Christina

Two Months Ago

“Hunter, please take care of Chris. She’s very reckless,” Mom said, her voice warm but firm.

She was dragging her trolley toward the door. Uncle Carter was loading bags into the trunk, already whistling for her to hurry up.

“Don’t worry, Auntie.” Hunter’s hand landed heavy on my shoulder. Possessive. Like I was already his.

“You two enjoy Spain. Don’t ruin your trip worrying about us.” I said as I gave a tight hug to my mom.

But inside, my pulse was racing. I was too eager for them to leave.

Because when it was just Hunter and me, everything would change.

We don’t have to sneak around anymore. No hushed whispers. No stolen kisses in dark hallways. No pretending to hate each other at the dinner table.

For four whole days, we wouldn’t have to hide. We’d sleep tangled in his sheets without fear. We’d shower together.

And fuck and kiss anywhere without worrying about getting caught.

Mom kissed my forehead. “And you—don’t trouble your big brother too much. Liste

  • My Stepbrother Got Me Pregnant   Chapter twenty-one

    ChristinaMy gaze hovered almost hundreds of parcels from the restaurant I worked in.“I saw you at the airport when you were carrying the parcel,” Hunter said. His smirk faint but his eyes restless. “I kept ordering since morning, hoping you’d come. I thought you wouldn’t.”My brows furrowed. Before I could respond, he cupped my face with both hands and forced my eyes into his.“Chris, I love you. I finally realized how much I love you. I can’t stay away anymore.” His pupils were dilated.His voice was low.I shoved at his wrists, but his grip didn’t budge.“How many times have you already said this to me?” My chuckle was brittle. Hollow.My heart ached every time he said he loved me, because I remembered—he never meant it.Those words were always empty. Meaningless.“This time I mean every word I say..” He drew me closer until I could feel the heat of his breath. “I even found a place. A country that allows marriage between step-siblings. We would flee there.”My heart pounded.Once

  • My Stepbrother Got Me Pregnant   Chapter Twenty

    Hunter Twelve Hours AgoVodka tasted like apology and punishment all at once. It was the only thing keeping me alive these days. I poured it down my throat until the burn finally blurred everything into a numb gray. A week since I came back from Auckland and nothing was the same. Not the house, not my appetite, not the way my chest ached like I’d been hollowed out.There wasn’t a single second I didn’t miss her.Chris.I tried all the stupid remedies. Sleeping in her sheets. Re-reading the stupid notes she left on the nightstand. Swallowing the smell of her sweater until my head buzzed with it.But nothing gave me the peace her body gave me. I couldn’t sleep unless my legs were tangled with hers.So I drank. Every night, I drank until my body went numb and my mind blurred. And still, when I woke up in the middle of the night, my hand would reach for her side of the bed. Empty. Always empty.The silence mocked me.She was gone. And she would never come back. Reality screamed even t

  • My Stepbrother Got Me Pregnant   Chapter Nineteen

    As Dr. Sophie brought the injection closer to my arm. My body jolted. Panic crashed over me. The needle glinted under the white lights and I screamed.“Stop!”The doctor froze mid-motion. She pulled the needle away.“I—I don’t want to get an abortion.” My voice trembled. But my decision wasn't. I pushed myself up from the bed and clutched the hospital file to my chest like a shield.“What?” she blinked in disbelief.“I want to keep the baby,” I whispered. My words spilled faster than my tears.Her brows furrowed. “Are you sure? Christina, this decision—”“I’m sure.” My voice was firmer now. “It’s my baby. Mine.”When I stepped out of the hospital, my hands were trembling around a paper bag of vitamin supplements and folic acid. My brain screamed at me about society. The shame society was going to throw at me. But my heart whispered louder. I’ll protect him. I’ll protect us.Back at my dorm, I found Shasha and Lena were having their nap. I changed quickly and sat on the bed, starin

  • My Stepbrother Got Me Pregnant   Chapter Eighteen

    ChristinaIt had only been a week since Hunter vanished from my life, and yet his ghost still clung to me like a second skin.“Chris…” Shasha’s voice broke through the fog. The door smacked open. I quickly wiped my mouth and rushed out.She and Lena were standing with grocery bags in their arms. They stared at me wide-eyed.“Are you okay?” Lena frowned. Her eyes darted from the half-eaten noodles to my trembling hands.I forced a bitter smile. Even though my stomach was in knots. “Yeah. Just… didn’t sit well.”Their worried stares made my skin prickle. I hated being looked at like that. Fragile and breakable. I tossed the noodles into the trash.“Here,” Shasha dug into the bag and pulled out a packet of sour candies. “I swear by these when I feel sick. Try them.”Normally, I hated sour things. But the moment I ripped one open and let the tang hit my tongue, my chest heaved with relief.It was wrong. This craving. This sickness. This… feeling. Panic clawed at my throat. I couldn’t b

    It had been a week since Hunter left.A week since his shadow stopped chasing me.A week since I tried to convince myself I could finally breathe again.That’s what I felt after his disappearance from the cafe.I loaded my bags into the back of the taxi and forced my hands not to tremble.“Chris, I wish you could stay a few more days.” Auntie whispered. She pulled me into her arms like she wanted to stop me from leaving. “It felt so good having you here. You became just like a family.” I swallowed the lump in my throat. “I already extended my stay ten days longer than planned. You were too kind to me. But I’ll visit on weekends. I promise.”When Auntie was around, the ache of missing Mom dulled. She had no idea how much I clung to that.“This is your home,” she kissed my hand. “Come back anytime. Anyway… Asher’s always here. He’ll look after you.”She winked, and my cheeks warmed despite the heaviness in my chest.I smiled and nodded. “Take care, Auntie.”The cab rattled to life and
