Affair with my Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 5 - His House Rules

A week has passed since we gathered for dinner. Gladly, I never bumped into Sean again. He always goes home late at night. Aside from his office work, he's also busy with his social life. I have proven how big of a playboy he is. One night, I went home late, and I bumped into his girl who was on her way out of that mansion. He can't even keep a girl for a day, he just needs them at night to warm him in bed.

Tonight, I am hesitant to go home because our parents have already took the plane to Europe. I don't feel safe anymore in that house. It's actually my fault. Why did I allow such situation occur? I could have just told my mom that I will stay in my friend's unit.

"Why would you try to escape from him? He's aware that you have a fiance in US and he is your stepbrother." Daniela asked after I sipped from my coffee. It's my third cup that night.

"I have a solution for your problem, Chunsa." Phoebe smiled from ear to ear. She looked like she's going to give a one-sided deal.

"What?"

"Introduce us to him. After meeting me, for sure, he will not bother you anymore." I glared at her.

We stayed in the coffee shop for another hour. Jade forced me to stay in her house just so we can already go home, but I declined to that offer. Sean will think I'm trying to avoid him. I hate that I'm so affected with what he's thinking.

"What? So you're really going home to Sean Montenegro?" That question sounded wrong in my ears. I'm not coming home to that person but to the infrastructure itself.

"He will crush me more if he finds out that I don't go home tonight. It's been peaceful between us, and I want to keep that." They looked at each other as if judging me. I already know what their look means.

"Does Warren know about this?" My heart raced when I heard his name.

"Of course!" I answered. My pitch was high for unknown reason. I walked to my car then I waved goodbye to them. Before I changed my mind, I already got in to the driver's seat. The frustrating expression in their face sent me goodbye. It's almost 12 midnight. I hope Sean is already asleep when I get home.

20 minutes drive felt like 2 minutes. I composed myself before leaving my car in the driveway. One of the guards asked for my key, so he can parked it to the garage. The lights in the pathway guided me up to the main entrance. I pushed the door and I took my first step. When I lifted my head, I saw Sean sitting pretty in the guest lounge.

I felt grounded when our eyes locked. He gave a quick glance to his wristwatch before standing. I find it hard to breath when I smelled his body gel.

"You went home too early, Chunsa." He said sarcastically. The movement of his adam's apple captivated me. I kept looking at that until his snapped in front of my eyes.

"Where have you been?" That's when my forehead furrowed.

"And what right do you have to question me?" His sexy grin is showing again. I swear, if I put some effort in pissing him off, he will surely die from it.

"As the owner of this house, I think I got some right. Are you coming from work or your affair?" I felt violated with the way he scanned me.

"D-do you think I'm that kind of woman?" My voice cracked. I should not be affected with how he thinks of me.

"I think that's how every woman in the world is. Regardless of how long you have been together, once you feel something special for another man, you will give up on your fiance. That's why distance and time are dangerous factors in a relationship." He walked towards me, but I remained standing in front of the door.

He snatched the door knob and shut it. The loud noise made me trembled inside, but I acted unmoved by that.

"Your concept of love is corrupted, Sean. I will not try to internalize your interpretation of that thing because you're a coward." The right corner of his lips tilted as if he was offended.

When he took another step, I found myself cornered between him and the door. I had to look up just to keep our eye contact.

"Kindly repeat that." Every word was dangerous, but I cannot back down now.

"After getting hurt once, you gave up on love. What's worse is that you give back the pain hundred of times to other women. Do you think you're cool having all those women sate you in bed? You're pitiful." His eyes were burning in anger as if fire would escape it anytime. I love how perfect he is when his jaw moves. Damn. I could stare in this perfection all day.

"Pitiful? I am a billionaire, one of the most successful bachelors and role model in my career. I have appeared in local and international magazines and applauded for being among the young tycoons of this land. I got everything I needed. I can get everything I want, Chunsa. Tell me what exactly is pitiful about me." His confidence while telling all those achievements made him more enticing. I shook my head to wake myself from that fantasy. I have a fiance, and this thoughts will put me in disadvantage if I don't put an end to this.

