Chapter 8

Sandra's pov

George was getting impatient and I couldn't blame him much after all he had been a dedicated father figure tomy triplets for the past 5 years.

As for me all I've done is basically string him along year in and year out the truth was that I hope that eventually I would be able to get over the fact that he was my adopted brother.

Maybe developed feelings for him but every time I looked at him it was as if he had adopted brother plus that over his face and I couldn't get over it as much as I tried.

There were nights when I was verbally beating up myself for not loving him.

He wasn't bad to look at, and he was also sweet nice and consider it even though he could be a bit pushy sometimes but that was all of just part of his over protectiveness.

Honestly he deserved somebody who would love him with all of their heart.

I woke up every morning hoping I could be that somebody.

But as much as I did love him I was not in love with him.

My heart didn't race around him.

Seeing him didn't cause my chest to flutter.

The packs he stole on my face didn't cause butterflies.

I hated how much I would compare him to that traitor, even if he didn't love me, even though he had betrayed me my feelings had been genuine my heart had been loyal and I knew that those feelings I had back then when nothing like what I heard for George.

But have a decade I had already gone by, wouldn't it be right for me to reward his patience by finally agreeing to marry him?

I thought about it as i washed my face in the morning, I would have to show up in the agency extra early today which means I won't get to see my kids wake up. I stared at the mirror flicking away tears.

This was just one of the many sacrifices I had to make to regain my crown, If I chose to be a housewife the way George was pushing for it I knew that I would never be fulfilled and my entire identity would revolve around my kids.

And it's not like I never get to see them anyways.

Soon I was dressed I'm prepped to head over to the agency, I still went over to the triplets room which was color coded for all three of them the colors where Green pink and blue. I went over to each of their beds placing a kiss on everyone's forehead it was gentle and light.

Just as I was kissing Lily and straightening of my back someone came and wrapped their arms around me from behind I almost screamed then George leaned over and whispered in my ear.

“Where is good morning kiss?” it came of almost like a demand.

“I have to head to work now,” I told him trying to wiggle the out of his hold but then he squeezed me even tighter, this was slowly crossing the boundary of playfulness to something else, “George…” I was trying to keep my voice leveled so that's the kids didn't wake up especially to something like this, “... I just told you that I have to get to work I woke up early because of this can you let me go and now?”

“Only if you promise to give me a good morning kiss too,”

Like I said he could be pushy, sometimes it had a little bit of time to it but right now was not one of such times. Once again I tried it to playfully escape his hold then once more he intensified it now there was no pretense about it that he was restraining me, my breathing took gaps and I was now growing visibly uncomfortable.

“George!” I hissed out, thankfully the only reaction to this was Lily slowly opening her eyes and then closing them right back again, thank goodness that's my kids slept like the dead. George finally realized that history card gone too far and let's go of me I marched out of the room quietly as possible which was a little awkward considering that I was bringing with rage but by the time I was out the door I was moving with impetus and fury.

George reached me before I could reach the front door, grabbing my arm and their City look I gave him made him to quickly withdraw.

“Sandra…what's wrong? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed or something?”

I bet my lip, a vein popped in my forehead and my jaw clenched.

“Are we going to pretend that what you did in the kids room just now I was normal?”

He shrugged, “even if they woke up they should get used to that since we'll be doing it a lot when we get married and become an official couple,”

I patiently collapsed my palms together.

“George I never said I was going to get married to you now at least…give me some time…you promised you would give me some time,”

He started to scratch his head awkwardly, “well that was because I thought you were going to say yes all this time I've been showing you that I'm a good man for you and everything so I thought that the yes should have come up or already but you keep wasting both of our time,”

I looked at my wrist watch I had another time nor the energy to take anymore of this I was about to leave and once more he grabbed my arm this time he didn't let go and I glared at him at least not immediately.

“Sandra you have been leading me on for years and it's not fair to me at all I have spent half of a decade on you and your kids, don't you think I deserve a reward too? It's not like much has to change we are already living together so it's just going to be if fancy new documents we keep in the house nothing else..”

I dragged my hand away.

“I'm sorry…but I'm not in love with you and I can't marry you,”

I left the house with tears running down my face.
