Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 48: Untouched Maiden

’This can’t be happening. There’s no way I’m letting him sleep in my room. I have to find a way to get rid of him without Grandpa noticing,’ Natalie thought, her mind racing.

She turned to look at Justin, who stood in the doorway with his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his black pants, his gaze was fixed on her bed.

’Don’t tell me he actually plans to sleep in my bed!’

In a flash, she positioned herself between him and the bed, her arms spread wide as if her small frame could somehow hide that large bed.

"What are you staring at my bed for?" Her eyes narrowed at him with suspicion. "Don’t tell me you’re really planning to sleep here. If that’s the case, let me warn you..."

"I was just wondering why you’ve arranged the bed as if it’s meant for two people when you sleep alone," he interrupted her. He was curious about it even when he entered her room for the first time.

"That’s none of your business," she shot back, her voice tense. "And don’t even think about getting on it. You’re not welcome in my room, let alone in my bed."

His words, ’Anyone but you’ could never leave her mind. The man who despised her so much didn’t deserve to be anywhere near her, let alone in her personal space.

Justin looked at her, his expression calm, though the displeasure in his eyes was unmistakable.

’It was just a simple question I asked. Why is she acting so defensive, like I’m going to do something inappropriate with her in the middle of the night? For God’s sake, she’s my step-sister. I could easily sleep on the floor, but she’s acting like I’m desperate to get into her bed,’ he felt frustration. ’Such an ungrateful woman when I am simply helping her with grandpas’ sake or I wouldn’t be here in this tiny home of hers.’

"I’d rather sleep in a coffin than share your bed. I was just curious, that’s all." He declared with a straight face, his eyes mocking her.
