quickly made my way to the closet and locked myself inside. Jumping out of the window was not a great option. I'll break my legs if I land the wrong way on the ground.

Someone will eventually come back home and call 911 when they see the front entrance wide open.

My breath hitches when I hear someone struggling to open my bedroom door.

The noise of the door handle being messed with stopped rattling loudly.

Then the stillness of the dark makes me tear up.

Then a door creaks open, and my heart stops.

Oh sh*t, I forgot to lock Kevin's bedroom door. Heavy footsteps echo around my dark bedroom.

My two hands cover my mouth tightly, trying not to let my heavy breathing be heard by whoever is out there.

Tears started sliding down my face, as my body trembled out of control. Why do these things happen to me?

My heart stops when the footsteps stop in front of the closet.

Please go away, stranger. Steal whatever you want, but leave me the heck alone.

I close my eyes shut, as my body trembles uncontrollably, not allowing me to stay still.

When I hear the closet door creek open, my heart stops and my breath gets stuck in my throat.

"What are you doing inside here? "Little Angel," A deep, soft voice said. It sounded so familiar. Opening my eyes, they immediately landed on a pair of dark brown ones.

"Leo...You're here. "My words come out a little unstable and breathy.

The first thing I do is get out of the small closet and go wrap my arm around his torso. He wraps his strong arms around me.

My body relaxes against his. Shit… and here I thought it was an intruder.

Then the smell of alcohol invaded my nose. It was so strong that it burned my nostrils. I try pushing Leo away from me. But he wouldn't budge at all.

He looked down on me with these dark eyes. It didn't have that softness to it that I'm always used to seeing in them. Instead, it was cold and distant, scaring me more than it should.

"Let go of me, Leo." But he doesn't listen.

Instead, he picks me up in one swift movement and carries me to the bed. My heart rate picked up in speed when he threw me on the mattress.

I quickly try to get off the bed, but he hovers over me, spreading my legs, closing me in, holding my wrist on either side of my head tightly as he puts his body weight on me—to keep me in place.

My breath hitched when our eyes locked in place. His stare was intoxicating and deadly, searching deep down into my soul for something.

"Please stop. "He doesn't listen to me at all, instead he starts leaving butterfly kisses on my neck. His soft lip was a contrast to his actions, right now.

"Leo, stop... please! "I started thrashing myself around in his stronghold, but nothing helped him stop. How could I fight such a big guy? It was impossible.

If he's here, then Kevin must be here, too.

"Kevin. Kev-Kevin help me, please!!! Anyone out there, please help! " Tears keep streaming down my face, unable to keep my calm composure and my crazy emotions in check.

"You have been avoiding me, my little angel," he says right next to my right ear in a low, calm voice, making me shiver. His hot breath caressed my neck, making my nerves tingle.

"Why? Why have you been avoiding me, all freaking morning? " He sounded more aggressive by the minute. I'm scared he'll hurt me.

He sounded like a demon, ready to lash out on me. He was drunk out of his mind. Intoxicated people are like drug addicts; they perceive everything differently from a sober person.

My heart sinks when I feel his hot tongue on my neck sliding up my skin slowly. My nerves go all haywire and jumpy when I feel him put more of his weight on me.

"Kevin!" My voice was louder than before. If I don't get out of here, he'll hurt me. He's so damn drunk that everything he does is right for him.

Drunk people are evil. People turn into the worst version of themselves when they are intoxicated.

"Stop calling that f*cking bastard, damn it!" He gazes at me. The soft yellow glow from the lamp made his eyes appear darker than usual.

He goes back to doing what he was doing. As he starts grinding on me. I could feel his length growing.

A moan hesitantly leaves my lips when the fabric of his dark jeans begins to rub up against my vulnerable part. I was starting to regret not sleeping in shorts.

The door unlocks and creaks open. I land my hazy gaze on the door. And there was the devil himself with a smile plastered on his face, from ear to ear. Kevin just stood there with a phone in his hands videotaping this.

"Kevin, please! "Instead of coming out as a plea for help, it comes out as a breathy moan instead.

Kevin's evil smile twitched slightly when he heard it. But he kept videotaping everything, not helping me at all.

Leo runs his free, warm, large hand down my body, feeling me up.

"Please…." Yet, Leo didn't listen, instead, his large warm hand was now on my breast underneath the big white shirt. Gripping my bare breast as my teary eyes landed on Kevin, again.

Kevin was now emotionless. There was no humor displayed on his face as his eyes were on my breast, where Leo had his hand.

"Please..."

"Please, Leo... I'm sorry." When those last two words come out of my mouth. He finally let me go, and stepped back. Leaving me there on the mattress catching my breath. Even when my legs closed, I could still feel the length of his manhood that we're pressed in between my legs a few seconds ago.

I can't believe those words worked.

I quickly move to the headboard of the bed to create a large space between all three of us. My teary gaze didn't stray away from them for even a second.

Fuck… I'm completely done. I would rather face a theft than the two devils that are staring at me with lust-filled eyes ready to devour me if they see a chance too.
