Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother

Chapter 138

KESTER.

Terrifying.

She meant it.

Her eyes locked onto mine, and I swear I saw something fold in her.

"You know what?" She wiped her eyes, "I want to be able to look at the father of my child and not wonder what he's capable of. But I can't. So, just leave. I never want to see you anywhere near me or my baby. Leave!"

That broke me.

She could threaten me with anything, but not our baby,

"Baby... What do I do to make you know how much I love you and that everything

I do, I do for you? Kasmine..." I didn't recognize my voice anymore, and the way my emotions spiraled from anger to hurt surprised even me. "This isn't love, Rester. It is control. I don't want it. Just... Go..." She sobbed, her lips trembling so hard. “Kasmine..... please." My words came out as a whisper, trembling with a vulnerability I had never shown to anyone except her. "Please just love me back. What does it take to love me? Baby?" I swallowed, closing the distance between us, “Just-just love me." I begged. I could feel my heart wrenching out of my chest. My hands trembled as they reached for her, brushing against her arms as if afraid she might vanish if I held her too tightly.

She looked at me like I was something pitiful, something broken-and maybe I

was.

"No! I can never love a selfish monster like you!" She let out a bitter scoff, wiping off the tears from her eyes with her trembling hands before letting them slump beside her as if she were tired of fighting.

"You don't need love, Kester. You need help," she stared at me weakly with those green orbs of hers, and I didn't like the look I saw there... It was that of pity. Not love. Not the love I expected.

I wanted her to love me, not pity me.

"I am not selfish, Mine. I chose you, I always choose you. I'm. Still. Choosing. YOU!" I counted my words ever so slowly, ignoring the crack in my voice, "I gave up so much for you. I am going through this whole mess right now because of you and you call me selfish?
