Chapter FiveCAIDENThis was just plain ridiculous.I can't believe this. I mean, the girl whom I'll be married with was that crazy girl whom I shouted at the park? I touched the swelling bump in the back of my head and wince, glaring at her.She looked at me with anger and hurt. She is clenching her hands that I couldn’t help but distance myself from her. I turn to look at her again and checked her out. Hmmm, well she has a nice body and oh yeah. It will be great for her to be in my bed. My thoughts snap when I heard her irritated voice speaking "Dad can you just make this meeting fast so I could go back to sleep and rest?""Well, Alex. Caiden here will be staying for two months so that you two can have a good time and also, you'll be the one to be his tour guide, understand?" Her dad looked at her but she just nodded her head like the matter was nothing to her."Understood" she answered while moving far away from me but it gave me the urge to move closer to her. Well, I'm a tease..."Like I really have a say" I heard her mutter beside me.The girl, Alex, went up the stairs and disappeared. I turned to her parents as they began to talk to me. "Caiden, this is Krista," an old lady pop out from behind Mrs. Anderson and settled beside them. "She'll be the one to assist you and would guide you to your room for you know that we and your parents needed to attend the meeting with the Moore's" Mr. Anderson shook my hand while Mrs. Anderson trap me into a bear hug " Don't be shy to call me Mom," She gave me a smile before heading in their Maserati. I watch their car went off before I followed Krista upstairs.While we walk, I notice the picture frames lining the walls. It was the girl. She was so cute and adorable, so far from that mean girl who threw a helmet at me. We reach the last room of this long hallway. Our house was big but I'm used to it, this house was new to me though it felt very familiar to me.Krista opened the door and a room with a shade of navy blue and black welcomed me in. Hmm, just like my room back home. I went to my window and was amazed with the scenery.A knock interrupted me, from the door -the chauffeur from a while ago carried my luggage in."Just put it in," I look at his nametag and acknowledge him, "Jake, then you could leave." I saw him nod as he put my things inside the room. He left without another word. Not having anything to do, I decided to just tidy things up.I opened my luggage and brought out my laptop. I put it on the table near the window. Next my clothes then shoes. As the sun went down, I was finally finished. I went to my bed and plan to have a nap but before I fall into my dream world a knock interrupted me. I opened it to see Krista. "Dinner is ready, Mr. Cole Ford" Krista said bowing her head."Give me a minute and I'll be down." I fix my shirt then checked myself in the mirror. Hey, I know I'm a man but shouldn’t we need to look nice to be attractive?As I descend downstairs to the dining hall, I saw Alex look up and then down to her food again. Her parents are still not here so the two of us remain seated, eating, not saying a word. The silence was lingering even the clattering of our spoon and fork was barely heard.After having her meal she went up and left me there. Krista saw me staring at Alex’s ass and slap my arm. "Hey!""Hey to you too, mister! Haven't you learned any manners? How could she be nice to you if you look at her like you wanted to-to-to have-““what?”“Like you wanted to have sex with her?" Krista stopped, her face growing red."Your words not mine." and that gave me another painful slap on my shoulder. “Ow! People here are so sadist!”“We are not sadist. You are just so bad so you need a good beating.” She raise her hand to hit me a"No, I'm not bad. She just have a nice--" I tried to reason out which results me to receive another slap."Stop right there. I tell you, if you get to know her, you would really treasure her! She's a precious jewel, very sensitive, vulnerable little flower. I promise you if you forget to be an egoistic as*hole, she will get closer to you and treat you as a friend or maybe even a lover," with that she left me there astonished at her choice of words. Hey! I didn't know that old people nowadays speak like us.I went upstairs and strip off my clothes, settling in my boxers before I lay down on my bed. I turn off the light and fell asleep•••"Ow." my head bumped again at the headboard. I've been staying here for more than a week now. Sometimes I'll go out of my room and to the park but most of the time I talk on the phone with my clients.I cursed some more and sat up. This thing usually happened to me when I have my nightmare. I usually dream of what happen to us on that car accident.I can't remember all of the details just a little part of it. It sucks though, not to remember your name, where you live or who your parents are. When the accident happened my parents weren't with me for they went on a business trip. I undergo a brain operation for I’ve got a head injury. I also had a leg fracture and five broken ribs. Lucky though, I'm alive. My father was furious though. He fired my driver right at that moment and from then on, every driver of mine went on a special training before they were hired.I was in comma for five and a half month. Had a therapy for three months and a frequent headache for that whole year, but now I'm perfectly