Mated To My Stepbrother-Chapter 90

Timothy pov

I watched as Jaxon took Aria away, and I couldn’t help but sulk in my anger.

Even though I had planned to stand up to him and show him how I felt, it just wasn’t working at all. Everything was just getting worse. He seemed to be getting even more braver than he usually used to.

He was having so much guts suddenly, and I did not like that at all; it was just so annoying.

Maya rushed towards me as she entangled her hands with mine.

"I do not know why you would never hear. One thing: Aria would always take you as nothing but her best friend. didn’t you see how she just reacted? She is even stunned you dare think to that extent," Meyer said.

Even though she was very much right, I did not want to believe her. I was not ready to believe she was right because I knew that somewhere in Aria’s heart, she still cared and loved me wholeheartedly.

"I do not want to talk about this anymore. Maya," I said to Maya a bit angry.

"I don’t even know why you came here in the first place. I told you multiple times whenever I was in a situation with Aria. I do not want you anywhere close by; that is why I am still following you around and making Aria think that I am now by your side." I said to her, and she seemed a bit nervous, clearly remembering what I had told her because we had made an agreement that I would be by her side and make her even more popular in school if she left Aria for good and I hope that is what she is going to stick to.

I know that I have betrayed Aria, and that can never change, but I had done it because of my anger for Jaxon. I just wanted him to regret everything, but it did not seem to work. I wish she could go back to old times with me. Only then would I be happy.

I slowly walked out of the corner. Maya still had her hands around mine as I stared at the passage. I saw that everyone had all returned to their classes, but I was not in the mood to have any lectures now, so I walked into the cafeteria only to see Mary in a corner going through her phone as she was giggling while eating some chips.

I knew Mary as the kind who always had side dishes or junk foods, even before lunch.

I couldn’t help but remember our moments together. We were one kind of best friends. We seemed inseparable back then, but now we are more like enemies.

We don’t even talk at all.

Back then, I would always come and steal away any junk food around her till she begged me multiple times. Then I gave it back to her, but now, I could only watch from a distance as she continued her habits.

I couldn’t help but smile widely, but I guess I was staring too much as she felt my presence and looked up. Suddenly, the smile on her face faded away and was replaced by a frown.

" What are you doing here," she questioned, but I looked away and was about to walk out of the cafeteria, but she dashed and held my hand, stopping trying to escape.

"I never expected you to do something like this," she said, and I felt so much regret. How I wish I could amend everything.

"I know you see me as someone evil because you think I betrayed Aria, but I want you to know that I did not do anything of that sort to her. I am only trying to protect her, and until I succeed in that plan, I just want you to forgive me for everything I am doing and things I am still yet to do." I told her with so much sincerity after all ,she was one of my friends who stood by my side.

I would never want to betray her or lie to her, but it just was not time for me to become vulnerable yet. I still have a lot of things to do. I needed to do a lot of succession.

Until then, I have to be patient; I have to continue watching till I find the right time to hit Maya in a way that she will regret.

Mary stared at me, and I stared back at her, having nothing to say. I could tell that she could read through my thoughts already and was slowly able to understand me.

" It is fine, Timothy." She began speaking very casually.

"You should have just told me from the beginning. You should have told me this was how you wanted it to be. Can you even remember how disrespectful you sounded to me? You yelled at me because I cared. That alone hurts my feelings deeply, But I pretended because I knew we were best friends even before Aria showed up, and I did not want Aria to be the problem. I know you love her. That can never change, but Aria sees you as her best friend. Do not do something that will make you become the villain in your own love story", Mary said, and even though she was so right, I did not want it to be that way.

"Mary, I’m so confused, and I keep saying nothing is right. I told her to hug me tight. I know it’s hard, but I want you to know that I’m here for you no matter what. We must not make Aria find out about your feelings for her." She said to me and I nodded but just then I remembered that she already knew.

"I am sorry Mary, but she found out today." I said as Mary stepped back in shock.

"Aria wasn’t supposed to find out about it." Mary said and I could see how worried she was, this was all maya’s fault! I am going to make her downfall the most cruelest.
