Elena's POV "Rise and shine beautiful! " Mum echoed as she opened the blind. The sun hit my face and I squinted a bit before dragging myself halfway up on my bed. Mum took her place beside me, caressing my scattered hair. "Good morning Elena, breakfast is served and Antonio wants us to eat together as a family, so get ready and come to the dining room," Mum said. "Okay mum, I will" Mum got up to leave, she turned to me on reaching the door. "Thank you for yesterday" I nodded affirmatively before she left. I dragged myself to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, took my bath and wore a black tank top and bump shorts. "Good morning Elena" Antonio greeted me as I pulled out the dining chair to sit. I looked around the dining room. It was more beautiful than I imagined. They were all seated already except Antonio's son. Mum filled my ears with stories about him throughout our flight. Let's just hope he is as hot as she described. "Good morning Antonio" "Hope you had a good night's rest?" I told Isabel not to disturb you if you were still asleep" "I'm good, thank you." I replied, he was trying too hard and maybe 5years old Elena would have been impressed. I sat down quietly as mum dished the food for Antonio. "What did I miss?" a guy asked from across the room. I turned to look immediately, a tall handsome guy, he had olive skin, dark eyes and tousled dark hair. He wore a jean and a white button up shirt revealing his upper chest. He walked towards us, pulled out his chair and sat down. "Hello dad, good morning Isabel and who is the little princess?" He let out a little laugh. "Good morning Lucas!" Mum greeted me with a smile. "Good morning son, you missed Isabel's arrival yesterday" "Dad please! I told you I had some things to do but you kept insisting I come" Lucas blurted, frowning a bit. I haven't taken my eyes off Lucas since he entered this room, his voice is charming and even his frown looks sexy to me. "This is Elena, your step sister. Elena, meet Lucas, your step brother" Antonio introduced. "Hello little princess!" Lucas greeted me with a smirk, stretching his hand out to me. Little princess? It made me feel like a 10 year old and this was the second time he was calling me that, today. I wanted to throw a fit but reconsidered. "Hello Lucas, nice to meet you!" I hesitated before taking his hand, he squeezed it softly and I felt his warmth on my skin. "Lucas! Do take good care of your sister Elena! " Anthonio instructed and Lucas nodded. "By the way, Isabel and I have something to announce to you guys" Antonio took mum's hand and kissed it. I stared impatiently at them. "We are getting married!" Antonio announced gleefully. Mum smiled at him before turning to me. "Seriously?" I blurted wearing a displeased look. I can't believe mum is so excited about another commitment. "We plan to do a court wedding and a church wedding. I want everyone to know I'm married to your mum" He explained to me ignoring Lucas who had been quiet the whole time, simply munching his food. "Seriously mum? f**k this s**t! " "Elena, watch your words!" mum yelled at me , I stormed out of the dining room before she could ask me to apologize. "Elena! Elena!" Mum called out to me but I ignored. "I'm so sorry about this" Mum apologized "Why is she so furious about us getting married. I thought she was okay with us together yesterday, what's the difference between living together and being legally married" Antonio sulked to Isabel and Lucas. "I'll go talk to her" mum stood up. "I don't think she'll listen to you, I'll go talk to her" Lucas suggested before leaving the table. "Elena, open the door!" Lucas called out after knocking with no reply. I walked sluggish to open the door. "What?" "Can I come in? " Lucas asked, I left the door and walked to my bed. "Why are you here? " "Why are you crying?" "I'm not crying" I defended "Of course you are, your eyes are all swollen, your face is red. Looks like the little princess is a cry baby!" he mocked. How could he be so insensitive, I can't believe he came in here to mock me. "Get the f**k out of here Lucas! I'm not a little princess nor a cry baby, stop treating me like some 10 year old" I blurted angrily, trying to hold back hot tears. I eventually broke into tears, sobbing loudly on my bed. "Your mum has her life to live and you can't stop her from getting married" "You don't understand, she about to get committed again," I uttered amidst tears "What do you mean again? " "Forget it, how are you calm about this? " "My dad is of age to know what he wants, why would I stop him. I only wish he sees me in that light as well and stops trying to control my life". "Mmmm… " I mumbled under my breath. "Really tasty food you abandoned there, we should get back to it" Lucas deflected. I wiped my tears and stood up, meeting his gaze. "Is that it? Is that all you came to say" I asked in a tone of disappointment. "What?" "Is this your attempt to persuade me to accept the marriage? "oh, you want me to wipe your tears, kiss your lips gently and wrap you in my arms" He started walking closer to me, making me move backwards. His physique was tempting, and for a minute I wished he did everything he just said to me. He kept on moving closer until we got to a dead end wall, he towered over me with his hand on the wall. He lowered his face close to mine. His lips were so close to mine, I forgot I was sad, I forgot he was my stepbrother, all I wanted was to lock tongues with him. "I actually came here to… " He whispered under his breath "To…? " I asked, yearning for his lips. Instead he held my hand and dragged me outside.
