My Revenge Is Making You My Stepson

Chapter 1

to stop my tears, “You’re the one he’s cheating on me with” I said feeling my eyes drip with tears.

I never thought that in a thousand years that Malina would betray me, she was like the sister I never had, I stormed out of the room. I could hear footsteps behind me, it was Jaxson

“I’m sorry it had to end this way, I wanted to tell you that I loved Malina ” he said as he got me to stop

“That’s all you have to say? Jaxson, after everything we’ve been through together, you went ahead to sleep with my friend!!” I said, my mouth feeling heavy.

I walked even faster as I got outside the hotel, I waved down a cab almost immediately and began to sob when I sat inside.

The driver seemed to ignore me, I couldn’t blame him, it was better to mind one’s business.When I got to my house,I cleaned my eyes and got into my apartment building, I could barely get my door open because I was so weak.

The key finally found its way to the key hole, I opened the door, and slammed it behind me, my tears didn’t want to end.

Flashes of memories of Jaxson came through my mind while I got into the bathroom as the cold drops of water touched my face, I felt even weaker, I fell to the ground as my legs couldn’t bear any more of my weight.

I got out of the shower not knowing what to do next because the person I would tell everything to was the same person who caused my tears. Soon I got a call from work “Please you have an extra shift tomorrow” the voice said immediately in a haste to get the message to me across the phone “I understand sir” I said in a calm voice, my heart already sank as I sat on the couch hoping that it was all a dream.

[Next morning]

I woke up feeling worse than before, the alarm clock had not rang and so I woke up late, I picked up my dress and dashed into the bathroom, I had decided to handle this calmly, never to make a rash decision.

I got to work a little late, I strapped in my apron and was giving two plates to serve to a couple, I immediately stopped when I saw the people I was sent to serve, it was Malina and Jaxson. It was obvious that they both intentionally wanted me to see their love and die of jealousy. I walked out of the restaurant through the back door, my eyes became filled with tears.

The whole day was longer than I had expected, the man I gave my love and heart to had decided to destroy my willpower after I’ve come this far living for myself.

I went home with a heavy heart as I didn’t even had the willpower to work. I took off my shoes and went into the kitchen, I grabbed the knife on the counter and stared at my wrist “If I just end it, I’ll be better in hell, I have no one to mourn me so I’ll go peacefully” I said feeling disheartened and then I heard my phone ring, I decided to pick it up since it would be the last phone call I pick.

“Davina, Davina, you there?” The calm voice had said “Sir, I’m here” I said with a firm voice “Are you okay? Your voice doesn’t sound okay” he said making my nerves become weaker “I’m okay, sir” I said trying to stop my tears “No everything’s not fine, I’ve told you to call me Marcel, remember ,but you call me sir .” he said in a state of confusion.

I could feel my tears overwhelming my eyes “Yes Marcel, I’m fine” I said trying to wave it off “How have you been faring” I said trying to act tough “You’ve never called me before , you okay, my dear” he said making my tears flow.

“Yeah, I’m good, is there anything I can do for you, sir?” I said finding any reason to live again “Well, I wanted to invite you and Jaxson, my company just opened up a new branch and I decided to throw a little party but I tried calling Jaxson he’s not picking up” he said cluelessly.

“Well I’ll be there, I’m not sure about Jaxson though, please I’d like to get some rest” I said feeling tired and relieved and that I could do something before I die, I hung up the phone almost immediately, then it crossed my mind, a plan, a plan to destroy Jaxson and his new found love or at least to make him regret.

I hurriedly went into my closet to find a dress suitable for the occasion, my eyes finally came across a beautiful slit dress, I picked up the dress and removed it from the hanger, I hardly wore such dresses because I never saw a reason to look too flashy, I could remember getting it for myself and never thought I’d have to use it.

The maroon sleeveless dress looked ravishing as I wore it the next day, I decided to do my make-up and put my hair in curls to cover my bare back and shoulders, I felt a little uncomfortable but I wanted this to work.

I took my leather jacket, wearing it over my red dress, I went out to wave down a cab, my plan was to attend the party by all means.

The company was quite exquisite, I got in with only my name “We were instructed to allow Davina Jacobs in as it was a late minute entry” the young woman said as I told her my name.

I was led to the inner part and the grandeur of the place got me ecstatic. I quickly looked sideways to see the man of the hour, Mr Fredrick Marcel, my target.

My eyes were glued to Marcel as I watched him attend to the guests, I began to shiver, immediately he looked at me, I could feel my heart pound, I didn’t feel comfortable doing this but for me, this was my last chance.

I smiled shyly as he began to dismiss the guests and walked up to me, I could only look calmly at him “My dear, how are you?” he asked looking down at me “I’m doing okay sir” I said, my voice almost shaky, “I heard about what happened” he said catching me off guard “Yeah…Uhm, did Jaxson tell you?” I didn’t even notice when that question left my lips “Yeah, I’m sure he told you” I said feeling embarrassed.

He only looked at me, pulled my face a little higher, I could see his dark brown eyes watch me “It’s fine, he told me he wanted to get married but I was Surprised about the woman he told me about, what’s her name? Oh..yeah Malina ” he said making my eyes feel heavy.

I could notice his eyes watch mine, I tried to recollect my thoughts “I’ll be right back, okay, I’ll attend to the guests quickly” his voice was even calmer than before.

My mind had begun to waver “I can’t do this, I won’t be able to do it” I muttered to myself, taking my purse, I started walking away when I felt someone grab my hand, I looked at the hand and then at him, it was Marcel.

“I told you I’d be back, please don’t go” his deep voice calmly commanded my thoughts and my response “Uhm.. I thought I’d be distracting” I said feeling nervous.

“I don’t mind being distracted” he said walking with me, my hand in his, “Would you like to dance?” He said, Surprising me “Well, I’m not much of a dancer” I said still feeling shy and shocked simultaneously.

I felt in my heart that he was only doing this to lighten my mood because he considered me his daughter still, what was I thinking trying to make the man I have called father for years fall in love with me, my thoughts went on as he held my hand “Don’t worry, it’s much more easier than you think” he said, I smiled even more nervously.

His hand went to my lower back and he took time adjusting my hand to his as others danced, I clutched onto his shoulder as we started dancing. I could feel his hand on my bare skin when we danced, the sensation it gave was beautiful but I suddenly felt uncomfortable.
