IVANA 'S POV I was so mad that the stalker had started all of this, I wished that I could have him suffer for what he had done. I knew, nevertheless, I had to handle the current circumstances. I knew I had to say something, my supervisor was staring at me. "I promise it was caused by a customer, although this looks horrible, it wasn’t my fault . You can even review the CCTV”. I said maintaining a reassuring tone. "But I swear to do all it takes to right it. I can do anything else you need done or work extra shifts. Just please do not fire me”. I cried. "I'm sorry, but I have to let you go," my supervisor said, his voice icy and definitive. "This is completely unacceptable."My heart sank. I knew nothing about what I was going to do next after losing my job. My head whirling, I left the store. Feeling totally demoralized, I pulled myself home. Empty and numb, I sank onto my bed. I had never felt quite alone and lost.My mother cried out to me just as I was spiralling into hopelessness. "Honey, come right in here!" Her voice was bursting with enthusiasm. I told my mother I was depressed and had lost my job. "You don't need to feel sad, I have fantastic news." Curious about what she would possibly have to say, I turned to her. "What is it, mum??" I questioned.She said, a big smile on her face, "I got married today". And my new husband is really wealthy. We are going to be perfectly fine. Indeed, I know. But I thought that the paper signature would take many days or even longer, most likely." " No honey, it just took a few hours." She grinned. Though I was still in shock, I felt a little weird since mum had recently remarried and reality was suddenly upon me. "So what's next?" Wanting to be clear about the next action, I inquired. "Me, you and your uncle, we would go to his place in a few days. There is plenty room for everyone.I felt overwhelmed sitting there trying to sort through everything that was happening. Although I understood my mother had wed this man to assist us, it seemed like such a big change. I knew nowhere to start and had so many questions. Given her starting explanation, my mother must have seen the perplexity on my face. "I know this is a lot to absorb," she gripped my hand. "But I really believe that this is the greatest thing for us, I have given this some thought as well. My husband has lots of space for us and lives in a lovely house." My mom's eyes gleam with enthusiasm. "Your uncle is welcome to come with us, we are going to have our own rooms."Anxiety washed over me as I tried to picture what it would be like to live in this stranger's house. I knew my mum was doing this for us, I adored her. Still, the uncertainty simmering within me would not go away. The morning for us to relocation came, I had different feelings .The new house and the life we were about to begin worried me. But I also appreciated my mother for her sacrifice. I tried to be fine while she packed our belongings. But I started to feel terrified as we drove to our new house. Would our happiness be found here? Would we be in fit? Though I had no idea or answers to these queries, I prayed all would go according. The house was much more lovely than I had dreamed. It was a big, magnificent house with a garden bursting in flowers and a broad front lawn. I felt impressed when I stood on the doorstep. This would be our new house. The tall, silver-haired man who opened the door grinned broadly at us. "Welcome," he said , his voice loud. "I’m very delighted you are here. Please, come in. We entered the house, and the magnificence of the place caught me right away. The man showed us into the living area, and I settled on the couch. He sat in a chair across us, while my mum sat next to my uncle at the other end. We sat silently for a bit, then my mums husband cleared his throat. "I'm so glad you two are here," he said, his eyes glistening. "I hope we can all get to know one other and grow as a family, this is a significant adjustment. My name is Alpha Orson David, your stepdad." He said. Though I nodded, I felt a bit overwhelmed. I had nothing to say. "I'm Ivana , pleasant meeting you. I’m My uncle introduced himself and my stepdad yelled two names. “Come down here ,Mason and Jessie”. He yelled. I listened for footsteps and fixed my gaze on the glittering floor. " These are my twin sons, Mason and Jessie." When I gazed up the faces of my stepbrothers, I was quite startled at the disclosure. One was the previous stalker, the other was the good man who paid my debt at the convenience store. Though Jessie, the friendly man at the store, was more attractive than Mason, my stalker, it makes sense that they looked so similar. I felt like I was dreaming but then I knew that this is reality when my step dad introduced me to them as their stepsister. After being shown my room, I went inside and got rid of my clothes to change into something more cosy. I was naked facing the door, just putting on my bra that hugged my breast and my transparent panties when Mason stormed into my room without knocking for me to notice.
