I dreamed of a park.

It was strange, because I had not been to a park in years, and yet the place felt familiar the moment I saw it. The sky was pale blue, the kind of blue that only existed in childhood memories. The trees were tall and thin, their shadows stretched long across the ground. There was a sandbox in the middle of the park, and the sand looked warm and soft, like it had just been touched by sunlight.

I stood there, but my feet did not touch the ground.

It was like I was floa

  • The Brother I Shouldn’t Want   073

    ꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂Kagemoto Kazama laughed.Clearly amused with what I had said earlier, like he had just heard something entertaining and not something that should have annoyed him. His eyes stayed on me the entire time, sharp, calculating, like he was studying me and enjoying what he was seeing.Then he lifted his hand slightly and just like that his bodyguards backed off, guns lowering almost immediately before they stepped away from us like they were never needed in the first place.Something that I couldn't quite name pressed against my chest, I could feel my heart beat getting louder by each passing minute but I forced myself to stay calm.“Bravo,” he said, his voice calm, almost approving, like he was giving me a compliment. “Very brave.”I didn’t respond.I didn’t move either, just stood there and held his gaze, refusing to give him anything more than that. I could already tell what kind of man he was, the type that feeds off reactions, the type that enjoys breaking people slowly, an

    ꧁♡ 𝔉𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔨 ♡꧂Peter was still talking.His voice coming through the car speakers as I drove, steady but layered with frustration he wasn’t even trying to hide anymore. He had been repeating himself for the past few minutes, asking the same question in different ways like he was hoping I would suddenly change my mind if he kept pushing hard enough.“Are you sure this is a good idea?”“Yes.”That was all I said, simple and flat, my eyes fixed on the road ahead like nothing about this was worth reconsidering. There was a pause on his end, the kind that carried more than silence, like he was weighing whether to keep arguing or just give up on trying to make sense of me.“You’ve gone crazy,” he finally said, his tone dropping, more serious now, less patient. “You really think you can storm into Kagemoto Kazama’s estate, rescue your wife, and walk out of there unharmed?”I didn’t hesitate.“Yes.”Another pause, a bit longer this time, and I could almost picture the look on his face, the

    ꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂It took a second.Just a second for what she said to actually sink in, and when it did, it didn’t feel real at first. My mind tried to brush it off, tried to twist it into something less serious, something that didn’t sound like what it actually meant, but it didn’t work. The way she said it, the look on her face, the calm in her voice, it all made it clear that she meant exactly what she said.“Guess I just became a widow instead of a divorcee.”I gasped at the realization of what she had meant.My chest tightened instantly, my thoughts snapping into place in the worst way possible, and before I could even think about what I was doing, I had already moved. I crossed the distance between us in quick steps, stopping right in front of her, my eyes locked on hers, searching for something, anything that would tell me I had misunderstood her.“What do you mean by that?” I asked, my voice low but strained, like I was forcing control into it.Laura didn’t look like she was joking

    ꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂Seeing Laura there, I froze for a second.Out of everything I expected to see in that place, she wasn’t one of them. For a brief moment, my mind tried to convince me I was mistaken, that it was someone else who just happened to look like her, but the closer she got, the clearer it became that it was really her. The same face, the same calm composure, the same gentle expression she always carried and thinking about now, they both elude the same energy.She walked towards me like there was nothing strange about the situation, like this wasn’t a place I had been dragged into against my will, like we were just meeting again under normal circumstances. That familiar smile settled on her lips as she stopped in front of me, her eyes soft as if she was genuinely pleased to see me.“It’s good to see you again, Tim.” Her voice was the same too, warm, light, steady in a way that made people trust her without thinking, and that only made something twist uncomfortably in my chest. I

  • The Brother I Shouldn’t Want   069

    ꧁♡ 𝔉𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔨 ♡꧂Six Months AgoIt started at the worst possible time, right in the middle of something that was supposed to secure my position in New York, something I had been working towards for a long time, something I couldn’t afford to lose. The meeting was already in motion, everything was steady and going in the direction I wanted.The kind of setting where one wrong move could cost everything, and I wasn’t the type to make mistakes like that.But that day, I did.My phone buzzed.It wasn’t supposed to matter, it shouldn’t have mattered, but the moment I saw Tim’s name on the screen, I checked it without thinking, like it was instinct, like nothing else in that room mattered for that second. That was all it took, just that one moment.The message was short, too short, the kind that didn’t leave room for interpretation but still didn’t make sense. A breakup text. No explanation, no argument leading up to it, nothing that matched what we had. I read it once, then again, slower t

    𝐄𝐫𝐢𝐜The door hadn’t even fully closed behind him before I snapped, my hand sweeping across the desk and sending every file crashing to the floor, papers scattering in every direction as if that would somehow ease the anger burning through me. I didn’t bother looking at the mess, didn’t care where anything landed, because all I could see was his face and the way he walked in here like he owned everything, like I didn’t matter.“Who the hell does he think he is…” I muttered under my breath, my jaw clenched tight as I paced the office, unable to stay still, every step fueled by the irritation still sitting heavy in my chest. Frank had always been like that, arrogant, reckless, acting like consequences didn’t apply to him, but this… this was different, and the more I thought about it, the worse it got.Tim is in danger because of you.I scoffed, shaking my head as I tried to brush it off, because that was just Frank doing what he always did, pushing blame onto someone else, making

    ꧁❀ 𝘛𝘪𝘮 ❀꧂Frank didn’t stop pulling me until we reached his car. The whole way there, he kept talking in a frantic rush, like if he paused for even one second, I would suddenly decide not to believe him. His words came out tangled and breathless, his hand gripping my wrist so tightly that I cou

    ☾♡ Eric ♡☽Hatred has always come easily to me.People liked to say brothers should love each other, protect each other, grow up side by side like two trees from the same root. But Frank and I had never grown like that. From the moment we were children, he stood taller, brighter, louder than me. H
