"Please don't push me away. I really miss you, I'm so sorry..." He whispered against my hair, holding me like he was afraid to let go.

I struggled against him, shoving him back with more force than I thought I had. He let me go easily, looking broken as I turned and marched to my room. I locked the door behind me, leaning against it as tears flooded my eyes once more.

He followed me to the door and started knocking, but I didn't move to open it. Feeling utterly weak, I went to my bed and lay dow

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 233: Ending

    "You don't know that? If we continue this relationship and keep disobeying them, her condition could get worse. I love you, Theo but I love my mother too. I'm sorry. You can hate me for this if you want, but I really can't do this anymore. Let's end our relationship."I forced myself to look directly into his eyes despite how much it hurt. Fresh tears rolled endlessly down my face."No, I won't agree to this." Theo said immediately. His voice sounded desperate now.Then suddenly, to my shock, he slowly dropped to his knees in front of me."Please, baby. Have pity on me. I can't survive losing you again." he begged brokenly while looking up at me with tear-filled eyes.That sight completely shattered my heart. Seeing Theo kneel before me like that almost made me give in instantly. The man who once carried himself with so much pride and confidence was now begging me not to leave him.It destroyed me inside but despite how much pity and l

    "Baby, please. I already told you. We can get through this. I'll take care of everything..." he said weakly as he looked devastated.Before I could stop him, he suddenly pulled me into his arms. The moment he hugged me, I almost completely fell apart. His embrace felt warm, safe, comforting, exactly like home.And for one painful second, all I wanted was to stay there forever and forget everything else but I know I couldn't.I couldn't allow myself to weaken now. So despite how much it hurt me, I forcefully pushed him away."I said I don't want this anymore! Why are you being so persistent?!" I shouted violently.Theo staggered slightly from how hard I pushed him, but he still looked at me with disbelief and pain."I know something happened. You wouldn't act like this for no reason. Did they talk to you? What did they say?" he demanded. His patience was clearly starting to wear thin now.I quickly looked away because I couldn't

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 231: Agony

    It felt as though my entire world had collapsed by the time I returned to Theo's penthouse. I wasn't myself anymore. While standing inside the elevator, I felt completely numb, like my body was moving on its own while my mind remained trapped back in the hospital room with Mommy's desperate cries echoing inside my head.Everything felt unbearably heavy. My chest ached so much it became difficult to breathe properly, and my thoughts were so tangled with fear, guilt, and heartbreak that I could barely think straight anymore.I didn't even realize how long the ride up to the penthouse had taken because my mind was elsewhere the entire time. All I could remember was Mommy lying weakly on that hospital bed. Her trembling voice, her painful gasps for air and the promise I had made.The promise that shattered me completely.By the time I reached the penthouse door, I felt emotionally exhausted and empty inside. I was just about to tap the key card against the scanner wh

    Then after what felt like forever, the doctor finally stepped out of the ICU. Uncle Greg immediately approached him."What happened to my wife, Doctor?" he asked anxiously. The doctor removed his mask before answering seriously."She suffered a mild heart attack caused by severe stress and excessive worrying. Didn't I already explain before that emotional stress is extremely dangerous for her condition?"My entire body went cold hearing those words. The doctor's words struck me like a painful slap across the face. I felt my chest tighten as guilt completely consumed me.Slowly, I noticed Uncle Greg turn toward me and cast a sharp, resentful glance in my direction. I immediately looked away, unable to bear the accusation in his eyes bcause deep inside, I knew I truly was responsible for this."How is she now? Is she alright?" Uncle Greg quickly asked again."She's stable for now. We're going to admit her for several days so we can closely mon

    "Mom. Please tell me you're joking..." My voice shook violently.My chest tightened painfully as dread slowly consumed me. How long had she been hiding this from me? Why didn't she tell me sooner?"You know I would never joke about something like this, Elyssa. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry, but now I have no choice anymore. My doctors strictly warned me to avoid stress and emotional strain as much as possible but ever since I found out about you and Theo, my condition has gotten much worse. The doctor said if this continues, the stress could trigger a heart attack and I might not survive it."Tears slipped down her cheeks as she took another shaky breath. I felt my knees weaken hearing those words. I stared at her helplessly while tears blurred my vision."So please, Elyssa, If you still care about me as your mother, leave Theo. Do this for me so I can finally have peace of mind and continue living." Her voice trembled w

    One afternoon, I was startled when the doorbell suddenly rang throughout the penthouse. At first, I thought it might be Theo returning home early, but when I checked the security camera near the main entrance, my entire body froze. It was Mom and my chest instantly tightened with panic.Theo wasn't home at the time because he had gone out to meet a friend who had offered him a possible position at his company. I was alone in the penthouse, completely unprepared for Mom's sudden visit.For a few seconds, I just stood there staring at the monitor, unable to move. I hesitated to open the door because I knew exactly what would happen once she realized I was already living here with Theo. Then I suddenly heard her voice from outside."Open up, Elyssa. I know you're in there."The firmness in her voice made my stomach twist nervously.I never expected that she already knew I was staying in Theo's penthouse. Slowly, I took a deep breath, trying to s

    "Yeah. He misunderstood everything. He thinks I was flirting with Diego, that I wanted what happened," I explained. The pain of his doubt still fresh."Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. If we hadn't pushed you to go to the club instead of the park, none of this would have happened. You and your bo

    Hot tears streamed down my face as I packed up the steak, salmon, and pasta. I didn't bother wiping them away. They just kept coming as I washed each plate and utensil. The clatter of dishes echoed through the quiet condo.Was his anger really this deep? That he'd leave me standing here li

    The next morning, Theo was waiting to drive me to school. Not a single word passed between us the entire way there.I tried to break the silence with a gentle good morning and small talk but he remained distant, his eyes fixed on the road, clearly not in the mood to speak.I k

    "They invited me out of nowhere. We'd planned to go to that new themed park, but there were too many people. They just changed their minds and decided on the club instead. I know I should have told you. It just slipped away from me in all the chaos, and I'm so, so sorry."The guilt washed over me
