Forced to Sleep with My Stepbrother

Due to my husband's unique status, I did not reveal his identity to my mother after we secretly married.

My family was about to be relocated during the holidays, and I took the opportunity to visit my hometown.

When I got home, my mother locked me in my stepbrother's room.

I questioned my mother about it, and she said, "We're about to be relocated. If you get pregnant, the baby will be counted as an extra person. We'll be compensated with one more house and millions of dollars extra."

I begged my mother to release me, but she said that it was better for me to stay in the family than marry into another one. "You and your brother aren't related, anyway. We can even save on dowry."

I refused, so my mother got my brother to beat me up until I bled.

As the date for the entire town to relocate approached, the developers arrived to distribute the compensation.

My husband was among those who arrived. When he saw my bruised cheeks and the bump on my stomach, he went crazy.

My mother slapped me hard on the face.

"Ptui! Run again, and I'll tear your face off, you little bitch!"

It was another red mark on my already bruised face.

…

A day ago…

My family home was about to be demolished. The houses in the area had been sold to developers for a handsome price, and every family was compensated with larger houses and a lot of money.

It was because of this that my mother, who never really kept in contact with me, suddenly called to ask me to come home for the upcoming holidays. She wanted to discuss the family's relocation with me.

After getting married, I did not reveal my husband's identity due to the nature of his status. I was still considered a part of my original family and had a share in the compensation.

I thought my mother had finally thought about me, no longer treating me like a burden when she remarried and started a new family with the Wagners.

It was a happy day for me when I returned home. I was prepared to tell my mother about how I was responsible for helping the family get the compensation for their relocation. I also wanted to tell her my husband's true identity.

Never did I suspect that she would knock me unconscious upon my arrival. She tied me up and locked me in a room.

When I woke up, I realized my mother had tricked me into coming home by using the excuse of sharing the compensation from the family home with me.

It was true that the house was about to be demolished. It was also true that they would be compensated handsomely for it. However, it had never once crossed her mind that I deserved a share of it.

She wanted my stepbrother, Boris Wagner, to impregnate me before the developers arrived. The Wagners would stand to gain another house and several more millions if they had an additional family member.

I stared at my mother while trying to convince her otherwise. "Let me go, Mom. You still have a chance. You'll regret it if you go through with it."

My mother stared back at me right after my words. She smiled. "Are you trying to say that you're married to a rich man with power? Stop dreaming. Why would a rich and powerful man want to marry you?"

I had been married for three years.

To be honest, it felt like a dream to me too.

My husband was rich and powerful. Like my mother said, it was impossible for a man like that to fall in love with me.

In reality, however, I did end up marrying him. Not only was he rich and powerful, but he was also overprotective of me.

Someone once gently knocked into me, and my husband gave orders for the person to be tortured horribly. After we got married, he was always lamenting about how I led a tough life and refused to let me get a job for fear of exhausting me.

At the same time, he was worried I would get bored at home. So, he bought me a café opposite his office and got his company's employees to frequent it.

When he knew I was coming home, he prepared dozens of bodyguards and helpers to come with me. However, I coquettishly convinced him to scrap the plan as I thought it was unnecessary to bring such a large group with me.

Before I left, I even guaranteed to him that I could take care of myself.

Looking at what was happening to me, it all felt like a huge joke was being played on me.
