Semua Bab Marked By My Alpha Stepbrother: Bab 11 - Bab 20

CHAPTER ELEVENGABRIELLA’S POVThe bathroom stayed quiet for a few more seconds after the bedroom door slammed shut, but unfortunately silence did absolutely nothing to calm the chaos inside my head. Meanwhile the image of Vanessa practically climbing Killian like a desperate monkey kept replaying itself over and over again in the most irritating way possible.I stared at my reflection in the mirror while brushing damp hair away from my face, and honestly, the fact that I even cared enough to be irritated already felt embarrassing. Killian was arrogant, manipulative, dangerous and genuinely one of the most frustrating men I had ever met in my entire life.So why exactly was my chest still tight?God, this was ridiculous.I stepped out of the bathroom carefully while tightening the towel around my chest, already exhausted before the day even properly started. Unfortunately, the devil himself was still inside the room leaning lazily against the dresser like he paid rent there.“Why are

Chapter ThirteenGabriella’s POVBy the time I finally came downstairs, I honestly felt like I deserved compensation for surviving that madness upstairs without either screaming or strangling him.

Meanwhile my brother’s name kept echoing inside my head alongside Jerold’s voice, and somehow that only made the anger worse instead of dulling it.“Killian!”My mother’s voice followed behind me quickly, but I kept walking anyway because honestly, stopping right now felt dangerous. The pressure building inside my chest already felt too close to snapping into something ugly.“Killian stop walking away from me.”I finally stopped near the edge of the drive

Chapter seventeenGabriella’s pov“What?”The word barely sounded like my voice anymore because suddenly my chest felt too tight to breathe properly.Sophie immediately went quiet on the other side of the phone, and somehow that silence frightened me more because I could practically hear the moment she realized something was wrong. Not normal wrong.The terrifying kind.“Ella?” Her voice softened carefully. “Wait… what's wrong?”My fingers tightened painfully around the phone while my eyes slowly drifted toward the hallway my father disappeared through earlier because suddenly every strange thing from today started replaying violently inside my head.Jacob lying, my father avoiding answers.Killian looked ready to destroy somebody the second his brother was mentioned.Nothing about today felt stable anymore.“No,” I answered quietly. “Jacob told me he had work.”Sophie let out a confused breath.“Work?” she repeated slowly. “Babe unless his office magically relocated outside town ove

Chapter nineteen Killian’s POV “I bit her.” The second the words left my mouth, the room went dead silent, not the normal kind of silence either. This one felt heavy, sharp, and penetrating. The healer stared at me for a long second while the lady  laid  unconscious on the bed behind her, blood staining the sheets beneath her body.
