"What is wrong with you?" The words were uttered low, but with every bit of intended intimidation and irritation smeared beneath.

Recognizing that voice, I quietly reduced my pace to go peep through the window.

There was Vanessa, scrunching her face like she was faced with some kind of disgust, talking in the way no adult should to a child who had done nothing wrong.

Ethan's little body quaked, tears falling from his eyes, "stop being mean, Vanessa. You're mean."

  • So Long, Mr. CEO. I'm Now With Your Brother    Josh Calls

    ROXANNEIt's been an hour since I left mom sitting alone in that living room all by herself, of not knowing whether she was interested in food or anything.I was staring at that picture for the thousandth time, trying to tell myself it wasn't him. While other part of me was pissed at me for my stupid obsession over a life that didn't concern me. Wasn't I the one who had told him to continue frolicking with other women? In my words, I'd used the word 'fuck'. So even if it was him, he had every right to do whatever he wanted with Sandra Sawyers. Not my business. We weren't even an item, I thought in self-irritation.I turned off my phone, forcing my attention away from the new. Seeing Ethan was still deeply asleep, I rose myself from the bed and headed out to the living room. I heard mom's voice talking on the phone. Her tone caught my attention, drawing perplexity from me."I took him." Mom was telling whoever it was on the other end of the line. She waited a beat, her expression a

  • So Long, Mr. CEO. I'm Now With Your Brother    Curious Or Jealous?

    ROXANNE "This is what Kylian and I have been discussing, mom," I broke the short silence that had enveloped the room, "he actually brought it up. He said you need to leave your job and your apartment.""Oh." Mom blinked, saying nothing."You know this mean you can't step feet outside this building for the main time, Mrs. Robertson. Just like you're officially no longer working for Josh and his mother. And you can't go home to get your stuff. You have to let whatever you have in that apartment go.""What?" Mom squeaked her disbelief. "But...""Mom, your life is more important than any personal belongings. Moreover, you don't really have much."Mom gave me a look.I heaved a sigh, feeling for her, "mom, please. This is for your own good. Those people chasing you might know where you live and will be coming for you there."Ethan shifted in my arms sleepily, he rubbed a small hand over his eyes and let out a hiccupy yawn. I placed a hand on his back, caressing in circles to help him ease

  • So Long, Mr. CEO. I'm Now With Your Brother    Reunited

    ROXANNE The doorbell rang. Kylian who was dressing to go out to God-knows-where, since he wouldn't tell me where exactly he was going to, and I exchanged glances. "Is that your date? The person you're going to see?" I didn't bother to hide my accusation. He chuckled, unperturbed by the accusation, "you don't want me. Yet you don't want others to want me? That's cute though." He caressed my face, before going to answer the door.I eye rolled, partly annoyed at myself for acting up like I was his wife.He was right. I had told him I didn't want such relationship between us, but now I was expecting him to tell me where he was going to and hoping it wouldn't be to go see some woman, possibly the one owner of that pair of pink panties I'd seen in his bathroom my first day here. "Mrs. Robertson?"Pulled out of my thoughts to turn a furrowed gaze to the door, "mom?"She walked in, carrying Ethan and it wasn't until I neared her that I saw she was breathing heavily."Mommy!" Ethan stret

There was Vanessa, scrunching her face like she was faced with some kind of disgust, talking in the way no adult should to a child who had done nothing wrong.Ethan's little body quaked, tears falling from his eyes, "stop being mean, Vanessa. You're mean." His little, scared voice tugged at my heart. I almost wanted to forget my place in this house and slap some sense into that stupid bitch, and then cuddle Ethan to myself. People didn't understand how much of a blessing having a child was, whether you were their biological mother or not. To my utter shock and disbelief, she smacked his mouth. Anger brewed. Still, it was by some kind of magic I wasn't jumping that girl right now and smacking her right back.Ethan's cries increased."Shut up. If anyone hears your voi

  • So Long, Mr. CEO. I'm Now With Your Brother    No More Caldwells

    ROXANNE I insisted on doing the dishes — washing pots and pans and plates. "You don't have to earn your stay, Roxanne." He repeated, in reference to the dishes I had almost argued with him over doing. "I have to," I continued scrubbing the inside of the wide pan he'd grilled the chicken in. He stayed with me in the kitchen till I was done washing and drying the utensils. Then organizing them where they ought to be.When all was in place, we walked back to the living room, watching TV and making smalls talks. We were enjoying the last of the red wine."Your mom might be in danger," he said with an air of sudden seriousness."You think?" I considered with a thoughtful, concerned furrow of my brows.She wasn't my birth mother, but she was the mother I remembered and the one who had taken care of me. She had protected me when she wasn't obligated to. She needed a child to call her own. A baby was her best option. A pre-teen would have been okay. But a young adult? No one would have b

  • So Long, Mr. CEO. I'm Now With Your Brother    Something In Return

    ROXANNE "You're quiet," he mentioned, passing me a glance.We were on our way back to his place. A lot of thoughts have been running through my mind, "Vanessa and her family know me." I said quietly, "the look of fear and disbelief on her mother's face. The shock that had blanketed the father's expression. Vanessa trying to act like your words didn't mean anything. They know me.""I believe that should have been established by now, Roxanne." He replied, focusing on the road. "Yeah. But why do I feel like something's missing?" I faced him, my brows slightly pinched. "What...how do you mean?" He inquired, listening and involving in this conversation with me sincerely, while paying attention to the road. "I don't think that I'm Vanessa's twin sister." I divulged, my eyes straying from his profile to face the road, "yes, I feel there's a connection but twin sister? I think that's quite a stretch given what I observed today.""So you think Rochelle was lying?" A shrug, "I don't know."
