My 7 Deadly Stepbrothers 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 151 - 챕터 160

I stood outside Kat’s room, my hand ready to knock on her door. I was going to warn her about Alaric. I knew she could be stubborn, but he wasn't a normal person. Alaric won't think twice before killing her if he wanted to, and she wasn't aware of that. She wasn't taking him seriously, and I needed to tell her how dangerous he could be. I thought I could protect her by keeping her at distance, but that wasn't going to happen anymore. I tried to hide my care for her so that Alaric won't use her as a weapon against me, but now he knew that I cared for her, so I was sure he would use her to keep me in the line. With the final decision to come clean to her, I knocked on the door and waited for her to open it. The door opened after a while and Caspian stood on the other side. I blinked, taken aback to find him standing there, his expression was a mix of surprise and caution when he saw me. Behind him, Ian sat on the edge of Kat’s bed, his face was pale and drawn, while Kat stood near t

The white walls and the sterile smell of the hospital felt like a punishment to my senses. I never understood why everything in the hospital has to be so blanded and empty. Why can't they just add a few potted plants and try different colours for the walls?People come to the hospital with heavy hearts in most cases. They don't need a constant reminder of death and sadness, but the white walls do the exact same. They remind you how insignificant and empty your life is compared to the vastness of the world. I was covering my nose, remembering the hospital visit in London, yet the strong smell of the disinfectant clung to the back of my throat as I walked down the corridor. I could almost taste it, and it made my eyes sting. The dim overhead lights flickered slightly as we took a turn, casting an unsettling glow over the white polished marble floors. The hospital was quieter than I expected. There weren't many people around, only a few nurses walking down the corridor, even though it

“What's going on here?” The nurse from before rushed inside the room, and seeing dad, he pushed me away from him. “Get back!”I followed his order and stood at the foot of the bed as he tried to find out what had happened with dad. He checked the monitor while trying to keep him on the bed. Thankfully, he wasn't shaking like before, but it was evident that he was having trouble breathing. The beeping of the machine was still rapid and intense. I was afraid and couldn't dare to look at dad. So, I kept my eyes on the young nurse as he injected dad with something that instantly calmed him down. He stopped shaking and started to breathe normally again. The nurse was still by his side, reading his pulse and trying to talk to him. Dad answered his questions, but I could see that his words weren't clear and his voice started to get lower and lower with each word. After a few seconds, the beeping of the machine went back to normal. “I didn't mean this when I said you should talk to your d

I finally found something important. I couldn't believe that it actually happened. I paced the length of my office to cover my excitement because I finally had something that we could use against Alaric to make sure he was gone from our life for good. I stopped right in front of my desk to check the reports once again. The soft glow of my computer screen was casting a long shadow across the room, glaring directly at me. And that made my mind race, each new discovery into Alaric's lies sent a fresh wave of anxiety through my chest. I couldn't believe my luck, and the thought of it all being a hoax stayed in my head, no matter how hard I was trying to get rid of it. I told myself that the information was gathered by my juniors from the company—the people I trust—yet it was hard to believe that they found so much against him. I checked the files once again—to convince myself that things were finally in our favour—along with the links associated with every one of them. The deeper I du

“Are you going to see him again?” Alaric asked when he saw me getting ready for the hospital. “Don't you get tired of running around him like a faithful little bitch? At this point, I am not sure if it's acting for the cops or you have actually accepted the role of a trophy wife.” It had been two weeks since Derek had been hospitalized, and the guilt of not telling him about Alaric was eating me alive. That's why I was going to tell him the truth that day. Even though I didn't know exactly what he was planning, I knew he had something in mind. If I had warned Derek, none of it would have happened. “Get out of the room; others might see us together,” I warned him without moving from my place. “I don't think additional drama would do us any good in this situation.”“I have been away from you for a long time now, I can't control myself anymore.” He walked into the room and shut the door behind himself. “The cops are testing my patience at this point—calling me every other day with more
