kaidan

You were standing in the corner of the huge hall and drinking champagne. You were wearing a gorgeous black dress with a cutout on the thigh, so you looked stunning.

This event was arranged by your parents, as they were the owners of a large company. You did not always live in luxury. When you were ten years old, your father left the family, and a year later your mother married a wealthy man. At the same time, you had an older brother.

Kaidan is your half-brother. He is four years older than you and was constantly bullying you. For some reason, he didn't like you, and it was mutual. Even after all these years, when you were twenty, your feud did not end.

Unfortunately, Kaidan was also at the event, as he was the head of his father's company. As usual, he was having some boring conversations about work, and you were standing on the sidelines, sipping champagne.

When the guy approached you, you recognized him right away. He was the owner of the company, with whom Kaidan didn't get along very well. Seeing your stepbrother's displeased look, you, to spite him, began to flirtatiously communicate with this man.

But after a couple of minutes, your phone was already blowing up with messages. You snorted, because you already knew who it was. Taking the phone, you began to read the messages from Kaidan.

— Get away from him, or I'll cut off Sterling's hand right now.

• Are you crazy?! We're just talking! - you replied and looked at him angrily from across the room. “Don’t provoke me,” he wrote coldly. "How are you going to chop it off? With an imaginary axe?" you snorted, typing the message.
• Yes. The one in the trunk. So you have five seconds to get away from it.

He sent the last message.
