All Chapters of My Steprother's Secret Obsession: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

I clearly saw the shock on Mommy's face the moment she opened the door and caught us in the middle of the kiss. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and her hand immediately flew to her chest as if the sight before her had physically hurt her.Theo and I quickly pulled away from each other. Panic instantly flooded through me, and without thinking, I rushed toward Mommy, terrified by the way she looked so pale and shaken."W-What does this mean?!" she shouted, her voice trembling loudly through the room."M-Mommy, please... let me explain," I stammered. My voice was almost hoarse from nervousness, and I could barely breathe properly. My heart pounded violently against my chest while tears started to quickly blurred my vision from fear and anxiety."What more is there to explain? I already saw you kissing!" she cried out. She took a deep breath as though she was struggling to steady herself. "You were step-siblings! Why would you do some

The intense fight between Uncle Greg and Theo finally came to an end, but not without leaving deep wounds behind. Uncle Greg eventually ordered Theo to leave the mansion after their heated fight.Theo tried to take me with him. Even after everything that happened, even after being beaten and condemned by his own father, he still reached for me as if he couldn't bear to leave me behind. But Mommy stopped me before I could even move toward him.I wasn't alarmed by it. Deep inside, I knew Theo and I would still find a way to see each other once we returned to the Capital. There were countless ways for us to meet, and our parents knew they couldn't completely stop us from finding each other again.The only reason I allowed myself to stay behind was because of Mommy. I was worried about her. No matter how much I loved Theo, I also knew my mother deserved answers. I knew we needed to talk, even if I dreaded every second of it. I owed her the truth after hiding such a

After Theo and I made our relationship public, everything changed almost overnight and our parents made it painfully clear that they would do everything they could to separate us. Uncle Greg's anger toward Theo was merciless. Without hesitation, he stripped Theo of his position as CEO of the company, as though all his years of hard work and dedication meant absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, I was allowed to remain as CHRO, but they reassigned me to another branch far away from the Capital. I knew exactly what they were trying to do. They wanted distance to destroy us. They believed that if they sent me far enough away from Theo, eventually our relationship would fall apart on its own. But if they truly thought I would quietly allow that to happen, then they underestimated how deeply I loved him.I never signed any document approving management's decision. Deep inside, I had already decided that I would rather resign than allow them to separate us throug

"It feels like they're never going to stop. They just keep making things harder for you, cornering you from every direction."The moment those words left my mouth, my voice finally broke. The tears I had been desperately trying to hold back for so long suddenly spilled freely down my cheeks."No!" We are not breaking up." Theo said fiercely, almost angrily.Before I could even say another word, he immediately pulled me into his arms and held me tightly against him. And that was all it took for me to completely fall apart. I burst into uncontrollable sobs, clutching onto his shirt while burying my face against his chest."I just hate seeing you suffer like this. You're being pushed to your absolute limit, all because we chose to stand by our relationship. You've never had to endure or live through this kind of hardship before." I cried brokenly between sobs. Theo tightened his embrace around me even more, as though he was afraid I would disapp

"Mom. Please tell me you're joking..." My voice shook violently. My chest tightened painfully as dread slowly consumed me. How long had she been hiding this from me? Why didn't she tell me sooner?"You know I would never joke about something like this, Elyssa. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry, but now I have no choice anymore. My doctors strictly warned me to avoid stress and emotional strain as much as possible but ever since I found out about you and Theo, my condition has gotten much worse. The doctor said if this continues, the stress could trigger a heart attack and I might not survive it." Tears slipped down her cheeks as she took another shaky breath. I felt my knees weaken hearing those words. I stared at her helplessly while tears blurred my vision."So please, Elyssa, If you still care about me as your mother, leave Theo. Do this for me so I can finally have peace of mind and continue living." Her voice trembled w
