I'm here now in my room doing my homework. After half an hour, I finally finished! I stood up, turned off the laptop, stretched, and walked closer to my bed. I was about to go to bed when suddenly someone knocked. "Who is that?"
"Ma'am, it's me..." Oh, it's the maid.
"Come in. It's open," I said.
"It's not necessary. You can just come outside." What an attitude.
"Huh? Why?"
"Your dad is calling you downstairs," she said. What does Daddy need?
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, I don't know. Get out of there; it's like we're crazy talking. If possible, just come out." She said that, so I laughed, got up, and walked to the door to go out.
"Here I am," I said, laughing.
"Oh, you little kid," she said, immediately placing both hands on my cheeks.
"Please don't." I pretended I was sad, so she laughed and also lightly hit my arm.
"Okay, that's enough. Hurry up and go downstairs. Your father has been waiting for you for a while." She said, so I nodded to her.
"Quick!" And then walked down the stairs.
"Diana! Come here, baby," Daddy called when I got down the stairs. The maid said he wanted to talk to me. "What is it, Daddy?" I asked as I approached, and that's when I noticed someone was with him, a girl. A woman in her 40s, I think about the same age as Daddy. I looked at Daddy and frowned at him.
"Baby, this is your Aunt Lourdes," Daddy said, but the addition surprised me. "She's my fiancée." He introduced the smiling woman who was almost the same age as Daddy.
"W-what?" I asked in shock.
"Yes, baby. She will be your mom," and put his arm around the woman who smiled at me.
"M-mom?"
"Yes, baby. Sorry if I startled. I introduced her too much suddenly. I also want to ask you if it's okay. If not, then..." Daddy sadly turned to the girl who just smiled at him.
I looked at the woman again. She seems nice. And it's been two years since Mom left, and I want to make Daddy happy. I took a deep breath before turning to her and smiling.
"Hello. I'm Diana Arestelle Beuront." I also smiled at her and held out her hand. She raised both arms as if she wanted to hug me. So, I came to her and hugged her.
"I'm Lourdes Andres. Nice meeting you. There are many stories about your daddy to you. Do you know that I've been wanting to have a daughter for a long time? It's because I already have a son." The joy in her voice surprised me.
"You have a son?" I asked in shock.
"U-uhmmm. Is it okay?" She hesitated, and I immediately smiled.
"Yes, of course. I really want to have an older brother or sister." I said, smiling at her.
"I told you. She'll like you and your son," said Daddy smiling.
"Your daddy is right. Just wait, he's with us here," she said and also looked around to find him.
"Oh, he's there." Aunt Lourdes pointed to the door where her son was. I turned around and was surprised at what I saw.
W- what The hell?
Diana's pov -
"Oh, he's there."
W- what the hell?
Is this a joke?! What the hell? Is this real? What the hell is happening?
"Son, come here! I'll introduce you to your uncle's daughter," said Aunt Lourdes. The boy, who was chewing bubble gum, came and walked towards us with a smile. I watched his every move, trying to confirm if it was him.
"You look shocked, Diana," said Aunt Lourdes, noticing my surprise as her son reached us. A man with a thick face and a rough attitude!
"Brenz, this is Diana, your uncle's daughter," Aunt introduced me, and the demon faced me. When he noticed me, he grinned, irritating me. Annoying!
"Brenz Lucifer Andres," he said with a smile, extending his hand to me.
"Diana Arestelle Beuront," I said with difficulty, cautiously looking at his hand, not wanting to get my good hands dirty. I still didn't want to be held or touched.
"Aren't you going to accept my hand?" he asked with a smile. I reluctantly accepted his outstretched hand and immediately pulled it back. I need to sanitize my hands. I'm sure they're dirty!
"You know, son, Diana has been wanting a brother for a long time," Daddy said, smiling as he shared the story with the demon, who was on his aunt's arm, smiling at us.
"Yeah?" Psh. It's really good to cut his tongue!
"And you know, Brenz, she's happy because she's going to have a brother!" Aunt said with a smile. Happy my ***. If he will only be my brother, never mind! I would rather die than be his sibling!
