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
My Steprother's Secret Obsession Chapter 228: Blackmail
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

"It feels like they're never going to stop. They just keep making things harder for you, cornering you from every direction."The moment those words left my mouth, my voice finally broke. The tears I had been desperately trying to hold back for so long suddenly spilled freely down my cheeks."No!" We are not breaking up." Theo said fiercely, almost angrily.Before I could even say another word, he immediately pulled me into his arms and held me tightly against him. And that was all it took for me to completely fall apart. I burst into uncontrollable sobs, clutching onto his shirt while burying my face against his chest."I just hate seeing you suffer like this. You're being pushed to your absolute limit, all because we chose to stand by our relationship. You've never had to endure or live through this kind of hardship before." I cried brokenly between sobs.Theo tightened his embrace around me even more, as though he was afraid I would disapp
My Steprother's Secret Obsession Chapter 226: Cost of Love
Lately, Theo had been trying so hard to stay strong in front of me, pretending everything would eventually work out. But hearing him now, sounding so worn down and hopeless, made me realize just how much pressure he had truly been carrying alone.Fear crept into my chest. What problem was he facing this time? What else had Uncle Greg done to him?"Alright, man... fine. Yeah... I understand." Theo muttered weakly into the phone sounding so defeated and then he ended the call.For a few seconds, silence filled the room.Then Theo released a long, heavy sigh, and I watched his shoulders slowly slump as though another piece of him had just given up.It hurt me deeply seeing him like that. This was no longer the confident, composed Theo everyone admired before. This was a man slowly being crushed by the people who were supposed to support him.Theo quickly turned around after sensing my presence behind him, and surprise immediately flashed

After Theo and I made our relationship public, everything changed almost overnight and our parents made it painfully clear that they would do everything they could to separate us.Uncle Greg's anger toward Theo was merciless. Without hesitation, he stripped Theo of his position as CEO of the company, as though all his years of hard work and dedication meant absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, I was allowed to remain as CHRO, but they reassigned me to another branch far away from the Capital.I knew exactly what they were trying to do. They wanted distance to destroy us. They believed that if they sent me far enough away from Theo, eventually our relationship would fall apart on its own. But if they truly thought I would quietly allow that to happen, then they underestimated how deeply I loved him.I never signed any document approving management's decision. Deep inside, I had already decided that I would rather resign than allow them to separate us throug

The thought, hot and delicious, flashed through my mind. If I truly intended to seduce him, to unleash the full force of my allure, he would probably ravish me then and there, utterly consumed, loving me with such fervent intensity until my legs trembled and I couldn't possibly stand.That

I fell silent, digesting his words. He had a point, but still, he was overreacting. I always made sure my doors were locked tight."I know, but I want you to know that I'm extra careful, okay?" I conceded, trying to soothe his anxiety."How about I send one or two securi
My Steprother's Secret Obsession Chapter 90: Morning Longings
"Good morning, baby," Theo's voice, warm and sweet, drifted through the phone, pulling me gently from the edges of sleep. I blinked, still nestled in the soft embrace of my bed, the morning light just beginning to paint the room in soft hues.A wide smile stretched across my face as I saw his face
