Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215

Karina sighed dramatically, tapping a manicured nail against her mug. “You know, I am right here.”

I ignored her again.

“She won’t be staying here,” I said flatly.

My father’s gaze met mine, “This is still my house, Kester.”

Silence.

Long, thick silence.

And then, he leaned back as if the conversation was already over. And with a casual sip of

his coffee, he said the words that made my blood run hot.

“And Karina is also my daughter.”

The laugh that had been bubbling under my skin finally slipped out.

Dark. Amused. Poisoned at the edges.

I pushed off the chair, straightening to my full height, my gaze sweeping over him with something between pity and disbelief.

“You really are a fool, old man.‘

My father didn’t have an ounce of an idea of what was coming for his beloved daughter. I had all it takes to get her out of this house. I could have snapped my fingers and had her dragged out before she even had the chance to finish her pathetic little drink.

But, no. Where is the fun there?

They had just made things easier for me. Brought my plans right to my doorstep, wrapped in the golden opportunity of her own weaknesses.

And Karina?

Chapter 215

She was too blinded by arrogance, too drenched in self–importance, to see the noose tightening around her neck.

I strode to the wine bar where I knew Karina would be at the moment. There was just a thin line separating her from being an actual drunk.

Karina had a relationship with alcohol–one that teetered on the edge of devotion and

destruction.

Aha! There she was. Drowning in a bottle of Vodka.

Her posture was careless, shoulders slouched, legs crossed as if she were some queen in

exile.
