CHAPTER 11 Stepsister
Chase
As I approached home, it was almost noon, a delay I managed after constant threats from Conan. That bastard would've surely shifted and fucking gone on a wild run if I hadn't arrived right now.
Parking the car, I noticed all the lights in the house were on, signaling Dad's arrival with his new wife. It was his habit to illuminate every corner upon reaching home. I didn't know why he did that until now I believed he did it because Mom used to do it but now I doubted his intentions because he brought a new 'mate' home.
Despite my reluctance, I entered the house, my coat draped over my shoulder, hanging from two of my fingers.
The moment I stepped inside, I froze.

There she was- Jade, standing in the kitchen, sipping from a glass of water, while Eleanor worked at the stove, preparing something. Devon sat on the sofa, our eyes briefly meeting before I swiftly shifted my focus back to her. Just her.
Was that really her?