fine. Seven long years have passed since then.I took a bath and after that walk inside the closet. I settled on a white shirt and cargo pants and went to find my running shoes. I crouch down and saw it under my bed. I locked my door, went downstairs and saw Krista putting flowers in the vase. I told her that I am going out and that I'll be back by breakfast.As I open the door, the cool breeze blew on my face. It is a little bit cold outside but bearable. I put on my earphones and sang with ColdPlay while jogging.Not knowing where I would go, I was brought by my feet to the park. I continue to jog and as I pass the third tree I saw a girl sitting near it, her back facing me.I went to sit with her and ask why she's here but I'm surprise to see Alex. She glared at my hand which is resting on her shoulder. I swear, I almost felt my hand tingling with just touching her. As I was looking at her eyes, I almost felt guilty for what I did to her, but I have my reasons.I was surprised to hear a smack, and found my head tingling. Did she just hit me? Was it her way of greeting me? I glared at her and said, "What's the matter with you?! Is that the way you treat a person which is concern for you? Tell me what your problem is!"*smack* And that told me to shut up and not yell at her. She glare at me with those gray eyes that I found myself being hypnotize. I shook my head as I hear her start talking."First off, you invaded my personal space, second you shouted at me and laugh at me, and third you as$hole will be marrying me and will be staying with me for the rest of my life! "“Well. We could easily get a divorce after that” She spit on my face and walk off without looking back.Hey I didn't see that coming, I sat there astonished. I wiped the spit off my face, stood up and jogged unto her. I would show her that she spit on the wrong person!•ALEXI was sitting at the tree where I usually hang out when suddenly someone put a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and I glared at him but still he didn't get the message. I smack him upside the head and he glared at me. How dare he glare at me like I'm the one which is wrong here!"What's the matter with you?! Is that the way you treat a person which is concern for you? Tell me what your problem is! "Oh he speaks! I smack him again and glared at him.“First off, you invaded my personal space, second you shouted and laugh at me; third, you f*cking as$hole will be marrying me and will be staying with me for the rest of my life! "“Well. We could easily get a divorce after that” I spit on him and walk off without looking back.I ran until I reach our neighborhood. I was about to go inside our house but I was yank by someone. I look down to see Tommy. He stared at me curiously and ask, "What's your problem Alex? Please tell me""It's nothing you should worry about, Tommy" I pick him up and settled him in my arms. I look behind him and sure enough the devil is standing there watching us curiously. "Can you please stop following me Cold foot!" I glared at him and look back at Tommy but notice that he was staring at him too."Alex, is he the one who made you cry?" Tommy locked eyes with him and they had a staring contest. Dway-I mean Caiden bowed down after a while making me cheer. Yey! Tommy bear won."Kid, can you please leave us alone? I need to talk to her" The devil told my Tommy bear but he just shook his head furiously."No! I won't leave my sister! " and with that he force me to put him down and hug my knees closer. I smiled down at him but saw the shadow of the devil is coming closer.He yank Tommy's hand off me and drag him out to the road."Alex! Help me" Tommy keep on repeating this but the devil was already dragging me back home. He locked the door and ignored Tommy's banging on the door. Caiden glared at me and I return it back."What do you want?" I asked after a moment of silent. What he did surprise me.He put his finger in his mouth, took it out and wiped it on my face. I stood there shocked. He took out his phone and took a picture of me with mouth open wide. And that made me chase him."You as*hole will going to pay, Rraaa!" I screamed while chasing him upstairs, but then he is a fast runner and he locked his door before I got him.I look under and heard him laughing his fat arse! Oh, I'm going to make him pay. As I stay outside his room Krista called me out for breakfast. I went downstairs open the door and let Tommy in.We sat on the bar stools and ate our waffles. Tommy put too much maple syrup on our waffles and that made us hyper. We even ordered Krista to make us her special hot chocolate.As we finish all of it, an idea pops inside my head. I told Tommy about it and he also gave me his idea of revenge. We laugh hysterically as we plan the things we will do to him.Caiden Archer Cold foot, You Are Going To PAY! © A.G_2018•••EPILOGUEALEXI look down at the chicken I prepared. I just followed the stuffs that was in the cookbook and sigh when the outcome wasn't like it was on the picture. I slapped my hand on the book and it fell down on the floor. I did not dare to pick it up for I'm so annoyed right now.It's been almost a year after that very mind blowing prank--and surprise at the same time--Cade and Caine with the guys, have given me. It really surprises me when the guys told me that it was their entire plan including that of Cade and Caine fighting. Caiden thought it was all true but by the time he went to the airport, the twins followed him and told him about all this.I cannot forget those memories we've had back on that island. The way we walk around the streets of London, have gone to the city of love and the ancient architectures at Italy, it's all perfect. I would like to repeat that all over again."Hey, sweet cheeks" Someone kissed me from behind and I turn around to see no other than Ca
