61.9 % Chapter 102 I stared at Lukas in shock , not knowing how to describe my feelings at this moment .
However , Lukas didnt give me any chance to speak and simply turned and left .
His words weighed heavily on me , and Lukass steps seemed to be a bit lighter .
I stared at Lukass figure , at a loss for words .
I never expected Lukas to throw back at me everything I said downstairs .
What a vengeful man he was ! Quietly in my heart , I cursed , Lukas , you jerk ! Then , in a fit of pique , I hummed angrily , slammed the door shut , and went back to the bathroom to continue my shower .
I shouldnt have opened the door while still in the middle of showering for this man .
Lukas returned to the master bedroom with his things and realized that his behavior just now was a bit childish .
However , he couldnt deny that he felt much better after saying those things .
But then , he suddenly remembered that he would need to take sleeping pills tonight , and his mood soured again .
This was probably the price he had to pay for the momentary satisfaction of his words .
Lukas closed his eyes , took two sleeping pills , and lay down .
The next morning , Lukas woke up in a bad mood .
Although he fell asleep with the sleeping pills last night , it was not the same feeling as naturally falling asleep with me in his arms .
He felt inexplicably restless .
During breakfast , I asked him , Mr.
Strakovski , are you going to the court for the plagiarism case today ? My state seemed completely unaffected by our conversation last night .
Lukas felt even more uncomfortable .
He didnt even look up and replied , Martins will go .
The events of the previous night were still lingering in Lukass mind .
He found it hard to concentrate on anything else .
In the end , he decided to focus on his work .
He immersed himself in reviewing the case files , hoping it would distract him from the unsettling thoughts .
Meanwhile , I was occupied with my own work as well , trying my best not to think about the recent developments in our relationship .
As days passed , Lukas and I kept our distance , both professionally and personally .
We avoided unnecessary interactions , and our relationship became more like colleagues than a married couple .
Even though Lukas tried to convince himself that it was for the best , he couldnt shake off the feeling of unease and regret that seemed to grow within him .
As much as he wanted to maintain a clear boundary , his heart couldnt help but be pulled towards my 12:49 O Escape From My Step Brothers Dangerous Obsession 62.3 % Chapter 102 presence .
Meanwhile , I tried my best to stay focused on my career and personal growth , but I couldnt deny the emotional turmoil I felt .
I wondered if it was a mistake to marry someone I barely knew and whose feelings towards me were so complicated .
Both Lukas and I were struggling internally , each grappling with our feelings and uncertainties .
Little did we know that our lives were about to take an unexpected turn , bringing us face to face with challenges that would force us to confront our true emotions .

I nodded , quickly finished my breakfast , and grabbed my car keys before leaving .
At the company , I clocked in and spent some time working on design drafts .
When it was almost time , I decided to head to the courthouse .
At ten oclock in the morning , the plagiarism case between me and Bella officially began .
This was the first time I had seen Bella since being framed by Victoria .
I had no intention of acknowledging him , but to my surprise , Victoria walked over and started a conversation with me .
Skylar , how have you been during this time ? With so many media reporters around , I couldnt lose my temper .
I replied coldly , Im doing fine .
Victoria sighed and put on a show for the media , Skylar , I know that Bella copied your design drafts , and you must be angry .
But shes still your sister .
Regardless of the trials outcome , please spare her .
I never expected Victoria to say these things in front of the media .
If I insisted on not forgiving my sister , I would be criticized .
If I let it go , I wouldnt be able to swallow the bitterness in my heart .
Just then , Bella added fuel to the fire .
She walked over , looking pale and weak , as if she might faint at any moment .
Her wrist was wrapped in gauze .
I was afraid that Bella would pull a stunt in front of the reporters , so I subconsciously stepped back .
But to my surprise , Bella bowed ninety degrees in front of the media and said to me with a crying tone , Sister , Im sorry .
No matter what happened before , its all my fault .
I owe you an apology .
Her voice was filled with a sob as she continued to bow , Sister , I truly regret my actions .
Please forgive me , okay ? I stared at Bella with a stiff expression .
In front of the media , I couldnt curse at her directly .
But there was no way I would forgive Bella for what she had done .
It was like a dream to expect that .
I was stuck in a difficult situation , my face turning ugly .
At this moment , some people started to sympathize with Bella .
They are actually sisters .
Skylar doesnt need to fight so hard for a win .
Bella looks pitiful , coming to the court with injuries .
Forgive and forget .
Since Bella has apologized , its not kind of Skylar to keep holding on .
Escape From My Step Brothers Dangerous Obsession 62.6 % 1 ၁ Chapter 102 People who hadnt experienced something themselves were quick to judge others and teach them how to be human .
I clenched my fists , my face turning blue .
I never expected Bella to make a scene in front of the media on the day of the trial .
What was even more despicable was that people easily forgave those who hadnt suffered , making them appear so noble .
The media cameras recorded this scene clearly .
With a pale face , I seemed to have lost before the trial even began .
Then , a mocking sneer sounded .
A carefree voice said , If apologies worked , what do we need the police for ? ♡ ( 0 )
