Taken by My Bad Boy Stepbrother, Part 4 (Taken by My Bad Boy Stepbrother #4)
Cindy Wilder

As I stood in Ethan's room looking at his laptop, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Did he know it was me he was talking to? Was he messing with me the entire time? What if he didn't know?
When I asked him again if he knew it was me, his eyes gave him away before his mouth even moved. I had been played.
Between work, final exams, and packing, I had managed to avoid him as much as possible. All I had to do was make it through graduation and everything would be okay. At least I hoped it would be. The closer it got, the harder I knew it was going to be to walk away.
I had everything packed and ready to go. In less than twenty-four hours I was going to be on my own. There was no way I ever wanted to count on anyone again. They always let me down.
When I woke up the morning of graduation, I looked around my room. It was the last day I would be living there. Ready or not, I was going it alone. There was so much uncertainty in the air, but I knew it was for the best.
Just when I thought I had it all figured out, Ethan did something to show me just how wrong I was.
