Lahat ng Kabanata ng Married to my stepbrother boss.: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

“Kaid, calm down. Everything will be alright. I’m sure it’s nothing serious. You know Sage is always dramatic,” She spoke, causing me to stop my pacing to look at her. She took a step back, seeing the darkness in my eyes. I was furious. How could she be so unsympathetic? “There was so much blood, Vivian. She could never fake that.” I stopped to look at Vivian, and she shrugged.“I’m just saying. She has always been very dramatic. She probably had this planned just in case you aw through her nasty plan the first time,” She continued.I stopped pacing while my gaze went back to the door of the surgery room. My heart beating in fear at the unknown.Please let her be alright. I said a silent prayer and took a seat, placing my head in my hands while my mind hunted me with the events that transpired. Suddenly, something shifted inside me, just as when the doctor came out. I didn’t wait for him to walk to me; I rushed to meet him hastily, with my heart in my eyes.There was no denying th

Morning came quickly. I couldn’t grab a wink of sleep, not when I was worried sick after Sage’s last night’s near brush with death twice. I wanted to be awake if anything happened.I spoke to her all night. Telling her random things and later, personal things. Things I didn’t expect her to remember. They were ramblings of how my heart felt with her, which was more real. Realer than the walls I had put up. Walls, I realized, had crumbled. Every one of my actions towards her had been to get a grip on my control over those walls.My control had slipped a long time ago, but I was too stubborn to admit it. To admit that she had changed me in ways I never imagined, and it scared me.I had been acting out based on that fear. Letting go simply felt like a betrayal. I was betraying my mother and my sister. I would be betraying the promises I made to them. Promising that their killer would never go scot free. And here I was, already falling for the daughter of the very man I had vowed to expose

Smoke rings curled around the dimly lit study where I sat pondering over Sage’s words over and over again. She had said those words to me when we got into an argument before the unfortunate incident. She had spoken about loving me regretfully.A notification from the laptop screen brought my gaze lower, where it showed that the CCTV footage had been retrieved and was ready to be played. My long fingers were about to tap the play key when the shrill tone of my ringtone broke the silence yet again. I glanced at the phone and saw Vivian’s name. A flicker of irritation passed through my features. She had been calling me non-stop since morning. After I had overheard Sage’s conversation with Katherine, I had walked in like nothing had happened and told them I had put a call through to Loren for food to be brought over. Katherine had been understanding. She had even tried to make Sage talk to me and put in a few good words in my favor, but Sage didn’t bother with her mother. You see, Katheri

“So, we’ve checked on your vitals and run all the necessary tests, you’ve been cleared for discharge, Mrs. Greyson,” I could barely hear Doctor Ben while he spoke with so much enthusiasm. I couldn’t help thinking about what the future held for me. The past few days at the hospital had been a cool respite from the storm but a reminder nonetheless of what was lost.Mum was busy making arrangements with Kaid; she already had a checklist for Loren to follow to help with my recovery while Dad fussed over me. He had visited me every day ever since and had been my hype man. Always trying to make me feel better when I didn’t feel like it.Kaid had visited, but I hardly spoke to him unless he did. I was still so upset about everything, and forgiving him was not something I was open to at the moment.My gaze traveled over to my mum fussing about the types of flowers and their significance, and what flower was best for what mood and day. I couldn’t help but sigh. She always fussed a lot over thi

I had been unable to look at Parker’s message when I was with Sage. I couldn’t excuse myself either when all I wanted was for her to be okay. In place of the woman who saw me differently stood a woman who wanted nothing to do with me, and it hurt. She had called it quits. The marriage and whatever was left between us, and I couldn’t help but feel like a part of me was breaking inside. Too stunned to speak, I had settled for silence. Unable to put into words what I felt. I didn’t know what it was I felt. I knew I was hurting about so many things, but her leaving me hurt more than I could put into words.Shortly after, Katherine, James, and my father came in, and James hugged Sage goodbye, telling her something had come up. But it was obvious he was trying to leave the scene where he had to stay with his former best friend. And I took the opportunity to excuse myself, too. She didn’t even look at me when I stood up to leave. She probably thought I was leaving to speak with Vivian.Barel
