Married to my stepbrother boss. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

When my bedroom door opened, I knew it was Kaid. For a man his size, he sure knew how to move silently. I sat cross-legged on the bed with my head against the headrest the moment he walked in. My bags were still packed by the corner, and a few unopened items were scattered everywhere. His eyes swept over the mess before trailing over to me. “What are you still doing here, Sage. Do I have to carry you back to our room this time?” He questioned, walking towards me with his hands in his pockets. “Point of correction. It’s not our room but yours. I don’t want to be in such a filthy place. It’s bad enough I have to deal with you.” I replied, ignoring the way his eyes narrowed dangerously. “Sage, I would have you know that you would get punished severely for that smart mouth of yours.” He warned. “I don’t care. It’s nothing I haven’t had before.” I hissed angrily. “I already sorted out Vivian. Why the attitude now? Just be a good girl and come with me.” He replied with a deep sigh an

“Where are you?” My voice flatlined the moment Vivian picked up the call. I couldn’t go home, not like this. Not when I was this close to losing myself and everything I had planned for the past three years.“I’m home,” Came Vivian’s reply.“On my way,” I responded with a click, shutting the phone down as I changed direction towards Vivian’s villa.Soon, I arrived at Vivian’s villa. As soon as I stepped onto her front porch, her door swung open. She had been expecting me.Her face brightened into an excited smile as she spread her arms to pull me in for a hug. It wasn’t until I had settled into one of our couches and she got busy fetching a bottle of wine and glasses that I noticed what she was wearing.Vivian was out to seduce me tonight, evidently.A deep frown settled in my gaze, but I needed the distraction. She looked beautiful in the cream colored, satin, thin-sleeved nightwear that hugged her curves tightly. Her blonde hair was let loose, but she was wearing makeup.Sage never w

Ever since that night Kaid came back after sleeping with Vivian, nothing remained the same between us. It was as though we had gone back to the first time I got into this house. Only this time, there were no words between us, just silence.Vivian’s words kept replaying in my mind, not to mention those damn images of Kaid naked and spent beside her wouldn’t leave my head.I spent my days in bed, feeling exceptionally tired, and my nights awake, in tears. My child was growing strong within me, but I was more or less a prisoner in his or her father’s house. There was no love here, and it didn’t look like time would make things right.I had finally resigned my fate to tell Kaid about the baby, regardless of how he took it or not. I was tired of having to overthink myself to death at the thought of what he would do. The earlier I knew what his intentions were, the better for us. But every time I thought I dared to speak to him, one look at his cold gaze and I found myself having cold feet.

Kaid has hurt me a lot of times. More times than I could even count. But nothing prepared me for this moment. The raw hatred. It was as though I was seeing him clearly for the first time.“Kaid,” I cried out. My hands were trembling as I clutched my hurting heart. I was breaking. Not just my body, but my soul and my heart.“Kaid, please,”“Go to fucking hell, Sage.” He bellowed and paced the living room. His hand was tangling through his hair in frustration. “Of all the women to have my child, it had to be you!” He groaned so loud, I could hear the pain and anguish behind his words.And all that was directed at me.My eyes flickered to Vivian. She was at the bottom of the stairs, looking at me with a smirk, gloating while she pretended to be concerned for Kaid’s mind.“Kaid darling, my tiger, please calm down. She’s not worth it. She can be all that, but the child is innocent, not corrupt like his mother. Don’t let her get you worked up. I’m sure you’d devise a plan to get your child

A flicker of irritation crossed my face. I had to school my expression to look neutral. Vivian was doing too much , and her presence was adding to my restlessness. It was obvious her reaction towards Sage was more than the dislike stemming from the fact that she was the daughter of the man who had caused so much pain to my family. She was talking, but I could barely hear her. I couldn’t stop thinking about how frightened Sage looked when she got home and saw Vivian with me. If she really wanted to use my baby as a way to get back at me, she should look different. She should look proud, relieved, so why fear? I was having a child. I must admit I wasn’t prepared for one, but the thought of welcoming a mini version of her was already tickling my senses excitedly. “Kaid,” “Kaid, are you even listening?” I vaguely heard someone call my name and frowned slightly before looking up and noticing Vivian was still talking to me. She gave me one of those exasperated looks and pouted, plac
