Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112

KASMINE

“She doesn’t need to be disturbed. Bring her breakfast here. Clean the room later.” I thought I heard those in my subconscious

My body ached, every inch of me sore and sluggish as if I had been wrung dry and left to mend on its own. A sharp ache pulsed through my temples, cutting off the remnants of sleep.

My body felt so foreign

The door clicked shut, but the sleep still kept me under until I heard another set of words from the same voice.

“Lock him up in the basement.”

With those words, my lashes immediately fluttered, forcing my vision into focus.

Kester

He was strolling back into the room, bare–chested, wearing only his trousers, the dim morning light casting shadows across the ridges of his toned frame. He looked every bit the man who had unraveled me last night.

He had his phone in his hands.

“Who are you locking up in what basement?” I whispered, as that was all my voice allowed me to do.

My heart picked up speed at once.

I tried to sit up, only for a sharp, searing pain to lance through my thighs, my core, and my bones. A startled whimper escaped my lips as I collapsed back onto the pillows.

“Didn’t I say you wouldn’t be using your legs for two days, baby?” His voice was deep, edged with satisfaction.

“Who” I tried to ask again, but he only smiled.

“No one you should concern yourself with, trust me.” He dismissed my worry, leaving no room for any more questions

“But +

“Kasmine. I said it’s nothing you should worry about.” He said through gritted teeth, forcing a smile,

I nodded and swallowed, my throat parched. “Kester.” My voice came out hoarse, barely more than a rasp.

“Yes, baby,” His dark eyes softened as he settled beside me on the bed, fingers threading gently through my hair.” You’re finally awake,” he murmured as if we hadn’t just almost gotten into an argument and paused before speaking again, a bit quieter this time, “Sorry about last night… I just-“He exhaled, jaw tensing. “I shouldn’t have ”

I

I forced a weak chuckle, though even that small effort made my body protest. “I asked for it,” I admitted, my lips curling faintly. “Didn’t know I wouldn’t be able to take it.”

His sroff was almost amused, but the expression didn’t quite reach his face. Instead, he just studied me, his thumb still tracing soothing patterns against my scalp.

“I told them not to disturb you today,” he said. “Breakfast will be here soon.”

I nodded, too drained to say much else.

We were silent for a while before he spoke up again.

“When did you find out about Jaden?”

Kester ran a hand through his hair, his expression darkening before he muttered a quiet, “Fuck.”

“You’ve been really busy lately, Kes. Your mood that day—when Mum told me about him–was too sour. I couldn’t bring myself to anger you more…” I explained, searching his face, but there was not even a crack in his expression. He just stared blankly at me.

“Kester…” I swallowed, trying to steady myself. “You refused to see me for two whole days. I tried calling before the date, but you were unreachable. Mum and Dad made me go, even though I refused.”

He was quiet. His hand on my hair was gradually becoming stiff, and it trembled.

“You will never see Jaden again. No matter what. Never speak to him or go anywhere near him ever again.. Do you understand me?” He ordered, and I almost scoffed, even though it felt like I was being compelled to obey his every word.