"Fine! You are so conceited that even I tell what's wrong with you, you won't recognize it. While our parents are away, can we live in peace in your house?" I gulped several times when his hands leaned on the door totally trapping me. Damn. Did I say something wrong?

"Just because our concept of love does not match you're saying I am pitiful. Why don't you teach me step by step? How do people fall in love again, Chunsa?" His hot breath touched my cheeks, and I could not almost breath.

"Move away," I said in a warning tone. He moved closer to the point that the tip of his nose touched my forehead.

"No. I want to fall in love again. This time, I won't let go. Even I get shot in the heart or head or anywhere in my body. So please teach me how." I closed my eyes before pushing him away. I don't know why there's an abrupt rush in my system. I felt like the fire in his eyes awhile ago is now consuming me inside.

I can't speak when his hot lips touched the corner of my lips. I bet he felt the shaking of my knees that's why he smiled. I pushed him away again.

"Stop with your game, Montenegro!" I shouted when he took several steps backward with the impact of my pushing. I was catching my breath when we didn't even kiss. He was only teasing me. He laughed when our eyes met again.

"I haven't done anything yet. Sorry. I was just shock when you called me pitiful." I was about to pass by at him when he held my wrist to stop me. Damn him. I just want to go away from him. Why aren't there any housemaids in the ground floor now?

"Are you already pissed? I'm just about to discuss my house rules, so stay a little bit more." I withdrew my hand using all my force. He should know by my glare that I am not happy with whtever trick he's trying to pull now.

He put his hands up as if he was surrendering, but his smile seemed to say otherwise.

"Alright. I won't touch you... tonight. I just want to.." I didn't let him finish.

"Let's sit down if you're going to spill shits, I mean your house rules." I walked towards the guest lounge to sit. I put my bag beside me and crossed my legs. I am tired from all the works in the office today, but I have to deal with my stepbrother at home.

He sat on the sofa in front of me and extended his leg to the center table.

"First and foremost, no bringing of men here." I chuckled. Even I wanted to bring my man here, he's so far from me. Everything he's going to say seemed to be in his head. He doesn't have a list, so I think he's just pretending to have house rules. But let me hear him out.

"Do you think that's funny? I instructed the guards to shoot any guy apart from security personnel, house staffs, me and of course dad. If you're planning to bring friends, you have to let me know first or he'll never come out alive in this house." He must be kidding. I rolled my eyes and sit back.

"Second, you have to be home on or before 11 PM. I don't care about your schedule as model or executive vice president of your company. If you don't want to be conflicted with me, go home before your curfew."

"Excuse me, Sean. I am already 22, and acting as one of the highest officer in my company. Aside from that, I usually have photoshoots and runway schedules in different parts of the country. Instead of giving me that curfew, why don't you just kick me out? I can use that reason to go to my friend's place." He did not show any reaction.

"Don't test my patient in that thing. Third, wear something decent when you are in and out of the house. I am not used to move in this house with a woman around. Fourth, I particularly can't tolerate a filthy environment, so be neat everywhere in this house."

"I want to ask something, Sean. Do you think I don't know anything about hygiene? You don't have to mention about the obvious!" He still did not show any interest in my violent reaction.

"Making it clear won't do any bad. Fifth, you can use everything in this house except my cars. Dad's cars are parked in garage, so in case you had an emergency and your car is not available due to coding or mafunctions, you can choose from those. My cars are the ones at the back of the house. No one can touch them, but me, so please be careful. If you're bored, you can use the gym here, or drink in the bar here with your girl friends." I nodded, but my brow is raised.

"Anything more?" I asked.

"That would be all," he answered.

"Okay. Can I give some privacy rules here too?" He stood as if ready to walk away. Damn this rude bastard.

"I want to be honest and say that I can't abide with your privacy policies, Chunsa. Good night," he yawned like he was really sleepy. My jaw dropped when his back faced me. He walked away with all confidence and pride. How the hell a conceited man like him exists?
