Mated To My Stepbrother-Chapter 98

Jaxon pov

I walked out and saw Mum and Dad conversing with one of the neighbors as they seemed scared, and they were both compensating. The other neighbors from the other side of the building also joined in as they shook their heads, making me confused.

I was a bit confused that I couldn’t apprehend what was going on. I strolled out of the house and towards my parents. as they turned to me with a sad look, I knew something must have happened in the neighboring house. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"What happened? Mom" I asked as she hesitated before speaking.

"Miss Ferdinand’s daughter went missing, and they were unable to find her, but I think it was a kidnapped situation because there was a threat letter kept for the parents. They called to ask me if I had seen anyone come into their house to take their daughter, which, we all know, we did not witness." Mom said.

"Can I see the letter," I said Just then. They walked towards the woman and collected the letter, handing it over to me. I opened it shakenly as I got to realize the letter. He was not a threat to the woman but a threat to us.

I dropped the letter in shock as I looked up at my mum, who was also puzzled at why I acted so stunned.

"This letter is not for this woman, and nothing would happen to her daughter as long as Aria is breathing," I said, making the woman turn to me.

"Are you saying that Aria has something to do with the kidnapping of my daughter?" The woman said, and I nodded,

"yes, it is him again. " I said to my dad who stepped back, I know that he was terrified.

"You must be kidding me right now, My mom said in shock. Just then, I heard a glass shatter from our doorway.

I turned around, and it was Aria again. I felt so frustrated as I rushed towards her. Why else would she come out? I held her hand as she removed hers from mine.

"Do not hold me. What exactly does he want? Are you telling me that he is still roaming about and threatening other people because of me? What exactly does he want?"Aria said, and I couldn’t help but wonder, too,

because I had no idea what to tell her, and I could tell she needed a therapist right now. She was already acting a bit too abnormal, all because of this incident.

"Look, it is not something you must worry about; it will all be dealt with. They are involving the police in this situation; It just has to complete 24 hours of this girl going missing. Then we would not have to worry. " I said hoping my word would be able to assure her.

"Staying in my room is even more scary than coming out here. I prefer to stay here with all of you than for me to stay up there," she said, and I could see it in her eyes. She was scared; it was obvious I did not know what to do. This was just a little trauma, but it was now exceeding the limit as I watched her shaking continuously. I couldn’t help but wonder what to do.

"Fine. You want to stay here with us, stay but be right by my side. I do not want to go around you." I warned as she nodded in affirmation.

After the discussion with the neighbors and having to promise them that we would try our very best to find out who did this, We returned to the building.

Still, due to how Mum was so scared, she locked all the doors and the windows, even the curtains were short clothes, and she only turned on the lights and also made sure the security lights were all in affirmation. I opened her door, but what I saw shocked me.

Aria was even more shocked as she stepped back, screaming out loudly. Mom and Dad ran up the stairs, and Mum was also sent to a huge shockwave. This was just really getting out of hand. Dad could not believe what he saw with his eyes. It was now becoming so much that he turned his attention to Mum quickly.

"Tell us what exactly Aria’s dad wants or else we will just continue to run away from someone who would not stop chasing us, and besides, we don’t even know what he wants. You should at least enlighten us on what is going on;" Dad said as I nodded while I walked Aria back down the stairs. She was not ever going to use that room as the trauma would just keep getting worse than it already was.

She held her mouth with her hands. I could tell she was trying to hold in her sanity by doing that. While Mum could not even believe it, it was just how many hours since they returned, and all these things were happening.

It felt like their return was all Aria’s father was waiting for to start striking with his plans.

Mom initially did not want to say anything as she was still in great shock, but with the way we all stared at her, she began to twitch.

"I don’t think it will make any difference if I tell you guys what exactly he wants; It’s not. I am going to ever give it to him; he would have no access to it," she said.

Just then, I recalled Aria talking about the property. Now, I felt like it was truly about that property. All this was just because he wanted back what he had invested in his daughter, and he knew it was only if Aria was deceased that he would be able to get everything back Everything.

"Is it about the property? "I asked as Mum stared at me in shock and turned to Aria, but I guess Aria was still lost in thoughts. She thought no one would ever find out
