บททั้งหมดของ My Step Father, My Desire : บทที่ 151 - บทที่ 160

EmmaThe anxiety tightens in my chest as I step through the front door, my heels clicking softly against the floor. The apartment greets me with its usual silence, though today the silence feels almost unbearable.All I need is a good sleep to forget my horrible day at work. My earlier near fight with my mom, sets my heart pounding.The hallway light comes on. I slip off my shoes, feeling the cool floor beneath my feet as I carry my bag and shoes to my bedroom.I don’t bother with the living room lights or the kitchen. The silence presses against me, and I want to hide from it, retreat to the one place that’s always been mine, my bedroom. The door creaks open with a slight push of my shoulder, and I flick on the bedside lamp. The soft light spills over the room, and I drop my bag onto the bed with a sense of heaviness that I can’t quite shake. My blouse is sticking to my back from the subway ride, I still haven't fixed my car since it broke down but it’s the least of my concerns. T

EmmaI let out a long, weary sigh as soon as Knox step out of my room. The soft click of the door closing feels like it’s echoing in the silence that fills the space, making everything feel strangely empty and heavy. It’s like his absence pulls all the air out of the room.I move slowly to my bed, my body feeling like it's carrying a thousand pounds. I fall onto the mattress, burying my face in the pillow. The exhaustion isn’t from my job. No, it’s this constant, gnawing frustration deep inside me. This unshakable feeling of hitting a dead end in my personal search, one that’s leaving me breathless. My chest feels tight, like something heavy is pressing down, making each breath feel harder than the last.I remember when I was in high school, asking my mom about my dad. I asked her so many times over the years, but every time she shut me down. She’d either change the subject or walk away without a word. Maybe one day, I’ll find him and understand why he was never part of my life.

EmmaI smile at Ethan as he jokes about something that happened during his day.I should probably stay away from him, especially with everything going on with Knox, but I can’t seem to resist. I tell myself it's harmless, that we're just friends, that it's not anything more than that.I’ve tried hard to keep things platonic, especially after that… embarrassing day when I woke up naked in his bed. My cheeks burn just thinking about it, how tangled the sheets were around me, the confusion that hit me like a ton of bricks when I realized where I was, and the panic as I scrambled to piece together the night before. I promised myself I’d set clearer boundaries after that, no more getting too close, no more crossing lines. We could keep it friendly. No strings attached.But then Ethan flashes me that smile, the one that always makes everything feel easier, more effortless. And for a moment, it works. His humor, his charm, the way he can make everything feel light, even when life is heavy.

Monica “Look, just breathe, alright? Calm down and explain the situation,” Gina says over the phone, her voice steady, but I can hear the worry behind it.Gina and I have been close since we decided to team up against Knox.I let out a long, frustrated sigh and sank onto the couch, shaking with anger and anxiety. “A few minutes ago, the police showed up at my door. They said they got an anonymous tip to check me for drugs.”“Shit, did they find anything?” she asks, her tone sharp and concerned.“No!” I nearly scream. Then I slap my temple in frustration.“If they didn’t find anything, then you should just calm down,” she said, trying to sound reassuring, but I can tell she didn't fully understand the weight of it all.She didn’t get it. I wasn’t just dealing with a random check. Now, I was on their radar. I was on a damn watch list, and this visit wouldn’t be the last. I could feel the dread settle deep in my chest.“I wish it was that easy,” I say, my voice tight. “I’m just… I’m ter

KnoxI should be getting ready for work. I just want to spend the whole day with Emma making love to her.She gets up from the floor panting and her skin is shining with sweat.I rub her lower back in circles still lying on the floor.I say to Emma "How about we spend the day together? I do not have much to do besides it’s Friday."Emma turns around sharply. "No we can not. I still have reports to rewrite and documents to review."I laugh deeply. "I am the boss."Emma rolls her eyes. "You do not have to remind me."Emma turns back. Crawls to her shirt that is discarded on the floor. This gives me a view of her round butt.I say to Emma "Emma I think something got into my eyes can you help me out?"Emma pauses as she tries to crawl. Then Emma quickly turns around.I start to scratch my eyes. Then the moment Emma gets closer to me and leans forward I quickly hold her waist and pull her to myself.Emma says "Knox let go of me" and playfully slaps my arm.I roar with laughter. Then get up