"Really, Mom? She's happy? I thought she's angry because she rolled her eyes at me," he said with a sneer, making me even more irritated. I hit him in the arm.
"You jerk!" I couldn't stop myself from saying it.
"Diana!" Daddy suddenly called out in shock because of what I did to that demon.
"See, uncle?" he said with a sneer, then faced me and grinned. Psh. I really want to kill you! You bastard!
"Stop smirking, can you? You look maniacal," I whispered to him.
"You two look like you know each other," Aunt said with a smile. I immediately shook my head. No freaking way! I wish I didn't know him. It's a curse to meet this man.
"No, we don't know each other. I-I just don't like his smile. It reminds me of someone I saw at school out in every corner of the university," I said to Aunt and tried to smile.
"Oh. Is that so? It's okay; you'll get used to that too. He's a kind boy, even if he doesn't look like it," Aunt Lourdes said with a smile, and I tried to smile back.
"Be nice to him, Diana, okay? They'll be staying here from now on." W-what? Is this for real? It's okay if it's Aunt Lourdes, but this guy? No freaking way. Damn.
"What?!"
"What's wrong with that, baby?" Daddy asked because of my sudden outburst.
I was a little embarrassed by my shouting. Aunt might think I don't agree. I only disagree with his son. I actually like her here but not her son. I want to kick him. Or maybe our house will get dirty.
"Nothing," I said softly.
"Okay. You can go back to what you're doing now, baby. I just want to introduce them," Daddy said. I nodded to him.
"Yes, Dad."
"And oh, by the way, please show Brenz his room next to yours?" Daddy said. Can't it just be the maid? Just looking at him makes my blood boil. When I'm the one who gets bored, I might take him to my storage room. Besides, why is he next to me?! I took a deep breath.
"Fine," I said helplessly and went ahead, walking up the stairs. I turned around to see that the demon was already frowning and grinned at me.
"Just follow," I said with difficulty, continuing to walk uphill. "This is your room," I said, pouting, and showed him his room.
"So, you're Dad's baby, huh? And happy? Really, Arestelle? I didn't know you wanted a brother," he said with a smile. What a shame this demon is with his name.
"So what? Psh. If it's just you as my brother, I won't ask for one. There's your room; I hope you'll have nightmares while you're sleeping," I said awkwardly and walked towards my room. Suddenly, he blocked my path with his arm, forcing me to go around him, as he also blocked it for his own sake.
"I don't want you to be my sister either," he said.
"Damn you, go away. I need to sanitize my hands," I told him.
"Why?"
"Because my hand touched yours!" I said, sat down, and maneuvered around him to exit. I succeeded, so I immediately entered my room and locked the door.
I opened the door once again to see if he was still there, but there was nobody.
I went to a table where my makeup stuff is, and I also looked for alcohol to disinfect. I don't know where his hands have been.
- Brenz's POV -
The arrogance I was showing earlier vanished as soon as I entered the room Uncle gave me.
Damn, Arestelle, you're really something. You are quite annoying.
I think I can get revenge for the trouble you caused me. Tsk. My phone rang, and I saw that it was Monette calling. I immediately turned it off and was about to hang up the phone.
Monette:
Babe, I miss you and your body.
She sent a picture of her biting her lips. I ignored her message and started to arrange my clothes in the closet and my things on the table in the corner near my bed.
Then I lay down on the bed, tired, until I fell asleep.
"Ma'am, your car is ready. Come in," said the maid after I got off.
I went to the dining area where Daddy and Aunt Lourdes were eating with my step-brother, the demon.
"Oh, Diana. Eat now," said Aunt Lourdes. I shook my head; I'm going to be late.
"I might be late, Tita. I'll just take this," I said and just took some egg sandwich on the plate.
"You might be hungry. It's still a long time for lunch," she asked worriedly, and I smiled at her. "No. There is still an exam I need to do a review early because I'm going again," I said to her.
"Is that so? Be careful then. Make sure you eat food later, huh? Do you want to take some food with you?" she said.
"Don't. I'll eat later. Don't worry," I said, smiling.
