ログイン"Mommy... I'm so sorry if I've disappointed you but I just fell in love. I love him more than my own life." The confession left my lips shakily, but it was the complete truth.
No matter how painful everything had become, no matter how much judgment and anger surrounded us now, my feelings for Theo never changed. If anything, this entire situation only made me realize even more how deeply I truly loved him.

"Mommy... I'm so sorry if I've disappointed you but I just fell in love. I love him more than my own life." The confession left my lips shakily, but it was the complete truth.No matter how painful everything had become, no matter how much judgment and anger surrounded us now, my feelings for Theo never changed. If anything, this entire situation only made me realize even more how deeply I truly loved him.Mommy stared at me with tear-filled eyes, her expression full of pain and disbelief. Then, after a long silence, she asked the question she had clearly been terrified to ask."Tell me, Elyssa. H-Has anything already happened between the two of you?" Her voice trembled weakly.I immediately saw the worry on her face. But more than that, I saw the desperate hope in her eyes that I would deny it. She wanted me to tell her no. She wanted reassurance that things had not gone that far between Theo and me.But I couldn't lie to her anymore. We had alrea
The intense fight between Uncle Greg and Theo finally came to an end, but not without leaving deep wounds behind. Uncle Greg eventually ordered Theo to leave the mansion after their heated fight.Theo tried to take me with him. Even after everything that happened, even after being beaten and condemned by his own father, he still reached for me as if he couldn't bear to leave me behind. But Mommy stopped me before I could even move toward him.I wasn't alarmed by it. Deep inside, I knew Theo and I would still find a way to see each other once we returned to the Capital. There were countless ways for us to meet, and our parents knew they couldn't completely stop us from finding each other again.The only reason I allowed myself to stay behind was because of Mommy. I was worried about her. No matter how much I loved Theo, I also knew my mother deserved answers. I knew we needed to talk, even if I dreaded every second of it. I owed her the truth after hiding such a
"What got into your head, Theo? You even seduced Elyssa?! Do you have no regard for your Aunt Allie's and my feelings? How could you do something this disgraceful?!" he shouted furiously.Every word he threw at us felt sharp and painful but despite the tension and fury surrounding us, Theo did not back down."We love each other, Dad! We know this isn't something you would easily accept, but we can't control how we feel! We tried to stop it. We tried to ignore it, but we couldn't! Do you think this was easy for us too?! Do you think hiding this relationship from all of you didn't hurt us?!" he said loudly, his voice filled with frustration and desperation.Before anyone could react, Uncle Greg suddenly grabbed Theo harshly by the collar. I screamed in terror the moment his fist slammed against Theo's face."Theo!" I cried out hysterically.I immediately rushed toward him, my entire body shaking with panic as Theo staggered slightly from the im
I clearly saw the shock on Mommy's face the moment she opened the door and caught us in the middle of the kiss. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and her hand immediately flew to her chest as if the sight before her had physically hurt her.Theo and I quickly pulled away from each other. Panic instantly flooded through me, and without thinking, I rushed toward Mommy, terrified by the way she looked so pale and shaken."W-What does this mean?!" she shouted, her voice trembling loudly through the room."M-Mommy, please... let me explain," I stammered.My voice was almost hoarse from nervousness, and I could barely breathe properly. My heart pounded violently against my chest while tears started to quickly blurred my vision from fear and anxiety."What more is there to explain? I already saw you kissing!" she cried out. She took a deep breath as though she was struggling to steady herself."You were step-siblings! Why would you do some
Even if Mommy and Uncle Greg were downstairs by the pool, any of the maids could have easily spotted Theo walking straight into my bedroom without hesitation.I quickly tried to push him away from me, my heart racing nervously, but he was far too strong and stubborn. No matter how much I struggled, he only tightened his arms around me until I was completely trapped in his embrace."Theo, what are you doing?! Why did you just barge into my room like this? Someone might see us!" I exclaimed in panic. But instead of worrying, he only held me more gently."I'm so sorry, baby. Did I upset you that much?" he murmured softly, his voice filled with concern as he caressed my back soothingly.It was obvious he completely ignored my fear about us getting caught."You are so annoying! I was peacefully reading my book and you just had to ruin it by getting it all wet! I already told you I didn't want to swim or join you in the pool." I complained with a pout, s
It was a peaceful and relaxing Sunday, and we spent the entire day simply unwinding at the mansion.By afternoon, Mommy decided to prepare a barbecue by the poolside. The warm sunlight reflected beautifully against the water while the delicious smell of grilled food filled the air.Mommy stood by the grill with one of the maids helping her, while Uncle Greg and Theo were already in the pool, cooling themselves off from the heat. Since neither of our parents had any important plans that day, they chose to spend the weekend relaxing with us.For a while, everything felt surprisingly light and normal. Uncle Greg and Theo were laughing loudly in the pool like two mischievous boys rather than father and son. They kept splashing each other, joking around, and competing over the most childish things. Their laughter echoed around the pool area, making Mommy shake her head fondly while she continued grilling.Meanwhile, I stayed comfortably seated on one of
"We can be ourselves here. We can show each other how we really feel, no holding back. I'm so happy, Elyssa. Are you happy too?" He turned me around to face him, his hands gentle on my shoulders.I smiled and leaned in a little closer. I looked right into his eyes. They were warm and full
Summer ended, and as I'd planned, I left for college in the Capital. My mom and Uncle Greg drove me all the way there to get me settled into the condo they'd prepared for me. Mom stayed to help organize my things and arrange my necessities, and neither of them would head back home until they were c
If love is not real, then what am I feeling for him? Why do I ache with missing him when he is away?Why does my heart race so fast I can barely breathe when he is near, or even when I just think about him?I know this is not obsession. It is deeper than attraction, stro
"I did that? Shit, I thought that was just a dream," he laughed. I could see recognition finally starting to dawn on his face."But I never mistook you for anyone else," he said. His eyes were growing serious. "Even when I thought it was just a dream, you were the one I saw. The girl I imagined lyi
