Esther's POV
Emily told me that I am in love with Oliver. Is it true? I smile involuntarily whenever I think about him and my head is full of him. I always feel shy around him. And when I told Emily about all these, she said that I am in love with him! She even told me to confess my love to him.
But it's impossible! He is my stepbrother. What if he only consider me as a sister? No, I am not even sure whether I love him or not !
No Esther! You are not going to do this!

Oliver's POV
Right now, I and Esther are in our study room, doing homework. She really looks cute when she is studying seriously. She is cute that I can't take my eyes of her!
"Oliver!" she called me.
"Hmm?"
"What is your ambition?"
"Ambition?"
"Yeah, what do you want to become in your life?"
"Mm… Business man. What about you?"
"I want to start my own business!"
"Why?"
"I think business is interesting!"
"You find business interesting?"
"Yeah!"
"You are really nuts!"
"What about you? You said you also want to become a businessman!"
"Mm.. That's not because I like business…but dad need my help!"
"Oliver, don't become a businessman if you don't want to, because if you become one you will have to live your whole life as one. You will regret it your whole life, you will regret it each and every day. So don't if you are not interested!"
"But… I really don't have any other..."
"Just think about it for sometime. You will get the answer!" she is right.
I smiled at her and she also smiled, brightly! Oh god she is so cute! I couldn't help but pat her head softly. She giggled when I patted her head. The sound of her giggles are like bells ringing!
I like her, not as a brother, as a man!

Oliver's POV
(Next day)
"Oliver, Esther, come downstairs. Your aunt Bella is here! " mom told us. Esther looked at me confused.
"Its our father's sister." I told her and she nodded.
To be true, I never liked that women. It's obvious that she is behind my father's money. She is a selfish lady and her whole family is selfish.
We went downstairs and aunt Bella came running to me and hugged me tightly. Then she looked at Esther and asked dad "Who is this?"
"She is Esther, my daughter!"he replied and aunt's eyes widened.
"Not like that Bella!" my mom said laughing.
"You adopted her?" she asked
"Yes, but remember she is our own daughter." mom said.
Esther smiled brightly at aunt and greeted her but she didn't even had the manners to act like she heard it! She completely ignored Esther!
Esther gave me a confused look and I shrugged my shoulder!
Well, I expected this!
"Come, let's have dinner!" mom called us. We all had dinner together and it was clear from aunt's expression that she is not happy with Esther sitting with us.

Esther's POV
I was going back to my room to sleep but Aunt Bella called me from behind.
"Esther!"
"Yes aunty!"
"How dare you call me Aunty you trash! Who is your aunt?… So what is your motive? My brother is a fool who would fall for your fake tears! But I am not! "
