Escape From My Step Brother's Dangerous Obsession (Skylar and Callias) novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 

After speaking, I didn’t wait for Roberts‘ reaction and went to get the suitcase I had packed 

last night. 

My movements were stiff from maintaining one position for so long. 

But Hugo just lowered his head, eating the breakfast Bella brought, ignoring my actions. 

I dragged my small suitcase to the door, then remembered something in the refrigerator. 

So I turned back, ending up right in front of Hugo. 

He paused his eating and snorted coldly: 

“Now you realize your mistake? It’s not too late to apologize! Don’t be ungrateful, I’ve spoiled you too much these years!” 

But I didn’t even give him a glance, only looking at the refrigerator as I spoke: 

“Excuse me, please move.” 

He sat there with a dark face, pretending not to hear, so I simply stepped over his legs. 

From the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, I took out the meat pie my father had made for me during his last visit. 

I carefully clutched it to my chest. 

But as I turned to leave, Hugo deliberately stuck out his leg, tripping me. 

My head hit the corner of the coffee table directly. 

He frowned in displeasure: “What’s so precious about that box of junk? Should have thrown that garbage out long ago! Makes my whole refrigerator smell like meat filling!”

I pushed myself up with both hands, my gaze falling on the flour–dusted floor. 

But my vision was blurred by the blood slowly trickling down. 

Bella giggled off to the side, seemingly happy that Hugo was doing this for her. 

She was my stepmom’s child and had always loathed me and my now dead father greatly. 

This was simply because my father had been able to protect me from their bullying when 

she had bullied me and my mother had watched coldly, without doing a thing. 

Hugo’s face remained dark and superior as he irritably lit another cigarette for himself. 

“Skylar, can you stop being so embarrassing? Why don’t you just kneel down and lick it off the floor? I just helped Bella out a bit yesterday, why are you acting so pitiful? Who are you 

trying to impress?” 

“You knew the wedding was fake, so why are you making such a fuss now?” 

“A fake wedding – how could that be more important than someone’s life?” 

Even now, he thought I was just angry about him missing the wedding. 

I understood clearly – it wasn’t that the fake wedding wasn’t important. 

It was that I, Skylar, had never been important in Hugo’s eyes. 

For these years, I had always been the inferior one in our relationship. 

Perhaps compared to me, Bella was more suited to be his perfect companion. 

I had waited countless nights for him to come home. 

All I ever got were messages about him socializing with Bella. 

I would message him to drink less. 

But the replies were always just red exclamation marks.

When it got too late, they would book rooms at the same hotel, and Bella would use his phone to unblock me, sending me messages. 

Complete with room numbers and photos of them together. 

“Skylar, I’ll take good care of Mr. Roberts, you should get some rest!”
