Dearest Stepbrother Romance: Billionaire Standalone Read Online Free PDF

I’d make it up to her soon enough, when she wasn’t as angry as she seemed to be right now.

 
    Sarah
    During the entire day Kurt kept calling me, he’d occupied my phone the entire time. It was so annoying but what was I supposed to do with it? Maybe I could just have his number get blocked so I’d be rid of him. Part of me was scared of that option, scared that Kurt would show up and try to hurt me. He’d hit me during our relationship so he surely wouldn’t keep himself from not doing so this time. Luckily I stayed at Brad’s house so there was no way he could find me.
    The next message I’d received sent a chill through my spine and for a moment it seemed as if time stood still.
    “I’m inside your house right now. Where are you?” his message read. He’d broken into my house? What was that all about? Surely he was kidding about that. That was just plain burglary, what a freak! What was I supposed to do now? Call the police? Maybe that would make matters even worse. He always found a way to get out sooner and he’d just come see me again right after. He’d done so before and he’d do it again without a doubt.
    I took a walk on the beach to think the situation through, looking for the best possible solution. I was so afraid right now.

 
    Brad
    I stood on the terrace at the back of the house, it overlooked the beach and the see. Sarah was walking on the beach on her own and seemed to be talking to herself. Weird. She was probably still mad about me and needed to get it off her chest.
    The doorbell rang and I waited for someone to go get it, I was already outside anyway. The doorbell rang a second time.
    “Dad!” I yelled. “There’s someone at the door.”
    No response.
    “Damn, I have to do everything around here,” I said to myself.
    I opened the door and an unknown person stood in front of it, looking at me with squinched eyes. He was tall, but still shorter than me. A little belly showed through his shirt and his clothes looked old. What was this guy’s problem?
    “Yes?” I asked and raised an eyebrow.
    “Is Sarah here?” he asked me without even having the decency to introduce himself.
    “That depends. Who wants to know?” I stared him deep in the eyes.
    “Kurt. I’m uh… an old friend of hers.” He sighed.
    “An old friend you say?” I squinched my eyes and nodded. How weird that a stranger showed up asking for Sarah on the same day she’d freaked out about a phone call from her ex-boyfriend.
    “Yes, I’ve known her for quite a while actually.” He laughed, but I could tell it was fake. The look in his eyes gave that away, it didn’t look genuine.
    “I see. Well, there’s nobody called Sarah here, so you’ll have to search for her somewhere else.” I shook my head.
    “Where is she?” he said in a raised voice and pushed open the door.
    “I suggest you stay calm. It’s not smart to invade someone’s privacy if you don’t know whose it is,” I said to him as I grabbed his throat and pushed him against the wall next to the door. His face turned red and I had to release my grip. I’d gotten so mad after I’d found out he was her ex-boyfriend that I didn’t think about squeezing his neck too tight.
    “You’re gonna be sorry about this! You’ve been warned!” he tried to yell, but he had to bend over and cough, trying to get some air again.
    “Is that a threat?” I asked him and placed myself in front of him, lowering myself to speak to him as he was still coughing. “I know a lot of people who are very good at handling threats be it legal or illegal. So think wisely before you act.” I patted him on the back and closed the door, leaving him outside. Who did he think he was? I hoped Sarah would be rid of him now, this should’ve scared him enough.

 
    Sarah
    After my walk on the beach I’d entered the house again, only to see Brad sitting at the chair, looking at me with a smile on his face. It looked like he’d been waiting for me to come back