"She only eats grass for lunch and sandwiches for snacks, uncle," said the demon, who was in front of me, so I didn't notice that I was stopped in front of his chair. I secretly pinched him on the back. How does he know that? This devil. Psh. It's really bad. How I want to kill him.
"Ouch, ****!" He said, making me smirk. Ha. Serves you right, devil.
"Burn your mouth!" Aunt screamed in shock.
"What happened, son?" Daddy asked.
"Nothing. I'm sorry, Mom," said bowing. Bleee, it's good for you. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
"Alright, Dad, aunty, I'm leaving. Goodbye," and also kissed Daddy as well as Aunt on the cheeks. Brenz looked at me and someone said.
"Where's mine?" He asked a voiceless question.
"Oh, you're in the same school, right? Why don't you go with Brenz?" Daddy asked, which made me stop. Damn, we're going together?! He will take care of that. I don't want to keep up with a demon. Maybe someone will meet us at school and see what else to issue.
"Oh yes! Come on, Mommy, uncle will come with me," he said, and I was suddenly surprised, put his arms around me, which surprised me and pulled me, leaving the dining area.
When we got to the garage, I pulled his hand and turned him around and put his arm behind his back.
"O-ouch, ****! What the hell are you doing?!"
"You maniac!"
"What?"
"Don't even try to touch me with those dirty hands of yours!"
"What, I only touched utensils, huh?"
"I don't care! And don't go near me! Especially at the university!" And also walked first to the van with the driver.
"Driver, let's go," I said.
"Huh? Aren't you and Sir Brenz together?" He asked surprised.
"He changed his mind. He said he will go alone; let's go," I said, smiling to the driver, so he nodded and started to drive.
I was smiling until my cell phone rang. So I looked at the caller and saw that it was an unknown number, so I didn't answer and let the call die. After that call, someone texted.
+639863*******
You'll pay for this, Arestelle!
- Brenz's POV -
Damn! Aish! I entered again to get my car keys; I brought it here when we moved. I caught up with Uncle and Mommy while Mom was fixing Uncle's necktie.
I'm not against them. As long as my mom is happy and not hurt, then I'm happy. She was deeply hurt by what that useless man did; that's why I don't really want to love or have serious relationships. It sucks. That's why my motto is "Just **** and leave." I don't want to attach with temporary people.
"Oh, son? I thought you and Diana were together?"
"Ah, I think I would take the car. I will also take Diana with me if possible."
"Sure. Take care," he said as he approached me with Mommy, who is smiling. She also kissed my forehead before leaving the house.
- Diana's POV -
"Dismiss," said the teacher. Hey, it's tiring to think of a formula and solve. Math is our last subject. I stretched first and then started putting the things away. I was about to go out when there's a crowd of people at the door that's blocked by flirtatious fliers.
"Oh my god, what is he doing here?"
"Who is he picking up?"
"Lucky, oh my god."
"Ahem, excuse me," I said, and they started leaving because the woman slightly pushed me, which irritated me.
"I said, make way, or all of you will be reported!" I shouted. They hurried to step aside, and I pushed my way out.
I gasped when I saw it. Who are they confusing? It's just a demon.
"What are you doing here, dirty demon?"
I said, tired. My brain was a mess earlier.
"Oh my god, did she just call him a dirty demon?"
"What did you say?!"
"OMG. She called Brenz a dirty demon?"
"How dare you."
"Try to come closer and rush me. I won't make a mistake and burn you alive." They were silenced by what I said. "And you, what are you doing here?" I said with raised eyebrows. He just looked at me badly and immediately pulled away, which surprised me.
"Hey, you!" He didn't stop until we got to the parking lot. This is again an issue!
"What?!"
"You will come with me. No one will chase you."
"Wha—"
He stopped when someone was calling him.
"Hello?... On my way home... oh, where?... ok." and put down the phone. "Come in," he said, but I stayed standing with arms crossed.
"Are you coming in, or I will carry you?" A threat, so I jumped inside his car, and he followed, then he started to drive.
"Where are we going? This is not the way home?" I wanted to ask, but he didn't answer me and continued driving.
"Hey! What the hell?! You're not going to answer? I'll break this."
"You shut up. Make one more sound, and I'm going to kiss you."
