You are Mine, Stepbrother! のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Maxwell was about to say something when my mother, Bianca, came into the sitting room. "What is going on?" she asked, her voice sharp."Nothing, Mum," I said quickly, trying to clean whatever tears I had on my face."You both have started fighting again. Don’t you know you both are siblings?" she said, her tone accusing.I just ignored her, even as she spoke. "See her speaking as though she cares," I thought to myself. Meanwhile, Maxwell formed a fake smile and said, "We're cool, Bianca. Nothing's wrong between us."Bianca narrowed her eyes, clearly unconvinced. "It doesn’t look like nothing. Anastasia, your face is red from crying.""I’m fine, Mum," I insisted, trying to sound firm. "Just a bit emotional, that's all.""Emotional about what?" she pressed, crossing her arms. "Maxwell, what did you do?""I didn’t do anything," Maxwell said, still trying to keep the peace. "We were just talking about some... personal matters.""Personal matters?" Bianca repeated, raising an eyebrow. "Wha

I woke up feeling incredibly dehydrated. My mouth was dry, and I felt weak all over. I could barely move, and my head pounded with a dull ache. As I tried to gather my thoughts, a nurse walked up to me, her face kind and concerned."Are you okay?" she asked, her voice gentle."I... I think so," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. "Just really thirsty and weak."The nurse nodded and handed me a glass of water. "Here, drink this. It'll help."I took the glass and drank greedily, the cool water soothing my parched throat. After a few sips, I felt a little better. "Thank you," I said, handing the empty glass back to her."You're welcome," she said with a smile. "Is there anything else you need?"I nodded. "Have you seen Maxwell?""Maxwell?" she asked, looking puzzled. "Who is Maxwell?""He's my brother," I said, trying to sit up a bit more. "Tall, dark hair, always looks worried."The nurse thought for a moment. "Oh, yes, I remember him. He was here earlier.""Where is he now?" I

They both turned to look at me, tension crackling in the air."Please, just leave," I said, my voice strained. "You're both giving me a headache."Maxwell shot Ryan a deep, penetrating gaze, and Ryan returned it with equal intensity. Without another word, they both stormed out of the ward, slamming the door behind them.I slumped back against the pillows, feeling the weight of the situation crash down on me. "God, I'm in a mess," I whispered to myself as tears began to flow. "What have I gotten myself into?"I glanced around the sterile hospital room, the beeping of the monitors the only sound breaking the silence. How was I supposed to control this situation? Ryan and Maxwell were at each other's throats, and they had no idea that Mr. Jaxon, Maxwell's father, was also in the picture.The thought made my stomach churn. "God, I'm a mess," I repeated, the tears streaming down my face. "How will I manage this?"Married to Ryan, pregnant with Maxwell's child, and having a forbidden relati

"You know what? Suit yourself," I said, turning my back on him. I walked out of his office without another word."Maxwell, get back here! Max...!" My dad's voice faded as I ignored him and kept walking.I stormed through the hallways, barely noticing anything around me. One of the receptionists called out, "Have a nice day, sir!" but I didn't even acknowledge her. My mind was racing, and I was furious.I pushed open the door and stepped outside, the fresh air hitting my face. I needed to clear my head. I took a deep breath and started walking, not sure where I was going but needing to get away.I found myself at a nearby park. It was quiet, with only a few people around. I sat on a bench, trying to calm down. My thoughts kept circling back to Anastasia. How could my parents be so blind? How could they not see what was happening to her?My phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw a text from my dad: "We need to talk. Come back."I stared at the message, feeling a mix of anger

Anastasia’s POVI wake up from another slumber in hospital alone, Maxwell is still not back yet. I sigh beginning to worryabout my current predicament again.“Anastasia, my darling girl.” Bianca came into the room looking all happy that it begins to scare me.I refuse to say a word to a especially after our recent fight.“I am so proud of you, now you can work things out with your husband." My brows crease at her words.“Ryan is on his way, I couldn't hold down my excitement.”"What are you talking about?” I ask in confusion and in that moment my nurse, Sarah walks into the roomcautiously.“Although I'm upset you didn't tell me immediately you found out, it's no problem.” Bianca continuesyapping about and I'm about to demand she be rushed to the psychiatric ward.“I can't believe I am going to be grandmother and to Ryan Morgan’s child.” The devil herself shivers injoy as I sit there so stunned, I grow deaf to my surroundings."W-what a-are you talking about?” Fear gri