Chapter Thirty- SixALEXI wanted to ask him for answers. Different questions swarm my mind like annoying flies as we drove away to the outskirts of the city. We entered a familiar road and my familiar hometown of Manhattan.I look at him and mumbled, 'why' against the masking tape on my mouth but he just smiled at me as he drove down. He paused for another second again as he covered my eyes. We continue our slow pace down the road and finally stopped.Hands gathered me on their warmth as spring was about to bloom. I can hear people whispering and I was curious as hell, trying to pry the blindfold but I couldn’t. I was trying to hear their conversation but someone put a wireless earphone on my ear. ‘Blurred lines’ blared and I almost cringe in discomfort, except I feel like my body was swaying with the beat.'Where am I?' I tried to pull my arms just so I can remove the blindfold, earphones, masking tape and their hands but their grip is strong. The hands lead me into a room--I don't
Chapter Thirty- FiveALEXI sat there, trying to wrap my head around on what had just happen. I thought everything would go smoothly, that nothing in my past will bother me anymore.My exhibit has gone well, actually all of my paintings were sold out, the boys visit wasn't expected but I'm happy to have them. The one I do not expect is my encounter with Caiden. He has change, physically. His boy looks matured into that a man. His tousled brown hair was cropped short. His blue eyes were the same but it shone darkly every time his gaze transferred to me.His presence surprises me. Though as the exhibit finally finishes and we were only the people in the room, I remain there, standing, looking at him. He was also looking at me, a million words threatening to spill out of him but he was so proud to say it to me. I stood there, heart on my throat as I let my feelings rule me, “I’ve missed you. Where have you been? I am so worried that I—““You’ve missed me?” His confusion and unbelief win
Chapter Thirty-FourCAIDEN3 years after"Signor,""Signor?"."Signor!" I was startled out of my trance by no other than Lilia."S-si?” I look at her questioningly and watch her pass the phone, "It's Signor Jake. He’s been meaning to talk to you, signor" She walks off hiding her smile to herself.I glared at the phone and answered it, "Hey bro," he giggled like a school girl and I can imagine my own eyes bulging out of their socket.Hmmm… there's something weird going on here. I've never heard him sound so ridiculous like he is right now. I look up to see Lilia looking at me behind the cupboards.I shook my head and made my way out to the patio. I listen to Jake babbling about me not spending time with them and so on. I never bothered to speak and interrupt. I just lay down here, relaxing on the wooden benches as the wind blew. The wide vineyard I have acquired 2 years ago was now fully operational. In a few months time, I could easily create a new concoction. I waited for my chance
Chapter Thirty ThreeCAINEI was driving past the speed limit but I couldn't care less. I just wanted to see her. I look at my brother to see him asleep with his right hand nursing his left arm. A bruise was slowly developing on his right cheek and blood was gushing out of his busted lip.Well, he deserves that for what he has done to Alex.We reach the hospital and I quickly asked the nurse on what room she is currently situated in. She gave me the number of the room and I quickly rush towards the elevator, not waiting for my brother to catch up.I guess his lucky stars are with him for he was fast enough to board inside the elevator, quite unbelievable for he has a broken knee. We reached the fifth floor and the door of the elevator slide open. nThe nurses are curiously giving me a look as they gaze at me and my twin. One of them even asked him if he was okay but he just pushed them off and limped faster.He really is my brother...I arrived at the farther side of the wing only to b
Chapter Thirty TwoCAINEI stared down at my shattered phone on the floor all because of my twin brother.That ignorant piece of shiz got them on an accident. Now Alex was on the hospital. One of the nurses informed me that Alex was in a critical condition. Dang it. I should have accompanied her. Nothing like these would have happened if I go with her. Shit.I have a flight due two hours later this afternoon. I was trying to call my twin but he's nowhere to be found. Absolutely nowhere. That piece of shit would really get it if I get a hold of him.As I pick up my other phone, a letter fell down from the table. I picked it up to see the contract. The contract we made back when we were eight years old. The one that made me yearned for her.The one that made me crazy over her that I have tried to go back even though I know that it is risky.As I hold the paper on one hand, the memory flashes itself on my mind and I found myself going back unto that momentFlashback'Dwayne, I miss you'
