Emily’s Dilemma: Seduced by Billionaire Brothers

Ethan had seen Jackson seated on the floor, both of his knees scraped and bleeding with his bike broken beside him while he cried softly. Quickly he ran over to him, placing his bike softly next to Jackson’s broken one.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“What happened Jackson?” Ethan asked “Who did this to you?”

“Frank and Junior” Jackson cried referring to the Weatherbee brothers “They pushed me down to hill to win the race and they ran away – those little shits”

“What!” Ethan was angry now, as he looked up the winding hill that Jackson might’ve rolled over and his face clouded with anger because if he had come along, it wouldn’t have happened.

“If you came along, they wouldn’t do that. It was two against one, I didn’t stand a chance with them” Jackson said angrily.

“Well we’re not going to let them get away with it”

“What are you going to do? Push them down the hill? Frank on his own is twice both our sizes” Jackson said loudly, clearly exasperated and still annoyed at Ethan’s betrayal but Ethan bent over to help him up to his feet.

“Even better than that” Ethan said. He cleaned the dust off Jackson’s clothes as they both inspected his broken bike

“Dad is going to be furious” Jackson said “I just got this”

“Well he doesn’t have to know, I doubt we’ll biking for a while now and I bet video games doesn’t sound like a bad idea right now”

“Right” Jackson managed a smile and they walked along together

The next day, Ethan had his game plan ready. He knew exactly what he was going to do to teach the Weatherbee brothers a lesson to not mess with his brother again. Ethan didn’t particularly think he was the type to exact revenge, but he had a point to prove, if he didn’t do anything, next time he’ll be the one rolling down the hill with his mouth filled the dust.

At school, Ethan played for the lacrosse team alongside with Frank Weatherbee, although that had nothing to do with what he planned to do initially. Ethan was the school’s heartthrob, he was popular, incredibly handsome and of course those features came with a lot of girls flocking around him and like every other fifteen year old, he basked in the attention. He didn’t particularly have a girlfriend but there were a lot of his schoolmates he knew had a crush on him and one of them was Amanda Scoffield the girl Frank had a crush on.

That morning, he passed by her locker a smile on his face as he looked at her his eyes lingering on her for a second longer and she noticed it causing her smile to go wider than usual.

“Hey Ethan” she said in the familiar high-pitched tone that girls used around him. Ethan stopped, walking up to her where she stood and she immediately cozied up to him, from the corner of his eyes Ethan made sure Frank was watching and the angry look on his face, gave him some instant satisfaction but he was only just starting.

“Amanda” Ethan smiled his million dollar smile he knew the girls loved, then he placed a carefree hand round her shoulders, her lavender scent drifting into his nose “How about I walk you to class you looking incredibly dashing this morning, I just couldn’t walk by”

There was the blush slowly creeping unto her rosy cheeks, her deep brown hair now falling over her face as she tried to hide her blush from him but Ethan was smooth flirting with girls in high school came easier than AP calculus and he relished in it.

“Do you want to sit next to me at lunch today I’ll save you a seat” he said

“Of course Ethan” Amanda’s blush even grew darker and she couldn’t meet his eyes but before he let her go, he took his hands to her lips and swiped his thumb over her bottom lip in a smooth motion and Amanda paused staring shocked at him with an unbelievable look.

“There was something oh I’m sorry” Ethan said immediately but Amanda waved it off immediately, her hands meeting his but Ethan held unto it

“It’s okay Ethan, I’ll see you at lunch?” she said and Ethan nodded, watching her leave. When he turned, Frank was there staring at him from afar with a deep frown on his face but Ethan only smirked back he had planted a seed already now it was left to watch it grow.

There were only two things that brought Frank Weatherbee to school every day first it was lacrosse and secondly it was walking Amanda Scoffield to her class every morning. But that fateful morning, he had seen the bloody Ethan Hatton cozying up to Amanda and walking her to her class he had felt completely helpless and his blood boiled over, his hands balling into a fist beside him till his knuckles turned white. He didn’t stand a chance with Ethan Hatton, especially with girls and he knew it. Ethan was tall and had the lanky stature that girl loved, handsome and was a star lacrosse player. How could he beat that when next to Ethan he looked like an overweight kid who hadn’t shed of his baby fat yet.

Later that day, he sneaked out of his literature class to wait for Amanda outside her class and the moment the bell rang and he saw her slim figure walking with her long brown hair swinging beside her, he sidled next to her immediately, and the moment she saw him he could see it the disappointment on her face he wasn’t Ethan.

“I didn’t see you this morning, I wanted to walk you to class” he started and she avoided his eyes.

“Oh” she simply said “I was busy” she scooted away from him and walked at a safe distance so if someone saw, it wouldn’t look like they were walking together, but Frank had adamantly refused to get the hint.

“Do you want to sit together at lunch?” he asked, his heart suddenly racing behind his chest and hoping that she’ll say yes and just maybe, he could tell her how much he liked her and push Ethan out of the way, but she stopped abruptly and gave him a look that Frank couldn’t read so he hoped she’ll use her words instead. She was just about to speak when suddenly someone called her name and she turned towards the direction it was Ethan.

Frank groaned internally.

“Over here Amanda” Ethan called again, a sweet smile on his face and Amanda smiled back.

“I gotta go” Amanda said swiftly to him, not even sparing him a glance and she stalked off.

Frank could feel the heat emanating off him, his face felt hot with anger and embarrassment, his fist balled unconsciously beside him again. He wasn’t the type to just sit and watch, he wasn’t going let Ethan just swoop in and steal Amanda from him with his sweet smile and boyish smile. Immediately, he threw his reasoning away and allowed his pure instincts to guide him. When he saw Ethan take Amanda’s hands in his, that was all it took to send him on a blind rage. Just then, he walked over to where they stood at the cafeteria, without thinking he threw in a swift punch to Ethan’s nose and suddenly everywhere went quiet.

The whole cafeteria gasped and then you could hear a pin drop –
