12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 22 — OF OVERSIGHTS AND PAST MEMORIES
ANAHERABy the time the sun came up, I’d tried to call Bella more than a dozen times using my landline. For the first time, I think my brother invested in something of worth. It was the same thing; sending me off to voice mail every time.I was beginning to worry for her safety. Noel had assured me that she was fine and probably at her own house, so I decided I’d go over to hers before heading off to work — if I still had a job. Her garage was locked, and her cars were nowhere in sight. Maybe this meant she was out?You don’t leave with two cars at the same time. My bet was probably indoors. I could not really tell. So I tried her door, only to find it locked. I knocked a few times, praying she would answer. Nothing. In the middle of contemplating whether to kick the door down or go over to her neighbor’s, a click echoed from behind me. I turned to see the door was open. “Bella, God, you had me worried!” I grabbed her shoulders, looking her over if she was hurt but she shrugged

ANAHERA Fuck. Dominik was going to wring me like a rag doll, toss me to mars and then kill — no, pummel Noel into a bloody pulp before killing him and burying him in my front yard.Putting myself together, I got out of the car, jittery nerves and jelly legs, to meet my brother whose face would not stop contorting into various shades of anger.Before I got to him, he was marching to meet Noel who had also gotten down from his car. Wise fricking decision by the way.I tried to stop him. “Dom, it’s not what you think. He only–”The rest of my words got swallowed up in the loud crunch that came as a result of Dom’s heavy punch. His hands always seemed to fly before his brain thought.Noel crumpled against his car’s hood with his hand over his mouth.“What are you doing with my sister? I thought I told you to stay away from her but you never listen,” my brother thundered despite the silence in the neighborhood.Noel looked at him, then at me. “I just had to help her get home safely. Woul
12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 20 — OF DRINKS AND LUSTFUL THOUGHTS
NOELIt felt like a trick of the mind when Hera walked into the party, dressed in that pretty number. The same party I’d invited her to which she not-so graciously turned down, forcing me to go with Jax. She is a true goddess of beauty you never want to stop staring at. My mind wandered as she walked past me, carrying with her the very essence that kept me awake at night on my couch, the very spot she sits when she comes for each session.Is that called being obsessed? I don’t think so.I waited for her brother to be behind her or something, but he was nowhere to be found. That was a little strange.Jax slapped a hand on my back, pulling my attention. “You good, bro?” His eyes searched my face. I forced on a bright expression. “Sure.”“The beauties here are too plenty to ignore. Dude!” I said nothing, just laughed. Typical Jax. Together, we walked up the stairs to the VIP lounge and chose our seats on the far end of the wide balcony, obscured by the bar. There was no light in th

ANAHERA The bass thumping all the way from inside the building to where we were parked made me nervous. Wiping sweaty palms against the very short dress Bella persuaded me to put on, I grabbed my mini purse and stepped out with her. I looked at my best friend as we walked side by side, I thought of her sacrifices to make me happy in the ways she knew how to. For tonight, I’d try to actually enjoy the party. My phone vibrated with a text from Dom. ‘Tell your friend not to keep you up late. Unlike her, you have to work. Goodnight, sis.’A small lump formed in my throat as I stared at the message. It felt like an open violation of his trust in me, and I never liked lying to my brother.If I’d tried to tell him I was at a party this late, he would flip the fuck out and come take me back home. But come on, a girl needed to breathe sometimes. So I told him Bella and I had a sleep over to catch up since I’d been too busy the last week. He agreed.I was still staring at my phone when

ANAHERAThree days later and I was on the verge of pulling out my hair from its roots. “If I have to deal with that jerk for one more day, I’m going to fly down a hill. The man has absolutely refused to make my life any easy since working with him,” I moaned. I expected a response from Bella but got none. She texted me she’d be home by four. If her cars were parked outside, it meant she hadn’t gone out. So why was her house silent? Closing the door, I led myself in and walked down the hallway to the only spot I knew she’d be in for sure. Didn’t find her there. Nor was she in other rooms.Going back the way I came, whispers floated to my hearing. Somewhere to my right, there was one of the doors cracked open the tiniest bit. “This is serious. Find him whichever way you can, that’s why I pay you enough,” Bella was whispering…to someone?I gave the door a little tap and pushed it open, playing blind to Bella’s jump before she tucked her phone out of sight. “Hey! You’re back so ear
12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 17 — OF NOEL AND FRAUD
ANAHERA“What is going on here?” I asked, approaching the couple, looking between both of them while they fixed their eyes on anywhere else that was not my face. Not even a glance. A dull thud echoed in the room behind me, breaking the tension, and their gazes shot toward me. Dominik spoke first.He took a few steps forward but his eyes never left the door. “What was that?”Blocking him from moving further, I lied, “What was what? It has to be a bag I piled up.” A topic change. “Why are you in my house so early?”Looking between me and the door, he didn’t look like he believed my response but he had a reason for coming, no?“I just wanted to say I’m sorry for skipping dinner last night. I got a random call from Coach, I know, but the boys…”“About that…I understand. Just wish you’d be able to come for dinner like the old times.” Sadness bled into my words, refusing to be masked.Hearing those words, the lines around his eyes slowly faded. He exhaled slowly, staring at me a second lo
