My Revenge Is Making You My Stepson

Chapter 3

Marcel’S POV

I could see the agony on her face even after the red dress had caught everyone’s attention, my eyes were glued to her expression, I knew that she was not okay.

I attended to the guests in front of me, I just couldn’t focus as my eyes glanced to her direction every now and then. I walked to her, Surprising her. I know she was quite lost because of Jaxson, her heart was already shattered.

“Would you like to dance?” I asked trying to lift her mood.

Davina is a sweet girl and I knew that even from the beginning, when we started dancing, memories of when she was introduced to me came flooding, she was 19 back then.

I remember how difficult it was for her to warm up to me, immediately she felt that I was more of a father, she became really close to me, it was quite Surprising for Jaxson to do such to her and with her friend, I’m sure it was so disheartening.

Now I stared into her eyes while she became somewhat confused because she didn’t know how to dance, it made me smile, Davina had always considered me as her father, I’ll make sure I dispel such thoughts from her mind, I’ve always watched Jaxson play with her heart and I’ve always played a role of a good father for him by not exposing him to her.

Her hands were peculiarly soft, I took my hand to her waist having a good grip of her as she was unstable in those red shoes, I couldn’t help but smile while she struggled with the dance position.

I held her hand and pulled her closer to me, assuring her that she would be fine in my hands.

I could see her attempts to move away from me, regardless, I held her close and eventually when the music stopped, she excused herself, I felt somewhat guilty because if I had her to myself, Jaxson wouldn’t have been able to get so much damage done to her heart.

I noticed her leaving the building but I haven’t even spoken to her well yet, I rushed after her, leaving the guests to the second in command.

“Davina” I called out, looking at her turn, her blond hair standing out and the curls turning to the other side of her back and face.

Offering her a lift, I wanted to have an alone time with her but she seemed to try to avoid me completely but my persistence changed that.

She finally agreed while I drove her home and had the time to understand the young girl’s plight, she had never so open to me, I have a feeling that she became too emotional because of the breakup.

I slowly noticed her and glanced in her direction, once in a while as I drove, I noticed she loved looking outside the window, the scenery was quite beautiful so I wouldn’t blame her, we had a little conversation, I could see her eyes get filled with tears, I wanted to wipe them off so desperately, I gave her some space to let her tears flow.

We finally got to her apartment building, I didn’t notice her feet was bare and immediately she stepped out, the sores in her feet began to burn and hurt, I wasn’t ready to put up with her stubbornness.

I felt my body move at impulse as I picked her up, I only thought of letting her rest and immediately, her hands were over her mouth, trying to cover her shock, I took her to the apartment, letting her down to bring out her keys to open the door.

I could see her still struggling even after suggesting that she should be sitting and resting because she wouldn’t take my advice, I did it again, this time, she became more flustered, I took her to her room while I went to get some first aid materials from my car.

I know fully well that I’m never to have thoughts and feelings towards a girl who considered me her father but I just couldn’t help it, I want to care for her and be the one she comes home to every time, I thought to myself as I grabbed the kit and came to her room, seeing her lay down, I tried applying some ointment which she tried to avoid, I made sure she got some ointment and left her to rest.

I decided to leave immediately after as I got a call from the office, with the intent to send off the guests.

I decided in my heart that I’ll make sure that from now, she forgets Jaxson and lives her life to the fullest.

I woke up early to follow my routine, I could barely wait to see her face when she finds out what I had planned out for the day. I quickly took my keys “Sir, would you like me to drive today” my assistant said from behind while I got in “It’s fine, I’ll be driving today, I need to be somewhere” I said as I got into the car and started to drive, I dialed Davina, telling her to get ready for today.

I really wanted it to be a Surprise and intended to see her naive smile, I picked her up and took her to the first destination, the museum, she felt so ecstatic telling me what she loved, I stood there admiring her, her outfit seemed so childish but that was the reason I loved her.

The next stop was one of the biggest book stores, I saw her face light up, I enjoyed seeing her genuinely happy and then we went to a restaurant to have some food.

We had seen the menu, she hesitantly took the menu because it was all too expensive, knowing Davina, I decided to order the meal, she started eating but I could notice something was off, she stopped eating and dashed outside, I couldn’t help but think she still had feelings for Jaxson.

My lips seemed to move however they wanted because I didn’t know when I told her that I loved her when she tried to push me away with the speech of being her father, I didn’t want to be considered as that anymore but as her only love, I really don’t want her to be forced into anything and I would wait for her.

As her eyes gazed into mine and soon my hand was on her face and my lips on hers. I could tell that I lied to myself, I couldn’t wait, I wanted her so bad, I would do anything, she tried to stop her emotions from bursting but I would never let that happen, I pulled her even closer, I wanted her to be mine and mine alone.

Davina’S POV

I could feel the heat even though we were outside and the wind was flowing all around us, his lips tasted sweet and his soft lips brushing mine felt like I was already in heaven.

I pulled myself back trying to stop my heart from beating so fast, I looked at his eyes and I could feel that his senses tingled like mine.

