Shared Obsession: A Dark MMM Romance のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 251 - チャプター 260

Hayden I didn’t even realize when I gave in. Maybe it was Max’s grin, or maybe it was the way Elias smiled, like he’d already known my answer before I opened my mouth. Either way, a few minutes later, I was helping them pack.Elias moved around the house gathering blankets, water bottles, snacks, and a surprisingly large first-aid kit. Max was in charge of handing over whatever was within his reach, though he mostly just got distracted and kept talking about how many stars we’d see from the mountain. I couldn’t help but smile every time his tiny voice echoed through the room.When everything was finally packed, we loaded up the car. The trunk was filled with bags and rolled-up tents, and Max climbed into the back seat beside me, hugging his little stuffed wolf like it was part of the trip too. Elias started the car, the low hum of the engine blending with the music that soon filled the air.The road stretched ahead, long and sunlit, the kind that made you want to roll the windows dow

KyleI’d been standing by the window for so long that the glass had begun to fog from my breath. The sun had dipped below the trees, and the quiet outside carried that strange, empty calm that only came in the evenings. Hayden had left since morning. I’d seen him from this same spot, heading out through the yard, and though I’d told myself it wasn’t my business where he went, I couldn’t help worrying.I was still there, watching the yard through the fading light, when I caught sight of a familiar figure walking back through the path. My heart lifted for a moment. Finally. But something about the way he moved made me lean closer to the window. His steps were uneven, his shoulders trembling slightly. The closer he got, the more wrong it looked. His face was pale,even from this distance, I could see that, and he seemed to be breathing heavily, dragging his feet as though every step hurt.I pushed the window open, ready to call out his name. “Hayden—” I stopped when he suddenly swayed. Fo

MaddoxThe room went silent. Even Tate’s faint smirk faded as the weight of my words sank in. I felt my throat tighten as Kyle looked from me to Hayden, trying to read both our faces.Hayden blinked, clearly caught off guard. “Me?” he asked quietly. “You can’t be serious.”But my stare didn’t waver. “I’ve never been more serious in my life.”Hayden stared at me for a long moment, his brows furrowing as though he hadn’t heard me right. Then he laughed under his breath, shaking his head. “What are you saying, Maddox? Are you drunk or something? This has to be a joke.”I didn’t answer. I just looked at him, waiting for it to sink in.He frowned even deeper, his tone growing sharper. “No, seriously. You didn’t just say that. You can’t possibly mean it.”Before I could respond, Tate, who had been standing quietly by the wall all this while, stepped forward. “He’s serious,” Tate said evenly. “Maddox already signed every document and completed all the formalities. The council approved it thi

HaydenIt had been a full day already, and I still hadn’t said anything. I hadn’t given a final word about what would happen to her—our so-called mother. I could feel Kyle’s uneasiness even without seeing him. He was probably still pacing around, thinking, worrying, and maybe even crying. The kid had always been too soft-hearted for his own good.I was lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling, lost somewhere between anger and exhaustion, when a sudden pounding hit my door. Not a gentle knock—actual banging. I sat up immediately, frowning, and went to open it.The moment I did, I froze.Kyle stood there, his hair messy, eyes glassy, and a half-empty bottle of beer dangling from his hand. The sharp smell hit me before the words did. He wasn’t even steady on his feet. Kyle never drank—ever. So seeing him like that sent a knot straight into my stomach.“Kyle,” I said quietly, catching the wobble in his stance, “are you okay?”He blinked slowly, trying to form a word, but before he could ge

KyleI didn’t even know how long I’d been holding her before I heard the door open. The sound made me freeze instantly. My arms were still wrapped around my mom, my face buried in her shoulder as I tried not to cry again, but when I looked up, my breath caught.Hayden was standing at the door, completely still, staring at us like he’d just seen a ghost. For a moment, I wished the ground would swallow me whole. I knew that look—shock, disbelief, and something darker that he didn’t even try to hide.“Hayden…” I whispered, my voice small. My throat was tight, and I quickly glanced at Mom, who still hadn’t noticed him yet.Panic stirred in my chest. I didn’t want a scene, not after everything that had already happened. I could see the tension in Hayden’s jaw and the way his hand slightly twitched by his side. He didn’t need to say a word. I knew he was angry.I gave him a look, a silent message only brothers could understand. Please… don’t do this now. Don’t yell, don’t snap, not yet. I tr
