Even the smallest gestures carried meaning. We shared the same utensils without thinking, and there were moments when he would lift a bite to my lips, watching me closely as I ate, only to lean in and steal a soft kiss right after, as if he simply couldn't help himself.

I found myself smiling more than I realized. This was something we used to do before. The playful teasing, the quiet intimacy, the way we could turn something as simple as breakfast into something warm and unforgettable

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 298: Union

    "I know words can never fully express how deeply I love you. No matter how carefully I choose them, they will always fall short. So instead of giving you only words, I offer you my life. I offer you every action, every sacrifice and every effort I make from this day until my last breath as proof that this love is real. You are the first woman I have ever loved this way and with every part of my soul, I know you will be the last. I love you so much, my wife and please, never forget that, not for a single day of your life.Before I could respond, he once again reached up and gently brushed away the endless tears streaming down my cheeks. They were tears of overwhelming happiness. Tears born from every struggle we had endured. And now, standing before him as his bride, I knew every one of those battles had been worth it.The moment the priest finally pronounced us husband and wife, Theo immediately closed the distance between us. His hands cupped my face gently then

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 297: Vows

    Everything felt magical. Sacred and perfect. I tried to memorize every detail. The sound of the ocean, the warmth of Theo's hands holding mine, the way the sunlight illuminated his face and the sight of our friends smiling through their tears. I wanted to remember everything because this was one of the happiest moments of my life.When I looked into Theo's eyes, I could hardly believe any of it was real. There was so much love there, so much devotion. He never looked away from me. It was as though I was the only person in the world the only woman he could see and the only one he would ever want.And suddenly, I found myself thinking about how strange life truly was. Who would have imagined that the man I once disliked so much would become the love of my life? Who would have thought that the man who had once been my stepbrother would one day become my husband?We had endured so much for this love. Judgment, heartbreak, separation, pain and sacrifice. Yet somehow,

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 296: Wedding

    We decided to hold our wedding two months later, at twilight, beneath a sky painted in soft shades of pink, gold, and lavender.It was an intimate beach ceremony, officiated by a kind priest from a nearby town. It was not extravagant or grand by society's standards, nor was it the lavish wedding many people might have expected from someone like Theo, but it was ours.Every detail had been chosen with love and care, and despite having only a short time to prepare, it was exactly the kind of wedding we had always dreamed of. Simple, meaningful and perfect.I wore a white ruffled beach dress that I had custom-made at a small dress shop in town. The moment I saw it hanging on the mannequin, I knew it was the one.The dress fell just below my knees and was made of layers upon layers of soft, flowing tulle that danced with every movement. Delicate off-shoulder ruffles framed my shoulders, giving it a romantic and effortless beauty. It was elegant without

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 295: Forever

    "I want the whole world to know that you are mine and that I am yours. I want us to stand before God and promise each other that no matter what happens, no matter what challenges come our way, we will continue choosing one another every single day for the rest of our lives. I love you more than I could ever explain. You are my greatest happiness, my greatest blessing and my home. So please, marry this man and promote my status from being your boyfriend to becoming your husband."The ocean breeze stirred around us, carrying his words straight into my heart. My heart felt so full that it almost hurt. The happiness inside me was overwhelming. It poured through every part of my body until I thought I might burst from it.I had never expected this. Even though we had already agreed to stay together and build our family, marriage had never truly been something I focused on. After everything we had gone through, legal titles and formalities had seemed insignificant compared t

    "I feel exactly the same," I whispered. My voice trembled."Every day feels brighter than the last. As long as I'm with you and Theodore, I don't need anything else and I'm so glad this is the life we chose." I said as I smiled through my tears.For a while, neither of us spoke again. The sun continued sinking lower toward the horizon. The sky blazed with color. Gold, orange, crimson and purple. It was one of the most beautiful sunsets I had ever seen. I became completely absorbed in it. So absorbed, in fact, that I barely noticed Theo gently squeezing my hand.At first, I thought nothing of it. Then I felt his finger moving slowly across my palm, tracing something. Curious, I remained quiet and pretended not to notice. Letter by letter, slowly and carefully.I concentrated on the movement of his fingertip. Trying to understand what he was writing. The realization came gradually. One letter then another until finally, the message became clear. " I love yo

  • My Steprother's Secret Obsession   Chapter 293: Sunset

    That afternoon, Theo invited me to take a walk along the shore so we could watch the sunset together.I immediately agreed. Ever since I had first arrived in Pattaya, watching the sunset had become one of my favorite things to do. No matter how many times I saw it, I never grew tired of it.In fact, it was one of the main reasons I had chosen this beach house in the first place. The sunsets here were breathtaking. Every evening, the sky transformed into a masterpiece of gold, orange, pink, and violet, stretching endlessly above the sea. The sight always left me speechless, as though nature itself was painting something beautiful just for us.Theo and I walked side by side along the shoreline, our feet sinking lightly into the sand as the waves rolled gently onto the beach. Neither of us spoke. The silence between us was comfortable and peaceful. The only sounds were the rhythmic crashing of the waves and the distant cries of seabirds soaring above the water. The

    I cried the entire ride back to the South. The moment the taxi pulled away from the hotel, the tears I had been trying so hard to hold back finally burst out uncontrollably.I sat there in silence, covering my mouth with trembling hands as sobs kept escaping my chest one after anothe

    I could no longer pretend to care how I looked in front of him. I knew my eyes were swollen and red from crying, my face exhausted from waiting, but I did not care anymore. All that mattered was getting through to him, even just for a moment. I needed to tell him about the child I was carryi

    I stared blankly down at the useless key card resting in my hand while a heavy painful feeling spread slowly through my chest. I did not understand why it hurt this much.Maybe deep inside a part of me still believed that no matter how angry he was or how badly I had hurt him there w

    “By the way Mom, I will not be staying long. I need to go back to the South today.” I said gently.Mommy’s brows furrowed immediately in surprise.“But why? You only arrived last night.” she asked quickly sounding truly alarmed.“I just came to greet Uncle Greg fo
