SABRINA

C hrist, Rina, you’re such a fucking bitch, Sebastian snarls at me as he enters the kitchen where I’m sitting having a cup of coffee.

Oh, and what is it that I’ve done this time? My stepbrother is a pain in my ass. He’s five years older than Carly and I and treats us as though we’re beneath him—something his father does to us as well.

You know damn well what. What the fuck are you shouting at my father for? You’re such a fucking bitch. He didn’t have to let you stay here for the holidays.

The tears well in my eyes, but I don’t let them fall. God, he’s such a dick. I’m a bitch because I don’t want your dad barging into my room while I’m changing? Yeah, I’m the one in the wrong, not your pervy dad.

I hate coming to stay in this house. My parents split almost five years ago, and within a month of their split, she moved the douche of the year Robert Monaghan into our family home. The asshole has money, and because he’s rich, he thinks he owns everyone in this house.

It’s my house, Sabrina, I can do whatever the hell I like. You don’t like my rules, you know where the door is.

I glare at the bastard. Christ. He such a fucking asshole. Your house? Pretty sure it was my dad’s money that paid for this. But, sure, whatever you say, I hiss. Pissed, this is the shit that I have to deal with whenever I’m home. So much for having a family Christmas. I have no idea what my mom sees in Robert, nor do I care. Our relationship has been strained since my parents divorce. As much as my mom tries to deny it, we know that her and Robert were having an affair, and that’s why dad left her.

I get to my feet and leave the coffee cup on the table. I’m so damn angry that this is the shit that I have to deal with every time I come home. I should have known that it wasn’t going to change, hell, I’d have had a better Christmas with my girl Kelly.

I rush up the stairs and see Carly standing in the doorway with her arms crossed and tears in her eyes. God, he’s a fucking bastard, Rina. Are you really leaving?

I move toward my sister, my twin, and wrap my arms around her. The two of us, only two minutes apart in birth, are completely different in not only looks but personality. We’re like Ying and Yang. Yeah, I’m going to dad’s, I should have known better than to come here. I hate mom for putting us in this position.

In the past five years, whenever Carly and I are home, Robert always does creepy things that Sebastian and mom brush aside and act as though they’re innocent. Barging into our rooms while changing. Accidentally brushing against my breasts. The list is endless, and yet our mom thinks that he’s the best thing since sliced bread.

I’ll help you pack, she tells me. I should go with you.

I shake my head. You and I both know that you need his connections to get that job. Once you’ve gotten it, Carly, you’re secure and can tell him to fuck off. It’s one of the reasons why I haven’t kicked the asshole in the balls. He’s holding the job over Carly’s head like an fucker and tries to keep me in line.

I’ll know by Monday, she whispers, her eyes filled with worry and nervousness.

You’re awesome, you’re going to get this job and be the best midwife ever. Hell, knowing Kelly, she’ll want you at her side when she’s giving birth. My best friend is pregnant, and I can’t wait to meet my niece or nephew. I'll do anything for Kelly, but I won't be present at the birth. Hell no. I do not need to see her on full display.

Oh, I hope so, how is she?

I shrug. Still struggling and being alone and worried after losing the last pregnancy, she’s scared.

It’s understandable, but this time she’s not stressed, and she doesn’t have the jerk which is a huge plus.

I reach for my suitcase and start to pack. Yes, Ian can suck on his own cock for all I care. Bastard, I hiss. Ian and Kelly met while she was in college and were together for four years, my girl was happy, when she found out she was pregnant she was over the moon. Until she walked into her apartment to find her mom and fiancé fucking. That was the day that she lost her baby and her fiancé. I’m glad that Helen is dead, if she wasn’t, I’d gladly put her six feet under for all the shit she put her daughter through.

Carly’s laughter is high-pitched, it’s something that I love, she’s so carefree when she laughs. He really is a bastard for what he did to her. I’m just glad that she’s happy.

No one knows who the father of Kelly’s baby is, except me. Hell, even the father doesn’t, and that’s something I’ve been trying to persuade Kelly to rectify. But it’s kind of hard when the father of her unborn child was the man that was married to her mom, and they hooked up at her mom’s funeral.

Thought you were leaving? Robert snarls from my doorway.

I don’t turn around and