I wanted to walk away so fast, I felt embarrassed immediately after recollecting my thoughts “What have I done?” I asked myself.

“Where are you going to Davina?” He said, I didn’t even want to look back, he quickly held my hand “I know what you think, that it’s not right but if this is fate then let it be” he said gazing into my eyes.

“Come on, I’ll drive you home” he said dragging me to where the car was parked, I felt too awkward to speak or react.

He drove so smoothly, I could hardly feel it, there was an awkward silence and I felt my eyes become heavy until I saw nothing but pitch black.

I woke up in the car with an empty driver’s seat, I sat upright and I saw Lucas bringing in some bags of snacks and fast food, I adjusted myself until he got into the car, dropping them at the back seat with the rest of the things we got.

“You’re awake, we’re close now” he said trying to break off the silence “Yeah” I answered in an attempt to avoid any other questions.

He dropped me off at the building “I really had a wonderful time, Marcel, thank you, I’m also sorry, I ruined the whole.. trip” I said looking at him fold his hands while leaning on the car.

“You didn’t ruin anything, I promise, if not anything, this is the best fun I’ve had in years and I thank you for your preferences” he said smiling at me, now showing his wonderful canines.

“I should get going, I have a shift tomorrow” I said looking at him while I slowly walked into the building.

“Well are you free this weekend?” I heard him ask, “Well I was thinking that we could talk about your work and more things, there’ll be no awkward situations, I promise” he said looking at me.

“Yeah, my schedule’s open” I said pushing my hair backwards, “See you later then, good night” I continued as I walked in, I could feel his gaze watch me go in even after saying our goodbyes, it was an awkward night but it was also fantastic, I thought to myself.

I quickly went to have a refreshing bath and have the takeouts while I read some books we got at the bookstore. I washed up and got my pink pajamas and got ready for the young night.

The alarm rung loudly in my ears, I got up energized enough hitting it off the table, making it fall enough to get broken, I gasped “oh no, not again” I took my things and got ready for the day and thought of my plans while I had my bath.

I started heading to work, I quickly took my phone for a quick stride through my social apps, ever since the breakup, I had forsaken the internet, I swiped to see activities going on and something caught my eye.

The school group had put up a post announcing the marriage of Malina Burns and Jaxson Fredrick, I became overwhelmed with anger, triggering my memories.

“I’m not ready for marriage, Davina, besides we’re still young, why don’t we still prepare” Jaxson said in an attempt to calm me down “But babe, we’ve been dating for three years now, don’t you think we’re ready?”

“Babe, you just have to understand that I’m not ready yet” he said holding my hand.

I fell for his tricks, he wasn’t ready my foot “I can’t believe I was so blind to your shortcomings, Jaxson” I muttered to myself as I started working.

I have finally decided to start living for myself alone, I took my work more seriously, I want to become a greater version of myself.

The day seemed to go by quickly as I was so embedded in my work, I suddenly got a text, it was from Marcel, he was the only one that texts me, especially after the breakup.

‘I’m at the parking lot it wrote, I looked outside as my shift was over to see him wave, I smiled a little, here was someone making an effort, it felt wrong to be with him but I didn’t care, I’ll go with the flow.

I walked to him in my comfy clothes, my hair in a messy bun because I didn’t really take my appearance as serious. He only smiled and looked at me, patting my head “You’re doing great” his words really melted a part of me “Thank you, I really needed that” I said smiling shyly.

He opened the car door, letting me in “So how was work?” He asked, I really didn’t want to bore him “Nothing much, it’s just a boring routine” I said removing my little bag and wearing the seat belt.

“What about you? I never knew you could get off work this early” I said looking at him start the car “Well I don’t, I wanted to make taking you home a priority, if you don’t see me, I’ll send a driver” he said driving calmly “There’ll be no need for that, I can walk and get a cab or even the bus” I said trying to sound assuring.

“Were you always this stubborn? Even if you were, how come I never saw it?” He asked staring at me, I burst into laughter “I’m not, really, you’re just too persistent” I said in laughter.

We soon got to my house.

“Well I’ve planned something for us this weekend, your schedule’s still open right?” He asked “Yeah” I answered shortly “Well then pack your bags for the weekend” he said then went to his car and zoomed off.

The morning felt calm and my heart was elated, I would be going on a getaway, I would have time to clear my head.

I took a little bag downstairs as I locked the door, he waited in but this time, there was someone driving us

“Good morning, so where we headed” I asked in a rather ecstatic voice “Italy, we’re headed for Italy” he did making me gasp “huh, that’s just” I was speechless “Yeah, no need to panic, it’ll be in my private Jet” he said smiling at me.

I could feel my jaw drop “I’ve never flown not even once, I’m a little scared” he looked at me “Well then, there’s a first time for everything” he said calmly.

We were dropped off at the airport, my bags were carried in and we boarded the plane, it felt so cozy, I felt at peace.

Few ours later we got to Italy and drove to his mansion jeez it was breathtaking. I have never been privileged to see beautiful places . The interior designs were top notch but wait oh my God how do I spend days alone with Marcel .
