My Billionaire Stepbrother’s Obsession

Chapter 1

Evelyn’s Pov :

I put my clothes in the bag as I sat down on my bed . Today has been rough , parting with friends and packing everything to move out . My mother is getting married the day after Tomorrow .

I didn’t know how to feel about it . I gave her consent because I wanted my mother to be happy . But as much as I want that , I can’t help but think of my dad . How could my mother forget about him so quickly ?

I sat on her bed crying while holding dad’s photo to her chest .

I got our suitcases out and my mother drove the car over . I still can’t believe that we are leaving this house . It holds so much memories of our family . Specially my dad’s , it hurts to leave but i know i have to . I want my mother to be happy .

After loading the suitcases we hit the road . It took almost 1 our to reach . Adrain spancer whom my mother is getting married to is a billionaire and has a son about my age .I hope that we can get along .

Suddenly my mother Lauren asked , “You okay , Evelyn ?”

“Yeah , I am fine , mom .” I said as I looked out of the window .

“I know it's hard eve , but let's be strong , okay ?”

“Yeah .” I said , not wanting to talk anymore .

“You can tell me if you don’t want me to get married , you know that , right? You are my first priority .” She said as she pulled over the road and turned to me .

“I know . It's just … I just need time to adjust . I don't mind you getting married , mom . I love you , and I want you to be happy. I just need some time alone .” I said as I turned to her . I could see worry in her eyes for me . Not saying anything, she hugged me . I hugged her back holding her tightly . I needed that .

After some time , she pulled back and looked at me . " I love you too , Eve . Don’t worry . He is a nice man , and he will treat us just fine . I hope you guys can get along , especially you and Ashton. I have met him . He is a good child .”

“I will try .” I said as I realized my stepbrother’s name was Ashton . Well , he already sounds like a douchebag

My mom starts the car again , and in 10 minutes , we pull up in front of a mansion . It is a three story mansion . I am sorry , but who lives in a mansion in this era ?! Well, it's the privilege of having money , I guess .

Suddenly a man comes out as we get out of the car . He goes to my mother and hugs her . My mother came to me and introduced us . “Evelyn , this is Adrain . He is going to be your stepfather . And this is Evelyn .”

“It’s lovely to finally meet you , darling . Your mother always talks about you ." He said as he hugged me . Though he seems to be in his 40s , he is still handsome . I would have believed if someone told me he was 32 if my mother hadn’t told me his age .

As we went inside some servents brought our luggage upstairs . From the expensive furnitures to well furnished decoration everything screamed money .

“Evelyn , your mother will show you your room . I am sorry , but your brother isn’t here to welcome you guys . He will join us at dinner , so freshen up and get some rest , dear ." Adrain said as he smiled apologetically .

“It's okay . We can meet later .” I smiled in return to show that I didn’t mind .

As my mother brought me to a room , I was shocked cause the room was decorated with my favourite things and it was really beautiful . I signed , I guess having money isn’t bad after all .

“Do you like it , Evelyn ?" My mother asked standing at the door .

“Yes , mom . Thank him for me . I really like it ." I said , admiring the room .

“I am glad . Our room is on the floor above . The room opposite yours is your brother’s ." She said sitting on the big fluffy bed .

“Okay . How old is he by the way ?” I asked sitting with her .

“He is 20 . You will attending the same school as him . He is in his senior year ." She said taking my hand in hers .

“Tell me if you have any problems , okay ? I want you to know that I love you the most .” She said cupping my face .

“I know , mom .” I said as I hugged her . “When will I start school ?”

“After a few days . I will talk to Adrain about it . Now take some rest . Tomorrow is a big day after all . You have to be at my side all day .” She said as she broke the hug and looked at me . She laughed when she found me pouting . I am not a fan of crowds .

I am a socially awkward potato . And my mother knew that . I didn’t have much friends either at my previous school .

“Okay .” I say as I sit up straight . She kissed my cheeks as she went out closing the door .

After admiring and exploring the room for half an hour I took a shower and organised my clothes and things . After that , I lay on my bed thinking about everything . Adrain seemed like a nice guy . I hope my stepbrother is also like him and we can get along well otherwise , we are going to have a problem .

I fell asleep thinking about everything . My mother came to call me for dinner . As I freshened up and came to my room , I saw a car downstairs . I guess my stepbrother is back .

Suddenly , I started to feel nervous . I make my way downstairs , where Adrain and my mother are waiting with another boy facing his back to me . As I make my way towards the table , I can finally see him and Holy … Was he hot . The boy looked around my age and he was extremely handsome . I found myself staring at him for a few seconds until I realized that we were not the only ones present in the room .

As I sat down , my stepfather introduced us. “Evelyn , this is your stepbrother , Ashton . Ashton , this is Evelyn .” He said as I suddenly made eye contact with my dangerously handsome stepbrother . I looked away when I found him staring at me like I was an interesting thing to look at . I suddenly felt nervous under his piercing gaze .

“Ashton , take care of her . She will be attending the same school as you . Also , I hope that you guys can get along well .” Adrain said as he held my mother's hand .

“Sure . Looking forward to getting to know you , sister .” Ashton said in his deep voice which sent shivers down my spain .
