Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates

Helanie:

The girl arriving with her father was Jessica. She wore a black dress that couldn’t hide her beautiful long legs. Her pretty brown eyes shone even more with winged eyeliner and glittery eyeshadow.

I was such a fool to think I was special. The compliments directed at me were nothing compared to the ones given to the ladies before me. They were gorgeous.

Of course, the brothers would choose them any day over an average girl like me. Jessica had her brown hair straightened like a waterfall. She was all smiles with Norman, who was also constantly speaking with her. Whenever she had something to say to him, he would bend down to reach her level. He would casually pull his face near her ear and listen to her attentively.

However, while Kesha looked too arrogant and full of herself, Jessica was the one who seemed friendly. She was going around checking on everyone. Even Kaye seemed to smile a lot for her.

"I heard they had a breakup previously, but then—well—her father convinced Norman that she would be a good choice." Rudy must have noticed how attentively I had been staring at her for him to come and tell me what was going on between the two of them.

She must have a lot of patience to tolerate someone like Norman, who looked like a giant beast in a dark gray tweed suit. The brothers were busy greeting everyone and then taking pictures with them.

Charlotte had a golden dress on. Her eyes kept looking over at Maximus, who seemed anxious. I saw her trying to communicate with him here and there, but he was too distracted. It confused me to watch him look at me and then smile at me—almost as if nothing had happened. Nothing had gone wrong between us.

Everyone began to clap and welcome my mother and Lord McQuoid and my mother, who had just arrived in their car.
