MY STEPBROTHER’S OBSESSION : His touch, my sin Chapter Eighteen
YubiChanel is asleep finally, her tiny chest rising and falling in a soft, steady rhythm that I must have watched for ten full minutes before convincing myself she was really down for the night.The police officers had left not long ago. Now the house feels thick, airless, like it’s a swallowing sound.I go down the stairs barefoot, rubbing my hands together for warmth. Maybe it’s exhaustion, maybe it’s the house, or maybe it’s the tension all over this house, but I haven't really eaten anything all day, I needed to eat something. I make it into the kitchen, the house is quiet which is good meaning everyone is asleep. I pull out a plate to serve myself some food. I’m scraping lasagna onto my plate when I hear footsteps approaching light, quick ones. Then Kiari appears from around the corner.I don’t know what I expected. Maybe anger. Maybe cold shoulders. But I definitely did not expect her face to break into the warmest, brightest smile I have ever seen her wear in my presence.“

Trey. I can still hear her voice, sharp and cold, ringing in my head.“She is not yours.”The words should have been a relief. They should have lifted some weight from my chest. But instead, instead they hit me like a punch to the stomach.I can feel my hands trembling at my sides, fingers curling into fists without my permission. My jaw aches from clenching so hard. My whole body feels like it’s on fire, like every nerve ending is screaming at me to do something, anything, but I don’t know what.I watch her walk away, the slight tilt of her shoulders, the way she carries herself like a shield around that fragile little bundle in her arms. My daughter no, not mine, not mine, and yet I feel a strange pull in my chest. Something twisting and knotting itself deep inside, a mix of anger, hurt, and something else. Something I can’t name.I take a step back, then another, my boots clicking softly against the corridor floor. My mind is spinning, each thought stabbing me in a different way.
MY STEPBROTHER’S OBSESSION : His touch, my sin Chapter Sixteen
YubiI could feel my pulse hammering in my ears the moment his words well, his presence hit me. Trey. Standing there his hands in his pockets, his arms crossed, he is leaning in my old doorway, just like he used to, staring at my daughter like she was some impossible puzzle piece he was trying to figure out. Something snapped inside me, some fragile cord that had been tied too tightly for a year.“Stop standing there,” I said under my breath, barely loud enough for him to hear, and immediately regretted the sharpness. But I didn’t care. Not anymore.He blinked, just once, and his eyes flicked toward me. That slow, unreadable stare that always made my skin crawl and my stomach do flips. I swallowed, my hands tightening around Chanel’s little blanket on the bed.Then, before I could talk myself out of it, I acted, I immediately got up and walked to him, I grabbed his arm firmly, tugging him towards me, careful not to wake up the baby. I slowly closed the bedroom door behind us, making

YubiI can feel Trey’s stare burning into the back of my neck long after I turn away from him. My pulse is already too high, too sharp, too familiar like I have been thrown backward in time to the girl I used to be. The girl who couldn’t breathe when he walked into a room.But now I’m not that girl. Now I’m someone’s mother.Chanel’s little sigh pulls me out of my head, and I adjust my grip on her carrier. She is asleep, her cheeks soft and perfect, her little fists curled into themselves like she’s clutching dreams.Michael looks like he wants to walk me up or say something comforting, but he is overwhelmed, distracted, and honestly I’m barely holding it together myself.“I will take her upstairs,” I say quietly.Before I can move, Trey takes a step forward. “I can, let me help you.” His voice is strained, too calm to be real.I stop him without even thinking. “No.”with just that one word, it comes out cold, more cold than I intended.His jaw flexes, but he stays where he is.“I will

YubiI decide to ignore him, I know all trey wants to do is get under my skin but I will not let him, so I just ignore him. "Did you tell her?" he asks Michael, before he sits down. But the way Michael looks at him I can tell whatever he is asking about he had not told me yet. "Told me what?" I ask confused. "Nothing." Trey jumps in quickly. But I know him too well, he is fidgeting. "What's going on, what are you not telling me?" The silence after my question stretches too long, so long it becomes its own answer.I feel the panic rise slowly, like cold water filling my lungs. I look between Trey and Michael, hoping one of them will speak up, hoping someone will tell me what's really going on.They don’t, instead, they exchange a knowing almost fearful look.A look that confirms everything inside me is right, something is definitely wrong, something bad, something they don’t want me to know, they know more about my mom's disappearance.“Guys,” I whisper again, my voice cracking. “W

YubiMichael’s face shifts, like he is bracing himself for something he doesn’t want to say. He adjusts Chanel in his arms even though she is already fast asleep against his chest.“Michael,” I whisper, a tremor running through my voice. “Did something happen to Mom?”His eyes flick up to mine. There is something there, something dark that makes the blood drain from my face.“Not exactly,” he says slowly.“What does that mean?” The words are barely audible. “Either something happened or it didn’t, right? So what are you trying to tell me?”He exhales, long and shaky, the kind of breath someone takes when they know the next words will break something.I lean forward, the couch cushion dipping under my hands, my heartbeat loud in my ears.“Michael,” I say again. “Where is she?if something has happened to her, I need to know.”He finally meets my eyes and I see it, fear is written all over his face. “Your mother has been missing for three days now Yubi.” he finally says. “What?” It co
