The engine of the car was on and produced a small humming sound as Sterling and I sat in silence. Sterling had his head on the steering wheel and he waited for me to say something. “Look, Sterling. I’m mad too. I’m pissed that my mom would do something like this. But I’m also very shocked. I mean, I knew that she was not the perfect mother and could be manipulated but never did I think that she could be the one to hire an assassin.” “All rich people are capable of doing great evil,” He mumbled and kept his head on the steering wheel. He released a sigh and then continued. “I need to know why. I need to know why she did it. Why did she have Patty killed?” He finally lifted his head. “I–I don’t know. I think it has something to do with power and money but…” I sighed. “I really don’t know. And the fact that Summer took the fall for what she did blows my mind even more.” “We need to talk to her. We need to talk to Summer.” “Yeah, I know.” My voice was small, and my mind replayed the
The phone call dropped and I bit my bottom lip for a few seconds before releasing it. I then took in a deep breath, released it, and headed for the door. I needed to tell Sterling that his brother was coming over. I knew that they did not get along as they used to when they were kids. They may have looked identical but they were very different people. I opened the door and stepped out. I still needed to take a shower but I needed to warn Sterling about his brother coming over first. When I reached the stairs, it did not take much walking for me to see him sitting at the dining table with his laptop open. He did not even notice me until I sat at the table. “Oh, hey.” He smiled brightly, and I hated that I stared at his smile for a few more seconds than I should have. “I thought you would have been getting ready for bed.” He chuckled. “Did you change your mind?” He asked. I shook my head. “Oh, no. It’s not that. It’s just that I would like to tell you something.” I cleared my throa
He was teasing me. Teasing me with his hard-on; making me whine like a puppy that wanted to go play outside but was denied. He was still wearing his boxer briefs and each time he humped me, my senses went wild. His lips then traveled to my neck. I could feel his hot breath against my skin and I could not help but moan a bit louder than I should have. I really did not want Sterling to hear us but my mouth kept doing the opposite. Moaning was the only way to relieve some of the pure rushes of bliss that were running through my veins. Samuel seemed more turned on by the sound that escaped my mouth. He began to lick my jawline and I could not help but bite my lip. His tongue raised goosebumps on my skin and my heart rate was through the roof. He then stopped and proceeded to finally remove his boxer briefs, revealing his manhood. It looked strong, girthy, and lengthy. Veins bulged on it and when it twitched, my body begged to have him buried in me. “Condom?” He asked in a tone I did
I released a short sigh and tightened the towel warped around my naked body. “What do you want, Sterling?” I walked deeper into the room and sat on the bed. The hair fell onto my shoulders and was dry because of the hair cap I used in the shower.Samuel watched us, also waiting to hear what his brother had to say. He only had on pajama pants and his hair was messy. It was obvious that Sterling has already showered and gotten ready. He was dressed as if he was ready to go to a business meeting. His hair was styled perfectly and his suit was a deeper color of blue. His fit body complimented the suit. In short, he looked really good and I had to remember that Samuel was right here so I had to stop ogling his brother. He ran his eyes over me, and an emotion flashed across his face for a second before it became hard again. I tried to recognize the emotion but it was gone as quickly as it came. “Alone. I need to talk to you alone.” “Wh-what?” I chuckled lightly. “Whatever you want to sa
“What? You were eavesdropping on us?” Sterling asked in a tone that was hard. He glared at his brother and waited for a response. I too was waiting for him to respond. But I already had a feeling that he was. I just wanted him to confirm it. “Were you?” Samuel released a sigh and then placed his hands in his pockets. “Yes. Yes, I was. I did not hear everything, but I think I heard enough. Why are you two talking with a murder suspect?” He pursed his lips.I looked at Sterling for help but he had the same look that I’m sure was on my face. We both were stressed, taken aback, and searching for a way to get the situation under control. “Summer did not kill Patty,” Sterling told his brother the truth. “She only took the fall for it because she was manipulated. Patty was actually killed by an assassin. And that assassin was hired by your girlfriend’s mother.” Samuel scoffed and then shook his head slowly. “No. That can't be true. How?” His forehead scrunched in confusion. He looked at
The car came to a stop right in front of a brick building. We had driven a little over two hours to get there, but at least we were finally there. Summer was already outside, standing at the door. I was no longer sobbing; my tears had dried, and I felt much better now that I had exploded and let it all out. I opened my side of the door and got out of the car. After my breakdown, we had not really said anything to each other. Sterling was quiet. Samuel was quiet. And I was too. When the others got down from the car, the doors were closed and locked. I led the way to the house while they followed. “Hi,” I said to Summer and flashed her a small smile. I sniffled dryly and breathed out a sigh as I waited for a response from her. “Are you okay? You look like you were crying,” She pointed out and I chuckled nervously. “But it’s okay, you don’t have to explain yourself to me.” She smiled back. “Hey.” Samuel nodded toward Summer. “It’s been a while, innit?” Summer scoffed lightly and s
“You want me to give you a reason to stab me? Come on.” Sterling laughed in Summer’s face. “If you were brave enough, you would have done it already.” He closed the small distance between them, causing the shard to poke his neck. “Man, what the hell? Stop taunting her!” Samuel scolded his brother. He turned to me. “Now, do you want me to call the police?” I swallowed and breathed out a shaky sigh. “I–I don’t know.” I could not explain it but a part of me just really believed that Summer was not going to hurt Sterling. She was in love with him before and could still be. She even killed someone because of him. I did not think that she was going to do it. “Do it. Do it. Do it!!” Sterling’s tone was rough and his eyes were crazy. The shard was dangerously close to his neck and blood had already started to show. “Please…do something good for once in your life. Do it.” His voice broke. “Wait!” My voice caught everybody's attention. “Summer, you don’t want to do that. He’s playing you a
I stood to my feet and paced the living room as I chewed mentally on all that Summer had told me. To be honest, it crossed my mind that maybe she could even be playing us and just telling us what she thinks that we want to hear.But again, I did not think she was. Everything she was saying was adding up. This was the chance to finally not be in the dark.“We already have money and power. The Smiths are one of the richest families in the world,” I explained to Summer. “We already have generational wealth.”“Yeah, but your mom wants more. She always told me that everything she did was for the greater good. She planned the contract marriage and allowed it to play out just how she wanted.” “Is my dad part of any of this?”She shook her head slowly. “I don't think so. He’s oblivious to it all. You and I know that your family merged one of their biggest companies with one of the biggest companies of the Williams. And just a few months after that, you people get conned? It was all Mrs. Smit
