Chapter 66

‘Bro, have mercy.” I refused and just shouted some random nonsense.

“Say sweet things right now!” Jared yelled. I bit my lip tightly and refused.

He seemed like he wanted to punish me, but after three tries, he looked drained. He gave up and held me tightly, like he wanted to melt me into himself.

Even though he’d let go, he still looked upset. His chest felt tight, so he kissed me again, hard and frustrated.

I didn’t fight back. I let him have his way until he finally released me, his eyes bloodshot. “If something’s bothering you, just tell me now,” Jared said, gripping my arm. His voice was full of anger.

At that moment, neither of us was dressed. There was no way we could have a real conversation. I quickly pulled the blanket over me. Jared grabbed his pajama top and buttoned it up while staring at me.

“What’s got you so upset? You look like you lost your soul. Are you that hurt?” he asked.

Watching Jared lose it like that, I figured it was because I hadn’t been paying enough attention. I hadn’t been revolving around him like before. His pride and role as head of the family felt challenged.
