All Chapters of The Father Of My Child Is My Stepbrother: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

He looked at me.“Why do you think your father planted roots that deep?”He blinked slightly, caught off guard.“I just told you” he answered “No.” I shook my head. “That is what you assumed, but what if you’re wrong?”He frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”I leaned forward. My voice is calm but firm. “What if your father didn’t do all of this for structure? What if he didn’t do it just to grow power? What if…” I paused watching Mason’s expression carefully.“ He did it as a weapon?”There was silence. A heavy and still one.Mason didn’t move, didn’t speak. He just stared at me, like he was seeing something he hadn’t seen before.“What are you saying?” he asked quietly.“I’m saying” I exhaled slowly. “You’ve been looking at this the wrong way.”His eyes narrowed slightly.“Explain.”I nodded.“You said it yourself, your father planted roots everywhere, even within enemy organizations.”“Yes.” Mason answered “And you said if those roots were cut, It would affect everything.”“Yes.”

Mason’s povThe thing about silent wars is that they don’t stay silent forever. At some point, someone starts asking the right questions.And when they do, you either already have the answer or you become the answer.By the third week after going through with some of my plans, the damage was no longer subtle.It was controlled though but it was still visible. It had weight now and it also had presence.People could feel it even if they couldn’t explain it.I stood in the study, staring at the updated reports spread across the table.Their numbers are dropping, their delays increasing as internal conflicts start to rise.They had put me through a lot and now it was their turn to suffer exactly as planned.Every line, every movement and every reaction had all followed the path I had already seen in my head but that didn’t mean I relaxed because plans were only perfect until someone unexpectedly moved.Lucas walked in after leaving a small knock on the door as usual.“They had an emergen

I turned slightly in my chair looking out the window but not really seeing anything.“They know it’s us now.” I quietly replied “Yes.” Mason immediately answered. There was no denial and no hesitation, just truth and truth was dangerous.“And there’s more,” Mason said.I frowned slightly.“What?”“I traced the impact of the branches we cut.” He continued as my fingers tightened around the phone.“And?” I asked“They didn’t just affect our enemies.” He said as fhere was a brief pause. “They affected her too.”I went still.Rosa.Of course.“She was connected,” I said slowly.“Yes.” Mason answered “In the background.”“Yes.”“She had lost access, resources, protection and influence” I continued “Yes.” Mason answeredI let out a slow breath. “So now she’s desperate and powerless” I closed my eyes briefly. “And when people like Rosa become powerless…”“They become dangerous,” Mason finished. “ She had leaked it to our enemies so that they would fight her battles for her” Mason continue

I picked up the file as the weight of it settled into my hand.Heavy and final.For a second, the room felt completely silent, even the sound of the screen behind me faded into nothing.It was just me and this choice. And then…I opened it. The paper shifted softly as I flipped through the first few pages containing names, accounts, records that were never supposed to be seen and proof, real, undeniable proof.A slow breath left me, it was not relief nor hesitation.Just acceptance.“Prepare everything,” I said calmly.Lucas straightened. “All of it?”“Yes.”Lucas voice came through again. “Once we move, there’s no stopping it.”“I know,” I replied.And I did.Every step from here would be deliberate and every move would hit exactly where it needed to.There will be no more wasted effort and no unnecessary damage.Just precision.“They wanted a war,” I said quietly.My eyes stayed on the file as I turned another page.“Now they have one.”Outside, the world would still look normal. Pe

“Do they think this will save them?” I asked.“No,” he replied.“They just don’t know what else to do.”That answer stayed with me because it was all true.They weren’t fighting anymore.They were reacting, trying anything and everything. Hoping something worked.“They’re breaking,” I said softly.Mason didn’t deny it.“Yes.” He answered The word felt heavy and final.I stood there for a moment, watching the screen, watching everything slowly fall apart.And for the first time, I didn’t feel like an outsider. I felt like I was part of it. Part of something bigger and something dangerous.“Do you feel anything?” I asked suddenly.Mason looked at me.“What do you mean?”I hesitated for a second, then continued.“Watching this happen, does it affect you at all?”There was a pause, not long but long enough.“Yes,” he said finally.That surprised me.“Really?”He nodded once. “Yes.”I stepped closer, studying his face. “But you don’t look like it.”A small, quiet breath left him. “I don’t ne
