Mated To My Stepbrother-Chapter 28

*Jaxon’s POV*

"You hurt my feelings Jaxon" Stevie went on,as she kept on advancing towards me. The whole scene before me felt a trailer of an horror movie. Stevie was the cool and gentle girl from earlier today and my brain found it hard to believe that she was the one before me now brandishing a daggers

"You blocked me on social media and you never thanked me privately for sending you money everytime"

"You’re the random fan who kept sending me money?"

"Hell yes where do you think the money usually came from. You thieving scoundrel" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Realization cleared my mind now and images of the nights I made posts daring my followers to gift me money flashed across my muddled mind. The money usually came, landing heftily in my bank accounts but who would have thought that they came from a fan? Not only a fan, a stalker fan and one who happens to appears this harmless and innocent!

"I’m sorry Stevie"

I didn’t realize that I’d begun to stutter until a tiny bead of sweat tricked from my forehead into my left eye. A ray of the golden sunset landed on the blade she was holding and it glittered with a deathly menace.

"Please Stevie... please.. I’m"

"Just shut up will you" she stomped her foot in anger and let out a groan of frustration "just shut up will you? You stuck-up heartbreaker!"

"What!"

My eyes widened reflexively and they almost tore my face as they did so. She stomped her foot again and threw her arms in anger

"Yes! You broke my heart, I was so in love with you that I was always doing things to make you notice me but you never did and whenever you did, ignored it!"

"Calm down Stevie"

"No!"

She charged at me with the knife and I hurriedly moved back "You hurt my feelings because I’m not good enough for the most popular basketball player in the school"

Somepart of me sensed pain in her angry demeanor but what would I have done about it when I didn’t even know who she was! I took a closer look at the skinny brunette with the long face now and I wondered how she met with Timothy and how this camping trip came to be. Was this some sort of set up?

"I’ll do whatever you want Stevie", I pleaded, "just take me back home"

I almost wasn’t surprised when she burst into a sinister laughter but I was totally shocked when she suddenly charged towards me and gripped me around the neck. "I’m going to kill you now handsome player" she pronounced ominously, "then the other girls won’t have you! If I can’t have you no one will"

I would have considered the Stevie words crazy and absurd if tiny her hands were not choking the life out of me,I didn’t know she had this much strength in her veins. I didn’t know that my once perfect life would take a drastic turn within the space of four hours.

"Let me go Stevie", my attempt to stiffle a cough failed and saliva spluttered out of my nose, "we’ll talk things over, just let me go. Let’s leave this place"

Stevie didn’t say a word in response to my plea for mercy, instead she raised the long dagger into the high into the air and made to stab my temple with it.

Different images flashed across my mind instantly and an epiphany of what would really happen to me if the knife went through my head descended on me. I thought Stevie was just threatening me with the dagger, I didn’t know she actually meant to kill me!

"You arrogant fool", she said through clenched teeth as she struggled to plunge the knife into my throat "to hell with you"

I gathered the strength in my muscles and grabbed Stevie’s hand. The action came as a shock to her but I didn’t let her recover before punching her in the face and pushing her to the ground. I pinned her down immediately she landed on the brown earth and a struggle ensued between the two of us.

My plan was to take the dagger from her and run as fast as my legs could carry me_ run in any direction in the forest but then she turned out to be stronger than I expected. Before I could blink she sank her fingers into my left cheek and clawed it down. I felt my own skin ripping into bit but I hadn’t finished processing the pain when she suddenly grabbed a fistful of sand and threw at my face, directly into my teary eyes.

I went blind for a moment, unable to breathe and my head was going to explode with deep pain. Stevie grabbed the dagger again and I pictured rasing it to stab me when loud footsteps suddenly invaded my ears.

"What are you doing to Stevie" a strident voice screamed and before I could take another breath, a pair of strong hands grabbed my shoulders and dragged me off Stevie. I had managed to dust the sand out of my eyes by now and when I forced them open I saw a huge man standing in front of me. He was fuming and all livid with rage

"What are you doing to my daughter", he screamed punching my face"way are you trying to rape my daughter?"

"What!"

My eyes were still blurry from the effect of the sand in them and I was still feeling intense pain but I blinked the remaining particle of sand away and strained them open. "I am not trying to rape your daughter sir. Why would I ever in my life want to do such a disgusting thing?"

I turned to Stevie, utterly breathless and frazzled as she stood huddled up between two other men whom I considered to be her dad’s entourage. "Tell your father what happened Stevie, tell him how we came to be here,tell him what you just did to me!"

"Hold on young man", Stevie’s father said to me sternly, gesticulating with his right hand raised midway into the air, "my daughter here cannot speak. She’s a mute, she’s dumb"

How me and Stevie actually ended up in the forest in this sort of position was kind still surreal and if anyone had told me that what I heard Stevie’s father say just now was a singled out line from a dream I would have believed, only that it wasn’t, it was happening 3D right in front of me.

"My poor Stevie here", he said with a sob as he picked a tear from the left side of his face, "lost her voice in an accident. She’s suffering from dysphonia and you are here",he pointed his shaky finger at me, "are trying to take advantage of her weakness, you want to assault her sexually and look at how badly you’ve injured her!"
