Deceiving My Bully Stepbrother
Chapter 74

(Dave)

About f*****g time these kids come to their senses. I was worried for a moment I might have to do something drastic..It's been done before and I got away with it..I'm sure it would be easy again.

I glanced over at Heather, frowning as I watched her about to apply bright red lipstick to her pouty lips while looking in the mirror.

"Don't you think that might be a little much? We want the Winfields to be impressed, not think I have a prostitute for a wife." I snapped, feeling stressed about this whole dinner..it has to go flawlessly.. "Seriously Dave? You are such an a*****e.." She spat, making me lose any ounce of patience I had left.

I reached my hand out, gripping the base of Heather's neck as she let out a gasp.

"You might've grown up as white trash Heather, but I refuse to let you be it now. You are my wife and you need to dress the damn part..at least Viva knew that much." I hissed, making Heather's eyes widen as I knew she was about to talk back.

"Now shut your damn mouth and finish getting ready, they will be here any minute." I gritted through my teeth, keeping my face mere inches from her as the threatening tone of my voice seemed to do the job.

"Good girl." I spat, forcing a rough kiss on her as the urge to feel those lips wrapped around my c**k took over..but we didn't have time.

"I will be downstairs, and I don't want to see any of that cheap s**t on your face." I stated once more and backed away. Truthfully, sometimes I missed Viva because of how natural she was at all of this..one smile and she would light up any room.. Heather has to be trained and I don't have f*****g time for that right now..

I don't think she realized what it takes to be the wife of a King..Alder is our only f*****g hope to salvage this family.

I glanced in the mirror once more,.fixing my gray tie before nodding and heading out of the room. Everyone was going to be here, even my son Ben..I was shocked when I got the call.

I mean..I knew he would come to his senses and that this outcome was the best it ever could be for him..he was a King by blood..but we still couldn't air out the truth..I even told him that, and he seemed more than okay with keeping it a secret.

So all that's left is getting Alder married and then I will break up Caspian and that little slut..then we can replace someone more suitable for him.

Of course I wasn't going to keep my word..no way in hell would I let Caspian ruin his life like this. It's unacceptable.. "Sir, Master Alder has just arrived." My butler Oliver informed me before stepping back and motioning towards the study. Good, he got here first, that way we can go through the plan.

I stepped down the hall and headed straight for the study as I heard muffled chatter, letting me know he was here with someone else, surprising me.

The moment I turned the corner, my eyes widened.

"Viva, I didn't expect you to be here." I blurted, truly surprised to see my ex-wife here.

I let my gaze drift up and down her body, her dark blue dress was elegant and refined. She looked impeccable, and for a brief moment that urge to touch her rose once again..I felt it in Florida too..but if Heather knew that, she would cut my damn d**k off. The difference between Heather and Viva in the bedroom is that Heather can be completely dominated in every way possible..she is submissive and does exactly what I say..but Viva..she was a fighter..

I have had some of the most passionate s*x with that woman and it usually happened after a fight. But that wasn't what I needed in my life..she was too independent..too smart for her own good.Many paragraphs are missing. Read the complete book on J o-b n-1 b. c (o) m .Heather was the one I chose to be with because I know for a fact that she would do anything for me..and she has. She even gave up her own children just to be with me, Viva..she would never do that.

"Dave, I wanted to come and support our son. Even if it was a shock to learn he has found someone so quickly." She let out a breathy laugh before turning and fixing our son's tie.

"Yes, I was pretty surprised myself." I added while clearing my throat and eyeing Alder.

He must've told his mother that he fell in love with Heaven, that was one option I gave him, so no one would question anything.

"So where is your wife? I was hoping to speak with her about something." Viva added, making me stiffen..the last time we were all together Viva was screaming across the kitchen.

"I know what you must be thinking, and you have nothing to worry about. The boys need a father, and I won't get between that okay?" She added, her smile genuine as I was taken aback..

Before I could say anything else, Oliver came into the room.

"Sir, the remaining guests have just arrived." He informed me as I nodded once and turned to go greet the Winfields. Walking out of the study, I noticed Heaven and Freddy whispering to one another as their parents eyed Caspian and Johnnie who stood a little further away with Ben beside them.

