Your mom married a man who lived in Japan. That's why she decided you wouldn't meet your new stepfather and stepbrother until you move there with her. Today, she was introduced you to them and their wildly large house, modern and chic.

"(Name), this is your stepfather, and this is your stepbrother Riki."

Riki looked like he could eat you alive, the way he was looking at you, and he looked like he'd enjoy it. He was 17, you had just turned 16, so he was in college and you were in high school.
