12-Evil Stepbrother Locked Me In Bathroom

Nora:

“Take your time, but do arrive before 9. Everyone will be there waiting for you,” Dad said, all

dressed up in a nice tuxedo. I nodded and began to estimate how much time I would spend doing

my makeup. I wasn’t a pro, but I loved makeup.

“Ah! Here comes my pride, my sons,” Dad smiled widely, gazing at the staircase. I followed his gaze

to see Cain and Ryker in suits. Cain was wearing black single breasted suit that made him look

even handsome, and Ryker slayed in a gray slim fit suit. Not to mention, my brothers were

extremely good-looking. Their mates must be so lucky to have them.

“Where is Silas?” Dad questioned, looking behind them. “He left for a healing session with some

omega patient,” Cain answered. I saw the shocked expression on Dad’s face before Ryker added,

“I’ll go bring him.”

The dynamic between the brothers was odd too. Ryker was the only one who mostly initiated any

communication with the brothers. The others didn’t necessarily show any emotions towards each

other either.

“You better do it. Tonight is important. The council will take notice of how much I mean to you all.

Which is why, Nora, please come on time,” the contrast between Lord Holland’s tone when talking

to me gr his sons was evident. He was so gentle with me that even his sons rolled their eyes

whenever they saw us communicating.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make you proud today. I even wrote a speech thanking you,” I smiled like a fool

when my statement pulled a smile to Dad’s lips, “Oh my! This would be the first time my child will

dedicate something to me,” his compliment also seemed. like a subtle taunt to his sons, who took

notice but didn’t say anything.

After Ryker grabbed a suit to personally go and bring Silas, they all left, leaving me behind with

Nash.

“Don’t be late,” Nash stood at the top of the staircase, watching me step up to get ready.

“I won’t be,” I reluctantly gave him a smile when passing him. I didn’t want to notice him, but the way

his white shirt tightened around his chest, unable to shut the first few buttons, couldn’t go unnoticed.

His muscular chest was on full display, and the black coat made him look even sexier. I shook my

head when briskly making my way into the bedroom. The silver pendant on his neck dangled on his

chest, resting comfortably on his skin.

“Are you going to keep following me?” I didn’t want to be rude to him, but when he followed me to

my bedroom, I couldn’t help. but question his actions.

“I have to make sure you are not sulking,” he rubbed his hand over his head, stroking his short hair.

He liked keeping a bald look, and it actually suited him well too.

“Okay, but I will be taking off my clothes,” I didn’t want to tell him that part, but he left me no choice.

“Take them off in the bathroom,” he muttered, making me give him an eye roll. I reckoned it was of

no use to argue with him. I grabbed a white bathrobe and walked into the bathroom to take

a quick shower. As soon as I stepped inside and walked under the shower, I heard a little noise from

the door, almost like a click.

My first intuition was that he was opening the door. “Eh!” I almost yelled, covering my chest with my

hands, but then I realized he wasn’t walking into the bathroom; in fact, he had locked me inside.

Quickly grabbing the bathrobe with the shampoo still in my hair, I rushed at the door to try to open it.

“What the heck!” I gasped, knocking on the door vigorously.

“Stepbrother!” I called for him in the nicest way possible.

“What is it, my little sweet sister?” his voice was filled with c**ss as he replied from the other side.

“Why is the door locked from outside?” I was shivering due to the cold. I had dropped my clothes in

the dirty laundry. So now I only have a small bathrobe on.

“Hmm! Because you are not coming to the meeting. You are not joining the elites. You are not going

to be introduced as our stepsister, Nash let out a little laugh, scoffing at me for thinking they would

ever accept me.

“But your father will be disappointed. He will look so down in front of the council for wasting their

and others’ time,” I didn’t want to immediately cry when thinking how dad would react. I could tell

Nash wanted to hurt me, so if I cried, it would only boost his ego.

“And whose fault would it be?” he cracked a laugh, shaking his head in disbelief at me.

“You! Dad will finally get to see what a terrible person you are. That you only care about luxuries I

had expected such quick revenge from Silas, but Nash! It never occurred to me that he would play

such a dirty game since he looked so serious all the time. Looks could be deceiving. Were they all

not what they were appearing to be?

“Brother!” as I made a little noise to help him know I was a part of them now, he grunted loudly to

shut me up.

“Hush! I’m not your brother. Call me Alpha King Nash,” the fact that he was already calling himself

the Alpha King despite being in the trial period made it clear that these brothers knew their father

would never take their crowns for some stepsister they just got to know.

“Now rot here while I go read the beautiful speech you wrote for my dad. He will be so proud of me

for writing something for him for once,” he chuckled, stepping away.

“No! You can’t leave me locked in here. It’s freezing cold, and-” i looked around for my phone when

it rang, and then it was answered. I remembered leaving my phone in the bedroom.

“Don’t worry, it’s me calling you. I’ll put you on mute while myself on speaker so that you can hear

the whole evening and even my father talk about you in disappointment,” the evil didn’t stop. there.

He had left the phone outside on speaker for me to hear everything and feel this immense sadness

all alone like every. other time. Nothing had changed in my life even after getting invited into a family

of powerful alpha Kings.

“Nash! Please! If you want me gone, I’ll leave, but don’t leave me here. Dont make me be the

reason Lord Atwood is ashamed. tonight, I cried and banged as hard as I could, but all I could

hear was a paper being **d out of the diary. That was the speech I wrote for dad. The cold-hearted

stepbrother had left me locked in the bathroom. I could hear the car starting from the speakerphone

too. It was going to be one hell of a