I looked at my son, seeing he was wearing a well tailored suit and actually cleaned up very nicely. Even that girl dressed accordingly..she had on a cream-colored long-sleeved dress and I couldn't help but let my eyes wander down her body.

I see she got her mother's figure..maybe even a little more..

"Logan, Patricia, thank you both for coming." I greeted my son's future in-laws just as I heard the sound of heels clicking from behind me.

"The least you could've done was wait for me Dave.." Heather began to gripe before freezing in her tracks and looking towards Viva.

"What is she doing here?" Heather blurted, embarrassing me as I narrowed my eyes at Heather.

"She is here to celebrate with us, it's only natural we all start to come together." I tried not to grit through my teeth and brushed off Heather's poor entrance with a laugh.

"Oh Heather, your home is beautiful!" Patricia praised before stepping beside my wife as they looped arms.

"So Logan, what can I get for you to drink?" I began, my eyes flicked towards Caspian as I swear he had been glaring at me, but the moment our eyes met, all he did was smile.

We all made our way to the study as Oliver began making drinks for us, my eyes darting to Alder as he stood back with Ben. Why was he just standing there? He needs to be greeting his future wife.

"Son, why don't you join us, what will you have?" I said cheerfully while walking over to Alder and slapping his back roughly.

"Go make your fiancee feel welcome..you want to make a good impression don't you?" I hissed beside his ear, so only he could hear.

After pulling back, I watched Alder glance toward Logan Winfield before stepping away from me.

"No thank you, I should go check on Heaven and make sure she is okay." Alder stated flatly, making me nod once. I glanced at Logan and saw him smile in approval, causing me to fill with relief.

We all know his daughter is only doing this to try and make Capsian jealous, but I want him to see that my son will truly take care of her at the very least..even if this whole marriage is a sham. "I didn't realize Viva would be here." Logan stated before lifting his cup and taking a sip.

I could hear Heather and Patricia gossiping about something in the corner as they glanced behind me, which I'm guessing is where Viva stood.

"Ah yes, I think she has finally come to her senses." I stated confidently when a loud crash sounded from somewhere in the room.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry! I didn't see you there." Viva exclaimed as I turned and witnessed Heaven gaping down at her once white dress as it now had red wine all down the front.

"It..it's okay.." Heaven stammered while swallowing hard. Then I watched Caspian pull Johnnie closer to his side as Viva glanced towards them.

"Perhaps Heather has something else you can change into." Viva offered and that's when Patricia and Heather ran to Heaven's side.

"It..must have been an accident." I reassured Logan who nodded in agreement before taking another drink.

Viva was never the vindictive type of woman, so I can't imagine she would do that on purpose.

"Why don't we make our way towards the dining area while the girls freshen up." I added when Ben came walking towards

me.

"Dad, don't forget your drink." He suddenly stated, causing me to freeze as I looked towards him in shock. Did he just call me Dad?!

Logan glanced between us, confusion obviously filling him as I let out a booming laugh before slapping Ben on the back. What the f**k is he thinking?!

"Of course son..you know now that he is my stepson, it just feels so natural to call him that." I rushed out as Logan nodded once, seeming satisfied with that as I glared at Ben.

He just ignored me and started to walk towards the dining room once again.

"Oh, Dave, I wanted to let you know that I have a guest who will be joining us a little later on.." Viva informed me out of the blue as I froze in my steps.

"A guest? Who have you invited? Wait..like a date?" I had no f*****g idea who she could have coming and that's where my mind went..maybe she wanted to try and make me feel jealous..is that it? Does she want me to see her with another man?

"It's someone I recently reconnected with. Don't worry..it's a surprise." She whispered while stepping closer to me, her hand resting flat on my chest as I peered down into those big eyes.

That's when I felt my c**k harden instantly...yeah, she still f*****g wants me.

"Dave!" Heather called my name angrily as I quickly stepped away from Viva and darted my eyes away..shit.

"I will see you in there." Viva whispered before smiling up at me like she had done so many times before.

"What were you two just talking about?" Heather hissed, making me feel annoyed as I glanced down at her scowling face.. "None of your business, now let's go sit down and stop embarrassing me." I snapped..for f***s sake..if anyone was going to ruin my night it would be Heather at this point.

"Now come on, let's go celebrate Alder's engagement before you piss me off even more."
