Betrayed After Buying My Boyfriend a Hearing Aid: My Stepbrother's Shocking Move

To buy Brendan a hearing aid, I worked three jobs a day.

When my step-brother, Julian, found out, his eyes darkened, sharp and intense. "You're working yourself to death for some guy. Are you planning on moving in with him?"

I sneered, "None of your business."

Later, I overheard Brendan talking to his roommate.

"Just pretending to be deaf to mess with that idiot. His measly cash? Who even cares about that, seriously, haha."

"He's pretty, I'll give him that. But I'm not into guys."

The guys burst into laughter. Someone asked him, "What if Alex finds out?"
