Lahat ng Kabanata ng MY TRIPLET HYBRID STEPBROTHERS WANT ME: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

~ CASSIANOnce in my room, I was on the verge of taking off my shirt when it suddenly occurred to me that neither Nyra nor Rylan had anything to eat.The whole day had been so eventful that they all missed dinner. In fact, practically everyone in the house skipped dinner after we found out what happened to Rylan.And knowing Rylan, he would die first before he complained about the worms in his stomach to Nyra.Nyra on the other hand, would probably feel too self-conscious to excuse herself for food."Those kids," I sighed, fixing back my shirt. The duty fell on me to get them food.I then went back out of my room and headed down to the kitchen.As I got there, the sweet smell of freshly made chicken soup tickled my nostrils, pushing back my thoughts until a smile sat on my face.—Food was indeed the key to happiness. A filled stomach was a fulfilled life."Your highness..." The maids giggled the moment they saw me approach.My eyes moved to them and my smile stretched into a smirk as

~ NYRAMy body instantly froze as Ried's words echoed thunderously in my head.My senses felt jumbled and I suddenly believed I had once again imagined what didn’t happen.But his next words threw me into shock as it occurred to me that I wasn’t imagining anything at all..."So, having said that, I am going to leave the rest of the decision for you to make," he beamed like he was sharing the best news in the world.It was really happening... I whispered as I felt my lungs begin to vibrate in their place."Father, what other decision can we possibly make when it’s looking like you have done most of the job yourself?" Cassian hissed, and I could see the shock that also reflected in his eyes.But Ried's smile only brightened as he clapped his hands. "Yes, you may say that. But the decision to either share her or keep her for only one of you solely rests on you to decide!"At his response, the tension in the room thickened further. I could feel the weight pressing down against my lungs, f

~ CASSIANI had no idea what Sylver was up to. He looked calm. Too calm.Yet we all knew nothing that spelt calm could be associated with him.From the way Nyra shook in my arms, I could tell he did something. He was up to something—and whatever it was, I didn’t like it.The whole situation was not helping. Especially not the fact that our father had placed this burden of an order over us.What was worse; he had to put it at a time like this. A time when Sylver’s condition was flickering... when Sylver’s state only got more suspicious.The way he stared back at me as I took Nyra from his arms was dark. It wasn’t his dark side completely, but I could feel the unsettling aura as it wrapped around us like a plague.And somehow, I had to deal with everything. All at once."You know," Sylver growled, a low disturbing sound as he moved his finger between Rylan and I— "she doesn’t belong to just you two."Nyra stiffened in my arms and I felt it too. But I just stayed quiet and watched him."

~NYRAAs Danielle left the room, I couldn't help but hate myself for every ill feeling I have had toward her.From the very first time we met, she never failed to show her kindness and innocence, yet I hated her. I kept thinking about the cruelest of things when it came to her... And in the end she only proved that she truly was kind and innocent.I envied her. Hated her. Stayed jealous of her relationship with the triplets. I hated the way she freely laughed with all of them... And today, she gave it all up, for me...A shaky breath left my lips as I slowly turned to the triplets. Now that Danielle was gone, it was left to them to trace out the next path for us.But as my eyes landed on Sylver, an involuntary shiver ran down my spine. I could clearly remember the words he whispered into my ears when he came after me in the room.It was a threat. A threat for me to keep watching my back because he was going to have his revenge for what I did to him.A threat to make me pay for humilia

~DANIELLEMy heart was literally drumming in my throat as I stared at the woman. I could feel every part of me shaking as her offer replayed in my head.I tried to process it. I wanted to weigh the options I had and the consequences of each, but her presence made it hard.It was like trying to eat while a bone remained stuck in your throat. Nothing went through.I swallowed hard, hoping to push away the feeling and focus on what was happening, but there was nothing.Yet, as all of this happened, the woman stood there, watching me—waiting for my next words.My heart hammered hard, and I knew that whatever this was about couldn’t be good. I barely knew this strange woman with white hair.I had never seen her before or heard about her. And another problem was the fact that my body suddenly acted like I wasn’t the one in control.Ideally, I should have been scared. I should have shrieked the moment she appeared. I should have run. But I didn’t.—Though I did feel fear, it didn’t last. It
